The Large Hardware Store is a type of location that can be searched in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.
Description
Good source of resources for construction.
Background
Much like their smaller counterparts, they sold a large variety of household hardware and provided special services like custom-order items and repairs before the outbreak. They also have a large amount of building supplies in stock, making them valuable for any survivor groups in need of construction resources.
Possible Finds
- Wood, Metal, Cloth, construction-related components and household junk are common.
- Construction-related melee weapons like Hammers can occasionally be found.
- Food, Water, medical items, other types of weapons, and gear are rare, but can sometimes be found.
Level Calculation
The level of a large hardware store is always one level higher than the area it is located in.
Tactics
Large hardware stores are decently large and have 4 zombie spawns, all of which are positioned close to the resource containers concentrated in the northern, southern and eastern corners. A survivor should be dispatched to cover each one, though keeping them near your designated scavenger is also a good idea should firepower or manpower be lacking.
Long rifles are recommended here, as there is plenty of space for them to be used in, as well as few obstructions that block shots. Being a medium-high risk mission, a mission in a large hardware store should be carried out by three or four survivors, though it is doable with just two.
