Zero To Hero Trait Challenge | ProjectZomboid

so in today's video I'm giving myself the challenge of starting with absolutely zero traits nothing at all nothing positive nothing negative and we're going to see how good we can get this character through building skills whether that's watching life and living through manually doing things through Reading guides I want to see how challenging this can be to go in there with absolutely nothing special about me essentially I'm playing me in this run I'm picking the absolute NPC default human being um I have however given them a pretty nice costume I've given them the official SPO mascot outfit which I something about this just made it that little bit more Sinister so as you can see here we have spawned in with absolutely no traits whatsoever we've got no skills we do have Fitness and strength as standard now apologies if there is a way I can get rid of this I wasn't aware I probably could have made him unfit that would have got rid of this but as you can see we have absolutely no skills to us whatsoever now we've spawned inside of the bookstore in Rosewood which is great but this means we don't have a weapon and there's going to be a ton of zombies outside so it's not the easiest of starts God I can already hear one of the zombies outside that is not great there is a can opener for some reason and a bottle of bleach which we may have to drink later on we've got some scissors for now which we'll have to do as our weapon not ideal whatsoever now I am going to get some of the fundamental cooking book early here uh just because we are really going to have to crack on with some reading I know exciting tea collectors we've already picked up cooking electrical we will grab that God those zombies sound Incredibly Close tailoring we are going to take as well mechanics perfect very very good start if we get ourselves a generator magazine that would be pretty phenomenal as well phenomenal I can't speak at all fishing perfect there goes nothing right I say we immediately just try and get some somewhere safe okay we look all clear just need to hope that one of these rooms is open perfect okay phenomenal start okay nothing seems to be here at the moment now let's get the volume down on this TV so we don't attract any zombies we're going to whack on life and living as well as like I said we we really need to grind out our skills over these next few days a automotive manual perfect I noticed in my previous video I have a really bad habit of saying perfect I'm going to try and refrain from saying it however but if you are someone that watched the previous video I am very sorry in advance if I uh inevitably inevitably god um [ __ ] up again should also say I'm filming this hungover I'm so bear with me if I'm a little bit slow I feel like I'm uh I'm probably not going to be very articulate okay we're going to drink this whole entire bottle of milk just so I can then refill it with water just so we can then walk around with the water water bottle not finding the best of loot in this house but that's fine I think for me the for now at least I really don't want to miss any of the life and living shows we do have around an hour but I'm not going to take a risk I'm going to sit down and we are going to make a start some of this reading I think I'm going to get the magazines out the way with first just cuz we can very quickly fly through those of course reading the dance magazines that takes absolute priority uh in a zombie apocalypse of course now what should take priority here I think we are going to I think I'm going to go with uh electrical to begin with whilst Woodcraft plays in the background there we go we've already got our first skill so we've achieved carpentry level one carpentry level two I should say now I do tend to have my XP multiplier on quite low I don't tend to give it a big boost however it seems to be absolutely flying up there you go XP multiply is only on five out of 100 now maybe for this challenge it would have made more sense to leave it at one which is oh which is the default okay I know I've technically cheated a little bit here I'm now going to adjust this so from now on it's set to the lowest setting of one just so the skills go up a little bit slower I do apologize about that that is poor for my behalf now I think we will go check out some of these other apartments now I desperately do need to find a better weapon um the saucein I guess this will have to oh God no they're both battered a meat cleaver we'll have to do for now it's better than the scissors at least God I can really hear these zombies still I'm wondering if they're nearby at all now it looks like we've picked up a little bit of a dud here not really seeing anything scrap Electronics no that's pretty terrible uh we have found a lighter so I guess we can pick up smoking or you know burn some things down later on okay that starting to sound like maybe the back door they're banging on or is it the front door oh God it's not good either way it's going to start attracting them to our location that does sound Incredibly Close okay we've got a nice amount of food here to take whatever they were banging on I'm no longer hearing the banging so I think they've smashed the way through get your knife we attach that to our belt this is absolutely terrifying just look at him absolutely deranged now we do need to find a backpack of something very quickly just cuz we are getting very overly encumbered okay no zombies so far this is quite a nice apartment I like this one leather jacket hold on can I don't think I can actually wear this no oh my God I mean does it kind of count if uh I keep the head and tail I mean I really do not want to know how that tail is still attached I don't know where the rest of it is staying I think later on I'll make make my mind up on whether I want to do this I think for now I'm going to stick to the full costume maybe if this character lasts a while we will change things up uh ooh so this is all very handy go in case we found a shotgun fantastic I actually have all loot set to extremely rare so this is very very lucky for the start I think we're going to make this our flat so I'm going to dump all of the reading material on the floor here still heavily encumbered that's not good there's seriously no zombies in this whole building turn that TV right down don't want that attracting any zombies in an empty thermos perfect I've done it again I'm already saying perfect again right I think that is enough exploring for one day I'm going to come back here we're going to sort through all of our stock and supplies and there we go so all of our stocks are laid out in front of us so we know how much we're working with here I think like I said until the helicopter event has passed I reckon I'm going to use the this apartment sort of as a base for now just cuzz it's nice and in the center and it's something we can easily Retreat back to I'm now going to take the rest of the day just to read through more of our magazines and just get through more of the boooks as well there you go just did time for the fishing show as well oh God I can hear smashing glass I'm really worried that that might be downstairs regardless we are just going to tidy up our inventory eat some food and get to bed with that I believe it's time for us to call it a night [Music] nice and early start this morning now the cooking show should start around 6:00 so I think I'm going to sit down and take some more time to read this electrician book um I think these first few days I'm just going to grind out reading these books as much as possible so there might not be a lot to watch content wise initially here we go perfectly in time for the cooking show and we're going to eat all of this lettuce and and I think I'm going to read the first aid volume book first as well I think yeah I'm going to go for first aid volume one to read next as well there we go and we get a another chance to watch the carpentry show at this rate we'll get to watch every show for the first week and hopefully level up our skill to a uh a nice usable uh skill level not really feeling like much of a hero at this point definitely feeling that zero side I don't think we've killed a single zombie yet and we're going to go for the mechanics but conect cuz as well so not A lot's changing right now there we go we're now also getting our farming skill up a little bit uh cturing the life of Living again this is easy easy well I've maxed out stats in no time and I've just heard a gunshot which probably means we are going to have a swarm of zombies catching up to us very soon perfect that is two entire books that we've read today as well as three of the life and living shows I think that means we've earned some beef jerky let's get that down hole we also have a nice fresh avocado as well why not we'll treat ourselves I feel like knowing my look I'm just going to grind out reading for like the first week get all of my skills up really high come across my very first zombie and then just die [Music] immediately and just like that it's the start of day three already and guess what that calls for no for once we are not reading we're going to sit down and we are going to practice our reloading skill now with this you can just sort of grind out if you're not aware um just unloading and reloading your same gun constantly will get XP for the reloading um so we're just going to sit here and do this for a few hours I'm already incredibly bored this is oh God not the exhilarating content that I was uh expecting to make today you know what I think we're going to come back to this when we find a handgun where we can put more bullets in at a time because this is far too slow slow doing it with a double barrel shotgun and so for day three you've guessed it more reading I think today we're going to go for tailoring and there we go yet another carpentry show we should get us leveled up hopefully to level three this time already and there we go level three carpentry now I might be reading the room wrong a little bit here but it feels like there is one thing missing from this challenge so far and that is killing at least one zombies we are already 2 days 6 hours in so we're on the third day and we haven't killed a single zombie we haven't even seen a zombie for all we know this is just a random furry raiding people's apartments and eating the leftover food whilst they're away on holiday for all we know there might not actually be a zombie apocalypse this could just be pure mental illness so I think we step outside and we bash the brains in of the first thing that we see regardless of it being a zombie or not okay it wasn't our door that was smashed last night that's very positive okay there is a fair few of them right let's just get to work oh no no no no no not good oh my God we're going to ruin our furry costume at this rate o nice truck God spios is a natural at this he's a Natural Born Killer come on let's just round you all up make this a little bit easier for me wait I am bleeding for some reason reason I don't want to have the same issue oh my left foot once again I'm having the same issue as the Ronald McDonald video where when you wear these costumes you spawn in not wearing shoes oh God so as soon as I've wiped these out my first mission is to find a nice pair of shoes to Nick okay both our feet are scratched so we're going to have to bandage up our feet straight away and I'm just going to stick on the first shoes I can see there we go not really finding much good loot on these zombies one's wearing red fril Underpants so you know if they're not going to wear them I may as well wear them I mean you can't see it under here you just see this terrifying costume covered in blood but underneath you know he's dressed to impress neighborhood seems a bit quiet after that I think getting some better weapons has got to take priority there is a medical store nearby I mean could be handy uh I don't really think we need it right now oh they've all spotted us already oh God bad time for the game to freeze a little bit there now do any of you have anything one of you does has a have a doll I'm going to take that doll I could do with some friends another doll will take that as well nice making loads of new friends I think we check out the car parks and see if we can get ourselves a new ride that is a nice mustache dude I think I might just leave it as a mystery with this episode of uh what this guy looks like underneath you don't really need to know what he uh what his face looks like now I quite like to get a vehicle like this I like the bigger vehicles that can store more oh an axe that is perfect now it will be key to improving uh dismantling people's watches when we get the chance to but we do need to find a screwdriver before we can do that um once we do find a screwdriver we can massively amp up our electrical skill if we can then amp up our electrical and mechanic skills that will mean that we can start hot wiring cars it won't matter if we don't have a key for them we are starting to get a little bit tired now I do have a bad habit of pushing my luck with killing zombies um so I think I just wipe out whichever ones approached me now hopefully just these three and then we probably should return back to base I do want to check out this police car though let's try get a sneaky look at this yes more shot gun shells we're getting tired we're over encumbered we need to get back right not even going to loot the body we're leaving where is that banging coming from it must be from next door but I mean I've checked all the houses in here there shouldn't be a zombie in this building what an eventful little day out that was we've got ourselves in a little bit of a mess uh and now let's put these dolls where they belong in bed with this fully grown man they look like the twin girls from The Shining God that's terrifying let's get ourselves some more sleep right I think we had a little bit too much excitement yesterday maybe it's a good idea that we clean up some of this Blood uh we are going to wash all our clothing uh from the toilet though I told you this isn't a very normal person there we go much better and just in time to catch a little bit of the cooking show let's read about trapping as well I'm going to eat this entire ham to myself as well cuz I'm quite hungry now we do desperately need to get a backpack because we're struggling to carry around the ammo for this shotgun uh oh for some reason eating an entire half has made me go from heavily encumbered to only a slight heavy load that's interesting I think we're going to go out again tomorrow and try and be productive I think today is just going to be another chill day of trying to grind out these skills so I think I'm going to take a quick look at reading fishing volume one now we're heavily incumbered again that's really strange I don't know why that keeps happening now it's nearly 10:00 so let's get a nice early night sleep right okay we are starting this recording on a brand new day I'm feeling a little bit fresh and not as well on death's door as yesterday uh so we're on day five I really need to prioritize getting myself a backpack at this point that seems to be the main priority right now I think um I'm going to try and be a little bit more action packed for these remaining few days as I now sit down to do some more reading um just cuz obviously this is going to be no fun whatsoever if I just sit here and read non-stop but saying that we're now going to do a little bit of reading okay one of the zombies is set off a car alarm outside that is going to attract a lot of them to us that's not ideal whatsoever um we're just going to sit here watch the rest of this cooking show do a little bit more reading and then we will go outside and uh see just how many zombies are nearby we might have to sort something to do with our heavy load here that's not very good at all okay I can hear banging on a door can eat this sausage now I don't know whether I needed to have eaten this Cooks probably did okay I'm probably going to regret that oh I'm seeing a fair few zombies out of the back oh Jesus Christ okay not good that bagging noise is incredibly close oh my god oh there's a lot of zombies nearby now right okay well I wanted a more action-packed day today and I think we're going to get one oh this is a bit intense [Music] okay we can take a second to breathe you know what I think we're going to go and have a look around some of the houses nearby we need a backpack very badly uh so that's got to take priority ooh generator Wicked uh I'll make a note of this on our map right Wicked some screwdrivers we can use this to just mantle some digital watches now and which will be integral for getting our electrical skill up okay there is a zombie in here somewhere now are they upstairs or downstairs now I've got Loot on extremely rare but for some reason I'm still finding good amounts of loot everywhere that sounds like this one oh my god there were two of them and finally we can start dismantling these watches get our electral skill up God we're having a really hard time trying to find a backpack who what is this we will take these military boots just cuz they will offer better protection than our current shoes right we are just going to take a little moment to rest before we push on to the next house just cuz we are getting quite tired oh my God there's so much food here I just don't understand it I put it on extremely rare loot spawn and yet we're still finding so many different things we're going to dismantle this radio really quick we're just going to lead the rest of now uh I might take the coffee that I saw here right we are heavily incumbered again that's not good uh the Probot see I do want that but we can put this on for now the SAT will'll have to do oh before I forget it's life and living time let's get that carpentry show them o there's a lot of zombies outside this window let's close those curtains hope we don't get noticed another fanny pack we can wear this one on our back no don't tell me this is more shotgun ammo which dag is great but we just oh my God I do want this I could do with the ammo we'll leave it for now I'm going to make a note of this on the map there we go so we know it's here we'll come back for it another dance magazine hell yeah oh hello hello all right bashing brains in nearly no why oh my God move now [Music] [Music] BOS and another watch we can dismantle oh there is a de pistol as well I do like these oh God that made me jump come on jump out you oh it's a socially awkward zombie Automotive magazine nice nice nice right let's go kill some more zombies oh we are getting tired though I just need to take a moment to rest again oh bags you've all got bags oh that's attracted another one oh my God there's more of them in there oh my my God right quickly put this duffel bag on my back oh [ __ ] right let me put my shotgun in this bag and that should help the encumbrance uh it helped a bit o a metal work book yes we do need this a box of tea bags brilliant all right let's just eat some fresh food let's eat all of this lettuce oh the nature shows on I do need to watch this oh my God oh my God where did that other one come from that come from upstairs I mean we're leveling up no no no no nice oh we are knacked at this point we really do need to rest let's go upstairs hopefully there aren't any zombies I mean one look like it jumped from stairs it looked like it came from here no oh okay is this another gun case nothing in it more shotgun shells oh my God right we are absolutely battered at this point we are exhausted we are just going to read these manuals though it just means we can drop them that little bit quicker of course we got to prioritize reading the dance magazines that is key to our survival right we're going to read a little bit more of our new metal working book and then we'll get ourselves to bed probably around [Music] 10:00 there we go and now we're on day six right we're going to grab some food and then we're going to keep pushing on some more of these houses let's eat a canned potato that sounds absolutely horrendous right time to push on o some more zombies over here do we take them out yeah go on oh my God another generator dude come on oh that's just embarrassing just looks like he's dry humping the window oh hand axe um I would quite like that oh my God I'm just not even going to bother looking at the food I just know there's going to be loads of it everywhere it sounds like there's another zombie in here oh my God ah don't do that where's the other one gone oh wow there's quickly just read this magazine so I can drop it straight away same with the other one you know what this axe has been great but I feel like we might need to drop it it's just seems a little bit too heavy for us we are going to quickly dismantle this radio as well God our electrical skill has barely moved this is going to be a really slow process oh hello oh hello I think one of you's noticed me right you know what I'm probably going to end up regretting this I'm dropping the axe I just think it's too heavy for us and we're going to start using the small axe yeah that's already helps our incumbrance so I attracted another one over oh my God I think he has all right one at a time that has leveled up our ax skill oh my God come on we need to get out of here quickly no no no no no no not this one oh my God there's no I would go further away but we're just too tired right don't notice me don't notice me okay I think we're good I just need to rest God they're all so close we're going to take this time just to read our metal working book and just recover God I can hear so many zombies outside this is going to be a nightmare to leave right I don't really know what to do now um I'm starting to get slightly tired normally I'd push my look and I try and get through over whatever zombies nearby but we're just kind of getting tired really quickly we are up to is 71 kills now but we are we are losing weight as well that's not good I'm just going to take a rest now I'm going to go straight to [Music] bed okay we are about to hit day seven um about 3 hours we would have for six days obviously given also the day we spawned in on that puts us on day seven so we're making it through our first week quite comfortably we're going to raid these cupets now as we're losing weight we're going to eat marjerie cuz it should help us gain a lot of weight it will make us quite un happy though I actually see what the damage is outside oh hello good morning Jesus [ __ ] Christ now in the last episode uh or the last uh video I posted I should mention I decided to grab a shotgun uh and just take on all the zombies and this ended up drawing more of them to me so I feel like maybe I shouldn't do that this time around oh my God no no what am I doing no no the SPI hat that's not good I'm bitten I've been bitten twice I can't believe this oh my god well you know what I'm going to die the new mission is to get the SPO hat back Jesus Christ no okay no no no no no no no no okay move ah okay okay okay you know I sat down today in front of my computer and and I set myself a goal of getting to I was going to aim for two weeks in and then stop here and I was thinking yeah maybe I'll turn this into a series um I just want to start off slow you know obviously build up my traits and everything oh that's so poor we were 2 hours Short of making it through the first week and now you actually get to see what the character looks like without the spiffo Hat on well that's disappointing um if anyone wants to see me try this challenge again please let me know um the Channel's been doing pretty decent recently we've been getting some okay amount of views a lot of new subscribers so um if you want to see me try and take on this challenge again and actually do a good job of it cuz this is so
