Gameplay

Bones, like sticks, may be used as makeshift melee weapons. Bone have very short range and do very poor damage. Not recommended for use as a weapon. Bones are good for obtaining leaves from bushes.

Bones can be obtained by:

• Leaving cannibal limbs to cook on the fire or hang on the drying rack for too long.
• Burning a cannibal's whole body (dropping in a campfire, throwing molotov on it, etc.).
• Burning an effigy and collecting the bones after the effigy has been used up.
• Finding them in the caves and around abandoned camps.
• Knocking down cannibal effigies to obtain legs and arms, burn them or consume them to obtain 1 bone each.

The following items contain bones when consumed or burnt:

1

Arm

1

Leg

2

Torso

6

Corpse

Full bodies with every limb attached will provide 6 bones.

Peaceful Mode

Playing on peaceful mode can make it difficult to obtain bones, since there are no enemies, bones will have to be found. There are limited locations where bones can be found, and many of these locations are having their bones removed. The options are:

• Find the locations where they spawn, very limited.
• Knock down cannibal effigies and find legs and arms, burn them to obtain bones from them.
• Use Console Commands, in the main menu type developermodeon. Once you are in the game, press F1 then type additem 178. This will add one bone to your inventory. You can press F1 again and use the arrow up key to repeat the same command.
