Welcome to Basingstoke
Hello visitor,

You have reached your destination: Basingstoke. Not sure what to do (a.k.a. what to craft and how to unlock characters and hidden achievements)? Then this guide is for you! Follow our guide for your best* vacation ever.

*Your mileage may vary.
Recipes
During your visit in Basingstoke you can craft new weapons, new tech and your favorite beverage. Let us show you how it's done:

The Basics
There are several basic materials which you will need in order to craft anything: Scrap, metal pipe, sticky tape, batteries and electric components. There is also instant coffee and poison. These materials in and of itself don't do you any good in terms of fighting the monsters, so be mindful when you are at a campsite and thinking about filling those precious inventory slots with just the basic stuff. Here are our tips:

For the best travel experience take with you
  • 1 melee weapon (the one you haven't used a lot, because the other ones will likely break during your run)
  • 1 gun (preferably the one which still has ammo)
  • a lot of crowd control items (the sausage roll is reusable!)
  • bonus: don't forget your insurance policy if you have one left from the previous level

Crafting
The loot you pick up is randomised each time you leave the campsite (except for some locations which have fixed items, I'm looking at you X-Ray Goggles). Your inventory size is unlimited once you back out of the campsite. You will get notified when there are new items to craft. Other than that you will have to find out what does what. If only there was a guide to help you along the way...

The following are only items you can craft! A whole lot more items can be found in the game.
Pro tip: you can press the TAB key on an item before crafting to see what it does!

Unlockable Characters
Thief
Unlocked after 50 robberies. So loot, loot, loot and then loot some more. You will eventually get it.
  • Crowbar, let's you break open parking meters and kiosks silently. You need to turn on your torchlight afterwards to get the loot.
  • Loot Scanner, uses batteries. Does what it says.
  • Lockpick set (Passive ability), no more looking for keys or access codes. Very handy!

Construction worker
Unlocked after breaking through a number of walls. There are secrets and shortcuts behind suspicious looking wall segments (you know, bricks protruding). So just punch them with any melee weapon (except the frying pan, that one's just too weak). You are going to make some noise this way though...
  • Hammer
  • Nail gun
  • Nails (+recipe)

Infantry
Unlocked after 50 gun kills.
  • Throwing knife
  • SMG
  • Frag grenade recipe
  • Bullets

Police
Unlocked after stunning 50 enemies.
  • Truncheon
  • Stun gun
  • Flashbang recipe
  • Cell ammo

Banker
Unlocked after hoarding 250£ of cash loot.
  • Laser pen
  • Double espresso coffee
  • Investment portfolio (passive ability), doubles the money you loot.

Tourist
Not sure how to unlock it. Maybe collect all postcards?

Hidden achievements
Art thief
In the museum level there are seven ming vases which you need to loot. Break the glass, shine your torchlight on the vase and then loot. Of course the alarm will sound, when you break the glass. But progress on this achievement is tracked even if you die.

Wildlife photographer
Take a picture with every enemy type. Every enemy that has an entry in the encyclopedia that is. There are eight types in total. The last enemy type (moving tentacle) you will encounter only towards the end.
The End
14 May 2018: Added water pistol mods: fumigator and flamethrower.
11 May 2018: Added loot scanner, explosive sandwich, eggbomb, nails, bullets x10, shells x5, flashbang grenade and frag grenade recipe.

New character

Finally got lucky with the shops and bought a water pistol. Now I am only missing one more recipe, I believe. Something to do with that fruit juice, scrap and components. Maybe some sort of weapon or weapon attachment is required as well. And I haven't yet encountered the rocket launcher I saw on the developer's twitter... Oh, yeah and postcard #8 is still missing!
Xpian  [author] 13 May, 2018 @ 11:12am 
I never tried that ^_^ But I tried most of this sunday to get the water pistol for more recipes, but this weapon seems to be ultra rare and only available at random in the biggest shops which are also showing up once every fortnight. So, no luck today...
