Tips for effective resource gathering expeditions in Metal Gear Survive, including preparation, tool usage, and navigating different zones.

·Multi-source verified (72/72)

Exploring the open world of Dite for resources is a constant activity. You'll need a steady supply of wood, iron, plastic, and other materials for crafting and base upgrades. Expeditions into both clear and dust zones are necessary. Clear zones are safer but offer fewer rare resources, while dust zones contain more valuable materials but are significantly more dangerous due to limited visibility and stronger enemies.

Before embarking on an expedition, ensure you have enough food, water, and oxygen (for dust zones). Equip appropriate tools like a pickaxe for mining and an axe for chopping wood. Mark resource-rich areas on your map for future reference. Remember to prioritize stealth and avoid unnecessary combat to conserve resources. Establishing forward operating bases (FOBs) or temporary shelters can also aid in longer expeditions by providing a place to rest and store resources.
