Item Preparation is Key
Combat Tips and Tricks for We Happy Few
In We Happy Few, players are given access to an inventory from which they can craft and equip useful items, tools, and weapons. When heading out into the open world, it’s a good idea to have everything sorted out first. Have a weapon in your weapon slot, and in your quick slots place a healing item and perhaps something you can throw (such as rocks or bricks).
Unfortunately, when you first start the game you can only equip one weapon. You may be thinking that you can easily just equip another when it breaks, because it will most certainly break, but that’s not really true. Bringing up your inventory does not pause the game (this isn’t Fallout 4 you know) so you’ll be attacked while trying to equip. Seeing as how it takes about four seconds to equip a weapon in We Happy Few, it will rarely finish since it’s interrupted each time you’re hit. With that in mind, make sure that the weapon you do equip is at peak durability. This allows for more hits before it shatters into splinters.
As for your throwables, items that can stack are best. Rocks, bricks, things of that nature. While bottles are useful, you can only place one in a slot, and you will definitely want more than one.
