Plan your next Meet Your Maker session
Our independent guide expands on Meet Your Maker’s core systems. By observing patterns, comparing approaches, and iterating on feedback, you can craft sturdier Outposts and raid more effectively without relying on undocumented shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Trap Effectiveness Analysis
Build a simple Outpost with three distinct trap types. Record a raid replay, note which trap caused the most deaths, then reposition that trap and repeat to see how placement changes its impact.
- Experiment with different trap combinations to see how they interact.
- Consider guard placement that covers likely intrusion routes.
02 / THE GUIDE
Patrol Timing Optimization
Create two guards with intersecting patrol routes. Use a replay to measure their timing, then adjust paths to create a synchronized choke point that forces raiders into a single corridor.
- Watch the replay of a raid to learn the layout before attempting your own.
- Adjust your loadout to counter the most common trap types you observe.
03 / THE GUIDE
Loadout Versus Trap Comparison
Run two raids on the same Outpost using different loadouts. Compare success rates and identify which equipment best counters the most common traps in that design.
- Overlap patrols to create zones of higher danger.
- Use the replay system to verify timing and coverage of guard routes.
04 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Construction Coordination
Partner with a friend to build an Outpost together. Assign each player specific trap responsibilities, then swap roles during a raid to evaluate how shared duties affect overall defense.
- Focus on moments where raiders die to identify effective traps.
- Note successful paths to avoid copying them in future raids.
05 / THE GUIDE
Replay‑Driven Iteration Loop
After each raid, review the replay and list three design changes. Implement those changes in the next build, then test again to measure improvement in survivability.
- Coordinate guard placements with your partner for layered defense.
- Synchronize loadouts when raiding together to cover each other's weaknesses.
