Dave, the geek
Promo Survivor #1
History
“Yeah sure, take the shotgun if you want, I’ll take the… AMMONIUM… NITRATE!”
As far as he remembers, Dave always found reality to be terribly boring. So he locked himself up in an imaginary world and learned piles of useless stuff… useless until now. Dave is a fount of knowledge. His chemistry mastery makes him look like a superhero amongst other survivors. At least until he opens this mouth, then everyone remembers he’s a real geek.

Gameplay
• At first glance, Dave seems like an underdog. Going up close and personal doesn’t suit his fancies. He follows other Survivors, does the searching after they’ve cleaned up and stays as far away as possible from the Zombies to shoot’em up. He’ll gain experience slowly until he finds the glass bottles and gasoline. Then it’s not just one but TWO Molotov Cocktails that he can make, becoming a true pyrotechnician. At this stage in the game, some Zones are probably saturated with Zombies and Dave can make great leaps in experience points.
• Dave’s favorite equipment is the flashlight and Ma’s Shotgun. The flashlight allows him to find more stuff while Searching and the quick assembly of his Molotov cocktails. Ma’s Shotgun is an all-in-one melee and ranged weapon, allowing Dave for extra space in his Inventory! Dave also favors another advanced weaponry: the sniper rifle. His Skills make him an excellent sharpshooter.
• Dave gets along well with the more pugnacious Survivors. He finds the better equipment for them and keeps gadgets no one wants for himself. If his partners protect him efficiently and give him what he needs to survive, Dave may give them one of his Molotov cocktails in return. Having two such weapons in separate places is a precious asset!
