Survive Overnight in a Mega Store Beginner’s Guide – Resources, Weapons & More

Like all those viral YouTube videos you've seen, Survive Overnight in a Mega Store has you doing exactly what the name suggests. You have to spend your night inside and not get caught by the employees or the CEO. That is why this Survive Overnight in a Mega Store beginner's guide is here to assist you in evading anyone that plans to stop you.

How to Gather Resources Effectively

Since the game takes place in a mega store, there are tons of resources scattered around. It can be tempting to grab everything, but you have a limited inventory, so make proper use of it. Your main aim should be to grab as much food as you can, preferably in two slots. Then, pick up some boxes or wood planks to place around your base as barriers.

Roam around the store as much as you can during the day to find more weapons and furniture as well. Furniture will help you stay hidden during the night, as you can hide behind it.

Ideally, you should have spare food in your base and at least one food item in your inventory as well, in case you have to leave your base during the night.

Where Should You Build Your Base

The mega store is a massive area, so it can be overwhelming to find a good spot for your base. You should climb up the shelves and build a base on the second level. This will allow you to stay hidden from sight and having the high ground (Anakin must hate you) means better defense as well.

Try to build a base where you are covered from all directions so that employees don't randomly see you or overrun you. Taking up a corner on the top shelf and then putting up various obstacles around you is a great way to break line of sight. Another thing is to make sure that the area is near food or weapons so that you can grab them easily in case of an emergency.

Tips for Building a Good Base

A good base should have a minimal number of entry spots in case you get spotted. This way, you will be able to defend your base and repair it easily. Cover your base with wood planks to reduce visibility from the enemy. You should also place random furniture, as well, which will make it easier for you to hide.

Don't just place one plank at the side because the employees can easily breach through that. Place a few boxes behind the planks so that coming into your base becomes harder.

Best Weapons

There are multiple weapons available in the game. Depending on what you prefer, you can get swords or guns (melee all the way for me). When you start the game, you won't have any weapons, and you'll have to find them in the store. By completing daily quests and challenges, you can eventually buy stronger weapons and deal more damage.

While guns might seem powerful, they make a lot of noise and alert everyone to your position. So, only use them when you have no other choice. Some of the best weapons in the game include:

• Assault Rifle
• Shotgun
• Katana
• Saber
• Gold AR

You can find some of the weapons while exploring, but others will have to be bought using tokens before you start the game.

Best Tips to Survive the Night

The best thing strategy overall is to explore during the day and stay in your base during the night. While you can hear employees walking around, there are many of them, so you can easily get jumped and overrun. The biggest problem occurs when the CEO arrives to patrol the store.

If he spots you, he will alert every employee, and they will all run to your position. If you spot the CEO, stay hidden in your base and do not turn on your flashlight. All enemies will see your flashlight from a distance, and that will cause issues for you.

Make sure that you stock up on food during the day so that you have the energy to stay hidden throughout the night. The last thing you want is to be on low energy and have to do a snack run. That's a risk you want to avoid at all costs.

You should also repair your defenses if they were damaged or broken the night before during the day. If they breach past your walls, you will be in great danger.

Another good tip for surviving is to play with other players or friends. This will allow you to gather more resources and cover a wider area when exploring. Plus, you can defend your base easily with more people.
