Changes: Secret Room

Revision as of 18:40, 21 September 2019

Secret rooms are a very poor place to survive in, depending on how it was made. If it has a heavy door that is hidden from view, it may be a slightly more viable option, because zombies will have a difficult time get through and bandits will have a very difficult time finding the room. If a secret room is like a compartment, or a reservable bookshelf, it is a bad place to set up a safe house since those entrances are generally not heavy and can be fairly easily broken through. More often than not, secret rooms are also small.

Advantages

The room is hard to find by bandits, so the only thing you really have to worry about is zombies.

There is may be only one or two entrances to a secret room, so it's easier to barricade.
Some preppers may hide their sashes in a secret room, so you may rarely find supplies.
They often are used as some sort of entertainment room, either for children or as a man cave. So books, comics, or toys and children books could be found.
There are other things the room could used for so you could find a variety of items such as: alcohol, guns, or formerly valuable objects.

Disadvantages

The room will generally be small.
Very,very rarely will you come across a secret room, and chances are you will miss it.
Some secret rooms can only be accessed using electricity.
If you are in the early days of the apocalypse you may find living people in these rooms. They may be friendly or the might not, but given you were probably just looting their home they might be moved to aggression.
Later in the apocalypse you may find zombies in these rooms of people who starved. Fighting them in what will probably be a small space may be difficult.
It will be small and zombies have a great sense of smell so you will be trapped.

-A secret room is at least a decent place to hide from zombies due to the room already being hidden and can easily be overlooked if the house is poorly examined some houses that belonged to people who have a lot of money will put up a secret room for themselves the entrance to the secret room is hidden in plain sight[[File:Secret_room.jpg|thumb|An entrance to the secret room be sure to examine the house enough to notice something about the wall.]] (such as being a bookshelf, part of the wall, a door with no handle, being painted the same color as the wall etc.) and can be used to hide in if you do not have the tools and supplies to fortify the house you can use the secret room as a starting point to securing a house if you have found at least one.
