I found this challenge of the PZ discord, and it's the most brutal thing I ever heard of! With the Susceptible Trait, every breath could be my last. If I don't wear a mask, I die. I've tweaked the mods so the loot is not as scarce, it's at insanely rare 20% mod at the moment, the zombies can turn into sprinters at any moment with "The Darkness Is Coming" mod, and all the NPCs are hostile. Can I survive in a world with barely no weapons, bad water, and scraps of food?

Here's the OP description of the challenge:

"S#!t hit the fan. Countless died. Mass panic and chaos ensued: Military posts, houses, businesses, cars, everything was either Destroyed or looted by the first weeks. You are late to the party, 6 months after the Knox event.

All remnants of civilization is a small number of survivors, sometimes in groups. Most of them wont mind killing you to steal your goods, but be slow to judge, tomorrow you might just be the one taking a life over someones shirt.
Helicopters and planes sometimes fly by or drop stuff, so it looks like theres some form of goverment still standing, somewhere.
Most people you see seem to be unaffected by the airborne virus, lucky bastards.

The infected will be fast shamblers, and not particulary tough or smart, but theyll sure still be a problem, beware of the piles of corpses you leave behind.

To give some context:
This is the modlist i use, its focused on immersion, realism and difficulty while maintining as loreaccurate as possible. Recommended PZ hours to play: +1000h

Tweaked Settings:

This is the settings I might be able to survive with my level of skill, replaced the 90% loot mod for the 20 loot and set all loot from extremely rare to insanely rare.

Other conditions:
Spawn is random (county random spawn, not casual random spawn)
Build has to be a randomly generated one, feel free to reroll. only added trait must be susceptible.

"GOAL/s" of the run:
Find and fix a boat, and use it to sail to Kingsmouth island in order to set up a base there.
(Shortwave Survivors) Contact and Trade/Complete quests with a survivor group. "
