Project Zomboid – List of ALL useful VHS tapes guide

Hey there, fellow survivors! If you’re like me, you’ve probably spent countless hours scavenging for supplies in Project Zomboid. But let me tell you, there’s one item that’s often overlooked but can be a game-changer: VHS tapes. I remember the first time I stumbled upon a VHS store in Muldraugh. It was like striking gold! These little plastic treasures can seriously level up your survival skills. So, let’s dive into the world of VHS tapes and how they can help you outlast the zombie apocalypse.

Quick Answer

VHS tapes in Project Zomboid come in two types: Home and Retail. They can be found in houses, stores, and vehicles. Many tapes grant skill XP in areas like cooking, carpentry, mechanics, and survival skills, while others reduce boredom. The most valuable tapes teach a variety of skills essential for surviving the zombie apocalypse.

Types of VHS Tapes

Home VHS Tapes

Home VHS tapes are unique gems in the world of Project Zomboid. Each title spawns only once, giving you a peek into life before the apocalypse. From birthday parties to weddings, sports recordings to general lore, these tapes aren’t just for fun. Some of them are skill goldmines, offering XP for abilities that retail tapes don’t cover. It’s like finding a time capsule that can actually make you better at surviving!

Retail VHS Tapes

Now, retail VHS tapes are the workhorses of your video collection. They’re mostly knockoffs of 90s TV shows and movies, but don’t let that fool you. These bad boys can spawn multiple times and are your ticket to skill city. All of the television skill shows can be found as retail VHS tapes. Most of them are great for fighting boredom, but the real stars are the ones that teach you valuable skills. It’s like having a personal tutor in the zombie apocalypse!
