Furniture Store is one of several Portal Worlds the player can discover.

Description

As the name suggests, this Portal World is a furniture store located in Anteverse 23. The store is incredibly dark with almost no lighting, so a source of light such as a Headlamp or Flashlight is highly recommended. It is advised to bring both if possible. Barring the occasional lamp, the only light source is lightning flashing outside. The entire store is surrounded by Zombies beating on windows. Inside, various pieces of furniture of styles not found elsewhere are available for the player to package.

To leave, the player must find and press five buttons to power the elevator in the centre of the store. Leaving the Portal World by any means and coming back will shuffle the location of the buttons and require the player to re-push any previously pressed buttons. Once the elevator is powered, it will take the player to the top floor of the building, where they'll have a chance to interact with a Email Terminal before exiting this Portal World.

The area at the top of the elevator is completely safe and has two power outlets, making it a valuable location for a base. However, to bypass the switch puzzle and spawn zombies, an alternate source of vertical mobility is required, such as a carefully placed Jump Pad combined with some form of Gravity Dampener, Personal Teleporter, Rope Plant, or Jetpack. No enemies can enter the base, nor can the Leyak, Assault Event or Portal Storms, and Zombies do not spawn if the switch puzzle is bypassed.

Strategy

  • Be prepared:
    • A fully charged Makeshift Headlamp Makeshift Headlamp is strongly recommended. A secondary light source, such as a Flashlight Flashlight, is useful when not in combat.
      • While it can be seen as cheating you can raise the gamma on your pc to be able to see better aswell, however this isn't as effective on the basement level, so its still recommended to bring a flashlight/headlamp.
      • It can be helpful to use a hand Flashlight before pressing any buttons, to save your Headlamp charge for when you'll need weapons in hand.
    • Be well-rested, fed, and hydrated.
    • A melee weapon of some kind is important for clearing out zombies, once they start spawning. The Lightning Spear Lightning Spear is particularly effective. Alternatively, the Cane Sword can be found in an umbrella rack on the right side of the store (relative to the entrance point, facing the elevator).
    • A shield can be used to block Zombie attacks. The Charge Shield Charge Shield can stun them.
  • If the Jetpack Jetpack is equipped, the wearer can fly to the top of the elevator shaft without needing to press any of the buttons. Doing this avoids combat altogether. This is not available until later returns to the store, however.
  • You can drop items in the elevator to collect later to avoid being over-encumbered. This is useful because the unique weapons found here are heavier.
  • No Zombies will spawn until one of the five buttons is pressed.
    • It is recommended to loot the store as much as is desired before pressing any buttons, to avoid having to fight zombies as you do so.
    • The buttons spawn in a random selection of a specific list of spawn points each time the Furniture Store is entered, though it appears that there will always be at least one button on each of the three floors of the Furniture Store. It is recommended to identify the location of all 5 buttons before pressing any of them, to minimize time spent fighting the growing zombie horde as you run between buttons.
    • It is recommended to start with the button(s) in the basement and work upwards. Move between the buttons as swiftly as possible, attempting to avoid zombies rather than fight them, to minimize the number of them that spawn. Once all buttons are pressed, head to the elevator immediately.

Enemies

The only enemies in this area are Zombies. They will only start spawning inside after the first button is pressed. Each subsequent button press causes their spawn rate to increase.

Items

All items, including rare weapons, respawn during portal resets, and an arbitrary number can be collected.
