Project Winter is a hard game to win, but relying on proximity chat makes it even harder, so get radios and chat. There’s of course another main reason to craft a radio and it’s so you can chat when you’re not in proximity to one another. If one of the radios you gave to someone suddenly appears in the item box? Who gave up an easy communication method, and why? It’s a surefire way to find the traitor. If they refuse a radio? You’ve got a traitor in your midst. However, if you craft radios and give one to everyone, it’ll override that initial starting traitor radio, and it will stop them from being able to easily communicate their dastardly deeds. In case you didn’t know, the two traitors both start with a walkie-talkie and can communicate silently away from the rest of the team.
One of the peculiar issues with the game in its current state is that once you equip a radio, you can’t go back to just speaking to your fellow traitors.
Get radios for everyone, it’ll damage traitor communication More than that, if you stick together in large groups, you can root out traitors a little easier as they can’t slink off and sabotage you, or collect their tools of dishonesty. Secondly, being in a group of at least three (again: ideally four!) means you can open almost any bunker cache you come across without wasting time to trek back to the cabin and request help. Firstly, if there’s four of you, at worst if you have somehow grouped up with the two traitors for your exploration mission, you have a good chance of spotting them, and can even fight back if they’re in cahoots. While a few of your teammates are gathering and crafting, make sure a team of at least three people is exploring together: ideally four of you, and there’s two major reasons for this. Stick together, even if you suspect a traitor
This way whenever a blizzard hits or even just after a particularly long trek to discover the objectives, you can come back, get warm and get full of food, so you can venture back out into the snow.
Set your team up so that someone is gathering resources and crafting, while another is gathering food, all of which can be placed in the storage in your cabin. Even if someone you know and have joined the game with ends up being a traitor, you can make use of that early on. One of the most important things in Project Winter is communication.
How to win at Project Winter: Team Composition It’s a tricky game, and despite being “out now” still feels like it’s a little bit early access, with some peculiar proclivities and survival game aspects that make it difficult to master, and with a huge reliance on teamwork, the kindness of strangers can often change the flow of a game, so we’ve put together a surefire way to win the round and beat the scummy traitors. This is a game very similar to Among Us, but set in a desolate snow-based arctic area, pulling eight players together to try and get rescued and not be murdered or duped by the suspicious traitors.
Project Winter has hit Xbox Series X | S, and Xbox One via Game Pass, and has come out of early access on PC, also entering PC Game Pass, meaning there’s a massive pool of players all coming together to try and win, beating the traitors and escaping the tundra-wilderness the game offers.
