The Compass is a small pocket navigation tool. Carried in the inventory, it shows the direction the survivor is facing.
It suits hikers, campers and anyone travelling the backroads. The game counts it as survival gear. It is tiny and very light, and it fits on a key ring.
Compasses are common in army surplus stores, camping stores and pawn shops. Campers, soldiers and hunters often carry one.
Using
The compass works from the inventory. Its tooltip shows the direction the survivor is looking. The camera always faces the same way, so the reading adds little in practice.
The compass can go on a key ring with keys. That keeps it out of the way while still on hand.
Locations
Army surplus stores and pawn shop offices hold a compass more than half the time. Camping stores and hunting lodges hold one about one time in three. Zombies in camper outfits carry one almost a quarter of the time. Fishing storage rooms and survivor caches are also good. Zombies in army camo, ghillie, dean and hunter outfits sometimes carry one. Closets, pawn shop counters and tents turn them up now and then.
