You wouldn't be Tomb would you?

Glad you liked them and I hope they help!

Nah, don't do that. It just takes practice.

Thanks, I really appreciate it! I had debated whether to do it as Gunner or Phalanx, but went with Demo and the bots did great up until Queeny showed up and they couldn't deal with her walking at them. Otherwise, they were great the rest of the mission.

@scottzi115 naw man, you crushed it. would you consider doing this same mission with other classes, though? just this final mission one I mean. I know you said 5-1 is technically the hardest, but this is technically the Boss of all bosses for this game

@@patt.711 Thanks, and yeah I would want to try it again maybe with Phalanx at least. Gunner maybe, but that would be it probably. This mission is fun all things considered, just random players can make it frustrating and difficult.

huh?

Soon, should be this week in all fairness.

Then Skynet must fall.

Nah, I wouldn't say lucky. Every other time I did it, I got to the end and messed up kiting. Rng does matter, but skill plays a larger part in it.

Nice, but there's always more lol at least until 5-3

Not really no. Default PUPS is just the best option in almost every situation. There is a very select reason I would bring Bloodhound.

@@scottzi115 me and my friend failed the pathogen queen fight when I was blood hound. It was probably mostly due to him standing in queen acid spit... BUT i took off bloodhound and we easily won the second time. What would you use blood hound on?

@@EviLNox8 first off, congrats! Bloodhound for a team that has roughly 0 burst damage and even then, the AoE slow is still probably better.

Last part was a mess all because I screwed up a cryo placement.

It's a bug that came out a while ago after a patch they made. Praetorians do a lot of damage in general, but the multi hit attack they do is bugged and will hit you for at least 3000 damage. This kills you instantly even with human tanks and it was tested with that card too.

@@scottzi115 i assume they dropped support for the game and will never fix it right?

@@EviLNox8 We are getting QoL patches still apparently, but that's coming from them.

Depending on where you stand and your movement, the bots will react accordingly. This should help not shoot them with the shotgun, but there is a chance they will try to face tank the attack for the xenos.

It was sloppy, but we got the W.

Ammo Hoarder helps get to the end, but it won't help with being the last marine alive. There are ways you can make it easier, but I definitely wanted to show it without any buff cards being used.

The hidden caches make a low drumming noise, almost like a refrigerator. If you go back to me finding it, you should be able to hear it.

@@scottzi115 Maybe i don't hear it when I play because I turn the music down to 15%.

@@EviLNox8 It should be you vfx or sound effects that make the noise

@@scottzi115 thanks, the next crate I see, I'll fiddle with the sound settings until I can hear it more clearly. I did notice while playing today that it does have a humming noise but it's subtle and i only noticed the sound because i forced myself to hear it but it just washes out.

@@EviLNox8 Once you know the sound, it's easier to pick out, but yeah messing with sounds will definitely help out.

None of the builds are shown in these, but most are available in a playlist. This is the link for this build specifically. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJC1fKKXpr6redUsi=xjzcvJ01wdnxbCoH

@@scottzi115 Thank you

If you are asking between my two classes shown, then you would probably want more damage as a soft CC focused version is good, but the damage has to come from somewhere and that's where your weapons would matter if you can't rely on your teammates.

I won't lie, playing the game a lot and practice puts in a lot of work. Throw in some build coherency and it makes everything go smoothly, more or less.

Doc is easily my favorite kit in AFE and I am always down to play and co-op. The game is a lot of fun.

Fair, although it's not really possible to adjust in mid mission like that. I could offset it by dropping in game volume though to make it easier.

It would do good if you can chain the CC enough and off set it to control the hordes. Any explosive or AoE weapon can pose a challenge to the ai, but if you have played around them enough then it should be fine.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I think it depends on the mission, but crushers being CC'd is very useful for the bots. It really depends on the playstyle of the individual and the mission tbh.

I know, I'm really bummed about this and it's from recording another video where I have my mic muted. I forgot to unmute it so, I was talking, but like a bozo no one can hear it lmao.

Same as the other comment, here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ_LaKWMhpZki7ssi=XTJFGJkkM5wsYTMK The first Gunner build is the build I was using.

@@scottzi115 thank you

@@phucletran2860 You're welcome

The build is showcased here and easier to send a link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXi0aKCVq7p7rM0si=CKsSGHp9h_3KCf71 It's the second build of the video with the Type 95 Combat Pistol instead of the Grenade Launcher.

@@scottzi115 thank you

@@phucletran2860 You're welcome

I get the first part now, lmao. Honestly, most kits do just fine and compliment the bots since you would essentially just build around having a normal team too. That hopefully will be noticeable in the upcoming videos with the bots. No challenge card that buffs the team is actually required, they just make it easier, which to that I would say play how you want it's PvE and if you are trying it as a newer player, it helps to make you better by getting adjusted to the spike in difficulty. I would just say not to be reliant on them. The best thing I can say though when playing with bots is that having some type of hard CC really does them wonders as they don't try to get away from xenos when they get surrounded. The controller you mention is funny since in all actuality, some of the best players I have ever played with on this game actually use controller. I think it just comes down to practice honestly, but I do know that certain things can prevent that like health conditions or slower reflexes.

AH card?

@@scottzi115 ammo hoarder

@@cheap_clips then no lmao I'd either solo it with no buff card as Doc or switch to another kit.

@@scottzi115 doc is the less damaging class and has pistols and rifles that eat ton of ammo, so it would be fair to double the magazine

@@cheap_clips Doc is meant as a support yes, but building appropriately will mitigate the ammo problems as well as moving quickly and efficiently.

I hope you enjoy it and it was definitely a lot of fun to record. We'll see about the dlc.

The bots got buffed a while back and made it possible to beat it pretty easily depending on the kit you bring. Certain missions definitely require certain kits from what I saw testing them, but most missions can be beaten with any kit on Insane now.

Good information, however, pinned is not taking damage, it is pinned as in can't move or can't leave cover. This is a common term when discussing gameplay that involves shooting or cover. I didn't suggest that you would get toughness back in the midst of combat while using it. What curio were you thinking of? Toughness regen or something along those lines? - BM may be better then some of the other blessings, but that isn't relevant if there isn't an option to put it on a weapon with the current system (unless you roll it that way, otherwise I agree with you on that.) I will say, I didn't mention that so, it is a good idea to bring it up next time as that is a great combo blessing for the overall weapon and build setup. - The health regen is for healing back some damage you may take upon rushing down ranged enemies and gives slight health regen which over the course of a mission actually matters. You don't use it for healing back big hits, it's a sustain regen not heal from the brink kind because if you are using it for that then it isn't great. I've personally been at over 25% health constantly since I'll take slight chip damage and then heal it back keeping me floating around the same number. - Old information then with unyielding as it used to be thought to be tied to enemies and types with certain attacks. A simple edit can fix that for later videos though. - I appreciate the feedback as it helps make a more beneficial video that is more accurate and informative to players and doesn't give wrong information. I know personally that it irritates me if someone is spreading false information.🙂

I just wish it didn't have such a bad rep within the community.

I will say, this game is notoriously bad at descriptions since they say very generic things and then want the player to infer what that means. I know this was a massive issue on release.

@@scottzi115 I agree, there are lots of bad descriptions.

@@OrAngelicBlitz8633 there's a mod on nexus called "Enhanced Descriptions" which adds a bunch of information to the talent tree nodes and what they do as well as providing some of the math if applicable. Very good mod, i highly recommend it if you're tired of Fatsharts ambiguous wording of talents.

@@OrAngelicBlitz8633 You would think Fatshark would update the descriptions to be accurate for build purposes.

I really appreciate this, I need to add them to my description.

So, what you can do is fight on that catwalk and make runs to get ammo when you get low or just fight on the main platform, moving up to engage the warriors and then backing up afterwards. Spitters just require you to move up to them so they can't run away.

There are caps on fire rates and reload speeds, but most weapons can't hit that breakpoint. The biggest thing is that breakpoints are usually used for changes in a weapons performance. An example would be the Scout Rifle which doesn't hit a breakpoint unless you have the perk chain reaction on which gives the bonus damage necessary to kill runners with one hit on headshot.

@@scottzi115 That makes sense. Does a gun hit the breakpoint for runners, in your example. Or another is 2 magazines to kill a Captain breakpoint. My query was looking at granular breakpoints, but you’re saying the ones players pay attention to are gross. A decision to choose a 15% or 20% reload comes down to if you reach a certain breakpoint, like the 2 magazine example. Are there other general breakpoints players also pay attention to, besides that?

@@ErosXCaos Yeah, another breakpoint could be 1 magazine to kill a veteran, not just runners. Otherwise, breakpoints don't play a major role because if the weapon can't one shot, most of the time the increase in damage isn't too noticeable. This is why adding a bunch of weakpoint damage isn't too valuable. Being able to fire more rounds and reload faster makes it better for horde clearing and bursting down captain enemies.

Yeah, these were recorded I think just before the patch came out.

I appreciate it man. It just takes time and luck tbh

lmao, the clutch was good though

Yeah, this game is an absolute gem and all the goofiness and corniness with it is what makes it better.
