【 A+ Gameplay 】(Solo) - Courthouse - Vindicate the Guilty || The Outlast Trials

Awesome New Halloween Update 🤩. Playing chill but very excited about it 😊. I had to play the trial a couple of times until I learned the new stuff and could get an A+

[@Arbuzbenb]

how I love this game, it seems like a small company, but they make progressive games

[@fexgamedev]

I feel the same way about the game 😊

[@clownfromclowntown]

This was a great run! Also really cool to see the new trial. As always red barrel really knocked it out of the part with the environmental storytelling, I just love how much lore and detail you can get out of the dialogue and set design.

[@fexgamedev]

Hey thank you 😊 And yeah you're right about the environmental storytelling, they do it stupendously well and it ends up being a very immersive experience 🖤

[@DinoMeat-qw4lg]

New map woohoo

[@fexgamedev]

Hooray 🥳

[@Dashiawia]

Nice A+ run as always, my dude. :) I’m still learning the map and have only managed an A on this one. It feels a lot longer than the previous 3 trials, probably because I don’t have the layout of the map down to a T yet.

[@fexgamedev]

Thank you as always 🤗 Dashiawia Yeah the trial felt longer to me as well, and many people said the same. But I'm thinking that maybe it's because we're very used to the old trials and we finish them in a flash, and now we get a new one and it's normal to spend some time getting used to the new stuff, the map and the objetives. About the map, if you're in the Discord, there's a dude there who always makes charts of the maps and he already shared the first floor of the courthouse, that might help you 😬, he will probably finish the second floor soon. And from my side I'm already working on a website with interactive maps for all trials and MK challenges, but it's still a work in progress, I can't tell how much longer it's gonna take yet. But the charts of this dude are excellent and they have a lot of info :3 Thanks for commenting 🖤

[@Dashiawia]

@@fexgamedev That sounds awesome! I'll check it out later if I continue to struggle with getting an A+ on the Program 4 trial. I've only played each of the Program 4 trials/MK challenges once, and so far my grades are A, A-, A, A-, and C (from top to bottom). I had some trouble with the new Blind rig deploy time in the Exam; what used to take 2 seconds to deploy now takes 4 seconds, making it more difficult to use on pursuing enemies. I think with this nerf, the Blind has to be used more strategically from now on, as you can no longer use it on the fly to stun an enemy right on your tail. You'd have to place it down when the enemy doesn't see you in their line of sight. Honestly, I find this to be a good change, all things considered, as it makes the Blind less OP and gives players the incentive to use the Stun as an alternative rig. I'm sure you already know this, but they amped the Stun's stun duration time as well, and I also noticed that it recharges a bit faster than before. Looking forward to that website of yours! All the best man. Cheers.

[@fexgamedev]

@@Dashiawia Hey those are some awesome grades for a first time 👀. I had to play this one a couple of times before the A+. I couldn't agree more about the Blind Rig, now it feels a lot more strategical and it incentivates the use of Stun, and I'm really digging it. I didn't know about the changes on Stun, I suspected they would do it but I couldn't see all the changes in general yet lol, I was too immersed and focused on the new maps and leveling up 😁. That's awesome, I have to update the comparison with Strong Arm then. And I've also seen that they buffed the Hide and Heal amp, now it's a lot better and at least worth considering. They're really polishing up the game 💪 Thanks, I hope I can release it relatively soon. All the best to you too :3

[@Dashiawia]

@@fexgamedev Thanks! It helped that I had the Blind rig to bail me out of getting hit too many times on the easier difficulties. On the highest difficulty, though, I made the mistake of drawing Coyle and two grunts' attention during that final escape segment, which led to me going down once. Yeah, the reduced cooldown time for the Stun is particularly noticeable. Now it takes roughly around the same time as the Heal to recharge fully. For the Blind, they also reduced the cooldown time I think, not that it needed it lol. Even with the nerf, I'd say the Blind is still the best rig overall, but it's definitely closer now between it and the Heal, with the Stun a few notches below. I'd personally like the X-Ray to get a slight buff to make it more utilized among the player base. Perhaps something like a short stun when you ping an enemy, and the ability to reveal the general location of the objective, would make it more useful on the hardest levels. Because right now, its only major advantage over the other rigs is that it has the shortest cooldown time and can be spammed multiple times in a trial for an easy A+. I'm curious about the comparison with Strong Arm on a grunt too. Think the Strong Arm & Brick combo still stuns for longer, but let me know if I'm wrong. :) Nice. I've never used Hide and Heal personally, but getting an extra bar of health just for going into a hiding spot is pretty neat.

[@fexgamedev]

@@Dashiawia omg you really experimented a lot with the rig updates :3, that's some really interesting info, I'm still trying them, now I'm playing with Stun to see how different it feels, tbh I felt that the cooldown was longer now lol, but I might be crazy, I'm just starting to use it again, and then I'll try the other two. I'm gonna do the comparisons in video later and check everything. But right now you sure know more than me regarding that topic lol, you are quite ready to make your own videos and teach me 😁

[@orangestar5552]

You are Really good playing at this.

[@fexgamedev]

Thank you so freaking much, that's very nice 😊

[@PhuongHuyen-oc1qu]

[@CursedMoistMan690]

I found a Co-op only exploit for this trial, for evidence one player can lure coil to lobby and upstairs, then constantly loop him, then evidence is literally free

[@fexgamedev]

That's a very useful strat 😊 And also very convenient for other trials in general :3 Driving the enemies away to clean up the path for the teammates to be able to complete the objectives :)

I’ve noticed you fast close doors behind you when you’re crouched! How do you do that 👀

[@fexgamedev]

Hi 😊. I'm sorry for the late response. I guess I have to assume that you already know how to fast-close doors behind you while , and I guess that's the reason why you ask about the crouched version :3 Having said that, it's pretty simple but there are two ways: if you press the crouch button at the same time you perform the normal technique, it'll work, but it has the disavantage that you'll end up standing up at the end and you'll make noise. The method that I use, which is safer as you can always be crouched, is using the button: I toggle crouch first, then I press shift+forward to do the technique (this will make the character switch to the "standing" state), and within the time-window where my character is moving forward (and standing up) I quickly press toggle crouch again to force the character to crouch again before standing up. If you do this quickly enough, it'll look like you never stand up, and that's what you see me doing in the video :3 I hope that helps 😊

[@augustwilson9633]

@@fexgamedev thank you!! I’m going to try it in game right now

[@nathan9814]

Hey I realise this comment is a bit late, but how do you close the door behind you without doing a full animation?

[@fexgamedev]

Hi. Don't worry, anyone can ask anything about any of my gameplays anytime. In fact it's a good thing that you ask this because I've answered this before in the comments, but as new updates came out the technique has changed quite a bit. I guess you refer to closing door behind you while always crouched: First, it's worth noticing that I have my key bindings changed, I swaped the toggle-crouch and hold-crouch buttons, that means that when I press Ctrl I do a toggle-crouch and when I press the letter C I do a hold-crouch. That being said, the trick is the following: 1) Press Ctrl (toggle-crouch) in front of the open door (you need to see the prompt that says "close") 2) Press Shift+C+W and after those 3 ARE PRESSED quickly press click (if you happen to press click before the other 3, you'll end up closing the door in front of you) 3) At this point, you should be seeing an animation of you crossing the door crouched, but the technique is not over, because if you leave it like that your character will stand up at the end. So: 4) Before the animation ends, press Ctrl again, that way your character will never stand up. If your timing is good, you'll see the same result as in the video. Good luck

[@nathan9814]

@@fexgamedev nice thanks dude

[@ripaether8887]

how did the door trap at 2:09 not hit you?

[@fexgamedev]

Hi. There are three ways to avoid getting hit by the door traps: 1) opening the door while crouching (what I did there). This will trigger the trap and you won't be able to take it. 2) opening the door slowly (by holding the mouse button while moving forward). This will not trigger the trap, you can then dissarm it. 3) disarming the trap (but first you have to be in the correct side for that)

[@ysmmac6015]

@@fexgamedevbest way is crouching, unless ur desperate for a battery you could always disarm

[@fexgamedev]

@@ysmmac6015 Yeah I agree, I can't remember the last time I performed a slow-opening 😅 And most of the few times I did, it was by mistake lol. But it depends on the person I guess

[@ysmmac6015]

@@fexgamedev yea i know my friend opens it slowly i always thought it was odd cause you can just crouch to open even if you’re getting chased

[@fexgamedev]

@@ysmmac6015 lol now I imagined what it'd be like to open it slowly while being chased💀

[@ismaelgingles9409]

What four items should I use in this map 🤔

[@fexgamedev]

By "four items", you mean amps + rig? 🤔. If so, the only amp that I think is a must-have in this trial is Strong Arm because it allows you to do something I didn't do in this video, which is stunning the scapegoat after giving him the electric shock, so it gives you enough time to wait for the cooldown and give another electric shock without letting the scapegoat go away, and you can repeat the process over and over until you kill him in one go, the reason to use Strong Arm instead of Stun Rig is that you're not allowed to use the rig when the scapegoat is upstairs. As for the rig, I would say that Blind and Stun are the most powerful, Coyle used to be highly resistant to the stun effect but since the last patch he's not anymore so I guess you can run Stun here with no problems, it depends on your style, Blind will allow you to complete the objectives more easily but you'll need to plan a bit more, Stun let's you be more reactive, if you're not experienced in the game I'd say go Stun. 🙂

🥲 Don't give up. Try to level up with easier maps so you get better upgrades for this one 💪Also remember to find and take the respawn pills so you can respawn many times without failing the trial 👀 With patience you'll make it :3
