Watch episode 1 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joqnY6WNba2Fjck Sorry this took a while, homies. Was busy with IRL stuff. Plenty of episodes to come because you absolute units have requested some pretty interesting ones. Keep em comin!

Myth: Laying prone on a grenade will reduce the blast radius and will protect your teammates.

[@thegibbehhh9430]

We already know that. It works for all explosives, too, including IEDs/C4s and rockets.

[@MGE-Gibs]

So next time I get RPGd I’ll simply counter it with a Molotov. *noted*

[@sac_YT]

Gonna need that in ya next highlight reel.

[@Peglegswansoon]

That's wild about the .50cal tracers. The number of times I've survived being spammed though the wall by them when it really looked like I shouldn't have makes more sense now. I wonder if it's desync causing the issue? So on the server only a small number of the bullets are going through the wall, or maybe some are being deflected at weird angles. But client-side the bullets are all passing through with no deflection, so you see the tracers and bullet impacts appear for every shot? Also kinda weird that the fake-bullets still seem to cause suppression, but maybe that is just handled client-side too.

[@sac_YT]

Yeah that's a good point. It seems very inconsistent too. Kinda weird.

[@Peglegswansoon]

@@sac_YT Perhaps it would be worth sending the clip to NWI via support ticket! Idk how much traction it would get given they are focused on console launch issues but who knows. If the problem really is desync it might be as simple as the penetration properties for the MG bullets are mis-matched between the server and client builds. Which would hopefully be a very easy fix, just change a few values!

[@MY-us1ip]

@@Peglegswansoon this is very useful information. I will test it on console next time an enemy team goes ape shit with the MG. I have died to the MG bullets inside the building, will test and see if its also farther away or only close to the wall.

[@Yackattack22]

Myth: what do enemies actually hear? Reloads, crouching, selector switch, switching weapons, switching to equipment, putting on gas mask, ADS

[@thegibbehhh9430]

no, yes, no?, no, no, no, yes

[@Chevalier_knight]

They also hear learning and its pretty load too I can hear it like 50m with my headset if won a lot of firefight because of it.

[@Govrin.]

No to everything

[@thegibbehhh9430]

@@Govrin. Mmm not quite. You can hear enemy movement, including crouching, leaning, going prone, moving while prone, as well as ADS-ing. It's quiet, but it IS audible.

[@thegibbehhh9430]

@@Chevalier_knight What headset do you have? I can barely hear footsteps from 10m.

[@aacc4954]

Myth: is prone jumping (hitting the prone key in a jump) better than crouch jumping for reaching higher altitudes

[@ironleeFPS]

Myth: This video was too short. *MYTH CONFIRMED*

[@sac_YT]

Trying to keep these short so they're easy to watch 🤝

[@ironleeFPS]

@@sac_YT Not everyone is a Gen Z with a short attention span these days👍🏻

[@lockthepope]

The Truck penetration is really weird. I feel like it may be a bug that's gone unnoticed for a long time, as as far as I can tell, the tracer usually accurately portray the projectiles trajectory and speed, while in this clip it seems like the bullets drop massively instantly after leaving penetrable objects. Also, thanks for showing me that the boxes inside that container are for some reason impenetrable, I've had so many awkward firefights were we were both just desperately trying to wallbang each other through them.

[@sac_YT]

Yeah it seems very inconsistent too, which is weird. Maybe I'll test that again but more thoroughly to see what's actually going on. Oh dude, I've had the same awkward fights haha.

[@connorbutters8479]

those insurgent engineers made an airtight truck, toyota should hire them to make a submersible pickup

[@duskshel8119]

Myth suggestion: If you load an AKM with one in the chamber and a drum mag, your character will yell if you mag dump.

[@aaronludloff8387]

Myth: A unexploded 30 mm granade can bounce of a player and kill the person who shoot the granade

[@FDNY101202]

It's 40mm.

[@aaronludloff8387]

@@FDNY101202 guess that another thing someone could test

[@andreivaldez2929]

Myth: Pee is stored in the balls 🤔

[@sac_YT]

Basically biology, dude.

[@TactiGamer]

That LMG thing. Super weird…great vid as always dude!

[@matnar0285]

Yeah that 50cal needs fixed lol

[@Primslim101]

I was so scared of those tracer rounds for nothing!!

[@masturas621]

Myth: Can you pull off collaterals, if so how many people can you collat and with what gun?

[@famouscivilcone6254]

I’ve gotten a triple collateral on Bots with the M24 sniper before. i also wonder how many kill you could get with the 1 bullet

[@admiralobvious]

Should probably go a step further on the weapon penetration tests. See if the lower caliber guns, or even the anti material rifles have this same weird thing with penetration.

[@robinrai4973]

Myth: Like being able to speed up your ADS time from sprint by crouching, if you use toggle sprint you can simply press the toggle sprint button in the same way the crouch button to do the same.

[@thetrashypistachi4162]

I think the gas mask blocks it if the flash dets in the shrouded area (or are looking away from it), though a flashbang is always effective if you glue your eyes to it

[@Alex-cg8fi]

The gas with truck part, try driving through the gas without the mask, i once got killed instantly (i was in a back seat) because of it, but im not sure what happend in ur video. Maybe because the the truck isnt moving?

[@sac_YT]

I'll try that for ya, sure 🤝

[@thelegooperator5556]

Can the A-10 be shot down? Ive looked up voicelines of this game of warlock being shot down similar to the helicopters being shot down, so Ive been wondering if its possible, ive also heard similar stories about the bomber drones

[@kordell8057]

myth: armor in this game does protect you

[@Mr74c71c4l]

One thing I've noticed about this game on console at least is bullet registration some count and some don't. I also believe the heavy machine gun cuts though anything. Like way better then the mounted 50.

[@ethanthomas1148]

I think the have since fixed the machine gun wall penetration!

[@chillsn]

Underrated series

[@KyleWithAnM69]

That scene at the end was totally different on my screen 🤣

[@raxxum]

I really Dig your channel. Great editing work and interesting content. extremely underrated . we all have our time though. keep up the great work 👍

[@Zetz762x39]

Myth: grenade launcher can take out a helicopter

[@nomnommoon1001]

Its not a myth you can do it if have god aim. I think even karmakut did it once Edit: its MGE Gibs not karmakut

[@thatsavyman3183]

about time i watch this one yeah good vid as always

[@metor0132]

It´s pretty weird that even inside a building and getting chemical motored, for example, Crossing A site, you still cough but no damage taken. This almost happens every round in every map. Motor only hurts you WHEN YOU DIRECTLY EXPOSED, and cough isn´t a must.(You´ll still caough anyway tho)

[@MAJOR_PICKLE]

Good Stuff Mate!👍

[@LinusIslamTips]

Myth: does the groin have a separate hitbox? If yes, what's the damage model there? Or is it part of the torsos hitbox?

[@jared2213]

Can a grenade kill you when you are in the truck? (maybe try it wearing different body armor? Or what about molotov and thermite?) I'm not sure cuz sometimes I get killed but sometimes I dont....Weird.

[@evilspoon88]

I wanna know what sounds a character makes when he's hurt vs when he's dying/dead

[@carn109]

Melee myths: different weapons have different ranges, armour affects the damage, Knife has the fastest attack or higher damage?

[@butteredbiscuits1]

maybe the 50 cal tracers are like that to make you feel way more threatened by the giant machine gun shooting at you? the tracers were suppressing your character even by the bags

[@vewyscawymonsta]

Was that a Tomographic I heard there?

[@jimmiesrustled1359]

Goldeneye music gives me hope

[@sac_YT]

I probably use it too much at this point haha

[@jimmiesrustled1359]

@@sac_YT no such thing. I love it

Is it true you can shoot down a chopper by hitting the tail rotor with the 50.cal sniper rifle? Cheers

[@MrImpala444]

can you dive on top of a grenade to save your teammates?

Hi! Can you make video about optimal graphic settings? What are your PC specs?
