Are Rhinos OP?

[@TheWhiteDragon3]

Fun Fact: The Rhino's armor is so effective, that there's an outdated meta from the human playerbase of crafting their own armor from the loot of defeated Rhinos. This tactic was especially common in the Han faction until more easily obtainable harvestable drops were discovered.

[@NotFlappy12]

I feel like the griefing done by human players in the poachers clan should have been mentioned in this video. Without that, putting rhinos in D tier is unwarrented. Rhinos being vulnerable to intimidation is not nearly enough of a weakness to justify their placement, as being scared off does little to negatively impact their playthrough, as they are herbivores. In fact, it prevents them from taking even more unnecessary risks than they already do.

[@addanametocontinue]

Agreed. In comparison to human players, all animals are pretty dumb. Sure, rhinos are dumb, but compared to other animals, not so much as to justify putting them in D tier. Despite all their weaknesses, rhinos are still hard to go up against.

I feel D tier is a bit harsh. While they definitely have their weaknesses, the fact that they are almost untouchable in the Africa and Asia servers(hard mode) is extremely impressive. The only bad matchups they have are humans and elephants, which could honestly be said for pretty much every species. I think high "C" or low "B" tier would be a more fair placement.

[@TulipanJones]

I’d argue for a solid middle C. If you play as a rhino, you ain’t gonna have a good time, but you ain’t gonna have a bad time; you’ll be easily spooked but you also prolly won’t die. Middle of the road feels fair to me

I’m a little mixed on this one. On one hand, I agree completely that rhino weaknesses are easily exploitable, and that friendly fire is a huge issue with their strategy. However, having a one sided fight against lions, and holding their own against elephants, hippos, and crocodiles has to be worth something.

[@checker297]

imo it should be even lower, the fact it has extremely low intelligence means it will always be competing for food and its young are extremely vulnerable even if its extremely hard to kill an adult. It also means it cant effectively group up as a team. This isnt helped by the fact it reproduces slowly. It seems like a build which is optimised around either making it to be either an alpha male or bust, or female and accept massive childbirth risk for life. Just is not ever going to be viable, similar to how pandas are dying out because they just dont wanna bang.

[@breloommaster12]

The rhino's bad eyesight and low intelligence often offsets the advantages that its tanky build would have otherwise brought: - You're so bulky that you should be able to win fights and control territory right? Well too bad, you're so blind that you fail to recognize your surroundings to the point where you attack trees and rocks, or you lose resolve too easily in otherwise favourable interactions and get chased off. - You're so tanky that you should have little trouble with escort missions right? Nope, your poor eyesight and intelligence means you cannot party up with other players to ease your burden, it means you cannot effectively control a defensive zone around yourself, and worst of all, it means you are so easily baited away from the escort or even get baited into teamkilling it yourself.

[@Undomaranel]

You're really only judging combat when you're using OoC hacks. Try a run-through without a second screen, and without using your previous run-through experience, and rhinos will not give you a fun game even half the time.

Rhinos aren't even mid tier, and that's without including the lack of a rear attack option.

Let us not forget that their horn can actually puncture a female during mating. I learned that in the zoo. By the zookeeper. It happened before. So before they put the 2 together for some chunky loving, then they had to reduce the length of his horn. Else she might suffer death. That is also a very very bad weakness, death by snu snu.

"Betrayal" sound effect

[@alexanderpayne4652]

words cannot express how much I love the use of the eyewitness video theme. my childhood

[@rizzlla]

What did we do to deserve tierzoo and casual geographic on the same day ❤️

[@keneor4468]

Hey Tier Zoo, long time subscriber over here, thanks again for the amazing content. I wanted to comment because I really liked your energy this episode, I don't know if it's just me but it seems you went for a way more fast paced and emotion packed narration, making the video a bunch more engaging! Thanks again for your work, take care.

[@ThePadwan]

There is so much effort that goes into these. it really is amazing. Me and my friends will passionately argue about this type of thing. Then we'll watch these videos and think we're idiots. Oh shit didn't think of that. Genius, no body does this like you

[@chilldogs1881]

6:36 Rhinos be like: What throat, who said a neck was needed

[@mudassirshaikh8662]

They be having their mouth connected straight to their stomach 😂😂

[@soudino2723]

you know its a truly magnificent day when tier zoo uploads

[@jonothanthrace1530]

8:45 I suspect that, even with their insane bite strength, a croc would have very little chance against a rhino due to the size difference; maybe one could latch onto a leg, but what would it do then? Even in a situation where the rhino was somehow entirely submerged in water, I doubt the croc would be able to perform a death roll due to lack of leverage.

[@alexv3357]

MY DUDE I HEARD IT TOOO!!!!!

[@vencedore1000]

Bro no way that elephant painted itself at 7:22

[@mudassirshaikh8662]

Nah, they do get quite artistic sometimes 😂

Elephants are capable of painting with their trunk, however, most of the tests and showcases that you see in videos or zafaris are because the people make money and they demand and train the animals to do that. It is sad but at the same time it shows that elephants have the dexterity to do it.

[@alienbroccoli8296]

Hey TierZoo, a fantastic tutorial guide as always! I have a suggestion to make- The axolotl. I had seen a few videos on them a few years ago and they absolutely blew my mind.

[@GeneralLuigiTBC]

I've yet to play on the Africa server myself, let alone as a build that interacts with oxpeckers, but I could have sworn I'd heard about having oxpeckers on you being a mixed blessing--or even a problem. While they can certainly serve as a lookout, I've heard claims that oxpecker players tend to prioritize eating engorged ticks (i.e. ticks that have already done as much damage as possible to their hosts) in order to maximize the experience they gain from each tick they eat. I've even heard some claims that oxpecker players will peck at open wounds on their "perches," slowing the rate at which they recover from said wounds.

[@Toast7419]

Would like to see a video about if hyenas OP. even though he explained it in the underrated video, i would like to see a more indepth video about the traits, advantages, disadvantages, and where they place in the meta currently

[@teddyhaines6613]

He's been on a tear of African mammal videos lately and the hyena has kind of lingered over the proceedings the whole time. Definitely seems like a thing to discuss sooner rather than later.

[@FelidaeEnjoyer]

They're quite a good build, especially with pack hunting. The only unfortunate thing is most hyena players are incels, and blood hunt other creatures. EG, munch crunching on DEEZ NU-

[@peterbaillif4607]

8:54 has me dying, I didn’t know elephants could throw objects at their opps like that

[@jaybberwocky]

This video just randomly popped up on my feed, and I have to say, I LOVE the style you went with. Talking about an animal like it's a character build in a game is the perfect way to present a nature video XD Also makes me think of all the ridiculous "Best build" videos that people make as if it's the only way to play.

[@devilsblade2543]

Have you explored the rest of TierZoo's channel? They have made a lot of "Are (build) OP?", and for anyone serious about The Outside, its definitely worth checking out

[@shadowbonbon3]

The game, outside incase you didn’t know is pretty good I do think human build is a little op however there intelligence stat is so op it can buff all there other stats

[@andweng24]

The issue is, some of the content mentioned in this video are proven to be untrue or flat out misinformation Examples: - Rhinos are not as blind as assumed, they have an average of 200m range of vision and are on par with cat vision, while being better than a rabbit's. 200m vision range is also alot better than a majority of humans today (which wear spectacles). - Low intelligence is not proven at all, and the rhino has been doing fine for millions of years charging at things to make sure they don't get near it. Predators distracting animals to get at their babies is a common strategy used against elephants, wildebeest, deer, antelopes, etc. - Rhinos are not "exceptionally suited" to cold climates, the wooly rhino is the same size as an average white rhino and it did not encounter any short-faced bears. This can be easily googled or read from Wikipedia, but TZ still got it wrong. - The Ice Age was also not more dangerous than modern day, most of the Ice Age animals are an extension of modern Africa's animals but with more biodiversity. - Rhinos didn't evolve into Paraceratherium, Paraceratherium comes from a way earlier diverging branch called Rhinocerotoidea. Early ancestors of Paraceratherium resemble horses superficially more than resembling today's rhinos. This is not a good outlook when you have a large viewerbase and can easily affect scicomm, when information easily found on Wikipedia is also gotten wrong.

[@Yearofthebows24]

Can we get a video grading various companion animals in the game? Not just pets that humans keep, but other animals that keep smaller animals to help survive (the spider that keeps frogs to help kill bugs that eats their eggs comes to mind)

[@veggiedragon1000]

This video already exists. It is called best team strats or something like that.

[@nikagogibedashvili6476]

Just visited local zoo today. Out local Rhino is the one me and my kid always look forward to seeing the most. No matter the season and the weather, rhino is always chill, there is something very comforting in observing him.

[@bignelly9476]

Whist I agree that they are a bit lower on the tier list just 2 quick things and that we’re worth mentioning. Rhinos have an excellent sense of both hearing and smell, with evidence to suggest that can can distinguish between others of there own kind and other predator species. While not enough to set off bad eyesight and low intelligence I do believe it mitigates that disadvantage somewhat. This along with the fact that there only bad matchup is with the largest land animal in the game and humans makes me believe rhinos at least deserve high C tier. Overall great video, very informative and entertaining. Good job my friend

[@Yungteasipppppa]

You know it’s a good year when tierzoo uploads twice

[@steellegacy555]

Why am I just now finding this channel… this is pure gold lmfao I love it ❤

[@Healthy_Giant]

Great video. It's crazy to think about what the Rhino class could do if they got a buff to int.

[@thekoboldintheattic8587]

Ngl, rhinos should probably dump their stealth in favor of intelligence, I mean, why hide when you can essentially be a bulldozer that smart enough to not get baited

[@blahthebiste7924]

Do rhino's even have any stealth investment?@@thekoboldintheattic8587

[@donghoang8942]

They would become hippos with horns.

[@KnotXaklyRite]

I’d love to see a combat tier list if like all animals had the same intellegence

[@iCarus_A]

Id imagine that even then, what intelligence level you set for everyone would still affect their performance

[@pharaohsmagician8329]

Play Ark Survival Evolved

[@hyperturbotechnomike]

I think it depends on the amount of intelligence. Too intelligent, they might all just blast with laser beams at each other. Too dumb and they will just all randomly trample and stumble over each other until the heaviest has won.

[@jiaweiye9489]

@@hyperturbotechnomikenot really as humans were able to advance so far up the tech tree because of their social, opposable thumbs, and intelligence.

[@nfs2seturkish988]

That time rhino would be almost unbeatable.

[@PremiumUserUltra]

Your content and editing is top notch.

[@michaelchen2718]

7:55 question: does ANY BUILD have a chance against the elephant? Thanks!

[@haywirellamma370]

Raptors had a good advantage against early elephant builds but they were phased out after the asteroid update so… wolves?

[@Poja_0811]

Humans... with the advanced crafting skill they can make spears with metal tips and with even more advanced crafting they can make rifles and shoot the elefant from very far away

[@Megagirus2000]

Possibly carcaradontasaurus

Holy cow, that rhino deleting the baby rhino to the tune of “Ahhhhh! Betrayal” from Halo had me dying laughing 🤣

[@gabrielgermann9148]

Nice stats comparison. One of my favorite so far. Thanks!

[@ГрецкийОлег-щ3г]

Guys, please, support the official petition for TierZoo to make a tier list of parasite insects! Ticks, mentioned in this video, are absolutely fascinating, it's a whole shadow meta that influences more conventional, "sizable" builds immensely!

[@shuruff904]

Assassin Bug for the win

[@user-jr9dv4pe5c]

Long time fan here, happy to see a new video. I’d really love to see a detailed monkey tier list (Old and New World monkeys) or a hymenopteran tier list.

You made this video so much fun to watch

[@storyspren]

Those clips of elephants tossing things to spook rhinos are hilarious, especially the one at 8:54 it looks so premeditated on the part of the elephants, and the one that threw the rock looks like it's paying real close attention to whether it needs to throw another one :D

[@Zesprio-823]

Glad you mentioned the armoured skin. It's effective enough to be a prized shield making material throughout India and East Africa. Would you believe, by the way, that Paleoloxodon, a prehistoric elephant, may have outweighed Paraceratherium? As ever, fun video, great content.
