My kingdom for a plastic bag to carry my ketchup and batteries

[@fledglingbodhisatva4821]

My kingdom IS a plastic bag with ketchup and batteries in it.

[@drewinsur7321]

My kingdom for a crackhead charriot (african child soldier)

[@PaulSeoulOLD]

There's no other game where plastic bags are epic loot

[@DautFromX]

they're not, they are very common and quickly deteriorate

[@zwenkwiel816]

Maybe you cant put the pebbles in the shopping cart because they'll fall through the holes. Would be some next level inventory simulation though

[@kasonr.3624]

That's basically it. Some vehicles have a certain parameter that says you can't put small, loose items in them. The travois is another example. Vehicles that are fully enclosed, like sleds and box carts, have no such restrictions.

[@zwenkwiel816]

@@kasonr.3624 or you could just put them in a bag and put the bag in the shopping cart, just like you would IRL, MIND BLOWN! (I dno why but I kind of get off on little shit like this in games XD)

[@Shenaldrac]

@@zwenkwiel816 You can do that, yes. But you do need to manually put the rocks into the bag, then put the bag into the cart. Like you would IRL.

[@VladislavDerbenev]

@@Shenaldrac no, I can put stuff on top of bag instead of putting inside irl

[@Sip_Dhit]

@@zwenkwiel816 that's exactly what you have to do tho, it's what's expected seeing as you can put small things in bottles, maybe making assumptions about something when you don't have all the info isnt useful, mind blown (if you have trouble maybe you should take a step back and really look, does the game actually miss that feature, or is it the fault of the person playing, we all love AA but he's a falable link in the chain, and him not realizing you can do something doesn't mean a game lacks that function, it just means he is still learning

[@Auctorian]

"Is it safe to sleep outside of Detroit?" Maybe in the video game, wouldn't suggest it in real life.

[@veraducks]

You can get a lot more money from electronics if you first power them on and check them. If they're not locked, you can look at the files. That's what those black spaces in their inventory are. Most of them are just text files and photos for flavor text, sometimes you'll find a few dollars from nice photos and whatnot. But you can also find people's bank info and whatnot. Nothing like turning on a laptop and finding a $5,264.24 bank code in it. Also, seagull wings are the *worst* item at the canteen. For $8 they give 3% food *and* have a 25% chance of giving you gastroenteritis. The mixed veggie bowl with protein gives 10% food for $7. Even the tenders are better. Same food gain, but half the price and no chance of disease.

[@iceempoleon5471]

"I don't want to cover my shopping cart in crap" *2 minutes later* "YKNOW WHAT I'LL EVEN PICK UP THIS STRING" Great stuff man, keep it up.

Thank you for not cutting out that abomination of an intro

[@masterzoroark6664]

Also As ranged player- it's complete oposite of what you stated about your traits You die, a lot, at the start of ranged playthrough, but once you get your hands on a bow, even a sling, then the strings of fate are pulled in your favour

[@dtly50]

Yep. Actually the character he choose is what I would consider a "flawed" character. He has no win condition so he will always be struggling and be forced to avoid fights. In contrast the win condition of a ranged charater is to craft a sling meet on an open plain and keep walking backwards and fire a suppressive barrage whenever the enemy leaves cover. If you are athletic as well then congratulations will win every fight you see. Even against dogmen. Loading 60 pebbles that can constantly recycled is no joke. Just make sure to use rocks to finish the job once the dogman is properly battered and bruised.

[@Dremons7]

@@dtly50 with ranged and trapping there's no one that can stop ya. Make a broad spear and a greenwood bow, then 5 crude broadheads. If you start combat in difficult terrain, you have more opportunities to trigger Lure move (very crippling), open field combat makes it easier to hit with the bow. If they get close the broad spear is very deadly Pro tip is to wait for them to charge and become vulnerable. Almost guaranteed hit

[@cbass7283]

True I'm rocking a green bow and I almost never miss, looking for a compound though

[@hardkur]

shiv + string + stick = super spear

[@OneFluffyKiriko]

Requires melee skill though.

Advice: take nearsighted as a penalty. You can cure it with money at DMC.

[@theycallmedoorway9913]

and you can counteract the effects by using binoculars/scopes/monoculars

[@mattparker9726]

22:23 it's the pieces of paper next to the bag with the little 2 on it. they will give you recipes. SHIFT CLICK separates the stack. ALSO TWO BACKPACKS FAR OUTWEIGH TWO SPEARS. (cause you can only use one at a time anyway.) "reading" the papers, all you have to do is put them in your inventory.

[@wizardtree9284]

Florida is getting the underwater DLC soon isn't it .

[@jonathandickey1]

As a Michigan resident this game is hilarious because you're just like "Yup that's Detroit."

[@BumbleDoom]

Sodium is an easily accessible electrolyte and useful for replenishment when youre exhausted and lack other tastier electrolytes, like potassium or sugar

[@mattparker9726]

In infinite runescape mode, your biggest problem is the shops physical inventory space. Spears aren't a bad Idea though, because you can simply rent a vehicle to sleep in outside the city walls for 20 bucks, and be ok. You should always keep at least a little food and water with you to keep your stats high, or you get ill, and or weary, etc. ALSO THE SOUP IS $4 at the Last Chance! It does both hunger AND thirst. (actually that might be a mod.) Dang it Mighty Mini Mod!

[@edwardlewsey3954]

"Buy low, sell high my friends"... he said as he put in the $2 first aid kit and left the $20 cargo shorts! Lol, please play this again!! Fun series

[@whostoleaceius]

I love that AA played the game for like 4 hours and did not learn that the big sticks don't burn, but must be broken into smaller sticks first

[@mrpieceofwork]

Literally drinking a grape soda as AA says "drink a grape soda". This is next level immersion.

Ps You can find essentially Indian native village in about middle or so of the map. And "A man ate wild berries, this is what happened to his playthrough"

[@fapyfuchs]

Hey you, I've only recently discovered your channels and both are a pleasure in their own way. Your main provides the essence, the best bits tailored to please my taste buds, while needing some focus in return, whereas your vods are for my relaxed times when my mind can wander. You mentioned Deus Ex whiche I love, since it is the game in which I realized that I understood English, also thanks to it. So I'd watch that, but to be honest, most other things, too. I enjoy your works, they're very pleasant to absorb, thank you.

[@johnybegood9614]

Another NEO-Phibian VOD :O *gasps*

[@ericf112]

Buy high, sell low is really the stonks message

[@marcpuzon]

Your playthrough made me buy this game for myself, it's just so addicting

[@itsNep_]

I've never played NEO Scavenger and I probably won't, but god damn I enjoy watching you play it! I love your VOD channel since I'm usually not able to catch livestreams

[@Dremons7]

Also you can close the multitool to save space, it gets very cost effective to carry and sell

[@SkillZgetKillZ]

Yes, 12 gauge shotgun receivers can accept .50 BMG but, only *some* are a -good- not terrible* idea. Cheaper models, aluminum receivers etc. tend to detonate Or if they don't detonate the bullet doesn't get the power from the overly wide smooth bore so the bullet might feel like a paintball that breaks skin (not speaking from experience the bullet would probably hurt worse than that DO NOT TRY A PAIN TEST AT HOME! or do I can't stop you)

[@heliveruscalion9124]

i would also suggest not firing a 12 gauge shell out of a .50 AE handgun, for a similar reason

[@shadefangkweep]

they _can_ detonate, but the vast majority won't because of your second point. A 12 gauge's bore is considerably wider than a .50 cal, it's just the case head that's the same size. .50 cal is, as the name would imply, 0.5 inches across, while 12 gauge is about 0.73 inches. Still not safe to be on the business end of the barrel though, even blanks can have enough power to cause serious injury. In any case it's a bad idea and won't really provide useful results (if you want your shotgun to work as a hunting rifle, use slugs)

[@haroldbalzac6336]

The barrel can not be sealed so the .50 will just plop out of the barrel when fired. Just comparing a 12 gauge shell with a .50 should tell you everything.

[@thomasrial4444]

[@theinstitute1324]

One of my all time fav things about this game is you can eat poison and much like real life it isn't visibly apparent that you've eaten poison until the game has made it abundantly clear that you're dying from poison.

[@johns9164]

AA I had no idea you made a part 2 until searching for neo scavenger! Wasn't recommended

[@mrpieceofwork]

"inventory system where you can just kinda... you could do stuff like this... Oh... wait a minute. That's not what I meant to do. Shit..." lmao

[@kattankarl]

i need more Neo scavenger content 😭😭

[@MrClean-ep7uc]

I haven’t played this game since literally 2015(downloaded after watching the second today lol) but i remember not selling the bottles and filling them with sterilized water first

[@MrClean-ep7uc]

Also I think opening the first aid kit can be better since there maybe valuable medication in smaller form?

[@tenzan_kuroki]

NEO was one of my first favorites in the apocalypse genre. Then PZ then Kenshi 😂🤣

[@OneFluffyKiriko]

[@wiggiag]

[@Dremons7]

With less zombies and more melonheads

[@ruorivanbalen9638]

can you fill your backpack first and then put it in your cart "saving" room?

[@OneFluffyKiriko]

I dont think you can do that (i tried and it didnt work) but i rember doing that with a duffle bag

[@Dremons7]

You can, its an optimal strategy to put containers inside the cart to get more space

[@randomotaku5500]

I don’t really get the thirst of that because I usually just drink a huge amount of water especially during the summer, because I drink it for the cold sensation. Chugging water and being refreshed when you’re finished with it. Water is awesome

[@ToadTheFox]

Finally a game where I can be myself and eat ketchup packets by the handful. Ketchup feeds the soul. Also this is the game where there are Walmart cults worshiping plastic bags

[@starlight4649]

I see you have a shoe on! Therefore your life is forfeit!

[@mortalitydoesstuff8965]

"a shotgun could be a hunting rifle if you replaced the shotgun shell with a .50 BMG" I saw a video about a month ago of some guy sticking 2 of those in the barrels of a sawed off double barrel and it worked, so maybe there's some validity to that

[@zezesan7645]

[@unowho4439]

Yo if you unequip your bags, and sled/vehicle and leave it on the ground it wont consume health even if you fill it to the brim, this lil trick saved me from headaches on storage space early on till the end cuz storage is everything on this game

[@gears132]

I looked it up and you CAN actually shoot a 50 BMG with a shotgun....

[@makapaka_madafaka_]

@@gears132 yeah. 50 cal is similar size to 12 gauge (circumference). But pressures are EXTREMELY DIFFERENT example? Try shooting Blackout out of 5.56 gun. I dare you. Gun would have definitely exploded and shred your face with schrapnel. But if someone is dumb enough to actually do it and hold it to their face. I consider this to be a good thing. I think people dont really realize how powerful the 50 really is.

[@gears132]

@@makapaka_madafaka_ I watched a video of someone shooting 50s out of a sawed off, I don't think you could hold the gun because of the force, the gun looked okay though, it was just that the cartridge kinda exploded.

[@makapaka_madafaka_]

@@gears132 i mean... Yeah. Recoil would be pretty... bigger. I dont know I once saw a guy shoot a 50. out of a pump and a gun went frag grenade. The guy shooting it was fine. And by fine I mean alive. So in conclusion. Dont shoot ammo from guns that are not built to shoot it.
