Every AMP in The Outlast Trials

[@shalupon3124]

It's not just tier list, but a showcasing of all skills. It's very useful to see how amps works and all their advantages and flaws. Thank you!

[@marcus9388]

finally a worthwhile (and comprehensive) guide about those

[@BiggotoryFactory]

"leave trial" amp is pretty strong

[@Bluriate]

best amp fr

[@weepyllama]

I love this video sm it feels like I'm actually asking a friend for advice on all the amps

[@Bluriate]

Thanks! This is a very nice comment I appreciate it 😄

[@IkonikYuh]

This video is perfection, it serves as a tierlist and a showcase for all amps 😀

[@Jan.co_]

Editting is ON POINT.

[@Bluriate]

☺ I tried locking in with this video as the first video of 2025 !

[@Geccola]

I just got the game and this was super useful!!

[@Bluriate]

Glad it helped !

[@DonPollo55]

Keep up the vids man I just started watching you and I honestly enjoy the content

[@Bluriate]

I appreciate it!

[@tuckerw7371]

Backpack in C-tier as a solo player is criminal imo. That amp is the only one I refuse to take off lol.

[@Bluriate]

Lock Breaker lets you spam stuns (what I use), any difficulty below psychosurgery you get 4 inv slots (3 if psychosurgery), most objectives dont rely on needing to use inventory slots (besides hearts) and usually if I really need an item I will familiarise its location, only time I can see backpack would be good is if its limited inventory 2 on one of the heart trials (so escalation only) that was my though process for putting it at C

[@tuckerw7371]

@Bluriate The QOL of backpack has corrupted my brain too much I feel naked without it. Good tierlist and video, and I agree with it all but I just love my backpack too much lol

[@disksjack6618]

You underestimated short circuit and hide and restore. The combination of these 2 amps = no cooldown. You need to equip both short circuit and hide and restore.

[@Bluriate]

Yup I know, I had made a short trying to showcase that I was wrong and that Hide n Restore with Short Circuit is amazing and I do mention it as part of the synergies/loadout part of the video !

[@disksjack6618]

@@Bluriate oh sorry, I did not watch the whole video when I made this comment.

[@Bluriate]

@@disksjack6618 Its okay! Dont worry, I also pinned a comment on the specific shoet circuit video about these 2 as well, but I appreciate pointing out still 😊

[@OpticHamster69]

I switch between noise reduction and short circuit

[@itsssbtimes2387]

With Cacophony, bricks are NOT infinite bottles. In Outlast trials, Bottles have a side effect called "hyperfocus" (explain by Kotzwurst) which means that enemies will ignore all other noises when they go to investigate. That effect is extremely powerful but Bricks with Cacophony don't share this effect.

[@Bluriate]

is this effect on bottles exclusively with cacophony? I havent payed much attention to bottles doing that (without it anyway as i dont use cacophony) seems like they'll hear me no matter what

[@itsssbtimes2387]

⁠​⁠@@Bluriate well, this effect is applied to bottles without cacophony and begins when the ennemi start to move for investigation : D I tested for bricks with cacophony but this effect is only present for bottles unfortunately !

[@tinybeann6310]

Hyperfocus can also be triggered by bashing doors or broken glass. Not exclusive to bottles but brick are to quiet for this

[@denish2221]

I am a Korean. This channel is helping a lot, bro

[@Bluriate]

Happy to hear that!

[@denish2221]

@Bluriate Thank you

[@MilkCalf]

What I find annoying about Hide and Heal is that from the sound of it it will gove you a bigger heal early on when you might not be in trouble but say you are like really late into the trial and out of healing items, you might just die

[@augustwilson9633]

Lately I’ve had a lot of fun with jammer and lock breaker+strong arm. Together they let me stock up on throwables so I’m not completely defenseless

[@Bluriate]

Lockbreaker to get your jammer rig back? or you playing in coop with this loadout 🤔

[@Hill-BillyBoy]

I think they should buff Strong Arm by making the bricks overturn the Prime Assets, BUT for a very short moment. And they should fix Evasive Maneuver, because as of right now it can trap you inside of the double lockers permanently.

[@Bluriate]

Strong arm I feel is fine in the current state as a buff to it would almost make it just as powerful as a stun, and yeah there’s quite a lot of fixing they need to do with all these bugs

[@Reyashmenya]

Noise reduction also muffle your jump sound... Like when you jump through the obstacle, it will make only 1 bar of sound

[@Bluriate]

For real? Last Time I used Noise Reduction I think I remember jumping and jumping through things making a lot of noise so I didn't look into jumps as part of this video as that isn't even a part of the description 😭

[@Reyashmenya]

​@@Bluriate Well, yeah, the description for some amps is kinda strange and not write all what the amp do

[@Bluriate]

Yeah the descriptions on the Amps suck wish it could be more detailed for us 😒

[@lurk3rcz]

Good vid, keep it up!

[@frightfuel4485]

Nice video and Happy New Year!

[@Bluriate]

Appreciate it and happy new year!

[@PleasantLeech]

Invisible can be amazing if you're quick enough. I once got cornered by gooseberry and hit her with a brick and jumped in a barrel right in front of her and she couldn't find me. So any thrown object will "blind" enemies with invisible. Stun works a lot longer of course. Without invisible stun will not hide you from enemies at all if there's line of sight or they're close enough. With invisible you're safe no matter how close an enemy is as long as they're in a stunned state. At least with my personal testing it's very consistent, I did it a lot during toxic shock.

[@Bluriate]

@@PleasantLeech For me I’ve always had a different experience with invisible as the animation to hide takes a second or 2 causing the enemy to go after me no matter what, If you are using stun in order to hide then you may as well do the objective rather than going to hide, Invisible only climbs some tiers on Toxic Shock/Winter Kills due to event relying heavily on hiding, You must have some perfect time with bricks for gooseberry to allow you to hide with just a brick (when in line of sight of her) is impressive but then again I haven’t touched Invisible much but am talking from the odd time I have

[@PleasantLeech]

@Bluriate well I think it was only the one time someone was right next to me hiding. It was in the toy factory map on the second floor in that little room where you grab the C box. She broke the door right as toxic shock started and I bricked her and hid within about a second or so. She did stumble back out the door but there was still line of sight so I'm not sure that matters or not. I really only use it during those events, but I do think it's stronger than people think. Maybe I'll have to do some testing, but I feel like you have at least a second or two as long as you get a head shot. Body shots don't really stun long enough, and it doesn't really work with the big enemies at all. Might have some good synergy with strong arm perhaps if that let's you actually get the large people to stop and shake their heads. From what I've seen it'll only work if you get the animation where they cover their face.

[@DannysBalls]

1:12 "Bricks and Balls"

[@Jora_Mahoev1]

Very cool!

[@therightattachment574]

Idk bout y’all but slippers. Hide and restore. And I forgot the one perk with you have 1hp is my go to. Especially for higher difficulty

[@Bluriate]

Last chance is the 1hp one, imo hide and restore is kinda mid but if it works out for your playstyle then cool

[@wumarNart]

Door trap breaker is A tier for me. My blind ass cannot spot the red marker around the door.

[@styleszachary6196]

Yo i really love the effort in your videos, and i was hoping you could revisit dead by daylight again except this time play as the killer. Your commentary is super enjoyable and funny so its fun watching anything you do

[@Bluriate]

You know what I have had a deep hidden urge to just play dead by daylight on my own time but sure, Maybe I'm more cut out for being a killer

[@styleszachary6196]

@Bluriate Lets go! Thanks for replying, whatever suits your fancy ✊️✊️

You are the best youtuber

Too Kind!

Happy new year guys!

[@SparkyVEVO]

They gotta rework Keymaster to where you spawn in with a master key. Do this Red Barrels and i will start maining X-Ray. Also not gonna lie,Strong Arm is so overrated against Witnesses. In the end you still need 2 bricks so you can achieve the same outcome as 2 bricks without strong arm. Remote>Throw>Wait cooldown and throw broken brick again> Remote >Throw second brick>Wait for cooldown to be done and throw the 2nd broken brick>Last Remote to kill Witness. In the end the same result as strong arm. Strong arm mostly just delays the Task completion because if the Witness is crawling around they will not explode,they only explode when standing up. Basically in the end strong arm is more of a disadvantage

[@Bluriate]

Hmm I find it validating with how much easier the witnesses are to do with strong arm but yeah without it can be better if you can pull it off consistently

[@Shadow-Morgana]

It'd be great if they added more skills for the pharmacist like Tier 4 skils

[@SKODENSTOODIS]

I use recycle with strong arm and boosted. Along with the stun rig. Because I like to distract. And I always find health bottles everywhere. Especially if I spawn with a health boost. Cacophony is good for setting up with the blind rig imo. Wouldn’t pair it with strong arm though. But that’s just me. Keep up the good work

[@Bluriate]

Thats a unique combo but I dig it

[@BeowulfBelmont]

They should be a Amp that allows you to knock out enemy's ( choke hold ) Of course there get back up after sum time

[@Bluriate]

Evasive Maneuver is kinda what this is, chokeholding a giant doesn't seem like a good idea 😅

[@Xbox_Summer_rats]

I love your videos, and I love your strategies when playing the game. I was wondering if I could play with you.

[@gameby41]

Heres my personal ranking for each amps and which are truly good and bad from S-F teir (this is for like base game, endruance mode, this also depends on the build/playstyle tho) S TIER: smash, last chance, backpack. A TIER: boosted, noise reduction, strong-arm, key master, lock breaker, short circuit, hide and restore. B TIER: evasive maneuver, invisible, surplus, C TIER: double dose, recycle, incogito, banage expert D TIER: self revive, hide and heal, door trap breaker, quick escape, good job, F TIER: slippers, cacophony, battery chager, hide and breathe, antitoxen, For different builds idea and combo, (if i can freely chose what amps i want and paired together. "Sneaky thief" noise reduction, key master, backpack with the X-ray rig "Pure medic" double dose, bandage expert, antitoxen. With healing rig "Electric genius" door trap breaker, short circuit, hide and restore with jammer rig "rageful fighter" cacophony, strongarm, smash with stun rig. "Escape artis" evasive manuver, quick escape, lock breaker, with barricade rig

[@Jãoclaro2008]

In the synergy part I thought you were going to tell us whats the best amps for each rig

[@Bluriate]

Good amps will work well with every rig but I could have 🤔 when I got to the part of synergies It was getting late so I kinda rushed it to have the video be released as of Jan 1, which is why I didnt think of that at the time, Maybe I do this when I decide to do a rig style video like this one

Happy new year

So for the door trap breaker when you bash do you still get to open,the door?

[@Bluriate]

yeah itll just destroy the trap

[@devyn612]

Okay ty

[@slaiman0276]

I don't remember if you recorded a video like this, but would you like to try to go into escalation with the interface completely turned off, along with random teammates? The most interesting thing is that you don't see any teammates who have fallen or died. I apologize in advance for my English if you find mistakes in this comment =(

[@Bluriate]

@@slaiman0276 Your comments fine I understand it! I havent went into escalation hudless but ill give it some thought for sure 🤔 thanks

[@jacobthatguy8001]

As a new player enamored with the game, (got it 3 days ago and already have completed a 10 level escalation) I find it kind of discouraging to see the immense disparity in the skills. There are clearly some with such powerful abilities, and some with niche and semi useful ones at best. I might play around with different builds and setups, but i do wish there was some balancing involved. Ive spoken with seasoned players of the game, and when asked they replied that the game receives few and far between updates. Theyve just released a 2025 roadmap and I dont see anything talking about touching up the skills. Its disheartening to think that the game likely wont recieve the qol changes that i believe would keep people engaged for a long time to come. I guess we'll have to see.

[@Bluriate]

Yeah a lot of these underwhelming AMPs have been the way they are for a long time so I doubt they'll get touched, the next 3 months will be rough but when the Updates come, its usually a lot of fun and a good time

[@CapoFisk]

Why do you say some V sounds correct and some as a W? Like, if it was every V it would make sense but it’s not.

[@Bluriate]

@@CapoFisk Just Habit, Everywhere I talk English but with family I talk Latvian, so sometimes I will mess up on my V's

[@magnificmango336]

Boosted better be top tier or I’ll dislike.

[@Bluriate]

Its up there but not the top, getting battery booster or health booster feels upsetting at times 😢

[@devyn612]

So I guess slippers is kinda nerfed😅

[@devyn612]

But kinda

[@rehfeuge]

29:55 You say bandage expert is B-tier, but the tier list you show us has it in C-Tier at 30:20

[@Bluriate]

First Impressions then a Final Tier List after experiencing them all, Wanted the tier lists to be more even as you go from S to F too

[@ProgrammedForFailure]

“Just use an adrenaline stick” WHAT IF I DONT HAVE ONE. With limited items mod this isn’t uncommon

[@Bluriate]

Escalation is a different story for a few of these but NOT for Hide and Breathe (Thats the main one I remember saying that for) Just gotta be smart with your stamina consumption so you dont put yourself in a bad situation

[@ProgrammedForFailure]

@ I agree with being smart about it, but the perk opens up some crazy Hail Mary runs. And Idk if you’ve ever just finished a chase and unluckily ended it in front of a bad guy. I’m level 30 so maybe my opinion will change later, but offensive hide and breathe exists just fyi

[@Bluriate]

@@ProgrammedForFailure Yeah Theres been instances where you end up running into an enemy but I find the animation to go hide and hop out takes too long leading the enemy to wait right outside until youve hopped out to get a cheap hit on you, I'd like this amp but I have had a lot of bad cases with just hiding in general which makes me ignore this AMP
