Because ballistic dmg over time makes total sense on a bladed melee weapon Bugthesda. 🤦‍♀

[@tangy830]

It’s bleeding lol

[@nocturnechanson]

The Head Hunter Scythe looks great with the Cryptid Hunter PA skin from last season. 😃

[@paulbyrne6062]

the damage jump on a kill, maybe the game is calculating an extra stack of adrenaline, and taking it back away if you are already at 6 stacks

[@AngryTurtle]

that's a good theory

[@pz7510]

yeah I think this is how it refreshes stack duration, it just applies a new stack which kills the older stack and you have two for the time it takes to kill the old stack

[@paulbyrne6062]

@@AngryTurtle If it only happens with adrenaline equipped, I'd call it true, I'll try reproduce and test if I remember.

[@chris5942]

I just crafted one of these and took it for a spin with my Thorn body armor. What a BEAST!!!! My favorite weapon of this season, hands down. I just wish they would not place the blade right across the center of my view in first person.

[@lucast7092]

Same, I feel like guns point way to the left in first person as well and it makes me feel insane

[@sirdigbychickencaesar71]

The only real thing that can help that is to increase your FOV in setting. its a cheap dirty fix but I do the same with autoaxe as that thing makes it hard to see enemy's that are shorter then waist hight, ie dogs mole rats and so on.

[@hallowzone4681]

@@sirdigbychickencaesar71 You should be increasing your FOV to about maximum regardless lol. It’s not a “cheap dirty fix”, it just provides more visibility

[@sirdigbychickencaesar71]

@@hallowzone4681 yeah but too much POV is ugly looks like your in a time warp

[@OriginCorey]

Whats weird is i thought they used to distinguish between bleed and ballastic dot, it used to be if it was bleed damage it would have a little blood drop next to it with the per second rating and ballistic was the reticle symbol i thought.

[@Silas-Inservio-Pax]

No thats poison damage, but very understandable misunderstanding!

[@OriginCorey]

@@Silas-Inservio-Pax ahhhh i see

[@Vocu]

human damage was so stupid, maybe at least do instigating or executioner instead of a mob type :( maybe executioner woulda been more in theme with the grim reaper style

[@Justanobody8472]

Executioner would be nice so that the bleed can finish them off. Even if they "fix" the weapon it could work in a way that makes sense

[@tommyq374]

Executioner is useless compared to aristocrats if you always have caps (I always do, therefore get the bonus the entire time not just when they are on low health)

[@Binidj]

@@tommyq374 yes but _thematically_ Executioner would be better. Maybe not a god roll but thematically on point and not utterly pointless.

[@moongoalie2410]

Ya, any one type damage really reduces the utility of the weapon. I guess it will be good in expeditions where you find more human enemies.

[@joshuakim5240]

Either that or at least make it Cursed so that even with Assassin's, it's still getting a nice boost vs everything else.

[@MicahGoldstein]

I've always thought the pickaxe should have an anti-armor effect until you mod it to an ax blade ("sharp"). It would be funny if that's actually what's happening. I don't think so, but it would be funny.

[@joshuakim5240]

Another interesting thing to note is that anything that just adds generic melee damage increasing effects or perks also increases the bleed, which includes Slugger, Adrenal reaction, Bloody Mess, Fury, foods like you mentioned, and even the Super Chem Mk1. The scythe synergizes surprisingly well with the Super Chem Mk1 for a free 30% more bleed on demand alongside Thorn armor.

[@pz7510]

it probably applies a fresh stack of adrenaline that terminates the original stack of adrenaline and very briefly you have two stacks

[@synapse7772]

I thought you cant drop items with the Atom symbol

[@EvoTorrance]

Correct. Apparently the weapon also cannot be turned in to a Legendary Machine for scrip. 🙁

[@AngryTurtle]

you're right, so fresh vault dwellers will need to craft it themselves 😐

[@Icecube88]

can you still build atom symbol stuff in someone else's camp?

[@bluexatruch]

@@Icecube88yeah but it makes no difference the location where you build it (why would it?)

[@lunarhexagon8108]

​@@Icecube88 as long you learn plans, you can craft any item in any proper workbench, including ones randomly in world or in 'crafting hubs'

[@unculturedweeb4240]

They bleed oil and hydraulic fluid. Just wish it were anti armor swing speed 1 strength.

[@dagripper77]

Turtle, you have to review the V63 Shock Baton. It appears to do less damage with the electrified mod. The ONLY available mod!

[@Binidj]

Seriously? Oh FFS!

[@RattikusMaximus]

The strange damage jump is from Adrenalin. When you kill an enemy it creates a new adrenaline buff that replaces the old buff. But for half second both buffs exist together before the old one disappears, which causes a brief damage boost. You can see it for yourself if open the buff page and watch the Adrenaline buff when something dies. A second damage bonus will pop up to the right of the normal damage bonus and then immediately disappears.

[@mackenziemoore5088]

Wait, has Turtle mentioned the Red Upper and Overly Generous combo before? This is the first im ever hearing of that. o:

[@DaddadxGaming]

the issue you saw with the damage at the end might be a coding bug, I think the effect of Adrenaline was being added before checking the condition of how much the maximum damage can be added was checked. therefore after the check was made that the maximum damage Adrenaline was already reached any further damage added by the skill after that is being redacted. cant explain it well but i hope you got the gist of it

[@nsimmonds]

Pronunciation was perfect, that's a tough word

[@richardbellwald3956]

Have you tried the 2hd V63 melee weapon? It tested it just for fun in West Tek while I was wearing my Cremator dot loadout. It one hits every lvl 100 super mutant even legendaries.

[@nerdoutreachprogram5358]

Thanks for keeping up the good work on this game Turtle.

[@lawrenceberg5408]

Thank you for posting this. A different YTr had a very different impression. Like you say, key is the build and use of melee buff food.

[@klumze9911]

The damage uptick could be adrenaline or adrenal reaction since you were taking damage sometimes.

[@spitefulangel4790]

😡🐢 Thank you for the information… although I find it hard to play as a mele build with a bunch of heavy gunners; by the time I run to the enemy it’s dead, lol… I will stick as a heavy gunner for events and have fun with this scythe doing daily/weekly tasks😊

[@XAfroWarriorX]

This weapon is nuts. Im only lvl 188 with deathclaw steak and glowing meat and I'm clearing rooms of fodder way faster than with my gauntlet even with full health. Tankier enemies I switch over to Zweihander after getting the bleed proc. Melee eating good

[@michelecastellotti9172]

One question tho: in both upgraded and not upgraded it shows the ballistic damage on the console version, so...

[@lunarhexagon8108]

It will ve however probably fixed/reworked soon anyway, I guess, but if that would stay as that, I would probably start to use that instead of autoaxe for 'kill by melee only' mutation thing

[@Everfrost9]

Does each hit from the weapon add additional instances of the bleed or does it only refresh the bleed duration?

[@AngryTurtle]

refresh

[@Everfrost9]

@@AngryTurtle Too bad. But it already seems really powerful anyways. lol

[@Vestige429]

Welp first thing I'll do when I log on tomorrow is revert back to standard instead of sharp

Ahh ok, thanks for the heads up

[@spytor]

I would love to see this build perks you have and buffs you are taking to get that damage.

[@swampsect]

Turtle my dude, I can't test so I gotta ask.. I have been maining the Scythe for some time now and I see the patch notes mention how it is now 'changed to bleed' (hasn't it always been bleed unless you use the mod??) and they also want feedback on how it feels. Has it been nerfed? I use it with thorn and having quite a bit of fun.

[@TheBuildMiner210]

Do you know wether or not the bleed stacks?

[@taylorgibson4343]

whats making the explosions when you hit things?, if its a legendary perk card which 1?

[@rick_oshea]

He's using Hack & Slash legendary perk card.

[@illusion-]

So whats happening is the big bleed will apply on the second swing. For some reason the mod bleed applies first swing Then second swing weapon bleed. Try it on a tougher enemy

[@XooCATSooX]

Can you try this weapon + thorn + grenadier + biggest aoe grenades only? In your old video, i noticed that the Dot damage carries over in the grenade.. so.. im thinking.. yeet and forget grenades away.. Since in your levelup vids, an instigating weapon carries over to the grenade damage. Also -Ricochet also procs bleed? -Sneak doubles bleed proc?

[@AngryTurtle]

weapon prefix carry over not the dot

[@XooCATSooX]

@@AngryTurtle i have read in reddit that some mods also in weapons affect grenades.. such as suppressor making the grenade silent.

[@number11369]

Ricochet doesn't seem to proc bleed damage with this one

[@IvanGarcia-xy7bf]

Assassin's on weapons isn't that bad they help me clean up house in the casino Expeditions, imo i think if you want to Lv up faster it's probably better to run those instead of bugging them Wes tek super mutants , plus you get script and legendary weapons and and stamps and not to mention the odds of getting plans and All the loot along the way 😎

[@VaultWeasel]

Did you factor in Twisted Muscle Mutation?

[@JStrength]

I need to know about the other new two handed weapon! Is it better then the War Glaive!? Thanks for this video though lol

[@chuckcookus]

Can you equip and rotate 3 or 4 for stacked DoT?

[@stefani.5737]

Interesting hypothesis.

[@Kevlin0069]

If that's how you can stack Endangerol with syringers, and stack fire dots with Cremators, then stacking bleeds by through three Scythes should also be possible, right?

[@johnfoley74]

@@Kevlin0069 fyi you can't stack Endangerol any more. Not saying the Scythe won't stack, it might IDK.

nice i got to try that radiation damage/red uper, i just assumed bots, super mutants an scorched (in the case of ghouls get healed by it) were immune to it.

[@TheHipHopBrothers]

Does the talons mutation affect the head hunter scythes bleed?

[@AngryTurtle]

no

[@ChosenChalice420]

If you get a sprint in while attacking you hit harder

[@tylers7475]

Sweet. Reminds me of my first scythe build in darks souls 1

[@Slosten]

I've noticed the Lost seem especially weak to the bleed DOT. I'm running a full health build, no melee buffs from food, only Incisor and Martial Artist for melee perks, and level 100 Lost die instantly after one hit from a Head Hunter. Considering how tanky they are against everything else, it's become my new go-to weapon for that region of the map. I never thought to upgrade it at a workbench after claiming it and crafting one, but now I'm very glad I didn't after watching this.

[@shadowrush001]

i think Lost count towards humans as they aren't exactly scorched nor ghouls.

[@Slosten]

@shadowrush001 Yeah, but other humans (Blood Eagles, Cultists, etc) on average take two or three swings for me to kill. I'm not exaggerating when I say Lost die *instantly* after one swing. It reminds me of the Cremator against certain enemies, where you can pinpoint the moment the DOT kicks in because it kills them immediately. Edit: I should mention I've only tried it in private servers so far, so it might not be as effective in public servers, as is the case with other DOT sources.

[@AliG-ky7zd]

Electro mines or grenades also oneshot them, if i am not mistaken. They also drop quite a few of those, which is pretty handy.

[@RadicalQuadMachine]

If I take the upgrade off of my current headhunter will it change back to normal?

[@AngryTurtle]

you will need to craft a new one

[@RadicalQuadMachine]

@@AngryTurtle ok no problem, knowing bethesda I figured it would permanently screw with the one I have. They should really change the sharp upgrade to bleed damage, this weapon has so much potential yet they just messed it up so bad. It's still a good weapon though.

[@cestlavie1892]

holy crap, thanks for this, fixing my scythe now youre a legend

[@williammoore1030]

What a dumb stipulation. They seem to not be able to get out of there own way a lot of the time. They way over think damage on weapons for a game that’s 99.9 percent PVE.

[@Rorschach1998]

Can't hurt the mutant's feefees 😂.

[@dalama1161]

And at the same time they don't think enough about it. Like how pistols just absolutely blow for bringing to bosses or events because of where their main bonus damage perks are at in SPECIAL builds.

[@williammoore1030]

@@dalama1161not sure they will ever make pistols a viable boss weapon. It would need a base damage of like 500, and crits of like 2500 to compete with the dps on a rail or fixer. I crit every other shot and as low health clear over 1k per crit and those happen multiple times per second. Shotguns and pistols and non auto rifles and honestly most other weapons can’t compete with that right now.

How do you mess up changing damage over time type like this for a melee weapon? Also adding a scythe that has specifically is modded for humans meanwhile all the new mobs are a copy scorched and robots

[@stetsonscott8209]

Not copy scorched. Detection and movement are different, as well as stats. The main similarity is that they are changed humans with barely-lucid chatter.

[@shadowrush001]

Lost count towards humans (you can tell based from speech) so that may be why the scythe does human damage.

[@Jashua-]

@stetsonscott8209 I dont know why you're going out of your way to defend them, but the lost are literally reskinned scorch with different stats. I don't know what you mean by "movement," but they behave and almost act exactly like them
