Grounded Ranged ONLY Challenge

[@blablabla7796]

Now that you did this video, it seems like the last weapon/armour challenge left is a hammer only run (maces and clubs not included). Would be a nightmare. Good luck my dude.

[@Lunaraia]

For those who think Staves are weak... Try to fully charge them, uncharged shots are pretty underwhelming but fully charged are just ridiculous, regardless of which stave you use. Although the Spicy one being a bouncy ball that can also hurt you, is a bit of a pain.

[@paraly5er]

Sure but charged shots come with the risk of being unable to block for that entire duration

[@rever01]

Yeah the sheer damage of the spicy staff and sour is worth, unless I'm doing challenges I use them mainly. Fresh isn't as good but it has less windup at the cost of no uncharged attack and it's still the best fresh weapon IMO

[@kianlangthorne7238]

But I recommend especially if your using spicy to use uncharged shots if a strong enemy is too close to you but at range is where the spicy and sour staves excel because the spicy staff at full power does similar damage as a full three hit combo with a coaltana on the broodmother and with the brood mother start charging as she's descending about half way down

[@jimmyrodriguez5670]

1. You only used the sprig bow (worst weapon in the game), then skipped the insect and bard bow because you judged them based on the sprig bow. I was bummed by this. 2. I was so confused about you bombing the grubs. I didn't understand the rule that you couldn't dig them up and then shoot them. 3. The orb weaver kill should count, but props on you for including it. This was so much fun to watch. I've been watching the replays of your streams every day since you were doing this challenge. Keep up the great work! You've easily become one of my favorite content creators.

[@CryDeathwing]

1. he skipped Insect bow because he didnt get enough fangs and it wasnt worth the time to fight a second wolf spider, didnt you hear that it took over 8 minutes? 2. duh its obvious digging them out deals like 60% of their hp as melee shovel damage 3. i disagree the game is extremly buggy killing you randomly, why should something 1000000% out of your control count? given i'm playing coop but i would have 3 deaths from fall damage alone from the game deciding to fling me 600-700 cm into the air (glad daredevil exists as i never use tufts)

Sorry if I'm just showing my ignorance but I have a question. If you were playing on normal difficulty how could use the Handy Gnat, right around 25:17, to build anything? I thought we could only use Handy Gnat in custom games? If we can use it in normal games please tell me how so I can too. It's always locked out for me.

[@paraly5er]

I made the world as custom to change 2 things. 1) disabling faction reactivity as I didn't want my base raided. 2) Enabling the handy gnat as it just makes life easier and should be unlockable anyway.

[@CSSC_Eagles_prodz]

I mean I’ve seen a person kill the ibm with a shovel so, it’s possible

[@TyyVii]

The staves are insanely good, you shoot one and switch to the bow. You shoot one and block. Switch to the staff. And just do it again and again. Everything gets cooked with that combo

[@paraly5er]

Yeah but just too much of a delay to switching or blocking after using the staff

[@Dalton_Krier]

Do you think you could make a video on defense and resistance for armour? im not sure what the difference is.

[@paraly5er]

Resistance/Armor weight (Light, medium and heavy) determines 2 things. The resistance and stamina usage of the armor. Heavier armor means you have a higher resistance but use more stamina per swing. The defence itself is a secondary metric that only impacts the damage you take. Defence is affected by upgrades such as sleek or bulky and thus can be increased.

[@Dalton_Krier]

@Paraly5er ok thank you!

[@RamJamDee]

The water gives the inf brood a life steal effect. This heals the inf brood both when it hits the player but also when the player BLOCKS. The only way to stop it from healing is to PARRY

The one thing I hated about the devs is the cos rant nerfs to amazing gear. This isn’t a pvp game where balancing is improtant. It’s mostly a single player game where you can invite your friends and kill bugs. Also isn’t that the point of the plus modes? Making the bugs stronger each time to make your op gear?

[@biggiecheese2004]

The devs don’t nerf amazing gear, they hit builds that are literally gamebreaking. Surely you don’t think the summon build that oneshot the mantis was healthy? What’s the point of making an enemy with attack patterns if you can oneshot it

Case in point, broodmother armor is still cracked

Would the bows ability to attack more quickly work better with elemental arrows? I can't really find information on it, so I'm not certain. Are elemental arrows flat damage? Or are they scaled up by the weapon damage?
