The Power of Stealth - 7 Days to Die 1.0 (Ep.3)

[@Triad_Orion]

I dig the night vision choice, over the flashlight. In a stealth build the flashlight gives away your position too easily, and the Nightvision preserves it, and even with grayscale I can see things fine in the video. Beyond that, a better bow will make this build sing. Either a bow or a crossbow works, though I'm fonder of the crossbow.

[@fedeu2084]

I love how you can manage to play 7 days to die and the very next day post videos edited like this, there are a lot of 7dtd youtubers, but they dont have your editing style which makes it 1000x times better, keep up the good work, love you man

[@xiayu9451]

he has an editor

[@fedeu2084]

@@xiayu9451 i thought about that, but we can agree, that he is doing an amazing job and i hope he is getting paid appropirately

[@Gextgecko]

Fun fact: Its called "Marvin's Getaway" because there are steps out front of the cabin with a corpse that had fallen down them in a wheelchair. In other words, wheelchair-bound Marvin was trying to get away. Love the dark humor in this game lmao

[@bannankev]

20:40 For the bows after making them you gotta put an arrow, similar to the arrow already in your previous bow and compare values. It will never show correct if you don’t load the arrow into the bow. Stupid? Yup. Fun pimp style lmaoooo 💜

[@Blitzcreeper239]

The damage value shown includes the damage contributed by the arrow type(and bullet type also), not as stupid as most things tbh

[@12Beastn]

I love the fact that he likely has thousands of hours into this game and doesn't realize that lol! It's something I'd expect from JaWoodle... GNS should know better!

[@Blitzcreeper239]

@@12Beastn People forget things, especially content creators who usually have some focus taken out of a regular good player's headspace into making their gameplay more entertaining. I've seen my fair share of youtubers who have ten times my experience in a game and they still make mistakes that I can spot, such is life

[@iradiatedrat]

mods also increase the damage stat on tools and weapons regardless of what they do. Even a torch or semi auto trigger will increase the base damage so that's why the knife and bow didn't look as good as the same or higher level versions

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Ahhh thank you I forgot about that 😅

[@rb2530]

Love the Night Vision. Everything is bright and clear

[@ejsvegas5724]

Yes, way better than the old green color.

[@cdubb1011]

11:22 had me lol. Great content, bro! Much appreciated

[@Jasenspeed401]

The night vision goggles are absolutely brilliant. Please keep using them. And again, we’re off to another great new series. Three episodes in and I’m having a lot of fun watching. Keep up the great work, and can’t wait for the next episode.

[@Daz1187]

Honestly, no one makes better 7DTD videos than you. Absolute 🔥every time. Thank you thank you

[@grindtoothmedia120]

I've enjoyed using night vision for stealth play for a while now. It's crazy how much effect the helmet lights have on waking up the zombies, especially in higher tier POIs.

[@kebsonnn3]

Literally sitting on KZbin searching for something to watch then this masterpiece pops up as a notification

[@Owlincoup]

Night vision is perfectly fine. I like the added element as you sneak through the POI

[@MortenWill]

Vanguard 1, desert base. Vanguard 2, winter base. That seems fitting.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Now that you mention it, it is pretty fitting huh? We gotta get out there sooner than later and do some scouting

[@jeffrobagman2834]

Whenever we get the bandit update, we'll need Vanguard 3 - Wasteland base!

[@marcellsipter7651]

that soundeffect at 17:00 scared the SHIT! out of me... wasnt expecting that 🤣🤣🤣

[@mayo3242]

9:41 - You need to harvest coffins to have possibility to win precious gems but most of the time you will receive bones and I believe on this same cemetery you should find buried ammunition box.

[@ernie3249]

And what you get does not count towards the challenge for gems/nuggets, so generally not worth the effort vs drops.

[@Paolini_18]

The QuickStack mod is updated for 1.0 in case you'd be interested !

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

Thank you! I'll be diving into the modding scene this weekend!

[@joshmarks6680]

This is by far to date your best series. One thing about your quality 4 bow being "better" than your quality 5 bow, that's comparing the stat of your new (q5) bow with NO arrow equipped, but calculating the damage for the q4 bow with your IRON arrow equipped. So your level 5 bow would have actually been better

[@tlwalker1962]

You are going stealth, stay with the night goggles.

[@Blitzcreeper239]

Exactly, I think it wasn't much of a contest, but Tem was probably considering video quality for content

[@ballsdeep420]

I agree, the goggles are in line with what he's doing and they're pretty cool

[@tlwalker1962]

@@Blitzcreeper239 So true, so maybe he sticks with goggles at night, when he is not encumbered.

[@notazombie...notatall8577]

Yes, any source of flashlight completely ruins your stealth. You should stick with the night vision

[@gravdigr27]

​@notazombie...notatall8577 really? Did they change that? I know a while back I watched a creator testing zombie reactions to stealth with and without a flashlight and there was no difference. Personally I've alm9st tripped over sleeping zombies many times while stealthed with a headlamp on.

[@TheCanadianGuy56]

Man if that zombie broke that chest, the hilarity of knowing it contained the helmet light mod, so close to losing the one thing you were dead set on looting.

[@CreedDiskens13]

Oh boy, 3 episodes in 3 days? You are spoiling us :D

[@notazombie...notatall8577]

I found a legendary parts box in a salvage contry box and in a clothing pile, so keep an eye out for those, also those office chair are a great source of leather, you pick them up and scrap them on the inventory for 6 leather each!

[@FaithOriginalisme]

Legendary parts keep popping up for me at tier 2. I think I have 4 right now

[@whoucuh8218]

I'm sorry, but the inflection in "I almost poo'ed my pants" made me howl. Thanks for that.

[@peter01peterm]

23:09 i like this hidden stealhty night vision bow knife black and white missions.Its like an old movie but with more horror and action.

[@syphon583]

@10:50 I love how excited you are to drink from any water source despite there being a rotting corpse in this one 🤣. Loving the series, Tem!

[@CaptainSoniix]

Thank you for posting so frequently with this series! When i eat dinner youre my choice to watch

[@jliu2003]

27:11, that cape swish gives a helldiver vibe 😁

[@Gochen86]

The night goggles not only work better for stealth, it's also something I don't think you've done for a while, if ever. So my vote is to keep rolling with the night vision. As for Bob, perhaps we'll see more of him once you get the gyrocopter. I can't wait to dive into 1.0 myself and see all the new and updated things.

[@Jay9to535]

The night vision goggles make it a lot creepier lol

[@tonymontana5651]

I love the look of the NVGs now. You can actually tell what you're looking at

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Marvin's Getaway was played similar to how I did things on my last character. I love that feeling of inching the sight lines forward until you see bits of a sleeping zombie ready to be shot by an arrow or bolt. Very ammo efficient too, letting you save ammo for 'oh crap' moments and the horde night.

[@ADHDSW]

I love the new look of the night vision googles and the sneak kill plays!

[@loki3374]

A long time ago I did an agility stealth run. The problem with stealth was two fold. 1. Triggered (i.e.: you cross an invisible line) Zombie ambushes kind of break stealth where as being "invisible" is big part of your armor. 2. If you stealth through an area with an ambush, then on a clear all mission you may be wondering where the last zombies are because of all the ambushes you didn't trigger. However, watching you do this, and I sure hope you go far with it, has given me the urge to give it another go. Also clearing PoIs with stealth was very slow, especially on the T4 and T5 PoIs.

[@coulditreallybeme8847]

I feel like rocking the night vision is awesome. Especially if youre trying to sneak through a poa. That makes it more fun and immersive. You had my full attention when you had the nightvision on.

[@Cqytck]

Feeling like I can count on you whenever I want a video to watch! Your videos are some of the best out there much love man! Keep it up

[@TheCanadianGuy56]

God I miss the old wights, especially stumbling into a feral one early, and just screaming in terror as it sprints towards you, shrugging off any arrows or bullets. The old model was terrifying at night.

[@zombiesandcaffeine]

TY for updating the props pickup. Can’t live without that QoL now.

[@J1mmyF1ngers1]

The ladder trick earned the thumbs up! Thank you!

[@Christina-bl4cv]

I do enjoy the NVG's. It is immersive. The glowing eyes on the ferrals make them much more scary.

[@jeffrobagman2834]

I miss the green a but, but I'm biased as I trained with them in '90.

[@SeigenNerhel]

Great stuff, and the editing is God tier as always! Feels like Christmas in the middle of summer!

[@DevilGun17]

The thing why your lvl 4 bow does more dmg then the lvl 5 is cause of the type of arrow u equipped, normally a new craftet bow has stonearrows and your lvl 4 was equipped with ironarrows, just craft a new lvl 5 and eq with ironarrows to compare them or eq stonearrows on the lvl 4, its the same with every ammo type on every gun, it doesnt show u this as green like mods would do. And also i love your content, keep up the great work u do!!

[@J1mmyF1ngers1]

Nightvision plus a whispered narration works really well :)

[@TheSpiceLord]

39:45- the weird ragdoll on the businessman, it looked like he was trying to do a push-up after the first knife to the head 😅😂

[@enyy]

Never thought about a stealth playthrough, because I am too impatient and can't wait to kill all those zombies, but looking at your awesome gameplay I'll definitely consider stealth for my next playthrough.

[@night23fox]

Took a little patience when I tried but it's a fun build for sure.

[@davinci3259]

While doing a fetch quest in the crypts last night I dug up all the graves for rotten meat and found 2 legendary parts inside the buried caskets. So definitely worth checking stuff you normally wouldn't.

[@meesbiemond3800]

Remember that light greatly reduces your stealth indoors!

I do love the Agility tree - sneaky-sneaky seems to be working great for you so far! I usually go for knives and archery too. Cheers from the middle of Canada! Oh - I love your base builds too, by the way, and you're fine with the night-vision. It fits much better with the stealthy build and I can see everything just fine on KZbin.

[@markdemers375]

I love how he in the third episode is talking about trying to find legendary parts meanwhile Glocks doing his 1.0 apocalypse and he's got three from the pine forest which apparently is very rare that's awesome lol

[@kaize666]

You attacking that zombie you just killed again because you thought it moved again checks out. I doubt anyone in a zombie apocalypse would be all there. Thanks for keeping my immersion, lol.

[@RyllenKriel]

That warehouse zombie was trying to destroy the loot crate to prevent you from getting a helmet flashlight but you got him just in time!

[@GamingAfter50]

I like the new NVG's, they're much better than the old green ones. I like the contrast, things really do appear fairly clear, depth perception is preserved. Good stealth today! You're going to enjoy those exploding bolts. They do more damage than exploding arrows but arrows load quicker.

[@Ileleana]

I really like the night vision it makes everything clearer

[@DougieDeHart]

I just found you and tbh bro some of the best 7 days to die videos I have seen a while! Keep up the series.

[@zacharypilot8256]

Night vision looks so cool. Especially if you play into it by saving it for when you "go dark".

[@ljfuentes7590]

Hi Tem! as always great job! remember that u need to change the arrows on the bow the see the actual upgrade. the rank5 have stone arrows default, and the rank 4 have iron... love your content!!

[@Slingblade2040]

I can see why you are wearing the preacher gloves cause stealth builds require the patience of saint. Also the shouts of joy for that one reward was amazing.

[@Hopkins0316]

I like the night vision quite a bit tbh. Especially when you're trying to be stealthy

[@kanex1]

I love this series already

[@Cosm1c_Donut]

i'm glad im not the only one who struggled with ladders for a while 😆

[@hinatakenpachi6564]

I love my assassin armor set. One poi I decided to say hell with it and test it out. I ran in hit a counter with my knife and woke everything up. Then ran outside turned corner and crouched. They lost track of me but knew they were after something so they started just breaking stuff. I stood up walked in and walked right beside a zombie walking past. I'm like... wtf why you ignoring me? I stabbed her. Rude of her to just ignore me.

[@Zephrym85]

I mentioned how good savage country POI is a couple vids ago. If you need legendary parts that's the place to go. Tons of armor parts and usually 3-6 legendary parts from a single run. Based on my last few at least.

[@Marc_von_Hoffrichter]

Hey thanks Tem. Great stealth job. Cheers mate.

[@jaystan3849]

very impressed with your game play. learned more from your play then most

[@slKnight422]

[@JeansGaming]

I really like these NVGs, some people say they prefer the old green color but I coultnt play look at green like that

[@bobbybelew6721]

Man! The new night vision goggles are SO GOOD!

[@TheMilkDrinkingMan]

Keep the night vision goggles!! It looks great.

[@mikeriley2475]

The Special Operations quest that sends you between traders is based on quest tier completion, i did tiers 1 & 2 with Rekt then went to see Jen who immediately gave me a quest to go find bob (tier 3) I'd dump the flash light and keep the NVGs Then decide later which one you like most When comparing weapons the damage is based on the arrows equipped! If you've got stone arrows equipped on your new weapons, they'll do less damage collectively then the bow with the iron or steel arrows.

[@TheKokies]

i love your edit, u can make a letsplay video in to a story and there has to be a lot of extra work to put in. But everything works perfectly. Keep going on!

[@RyuuProtogen96]

One thing I discovered with this experimental was that when you get to higher levels and invest points into Lucky Looter one of the BEST places to try and find the legendary parts is at the savage country. I want to say the tier 3 savage country, but with four points in Lucky Looter at around level 20 or so I netted 5 legendary parts by looting all the clothing shelves and clothing piles on the floor. XD

[@Deasmonius-deviations]

Just played 1.0 last night, and with the changes. I did struggle a fair bit more than I have in beta 21. And i totally did not get the same kind of luck like Tem here.

[@Anew522]

I like the goggles. It's kinda nice

[@jeffrobagman2834]

For aloe, look for clumps of cactii. I usually find a few. The game seems to spawn that way. Like you'll find a clump of Chrysanthemum / Goldenrod / stones in the pine forest.

[@Flackwall]

loving the fact your trying stealth this time round, interested to see how sneak attack stands up against the buffed zombie hp, oh and for the bows you compared make sure they are both loaded with the same arrow type before you compare them (readout seems to treat the bow and arrow as a whole for dmg). As for the light situation just keep the headlight in the bike for base building, mining ect, after all rng saw fit to reward your patience and she be a fickle mistress.

[@LeverActionLarry]

Great series, I'm binging on it! Just subbed

[@Bubble33333]

The machete got an upgrade this patch!

[@robertartigue5541]

I was wondering that... what did they change?

[@coreyperez8817]

Stealth is fun. I'd suggest rolling with the NVGs instead of the light mod so you can still use the purifier. Or you can put the pocket mod in and just carry the purifier for when you need to hydrate in the field.

[@bobbyjennings1610]

It seems that all quests like meat and resources are to obtained w/ stone or bone tools . very good vid BTW . Prebuilt found this out the hard way.

[@syphon583]

@20:15, as others have said, you have to remember to load the new weapon with the same ammo type as the old weapon. With bows, it defaults to stone arrows, so the damage is going to be way less. Also, as of A21, stats no longer overlap between quality levels, so there should never be a Q5 that does less damage than a Q4 (assuming the same ammo type is selected).

[@rifleman2c997]

Also to add, GNS- The eversor assassin has its own definition of stealth.

[@XBOXGTDSMCR]

Man Glock 9 has found two legendary parts in tier one pois in the pine forest. Kind of ridiculous. I don't think they're that hard to find maybe they are and Glock 9 it's just extremely lucky.

[@waltermcgarvin8001]

Molotov at the end room might have been a good place. Night Vision is good AND it does better for your stealth. The head lamp affects your stealth.
