How *ALL* of the NEW DLC Mechanics Work + Advanced Tips 🩸 Back 4 Blood Tunnels of Terror DLC Guide

[@THDAMAGINGSILVERSTAR]

I like the missions where the people you’re supposed to rescue are all “Help me help me!” and you just ignore them and hop in a tunnel 😂

[@VashOkarun]

Yeah, I have the same problem with those parts of the story, now it feels kinda inconsistent n out of place

[@almirbaxhaku432]

Lol just last night we rescued those people from the apartments in Act I and led them to the tunnel and left them there

[@elo4630]

The hives really mess up the flow of the games. It feels like you're playing maps on shuffle.

Facts

[@benjaminleonard1996]

Pro Tip: When you're leaving the ridden hives, make sure that whoever's holding the totem(s) DOES NOT SWITCH TO ANOTHER WEAPON OR ACCESSORY. I was not thinking straight, my team and I spent 20mins searching for the 3 totems, and at the end my Doc instinct kicked in and I swapped to my medkits to heal someone, which dropped the totems, WHEN THE COUNTDOWN TO LEAVE WAS AT 2 SECONDS... we didn't cash those in because of my mistake... Resist the urge to even throw frags at enemies if you're holding the totem and leaving...

[@Kek93123]

😂😭

[@voodoogames9148]

Yup it's rly easy to forget the totem lol

[@panda.monium]

I had a similar experience but in my case it was drop the skulls and shoot the hocker coming at me (as the sole survivor) or potential team wipe

[@benjaminleonard1996]

@@panda.monium oh yeah, in that case it's totally forgivable. Best not to team wipe in my honest opinion

[@jaysonburke6839]

Also don't try to jump "gaps" when carrying a Skull Totem. If you fall to your death the Totem is destroyed >.>

[@TheLinKuei]

Some Helpful advice. If you find a Hive in a level before you find a Tool room, Keep playing until you Hit the Tool Room first & remove all Trauma, then go back to the Hive and enter

[@rosysoviet]

Armour plates also block fall damage - so think of the cruise level and dropping off the side to get to the C4 placement

[@Kleanup_krew01]

This update/dlc is 🔥🔥

[@god1246]

It’s good but should’ve been free.

[@stevielow9190]

Back 4 blood was massive L , had so much potential. They should’ve added first person point of view for special ridden, new special riddens instead of new variants, and campaign versus mode

[@Terrince_Tate]

@@stevielow9190 Have to agree. I wish the game played more like Battlefield mixed with survival horror mechanics. The gameplay isn't fun to me and the guns feel weird and uninspired. Could just be me but Back 4 Blood could have been so much better.

[@angel-6776]

Honestly every new mechanic is fantastic! Really rekindled my excitement for playing this game.

[@jaysonburke6839]

I was so incredibly excited for the Weaponsmith Card in theory. However, in practical application it is practically useless for me since you can Unbolt without using a card. If I have a White TAC14 I just unbolt it for 500 copper in a saferoom. When I find a Green or Blue TAC14 I swap the attachments over and then unbolt the Green or Blue - in the Saferoom (never need to Unbolt a Purple.) It's so easy to get a single Blue/Purple Long Barrel, Bullet Stumble, and Tactical Stock and just carry them for the rest of the game. No need to waste a card slot. Just take another Copper Card to pay for the 2-6 unboltings you'll ever need to do inside a Saferoom.

[@nekochibi2256]

I think it would be better if it was half the price. As it is, it’s too expensive for little benefit.

[@aritude1]

For those wondering how the 20% number is being used in Well Rested's Team Overheal at 10:30 Since 35 of the 93 heals go to regular health, the other 58 go to temp health. 20% of 58 is 11.6, which puts Swing at 113+11+10 = 134, where the extra 10 is from Antibiotic Ointment. (We can mostly ignore the decimals, since the game rounds to a whole number.) In summary: 20% of the healing that would otherwise be wasted is turned into temp HP.

[@Wrakhen]

And when your whole team find the cards to purchase in the wild, you create a melee monster with 400+ hp on no hope. Pretty fun xD

[@JOHNfuknRAMBO]

So exactly like "Bolstered Health" except it's appended to the end of your health bar in an invisible block and fills with "overhealing" with meds... So can "Vanguard" replenish that?

[@jaysonburke6839]

@@JOHNfuknRAMBO If you have 100HP and take the Overheal card you can never overheal past 100HP. In order to overheal past 100HP you need a Bolstered Health bar from Charice or Fit as a Fiddle Card. Then you can Overheal past 100HP up to 125 - 145HP per person. The extra 25-45 being Temp Health. And yes Vanguard replenishes Bolstered Health.

Man shredder range is terrifying, especially when they're across a gap in the tunnels, can't tell you how many times ive seen a team mate get yanked and fall to their doom. Also skull totem does 60 damage at 2 skulls and 90 at 3 skulls

It even goes up to legendary if you stack all three. Really powerful overall but also slow ☺️

[@houstin7866]

New barrel attachment- spray and pray=unlimited range -50% accuracy. Had 2 spawn on a guns, 1 more drop on the ground plus the new Legendary assault rifle named pestilence from a single box! The assault rifle is actually really good! You can’t use attachments on it but it has a stacking 3% damage on consecutive hits along with a 1% damage reduction! Also found the new melee hammer in the inner lair of the same tunnels. Super strong! Other attachments I have seen are sharpshooters monocle +100% weak spot damage -25% bullet damage, and an extended mag I can’t remember the name of with a +80% increase in clip size + 20% fire rate -50% accuracy. Also crazy amounts of copper in the tunnels and especially the inner lairs! Can’t wait to explore them all. Just be prepared for a bunch of bosses in the inner lair. Once you use the c4 to blow the webbing there is always something behind it. I think I had 8 of them. One had an Ogre, next had a hag, next had 2 breakers, next had 6 tall boys, next had 5 reekers and that’s as far as I got. 😂 The breakers and the hag didn’t stand a chance with the hammer! It was absolutely nasty on weak spots

[@godson357mag6]

Thank you swingpoynt.

[@Ven780]

At 7:05 you forgot to mention that the varient of the skull weapon increase from rare for 1 skull to epic for 2 skull and legendary for 3 skulls

[@FrostySmoke]

Also the Shredders can ledge your entire team especially in some of the more dangerous Hives.

[@LunnainnsCoffeeBreak]

I know I'm months later, and you might have noticed it already, but I'm gonna type this anyway; Leftclicking attachments makes you drop them on the ground, but if both weapons are unbolted, you can drag/drop like you did - but rightclicking the attachments auto-switches the attachment to the other weapon. You need both weapons unbolted for that to work though, just keep that in mind.

[@rasdakai]

It takes so much longer to beat Act One if you go through all of the tunnels but it's pretty fun lol.

[@SiodogRehane]

Trying out a melee build with 75% dmg resistance and 95% when you get hit, it's kinda broken but I still need some testing

Please tell me that build, I want to put that on Heng on no Hope to utilize his passive.

[@just181]

Please share😂I’d love to know

Ey bruh u better share the build lmak

[@christopherwinqvist8149]

You can make it 80% now after the update. Numb got nerfed from 15>10%, BUT Spikey Bits got buffed 10>20%. Personally I wouldn´t use the ”get hit for 15 or more health and gain 25% damage resistance”, just because I find myself to not take any damage right after getting hit hard by a breaker or tallboy. Instead if anything, they hit me again 5 sec later with no buff from that card. It`s fun for the meme, but not optimal for me.

[@MuraGX]

I have been WAITING on this video after the update lol

[@SeanPetitt]

Tysm for breaking down so much. My friends and I were eagerly anticipating your content.

A shredder cleared my whole team in the tunnnels. He was on the other side of a gap and pulled everyone to him making us all fall to insta death. Honestly incredible.

[@chewyikheng2777]

Not sure if anyone notice, but Power Swap now does not work if you swap your weapon after EMPTYING your magazine within 1 second. It'll only work if your weapon still have some bullets left when you switch to other weapon

[@AlexVanDover]

[@jaysonburke6839]

I can clearly hear ridden climbing ladders and walking up metal steps now too.

[@justareplica]

There is more. Especially ridden soundeffects when they move. Special ridden spawn noise and they are loud as heck too lol

[@rosysoviet]

Skull totem looked like it actually used less stamina than knife/punch when I was using both? So on a non-holly melee adrenaline-fueled build it seemed to be a nice bonus.

Going into a hive will not hurt your zwat progress. I was worried about this and couldn't find any info so wanted to share👍

[@shellsterdude]

Stealthy passage is a killer economy card. 100 copper for every disarm, and on average you can get at least 3-5 a map. Some maps you can get more than 10. New hives wreck the original game because you come out of them with purple or blue attachments and weapons even on 1-1. You also get extra cards, if not No Hope, and the new legendary weapons are stupidly powerful if you get lucky and find them.

[@jaysonburke6839]

It's so unbelievably slow though. Like 8 seconds to disarm one thing. By the time you disarm three alarms/birds on Recruit/Veteran everyone else will be so far away that you end up getting grabbed with no help, or cause a horde by getting hit during the animation lock. I'd only recommend the card if the character has 50-100% Use Speed. Using it on Karlee is bad as that negates her 2 Quick Item slots. Using it on Healers is bad as Defibs give back character Lives with Medical Professional. Now I know there are 5-6 situations where you have to go through an alarmed door. This card would be very useful for those situations on Nightmare. However, I feel like just as many Hordes will be called every time you fail a disarm. I honestly think it's better to just take another Cooper card and bring Razor wire for the "guaranteed" hordes.

[@strategyfirst2414]

The witnesses is the most op weapon in the game right now. Just no scope with auto fire on. It's amazing!

[@Giantshredder]

So, if I run stealthy passage(solo) I guess I'm out of luck on getting in toolkit rooms for the entire game?

[@jaysonburke6839]

Something in the patch notes stated: "Improved lockpicking ping behavior for bots." Which leads me to believe that bots can now lockpick the Tool rooms if you ping them. Just like you can Ping First Aid Stations and they will use them.

[@Giantshredder]

@@jaysonburke6839 that's awesome. I can't play for a couple days. Looking forward to it.

[@Saaly93]

IMO Stealthy Passage is almost a must have since the ridden don't seem to destroy alarm doors anymore unless a horde is triggered

[@SparklingWater.269]

What are your graphic settings that make your game look like that?

[@akatsukisixsixsix6522]

So let me get this right, they nerfed money grubbers by putting a cap on it because of the new corruption card "cost of avarice" which will nerf the player for having a lot of copper on them......How does this make sense to the devs.

[@sincey01a82]

The ridden hive it gets used on gives you thousands of copper which makes you move at a snails pace but I don’t get the nerf as you can drop your copper

[@trchowder9506]

Because if it didn't have a limit the cost of avarice corrupt card is basically a total buff to anyone doing money grubbers getting that card on the inner tunnels is basically payday letting you walk out with 3 to 4 thousand copper I'd imagine without the limit you could probably make double of that even plus the limit on regular levels even on recruit your never gonna hit that cap anyways

[@jaysonburke6839]

Money Grubbers was not nerfed. To my knowledge there wasn't a single map in the game that had 25 Gold Piles. Especially on Veteran / Nightmare. However the Cost of Avarice seems to spawn 25-50 Gold Piles. Not to mention the madness that can happen if you have multiple Copper Scavengers in The Nursery level. Also, my friends just give all of the Copper to a single player. Better to have 30 debuff stacks (max) on one person then all four people.

[@zero_wing_]

[@kitkup8570]

Okay so the way to make use of the Unbolting mechanic is just get a gun that can have all the attachments you want, so a revovler, unbolt it and keep it for the whole game as just your attachment bank.

[@jaysonburke6839]

Yep, or just unbolt your favorite White, Green, and Blue weapon once. That way its guaranteed to be a damage increase since you always keep the same mods. Total of 1500 Copper. Swap all of your Mods each time your colour variety changes. Saves a lot of money if you like to buy weapon attachments from the shop every time you find a new gun.

[@kitkup8570]

@@jaysonburke6839 No no no, I'm saying you only spend 500 during the whole chaptor, because you only unbolt 1 secondary weapon like Revolver and keep it the whole match as just your Attachment bank.

[@lonewolfrider29]

yeah yeah this stuff is really interesting and makes sense to be harder than nightmare. But one of the points you're always missing in your videos is that the game never works the way it is supposed to or the way they actually tell you it is supposed to. For instance, I was unable to stumble a snitch in No Hope with a green barrett and a blue stumble attachment.. and let's not forget that the reason they had added the amped up card was that they increased the special ridden spawns by 60-75% on Feb patch in order for the run to be sustainable.. but then again they kept the ridden spawns constant but amped up got super nerfed. And of course they never fix bugs that favor the ridden and in game lags are worse than ever. I really believe they could have done something better with their time. Spilled milk innit
