How To MASTER Deceive Inc.

[@DegnaRed]

18:29 It's worth being clear that Technician NPCs (the scientist non-guards in the Vault) will also open drawers.

[@FullmetalCroak]

You're right, this is important to note as well. I'd completely forgotten to mention that!

[@NgaMarsters]

"what is it that causes you to suspect an NPC of being a player in Disguise?" Well the sprinting, jumping out in the open, using jumpads out in the open, placing a shield behind them when unlocking doors. If you see a player doing this, your fate is already decided. RUN.

[@FullmetalCroak]

Maybe you could try to trail for a third party... but these situations are terrifying for sure LOL

[@NgaMarsters]

@@FullmetalCroak Nah because someone will third-party you if you do it lmao

[@Nat_the_Wizard]

Agent specific guides would be dope, this was a nice dense bit of info delivered in a way that made it feel light and digestible.

[@FullmetalCroak]

Thank you! I may consider this some day. I'm hoping we'll see a resurge of players for Season 4 - at the very least I may do some form of guide on the upcoming Agent.

The agency has really upped their standards 😎

[@1stGlitch]

❤ Absolutely Excellent Guide!

[@FullmetalCroak]

Thank you very much Glitch! I honestly hope it can guide new players towards a deeper understanding of the game.

This is great croak! Keep it up 👍

[@FullmetalCroak]

Thank you, that means a lot to me!

[@TheRealLarcin]

Note about guards. They typically won't shoot at you unless you either have a heat level. Or you're in a spot where the guards can't naturally reach you with a punch.

[@FullmetalCroak]

I was considering mentioning this but I’ve been shot at by guards when I have no heat + they could still reach me via running (which seems unintended given the overhaul patch notes) so I just didn’t bring it up.

[@TheRealLarcin]

I'm willing to bet its because you jump around and bounce mat alot so you probably just confuse the ai lmao.

[@FullmetalCroak]

@@TheRealLarcin This is entirely possible lol

[@DegnaRed]

+1 Would love Agent guides from Croak!

[@FullmetalCroak]

I'd love to go into agent-specific guides!

Nice guide froggy!!

Thank you Fei!

The Frog brought me here.

[@ramblenote]

great viddy mr. croak. thanks for teaching me this game!

[@FullmetalCroak]

The music is such an integral part of why I love this game. Thank *you* ramblenote!

[@TheSinlessAssassin]

This is awesome and helpful. Wish you could upload full matches you've done so we can see this all in practice!

[@FullmetalCroak]

I'm glad you like it! About a week ago for nearly an entire year I streamed Deceive every weekday on Twitch but recently I've branched out to playing DBD while Deceive cooks whatever new update they've got in store. On the KZbin side of things I've been doing weekly/bi-weekly uploads of the variety games I happen to play so sadly that isn't in the plans at the moment!

[@skiffin_]

nice video, so much work was put in. Thanks!

[@FullmetalCroak]

Thank you! I hope it helped!

@@Chrysalus_ That means a lot to me! Deceive is an awesome game and it really deserves a lot more attention. I really want this guide to help new players stick with the game.

@11:23 yeah you were pissed

[@FullmetalCroak]

The Squire bot would NOT stand still lol

[@alyssajones3607]

An agent guide would be awesome. I'm still learning and Cav seems so cool, but I can't get a good understanding of her investigate ability (I keep dying trying to find all 3 clues. Will it still ping if I just find 1?) Yu-Mi is another one I'm interested in but that seems more suited to me gaining more experience beforehand 😅 Anyways this video was amazing, Thanks 😊

[@FullmetalCroak]

With Cav's first expertise, the only difference between 1, 2, and 3 clues/items scanned is how long the duration of your trace on them will be! So if you suspect they are nearby and dangerous, only scanning one clue is completely fine if not preferred to avoid suspicion! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@alyssajones3607]

@FullmetalCroak Ohhh, ok so I looked sus because I lingered in areas too long looking for clues. 😳😅 Thanks for the response

[@FullmetalCroak]

@@alyssajones3607 No problem! Glad I can help!

Wait, FMC has a guide on this? Why couldn't I find this sooner? (Comment from Orange's alt account for clarification)

Hello!

Only two vids on here? 😭 man

[@FullmetalCroak]

I’d like to do more longer stuff but for now I’m mainly focused on the shorts!

[@alliu6562]

4:23 be *very* careful about following the exact guided path though. If another player happens to be nearby and also happens to be following this path, it’s super easy to catch you out. I literally caught someone in my second ever game by watching them following the exact path I saw on my hud, taking every correct turn, and then stopping at a blue door. Neither actions are confirmation of player behavior on their own, but it would take one hell of a coincidence for an NPC to do those two exact behaviors in a row. Needless to say, I won that gunfight.
