[@APack0fWolves95]

I used to think Baboonhawks were no big deal, and then I got attacked by one that wanted my loot and I died, causing us to miss fail the quota.

[@UnknownUser-wp9vp]

Honestly I’m not sure who was saying not to crouch run but I think you 100% should. It’s not “cheating” in any way. It’s just a tech for making gameplay much more smooth and fast. Plus if you mess it up it can get you killed so it’s a double edged sword. Regardless love the videos!

[@kindertak5396]

Unintentional techs, such as this one IS cheating, youre literally abusing a bug,

[@UnknownUser-wp9vp]

@@kindertak5396 it no longer becomes unintentional when the dev keeps it in. This bug has existed since before update v49 but has been kept in bc it’s a fun but risky tactic. That’s why things like hoiking in terraria have been kept by devs in the game purposefully for many years. They’re kept because they’re fun

[@UnknownUser-wp9vp]

@@kindertak5396 cheating would be abusing a glitch like save scum where you reload before you die or right after you die so you don’t lose your stuff or using bugs that glitch enemies in a spot like the glitch spot in the big room. Those are cheating. There’s no risk or fun in it.

[@kindertak5396]

@@UnknownUser-wp9vp '' Plus if you mess it up it can get you killed'', im not saying saying its game breaking, its still an unintentional gameplay ''feature'', therefore a bug. You remind me of people that abuse a move-stacking bug to do a 100% HP combo in fighting games but call it a ''tech''. and skill when its something a macro could do By definition IT IS cheating, plus unless the devs confirm the bug will be left in the game its still a bug, no ''tech''. There are bugs that take the game developer years to fix, maybe this isn't one of them but still Thought this doesnt hurt my personal experience in any way, its like people who use Keep Inventory in Singleplayer Minecraft, you play as you find it fun as long as it doesnt hurt other people

[@UnknownUser-wp9vp]

@@kindertak5396 just because it’s unintentional, does not mean it’s considered cheating. Cheating is gaining an unfair advantage over others. There is nobody else and there is no advantage. It’s just to move faster rather than go slow which is boring. The reason they’re considered techs at least in games like lethal company is because they’re fun for improving the games progression. It’s like finding a way to bunny hop in a game. Is it considered cheating? No it’s considered a fun tech people use to make the movement more smooth. I’m not speaking on fighting games bc that’s a different story. That’s player v player and has strict rules. This is lethal company a 4 player coop with no rules and freedom. Just like keep inventory, it’s not cheating or even playing creative. It’s just how people want to play. It’s cheating if it’s to gain an advantage on other players. I get what you mean by cheating but this doesn’t apply in this game. It does in other like if it was a battle royal but not this type of game.

Dude has the makings to be one of those go-to channels to watch to relax or fall asleep too.

[@hluccaskywalker8329]

One thing I found on assurance that I wanted to share, when coming out of the fire exit, if you get back onto the pipe, you can run along the left wall to stay high up longer and avoid anything that's on the low ground for a bit. (edited to fix a spelling error)

[@Ramikin]

I’m back to rewatch this after falling asleep to it last night. This series is so good

[@reminiscentiaoff4669]

1) Consistently great videos is amazing. I hope you're having as good a time making them as we are watching. Important to avoid burnout. 2) Something I've noticed if watching later in the day. For me this is a compliment; your voiceovering is so chill it helps me sleep. Favourite type of engaging to calming energy ratio.

[@netroillius5717]

Btw, there is a way to make back from fire exit almost without any danger at all landing on a ship. Basically you follow the pipe until on the left hand you find a hill to jump onto (It is basically on the same level as the pipe). Then jump on a higher part of the hill followed by a jump on a fuel truck thingy. Going over it you go straight across the valley (it's the valley what leads to the fastest way to main entrance) and past the drop pod point up the hill. Jumping from that hill it is possible to land on a ship. Missing the jump or being too heavy will lead to some damage taken though. Haven't tested the limit of that jump fully yet but last mentioned valley is super close to the ship already. So taking a walk straight form there is also good option avoiding most outdoor enemies already at this point. Just thought it might be helpful. Thanks for the content and keep going!

Baboon hawks attack pretty randomly, generally when being looked at for too long, but all you have to do is run away from them for a little under 10 seconds and they'll give up for a bit.

[@marshalltentis5588]

To do the assurance jump, you can do the wurps bee strat jump (qhere you turn to the left and jump onto the protruding part of the ship then onto the roof), then fall off onto the back railing and hit the jump. You dont take any fall damage. Also, your videos are absolutely incredible. Keep it up.

[@scarletkoppel886]

[@Ramikin]

Also wrt impossible doors vs geography, I always just assumed there was some House of Leaves shit going on with the moons. I think it fits with the vibe and lore and explains why its different every time you go to the same moon.

to make the jump at the start a bit more guaranteed you have to press the open door button once you hear the little jingle of the door opening this will give you a bit more time to land into the rock as the door will open slightly faster

hoping to see that we need to go deeper iron man run, ive tried it several times now its SO hard

[@deadspace4755]

Do the turrets and mines take up of indoors max power. Good thing about the easiee maps, if there is a bracken, you can more relaxed as, if you only need to look behind, it will much better than fighting a thumper unless you're experienced in Thumper. Once you know what is inside, you can guess with max power what is inside Dropping items on top of the pipe, the black railings of the pipe, makes it easier, saves plenty of time

[@dhdhdhdbdbdbdbd4453]

Are you going to try an inverse teleporter iron man run like where you can only use the inverse teleporter to enter the rooms. That would be cool

[@Megajaybreaker4]

It’d be a tad RNG heavy… not saying that the other iron man runs he did weren’t also really RNG, but that feels like it would be the thing to end someone’s run by teleporting them behind a locked door.

[@therpderp]

Despite the RNG concerns, I would love to see this run. May be better in a duo though, since both players won't always TP behind a locked door, thus giving a chance for the run to not explode immediately.

[@SAmaryllis]

I don't know if I particularly mind the crouch running, the tradeoff is that your finger gets tired spamming crouch and it kinda brings motion-sickness LOL. It mostly seems helpful when you have dog/worm combos; it could always be patched out too if it trivializes dog encounters too much I guess I don't mind because I play a lot of Overwatch, and crouch spamming while walking as Tracer is a known tech that pro players use to move silently as well

[@T1ppyGD]

About crouch-running, I would say it's totally justified considering all the random bs the game throws at you outside, like wtf does it want me do do against a giant, sandworm, and multi-dog combo???

[@mcawesome9705]

2:45 xd yes it was, you just didn't notice the turret the first time (and the turret didn't notice you)

[@Megajaybreaker4]

Assurance. My favorite map when it’s not eclipsed. It’s an easy map with the same amount of loot as an intermediate map. How could I not like it?

[@brianevts]

Lmao that first turret death. That would have gotten me too

[@sheffaustin]

let’s play again soon 👀

[@RatPoggers]

When i was playing lethal company in school (pirated) i couldn't play with sound because the teacher didn't like the sound from the games. I was playing the moon assurance and trying to get the beehive, saw the worm particles (i couldn't hear the worm) and ran. I turned around and saw TWO WORMS in the sky. Two of my classmates were watching me play and one of them said "what was that in the sky?" (It's the first time they hear about lethal company) I'm like "I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M ALIVE". It was like 7pm in game so i just ran and started the ship. This was my second time playing lethal company so i was bad at the game. Also 500 subs away from 10k

[@Blumiii]

Ive heard that assurance has the largest amount of loot aside from the tier 3 moons. It also has the least monsters, too. Always my go-to map while I save up for Titan or a jetpack.

[@Megajaybreaker4]

It doesn’t have the most, it has a shared amount with march. It has the most out of the tier 1 moons, but offense has (barely) more.

[@lordmarshmal_0643]

Maybe not in item count but from what I understand, its loot pool (in terms of like value and size, Wurps did a video showing the distributions it's pretty nifty) is considerably better than the other free moons, not all that much big stuff to lug around in comparison to them I'd say it's also the safest moon in the free set, there's still a chance the more attention-dominating monsters (thumper, bracken) can show up but the Miraheze page says they have just a slightly lower chance of showing up than they do on Experimentation

[@charleedude5519]

if lethal dies down do you think you could swap onto different games turning into a variety yter?

[@winzigerflashendeckel6894]

[@LongLiveJames]

I highly doubt that the crouch tech should be considered cheating it was kept in the game purposefully and adds an aura of risk as it is more risky than just crouching

[@vinhdangquang1460]

[@adrian-victor2727]

Crouch running is a mechanic in the game, if you think it's fair you should use it. Just like cheesing the thumper, it got patched because it wasn't intended.

[@Senpai_lumi]

Unrelated to assurance but I literally had this moment where I was facing a spider for the 4th time and I lost every time before hand so I was ready and then it started dancing on the wall and seduced me and my friend before insta killing both of us by teleporting everywhere. No mods btw...
