Amazing that the blind dogs are... not so affected by light

[@greasygrass39]

The radar booster ping is more effective at attracting them rather than the flash. Aside from that, they radar boosters can tank Lightning strikes, and if there are dogs, spam pinging them can lure them into a lightning strike. Had an easier game just doing that

[@Crossbarre]

Its crazy that they are affected to begin with? They dont got eyes, so did they grow them because of the radar? LOL. My guess is it's just there to give a quick stun to senses, but it's still weird

holy shit thumper with flash is such an intimidating visual

[@Wurps]

they really do go a lil crazy

[@-mark-9333]

9:45 yeah the problem of melee weapons is that some "hits" don't count as one, I also can refer about the difficulty hitting a Thumper

[@MagicalMidgetPete]

Thumpers are definitely easier to kill than spiders IMO by abusing the speed reset on hit. Just takes a bit of practice and room to back up and maneuver. The radar booster is absolutely blocking melee hits in these provided clips so I would avoid.

[@Crossbarre]

​@MagicalMidgetPete Yeah the thumper I feel is easier to kill than spider when it comes to backward maneuver. With spider, you have to be basically right outside it's 80% hp chompers, meanwhile thumper loses all speed if hit or first time activation of the rampage. Either being the first to go to a thumper when its not raged out is so easy to kill and even if in rage mode, all it takes is 20% hp to stop his rage with a shovel then the rest is simple

[@cursedhawkins1305]

Maybe there's an issue with the hitboxes usually whenever things like this that worked fine before an update start having issues, it's always a good idea to have a look at the hitboxes.

[@WaterMelwin]

3:47 brackern covered his face lol

[@slowenbrau1859]

Shovel FEELS like it hits a lot more consistently when what you're trying to hit is on the center of the screen rather than the lower part where the swing animation happens. Would be nice to get specifics on how hit detection works though.

[@wasabi1443]

Fr bro it throws me off every time cause the shovel doesn’t look like it reaches when u swinging and aim in the middle

[@scrublord09]

When you swing the shovel you pull it back into your body on the down swing. This is why you can hit form farther away in the middle of the screen, I believe. It's not a straight line--it's a curve. Just think about rotating it in a circle with the center of the shovel as the pivot point. Note about if the circle was centered on your head it would be much closer to your body near your hips than in front of your face. It makes intuitive sense if you watch the path of the shovel when someone else swings it.

[@diffriendtiate]

​@@scrublord09the hit scan follows a sphere and the lower you're looking the further the hit scan is from what you're trying to hit

[@agusprasetyoutomo5699]

@@scrublord09 Oh so we should be aiming straight ahead rather than angled?

[@ZeallustImmortal]

Breaking news, aiming with the center of your screen is better than aiming with the corner of your screen. This is a massive breakthrough in gaming history.

[@SajFox]

The shovels attack actually hits on the left side of the screen where the head of the shovel is, this creates confusion on hit boxes and inconsistent hits if you’re aiming with the center of the screen

[@tusken9669]

So look more down and to the right to hit better? Also does that mean sticking to the left wall is a bad idea and cause you to hit the wall more often?

[@SajFox]

you can do testing yourself but yes I’m pretty certain it hits to the left a bit

[@fropepsi]

I love how this video is made just like how an animal documentary is. Carefully explaining each monster's pros and cons with the flash. Great to know the uses of the radar booster.

[@i_am_a_random_guy]

to the creator: the nutcracker actually shoots 2 times without a break when he is on his last shovel hit

[@maxhay9098]

I find it interesting that the flash has a reduced effect on Blind Dogs instead of no effect, suggesting they do have at minimum some sort of light-sensing organ or rudimentary "eye," probably to help it determine day vs night and whether there's a thunderstorm occuring.

[@kingramon437]

most creatures like that have sensitive (to light) skin. which would merely perturb and irritate the creature. like how spiders kinda jitter and panic for a second (literal second) after being exposed to light.

[@ooser707]

​@@kingramon437 also the stun would probably make a (small) vibration so they would feel that

[@fakeangel9641]

have we tested having two radar boosters and staggering the flashes in an attempt to make the stun infinite?

[@alexanderlong.7234]

I was thinking the same thing except with 3 radar boosters to infinitely stun the eyeless dogs.

[@kermitthealmighty3266]

it would basically put terminal person out of commission, but you could potentially set up a macro to go ping flash+flash+flash (ping to draw dogs near)@@alexanderlong.7234

[@jellybean7361]

I can definitely say the shovel hardly ever hits the monsters now. I think it was something in the new update., because I remember it was way more consistent before it

[@SajFox]

I’ve tested with a friend and it seems the shovels attack is on the left side of the screen where the shovel head is, you can hit someone completely off to the left but can miss someone just a little bit the the right

[@jellybean7361]

@@SajFox I see. Perhaps I'll go test this later. I think Zeekers said you can opt in to play the v40 version too, so I might check on there to see if the shovel behaves normally compared to the new version.

[@SeudXe]

I tested this on my teammate you can still hit them easily at the center of the screen. In fact the radius in which you can hit someone is pretty wide but you can only hit one thing at a time and I guess it prioritizes whatever is closer to you instead of enemies even if in range which is a huge problem. @@SajFox

[@dylanram4653]

[@IDyn4m1CI]

That is actually SUPER useful to know, wow. I've been having trouble on Titan because in most runs if we go past 3:00 PM and don't secure our loot, a giant usually spawns outside the ship, and it becomes impossible to get the loot back in as they just linger there until the end of the day. With the flash function of one of these bad boys, though, that should make it trivial. I've never thought this function would be so potent

[@justincorzo10]

Shovel damage vs players seems far more inconsistent after the update.

[@arandomdude5147]

Hey Wurps! so About thumpers, this is actually a pretty frequent issue in the up´date itself and isnt actually just cause of the flash, this happens when attempting to hit them in rails too! Heres how i pull it off, flash the thumper and hit it on its sides, the radar booster method is best done when having one player hold the booster and a radio, then drop the booster when something is near, so the enemy will almost always turn toward the person who let go of the booster, so hitting its sides is much easier and rarely has this "wall rebound" issue.

[@jakes-dev1337]

Doesn't make much sense as a paragraph.

[@alexanderlong.7234]

The radar booster's ping can also be used as a simplified and fast communication which should nullify the need for a walkietalkie and save those precious inventory slots. while the signal transmitter can communicate more complicated topics more slowly but to everyone. a single ping can also be used to tell the person holding the radar that a monster has appeared on the radar and two pings to tell a person that they walked past a item or maybe three pings to say theres a item in the room they are in. continued use will make it apparent what is best to communicate using this.

another thing to note about nutcrackers is that if you stay completely still not moving your camera or anything while they look around, they wont notice you

[@zz8az]

the thumper being flashed in that sequence was just nightmare fuel

[@notlasaugna6951]

I also had the same problem with the thumper I was hitting it with my shovel yesterday but for some reason it wasn't doing damage and it killed me (I know I was hitting it cause I played the rebound effect and the thumper got stunned)

[@judgement7279]

I can't wait for them to add a something like drone with a shocker or a turret that can be controlled by a person using a terminal

[@milokiss8276]

I’ve heard that shovels and other melee weapons project a sphere in front of your face- Meaning that to hit something in front of you like thumpers or spiders, You have a better chance if you aim lower to the ground than you’d expect, Like a 45 degree angle.

[@Orrin2307_alt]

Watching this at night in a dark room was the biggest mistake of my life

[@gentozik]

So now we have a perfect counter for some run enders such as Jester or a Giants

[@IronHorse1854]

For the shovel against thumpers in general, I seem to have the most consistent results if I can maneuver behind them. I tend to get the most kills or at least a trade if I do it like this. You can't rail cheese them anymore of course, but I've found that using a rail to get over the thumper and then quickly striking it will buy you a hit in a lot of cases, and then repeating this constantly tends to work more or less most of the time for me. I don't know how hit detection or hitboxes work in this game but it feels quite inconsistent, hitting the thumper in the back tends to be more consistent than hitting it in the head though. Although, this could just be me happening to be getting lucky whenever I go for the back, and not getting lucky when attacking from the front. I can't rule out confirmation bias here without knowing exactly how it works. Who knows.

[@caffea5561]

U can press the up and down keys (easy shortcut to not press ctrl V for the flash command), have a great run dor the company!

[@thecluckster3908]

So basically every creature that can’t be defeated by a shovel (except for the eyeless dogs and ghost girls) can be countered by this. So basically what I’m getting is people should have 1 shovel dude, one zap gun, one radar booster dude,and one dude on the ship for ultimate survivability.

[@ihave2cows]

how did you get the monitor to zoom out like that? is that a mod, or does the radar booster expand the camera's view?

[@minecrashinhard]

Finally jester counter play, and giant counter?

[@VirtualKota]

Have you tried flashing the nutcracker when it's eye is out? Dunno if that would work or not.

[@Craft2299]

if these creatures get stunned by radar booster flash, how much harder do they get stunned by the grenade? Im thinking a group of coil heads can be escapable if you have a grenade.

[@Soulreaver-yq1ll]

can i use the flash alone or did i need a player to write the code in terminal?

[@hotsoup1001]

What about using the ping function to aggro the dogs away from the ship?

[@flashjpo]

I'm a bit late to this but I did NOT know that the Radar Booster could effect so many monsters!

[@joekochevar4039]

There is a glitch on titan where if the ghost girl is on you and you go to the terminal, you can set the radar booster right outside the ship on the catwalk and when she pops up just flash her. It'll glitch her out and if you don't leave the ship she won't come in. You'll need to repeat every time you see her tho or it's bye bye to your head

I wondered if the hitting. Was bugged or if I was just bad. But I’m glad your confirmed that its not working great for you either

[@SarahTheGuard]

Does the radar booster ping attract the dogs like the rocket ship does?

[@m3taldragon1]

I'm surprised you haven't noticed this, but all the mobs are being stunned for the same duration. The animation determines the actual length. The bracken and baboon birds are perfect illustrations of this. The stun gun just replays the animation over and over for about 5 seconds. You can confirm this by timing how long it takes for the creature's animation to finish after the stun gun has finished firing.

[@EdySerban2000]

So you can basically just keep it in hand and keep jester more or less in the same place while your team loots?

[@kungusrungus2133]

We encountered a thumper recently that didn’t die to 12+ shovel hits as it killed all 4 of us We didn’t flash it either, not sure if there’s just some bug with them

[@Dissectionator]

I find it really easy to hit the thumpers I’m not sure why everyone else hits the walls so much but it seems to be a common trend

[@donnovanash2334]

Could you buy two and stagger activations to fully stun lock giants and jesters, probably not use full for giants, but having a script to flash half of the boosters, then stagger the other half, and stun lock two jesters per person when entering, or even more to stun lock more resistant enemies, or even using like 50 for a bracken, tho I don’t know why you wouldn’t just lock it in a room

[@spectralspooky]

I used to think that the booster would only be useful if it could be teleported, and now it think it would be OP if it could be teleported

[@matthewhughes5759]

[@arkine11]

Weird that so many people say the spider stun is short, but it's only about half a second shorter than the giant? Timed it multiple times and it's ~2s for the spider vs ~2.5s for forest giant, if even that much difference. Seems people are exaggerating its duration on Forest Giants because they have no other hard counter and it's very effective on them due to the range and countering their eating, but does not make the time such an enormous difference as I noticed most people say.

[@JohnDoe-sm5jv]

I have a question, what mods do you use in general? Maybe this could be a video because I would love to know what mods you use for all different kinds of task.

I do have 1 more question, what mod gave you godmode and do you know of any that give infinite money. I primarily just wanna test interactions myself. Amazing videos as always!

[@Michaelonyoutub]

For getting kicked out of the terminal when someone is getting converted by the masked, are you sure that isn't a bug from mods?. I could see the helmet cam mod potentially causing that issue, as the dev likely coded it so it kicks the person being converted out if it tries to render the first person conversion animation for that person, and then the helmet cam mod would render that first person view for the person on the terminal on the monitor beside them, then the person on it get converted, triggering the thing that kicks them out of the terminal.

[@shiinafujino3960]

add: radar booster does not do much to eyeless dogs, however you can ping [radar name] to make it say hello, it will attracts the eyeless dogs. kind of similar way to aggro the dog, but you wouldn't want to sacrifice the 60$ for distracting the dog. walkie talkie can do the job

[@rezonantsarachnids5351]

Thumpers just generally seem really inconsistent with receiving hits when their head is off the ground. While they're crawling/running i find it easier to land hits, but if they have just eaten a crew member you may think you have a quick window to rush in and get some hits in before they target the next person. This almost never works IME, as soon as they lift their head higher to roar or in this case, are flashed by a radar booster, half the hits go right through them

[@konet-_-419]

How do you use the flash?

[@Saphiros]

Thumpers have always been very easy to deal with for me as long as I had a shovel or a sign, not sure why yours seem to not hit as much, might be a mod getting in the way as you said.

[@echomjp]

I think the recent update made the shovel hitboxes change a bit, so it might take a bit of getting used to for players in general.

[@Kywu]

This thing would cause me PTSD tbh , need to tune down the flashlights or have a longer cooldown

If you want to see if the hitreg is caused by a mod (residual or otherwise), you could try a fresh install of the game pretty easily by just uninstalling, creating a new Steam library folder, then installing to that new folder.
