SMASH might be the Best AMP in The Outlast Trials

[@Lu1zca]

Now that you can break Co-op Doors, i think they must give us an Amp where we can climb the co-op walls or jumb over the long gap in singleplayer. That would be so cool. Then I think this would also be an ability Amp because when you could equip both, this would be cool but op.

[@tobydammit6599]

Hide and heal used to be my favorite as someone who is bad at juking and always takes a hit here and there. Essentially endless health. But that smash buff easily took no 1. Being able to go where you damn please on your own is so satisfying.

[@Bluriate]

@@tobydammit6599 Once I started using smash I couldnt go back 😩

[@nightmareking4491]

Yeeah, it feels OP right now after they added this breaking coop doors ability to it. In some trials it is slightly too overpowered even because you save so much time going from one place to another while those coop doors are open for you. Those are basiclly shortcuts! Still, Noise Reduction is the most broken in my opinion however Smash is like nr. 2 for sure next to Last Chance or Self-Revive!

[@Bluriate]

Self Revive is stinky due to respawn pills, and syringes imo, dying kills your rank so you wanna avoid trying to rely on that, last chance is the goat tho 🐐

[@nightmareking4491]

@@Bluriate Yep for sure, I dont find myself dying in the game after 5 hundred hours too, however in escalation mode i is usefull to have when "no revives" modifier will drop. But yeah, Last Chance is the way to go for sure, NR, Smash and LC are basiclly "Meta Build" right now.

[@xnemisisx]

We need more people playing outlast trials

[@Bluriate]

I feel it gets to repetitive which may be why a lot of people dont play or only play a little at a time but I agree wit u

[@CursedMoistMan690]

Shhh don't say it's the best amp the devs will nerf it!

[@Bluriate]

@@CursedMoistMan690 For real 🥲 atleast they improved xray a lil

[@kalebnarlee5510]

Nice video, not sure if doing this with teammates is more or less difficult. I also like seeing the full gameplay. even if you are familiar with the trial its still intense watching you almost get caught or have to check your back even when you know there's no one there.

[@Bluriate]

@@kalebnarlee5510 with teammates is 100% easier, same amount of enemies, more rigs more people making distractions and quicker objectives and thank you for the input on fuller gameplay 🙂

[@looneyEddie]

Liked the full gameplay!

[@sjshocker]

Dear god! I didn't even know, that I can smash a co-op doors with smash. I always tought, it is just for simple doors. This really changing everything.

[@Bluriate]

@@sjshocker It was only added with the newest update, it didn't use to!

[@voidouts5567]

Thanks to your videos I actually tried out the smash amp and it's my go to now unless there's a variator that makes me have to change it for convenience. It's very fun to just smash doors in one hit lmao. The only drawback in my case is that I get too addicted in smashing down doors that I've accidentally opened trapped ones here and there lmao.

[@Bluriate]

@@voidouts5567 🤣 it happens to the best of us runnin into trapped doors and yeah its satisfying 🤤

[@Oilupimtherein5]

I mostly play solo, I already used smash anyway so this just makes it even better lol

[@Bluriate]

@@Oilupimtherein5 Exactly same situation I was in 😂

[@correlatesun]

Like the video man. btw idk how you do psycho surgery solo that's crazy. I cant even get a good grade on one lol.

[@Bluriate]

@@correlatesun I've done a lot of trials so I kinda know what to expect, and also I be taking my Super BAD attempts to the grave with me 💀

[@jakezepeda1267]

Oh wow. I already kept this Amp on at all times just for the convenience but this actually may be too good.

[@HistoricMold440]

They should rework it to something with a name like "loner" where they take off the one hit smashing of normal doors but they let you do all the coop actions solo

[@Bluriate]

@@HistoricMold440 No 👎 Maybe make that a new amp in the same slot, I like being able to smash regular doors in one hit 😅

[@Fabe919]

It’s sooooooo good. No more waiting for teammates! And yes, opening doors quickly makes noise.

[@Bluriate]

@@Fabe919 oh yeah forgot that opening doors slowly is a thing 😅

[@Scabloonshki]

I hope they do something that lets us jump over co-op jumps. Maybe buff adrenaline to allow us to do that. I think that’d be fair.

[@Bluriate]

@@Scabloonshki cool idea tbh and would make some sense if it worked like that

[@_TheRockyGamer_]

I might have to try Smash if this is the case! Those blocked double doors are such a pain in the ass sometimes!

[@Bluriate]

@@_TheRockyGamer_ For real, you been using strong arm beforehand I assume?

[@_TheRockyGamer_]

@@Bluriate no, I’m a big Invisible fan, but I’m willing to swap things up if it means I can bash through blocked double doors!

[@Bluriate]

@@_TheRockyGamer_ Oh yeah I remember you saying about usin Invisible, Yeah even in coop you can bash the double doors without needing to wait on another person too

[@_TheRockyGamer_]

@@Bluriate which is beautiful, because I play solo and going for the A+ on Psychosurgery can be a bitch with those blocked doors! 😭

[@Bluriate]

@@_TheRockyGamer_ for real, them doors annoyed me so much when solo so I had rewired my brain to think they dont exist 😭

[@chipskylark6953]

Shut down the factory upper floor best

[@Bluriate]

You might be right, I just cant recall the map well enough yet edit: especially with how dark a lot of the upstairs is

[@Kaneyane]

which amp did you replace to put on Smash? I haven't looked into "Best AMP" videos in forever. I still run slippers, incognito and another one I can't think of right now.

[@Bluriate]

@@Kaneyane Smash is in the slot that you cant think of, but thats still a solid loadout edit: second one/ middle slot

[@HistoricMold440]

For the second tier (before smash got updated) the best 2 amps were invisible and strong arm. strong arm made bottles and bricks both stun for WAY longer, like full on threw the people you hit to the ground, and invisible made it so that you CANNOT be found in a hiding spot as long as you didn't get into it right in front of an enemy chasing you. Like it literally just made it so that whatever hiding spot you were in never gets searched

[@sinner2133]

I wouldn’t call it the best amp. Yes, smashing co-op doors is great, but not all trials have those doors. Still, I’ve been a smash main for weeks. It just *feels* great to use, and going back to anything else after using smash just feels wrong. Also, barricade too strong

[@Bluriate]

I know some don't have many coop doors or good ones but it still has a use of smashing through locked doors and barricades in one hit so you can run through the map fluidly. Also the amount of noise when slamming basically every door with 2 hits 😭🙏 Thats why Im saying Smash > StrongArm in the Amp slot

[@sinner2133]

@@Bluriate oh I agree on this. Also, you played pretty damn well. Bad Apples is arguably the hardest trial in the game. Huge shame about the A+, but I kinda understand why you got that grading. You got hit and triggered traps a lot

[@Bluriate]

@@sinner2133 yeah the traps did me in didn't even feel like I hit that many, probably glass as I don't look down enough 😅

[@Dashiawia]

@@BluriateHonestly this was a pretty nice run. I’m also a bit surprised that you didn’t get A+ as you only took 2x damage. Maybe if you had thrown more bricks and bottles at enemies you’d have counterbalanced the demerits from the sound traps. Btw, you intentionally hit the cans at pushing the boat part; I think that counts as triggering multiple sound traps 😅. Great video showcasing the power of Smash though! It’s now my favourite AMP too. Noise Reduction is probably a tad stronger still, but with the Strong Arm nerf, I’d say that Smash takes the number 2 spot.

[@Bluriate]

@@Dashiawia In a fight or flight situation I be flighting, no time for throwing bricks n bottles 😂 definitely should go out my way and do that to gurantee them A+s

[@TheRoook]

Smash and Strong arm are my favoriretes
