[@alexoneill3068]

Been watching you since skyrim times , keep it up Mike👍

[@QuickSaveTV]

Thanks for watching, Alex! Will do.

[@gabrielzeros]

Love these videos. You should do one for the first State of Decay

[@silvertriforce2574]

I think its Shotgun+Sharpshooter(shooting skill that gives better penetration) is pretty effective anti-crowd combo

[@QuickSaveTV]

When making this I haven't considered this combo. I've heard this mentioned here before too, it is really divine.

[@emont756]

Love the content!!!

[@QuickSaveTV]

Thanks, appreciate it!

Mike,sorry for playing Eco on your video :) at 3:344 Also, obligatory "Hi,mom!"

[@QuickSaveTV]

Oh I haven't even noticed. It's ok baby, you can show up in my vids anytime.

[@yerr2396]

Love ur vids bro 😌 and Whoever reads this please look around and appreciate what you have. Think that someone will always have it worse than you no matter what situation you’re in. Stay safe yall😎

[@HotaruZoku]

I was under the impression that "power" mattered as the higher it was, the more likely you are to knock a zombie over with a body shot, how big a stagger they have, and it's likelihood to dismember.

[@QuickSaveTV]

As far as I know they are not connected.

Researching for when Zombies overrun the nursing home I work for. Thanks Mike

[@QuickSaveTV]

You've gotta prepare. I need to make the "reinforcing nursing home base" guide sooner then!

[@caplorunnin]

@@QuickSaveTV indeed. Especially since I'm at work more often than home. I'm way more likely to be stuck there and have to defend it. Please highlight the stats for the elderly survivors and nurses. Is the "boomingly loud farts" trait worth including in my legacy?

[@QuickSaveTV]

@@caplorunnin xD Yes, definitely, especially as a scavenging partner, they'd be able to distract the Zs from you!

[@g4jira1]

Can we possibly harvest the fart for cheap bloater nades?

[@Zero_8347]

is my .22 with advanced brake really more powerfull than my .44mag without a brake?

[@Zero_8347]

what does range DO?

Ok, I have a question about power, you speaked a little about it but I still don't, let's say I have an. 22 or 9 mm weapon with suppressor and try to kill a juggernaut and I have another 7.62 weapon with max power from the mod. Both scenarios need the same amount of bullets? What is the cheapest option between these two? And another thing, the juggernaut needs to be shot on the head? The difference between the number of shots body VS head is big? How much better is to shot the head? Thanks for the video.

[@QuickSaveTV]

I haven't played the game for a while, but I will answer as best I can: 1. Typically speaking the caliber size in State of Decay directly relates to its damage. It follows something like this .22 -> 9mm -> .45 -> .357 -> .44 -> 5.56mm -> 7.62mm -> .50 cal. I might confuse some of the powers, but this is the general rating in my head and that's of course not counting all the ammo types. 2. Both scenarios should be different, with .22 and 9mm taking a billion bullets and 7.62 taking a "reasonable 60 shots to the head iirc. 3. There is no such thing as the cheapest option in this game, but typically smaller calibers are easier to find but you only need high caliber to quickly kill Jugs and humans. Therefore... Yes high calibers are more valuable and rare, but you only use them on Jugs and humans (some people even avoid using bullets on humans and just defeat them with simple tools and explosives). 4. The last time I checked Jugs were completely impervious (invulnerable) to damage other than to their head. I cannot recall if they have changed that. 5. The difference at the time of my testing was basically infinite. The Jug would eat hundreds of bullets and disregarding my attempts to kill it by body damage. It is very much preferable to shoot the head regardless of whether they patched it or not.

@@QuickSaveTV thanks for the elaborated response. I saw a lot of videos, and tried myself to kill the juggernaut with body shots only and it works with 50 cal and with other types of bullets. I will try to test with developer tool the difference between the bullets in quantity and time to kill. I'm pretty new for the game, I'm playing for about 3-4 weeks now and trying to understand the game. Now I have a nightmare playthrough and find strange two things witch in my opinion makes no sense. First is the damage is irrelevant, the need to headshot is annoying, very annoying. Not every time I have the patience to force my eyes to headshot 50 zombies. And are so many weapons that are full auto only, what is there purpose? If you shoot full auto beside wasting bullets the time to kill is not good at all, I wanted to the the infinite rage and spray in a horde and all the zombie die, but the game doesn't work this way. Second thing, a bigger problem in my opinion, even higher problem in high difficulty is the silencer, you cannot use a gun without, you simply can't. This makes a lot of weapon just parts in your stash nothing else, I feel like they put a lot of effort to make the models and mechanics for this weapons but with no attachment slot or silenced without one like echo weapons is just parts. Why they bothered making a non silenced full auto weapon, for who? Maybe in green zone.

I was disappointed that he didn’t mention that a higher power had a higher chance to remove helmets from armored zombies

[@drednezroth5369]

I thought control was also draw/ready up speed

[@QuickSaveTV]

I don't think so, I'm almost sure that draw and ready speed are universally instant.

@@QuickSaveTV if you're not super sure I may need to test it to be sure...hmmmm
