Gut packing is wayyyyy more then just knowledge of cooking, that red talon member also has 30% less food needed for the community, and a 100 infection resistance for the community, one of the best red talons

[@Dbf1339]

I realized that later also how valuable nutrition is when you want to craft stamina items on lethal

[@calluminkster6892]

I love your style of simple commentary. The KZbin community doesn't deserve this polite clarity.

[@BlanickGaming]

Thank you much for the kind words! Hope you enjoy my videos.

[@reddeadchris1250]

This video was great. Well pit together simple to understand an told me all I needed to get started so thank you

[@BlanickGaming]

Thank you. Hope it helps!

[@amynairn369]

I appreciate this and this is my first video that I’ve watched of you and I enjoyed it,thanks.

[@BlanickGaming]

Thank ya kindly

[@kduffy7121]

Awesome video!! Your commentary was great and helpful!!

[@BlanickGaming]

That's awesome. I always hope someone out there hears something that resonates with them. Yes, love me views. But care about helping others more.

I like running Demo Red Talon with Vigil Guard and Frontline Experience which is basically 80% Fatigue Severity, then at max Prowess would be a total of 120%, I know there is a cap, but running those stats just makes my survivor able to be played for hours upon hours and only losing 1-2 Stamina. If you have Logistics on your team that's also a plus, You would be able to carry 10x painkillers/coffees making it much more efficient on surviving for longer times.

This channel is so underrated!!! Give the man the thumbs he deserves!!! ;)

[@johndarkorlean8308]

I was looking for info on duplicates. You might said to make sure there is no duplicates. But I think I might like to have maybe two or three that are in firearms or fortification. Just to have the +material and +ammo daily, seems to have an advantage if it's doubled or even trippled. Especially in times of scarcity.

[@BlanickGaming]

Everything is a trade-off. For each duplicate, you give up something. When selecting strategy, keep that in mind.

[@Dbf1339]

They should have given a read talon contractor for completing lethal play throughs. Grinding for the characters online is boring after a while. But getting a random red talon after lethal play through would have kept the game more interesting too keep playing once you get good

[@Himbeer-Toni]

Are they stacking ? If you get 10 of the food and medic +1 a day, the base dont need farms anymore etc. , does that work ?

[@BlanickGaming]

Some stack, but I don't think they'll stack that high. I was greedy and wanted all the benefits, so I got one of each.

[@eddardgreybeard]

They are my strike team survivors. They dream of clearing infestations and popping plague hearts. They feel lost when they aren't doing those things.

[@BlanickGaming]

Nice. They must get hungry.

[@eddardgreybeard]

@@BlanickGaming They eat what they kill

[@hollisunderwood-pn7sf]

@@eddardgreybeardThere’s an enclave that was in one of the restaurant bases and I swear to god, she gave me a sack full of meat that made my character kinda question where she got it from. There wasn’t a response from the NPC, but we know. WE KNOW.

[@savvy2229]

To skip the cool down, just call in one, check the fifth skill, if ya don't like it, quit out the game, and come back in and it'll re roll all the filth skill for that character, do so until you get what you like

[@BlanickGaming]

nice tip

[@DrtERotinBasstrd]

I'm not really a big fan of sharpshooter when in huge hordes that have bloaters and multiple screamers, lol. I've been lit up trying to hit them but it keeps snapping to other mobs.

[@BlanickGaming]

Same when trying to get a feral while on top of a shipping container with a big horde. Seems to target everything BUT the one you're trying to get

[@hiwill87]

the red talon solider that I recruited did not have a mask with him, he just look like a operator, hows it going this way

[@BlanickGaming]

The soldiers don't have masks. They're the ones on the right of the thumbnail. The operators do. They have daybreak outfits on. Collectively, the game refers to them as contractors.

[@alexanderpettit2106]

Infrastructure is now in my lineup lol

[@BlanickGaming]

Infrastructure is a great one.

[@oliverqueen3234]

I had one with the hacking ability and extra outpost slot but he died because my nephew was playing when I was at work can I get another person with that ability

[@BlanickGaming]

Yes, just make sure to tell the next contractor you changed your mind if you get one other than the one you want. That way you don't get charged the prestige. It'll refund. The call red talon function with go on cooldown, but you just keep trying until you get the one you want.

[@DanXRojas]

In predators was showing there muscles really necessary

[@BlanickGaming]

I can tell you it sure wasn't my arm. :-D

[@CT-nb5lm]

Aim Snap~ i am soo glad i neve rused this until way later. I rarely use anything other than .22 or 9 and both are weak af & headshots are cruc.

[@BlanickGaming]

.22 does just as well as a 9 most of the time, has a larger stack size (90?), and much cheaper :)

[@emeryweaver3796]

I couldn't make out what you were saying bud, how about which quest to get the demolition operator. Sounded like you said the child esk quest lol

[@BlanickGaming]

Ha, chavez quest. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGOxonSXismdock

@@BlanickGaming right on n thank ya my audio just sucks on my phone

[@zacharydurham9567]

I have 10 red talon characters... i use one... never used more than one. And i dont use one of the ones i payed for i use the free one from trumble

[@BlanickGaming]

I usually alternate between 3 so 2 are resting. The rest hang out at the base. Though I haven't tried the send survivor to infestation mechanic yet. So they may be useful.

[@zacharydurham9567]

@BlanickGaming the infestation mechanics are great. Not sure if you saw but you can get prestige for sieges now.

[@BlanickGaming]

@Zachary Durham I saw that and plan to test it out for a vid. So far, I've not had a siege. Even when I get siege sites, I take out the controlling plague heart and it withers. I'll probably just let a siege happen to see the new mechanic.

[@samcrdx8016]

I have a red talon operator but for some reason aim snap doesn't work on him lel

[@BlanickGaming]

Has his shooting skill been leveled to warfighting yet?

[@samcrdx8016]

@@BlanickGaming Yeah. Full 7 stars on warfighting

[@BlanickGaming]

@SamCRDX Does it show as an ability under the warfighter description? There's a maximum distance on it. As soon as they come into range, aimsnap will automatically start working. It's really meant as a close quarter ability when you'd typically struggle to get a quick targeting on them. I'm assuming you're holding down the aim button while then the aimsnap button. Left trigger hold and then A I believe on Xbox. Not sure on pc. Just giving some ideas. When I get back to the house, I can look for other possibilities. That's just off the top of my head.

[@SIDEKICKONYOUTUBE]

the only NON-RED Talon skill i needed was PATHOLOGY...

[@NnNeo-ql2kq]

My community members are 10 Red Talon members with different special skills and everyone has CLEO Heavy Sniper and CLEO Pistol, Lethal Zone is a joke with this community, CLEO Heavy Sniper can kill Juggernaut in 5 shot and one shot blood Ferel with very quiet sound and CLEO Pistol handle the rest, CLEO ammo drop cost just 512 influence so its very cheap and doesn't cost any rucksack supply

[@BlanickGaming]

Pretty solid group

[@amynairn369]

what did Duncan do to you 😂

[@BlanickGaming]

😃

[@Endeav0r723]

i want a red talon regular with white blonde girl but i always got black what are the odds of getting that character im not racist im just tired of seeing my characters all the same.
