I like the idea of maps putting mega cities in the wastelands full of everything you will ever need if you have the guts to go for it. Multiple book stores for any series not complete yet, multiple savage countries for all the legendary parts you will ever want, and every tier 5 poi in the game. I loved that athletics area, it was meant to be cleared by a sniper. And watching you stealth handle massive crowds, it makes me want to see the next series being full scale 80s action hero build. Full automatic weapons, a giant sledge or steel club to smash the swarms aside, the heaviest of armors designed to help avoid critical injuries, and just charging face first into armies of undead. "So my entire compass turned red from the sheer number of dots, so what? That just means my machine gun cant miss!" /brrrrrrrrrrt!

[@BuckStedmanTV]

i absolutely love watching the stealth gameplay as well. inspires me to play slower myself

[@jimdob6528]

My issue is in 20 random gen worlds I did I turned on DB mode and opened locations 68% of the book stores were only in the wastelands major cities. I would like a bit more variety honestly. Currently I feel the need to rush a mini bike then just hitting the wasteland major cities and just looting these bookstores. I truly hate the crafting magazine system they introduced and I am a man who adores Korean rpg games for the insane grind they always have. RNG seems too prevalent in this game now.

[@CanisBlume]

[@MrMagyar5]

Get a sniper rifle. It's amazing for this exact experiment. It's absolutely insane for killing at a massive distance very safely. If you get the AP ammo and enough perk points, you can actually open walls to get shots from quite the distance :) This is going to be my next experiment.

[@reallybadgamer]

One other thing I found when doing POI's in stealth, I try to avoid ladders, ropes, etc. but rather nerd pole in stealth mode (parkour level 2+) if possible and jump down crouching. Ladders and ropes do wake the sleepers nearby unfortunately but they will easily lose you though. I guess if they didn't wake on ladders, etc. the assassins' set would be totally OP vs. just a little OP. :)

Since I'm catching the series rather irregularly, and haven't familiarized myself with v1.0 much yet, I'm gonna have to rewatch this whole series 😊 The armor set bonuses seem interesting and a way to encourage varied playstyles. Just wondering if there is a potential min-max approach for bonuses, should be interesting to find out.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

My min-max approach is to have a mining set (to avoid having to take strength points), the nerd outfit for reading magazines, and preacher gloves. Those are my must-haves

[@chrishubbard64]

He has a video breaking down what each armor item does and ranking them in his opinion as to usefulness. So you could watch that and take notes to decide what sort of build you are after. But in general there is a set of gear for every play style.

'Could my day get any better?' The extact same words I said before dying on my permadeath run lol

[@egatino8212]

I think that Mino is hardest new POI in game, did t6 recently without sneak and it was insane. POI zombies and screamer hordes just bursting on me, ended with every possible debuff in game I could get and burned insane amount of ammo. Grover High is also insane, but you can snack out loot from main stash easily, just break door outside.

[@unhingedpromax]

i was at the edge of my seat the whole episode man! when the music started my heartrate immediately going up haha. T6 level of editing!

[@MrMagyar5]

I've been experimenting with the different armor types and their effectiveness in combat. My baseline is a Str build with sledges, and perception for sniper rifles. I run tier VI infested clears as loudly as possible pulling as many zombies at a time as I can using explosives, movement, etc. I tested the Preacher full set and the Raider full set. I have to say, the Preacher set held up nicely, but I did get down to about 80/160 health. The set is very good. The raider set was unbelievable. I ran the Crack A Book, running through all three top levels to pull everyone and the bottom 3 levels pulling everyone and the Raider set held up like a monster. I dropped to 137/161. It was a BEAST of a set. I plan to try out the other sets as well, but now that I've got to lvl 60+ and have almost all the books read, I don't know if the nerd helmet/chest combo is worth it any more. Reducing the chance of critical hits and being immune to stun is amazing with the raider set. I do miss the Biker boots for the stamina cost reduction, but only when I pull 50-60 at a time.

[@MrMeatloafsndwch]

You must have had a half a hit point at one point at the end because it showed 0 on your HP bar. Clutch bandage on your part tho.

[@fedevillar6972]

Hey, hi! Now in 1.0 you can hold Alt and Click on your inventory to set favorited slots, so they dont get sorted on your inventory, this could be good for ammo and healings =)

Yah, on another channel I was telling him Preacher gloves are great, but the Assassin full suit is untouchable. Agility is the 1.0 build.

[@BiffTech05]

I did a tier 5 clear today where there was a blip I couldn't find. I was like, "where the hell is it? I'm like right on top of it! Ugh..." and then I looked down. I was literally right on top of it, standing on it...

[@engineeringtheapocalypse]

Stealth is really an option in this edition. That wasn't really the case in the alphas.. so that's good.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

I've seen people like Prebuilt using stealth effectively in older Alphas, but it was kind of tedious. Now it's too easy... lol

[@engineeringtheapocalypse]

@@GunsNerdsandSteel Correct. It was usable but trigger rooms left you without defense. This is better now. But you're right, they might have overdone it.

[@JustIn-mu3nl]

A13 or 14 you could literally tap dance on a zombies head with stealth, the FP go all over the shop with stealth, sometimes it's OP, sometimes it sucks.

[@heliumphoenix]

@@engineeringtheapocalypse - Trigger volumes are limited by their nature (they are computationally expensive) so they're usually only a few "unavoidable" blocks on entering a room NORMALLY. If you use frames or bypass the usual entry, you can often avoid them. The tricky part is recognizing those spots.....in the previous few alphas for stealth to be truly effective, you had to learn how to NOT set off the triggers. Knowing where they are for a given POI, or recognizing likely spots in POIs you don't know, and using that knowledge to bypass them worked very well. Still does. BUT, sometimes it takes WAY too much time to do that at every possible trigger point. I stealthed T5 POIs in alphas 19-22, with virtually NO zombie waking up and with almost zero risk......but it typically took me 2-3 DAYS to finish it. It was a VERY slow process, because if you messed up, you were in deep crap. Because being stealthy meant T6 padded or T6 Military with Adv. Muffled Connector mods in all the pieces (except the military stealth boots), and even with a Banded Armor Mod in each as well your protection was limited and you couldn't take many hits.

[@engineeringtheapocalypse]

@@heliumphoenix I know. Learning POIs by heart is something that happens to us addicts ;-) ... But as you explained, a lot of effort and prior knowledge was required and you couldn't really make up your errors. This is why I think it's more viable now - to the point of being too strong (breaking line of sight and immediately losing all zombies is a bit OP)

[@kingGrubz]

Those zombie bears can drop the red bags, definitely worth the time and ammo

[@jenell73]

I love the level 6 complete set in POI. The moment the zombies lost line of sight from me, they’ll forget about me

[@davecisneros5285]

Thank you for doing assassin outfit! I've been waiting to see the decreased search time in action and it's what I hoped it would be like. This means we can maintain sneak even if triggering a whole room. Awesome!

[@Gochen86]

The Minotaur was pretty gnarly in all the right ways. I gotta say, the undead coming outta the floor access had me instantly hearing one of the oldest gaming lines I can remember: *"RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!"*

[@koolaidsrequiem9646]

Your foray into the athletic center and Minotaur theater went a lot better than mine. I use all my ammo in my inventory in each POI and had to finish about half of the zombies in the final areas with melee, while standing on a wall or something. Almost dying multiple times. Keep the chaos and the content coming.👍🏼

[@IrradiatedMushroom]

The other legendary part should either wait for a t6 smg or get t6 nerd armor, 50% chance to double skill mags is a massive boon!

[@icehotgaming]

Good job on the minataur - i did that as a T6 a couple days back, and it kicked my ass, i wasn't doing stealth though, should try that next time!

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

I can't imagine doing these places without stealth now... If I had to kill this many zombies by traditional means (full auto firearms, explosives, etc.) I'd probably clear them out a lot faster. But the heat generation would create a cycle of screamers that would complicate the whole operation, not to mention having to face down a dozen rads at once.

[@Marc_von_Hoffrichter]

Man that theater was the most intense POI I've ever seen, and the reward was so MEH! Well done mate, cheers cobber.

[@reallybadgamer]

In my current stealth game on day 40, during the day I wear lvl 6 scavenger outfit (+10 backpack), preacher gloves (+60% damage to undead) and nomad boots (+20% run speed) and usually the rogue hood. Then, I also carry the nerd helmet for reading books, minors outfit for mining (optional) and at night or during a quest swap to a full lvl 6 assassin set and have the book to open all backpack slots. All fully max modded with noise reduction and speed increases, lights, where possible along with water purification mods in all the helmets. Seems to be a great combinations for both day and night and it's so cool to see the 99 (!) % "become hidden" faster. Like you were saying, you can shoot them over and over (espc at night) and they don't even know they are being attacked. I carry them all with me either on my person or motorcycle cause I'm terrible at remembering to bring stuff. Maybe someone knows of a better combination for swapping to and from stealth but so far this has been great.

[@davidgillon2762]

My first legendary part spent went into a Tier 6 pistol, which looks like it will work really well with an assassin setup.

[@GunsNerdsandSteel]

I don't regret it one bit. The pistol can handle any zombie and generates almost 0 heat so I don't have any screamers to deal with.

[@heliumphoenix]

The pistol is extremely quiet when silenced. The Desert Vulture is louder, even when silenced. How much more, with full perks and top-tier Assassin gear I have yet to determine. I'm getting close. I'm hoping with full Assassin armor at Q6 that the silenced Dulture will still be usable at 4 to 5 blocks distance without waking other Z's. The regular Pistol can be used at almost point blank without waking a nearby Z, as long as it is a single shot. Unfortunately, even with full perks and Q6 Pistol with 4 mods, its still not enough to take out most feral zombies with a single stealth headshot. The Dulture should be able to easily double to triple the damage of the Pistol, so if it's not excessively more noisy, it should make the Assassin build much more competent. I'd hate for the Dulture to be relegated to "horde night only" status because it's just too loud, even silenced.

I kept running into similar issues as you have, where you would just cross some invisible line and suddenly hordes of zombies would “see” me and attack. Then I was left with a wimpy pistol to defend myself or was using the machete. This started happening a lot on tier 4+ quests. I was then asking myself, why am I playing stealth if it does not really work well? Maybe it will work great if you have the full T6 assassin set, but that is asking a lot to get that level to really get it to work well. Instead I started a new game and did my standard brawler build using the raider set. Once I got tier 5 and even more so with tier 6 armor, it is like I am unkillable. Just take my vitamins, have some medical supplies to deal with critical injuries, and have a stack of beer and I am good to go. Tier 6 infested clear? Yeah, that is a piece of cake. I notice you are avoiding those. I am still interested to see how well it plays out once you get your final t6 assassin piece. I think it will suddenly work a lot better. Still though, I think the stealth mechanics need improvements. Overall I like 1.0 a lot, but those trader rewards really suck. Like a single meat stew for a t5 infested clear as a reward option? Also ducking zombies are ridiculous. Sometimes they crawl under my character, pushing me upwards and get behind me. Also they sometimes push me through solid walls. I was in some tower PoI, in a corner punching my way through a huge horde and suddenly I was pushed outside of the tower, falling quite far down. They need to fix bugs like that, also zombies hitting you through solid walls. Also legendary weapons are not worth it unless you have no use for your legendary crafting items. They really should get a big boost over the T5 non-legendary version.

I have found so many floating arrows and bolts. Even before this update. It’s always weird because they are usually in areas I hadn’t been before.

I thought you were a goner when you got surrounded. Nicely done!

It’s super worth getting the t6 nerdy amour!! It goes from 25% bonus chance to 50%! Definitely worth the one legendary part:)

Horde night is funny with sneak, because they know 100% where you are... but you can still get sneak damage because they haven't detected you yet.

Be nice if there were some kind of trailer you could tow around for extra storage space.
