Movement speed is not listed, but "MOVE SPEED" is fifth from the top, between "DODGE" and "DAMAGE".

[@derikduley7806]

To be fair, the game also completely lacks EXP but Wander is always looking for it.

[@boisq97]

@@derikduley7806 yeah, theres no EXP, but there is "XP GAIN", and an xp bar

[@Chrisjohnharrison]

This was so unbelievably refreshing to watch after watching asmongolds two 3 hour videos of hitting red sugar when on full health.

[@nielagi5029]

You have to prep them for emergencies

[@RexHangmanK2K]

I love seeing wander doing a "insert word KZbin hates" (Series) on this game 😂

[@robm6726]

I agree, it's nice to have consistent videos of games I like to co.e back to. So many different indie games I'm not s fan of sadly. I'll watch for a couple minutes and think, no thanks. I'm really getting this one and I'll probably pick it up😊

[@Slowp0w]

I always save the supply pod drop to instantly execute the bosses, if you have a slow or weak build going it helps a lot! The last lvl 5 boss only takes 25% damage from the drop pod.

[@emberos]

3rd sub-class of Scout - the Sharp Shooter with the M1000 has been how I'm pushing higher hazards. Mainly because of the gun and the fact they start with it - that gun overclocked does work piercing through the higher health bugs in those hazard levels.

[@Tyiriel]

That gun is busted even without a lot of upgrades The autocannon is also ridiculous when you get it to 18 - just mows whatever it hits down like they're common mobs

[@GreaseCrease]

You’re probably aware by now - but even if enemies somehow jump off the edge, the teleport back into the playable area almost instantly

[@mistadopeman]

I like Driller a lot. The engineer is awesome. Watching all those turrets follow me around is so satisfying. I just don’t like sticking to one spot. But when it’s all working properly, the engineer is so awesome.

[@craigfunk3453]

Its also kinda crazy how fast some mining directive turrets can tear a map apart (krakatoa turrets with mining directive have their beams pierce terrain instead of being stopped dead by it, and LMG turrets at lvl 18 you always take the 150% fire rate boost overclock, basically lasers at that point)

[@mistadopeman]

@@craigfunk3453 The game is a blast.

[@DennisRyu]

Boomerang has incredible overclocks. Can make it pick up xp orbs which sort of makes magnets obsolete. Especially useful on the engineer if you go deployable.

[@GingeroFee]

Shotgun engineer all the way, the turrets are smal toys compared to the warhog

[@crazedxfighter]

engineer with fire rate shreds anything especially with plasma shots

[@thatoneguy.788]

Do I hear a rock 'n' stone?

[@danielgulbransen8476]

I've been sticking to hazard 1 and 2 to max out all the weapons and unlock stuff, in order to make the higher difficulties "easier". That way I don't need to worry about leveling up a particular weapon just to unlock its overclocks

[@solsroles]

Boomerang has a wild overclock where it will picks tuff up for you

[@BobMcBobJr]

Another more subtle advantage of paint job is that it reduces the gun upgrades need to perk up the weapon allowing you to spare an all weapon upgrade instead of a single weapon upgrade. So paint job every time it is the highest rarity upgrade and sometimes even if it's not.

[@Dragoderian]

It is probably worth it grabbing extra blooms or boolo caps because they give you XP for picking them up.

[@WhatWillYouFind]

1st. I feel that the DRILLER probably has the best loadout. He has both fast and slow single target damage, MULTIPLE stationary and moving AOE dot weapons that do millions of damage each run. Driller has been the most consistent and most rewarding to play, Scout was my main in DRG so that surprised me. Theres a feeling of wonder leaving every stage with so much gold and nitra, allowing my to buy multiple levels worth of perks. The grenade skills need a massive sweeping buf, they go everywhere and almost never on groups of enemies with punitively long cooldowns. I played the scout for a couple of successful runs, but I always felt under powered even after getting overlocks.

[@dodang_9147]

I think it is because scout is meta progression character. His level 3 passive is "gain 15% crit, increase crit damage by 50%". if you max green tree in meta progression, you get 12% crit and 48% crit damage for maxing out green tree. The gameplay for scout is to max his crit chance to 100%. Scout has 200% crit and he gains 300% base crit damage. There is an artifact that increases crit chance by 30%, crit damage by 100% but reduces damage by 30 and an artifact that makes you gain crit chance for Nitra you hold. I think his overclock not as overpowered because his crit synergy virtually increases his damage output by 4x. so even level 1 grenade is going to be hitting like a truck.

[@hansdampf640]

nice rogue-like,definetly gonna play that one!

[@phirren]

if you think scout is OP, the engineer starting with the shotgun is unbelievable OP with the plasma upgrade. if you stand facing a wall the shots hit twice as much from the bouncing.. i literally melted the hazard 4 dreadnought in about 8 seconds.

[@lumbahrye]

Love the series ❤ Would you mind reducing the volume of the voice-lines? They're loud, way too frequent for my taste, and quite obnoxious 😅 Either way, thank you for great entertainment as usual 😁

[@MxJavice]

Level up scout and get the last class kit and go in on the M1000, 100% crit I've seen it crit for over 1500 dmg 4 shotting a hazard 2 juggernaut, it's pretty crazy.

[@lauri167]

I want to see more of this game.

[@BansheeN0rn]

Anyway to disable the dwarf chatter? I think itll get really annoying if i play too much of this

[@epope98]

driller is the most broken, sludgepump op and if you build into it you can just run everywhere and everything dies

[@craigfunk3453]

Sludge pump is the nest acid weapon definitely. I mostly use it to keep everything taking higher damage from the wave cooker (especially a nano wave OC boosted wave cooker) those 2 alone essentially melt everything, leaving 2 slots purely for support or even something like a krakatoa turret built with reload speed while hoping for mining directive and tank treads so you have them mining for you

[@atakanmercan]

On throwing runs, this game kind of forces you to throw to unlock the weapons full potential. Best upgrades are generally overclocks. Probably my only gripe with the game.

[@ScardiMard]

you can one shot the boss by dropping the supply drop on his head.

[@MrMucera]

Not sure if the video shows it at some point but you can use the support drop pod to insta kill elites. Also the ones that spawn on a timeline. EDIT: So he did just that about 10 seconds after i finished writing my comment. Also, Scout rocks.

[@chrisswanepoel7389]

The mechanics on this game seem really solid; on the flip side, the content is still a bit sparse, especially on the side objectives, end boss, etc. The DRG polish and quality does set it apart in a good way

[@bthsr7113]

Today's lesson: Less naysaying and being pessimistic about runs.

[@gnobel]

Well timed supply drops are op

[@flyndutchmn]

Rock and Stone!

[@Bakstabbah]

Gunner basic 1st class and stack up kinetic fast shooting weapons. Insanity

[@vonhenry7087]

This. I can't figure out the driller at all yet. And the scout I'm not quite patient enough to play (to set him up right). Engineer just starting to 'get". But the gunner, Weapons Specialist, is like EZMode (as long as I remember to manage my health properly, now and I think I get caught off guard cause i tanked a bit TOO much)

[@dodang_9147]

@@vonhenry7087 driller is farming character, you just stack movement speed on him with driller passive and wander around the map mining nitra. he's meant to be played with that passive where you increase damage by 2% for reducing your m/s by 0.5 m/s.

great game

[@Shiby23]

The grind in this game is soooo obnoxious. 29:00 how many hours did you put in for your power up passives to look that way? I'm at 9 hours and they're all 2-3 at best. beating the boss doesn't seem to reward you so like you said, taking a dive might be the way to level up i guess? power fantasy just kinda sucks in the game imo :(

[@craigfunk3453]

I'm only a couple of days worth of playtime into survivor and when I wanted to focus on my upgrades (they are all 3 or 4 upgrades from what seems to be max) I went foreman driller and just tore maps apart for resources (adding in the nitra/gold scanners help) sometimes turrets can roll the mining directive overclock which can let an engineer mine even faster than a driller. You just need to focus more heavily into resources than pure combat while still being quick. Driller running the wave cooker with a nano waves overclock essentially does all the work damage wise so you can focus more heavily into things like move/mining speed and pick up radius

[@iTankSometimes]

Its a dreadnought, not Atheon...

[@MacAoi]

Someone get me this please

[@tonykaze]

ha, wait until you see sharpshooter (level 3 class unlock for scout). completely ridonculous. Add the Thik Boi (maxed M10000) and you're gonna see JRPG numbers on screen. Add Fire on your M1000 and you've broken the game.

[@merryexmus]

lmao I thought Scout was the weakest, maybe I need to do more testing

[@dodang_9147]

from my testing, gunner feels like weakest. Juggernaut class makes no sense. you have TAKE damage to deal damage which is just terrible concept which also comes with easily worst starting weapon. The first class is kinda meh. you get really long reloading weapon that require a lot of levels to be good but only becomes average. His level 3 mod is that he can use heavy weapons... which allow him to use some of weapons of Driller but why bother with that if you can just play driller...

[@aripreprop]

wait,, no multiplayer?
