They Made the Bracken 10x More TERRIFYING - Lethal Company

[@Insym]

Glad to see it's not just me in the comments here! I feel like they definitely changed something about the bracken. They seem to get stuck all the time now and don't properly retreat, which makes them attack you. They also just attack SUPER fast randomly. It's crazy.

[@nicktheguy_]

brackens haven't been breaking for me personally, but i might just be getting lucky with their pathfinding properly pathfinding, since i see my friends getting unlucky as well

[@SwizzleDrizzl]

That seems more like a bug than a feature, i dont get why zeekerss would alter their already perfect ai

[@PerfectZeroMusic_]

@@SwizzleDrizzl i mean it's probably something that happened while he was changing parts of the map and maybe adjusting monster AI to pathfind them. If there's 1 thing i know about game development is that you can change something in 1 aspect of the game and then a completely different and seemingly separate part of the game breaks for no apparent reason lol

[@Jak0Hun]

Use "PathfindingLagFix" to reduse lag from bracken

[@Jak0Hun]

Also try "Diversity" its completly change bracken (spoiler: you won't die immediately) and ghost girl

[@Zeoni]

I'd love to see more alternate POVs for insane situations! That was so good seeing Thorlar's POV with that insane bracken!

[@Createrz2015]

Cha Cha real smooth

[@ThorlarThorlarian]

I'm still in disbelief it behaved like that!

[@amandaduckett3093]

thorlar's pov while in the kitchen was peak comedy tbh. The way the bracken stopped by the door and started trying to sneak through killed me lmaoo

[@DaemonMunkir]

The Thorlar POV was amazing Pure art

[@Darri3n]

"Spore Lizard show me the way out!" Spore Lizard: This way! *backs left* Jojo: *turns right* Lizard: 👄

[@boffyrox2]

That Bracken sneak @ 5m was insane. If you play frame by frame, you can see him crouching and sneaking past Insym's FOV when he briefly turns left.

[@lemonaded2481]

That right there is why I will ALWAYS have a Pro flashlight. IDC if its not 'meta'

[@081isaac]

@@lemonaded2481 it is meta, its just dunning kruger "pros" that ego the flashlight, but eventually u come to realize a pro flashlight makes looting and assessing rooms much faster

[@derpyturtle1155]

The worst part is that he scanned and it didn’t come up 😭

[@lemonaded2481]

@@derpyturtle1155 Relying on the scanner is a fools gambit. That thing is so jank.

Thorlar deserves so much credit for keeping you alive while bodying the Nutcrackers.

[@rachellee8533]

1:02:41 Insym’s about to go all sweaty on his dead teammates but jojo absolutely shuts him down 💀😂

[@sorcererCermet]

he needs an ego check every now and then so good on jojo

[@Laurideblas]

21:02 the way you just accepted your fate has me cracking up

[@yayohost7201]

Yes, brackens have definitely changed! They are like instant agro when you see them. A bracken on Dine was camping a room and killed 3/4 of us one by one. It was crazy.

[@recompiled2]

Once the bracken enters "fleeing" mode, they'll quickly aggro anyone that blocks their retreat. If another player spots him and he retreats toward you, your only option is to move out of his way or kill him. This also happens if he's fleeing from you and encounters you again while he's still attempting to retreat. The AI treats this as "being cornered". You have a very short amount of time to get out of his way. We always shoot the bracken if we can. He's distracts too much from looting. Shotgun respect is nothing new, but he's been getting better at dodging the shotgun. He'll keep his distance from a loaded shotgun (if the safety is off) and will attack between shots.

[@plasmaturtle212]

20:58 Chat was right Insym seconds later gets snapped by Bracken lol

[@Skeleton_Dork]

14:48 the transition from the door to the ship was CLEAAAN love to see it

[@Eric4bz]

34:30 legendary moment. Like something out of a film.

[@LilPlayz]

This game has so many loud monsters and just so many chaotic noises which makes the bracken even more scarier because its way too quite and horrifying.

[@Mindlessfuturex]

I caught a bracken in the corner of my eye and he got instantly angry and broke my neck and then my friends.. :') I also noticed that he does in fact crouch and creep behind you as well

[@aighty7216]

100% something changed about brakens. I used to be able to deal with them fairly easily since they would leave. But recently they never leave and keep camping spots. Which if it camps a spot where you need to go to you get killed 100% of the time. Ive been trying to go for high quota runs with my friends but we often fail because of a braken that just camps and doesnt leave. Especially annoying on any industrial interior since the halways are to narrow to avoid him.

[@PerfectZeroMusic_]

4:56 you can actually see the bracken's spikes a few frames before it kills him Stealth 100 XD

[@Jujubelle]

>Has 15000 shotguns on the ship > WHAT AN EARTH COULD I POSSIBLY DO ABOUT THIS MIMIC? XD

[@SwizzleDrizzl]

My favorite bracken encounter was when i found a bracken locked in a tiny room, and me and my friends just kept taunting it while it snarled at us while staring through the door

[@maiivii9969]

would love to see more alternatives povs it was so funny to see the bracken craze in the beginning

[@plooprz]

thank you so much for everything you do. u got me into lethal and it helped pull me out of a quiet place and i started playing with my friends. now we play every night and dont get bored of it. much love insym keep it up brotha

[@Klowd9888]

Holy shit that doggo when ya went out was like. "You have something that is my masters" 😂😂

[@KblitzAVF]

For future 10k runs as well, the 'FireExitFlip' mod might save you from events where mobs camping the Fire Exit. It basically fixes that bug whenever you enter the building through a Fire Exit, your POV is initially looking at the door instead of what's inf front of you.

[@eldritch4470]

My friends and I play once a week and we noticed Bracken were being unhinged yesterday. I even had to look up the wiki to reference what I needed to do because we felt like we died no matter how we treated the Bracken. Towards the end of our session we all took shotguns and went to vow to take matters into our own hands.

[@metlspaz1]

i saw a brackeen for around .2 seconds turned away and jumped off the second floor in mansion interior, got my neck snapped mid air. It also just insta killed me every single map where it existed for one of our runs, straight up ignoring others.

[@traviswoodworth]

I hope yall hit 10k soon, good luck

[@ItsIndi01]

2:07:18 I think at least part of the problem is the origin point of the shotguns shot is slightly behind the player, as demonstrated in this clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6GngqGpiM5pqZo

[@rainbowcloudss_]

33:45 that scared the absolute SHIT out of me lmaoo also that clutch with getting on the ship was too close

[@TatohOne]

“Flash” “Thunder” with Mimics like Allies in WW2 to identify friendly and foe.😂

[@trevors.5922]

A game I played the other day I saw his eyes so I knew there was a bracken but I wasnt getting the audio that he recognized me looking at him. He wasnt aggroed onto me(in the big factory room) and just stood crouched in place looking at my friend even as I approached and had visual on it. It chased him not me, killed him and then found out that that was it's favorite room. I casually walked up to it and smacked it to death without it getting mad and was glitched crouching over my friend's body.

[@realityforlorn]

Dude, so glad it's just not me, I've had so many entry room instant bracken necksnaps 15 seconds into the map.

[@whimmi]

Lore accurate Brackens

[@cryst4l_clear456]

Just last night I was playing some Vow with a friend who was only playing for the first time. I go afk for a second to grab my water and have a sip, look back at my screen and I'm staring right at a bracken. It gets pissed off as I'm in the process of looking away and all I hear as me and my friend get to the door is a snap. I was the only one outside after.

[@chanikynes4525]

Bracken is on point ! - he´s a worthy adversary and really making an effort to crush these guys`hopes and dreams ;D

[@Penguin-nr8sq]

Yup I’ve had a few Brackens get insta angry especially on Rend, it’s very stressful lol

[@MrOnionRing]

This is great to watch even if I’ve seen it already on ur livestream lol. Love that thorlar perspective!!!

[@anachronisticlaserbeams4820]

I've been getting a lot of instant rage brackens this week too, I have no idea what's going on...

[@goldendewdrop6488]

they definitely did something did simething to the brachen even in the beginning of his company career ive never seen insym die so much to the brachen xD

[@kennerly8362]

Brackens are unhinged lately! The bracken and coil head combo on rend lately has been insane

[@comb-t]

I love these videos, pleasant watching experience with boring stuff taken out but a HELL of a lot of entertaining content. I'm terrified of those brackens tho wth.

[@IDyn4m1CI]

I almost never have problems dealing with Brackens when I'm on my own, but as soon as there's more people with me, the Bracken will go sicko mode very quickly. Like the other person just have to glance at him for a split second from across a hallway for it to become angry and go after me (because I'm usually closer), and kill me. Also they do tend to get stuck a lot, mainly on dead ends now. Every time you make the Bracken retreat, he'll go back to the same dead end, and that place basically becomes inaccessible. That is specially annoying if that dead end leads to the fire exit, or if there's lots of loot there. Basically you have to kill the Bracken to get there. Idk if it was like this before and I just never noticed it.

[@suborn380]

Brackens have been insane the last day or two for me! I've been so confused because I didn't see any patch notes. Sometimes the bracken will have no one looking at it and it just comes out of nowhere already mad and yoinks someone.

[@DaemonMunkir]

I totally understand the strat with minimal turnin till the quota is above that 600 whatever amount to get 700, but also flashlights

[@raresfinale6915]

They are going for high quota, minimal turn-in gives them more in the long run

[@nikita0211]

Ничего себе, видос на глазах родился)

[@tranquangminh4472]

38:49 there is totally a gold bar that he missed

[@rDaerkeALT]

Yeah… I’ve been having that too. Brackens just seem to wanna break necks within a split second. 😂

[@The_Dig_Site]

I opened a door in a solo game and a braken at the end of the hallway instantly aggro'd on me on a dead end costing me my run. I didn't even think looking at it in a solo could aggro it.

[@PatGo-r8w]

thank god it's not just me and my friends getting this hyper bracken. really feels like it got shadow buffed or something

[@lilpain1997]

We have had both super aggressive brackens and really, really passive ones. My friend never really listens whenever I tell him to not stare at the bracken for too long and he just sat watching it for way longer than he should have been able to. Even running after it... Think he broke them in the update lmao.

[@thedunkdojogaming]

Our brackens are so aggressive that as soon as they come near us we die...

[@ziyuehe5337]

Yeah they've been going crazy recently. My team has gotten completely wiped all because of a bracken

[@KH-uh8pp]

34:34 That's epic

[@XxHumnanxX1]

you can use the teleporter without lifting the glass just crouch and there is a angle right below where the glass starts. where you can just beam them

[@FluffyPupperArt]

just come up with the flu, so im gonna be marathoning all your lethal company videos!! really enjoy these playthroughs!! ☺

[@maybe_Aren]

I played with my brother and sister yesterday and within the first like ten minutes, a bracken spawned right in front of me and almost killed me, then in the next five minutes both my brother and sister got their necks snapped. This was on assurance btw

THE BRAKEN IS GOING INSANEEEEE !!!!!

[@ObsidianIsOk]

Ive stared down a bracken and chased it through the map without it getting pissed off and then sometimes i dont even see it and it charges me

[@Bobibuub]

Lets goo ima watch all of this

[@RedBeardedJoe]

The Braken has Definitely changed

[@belial_day]

Yo Insym! What about trying to use the mod that changes the Jester windup music to "Free Bird"?

[@risingtoastcheesecake4730]

Are you going to try Dine as well? Dine kind off feels like worse Rend with a more annoying fire exit, possible turrets, less nutcrackers and generally more danger while costing more and having barely more loot. I really feel like Dine needs some love

[@davidmcgill1000]

Hadn't thought about it, but do the mimics spawn with any suit besides the orange one? Should make it apparent when one is around if everyone else is a different color.

[@Zeoni]

Naturally spawned mimics only spawn orange. Player converted ones will have whatever the player was wearing. Insym's crew often go "piss gang" (wear yellow suits) to help distinguish.

[@Gnomelander1400]

@@Zeoniand also yellow is bright color, easy to spot unlike dark green

[@wahspr]

love your vids bro keep up the good work ❤

[@toastr1255]

Why were they closing doors on the jester? Does opening a door reset its speed? I thought it just barged through them like a thumper.

please do a solo challenge where you have to stay until atleast 10pm

[@akitaris326]

Yeah i have the bracken instantly aggro sometimes and theres nothing you can do lol

[@zapatillaasesina5582]

the theory about the jester shield doesn't works at all, i was once picking some loot with a jester by my side, when a friend shooted the jester by an unknown reason, hitting me just behind the jester and killing me

[@Trashlord88]

I agree Brackens must have been buffed

[@aDustyGuy]

can i get the name of the mod that you use for the scanning how much is on the ship please?

[@SuperAmazingJared]

Hey, I noticed you're crouching past eyeless dogs, did you know that if you spam crouch while sprinting you can actually silently sprint past them? It's super easy to do, I mapped my mouse button 3 to crouch but you can do it with whatever control scheme is most comfortable

[@devlovemongoose]

in previous videos he's tested this out and has claimed that he does not like the way it feels more like an exploit than a feature. that's why he doesn't use it

[@SuperAmazingJared]

@@devlovemongoose That's entirely fair, I think it'll most likely get patched in the future.

[@Insym]

It's an exploit. We have decided not to use it to keep the game more balanced (with this exploit you completely remove dogs from the game which is just stupid). And yes it will most likely be fixed soon.

[@SuperAmazingJared]

@@Insym oh yo you replied sick! love your videos :) Also I made a Lethal Company Bingo, I dunno if you guys like doing challenge run-esque kinda stuff or if you're only into high quota runs, but I've been playing bingos a lot and I think y'all would enjoy it! I came up with like, 60 different challenges that can be randomized onto the board, it really makes you play the game in a unique way.

[@mikeriley2475]

Just a thought, i've only started watching your content for a little while now and i'm not entirely familiar with your older stuff. Have you considered using your vast experience and knowledge of phasmophobia to create a beginners guide/tutorial series? Assuming the people who'll be watching don't know the first thing about the game? Not just playing through the tutorial but also explaining various things like, how to hide, how to hunt, how the various pieces of equipment work and how the different ghosts work and how they behave? Say, some basic stuff and then some advanced stuff? could be a boost to the game! With launch coming up, maybe/maybe not, this year?
