Non-DLC Loadout Design: Bow Before Me | The Last of Us Online Multiplayer

[@TayterLynMtNSYiYST]

I enjoyed this so much! The bow is one of my top favorites, so it's exciting to see a bow loadout that I'd love to try. I remember seeing another bow video of yours a bit back and you showed that you could shoot someone from behind cover. I ended up trying it the next day and ended up downing a guy :,) It's a pretty cool trick. Nice video 👏🏻

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thank you, Taylor! Yes, the Bow is a phenomenal weapon...of you can master it. I haven’t, and so it’s not my go-to weapon, but getting downs with it may be the most rewarding of any of the weapons in the game! The “hit behind cover” thing is certainly real, and a huge benefit for those brave enough to use a Bow. Thanks again for all of your support lately, much appreciated! 😁🙌🏻💥

[@TayterLynMtNSYiYST]

TLOU Strategist Heck yeah man :,) And Of course!

[@omaniagosto8027]

Wonderful! The amount of depth and fun you put into these loadouts truly amazes me! I know I haven't been around that much. I've been feeling pretty shitty recently (excuse my language). Watching this video brightened me up just little! You have a gift, Strats! Use it wisely! I'll be going off now. Much love! 💪❤

[@omaniagosto8027]

John W I don't hate Strats. Only Nick, man. I would never hate Strats.

[@TLOUStrategist]

Sorry to hear you’ve been down, Omani. I sincerely hope things turn around for you! 😊🙏🏻 Take care, man!

[@omaniagosto8027]

John W Actually...Nick is just acts like he's "positive" to hide his actual shittiness. You won't understand because you are young.

[@omaniagosto8027]

TLOU Strategist Thank you Strats. ❤👌

[@dinotrent1301]

Good vid cuzzzz I to SUCK with the bow but for some reason I love using it lol gg

[@coryasmith3419]

No problem. Big fan, love your videos!

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thanks so much, Cory! I’m stoked! 😁🙌🏻💥

[@Deathwish36018]

+TLOU Strategist Oh man! This loadout rocks! Like this matches my slightly overaggressive play-style and has given me so much variety with equipment as well as the shottys and the bow. Thanks for acknowledging my comment and getting this video out so quickly and even including my comment from the last vid! I understand where you’re coming from in the beginning that most people rush bow users but at the same time I disagree with you when you stated that it isn’t the most suitable weapon against a burst or VR as 9/10 times you can pick them off with a headshot or two or you’re tactical and smart with your equipment. Thanks again for making this video and getting it out so quickly. 😁👍😉

[@TLOUStrategist]

You’re welcome, DW! 😊👍🏻 I had to get creative and making it a two-fold class was one way around that. I can’t speak for you, as you could be a supremely gifted Bow user... but from my experience I’ve found that, head to head, the Bow users rarely get the best of me with their Bow. Usually my VR/Burst/9mm staggers them enough that they don’t land the headshot, and I down them. Now users usually get me with covert flanks, not with straight challenges. 😉👍🏻

[@raymondvillegas6641]

Hey tlou strategist nice vid thank you for using the bow ps love it when you say hello everyone tlou strategist

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thanks, Raymond! I might have to use the Bow more often...this was fun! 😊👍🏻

[@chadkensington5558]

Thanks for this loadout TLOU. Bow is defiantly my second favourite weapon

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thanks, Chad! It is certain lethal in the right hands! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😁👍🏻

[@kylegoins4084]

Awesome to see a bow loadout from you, T-Strats! It's a tricky weapon to get the hang of but incredible if you figure out the flow.

[@TLOUStrategist]

It sure is! High learning curve...high reward! Since I like changing up my weapons often, I’ve never really sat down and tried to use the Bow for a long stretch of time. In a fan of it tho...for sure! 😁👍🏻

[@lthewolfl]

Your Calm Is So Amazing i be screaming For that molov and stuff

[@TLOUStrategist]

zWolf MazTeRz Haha, I try! 😊👍🏻

[@mitchellmayne5002]

Awesome to see some bow gameplay T-strats !

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thanks, Mitchell...certainly a rarity for me, but still fun! 😊👍🏻

[@hubertpelletier5197]

Sometime you make them look they want to be taken on photo...i cant!! good video!

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thanks, Hubert! 😁👍🏻

[@turkeysub8849]

BOW love!!! Great vid tstrats, shorty + bow combo really covers both short and long range very well. Love these non dlc loadouts! Double barrel is NOT op!! You are!

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thank you, Turkey! 😁🙌🏻💥 You’re a much better bowman than myself, that’s for sure! 😂 I do like the challenge of putting together a Non-DLC Bow loadout...with no covert. Limited and tricky, but yes, the shorty and bow are a great little combo for covering your bases. 😉👍🏻

[@Beth-zy4wb]

Another great video! 🙌 I’m not too good with the bow and I always say I’ll practice with it more... I never do. Will try this load out sometime ☺️🙌

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thanks, Beth! I appreciate you saying that! I’m usually not very good with the Bow...but on this day, my aim was true! 😊👍🏻

[@susababyy]

Lovely video as always :)

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thank you, Susa...appreciated! 😊🙏🏻

[@TryingToVibe-w4q]

Awesome video dude,really enjoyed it. Im uploading a Bow video my self. Anyway keep on keeping on Tlou, your content is some awesome.

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thanks, Storm! The bow can be really tricky...especially for me! Others have mastered it and it’s a thing of beauty. Really great to watch a skilled bow user. 😉👍🏻

[@toddi412]

Thanks for the vid! I‘m not good with the bow, but I‘ll give your loadout a try.

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thanks, Toddi! I’m usually not very good with it either! 😂👍🏻

[@Tintifax06]

A bow in the right hands is just amazing- unfortunately mine are not the right ones... well played Strategist 👍

[@TLOUStrategist]

Haha, Tinti! 😂 Tbh, mine usually aren’t the right hands either! 😂👌🏻

[@TatsuHolly]

Your laugh is soo awesome!

[@TLOUStrategist]

OptimusOctopus Thank you! 😂😆👍🏻

[@どこかに行って-v7z]

t-strats, you're bow-mazing

[@TLOUStrategist]

Awww, you’re too kind, Ponichii! 😊🙏🏻 You’re pretty amazing yourself!

[@どこかに行って-v7z]

TLOU Strategist appreciate ya! 😭😄

[@MadMatt41]

You never got your Bow gesture off. Shame that would have been so fitting too. Great game for a tough loadout though Stratergist. Bow is another weapon that is so satifying but frustrating to use when you aim is off. Usually means certain death for me. And man what was up with your team mates that game??? They seemed to hang around you like flys on a hot summers day. It made me laugh. Another thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining video man. "Keep em comin"

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thanks, Matt! I actually did get the Bow gesture off...at 13:32 😉👍🏻 Yeah, my teammates were VERY fun shy in this match..especially at the end when they seemingly just followed me around the map. After that sudden shotgun rampage, my opponents decided to pack it up and keep their distance to take the win. Fair enough...can’t win them all...especially not single-handedly. 😉👍🏻

[@MadMatt41]

Oh yeah so you did. How the heck did I miss that? My bad. I remember you mentioning it during the game at some point. I don't blame your opponents for backing off. WOW that was a brutal rampage with the Shotgun! Way to devastating for my liking that gun. I have honestly only ever ran with it once in all this time. At 4 Loadout points and the cost of parts to buy it and the ammo too, the Double Barrel for me is a great alternative at close range. Or maybe Im just being a cheapskate :-) Nor have I ever used the HR......... EVER! But that is the case for most shooters I have played. It does'nt suit my style of play. The Burst Rifle is the only other weapon I don't use anymore, coz quite frankly I really really sucked with that gun. Rage quiting was usually the result of tryng to use it. Anyhoo, enough from me. Take care have a good week and look forward to your next video............. and VR Bros???

[@JR-ke3pn]

At 5:41 did you see that guy on the left window

[@TLOUStrategist]

😆😂 No! That guy was creepin’! 😂👌🏻💦

[@DoobySnoop]

Wow I’m early..... if I was here 11 hours ago XD another great video gg

[@TLOUStrategist]

Anytime is a good time, Miss Squidly! Thank you so much! 😊👍🏻

[@Sharkweek-im7cw]

Aww man, I've been taking a break from tlou MP but this bow gameplay makes me wanna hop back on immediately. I'm so bad with the bow, but the (few) kills I get are so satisfying 😊 great video!! Love the versatility you have 👍

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thank you! Yup! I can understand taking a break...it’s important, and yes, there can be some very toxic elements that make taking a break easy. Thank you for your kindness...can’t wait to play with a party of teammates like you again soon! 😊🙏🏻

[@Sharkweek-im7cw]

TLOU Strategist sounds fantastic! This is such a team-oriented game, just a couple good communicators make all the difference. A full party would be a dream!

[@TLOUStrategist]

Agreed! 😁👍🏻

[@Arman_Ali66]

And that is where big daddy comes into play

[@TLOUStrategist]

arman ali Yup! Big daddy time! 💥😵💥 😂👍🏻

[@Movieholicable]

Hey my man, I told you this year is the year of the bow! 😎 And btw that's my fav loadout name of all time 🤗 and you done so well (not bad at all)...but truth be told I don't use covert or agility with it either, I am actually less aggressive when I am coverting 😜 but that happens with all weapons too 🤔 lol. Peace.

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thank you, Movie! I’m so glad you enjoyed this one...yeah the Bow feels amazing when you’re locked in and have the shot down. Very rewarding downs! 😊👍🏻

[@bradytran6619]

Cool Video

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thank you, Brady! I appreciate you saying that! Thanks again for watching and commenting! 😁👍🏻

[@JohnJones-pn2vx]

Great video dude, and yes the bow can hit you behind some cover but is it cause it has that arc to it? Not sure but I did see Jocomats video as well, they are great at this game too

[@TLOUStrategist]

John Jones Yup, I think the dipping arc allows it to fall behind cover and tag enemies you can’t see. 😉👍🏻

[@EmptyVessel197]

Love seeing the bow come out. The bow was corny as heck but I liked it.

[@TLOUStrategist]

Haha, thanks Rich! 😉👍🏻

[@DerVamt]

If you ask me Brawler 2 is a bit of an anti-synergy in this loadout (I would try to swap it with ee 2 + second chance 1)

[@TLOUStrategist]

DerVammt Yeah, I can see that...unfortunately Second Chance is DLC. The actual number of non-DLC is surprisingly limited. 😉👍🏻

[@DerVamt]

Oh, I forgot about the Non-DLC part

[@TLOUStrategist]

DerVammt No worries! 😊👍🏻Making a Non-DLC loadout can be quite tricky!

[@gandollum]

Hey TLOU-Strategist, I am watching your videos for a while now and have to say I like them for your calm commentary besides the gameplay! Nothing seems to stress you out, which gives your videos some very special flair! But there is one thing, in this video in particular, which bugs me out a lot! At 14:35 in this video you complain about your teammates stealing your execution! I understand that it’s frustrating, I hate it too when someone does it to me! But I see you stealing executions on a frequent base! As I said, I am watching your videos whenever they come up! I play this game a lot and sometimes I agree with ‘stealing’ execution when the situation asks for it for example when there is a chance that the downed enemy gets picked up by his teammates and your teammate who downed him is already dead! But this is not always and as I said, I see you doing it a lot! Anyway, keep up the work, looking forward to see more loadouts! Stay safe

[@TLOUStrategist]

Fuelinfusion333 Haha, for sure...o do my fair share of stealing...but as far as my stealing/stolen ratio goes...I’ve still had way more stolen...by a landslide. I was frustrated with it at that point as my teammates were A) hiding in the back, not helping B) Wasting their ammo on a downed player while others were still up and C) I was trying to get some armor...I could’ve had a combined +250 from those two executions, instead, nothing. But yeah, there are good times to ensure the enemy doesn’t get picked up! 😉👍🏻

[@LordGilly]

Like Strats Good loadout👍 well i suck using the bow... but i apreciate you use the bow because... i see how other using that bow And now i try using the bow once more... I love your videos 👍 Like😉👍 (My inglish...is not good x2 :v)

[@tloubrandon246]

Thanks for posting today, TLOU Strategist. Also, could you make or just tell me a loadout, when I am having a off day playing The Last of Us MT?

[@TLOUStrategist]

Hmmm, off day huh, TLOU Brandon? Maybe a covert burst or VR class with agility 2, FAT 1, and EE1. 😉👍🏻

[@tloubrandon246]

TLOU Strategist - Ok, thank you SO much.

[@TLOUStrategist]

You’re quite welcome! 😊👍🏻

[@chadkensington5558]

Why do people need to dislike? You subscribe to this channel to see TLOU gameplay

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thanks for the comment, Chad! Tbh, they’re not real dislikes...just a group of trolls who disliked without watching. There were some seconds after the video was released. I guess it makes them feel good, haha. 😂👍🏻

[@Robert-bm3pb]

I'm not good with the bow but it is fun and I use it from time to time. Its one of those weapons im not that great with but on rare occasions I can have a night with beastly games and the next day I use it I am horrible with it.

[@TLOUStrategist]

Agreed! When it’s on, it’s awesome...but other times going against aggressive players with Bursts/VRs...I get rekt, badly.

[@rocknzombie1346]

the double barrel is legend. I have no clue what the world has against it. #MoreDoubleBarrel

[@TLOUStrategist]

I hear ya man! 😁🙌🏻💥

[@Aj-zr1ux]

Why do you combo the Molotov with the bomb isn’t it a waste or is it really op, btw just asking

[@TLOUStrategist]

Azizi Al-Zaabi It’s one of the best combos in the game, IMO. Throw the bomb first, then immediately throw the molly on top of it...a quick and devastating explosion for sure. 😉👍🏻 Several examples scattered throughout my videos.

[@Need_Binding]

Mr. BowJangles!

[@TLOUStrategist]

😂🤣😆👌🏻💦💦💦 I like that! Good one! 😂

[@bradytran6619]

Would it be good if I switch the shorty with the executioner

[@TLOUStrategist]

Only if you’re for sure able to get the downs...the shorty is pretty OP tbh. 😉👍🏻

[@bradytran6619]

TLOU Strategist Thanks for the advice

[@paulkue4717]

Do a shorty loadout trying to get use to it

[@Clipsfr32]

Amazing loadouts and use this loadout please 9mm Hr Fat 1 And any perk u want And military sniper And yes do the non cover no agility and be always awesome 👏 and use the bow more y are good with it

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thanks, Pierre! I have two gameplays with similar loadouts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i57JYXunZceYeck And kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5WQlZp6oclkqJY 😉👍🏻

[@Clipsfr32]

Love u Man U are the best

[@Clipsfr32]

Can u give us tips for hr iam crap 💩 with it and the sanstivity of the hr that u use

[@coryasmith3419]

#liked

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thank you, Cory! 😁🙌🏻💥

[@susababyy]

But I think you should shoulder switch more it would get you more kills

[@xem2476]

The PTSD from our interrogation match is coming back...xD

[@susababyy]

Xem shhhhhhhh xD

[@TLOUStrategist]

susaprivate I used to shoulder swap a lot more...kind of gotten away from it, but I’ll definitely keep it in mind! 😊👍🏻

[@Rlndgunslinger]

For a DLC loadout, what about running Damage Marker instead of Hawkeye? That way your character isn’t yelling out the marks and giving you away, but you still get paid and your team still gets the benefits.

[@loganlarocque22]

Oh no I was late on this one! :( I guess you could say I am a... loser, loser, late-joining viewer! Ha! :D

[@TLOUStrategist]

Haha, you’re fine, Logan! I’m super late in responding to you guys...thanks for checking it out tho...hope you’re well! 😊🙌🏻💥

[@haterdobem]

I come here from Nick EH ☺

[@TLOUStrategist]

Welcome! 😉👍🏻

[@sparehead0755]

So far, u need a lil bit more practice with the bow, but still u got a lot of downs 🤔

[@sparehead0755]

Either way, ur still bomb 👍

[@TLOUStrategist]

I definitely need more practice...I never use it! 😂 This was the first time in like 2-3 months (the survivalist)...and then before that was probably another 2-3 months. 😂👌🏻💦

[@Arman_Ali66]

U don't suck at the bow

[@TLOUStrategist]

Thanks, arman...I’m alright with it. Not my best. 😉👍🏻
