Doc is easily my favorite kit in AFE and I am always down to play and co-op. The game is a lot of fun.

Fair, although it's not really possible to adjust in mid mission like that. I could offset it by dropping in game volume though to make it easier.

It would do good if you can chain the CC enough and off set it to control the hordes. Any explosive or AoE weapon can pose a challenge to the ai, but if you have played around them enough then it should be fine.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I think it depends on the mission, but crushers being CC'd is very useful for the bots. It really depends on the playstyle of the individual and the mission tbh.

I know, I'm really bummed about this and it's from recording another video where I have my mic muted. I forgot to unmute it so, I was talking, but like a bozo no one can hear it lmao.

Same as the other comment, here's the link th-cam.com/video/vnh7rVQ11UY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XTJFGJkkM5wsYTMK The first Gunner build is the build I was using.

@@scottzi115 thank you

@@phucletran2860 You're welcome

The build is showcased here and easier to send a link. th-cam.com/video/kGQ7m_vUHvk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CKsSGHp9h_3KCf71 It's the second build of the video with the Type 95 Combat Pistol instead of the Grenade Launcher.

@@scottzi115 thank you

@@phucletran2860 You're welcome

I get the first part now, lmao. Honestly, most kits do just fine and compliment the bots since you would essentially just build around having a normal team too. That hopefully will be noticeable in the upcoming videos with the bots. No challenge card that buffs the team is actually required, they just make it easier, which to that I would say play how you want it's PvE and if you are trying it as a newer player, it helps to make you better by getting adjusted to the spike in difficulty. I would just say not to be reliant on them. The best thing I can say though when playing with bots is that having some type of hard CC really does them wonders as they don't try to get away from xenos when they get surrounded. The controller you mention is funny since in all actuality, some of the best players I have ever played with on this game actually use controller. I think it just comes down to practice honestly, but I do know that certain things can prevent that like health conditions or slower reflexes.

AH card?

@@scottzi115 ammo hoarder

@@cheap_clips then no lmao I'd either solo it with no buff card as Doc or switch to another kit.

@@scottzi115 doc is the less damaging class and has pistols and rifles that eat ton of ammo, so it would be fair to double the magazine

@@cheap_clips Doc is meant as a support yes, but building appropriately will mitigate the ammo problems as well as moving quickly and efficiently.

I hope you enjoy it and it was definitely a lot of fun to record. We'll see about the dlc.

The bots got buffed a while back and made it possible to beat it pretty easily depending on the kit you bring. Certain missions definitely require certain kits from what I saw testing them, but most missions can be beaten with any kit on Insane now.

Good information, however, pinned is not taking damage, it is pinned as in can't move or can't leave cover. This is a common term when discussing gameplay that involves shooting or cover. I didn't suggest that you would get toughness back in the midst of combat while using it. What curio were you thinking of? Toughness regen or something along those lines? - BM may be better then some of the other blessings, but that isn't relevant if there isn't an option to put it on a weapon with the current system (unless you roll it that way, otherwise I agree with you on that.) I will say, I didn't mention that so, it is a good idea to bring it up next time as that is a great combo blessing for the overall weapon and build setup. - The health regen is for healing back some damage you may take upon rushing down ranged enemies and gives slight health regen which over the course of a mission actually matters. You don't use it for healing back big hits, it's a sustain regen not heal from the brink kind because if you are using it for that then it isn't great. I've personally been at over 25% health constantly since I'll take slight chip damage and then heal it back keeping me floating around the same number. - Old information then with unyielding as it used to be thought to be tied to enemies and types with certain attacks. A simple edit can fix that for later videos though. - I appreciate the feedback as it helps make a more beneficial video that is more accurate and informative to players and doesn't give wrong information. I know personally that it irritates me if someone is spreading false information.🙂

I just wish it didn't have such a bad rep within the community.

I will say, this game is notoriously bad at descriptions since they say very generic things and then want the player to infer what that means. I know this was a massive issue on release.

@@scottzi115 I agree, there are lots of bad descriptions.

@@OrAngelicBlitz8633 there's a mod on nexus called "Enhanced Descriptions" which adds a bunch of information to the talent tree nodes and what they do as well as providing some of the math if applicable. Very good mod, i highly recommend it if you're tired of Fatsharts ambiguous wording of talents.

@@OrAngelicBlitz8633 You would think Fatshark would update the descriptions to be accurate for build purposes.

I really appreciate this, I need to add them to my description.

So, what you can do is fight on that catwalk and make runs to get ammo when you get low or just fight on the main platform, moving up to engage the warriors and then backing up afterwards. Spitters just require you to move up to them so they can't run away.

There are caps on fire rates and reload speeds, but most weapons can't hit that breakpoint. The biggest thing is that breakpoints are usually used for changes in a weapons performance. An example would be the Scout Rifle which doesn't hit a breakpoint unless you have the perk chain reaction on which gives the bonus damage necessary to kill runners with one hit on headshot.

@@scottzi115 That makes sense. Does a gun hit the breakpoint for runners, in your example. Or another is 2 magazines to kill a Captain breakpoint. My query was looking at granular breakpoints, but you’re saying the ones players pay attention to are gross. A decision to choose a 15% or 20% reload comes down to if you reach a certain breakpoint, like the 2 magazine example. Are there other general breakpoints players also pay attention to, besides that?

@@ErosXCaos Yeah, another breakpoint could be 1 magazine to kill a veteran, not just runners. Otherwise, breakpoints don't play a major role because if the weapon can't one shot, most of the time the increase in damage isn't too noticeable. This is why adding a bunch of weakpoint damage isn't too valuable. Being able to fire more rounds and reload faster makes it better for horde clearing and bursting down captain enemies.

Yeah, these were recorded I think just before the patch came out.

I appreciate it man. It just takes time and luck tbh

lmao, the clutch was good though

Yeah, this game is an absolute gem and all the goofiness and corniness with it is what makes it better.

I did yeah! I have some recordings of some gameplay, but need to upload them still.

@scottzi115 oh nice I will waiting 😁

Yeah, Doc is underrated for sure when they can be a great asset to the team.

Thanks! It was honestly a lot of fun making this video and challenging as well.

thanks, and yeah it was really great to have it happen.

Thanks!

Lmao! It's true for any of these honestly. None of them are a 1 and done clear. It could take hours for at least us to get a single win.

yeah, if the build works for you then by all means. That's the beauty of this game, everyone can have variations of the same build and it still be their own.

@@scottzi115 yeah for us new players we are still enjoying the game 😄 and I'm still on PS4 😅 really hope they give more to this game 🎮

lmao, a rock?

I'm glad you really like the series. I'm editing the fail compilation right now and then the actual video. I have over 4 hours of footage to go through lmao. Yeah, we definitely can do a run together. It'll be fun.

lmao Grumpy moment

Are you guys in a kin or similar? I’d love for you to drag me through a level!!

I'm always down to play with other players, it's just a matter of syncing up times to find a match.

Congrats and nice job! Only thing I can really say is knowing locations of enemies for each encounter which comes from playing the game a lot and paying attention to the radar to make sure no one sneaks up behind you.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. It just takes some practice and then you can do crazy things too.

Thanks man, it was a blast and fun to do these. Some of them were pretty tough too.

I could go over one, it would just require me to do a challenge or mission where it would be really impactful. The biggest problem with the flame turret is that it requires you to sit and wait for enemies to come to you instead of being progressive and going to the enemies. I'll have to see what I can work with and then it might be in a video in the future.

​@@scottzi115right it's more situational for sure. I just get tired of seeing the same stuff over and over. Everyone runs precision demo w/stims and techs only use particle turret. It just gets stale after a while :/

True, although my go to turret is the Heavy so, I don't run particle a bunch. The demo thing is just usually people farming wins are wanting to cheese everything. Skill can also play into it if they can't win any other way.

Honestly, it just takes practice and getting comfortable with the game at the higher difficulties. Once you achieve that, you need to start using harder challenge cards and eventually you'll get it no problem. I will say that you need a premade probably for these types of challenges.

This implies that any random would stay in the lobby long enough to play this card. I would say the chances are near 0 for that. It would be funny for sure and hard, but I don't think it's doable based on the player bas.

Plasma can work with slide comp for damage, but the weapon is an ar meaning it is meant for fodder enemies and maybe veterans (green). If you are using it on captain (orange) then it is going to feel like a wet noodle. I will say the plasma still feels very weak and the tactical shotgun is good for sustained damage if built well and the auto too.

​@@scottzi115Tried your second weapon loadout and it worked wonders! Took some time to get used to the type 88 spread. Can't wait to try the Krammer to feel what's more comfy. Attatchment-wise i went with 10 ammo capacity with the pump along with the fire patch ammo. The idea behind it was to make the most of it during overclock. How does it sound?

@@hadous honestly, that's up to you, but I prefer reload speed since outside of Overclock it still is slow so getting more reload is great and at 8 shells you can one mag dump kill a Prowler which is perfect. It's up to you obviously, but yeah the heavy hitting ars just feel better on Gunner.

You can add that as it gets a good boost to accuracy which is what it needs. I will say though that really any shotgun will work, but you may need to change the CQW perks to fit the new shotgun you are using. For instance, I changed one of my perks to Phalanx Mastery iirc for the mag increase which helps kill Prowlers better and anything stronger.

​​@@scottzi115 I have this gun on a lancer for on slaughter and for a Gunner and I just decimated most of the enemies on extreme I haven't tried insane yet because I don't have any good people with me but I've been doing everything solo

@@Uria2136 Scattergun also works really well on Tec for the stumble chance. Yeah, finding a team can be tricky, but there is always the official discord and I wouldn't trust randoms for testing or trying to see how effective a build is either.

Yes I know I have a built thanks to warrior but I wanted to try it on a different character

You get it from a random drop chance upon completing any of the dlc Pathogen missions on Intense or higher

@@scottzi115 ok tks m8 i got it n itry ur build sooooo good with the launcher

@@oldtimer3472 I'm glad you like it. It is a lot of fun to use.

Two ways, first is that I can here it making news and then secondly I know that if I hear the box in that room, it has to be there. This just comes from playing the game a lot and knowing the box locations. All the hidden cache boxes make a humming sound until you open them wherever they spawn on the map.

​@scottzi115 dude omg I play this game from first day release this game maybe 3 years and i play 850+ hours and I never knew the box have sound. OK this is new for me 😂❤

@@D0nTCry-95 lmao, well now you know. Hopefully it helps in the future for you!

You're welcome! If you use them or a version of them, I hope you have a lot of fun with it.
