KVM 59 /89 with healing and either stabilisation or oversized magazine is excellent from my experience. It has kept me in a fight much longer and allowed me to face tank quite a bit more then I realistically should be haha. And if you do have it, health and overmag is completely broken on a 5 crown minigun, its actually ridiculous lmao

At first, I didn't like the Experimental Agstudsare. But then I realize I basically get to mortar a FNIX base at a safe distance...

I usually use extended mag with prone specialization, which is OP on any machinegun, and weapon disarmer with extended mag with Pvg 90, very good against Tanks and Reapers. Haven't yet gotten the minigun, but when I do, its either extended mag plus prone, or health stealing and prone Edit: Honest opinion, don't waste resources on Titan topper, just use weapon disarmer, then target weak spots

You sound a little bit like Londo Mollari

Why are they all almost fully useless

they just keep making pointless useless weapon packs or cosmetic skin packs that doesnt really help improve gameplay or change gameplay mechanics instead of focusing on fixing in game bugs or issues.. or another story dlc like alpine unrest... if not im staying away from GZ forever.. there are better games out there that rewards you for putting effort in story mode or pve. all they do is keep on pushing crappy weapon packs that doesnt improve qol at all.. feels like they are doing what bethesda is doing with FO76.. making their own in game weapon cosmetic skins and turns out to be crap than what players can make in the community.. it should be given free when players buy the game, not sold separate as some dumb crappy dlc for about 3usd just becos you need to monetize your game so your company wont go bankrupt...

still doesnt explain how to mark them. with binoculars with the marking enemy skill or what? its very obscure and vague compared to others. just tell you to mark an enemy this many times. the only machine that needs to be marked multiple times is the reaper or most rivals because if you choose the skill tree that increase damage taken by a marked enemy then its kinda useful? ofcs it makes more sense with a party of 4 players one being the one using scoped weapons to mark enemy with the same skill and all... i dont think they planned clearly enough about the augments that help with qol gameplay or not.. smh.. i can see this game dying cos all they do now is pushing out dlcs to players to trying to survive

You need to test unstoppable shells. I use these on almost every weapon, and they melt enemys. I believe they give extra damage depending on how many layers you can make the bullets go through. If you can flank a tank you get full damage on each leg, and each weapon, in total 400 % damage (if you get the bullet to go through them all). I dont have component vision to confirm this though. I also only uses fmj bullets, because the do more component damage, and the bullets go through all armor anyway. As soon as i open up with a smg or lmg, there are blue sparks everywhere. And with hip fire, I can move around the machines faster than when ads.

Once you unlock the gold augment you should just be able to reapply it whenever you want, and not have to repay for it over and over. These kind of changes need to be done in this game or it's going to end up way to grindy and turn people off from it..

Ok was just watching this video and gotta say i absolutely the phrase "the speed of mach fuck" 😂

Very cool guide! Thank you.

Titan toppler and sound muffler is what you want.

Hip Shooter I a good choice for SMGs. It keeps SMG accuracy high without needing to take the time to ADS. It can also control RPG spread in jump shots.

Holy shit a lot of these are underwhelming and/or trash. How deflating. I do like EMP. That's it. Unstoppable, I guess, for Perfect Dark cheat gun.

Put health stealing on the N60 or the Minigun. It is a mod that benefits hitting a lot in a short amount of time

7:46 I still to this day don't even know how to find the machines components

34:44 thanks for the recommendations! I will give Uranium infused a go once I have unlocked it

28:28 Yes I have ran 400,000 metres 😂 I usually don't use the bikes, found them useless but they seem better than they used to be

23:16 Yes extended magazine is amazing and the extfa recoil isn't really that bad

21:33 I've yet to work out armor piercing rounds vs FMJ and how good APR is, I think I might just stick to FMJ and trying to get more lead as ran out

19:08 I've been trying to find a 5 star Pvg as not feeling the benefits of the Experimental version, I dont shoot through walls etc

3:13 I found this structure destructor amazing for my gold crown Pm-71 machine gun, melts structures along with oversized magazine

I've been playing this game for ages, I've got gold titan topper on majority of my fav weapons but think as you are saying its only 20% max so not really worth it in hindsight. I look forward to seeing your tips in the video 😊

Fun Fact: If you are playing single player, it's ok to use Cheat Engine program to increase the amount of resources

Loot, make bullets and kill machines. Rinse and repeat. This game could have been so much better.

I prefer the experimental one, you can hit the pieces in the back without being behind, I use the piercing one on rifles guns and with the piercing vision to hit tanks from dogs quickly from behind a wall. By the way did they nerf the pv 90? And did they remove the faster bikes , They haven't given me any faster just colors in a new run.

I will say that the 5 crown pm-71 with gold health steal is really great on adventure mode, or adventure with scaling. However, beyond that it really is diminishing returns sense the difficulties of skirmish and gurerilla reduce damage output. It makes the augment very insignificant on guerrilla and you have to rely heavily on resources like health or paramedic packs at that point. I have found that both my most useful augments are the gold uranium infused and the gold emp, both on PM-71 are great. The 5 crown pvg 90 with gold unstoppable shells is great as well. For ducking behind cover and shooting the enemy. I think most of what you said is absolutely spot on! My next objective is going to be to make 7.62 shock ammo and see if the increased damage does better with health steal.

I love this game!

it's a gun you have to get used to...although I absolutely hate that fact there are no iron sights or dot sight attachments.... they essentially want you to hip-fire it...which is okay...but not the best...honestly i'll use it until i find the kvm 89 5 crown..

1) I do agree that at current state companion is quite worthless. Survivability at lest with armor has to get buff. No doubt. Perhaps it is worth to make companion NOT dependent on difficulty and always act like it is Adventure difficulty. 2) 12 medical slug is used with experimental shotgun to heal yourself. But most times it is just a meme way to boost your jump to get on top of a tall structure. 3) Have you tried to not switch to another weapon on EMP proc, but use that time to reload shotgun and when Tank gets restored burst-destroy another component?

Great job, man! Thanks. I have a question about Scope Scout upgrade: are you sure it counts towards +10% skill damage for highlighted enemies? In skill description clearly mentioned that binoculars has to be used. I'm not argue, just confused a bit. Also health regeneration is quite good augment. It doesn't prevent from using meds, but cuts usage for like half. And that is a lot, cuz textile is almost impossible to obtain in combat and I hate scavenging.

Interesting that augments may make other underused weapons sort of viable again. I might try this out!

This is really useful information for all GZ players, thanks a lot for working this out and posting!

When you said you can shoot through mountains and rocks with unstoppable augment I literally busted out laughing, yeah that is awesome.

Did you try health stealing on com-10?

This shotgun doesn't work super well with slugs because you can't put scopes on it. Birdshot only does the most damage at specific ranges because that's where the pellets all hit. I personally use small fryer with extended mag and use it only for dealing with runners and lynxes at close range. I REALLY wish there was a hunter augment. I would totally use that for the semi shotgun. The biggest problem with it is how long it takes to reload. You get 5 shots (10 with the augment) and that's it unless you can spare at least 20 seconds to reload. I think if they ever make an exp version of it they should make it mag fed and full auto. That would be fun.

Great gide Dudu!! Saves me a lot of trouble, especially weapon components. I also like your personal opinions on the upgrades :) Do you have any idea whether you get some of the resources back when you remove a disappointing augment? I already made a big mistake installing the golden stabilization augment.

There is a FNIX Supercomputer location below the Mountains on the South Coast that has recently enabled my use of the experimental kvm89 by doubling my 5.56 ammo thru farming prototype hunters. As it is a random spawn location, it should be a repeatable farm location 🎉🎉🎉😃

Helpful thanks!

One particular use I found for the Oversized Magazine augment is to put it on a shotgun. The extra recoil matters a lot less than it would with the automatic weapons or more precise rifles. I get 10 shells before I have to reload with my semi-auto shotgun. Overall though, this is a great guide!

Thank you Dudu for the very comprehensive and informative video! Just got back to GZ after 8 months and had no idea about anything related to these augments. Now I know, and I am prepared to build!

Mounted weapons aren’t components?

Informative video, thank you for your hard work and your generosity in sharing it with us. ✌️😎👍

Commando is only good for rocket launchers

Thanks for the vid. For the PVG 90 are you still running uranium infused? I liked the sound of sharpshooter as I usually use other guns for closer range but I'm wondering if there is much point now. Perhaps titan toppler would be best as it helps with damage against the reaper too with no downsides. I wonder if the extra 20% is better than the EXP PVG 90? The Scorcher one for the PVG90 sounds like it would impact close range too, especially if you are just quickscoping runners or hunters without very careful aiming? It's a shame they cost so many components to augment, and then you lose it all when changing............

I wish you had tested the acidic. Are you positive it only works on reinforced plates on the machines like the knee armor you mention? My understanding was anything that wasn't a component was "armor" - ie. the body and "components" were the internal organs.

Showing recoil when you have full skillset of recoil reduction: "Look, no recoil anyways" 😄 Thanks!

Imo this is a really bad build. Nothing in survival? Sniping in this game is to me at least ( console player ) almost useless unless you are fighting a big machine, but even then l find it easier to get as close as possible. And for that, you need to be fast and able to take a little dmg. This saves ammo, adrenaline and medpacks. Also, the ability to carry more gear is to me essential. Obviously this comes down to playstyle, but to me at least this build is horrible.

i just got this from a fnix lvl 4 rival hunter

theres augmentation glitches, if you don't have enough crafting material, 😊 pressing R2 + X at the same time
