    Great tutorial. A lot of the reason why the best players are the best is down to simple logic!

    • @FreezyPop

      That is true

  • @Arcticvbi

    @VideoFletcher I like the new swaps quite a bit, it definitely opens up the map more than before. Tomorrow's video shows some quick, on-the-fly adaptations our team made to the new changes.

    Great video, Skyllus (and team). I'm enjoying this series and it's helping me quite a bit. It's not rocket science by any means, but I just can't play as much as most folks so getting the cliff notes like these guides provide makes a world of difference.
    I wonder if the active makes a larger blast radius without expanding the "trigger" radius?

  • @Arcticvbi
    @Arcticvbi  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @SrayerCA yes the Digger is proximity based, although after traveling for awhile it automatically pops up after like 7 seconds of traveling

  • @Arcticvbi
    @Arcticvbi  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @ForsakenStonerZ will do, glad you enjoy the videos :)

    The Digger perfect active reload is like the saw off one, it makes the reload faster but no increase of damage. I found it on a guide I bought.
    regards and thanks for your wonderful work!

  • @Arcticvbi
    @Arcticvbi  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @WarpedEl3ment Proximity detonated - seems like it just barely misses quite a bit. If you fire it over someones head and it lands right behind them it usually won't detonate.

  • @Arcticvbi
    @Arcticvbi  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @CrazyIemon no problem glad you enjoyed

  • @MyConflogulous

    Thanks for the tutorial! After I watched this, I played GoW3, and I tried that mindset when I grabbed a digger, and I got several kills!

  • @SrayerCA
    @SrayerCA 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    This was a great tutorial. Just watching your situational use of the digger helped me understand the weapon much better.
    I think the one thing you missed are the very basics - what causes the digger to pop out of the ground? I initially had a hard time wrapping my head around this. But after watching the video and reading the comments, it seems that it's caused either by proximity to an enemy, or by hitting a certain type of wall. Is that right?
    Again, great video. Thanks for posting.

    @xd1rtx 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    one thing that i didn't hear you say, but you did use quite a bit, is that when you are shooting and you dont need to go under cover, you need to lob the digger into the air and land it as close to their feet as possible, so they have a lot less time to react,,,, excellent vid

  • @ChiTownOnDeck
    @ChiTownOnDeck 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love the digger. I do some of these same methods, without even realizing it. Thanks Skyllus

  • @DenyThisFlesh
    @DenyThisFlesh 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video. This is how I use the digger too. I didn't know some of those angles though. Like Skyllus said, always have a target in mind when you fire the digger. I do this and I get a lot of kills with it.

  • @eYeRthaVillain

    best lesson series on youtube...

  • @Arcticvbi

    @AjaxfanRuben Skyllus uses an LG monitor, I use a Samsung B2330 HD. Switching to a different monitor for the holidays.

    keep em coming guys!

    @jeffmartinez199 this series is in a playlist, I believe the shotgun episode was 13

  • @ggzii
    @ggzii 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    What do you think on the new mercy swaps? I like them but I still feel the mulcher is worthless as a boltok can kill you so easily

  • @andrewlydiard5745
    @andrewlydiard5745 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @FEfan56
    It will actually travel through the ceiling and explode above. You have to use the Tac/Com to see where the weapon spawn is so you can know where to shoot it though.

  • @FEfan56
    @FEfan56 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @andrewlydiard
    As in it'll travel through the ceiling and fall downwards or will it go upwards to get sombody camping mulcher/oneshot?
    very interesting fact either way.

  • @DefyDogma
    @DefyDogma 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    i already used the digger a lot, but this video helped refine my abilities with the gun.

  • @TheHellcannon
    @TheHellcannon 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    That zoom bit at the very beginning was pretty cool

  • @SkylluszYn
    @SkylluszYn 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @111843b Probably saw me hit the D-Pad between actions - the gun switches after a wallbounce completes. Basically just hitting the D-Pad real quickly after I tap A and start sliding since I don't need to be moving the left stick.

  • @thenightcustodian
    @thenightcustodian 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yo thanks bro. I was wondering how 2 use the digger... I was wondering if there was some way to make it explode or travel longer.. This was really helpful. Thanks again.

  • @ForsakenStonerZ
    @ForsakenStonerZ 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lovin these tutorials guys, plz keep it up!

  • @Arcticvbi
    @Arcticvbi  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @theflash127 The digger triggers on proximity to the enemy, you can't detonate it.

  • @breadpops
    @breadpops 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @VideoFletcher i dont like the swaps on mercy its better but i play with a team alot so its the same as it was before except now we control the top of the map after we have the bow and hold it or rotate down to pick it up if we can i feel like they need to change mortar for something else or change nades to something else

  • @number1chiefROKKA
    @number1chiefROKKA 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    thanks for this. Really informative. I have one major question. For the life of me I can not figure out why I keep dying while using this weapon. I don't mean when I am in close proximity to an enemy and I kill them. I mean, I have shot the digger and it goes 3-7 feet - no one is there to detonate it - it just blows up and then I am dead. I know you die if you shoot it and a teammate is in front of you, you get blow back. I'm just talking about when I am alone. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  • @AlphaDwg
    @AlphaDwg 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    wow i learned a lot. Great vid once again and god damn those were some sick shots. That two for two in the hall way was pretty damn amazing.

  • @Brumfield85
    @Brumfield85 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @VideoFletcher theres a mulcher on mercy now?

  • @masrrr
    @masrrr 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I used to throw away digger shots like all the time, after watching this i understand if used correctly it is deadly, but its also improved my boomshot aswell.

  • @Tightness8
    @Tightness8 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    active seems to make the blast radius bigger (which is good as it makes it harder to avoid)

  • @SkylluszYn
    @SkylluszYn 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @UberBussell Not really, just have to know the map and where the tunnel is. It's a pretty easy shot to get down. I guess you could hit LB to see where the boltok is and then line it up real quick.

  • @zebnolsen

  • @PelonTUBZ
    @PelonTUBZ 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    If only I watched this when they had the playlist "can you dig it?" man I would owned, I did alright but most of my kills was with the boltok to finish the off cuz the explosion of the digger would damage them then they rolled out in the distance and pop yo heads gone, any tutorials on other weapons would be great

  • @UberBussell

    Anyway you remember the exact point to shoot at, to go straight down the hall way at 3:05?

  • @shadowstriike
    @shadowstriike 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    The guide for Gears 3 says that it's active gives a 10% damage boost, but from personal experience, it seems to make it go slightly faster through the ground. Might just be me though.

  • @AFricknChickn23
    @AFricknChickn23 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    you didn't show the "sneaky digger"!! When you're in the cave on trenches you can shoot up to the sandbags above you! Very good lesson video though, well worth the wait. I will have to check out where some angles are on all the digger maps.

  • @WR3CKCR3EATOR
    @WR3CKCR3EATOR 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    this made me go for digger alot more.

  • @Yoshirox151515
    @Yoshirox151515 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    good vid but 2 things i felt u should add, the first is be VERY VERY CAREFUL when firing around teamates as it will explode straight away and kill you. the second is on the mediam to long range shot make sure u get some air as the digger is very easy to hear coming. u kinda showed it but it wasnt stressed. but still great vid

  • @Arcticvbi

    @JewGas28 PAR does neither of those it simply increases it's damage output.

    Hey I'm pretty sure the digger moves faster when you active reload but I'm not 100% certain

  • @JDizzleaus

    The active goes through more cover apparently.

  • @Mikefromhell1990
    @Mikefromhell1990 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    the actives make it pop up faster out of the ground :)

  • @omgWolfslayer801

    Active on digger makes go through the ground faster

  • @animefreaksk8r
    @animefreaksk8r 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Digger's PAR just increases damage output, no other effects besides that.

  • @AjaxfanRuben

  • @thatdawg2021

    Getting a active reload with the digger doesn't make it go faster, it makes it go farther
