honestly all the warframe knowledge comes in real handy lmao
This system is way less complicated than Warframe. Warframe where you can crit on your crit while you crit.
I was coming here to say this actually, as well as it makes sense that it's not calculating that. It's giving you what will happen if you just hit the target. You're not always going to hit the weak point. And you're not always going to crit
@@thorinhannahs4614 i love teaching players constantly regardless of playtime cuz mechanics aren't explained to them, YIPPEE!!
Factz they have no idea how more complex warframe is compared to this
REAL. I only have a Lil bit of Warframe knowledge but it helps a LOOOT. Espexislly since Warframe is so much more confusing 😂
"Because that's what some people are doing."
(looks at a panel full of auto recommended modules)
(goes to hide in a corner)
Bruh same
Bro I just be slapping stuff on 😭
If someone hasnt played Warframe this game is gonna be crazy overwhelming and confusing.
@@kingcurmudgeon8685 But unlike warframe you have time to catch up before there's too much content
I'm auto recommending for days :(
Here I was completely avoiding elemental modules for weapons because I thought it meant the element of my equipped skill. Thanks so much for this.
Lmao why would it mean that?
Same lol
Tbh I was going to start criticizing on how would you think that if it's a weapon mod, but I come from Warframe so I have experience with this system, and thinking about it, I kinda get why someone would think the elemental mods apply to your skills if its your first game like this. Ngl this video can really help someone starting out.
It's understandable how you would get this confused. The skill element modules are actually equipped to your descendant and they will specifically say as much.
@@BinSosaI thought it applied only to weapons with said element
PSA: If you click on the icon to the right of the equal sign icon on the bottom left it will now show you the dps of the weapons INCLUDING the mods.
Yup was going to mention the same, also when you use tab or click left bottom icon in mod section of the weapon you can see all changes applied .
In default character view there is "go to info" as well that has most detailed information of exact multipliers for descendants mods and weapons
Thank you, didn't know that
i noticed that 1min into his video, just click the button? saves you guys 12 mins.
Beat me by 9 hours it seems lol
Right of the equal sign? On the keyboard or on the actual game?
I look at these modules the same way I do mods in Warframe. I’m glad this game has so many familiar systems.
Just dont tell this to WF player...... TFS is WF, but better with minimal bugs, its fun and the developers dont hate their fanbase.....hastag Rethalius did nothing wrong!!!
@@MemoryMori I am a Warframe player, and I love this game lmao
@itsdistinctly Did you just describe TFD or Warframe cause i couldn't tell
@itsdistinctly because jumping into warframe now is overwhelming. I played it years ago and trying to get back into it feels impossible. TFD is a fun looter shooter that is way more relaxed than warframe. That's the appeal I guess. And don't be saying warframe doesn't have repetitive missions🤣
@MemoryMori As much as I enjoy the gameplay loop, this isn't better than Warframe by any means. It's similar and it does things better than Warframe as well as does somethings worse.
Some enemy types for one and the ease of access to the orokin catalyst equivalent is way more hard to make. To double your mod space here you have to battle RNG and play for that rare drop.
Wasn't expecting the Tash man to cover this game but im so glad he is, since I also gravitated to this. Super fun game hope he makes some crazy cool guides and builds with big numbers lol
The tash man played a lot of destiny and some warframe so it makes complete sense that he covers this one!
I’ve gone through multiple videos trying to understand the modules, Ty so much for breaking this down
Bro..This video slaps. Thank you so much for taking us to class. Going back through my setups when I get off work. This game has actually been such a blast combat wise.
I have not played many of the games that people compare TFD to so this explanation is extremely helpful. Many videos explain the details to those who already know a lot of this stuff and how it works. I do not know this stuff. So this video was very helpful. It's one of the first videos I have found that seems semi basic or fundamental. Thank you for this. I am subscribing and will be looking through your other videos. There aren't enough helpful videos for players who are new to this game type. This helps. Thank you again.
You just blew up my simple mind! So excited to start melt things now! Thank you for this video, I love your break down and how you simplification.
As a complete bum at these types of games, I wholeheartedly appreciate videos like this. It makes so much sense the way you explained it. I have some work to do when i get off work this morning lol. Thank you sir! You earned a follow for this one
Great video man. I already understood modules fairly well, but didn't know that you could reset your descendant and then halving the cost of a certain module. Pretty cool.
Most indepth and informed presentation on mods without running people over with too much info. You have a strong foundation, you can't lose. But if the house looks pretty but the foundation sucks, it's like a soldier that styles his uniform great, but cant fight worth a dime. Love it!
Thatnk you so much this will make life hella easy. I have been scratching my head trying to figure out what to spend my shards on for weapon mods
One of the most useful and impact full guides I've watched so far. Subbed and Thank you!
Knightmareframes has in depth explained builds , I suggest you check him out too
Same great explanation video
A morons guide for morons
The tashman...ive been min/maxing and ive been noticing these things as well. kinda ticked me off when i realized i got rid of some mods that were actually benefitting my build, i spend a little more time analyzing my setup now so that i dont miss out again. this is an importand vid, appreciate you brother!
I just tried your recommendation and did my weapons based on what you said, man its awesome and wayyy better than before
Dude, you’re a lifesaver. Just a complete gym for a total rundown on how the mods can definitely change up the damage output of your game.
I would personally say that adding more damage in some way is going to be better than fire rate bonuses until later. Fire rate may give you more damage per second, but it isn't going to improve your damage per reload or damage before you run out of ammo, which can happen in some of the harder fights if you don't have enough damage as a whole team. Very good points other than that, though
Yeap, crit damage is better. Just like warframe. Once you get the crazy discounts on the modules and you solve your ammo problem, you can go fire rate
BTW if you upgrade a Descentant, Transcendent Module (the red ones) it will lower the mod capacity of that of that mod by one for each upgrade. Therefore making the transcendent mod using less capacity.
If that the same thing as catalyst from Warframe where you can “polarize” a slot for a specific mod type so it uses 1/2 the mods capacity?
No, but that mechanic is in this game too @kbutta01
You can "forma" your ascendant and weapon with the materials like warframe and yes you can 💳 for them out right or do the grind
Also levelling up a melee mod just gives more capacity so max it out asap.
@@MrHanslaXdo you know if the grappling hook ultimate mods that go in the same slot work the same way when upgrading?
Thanks for explaining this so simply . I knew rifling reinforcement was good, but didn’t know how monumentally important base firearm damage was to doing damage in the game . Thanks for this !
Also to mention, you can roll firearm attack as one of typically 4 perks on your weapon. If you have a lot of tuning resources it doesn't hurt to roll and then hold some firearm attack% bonuses. Flat damage bonuses are nice but the % bonuses will always scale exponentially as you lvl up.
Nice, now I know who to turn to for guides in this game. Good ol'tash
This is very good advice, really thank you. I was trying to add a little bit of everything, ranking every mod point by point trying to fit a little bit of everything, and I did notice that wasn't working. I was building up to Critical Chance, Critical Damage, Attack, and 2 Elemental Attack, in most cases I could fit 5 or 6 mods, but I felt almost no difference. I'll follow your advice, ranking up the basic attack as high as possible right away, and then going to work on Fire Rate UP (I don't think it would be good for Sniper, Scout, ELauncher, and Shotgun), and then Elemental. For all machine guns I'll go for +Attack, +Fire Rate, and +Elemental, and for others will be +Attack and + 2 Elementals.
You can't slot multiple elementals at the same time, unfortunately.
we gotta get this man away from gacha games,, people complaining about the monetisation in this game at least you get what you paid for,, of course unless the calibre fails to deliver lol
@@Thenlar Oh, really? Wow... That's weird, I came from Warframe that you can combine elements to create new elements... See this is so weird.
@@Thenlar yes you can, at least if you mix some of the purple and blue elemental mods together
edit: i was wrong, seems the purple elemental mods only boost the elemental damage that you get from the blue mods, they cant add the damage itself. i think you can still get two elements on if you have one from the readjustment process though
Thanks so much . Been enjoying the game a lot . Makes me miss playing warframe with my old friends . Can’t wait to see the future of this game
Clear, concise and enthusiatic. Really helpful!
Definitely glad I found this video. Just started playing 2 days ago. Was pretty confused about everything.
Tash, always coming with the tricky info! Love it bro!
Very well explained. I was using recommendations by game . Till i started researching on TH-cam. You did explain very good. Thank you ❤️
As someone who new to this type of system, thank you for these videos. I was just clicking the “recommended” option when selecting modules.
Best mod explanation so far. Thank you!
Dude thank you so much for this, I'm at hagios and was starting to feel underleveled and not doing enough damage and becoming a liability to any group i enter, but after this video im suddenty doing like 10x the damage, suddenly i can actually down the shields of colossi. thank you mtashed
Just started playing and I am really happy I came across your videos, I'm going to give this a try because the use button to use the best or ones recommended by the game is a joke. I have been looking all day for some actual information and I appreciate your time and effort I will definitely be subscribing and I hope to see more on this game.
Very clarifying and useful, thank you! You got another subscriber 😊
Thank you so much!! You never fail to have the best info 10/10
and in case you forget ,you can slot a rune in your gun , so the mods cost a halfcut , but need max gun level and a rare material to do so ,so even more moduls
In Warframe terms, a “Rune” for me is called a “Forma”
And the system for “Forma” is the Literally memorizable and easy to do.
So maybe consider naming it “ Forma” after ppl get used to it
@@infwarriorofshadows5897bro if u played warframe you should understand he's talking about "forma" even tho he wrote rune which is accurate for the game...
I heard the "forma" only applies to that specific gun so you gonna have to keep leveling it as you go thru the game. I want to do it but its too early for me and I cant grind for those things yet
Holy shit thank you. After sifting through like half a dozen click bait videos on the same topic, this is the first one that was actually useful.
Honestly dude just explained everything so damn perfectly buddy got him a sub 🗣️
I think a thing of note here too, not all guns are created equally.
Some mods will benefit very little/almost not at all from Crit mods, and other from Weakpoint mods.
All the the mods are multiplying your base value, if you have a base value of 1% crit. You can have a 100% crit mod, but that weapon will still only have 2% crit.
Same goes for fire rate too, you can add a fire rate mod to a slow sniper but that isn't gonna do very much even though the tooltip will absolute say you just increased your DPS by a ton.
The better the base stats of your weapon, the more you should focus on that attribute, and prioritize that one and in some cases just avoid certain attributes as investing in 1% base crit isn't worth it.
Thank you. That was the most helpful video about this game for me so far
Your explanations for everything is very clear and precise thank you brother making me learn this game so easily. I’m working too much and gettin older don’t have time to grind anymore lmao 🤣🤝🏽
Damn. Hella helpful, I was just putting random shit on most of time. Was thinking I was slowly getting the hang of it. But this helped a lot
RIGHT! I was just putting in "recommended" because I had no clue! LOL Tashman to the rescue!
There’s a purple mod that gives you 15% firearm att and + 5% recoil at level one, believe there’s like 6 levels
What's it called?
@@tonyoso1391it’s purple. I’ll report back with it because I have it on my Ajax
@@tonyoso1391action and reaction
Theres a similar one that gives 16%atk and -fire rate i think its called slow atk
Yeah, but that's (unless if I'm mistaken) adding to the recoil, not reducing it. So you're doing more damage, but potentially missing more shots if you can't control the recoil well enough.
one of the best explanations I've seen so far... some are almost as confusing as the game.
Absolute legend, took your advice and 1 shotted devourer solo on my ajax. HUGE THANKS.
Little tip, put rifling reinforcement bottom left. There is also a -capacity cost in the top row. For cerulean socket types
As he was showing the tamer. that doesnt have any socket bonuses by default
Thank you, I'm new and was thinking that about elemental mods that they mainly buffed preexisting elements n what not...I most definitely wasted currency on pointless shit but thanks to you I now realize the better path to take... earned my sub
Thanks for the early game explanation. First video I see about this. You earned a like and a suscribe.
Ty man this has been best guide yet for just hitting 40level as bunny im planning to farm with her too
I just wasted 2 weeks making a ham fisted attempt at Moddule this was so important - thank you!
Thanks so much for this info. I've been blocked by the pyromaniac for ages. Now I finally managed to get my own back after following this advice. XD
I'm shocked at how helpful this is. Also, reminds me to use the lessons learned in WF more
absolute legend, I needed someone to explain the modules to me!
Very informative and straight to the point. Thanks!
This was actually so informational, great to have learnt this early, ive kinda just been leveling random shit up and going with it😂
I don't know how else to describe how much This video has helped me
I think I figured out how to get past my Plato. I now have unlimited potential
amazing video. a lot of people don’t understand how these mods work, although the are worded a bit better than warframe. elemental roll on your gun * elemental mod * weak point damage * rpm and then throw in crit on a high crit weapon
Super happy M is playing a game I like again
Had no clue, just been using auto-recommend as I haven't played warframe. Thanks king.
Every time I watch a video of first descendant. I always realize Warframe taught me first! 😅 Great vid btw.
Omg! I need this video. I didn't know elemental dmg stacks on dps. You just saved me. Thank you so much.
Right I was not even using those mods and I have 454k dps can’t wait to try it
btw you can farm for the energy activator materials, and kuiper with the Enzo descendant, and opening up encrypted vaults, he gets more rewards from his passive, a lot more.
Just reached master rank 9 so started dabbling in module upgrades. This is perfect timing for me thanks 👍🏿
mandatory THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
just an fyi, the slow art module gives such high dps compared to rifling reinforcement, so your best lineup is slow art, rifling reinforcement, fire rate up, and elemental atk increase
So nice to see mtash back on a looter shooter
Thanks Tash, very helpful!! Loving the game and loving your coverage of it so far
Dude totally just saved my build by watching this, I was doing it wrong the whole time
This helped me immensely. Thank you!!
the video i was looking for damn!!!!thanks my guy
I just watched your video and it helped me defeat the Dead bride ! Thank you for all the great info
Don't forget there are different rarity mods that do the same thing but at higher percents. You can view the all mod and where to find them in the"access info" tab then clicking "modules". Then you click view acquisition to see where you can farm it
Just a thing worth mentioning - before you actively farm for catalysts and energy activator try to get enzo...makes life much easier when farming vaults
Damn you did 2x my damage I thought I had it figured out pretty good but this was a huge improvement tyvm!
I’ve been noticing this and doing math to equip the right mods
Bro I’m new to this and finally found someone that simply explain this info without the unnecessary fluff. Thanks
Ok this is a huge help thank you bud. I am in love with this game this is just brilliant
You are 1 bright dude tashman appreciate you
Bro your video helped out so much thanks man. Extremely helpful. Keep it rolling
Big Like! I'd love more tutorials about this game
You made some Great points.. Make Base Weapon Damage HIGH.. All additional damage.. crit.. crit damage and other Multiiers are based on the Base Damage....!
Lil tip when the reload bar is about halfway you can roll and it will reload your weapon
Think of it as a faster reload
I hope they don't patch it tbh, little optimisations like animation cancelling are what keeps looter shooters fun. Look at Borderlands 2 for example, so much of the cool stuff you can do in that game is unintended by the devs but they kept it in because it makes the gameplay more interactive.
Thank you so much for this explanation on mods, i was having such a hard time and your video made it far more easier to understand so now i can have more fun when i play.
Awesome work, definitely hope they sort out the sheet damage as well.
thank you brother for this guide. ive been loading up my gun modules chalk full of random shit.
Make a video on the different weapons and their base stats. Knowing where to find the base stats info and then what weapons actually synergies best well with Crit mods and so on. Some weapons have a higher chance to proc attribute effects and some have very high base crit chance.
Earned a sub bro, thanks 🙏🏽 so much for this info I do just equip auto 🤦🏽♂️ but I definitely read also and it wasn’t making since. So focus on 2 or 3 important things plus element 🤔
Mtashed you're a beast bro ❤
Thank you for breaking this down for me
Gley mains: *look at what they must do to mimic a fraction of our power*
Much appreciated, Tash.
Thank you Mr tash I wasn't sure what I should be slotting into my weapons
Don't forget to "Assign Module Socket Type", it will discount 50% OF a module cost if the type is matching on the gun.
Interesting direction here and it does make sense
The game isn't dumb, it just shows you the base DPS which people don't understand until you click N to get to your mods then where you see the actual DPS.
very helpful and informative I really appreciate it, thanks so much.
The dps in the inventory screen is probably meant to allow you to compare base unmodded dps between guns
You can see your modded dps in the module screen on the weapon in the top left
You can actually mark the slots for a certain brand of mod which decreases by a percentage of the the overall points used for that slot just like warframe. Therefore you can use more mods
you explain stuff nicely, i like it : )
This video might actually help people get past some of the lower level intercepts and maybe I won’t get some teammates doing low dmg 😮🙏🏽
