FULL 1.0 RUNDOWN: th-cam.com/video/eXgQhu9lUPw/w-d-xo.html
What an awesome breakdown! S tier is wicked powerful, and if it also looked super bad ass, it would need to be nerfed :)
I didn't see anywhere if TFP were implementing an armor set manager in inventory management. I know they're famously responsive to player feedback but maybe you could suggest they implement something like that in 5-10 years to make all the armor sets more useable.
I think there's something far down the roadmap regarding mannequins. I'd really like a mannequin that switched my outfit with one click.
buen video
@@dcsobral That will be in version 1.9.86 due for release in 2048 after the 356th iteration of progression and learning when they finally realize they had it right with learn by doing and they've wasted a quarter of a century of development. Still no bandits though...
They need to add armor stands or allow the mannequins in the game to be used fkr quick swapping.
Absolutely. But i think modders will have that sorted out in a day after full release.
@@whiteraven550 considering the fun pimps is preparing a modding API. yes it will
x2
100%
Assassin set would be good IF half of the POI weren't scripted enemy spawns that already know where you are magically...
Honestly 😂. Armor is good and all but back in alpha 20 we were promised wandering zombies in POI’s and we have yet to see it
I usually play stealth and knowing where they are and getting at them in alternative ways without triggering the script is part of the gameplay
x2
I'll be curious if you can cause the scripted enemies to lose track of you using the Assassin set by letting them see you and then making them lose LoS again. If it works then the assassin set could make a full stealth build much more viable than before.
I usually knock through walls to get stuff it sounds decent if you just run through a couple building just to get the end loot
S tier set:
Preacher gloves.
Rogue hood / Nerd goggles (w Treasure Hunter mod).
Commando boots.
Nomad chest.
Sunglasses for bartering.
Thank you
ty got quality 3 of these with treasure hunter mod, and bandolier/pocket mods on rest
why nomad chest is good ,i find it very bad
Good man!
@@anislahrir2315 For the extra inventory slots and more damage resistance because heavy armor
Full Priest set with a sledgehammer, The god emperor may forgive you but I sure as hell won't.
paladin build
O man , the Emperor Approves this 😃
God Emperor would never
Add a shotgun for maximum Father Gregori vibes.
@@Triad_Orion And set fire to a whole bunch of zombies at the end, while laughing histetically.
Bonus points if you can recite extracts from the bible.
I'm pretty sure the preacher gloves will get nerfed down to 5% per level or so before too long. They are ridiculously good.
Would be a very fun pimps thing to do, for people called the fun pimps, fun is something that seems low on their agenda
Would be much more balanced if the preacher gloves mirrored the wasteland gloves, and did 60% more damage ONLY to normal zombies, not radiated ones, that would be make it an interesting choice. Would also maybe open the ranger gloves up for increasing damage to Ferals, which would fit thematically.
@@gabriellim7482 good point
That's my question. He just read the description and didn't show any tests. Since you have one that says zombies and another rad, I would guess zombies are the non-rad versions.
Feral wights have 120% more HP so these high bonuses might not be as OP as one would think.
a locker mechanic would be cool. Like in Rust. One mouse click and it changes all armor and gear. It would make the niche category of armor sets easier to throw on for a quick mining trip, then go back to the grinding set.
If you look at the release roadmap, a wardrobe system is listed on their Q4 2024 update. Hopefully it includes that functionality.
@@bladeofphoenix crossing my fingers for this cause that would be such a game changer
Honestly, don't know how much I like the new armor system. I feel like if you really want to build into something, you just have to suffer with some of the really bad bonuses from armor, or look stupid with mismatched armor pieces. Hopefully they add transmog for the amors, or just redo the way they work at some point.
The wardrobe system should help whenever that comes
That's the great thing about first person, you don't get to see how ridiculous you look.
mods will save the game, yet again. They just gave good models for competent people to work with.
@@udamthewaster9454 6 years, minimum
@@M_Messer you will always see your character when riding a bike
Full legendary assassin actually has great potential for clearing big late game end battles, just being able to break LOS to stop the entire group hunting you is totally OP, then pick them all off with a crossbow...
I like that idea and it will probably be seen as a cheese strat by the devs and nerfed at some point.
If agility or sneaking in general gets fixed, this will be an S tier gear but sadly sneaking in this game is broken and doesn't work properly.
For Example try to clear a tier 3 POI while completely silent and the following will happen: you will miss some zombies/ areas because you have to wake the zombies up in order to progress or you will walk to the main loot room where most zombies are sleeping/ hiding untill you walk closer to the loot and die because they will go on lock target mode, even stealth and all the sneaking perks and armour won't stop them sadly.
@@ShianVideos Which they shouldn't be doing because in the end, it's an large open world, we should be able to play the way we want to.
@@thedarkuk248 stealth works fine, there is stealth enemy radar for a reason, might be a skill issue
@@ShianVideos The problem is by the time you're able to do this, requiring mostly high tier Assassin armor, you've basically hit endgame anyway.
next patch next year: "everyone was using singular armor pieces instead of full sets, so we've taken away all stats on individual pieces, and put them all on the set bonus." or some other variety of anti-fun, anti-solo player design mentality.
good thing is the modding community is amazing and no matter how hard tfp try to make the game as unfun as possible, the modders will take care of that problem^^ vanila 7d2d is worst 7d2d^^
Good game devs would just do the mirror of that, and if 'everyone' is using broken up pieces, they would buff the set bonuses to make them more attractive until some level of parity is reached...
It's really funny that they even bothered adding an assassin set when they've completely nullified sneak for so much of the game. It's useless on horde night, and most POIs (at least anything remotely challenging) have trigger points that will just wake up the entire room when you enter with no way to get around that outside of destroying blocks in certain spots to force your way around. At least it looks cool, I guess.
Definitely agree on the "meta" set, at least for now since some of these bonuses seem a bit crazy and may see some nerfs before stable comes out. Appreciate the deep-dive into all of this for us!
I hope they have 'Fix stealth' on their to-do list, it could be such a fun way to play. There's a reason people always gravitate towards the 'stealth archer' build in Fallout
You can shoot out light sources and then go into rooms that have a trigger. The harder POI's had more of a hair trigger to them. Stealth was OK before if you did that and stay crouched even when they'd wake up - most of them would just run up to you and lose sight of you if you were in the slightest of shadows.
@@GamerzMediaYou mean Skyrim, not fallout, and that's true in that game because all of the skills end up buffing that playstile by the end so it's objectively the best. It's not any inherent fascination with that style given how in fallout you absolutely can play the game like that but the incentives provided by skills don't all lead there so most people that I have seen play the game don't go for it.
@@GamerzMedia They have deliberately moved this game into the 'shooter horror' genre for several updates now.
First versions of this game were stealth heavy and punished the player for using firearms or explosives outside horde night, but that wasn't as fun for streamers. So the game was changed to match what the developers wanted to see. More run/gun/loot.
Half the sets come with their own niche. If the assassin one was more viable, we would probably see 7dtd turn into skyrim stealth archer hell
I'm looking forward to your 1.0 playthrough amigo.
New playthrough begins early next week
@@GunsNerdsandSteel live or posting vids on youtube for that play through? Cant wait and love to know where it will show up on :)
we got 7 days to die metas before gta 6
I may not be interested in gta6 there is a certain company that pushes politics into games and they are trying for gta6 when I play games I don't want too deal with politics I want a escapes
Why does anyone give a shit about GTA anymore? Legit garbage 95% of the content is for potheads and section 8.
Also I knew we were going to see metas before the game releases. Of course the armor change has to be cobbled, was implemented so bad. But we shall see when we play it.
@@benbaker4198The last thing I expect GTA to be is woke, the company that makes it has never cared for political correctness. Even then, who cares? As long as the story itself is well written then what's the problem? And to find that out we kinda have to wait and see until release.
I, for one, appreciate you doing this video. I sat at my computer yesterday and was excited to see the new game play for the 1.0 release and ended up disappointed. Every streamer I watched wasn't playing as much as they were standing in the game, doing NOTHING more than reading and replying to the chat 🤬. In my opinion, everything they were answering was the same crap everyone should have ALREADY knew if they watched the dev streams. Need I say it really ticked me off. The point is, it's refreshing to see you giving us new information and a closer look at the new outfits. You are greatly appreciated!
Having to constantly swap out your gear depending on what youre doing in game to not feel like you are missing out or doing it wrong is such a shit way of doing it.. I hope the overhaul mods changes this in a few months :)
Having to constantly swap armor around sounds already very annoying and will take up more backpack slots. I find these game design decisions very interesting. Lets see how it will play out during the experimental phase. Ty for the overview and your personal opinions.
you don't need to constantly replace your armor though. Early game it just isn't realistic as you won't have the armor pieces to swap to and more than likely you won't be speced in a way to really take advantage of multiple sets. Switching sets will certainly be a mid to late game occurrence and even then you'll swap maybe one or two pieces to do a quick harvest run, mining run, or wood run. with the barter bonuses being on a single head piece just leave it in your vehicle and swap it when you go to sell stuff.
You can tell they took direct elements from Fallout for the Nomad and Nerd set.
The head cage on the nerd is the raider head armor from fallout 4. The nomad helmet looks pretty identical the the NCR Ranger's helmet from FO New Vegas.
This update had a lot of references, one of Bob's new voice lines says "If mama ain't happy, nobody happy." which is a reference to Dying Light!
@@notrealkhris I mean that's just a saying, my mom in 2006 had that on a little painting on the wall. It's too common of a phrase to be a Dying Light reference purely by being said.
@@fearlesswee5036 In the voice line he says it exactly the same, plus Dyling Light is an open world zombie survival crafting game... and 7D2D is an open world zombie survival crafting game.
They need to start taking direct elements from Project Zomboid.
the enforcer set appears to be a nod to handsome rob who also wears blue suit, red tie and sunglasses.
The primitive armor basicly screams "I am Groot!" XD
Now people can do the 'Churches Only' type of playthrough and have the applicable Preacher set for it.
Our base is St. Moe. Our live is to sacrifice the undead. Out motto: "Preach them out of the unlife with power of sledgehammer."
*COUGH* Father Glock *COUGH*
I really can't tell if I'm gonna like this new armor system. I think i'll like it sometimes, but not all the time. When I'm really itching for survival-based gameplay, I think it will break my immersion a little too much. I'm still looking forward to trying it out, though. Great video, as always.
Yeah, people are incentivized to have a bunch of armors and swap them out based on their needs. Oh, I'm driving, so better whip out the gas gloves. Oh, I'm firing a magnum now, better whip out the reload boots. Oh...etc.
That doesn't like fun at all and, like you said, terrible for immersion.
@@JohnDoe-fo7yi Because gas has always been a problem. Because the magnum was unplayable before these boots existsed. Because you'd always go on a big mining trip without rock breakers or a bunker buster mod.
These are BONUSES to what the game was already like. Why do you think the mixed set is the best set? Because its the best ALL ROUND. You dont want to swap it out? OH NO! ANYWAY! Just dont...?
@@brentonherbert7775Min maxers crying about their immersion even though their play style basically by definition breaks any possible immersion.
@brentonherbert7775 Except they purposefully buffed all the zombies and nerfed a bunch of other stuff with the gear in mind... So simply ignoring it means oh just play a worse version
@balinthehater8205 It's not the min/maxing that breaks the immersion for me. It's honestly the goofiness of some of these armors that does it. At least, I'm worried that it will. Obviously, I haven't played it yet so it could be just fine.
I kinda want clothes back as transmog option, maybe in the future as skins option... or mods :)
mods will be the only way which is both a blessing and a curse
@@spuffles2104 while they didn't do it, a modder could easily take the clothing from previous alphas and just turn them into mods that can be used on the current equipment. Probably even adding in a second cosmetic slot so it function like dyes.
Full set bonuses seem really lack luster.
Will definitely be using those preacher gloves and rogue/nerdy headgear
They'll realise this quick enough when basically no one is using full sets, which is their intent. Man TFP are terrible at predicting how mechanics actually play out.
@@JohnDoe-fo7yi Also dumb that primitive T6 gear requires legendary parts...who would waste them on those? It should be reserved for only the best gear.
@@ZombiePicnicdepends I guess on how much you want to RP. Like even though I will most likely never use max primitive armour I won't begrudge other people if they want to do so. Imo it's always better to give the player that choice.
@@ZombiePicnic people that want to do a primitive only playthrough. All the armor except primitive requires you to use a workbench to make it. So if you play a primitive playthrough and can't get access to the workbench tier 6 primitive is your best option.
Gonna be forever changing outfit parts for any given situation.
Something fun to test with that mining set: Take the 3 pieces you mentioned here, then throw on a pair of assassin boots, then proceed to mine like a madman with an auger. I think it would work like a charm because I did a similar thing in A20 on a long playthru; I started off as agility so had all the stealth perks and whatnot, then leveled up strength for obtaining resources. I could sit and mine with an auger all day and never get a single screamer so long as I stayed crouched for "stealth".
Sadly screamers only spawn due to the "heat" gimmick your weapons produces which ignores all your stealth since she will trace the exact point of heat ( where you mine ) and scream if she spots you
@@tiorast6802 its true, but it should work with a pickaxe. it actually means that playing with feral sense could be pretty easy if you just wear the boots and they negate all noise you would normally produce.
@@jamestaylor9887 I prefer 100x times the steel pickaxe over the auger unless is modified to be better lol
@@tiorast6802 I fully agree even modded I often use the steel pickaxe over the auger. Screamers are just a pain otherwise. Though for making moats or digging for base purposes I can admit the auger is faster
So what about moderating temperature in the dessert or snow biomes or is that no longer a thing?
That is true....I haven't seen anyone address that!!
I moderate temps in the dessert by either putting it into the fridge or freezer to chill it or by putting it into the oven or microwave to warm it up.
@@charline1973 so i’ve come across clothing mods such as “breathable material” which would decrease the temperature while in hot climates but tbh i would rather the equipment being weather dependent
its just going to be the feat and armor mods like the insulating mod or the cooling mesh mod that assist in that. Alternatively you can drink a yucca smoothie.
Think they should make DMG buffs when you wear a full set of specific armor, example would be, full set of ranger would boost range dmg, raider, melee, rouge could be a blend of attack speed and dmg for knifes, 5% per lvl. Instead of the gloves boosting the dmg of things they could boost durability of the weapons that the armor intends to buff. Or have a % chance to gain extra materials when harvesting or mining. Feel like the set bonuses should be the highlight on why you'd wanna wear a full set of armor and should be the strongest point in why you'd wanna wear that armor set 🤷♂️
Thanks for the video! Quick note on +XP gain. Unless you're in a group and you're one of the lower level players in the group, +XP gain is a handicap, not a boon. When gamestage goes up, difficulty goes up immediately, but you need to go out and loot to get the benefit of loot stage. Going up in gamestage faster gives you less time to get loot, making the game slightly more difficult.
Great point!
From all my hours watching 7dtd youtubers, playing the game myself and everything else, I've never heard that point and now that I think about it, it makes so much sense...
Why would I want to speed up my XP gain if that would mean higher gamestage which as of 1.0 doesnt really benefit item drops that much, but makes the game harder?
I swear to god, you fucking enlightened me.
From now on I'll genuinely stop wearing or eating XP boosters and claiming XP rewards.
@@d4cto I've been playing since alpha 17 and my normal settings are 150%xp gains. when i found them i'd use xp drinks and always wear the nerd glasses, but its very punishing now. hordes are a very real threat especially the first horde. it'll almost certainly mean death unless you just sack an entire concrete building or bring a few stacks of pipe bombs. for people that run longer day lengths it'll truly be hell.
I think the armour revamp is overall positive but I really dislike the move towards niche switching. The nerd chest is probably the worst example. Needing to stockpile magazines instead of just reading them just to switch to this armour item and read them all in one go is a seriously bad game loop. And switching entire sets out for specific activities is something another game I've played does and it's just never "fun". It's just an additional faff step for optimal outcomes.
I think armour needs to only ever impact combat. Just my take.
I agree. My first thought seeing the bonuses for the "niche" sets were like "Oh, guess I need to always keep these things around if I really want to get the most from my gameplay. The fun thing about learn-through-looting was that it was LEARN THROUGH LOOTING, not LEARN THROUGH CARRYING AROUND A CHESTPLATE.
except it really isn't worth bringing the chest piece with you till mid to late game and even then it probably isn't worth it till you get a tier six version. the only way to do so is to craft it because you can't find them in the world anymore. sure it ramped up to 50%, but it had shit early chances and even at 20% chance for it to happen isn't worth saving skill books for this. I'll probably only wear it if i do a tech build, but i don't really like anything the armor provides as a whole.
Someone sugguested mannequins for quick swapping gear, but i also have an idea that might help improve a neglected building type.
The lockers, have them act like they do in rust where you can store sets of armor in them and swap to them when needed, they might take up a bit more room in your base tho.
I like the looks of the S Teir Set with the Assassins Hood. That look is awesome and the bonuses. Thanks for doing all of the work and showing us the best armor combination to use.
It's easy to go into the files and change the store sell price section to increase the sell value of all items. It's annoying when sell prices are only like 7% of the purchase price.
Instead of bringing the nerdy helmet with you everywhere, I think it's best suited for horde night. Seeing that if you're out and about you'll be looting mostly unless you're in tier 4-6 POIs.
They reduced the amount of wearable items from 90 to 64, I feel this was done just to save money on making updated 3D models. The old system worked fine for the past 10 years, if anything people wanted more options not less.
Not to mention mod slots as well got reduced with this so we may see many modders probably double the number of slots on gear to allow more playstyles.
@@spacepiratekobold5112 The whole purpose was to make survival more difficult and i promise you it is much harder. also, what you lose in mod slots you make up for in armor bonuses. its a give an take situation. I think the only thing lacking is they should have made all the clothing items cosmetic mods and added a second cosmetic mod slot so you could change your appearance like a simplified transmog. even allowing you to convert armor pieces into cosmetic mods to adjust how you look.
Considering that "getting more XP" also means "having harder hordes faster", I think the Assassins Hood is the better option overall.
Yeah, getting xp faster than normal means you're getting less gear for the same amount of difficulty increase.
@@headhunter1945 Rogue gloves with lockpick skills and you run into ATM town simulator: Stonks
The solution to the mix set being better than ANY full set is to set the default buff values for each piece super low
Then apply a boost to each piece for every other piece in the same set that you wear.
So if you just wear the Rogue hat for the Loot stage buff, itd be like 5% all by itself at legendary, but when worn with other pieces, gets imcrementally buffed until you reach full set providing the listed 20% effect.
so just force people to play in a way they clearly dont want to play if they choose to mix sets? its a god damn pve game so who gives a shit how people play the game! if someone wants to cheat/cheese/mod or whatever just let them do it. the better way would be make sets that work or make sense! its not that hard but if you play the game 3 times a month and have no idea how rpg elements "should" work(im talking about tfp) this is what they come up with^^ its a pretty bad way and im pretty sure most people just start over again after some times and never grind forever just to use some trash set perks. so imo there is no real point in the set items if you cant use them relatively early, most set bonuses dont five you that much in endgame anyways
@@PsYcO9iKiLl9YaH we have to add this is a luck kinda type game so is not going to be easier getting everything in one day lol
I love that the mining set makes grinding recources easyer for non strength builds. Always found it hard to find a balance when playing stealth. I don't want strength but it is kinda essential 😂
I would go for assassin set, but i' will mix another set also:
Preacher Gloves + Biker helmet + ranger boots + nomad suit
For heavy Mace with ergo grip + rad remover + weighted head + beer
He's wrong about the assassin gear in the higher tier areas if you use the right strategy. Walk just far enough in to wake everybody up and then get the hell out of there and go into stealth mode. One second later they forget about you. It works like that now. If you spec high enough in from the shadows, only a few of them are going to follow you the rest are going to forget you. With a full set of high-end assassins gear it looks like they're all going to forget you and you can go back and pick them off one by one out of stealth.
I like this idea. You'll see a lot of players doing walk through clears now.
Assassin set at full tier is like the dude dissapering with the fingers xD
Thank you for taking the time to do these videos
So glad they changed the Nerd Chestpiece Bonus from "Bonus Skill Point Chance" to "Bonus Magazine Point Chance". That makes it much less of a "must have on at all times" and puts it into the situational one... also makes it so that collecting Magazines instead of immediately using them is a good strategy now.
For weapons atleast makes sense if you still have only primitive to evolve it earlier but for iron to steel is oof
Two observations. I really think they went the wrong way with having the "outfit" as the top and bottom and should have split it. Frankly it's going to be hard to find all the pieces, so a lot of times you're going to be mismatched until you have a set. The other thing is the whole problem with the sets. For example you mention the only value of having the farmer set ready when you go to farm your crops. Sure, makes sense, but that's a bunch of stupid work. "Oh let's go farm our crops, hang on while I completely strip down and put on my farmer outfit". I know that's how you get the bonuses, but it just seems like a lot of make work tasks. That's the thing that just makes me feel like why is it so complex. Why not just have different types of armor, footwear, head gear, etc. and be able to wear whatever you want. I guess the sets are interesting, but it seems they're the focus of this and frankly, in first person mode single player who cares what I look like? This is my general feeling for 1.0, it's overly complicated in so many ways. Will still be fine to play but I don't think I'm going to be swapping clothes all the time whenever I want to do something.
in endgame you dont give a single shit about the crops tbh, at the point you have maxed set for the best bonus you dont need to care about crops or something useless like that, its nice to have but if someone uses sets that why its just for the sake of using it rather than using it because you "need" it or because its BiS.
you don't need to use any of niche sets at all. the perks for farming weren't changed. so you can still sustain a farm off 8 crops of each type and 3 points in living off the land. you don't need to wear the mining outfit or lumberjack outfit because with motherload and miner 69er you don't care about stamina that much and you get plenty of resources. I find this is meant more for the roleplay aspect especially with a group of friends. because now people can define their roles and wear that armor and do that job exclusively making them way better at it than they would have been before that. if you don't want to swap your gear out then you just don't have to, but you have the option to when you get into the mid to late game.
as a side note they should add an armor display or mannequin to make it faster for swapping armor though for this reason.
thank you so much for this kind of videos i like to inform myself pretty well in each big change in 7 days to help my friends while playing and your videos really help, i have so much hype to play this new update, the new player models and armor look soooooo good
Great video! I can’t wait to build up some custom sets!
The quality you put out is on a level by itself. Im blown away at every video i see
Awesome video! Thanks for the information!
thank you so much for making this video. My husband and I were playing tonight and I was able to unlock all of these armors to craft, but neither of us could figure out which sets, or pieces of sets, we wanted. At the moment I'm wearing the Wastelander head piece, Preacher chest, Preacher gloves, and Biker boots. I'm sure I'll be trading in the headpiece for the goofy looking Nerd head piece now that I can craft tier 4 :D
Thank you for this explanation, it's nice to already start thinking about what bonuses could be good for each situation. Also love the S tier build, with the rouge hood will def try that out!
Soooo, how often we gotta change clothes now in order to play this game???....
yes 🤣
Alot of these set bonuses dont seem all that spectacular, so it'll probly be a hodge podge of pieces for me
nice, can't wait what Subquake would cook for these new armor set
Totally underwhelmed by those bonuses. And why the heck are some set bonuses the same as just another sets 1 piece. Thats lame. Way to go FP.
Thank you for the guides!!
I tend to lean towards a knuckles only build most of the time these days. I love the knuckles, i love the game play experience of the brawler build. Looking at what youve put together here Im thinking I will probably run the biker outfit for general day to day use while saving the heavy armour for horde nights and tougher fights, while keeping some of those more situational pieces in a box in my base or in my inventory for a quick swap when needed.
Excellent video. The only thing I would have liked to have see that you didn't add was the full lineup on the female character model lol.
I will be keeping sets in the 4x4. The set for runing and killing zombies. One for salvaging and one for looting.
Over all I barely know what I will do until I start playing and know all the mods I can use with what.
S tier: Assassin. Just because of the broken bonus
A tier: Preacher and Biker. Just a good combination of stats and some nice close combat potential, would call them the safest option to play
B tier: Commando and Raider. Not as safe for combat, but still some good status, Commando being more ranged combat, and raider more close combat
C tier: Lumberjack, Scavenger, Rogue, Miner, Farmer. Lots of situational bonuses, feels more like a chore to carry them around just to do one thing, and then change outfit
D tier: Ranger, Nomad, Nerd, Athletic and Enforcer. I just don't see any situation were their bonuses are useful, they just feel gimmicky, as role playing only. At least some pieces have good stats
Thanks for the indepth explanation here dude. The Magazine double chance on the nerd outfit is vaguely worded, but now I know that's what it does I'm going to attempt to get that piece ASAP.
Thanks for the breakdown. I’ll definitely be on the look out for those preacher gloves and rogue hood.
preacher chest and gloves, rogue hood, and athletic shoes is amazing as a full light armor set, rocking it with a stun baton in my current server
This was really helpful! Thank you so much for the breakdown 😊
Much like Marty Robbins, I too am an enthusiast of having a big iron on my hip. Plus, the set looks dapper.
Its interesting in that it adds a bit more duration to the game by giving you multiple sets of gear you are going to want to have. Most of it niche in that you only want to use specific parts for specific tasks, but a lot of fun to play with and work towards. To me the main down side is the need for constant gear swapping though. If you want the best benefit for any given scenario thats going to be annoying.
I've heard something about a wardrobe swap method they're working on. If so, that'll make it much easier to deal with. If you could make your own presets, like via radial wheel, that would be pretty sweet. Or a craftable wardrobe/locker where you can save presets for X number of outfit combos at a click, I definitely wouldn't mind as much.
I mostly play as a builder, so I will get a lot outta the miner and scavenger set. As for appearance, I definitely see myself or someone else making a mod to let you change gear appearance. My favorite feature is greyscale night vision googles effect because I always modded the neon green out. It was headache inducing.
I agree w/ gloves n boots but i might swap out the helmet for lootstage bonus late game and chest for either dmg. resistance or crit. injury resistance depending on what im running. I don't mind tossing a couple of points early game because I tend to go for quality of life perks first like parkour or living off the land, etc. i like the variety tho! Lots of combinations and more useful random items to keep!
one of the best features from the update is the normal chests are now writable. i dont mind less storage space early game
hold up. increased axe damage on lumberjack? does that mean they walked back on teh axe being just a tool?
Probably not. I guess it will become a slightly less awful weapon at best. Maybe it even is just block damage for quicker chopping trees.
I feel like he really undervalued the commando and ranger armor sets. Their bonuses are good and especially for the Ranger set it fixes the issues that the lever action rifle and revolver have. I do find it a little annoying it doesn't benefit the pipe pistol, but I can live with it. The commando set is all about stay at range though so preventing vs faster healing wouldn't make sense. For what the builds represent I find they should be ranked in B tier for the Ranger set and A tier for the Commando set with the commando set being an upgrade to the ranger set.
Enforcer could be niche too, thoses bonuses seems about right when you only do quests since revolver / vulture does the job on zombies and with a bit of parkour and hiker you can keep some zombies away from you and also the less fuel use while having a bike is mmph.
BTW primitive atleast for me is C tier, decent armor rating, no penalty, easy to craft like WAY easier.
This is awsome Tem! Good work again.
Tier 5 heavy boots, gloves, helmet + tier 6 preacher outfit + 4 double armor mods MAKE ZOMBIES (and zombie animals) HEAL YOU ON HIT.
I just tested it.
81% armor rating + 20% damage resistance from tier 6 preacher outfit is practically > 101% damage immunity so yeah. This is busted.
Nice breakdown. Cheers.
They should have mannequins that act as loadouts, allowing you to store and swap full armor sets quickly. While also displaying the cool gear
i feel like the assassin set bonus ( 99% search time ) sounds absolutely busted.
It's probably the only set bonus worth using
I think it is too, but the problem is in order to get the -99% Search Time, you need all four pieces at quality 6 to get the quality 6 set bonus.
In practice, this means you won't get this until Armor Crafting is maxed out and you've found enough legendary parts to make the full set, seeing as how you can't find Quality 6 armor in loot. At this point, I'd say it's safe to assume the player's already in endgame and therefore not nearly as useful as it would otherwise be.
In practicality, with looting, the best you'll get is -75% Search Time, which is still pretty damn good, but not as totally busted.
I love using Sledgehammers, my gear would be:
Biker/Preacher Gloves
Biker Boots
Nomad Helmet (If I am using Healing Factor) / Nerd Helmet / Raider Helmet
Nomad / Raider Chest
I want damage reduction, but not too much as I won't be getting hit as much as a Brawler would be.
Once you get 20% bonus movement speed, you can't go back. 😅
Man, I am looking forward to your 1.0 series... Looking forward to playing too.
Your S tier with assassin hood will be my main overall build for sure.
I did kinda enjoy this video, would be cool to see you tierlist other things beside 1.0 features.
Thanks for that. The wiki seems like no one is even using it. Got my subscription for this one.
Nice. I'd like to see a best melee, ranged, stealth, etc build.
I needed you to list the set that each item came from in your S Tier build at the end, I had to go back to see where they came from (I'd love to see a PDF of the tier lists w/ bonuses ... it's a lot to take in/remember). Also, I'm not likely to swap outfits constantly, that's way to much effort. I'm likely to keep a mining outfit in my mine, maybe the farmer piece by my farm, and a nerd book chest piece in my main space (on the chance that I hold onto books until I get back to my base). Great overview thought!
I am curious about the nerd vs rogue hat. I'm not sure how loot stage works, is it when you open a box? So you'd just put on the Rogue hood as you're opening loot?
I had always planned to use a mixed bag since this (different items giving bonus that out weight the full set) always ends up the meta which is fine I liked your choices and will probably use nerdy helm until 40-60 level range and just turn up the exp at that point.
Really complete overview of the armor sets, but as I was taking some notes I realized that nowhere in your video do you actually make a easy to find listing of exactly what the items are that are contained in your 'S-Tier' set. Maybe this was intentional, I don't know, but it would be nice to see the list so that it is easier to generate a list myself of what I should be keeping an eye out for as I go through the game.. Thanks again for your detailed assessments...
That's some amazing work!
Seems like the only sets that have 'complete' synergy with the playstyle is biker, raider, and assassin. albeit with assassin, cant always sneak as you said. With flat 60% buff to melee dam. across the board for both biker/raider. Almost seems like 1.0 melee is meta. Because beyond that you either get 60% (regardless of weapon type) to zombies with preacher, or 50% (ranged weap.) to all enemy types with commando. So honestly, might just go Nomad for aesthetics, bonus for later game rads, aaaand its giving me major New Vegas vibes!
Can't wait for you to play this version.
Thanks you very much for the comparison. I m a dad and dont have the time for deep dives like that so i m really grateful
Thank you Devs for having this game we enjoy the game together with my family keep up the good work I really like the customizations of character design and every customizing aspects
Great video!
awesome video. cant wait to mix and match myselfe.
seems great and I like the changes for the most part, except moving even more into a carry 10 spare pieces of armor to min max mindset. If we could unlock more inventory slots or have a quick swap and/or a set system to have multiple sets at once equipped it would help with qol.
also full raider ftw
As a lover of all things western, ima be rocking that ranger armor! Already praying for buffs
The Preacher Gloves are crazy OP and feel like a necessity at higher difficulties, making set bonuses pointless for the rest of the gear.
I'll be running around with the rogue set for day to day stuff I believe since I am committed to not utilizing traders as much for my first go (I think they 5x nerf to them is egregious and I'm going to test if just going door to door looting forever is better than questing or not). The helmet + full set may give me enough dukes to buy some stuff here and there from the trader, along with swapping to a pair of glasses to sell high grade loot I might find in the wild. Picking speed (and less break chance) is great bc time is a valuable resource in 7 Days and the safe fall distance lets me get out of PoIs much easier and quicker and again, time is loot.
I will be utilizing your 3 piece miner set + 3 points in the mining perks strat which I dip heavy into Perception/Agility for my first character. So thank you for that idea!
I wish TFP would make the armor sets purely cosmetic and allow us to choose which perks we want to assign to each piece.
Mate, you work really hard. You deserve all the good things that are comming to you if they do.
I liked the build you made , looks much better with the hoodie
Eventually you will have 4 quad pocket armor + 1 double mods, so the chest armor piece in the S-tier can be exchanged for something else (?)
Great analysis! Thanks.
i LOVE the look on the preacher set though...
