Are melee guys good? Never made one. Also I played 1 game and had to restart because everything went to hell. Do you have to have multiple teams? I only had 1 and it seemed hard to stay ahead of the enemy
Thanks for sharing this! Its a shame we cant respec the perks on a merc because in the beginning mistakes will be made. Few of this type of videos has been made. They are just now coming out as people figure out what perks work best for whatever role. It'd be nice if we could undo our choices for the more proper choice instead of starting the game over.
Total concentration as a finisher after a grenade is pretty nice too, especially if you've got a weapon with very low AP cost, give it to Ivan and keep going till you need to reload.
Snipers : Fast Runner / Frogleaping / Lightning Reactions / Anatomical Precision / Total Concentration then get Beefed up and Vanguard or Recoil Management or Breach and Clear and Shock Assault for Maximum movement and nasty one taps. Don't get Sharpshooter, you have to spec into Overwatch which you wouldn't really use on a sniper and Total Concentration gives you enough DMG to one tap anything in the lategame anyway. Never spec into melee, you are gambling with your mercs life and that is jsut waiting for desaster to happen and it also takes a lot of skillpoints to make melee even remotely viable. In general: Stay as far away from enemies as possible, free move is your best friend. Dex tree is for machine gunners.
Specializing in melee with your imp character is a completely viable strategy. Other mercs I'd agree are hard to make it work because it needs a lot of perks but the imp melee build can be a monster if you can be patient for the early levels when they don't have the perks yet.
Danke, gute Videos ;) Ich plane mehr als ich spiele und war zuerst auf dem Trip mit 10 Perks zu rechnen, dann die Erkenntnis das überhaupt nur 9 möglich sind, dann die Erkenntnis das wahrscheinlich die meisten auch das nicht erreichen...oh die vielen schönen Perks und die noch schöneren Plane. Nein, alles gut...nur schade das manches halt einfach universell overpowered ist, weswegen ich versuche etwas mehr zu mischen.
Haha, ja ich hatte das Video angefangen und auch mit einem Stufe 10 Merc gemacht. Dann ist mir aber aufgefallen, dass eigentlich alle eher Stufe 6 oder 7 waren.. und daher das Video neu aufgenommen und eher "realistisch" gehalten.
Kaylna's Active is so much better than just AP, it pretends the armor isn't there, ,so it does more damage, and let's you achieve 100% crit rate with deadeye, HP ammo, and prism scope. She one taps the Stormtrooper gunners.
Wieder einmal ein klasse Beitrag. Ich würde mich über ein Übersichts- und Empfehlungsvideo zu allen Waffen freuen. Und ja ich weiß, das ist Arbeit :P Wenn du in der Videobeschreibung einen PayPal-link einfügen würdest würde ich was springen lassen ;)
Danke dir für das Lob! Man merkt leider, wie das Interesse an JA3 abflacht - hoffentlich können ein paar Mods das Spiel so lange am Leben erhalten, wie sie es bei JA2 geschafft haben. Das wird noch sehr interessant werden. Ich verlinke einen Paypal.me Link auf dem Profil - Ist aber wirklich nicht nötig! :)
Good video!! I disagree on the melee build. Almost all strength perks are melee and the huge one is true strike that makes 100% of melee strike crits. Mixed with other strength melee perks and a machete instead of just fists and all melee hit nearly always succeed and do over 150 damage. Try hit! :)
Fair enough! As mentioned in the video description, @HexxatGaming had another nice melee build so I guess a lot of combinations work! Thanks for your input, appreciate it!
👍👍 If it wasn't for your tut-vids, tips and your comment section, I would've totally stopped playing JA3. THQNordic owe you a sh!tload of gratitude. We thank you (x and your comment section x)
Thanks man, appreciate it!! I will continue to upload the shorts, but besides of that I guess more or less all has been said on game mechanics. But THQ has some awesome games upcoming!
@@chr_isso I believe they do. Don't get me wrong, I like games (open-world) that make you think /repercussions ect... but we need guidance, a finger to point the was, an arrow in the dirt, what to sell/keep/save/need for quests & etc... I'm not into gamers with facecams, but I'd love to watch your playthrough. Thanx (I'm good to go (now) thanx again 😁
Stealth kill chance is pointless, you don't need the damage boost since a headshot burst with a dragonov will ohko every enemy that's not a boss. The chance often caps with no perks at all when you are out of combat. Melee builds
@Querulously Yes. As far as I observed there is a difference 1. To trigger a stealth kill the merc has to be in stealth mode (obviously) 2. If you trigger a stealth kill, the weapon damage is irrelevant. If it triggers, the victim dies, no matter health or weapon strength. 3. Does not work on Bosses.
Exactly. There is a good video from @Kordanor on this and this is why I didn't go with the damage perks. But - if the stealth kill fails, you still might kill the enemie due to enough damage done (failed Stealth Kill).

Tbh they can work, but are situational.
On my playthroughs i preferred to simply shoot the head out of stealth...

There pretty sure will be a mod for it once they release the mod editor!
@@chr_isso Hope so!

yeah I can imagine! The 3 AP after a kill from Ivan is crazy!

Her Skill is simply OP, matter of fact!

Ich hoffe doch das die Entwickler ein paar DLCs in petto haben um das Spiel fresh zu halten. Die mods werden natürlich auch dabei helfen.

Yeah that's one way to do it.
As in the description, all roads lead to rome ;-)
is there a difference between a kill that is a stealth kill rather than a kill with a silent weapon that one shots ?
@Querulously Yes. As far as I observed there is a difference
1. To trigger a stealth kill the merc has to be in stealth mode (obviously)
2. If you trigger a stealth kill, the weapon damage is irrelevant. If it triggers, the victim dies, no matter health or weapon strength.
3. Does not work on Bosses.
I hate the druganov, the durability on it deteriorates do quickly when burst firing. I prefer the Psg1 for me at least.
Exactly.
There is a good video from @Kordanor on this and this is why I didn't go with the damage perks.
But - if the stealth kill fails, you still might kill the enemie due to enough damage done (failed Stealth Kill).
lol, face reveal
Thought I do it in a funny way, but I'll keep the cam off most of the time :)
