@@thespiffingbrit I’m sorry but you have been bamboozled. You have been tricked into doing legitimate work for a normal amount of pay. You were basically tricked into being a bug/exploit tester.

For people who are sad they "fixed" the exploit of disguising alcohol for minor factions. You can instead just do this: disguise swill as whiskey and trade it to a major faction. It will then add in their inventory as whiskey. Now get that "whiskey" back to you, using maybe unused guns or any other items as trade offers, and it's added to your inventory as whiskey. You essentialy converted swill and cheap items into expensive whiskey which you can then sell to a minor faction for infinite money
Or u can let them keep the disguised whiskey because u have all of their good weapons and shit from trading them disguised whiskey and then they have noting to use against u as u raid all their property and finally kill them.

It's a fairly easy exploit once you've got the necessary requirements. All you have to do is get control of the central bank. Print some money and use it to purchase some stocks under your name. You then set the central bank's policy to buying up stocks, which will boost the value of your stocks. You target the buying of stocks such that your stocks are affected first, sell them, then purchase stocks the bank will be driving up in value momentarily. Simply repeat the process as desired.

well this is to some degrees true factions during the prohibition period would produce cheap booze and label it as expensive ones sell it to a second party , second party would sell it to a third party causing a gang war ! because that cheap stuff could kill you !
Man, if I ever start my own video game franchise I will deliberately create a constant stream of exploits just so I can get free advertisement by the lovely gentleman in the video
It's actually brilliant. The Playtesting and Marketing wrapped in a bow of Entertainment. If I had a game being made, my entire marketing budget would be a pallet of Yorkshire Gold.
Another potential opportunity that could be optimised for a video. I used Genna's bleeding knives to acquire a team of around four or five homies. At that point you immediately attack safe houses and upon defeating the boss, you gain everything they have and with each faction you get a new unique weapon that only adds to the snowball.
@@mistertaz94 Germans might do it too, but its a thing in Australia and NZ called a shoey, where you take off your shoe and poor your beer into it and skull it.
The fact that every game that i've seen you play, you manage to find a game destroying trick... and the fact that this game is only like 2 weeks old... you sir are a legend.
You can trade the guns from the goody boxes for the bosses unique weapons, disarming them completely and siphoning all their money in the first 7 in game days by teleporting around the map before you meet them. Perfectly balanced.

How much did you drink!?!" Trooper: "Jusht a few....bottles."
To be fair, it is a surprisingly smart decision to sponsor Spiff, or other exploiters for that matter, to have at their game before its release, because that then clues the4m into game breaking mechanics or the like, and patch them out either before release, or day one patches. Genius.
"Now combat in this is no longer particularly fair, considering that just about everyone can be one shot these days" - European knights when the gun was introduced
I wish more companies would go back to this honestly. Should honestly be paying people who can professionally and succinctly bug test and report issues. Granted these videos are more ad than anything else but I think I recall Spiff stating he sends in reports or something of the like to devs of shit that's wrong.
I like Goldie as a boss. Her ultimate can shoot 3 targets as well as deal collateral damage to people behind and in front of the target. Dropped a hallway of 7 Al Capone Goons practically changing the numbers drastically.
As much as I love these kinds of exploits, I'm kinda saddened whenever I remember a dev might be watching and instantly patch the game to be a bit more balanced. However, the idea of being a mob boss is pretty much scamming everyone, and not only that but also take your enemies by surprise, and destroy them in one fell swoop. And this game certainly delivers on that idea. If developers ever patch this, I hope they put it under a different game mode, maybe call it "blackhand mode", and keep THIS gameplay in the original mode
I've had my eye on this game and grabbed it on release, decided to play as the dapper ass Daniel McKee Jackson and holy hell is his boss ability broken strong. I got my hands on a blue Mauser almost immediately so when I start a fight all I do is run Daniel up and ambush for 10 consecutive reactionless shots each dealing an average of 30 damage (+10 ammo). Admittedly it doesn't shoot through walls or super long range but it can end outdoor combat before the first official round starts, all with a mediocre gun.
@@Goku_Kiyosaki Honestly in its current state I could only really recommend it to people who love the prohibition era setting and enjoy XCom style games but wish it was much easier (also having a high tolerance for bugs is helpful). If that hasn't scared you off and you're ok with a game that's more promise than substance have fun with it.

15:20 Rule of Aquisition 35: Peace is good for business.
The introduction sounds like the scummiest workshop for “getting rich quick”
It just reeks of Tai Lopez
basically a pyramid scheme.
thats how irl get rich
well this is to some degrees true factions during the prohibition period would produce cheap booze and label it as expensive ones sell it to a second party , second party would sell it to a third party causing a gang war ! because that cheap stuff could kill you !
Let's trow in some dynamite
Police: "yeah looks like a local drunken bar fight. Nothing wrong here."
Must've been fireworks
“I used to be a poor citizens of America until I remembered that I am British”
The last time i was this early, Lustig sold the Eiffel tower twice
Man, if I ever start my own video game franchise I will deliberately create a constant stream of exploits just so I can get free advertisement by the lovely gentleman in the video
Is anybody keeping track of how many characters spiff has described as "literally god"?
Aw nice! I had just bought this game and within 5 min of playing I said to myself “Oh spiff would have fun with this!”
Paradox: Here's early access to our new game!
Spiff: I'm going to end this whole man's career...
That's just silly. Spiff has been making Paradox's career.
...and I ain't a playtester
It's actually brilliant. The Playtesting and Marketing wrapped in a bow of Entertainment. If I had a game being made, my entire marketing budget would be a pallet of Yorkshire Gold.
Its actually a women's career.
He just broke a game I've been waiting a year for.
Going to skip it now.
"this whole man's career"🤦♂️
Another potential opportunity that could be optimised for a video. I used Genna's bleeding knives to acquire a team of around four or five homies. At that point you immediately attack safe houses and upon defeating the boss, you gain everything they have and with each faction you get a new unique weapon that only adds to the snowball.
Spiff: Drink your tea
Americans: I like coffee change my mind
Me an Australian: *drinks beer from a shoe* ...what?
_you guys are getting drinks?_
@@DerickMasai Im sure he messed sth up. Of course they dont.
Pretty sure the beer boot is more of a German thing
@@mistertaz94 Germans might do it too, but its a thing in Australia and NZ called a shoey, where you take off your shoe and poor your beer into it and skull it.
Not a big fan of coffee here tbh. Way way too much caffine for me, it throws off my sleep schedule.
The fact that every game that i've seen you play, you manage to find a game destroying trick... and the fact that this game is only like 2 weeks old... you sir are a legend.
I can officially watch your videos without sound and only captions, and in my mind your voice reads it all out... Fantastic
Spiffing Brit discovers the "Safehouse Run" strategy at. @23:45 -- this has since been nerfed by the developer. :P
You can trade the guns from the goody boxes for the bosses unique weapons, disarming them completely and siphoning all their money in the first 7 in game days by teleporting around the map before you meet them. Perfectly balanced.
The sheer amount of tea based energy coming from spiff is inspiring.
Teleports into your safe house, "It's nothing personal, kid."
Found this man on recommended and now I'm a tea drink in just 1 day of binging videos
The Spiffing Brit is a perfectly balanced youtuber with no exploits - Paradox after paying you to promote their game but getting free beta testing.
I love how they fix all fun bugs, but they don´t add shit to the game to make it enjoyable. The exploits were the fun part and they removed them.
I'm guessing none of these exploits work now
Because of you I unironically use yeet in everyday conversations and honestly, 10/10 thank you for this gift.
I genuinely thought Spiff was promoting a pyramid scheme involving Yorkshire Tea in the intro....
I dont even play 90% of the games spiff plays. I just love how he destroys everything in the most fun ways.
Gangsters x Xcom:
Commander: "Alright everyone, I want you to go into the cities, and sell cheap booze to Advent."
Bradford: "Commander, that's the dumbest-"
Commander: "Trust me."
*later*
Trooper: "Whhhy can't I shhooot them? They shent, like, thirty guysh."
Avatar: "There's five of them! Five! How much did you drink!?!"
Trooper: "Jusht a few....bottles."
Only reason they're missing though is because the booze keeps them from panicking.
To be fair, it is a surprisingly smart decision to sponsor Spiff, or other exploiters for that matter, to have at their game before its release, because that then clues the4m into game breaking mechanics or the like, and patch them out either before release, or day one patches. Genius.
Introduction sounded like a pyramid scheme....
Good job.
Pretends I'm not drinking heretical bean juice.
Damn you Spiff you uploaded the video before the release. (The fixed it in release) still a way around it tho. Keep up the good work you slag. Cheers!
After seeing the exploit it makes me think "no wonder why the world sank into an economical depression" lol
these videos are the best adverts, we all want to break the game now!!! :D
Reasons to give spiff an early game key: free bug tests lol
It's not free. They pay him. That's what "sponsor" means
I was just minding my own business, eating a poptart for dinner when Spiff walked in with that intro and made me loath my existence. Thanks pal.
Playing this game right now. Through my “paid” Xbox game pass subscription 🤣
Spiff, you're incredible. Let us catapult you to the top of the TH-cam charts. I salute you good chap!
If "slid with her gun out" isn't in a rap somewhere there is no justice in this world.
Every paradox employee pulling all nighters after letting the spiffing Brit bin it effortlessly, oufff.
"Now combat in this is no longer particularly fair, considering that just about everyone can be one shot these days"
- European knights when the gun was introduced
*crossbows. The nobles actually petitioned the Pope to ban crossbows because it was in their opinion, too Op
*Sets a cup of coffee disguised as tea in the middle of the episode* *Waits patiently*
"Its not out yet, this is an early edition"
no spiff, this is paradox paying you to bugfix their game before launch, and it works
Its QA session not bugfix.
I wish more companies would go back to this honestly. Should honestly be paying people who can professionally and succinctly bug test and report issues. Granted these videos are more ad than anything else but I think I recall Spiff stating he sends in reports or something of the like to devs of shit that's wrong.
I like Goldie as a boss. Her ultimate can shoot 3 targets as well as deal collateral damage to people behind and in front of the target. Dropped a hallway of 7 Al Capone Goons practically changing the numbers drastically.
As much as I love these kinds of exploits, I'm kinda saddened whenever I remember a dev might be watching and instantly patch the game to be a bit more balanced.
However, the idea of being a mob boss is pretty much scamming everyone, and not only that but also take your enemies by surprise, and destroy them in one fell swoop. And this game certainly delivers on that idea.
If developers ever patch this, I hope they put it under a different game mode, maybe call it "blackhand mode", and keep THIS gameplay in the original mode
I've had my eye on this game and grabbed it on release, decided to play as the dapper ass Daniel McKee Jackson and holy hell is his boss ability broken strong. I got my hands on a blue Mauser almost immediately so when I start a fight all I do is run Daniel up and ambush for 10 consecutive reactionless shots each dealing an average of 30 damage (+10 ammo). Admittedly it doesn't shoot through walls or super long range but it can end outdoor combat before the first official round starts, all with a mediocre gun.
Would you recommend the game ?
@@Goku_Kiyosaki Honestly in its current state I could only really recommend it to people who love the prohibition era setting and enjoy XCom style games but wish it was much easier (also having a high tolerance for bugs is helpful). If that hasn't scared you off and you're ok with a game that's more promise than substance have fun with it.
This would be a lot more impressive if the game wasnt already broken to hell and back by default.
Working for a beer distributor, I can 100% confirm this is how the business works
Seems like people would be more pissed off that an individual sold them a bunch of swill and passed it off as top shelf stuff
Especially mobsters
I’m waiting for the day I hear the BBC interview of the knighting ceremony of Sir Spiffing Britonia, who somehow has become the second richest person In the nation behind the queen, and bizarrely is now second in line to the throne. When asked for comment all he said was “The UK is a perfectly balanced country with no exploits.”
100 years ago: Serving alcohol requires a criminal empire.
2020: Serving food requires a criminal empire.
Absolutely Fantastic Video and also Wonderful Game!
I will put it on my wishlist, cant wait to play it myself
Hey Spiff, the devs specifically mention you in the latest 1.03 patch notes so congrats.
Thank you
You know, I think this is the first time I've ever actually watched one of your videos while also drinking tea.
