Notes: I DO NOT PROMOTE CROUCH METHOD. This is a little cheese and very risky to do. You can hit anywhere on Nut, doesn’t have to be the eye but eye must be up. Nuts can see/shoot through doors. I learned you actually can get 0 bullets in the shotgun by killing the nutcracker the just after it shot its second shot (but it’s very hard to get this).
I dont know if it still works but from previous experience crouching behind it will cause it to shoot over you and be unable to kick you. (It also could be you had to be on its side.)
oh i saw this before,and almost PRO lethal company streamer knew this. but.. worst case is when you hitting him with crouch he could be walk towards you and killed you sometimes happen,dont take risk that. i rather using 2 hit and run waiting his reloading.
Not sure if that sound is what it makes when walking around or if it's background music playing, but that military drumroll really adds to the tension and atmosphere of battling this brass dude.
Nutcracker got buffed really hard, the aim walking is very scary when engaging on bad place without enough cover. Making players being forced to kill it faster before it changes the pattern. Anyway, learned on hard way, is still possible to cheese them by crouching+circling them. You can kill it very fast and able to fight them on open space. Only thing to take care is from their frontal kicks, just stay on its side or behind it. Hope its not gets patched.
@@dinoaurus1 shovel and baiting is a lot easier imo and more safe but this method does work. However I will try to include stun grenades in future guides.
other easy strategy is just crouch and come to him as close as you can and just hit with shovel. He can't shoot you like that but you have to hope that he won't just go straight into you and kill you. Also right now there is challenge moon in which if you order shovel and go to main right after that, nutcracker will spawn in main. So that is easy way to train killing him rn
You can avoid being kicked if you just quickly stand up to bait him to shoot a second time. Then you finish him up with 3 hits while he's reloading. Plus you get a fully loaded shotgun every time by doing it like that
Nutcracker stops to shoot once he sees you moving, once it stops it won’t move until it shoots, once it starts moving again it can go into the stop phase to shoot you. It only sees camera movement, crouching, and emoting. It can NOT see WASD movement. Walking around without touching mouse will NOT aggro it, as long as you don’t crouch in its vision. Most likely will be patched out though.
Hey quick question, what mods do you use to make these videos? I want to set up a single player game to practice fighting the nutcrackers by myself without any risk
I remberer a funny story that happened to me when facing against the nutcracker so I was just playing around In the mansion map of Lethal but I figured out my E key broke on me mid game which means I couldn’t interact, grab stuff, open doors or even exit the facility Then a nutcracker spawned and I couldn’t do anything when it spotted me I was forced to loop around the purple pillar here 2:15 multiple times to make sure I don’t die it didn’t really work and I died but it was still a funny story.
pro tip: kill the nutcracker right after reloading, then you'll get a fully loaded shotgun and 2 additional bullets! 2nd pro tip: dont use the shotgun for everything, its meant for hard to deal enemies like Bracken, Thumper or another Nutcracker Jester has a very big invisible box around it that deletes bullets, so it can screw some shots
If you are scared to do this cheese method you can also just use stun grenade and quickly hit the nutcracker 5times with shovel or sign. The nut cracker will get stunned
this is more of a fight than a cheese, sorry for being pedantic but cheesing implies completely abusing one of it's mechanics while requiring less skill/time to kill than normal, and this is very much a test of your skill with spacing and timing, the crouch method however, i'd say falls under the "cheese" umbrella now nerd react me.
@@Est.-. If a guy is trying to shoot me, and I duck under his shot I fail to see how that is cheesing. At that point might as well say hiding behind cover is cheesing, the guy is trying to shoot me, I am abusing the fact his bullets can't go through solid objects in order to survive.
He mentioned GameMaster somewhere else but when I tried it very recently it was broken and the features didn't seem to work right. It might still be partially functional. Currently I've been testing the ChatCommands mod out, it's pretty promising for testing purposes though there are things it can't do (I haven't found a mod that lets you manipulate what time it is for example)
I recommend the pest control mod, u can control mob spawns I had been doing nutcracker killing practice runs with only nutcrackers spawning, paired with more starting credit mod for some credits to get to rend early and get a few shovels
zeekers put out 2 hotfixes, v48/v49 but didn't announce them on steam V48 changed fall damage slightly V49 fixed up the masked, incorrect scrap amounts, and the inverse teleporter If you open the game it says V49 in the bottom left
They seem to zoom a bit when pausing to reload now which appears to make them clip through objects sometimes. For example, I’ve had one appear behind me trying to loop around L-shaped bookshelves and one zoomed on top of me and insta-kick when looping around one of the main entrance pillars on Mansion layout. I’m not sure if this is intended behaviour but it feels very janky and it’s pretty frustrating to get killed by jank.
By "it can only see movement" do you mean that if you hide behind a wall then stop moving it won't shoot you? If not, dyk how long it takes to de-aggro or do you just have to leave at that point?
0:16 you can see the timing very clearly. The second I move my mouse when it is looking at me it gets angry. Once it is angry it will know you’re there even if you’re not moving.
@@redsquirrel9961 yes after it aggros even if you hide and stand still if it finds you it will shoot. Unless it goes back into patrol mode where it’s just standing still looking around
Not sure how long exactly but going by the video you have to stay completely out of line of sight for about 8 or 9 seconds. I believe 8 seconds is the timer used for several other creatures so it's likely the same. Once it has spotted you and become aggressive, the only thing you can do is run and stay out of sight for long enough, staying still will just make it easier for it to catch you.
Hey bread, do you use any mods for spawning enemies for demo/practice? I would love to practice killing nutcrackers and stuff but its so annoying solo with bad spawns. I'd just want to go to rend, grab a shovel and spawn a nutcracker
Don’t they still come after you even if you hide because they’ll remember you so if they see you despite the fact you’re not moving they will come get you or at least try to
you can just go up to it and crouch and hit it 5 times before it even reload, and it does then drop with 0 shots. It can't shoot you if youre close and crouched, you just have to back up to avoid the initial random step. This is by far the easiest and least stressful method
It still works, it's just harder since the positioning isn't the same anymore. It is riskier than it used to be, definitely, much easier to mess up by being too close.
Bro i was running from a nutcracker and i left the room it was in and crouched down in a corner. It entered the doorway, slowly spun around, and then executed me. I didn't move an inch.
He continues attacking you unless you stay out of sight for what appears to be about 8 seconds. Once you're spotted all you can do is get behind something.
After about 8 or so seconds out of its sight it loses track of you and goes back to its previous behavior. At this point it won't have any memory of you and you can go back to treating it how you normally would.
The nutcracker only cares about movement. But even touching your mouse (moving the camera) counts, using emotes counts. Not certain about whether being pushed by someone else counts.
You could never do this. Once it spots you even if you don’t move if it roams when angry and finds you it will shoot. You need to hide until he goes back to scanning state.
It's v49 48 and 49 are not large updates and I have not found patch notes about them...I assume they are only minor bugfixes or other things like that. Go make sure your game is updated, it'll say v49 in the bottom-left corner on the main menu.
in the previous vid you hit the nutcracker while crouched and at point blank range of its legs; the shots missed you and you could still do damage. is that stilla viable strategy or nah?

@@call_me_bread Once again requesting a bunker spider guide. :) Thanks!
oh i saw this before,and almost PRO lethal company streamer knew this.
but.. worst case is when you hitting him with crouch
he could be walk towards you and killed you sometimes happen,dont take risk that.
i rather using 2 hit and run waiting his reloading.
something you should note, they can see and shoot you through doors, at least with mansion map from my experience
Same goes for the Facility map, can see through and bullets can and will fire through the metal doors. Does not work with the secure doors though.
Yeah that just makes sense that this goes for real life shotguns 2 heavy metal will stop a shotgun but not heavy metal playing
Not sure if that sound is what it makes when walking around or if it's background music playing, but that military drumroll really adds to the tension and atmosphere of battling this brass dude.
i think it's music that's coming from inside the nutcracker, no idea tho
the music is played when the nutcracker spots someone
i see you everywhere. toontown and now lethal corporation

It should get patched imo. Cheesing should not be an answer (partially why I didn’t include it)
@@call_me_bread any reason you didnt include dropping a stun grenade, aggroing with a hit then just killing it while its stunned?
@@dinoaurus1probably because stun grenade being an answer is obvious to almost everything
@@dinoaurus1 shovel and baiting is a lot easier imo and more safe but this method does work. However I will try to include stun grenades in future guides.
@@call_me_breadit ain't cheesing if he added a kick to the crouching tech
As someone who has played the (current) challenge moon a lot, nutcracker's super easy to deal with and killing it is very rewarding. Great video btw!
You are making this look easy
It might be all the practice I have but hopefully the demonstrations help!
it is as long as its by itself and you figured out the looping place
it's very easy once you know what you're doing
once you do it a few times its pretty easy to replicate tbh
I love this creature mostly for it's shotgun but it's also a fun boss fight that's much better than hold S and swing
Ermmm... I feel like saying "will kick you to the moon" is a bit redundant in this case 🤓
Putting the nerd emoji at the end of a comment like this doesn't make you any less of a cuck
lmao only good comment with the nerd emoji in TH-cam history
you cant even prove the moon is physical.
Didn't notice that its head spin when shooting. That's cute.
I'd argue that the corner method is actually easier now because it makes the spacing better for the last two hits.
Nutcrackers are my favorite enemy since they are unique and easy to kill
They are such a balanced enemy. You don’t have to fight them if you don’t want to and fighting them is still slightly risky but gives a reward!
One other thing I found that helps, Hopefully it works on vanilla but you can scan its weapon to keep track of it around larger bookshelves/coridors
other easy strategy is just crouch and come to him as close as you can and just hit with shovel. He can't shoot you like that but you have to hope that he won't just go straight into you and kill you.
Also right now there is challenge moon in which if you order shovel and go to main right after that, nutcracker will spawn in main. So that is easy way to train killing him rn
I do not promote this strategy. It is risky and a bug in the game.
@@call_me_breadgame could be fix that.
or there's a chance the nutcracker could walk towards you when does that trick.
i saw that before 😂
You can avoid being kicked if you just quickly stand up to bait him to shoot a second time. Then you finish him up with 3 hits while he's reloading. Plus you get a fully loaded shotgun every time by doing it like that
"still easy"
I suck so much, haven't gotten a single kill after a ton of time on rend lmao
I'll keep trying
Get better then
I always try to tell myself to take my time and never greed for more than 2 hits. Then I end up greeding anyways and getting blasted
Wow! Look at how cool you are! Wow!@@bacongon8292
practice moon this week helps a ton, two or three nutcrackers spawn pretty quickly. You might need a second to watch the coilheads though
You can do this
They're also called Nutcrackers because they literally kick you in the chestnuts.
Comment for the engagement.
Keep doing a good job!
Stun grenade or bringing a radar booster (for flash) is also nice. Although the radar booster needs a lot of coordination (so difficult).

Hey quick question, what mods do you use to make these videos? I want to set up a single player game to practice fighting the nutcrackers by myself without any risk
Game Master is an option
I remberer a funny story that happened to me when facing against the nutcracker
so I was just playing around In the mansion map of Lethal but I figured out my E key broke on me mid game which means I couldn’t interact, grab stuff, open doors or even exit the facility
Then a nutcracker spawned and I couldn’t do anything when it spotted me I was forced to loop around the purple pillar here 2:15 multiple times to make sure I don’t die it didn’t really work and I died but it was still a funny story.

Hey friend, what mod so you use to.make your videos? I would like to practice a bit ^^;
Welp time for another nutcracker video

pro tip: kill the nutcracker right after reloading, then you'll get a fully loaded shotgun and 2 additional bullets!
2nd pro tip: dont use the shotgun for everything, its meant for hard to deal enemies like Bracken, Thumper or another Nutcracker
Jester has a very big invisible box around it that deletes bullets, so it can screw some shots
great overview of the nutcracker
You can crouch close to them and they will not touch you with bullets
I needed this lmao ty
I came up with a similar enimie that's like a mechanical mosin nagant wielding soldier

do they recognise u once they lost agro or can u stand still and they dont see u again?

If he shot you once then you stopped moving, does he ignore you or continues shooting at you ?
He continues attacking you unless you stay out of sight for what appears to be about 8 seconds. Once you're spotted all you can do is get behind something.

He’s lying. With enough practice this strategy is the optimal one.
You still can, but it's a lot harder because now you can be TOO CLOSE and get kicked, so the positioning is tighter than it used to be.
