Just bought Escapists 2 as it was on sale and to play it with friends; it's good to see you still listening to your comments years after release :)) Thanks for the tutorial as well
I craft the Makeshift Stungun whenever paper clips are obtainable (some prisons, like Area 17, Santa's Shakedown, Glorious Regime, etc. don't have them). Besides the fact that you can safely knock out 5 guards from behind with each gun, I like the Makeshift Stungun because 4 out of 5 of its ingredients aren't contraband, so you can just leave them on the floor in front of/inside your cell. Whenever you're in a pickle, all you need is an extra duct tape to assemble the entire thing (and I always keep spare duct tape in my desk or in vents, because of how many important recipes it's used in). If that doesn't work, I craft a couple sets of Nunchucks for their high attack power and 3-ingredient crafting cost, and keep them in my desk/vents for emergency use (if both lumber and wires are obtainable). If THAT doesn't work, I craft Super Sock Maces, because they only require 2 ingredients, and both of those are legal and easily mass-obtainable. About the normal sock mace, I don't really feel like it's worth crafting. There are plenty of non-crafted legal weapons that provide the same damage output, or illegal ones that only require one item/minimal intelligence to craft (e.g. comb/toothbrush shiv).
Been playing 5 years. Decided to look up tips and tricks cause I just KNEW I knew everything. I learned a whole lot from this. LET THE TAKEOEVRR COMMENCE Thanks guy!
A reliable weapon can be useful in many prisons, such as: HMP Offshore, since you need a red key to escape in an efficient way. Fort Tundra, so you can achieve many quests Any timed maps such as Cougar Creek Railroad, so you can travel without worrying about the guards, and on top of that, if you play with some other inmates, you can take over the map. Area 17, so you could get the blue key and achieve most of the escapes. And other maps I didn't mentioned as I never played them so far.
The first things I always do is: 1. Make a Plated Inmate Armour 2. Make Nunchucks 3. Make Wad of Putty 4. Make Molten Plastic 5. Explore to understand the layout of the prison
Honestly I think the fighting system in The Escapists 2 is way too easy. Once you have the right technique, you can take down litterally every guard in the prison with your fists alone at 20 strength and fitness (I have before)
The only one hit weapons are a (cup of molten choc)and a (makeshift stun gun)to craft a cup of molten choc (1x cup)(1x chocolate)and(1x lighter) to make a makeshift stun gun is (1x energy module) (1x paper clip)and(1x duct tape) oh and btw how u craft a energy module is (2x battery)and(1x wire) and the cup of molten choc is 1 hit then brakes but the makeshift stun gun is five hits then it brakes. So i recommend the makeshift stun gun 😰😰😰. Hopefully the tips help u but good luck.
There's something better than the molten chocolate, THE MAKESHIFT STUNGUN!!! It's just an energy module (wire + battery + battery) + duct tape + paper clip. You m ed 60 intellect and it has many uses and is a one hit KO.
Lets hope that dog is now can now be knocked out by using some craft able stuff. I hope that update would happen, because they are OP, the only way to run away and hide.
@@TheRealGuruMatt I missed roll call. And they all searched for me and the reason I missed roll call, before roll call happens, the game went lockdown because i accidentally took guards key. And i removed it and run away as fast as I can. Finding locker that is far away from roll call. Which roll call routine happens and i only have seconds to reach there. Which I don't have enough time to go there.
It's a great weapon and amazing if you're doing a lot of fighting. However it is very resource-heavy, and like you said goes away after 5 uses. That's why it's not my favorite and didn't make the list.
my favorite weapon is the makeshift sledgehammer because compared to other high low high weapons it only takes 60 intelligence to make it but because the broom handle doesnt show up alot i bearly get to use it
@@jesusdiedforoursins6894 I prefer the nunchaku, since it swings swiftly and can deals tough damages But I still like the molten chocolate, not ressource heavy, and yet, it can knock out anyone, at his own cost.
Super Baseball Bat = Baseball Bat + Nails + Duct Tape / Super Whip = Whip + Razor + Duct Tape You can just craft them once and they'll be shown, you don't need to have the recipe visible beforehand.
If you’re not confident with your attacks it’s good to have so you can trade hits while losing less HP. But personally, I usually don’t bother. It uses duct tape that I’d probably want to use for something else.
No it does not, except for the Hot Chocolate, Stungun, and Makeshift Stungun. Hot Chocolate his 1 use only and the Stunguns only have 5 uses each before breaking.
Another thing I factor into weapons that I like, is how easy they are to make. The Super Whip is indeed a great weapon, but a large amount of resources (some hard to find) make it less valuable since it's not as easy to get. That's why I really enjoy nunchucks. I usually only need a medium range, and their damage and swing speed are very respectable. They're also super easy to make, needing only 2 wood and 1 wire to construct.
TheRealGuruMatt The super whip isn’t very hard to make. Super baseball bat needs timber and nails instead of wire and razor, which are contraband. The only weapon that is as good as the super whip is the super metal baton, which is much harder to get.
The only thing i hate about this game is dogs, if they didnt exist on this game at the first place (or at least can be beaten) i would rather fight everyone than escaping
What i use is just middle mouse botton (heatseeker) and normal fist As you know the fist is the most usefull weapon why Its free You dont lose it (why would anyone wana lose there hands) Decent damage Good to spam and for a quick easy kill
Keys never end up in the contraband desk, sadly. The only way to avoid lockdown is to make a copy with putty and put it back on them before the medics take them away. And of course, if you need more time, you could use duct tape or rope to tie them up so the medics will ignore them for a while.

Thanks for the tutorial as well
Another 1 hit weapon is the makeshift stungun
1 energy module (battery x2, and 1 wire)
1 paper clip
1 duct tape
Stungun op for escapes
You can use it five times then it brakes
I thought 1 use then gone like the molten chocolate
@@checkerszome76no, you can use it 5 times
@xxXHenry_StickminXxx That's cool, but I don't play the game anymore

There called transport prisons not timed prisons
@@TheSamsungCollector They still use timings. But thank you for your respect of words.

2. Make Nunchucks

4:16 but that convict has a contraband!

Dang your channel is growing so fast gj and keep up the good work
Great tutorial, lots of tips I didn't know and straight into the learning, thank you :)

this is me I'm on a different account because the account that I wrote this comment on was my phone that is currently broken so this is my new account
I just got the game for free and this video is very useful, thank you for the advice.
Glad it helped!
Wait...
You’re even killing your computer. You can hear the computer fan in the background.
Yeah, the mic I was using was pretty bad.
Ah man, can’t store stuff in toilets anymore.
*I can take on everybody in the prison, inmates, guards, and riot guards, with a plastic spoon. I win.*
*I also like the comb shiv and the comb blade. Unlike you, i like low range high speed weapons.*
Its probably in Central Perks 2.0 they can get 2 shot
i like killing with mops
Dogs: I'm gonna stop you right there
I like to just beat everyone i see at lunch
There's something better than the molten chocolate, THE MAKESHIFT STUNGUN!!! It's just an energy module (wire + battery + battery) + duct tape + paper clip. You m ed 60 intellect and it has many uses and is a one hit KO.
I think you can get a real stun gun if you buy it in space prison but I think the stats are the same.
Lets hope that dog is now can now be knocked out by using some craft able stuff. I hope that update would happen, because they are OP, the only way to run away and hide.
As long as you don't have a key at least. >_
@@TheRealGuruMatt I missed roll call. And they all searched for me and the reason I missed roll call, before roll call happens, the game went lockdown because i accidentally took guards key.

If you just came back from medic because you got knocked out,and then you wake up and doesn't able to reach there,a lockdown wont happen
@@MaxerV19 well, there no guards that want to beat me up.
Boy,if you know you cant reach the roll call,just surrender and lockdown wont trigger
My favourite weapon is Makeshift stungun it has 5 uses but each one is one hit kill.
It's a great weapon and amazing if you're doing a lot of fighting. However it is very resource-heavy, and like you said goes away after 5 uses. That's why it's not my favorite and didn't make the list.
I used it to kill any guard that came near me when i was doing a rock-hammer hard place escape! It's a really useful weapon
TheRealGuruMatt it's easy to get on uss anomaly
my favorite weapon is the makeshift sledgehammer because compared to other high low high weapons it only takes 60 intelligence to make it but because the broom handle doesnt show up alot i bearly get to use it

the toilet has been flooded self 6:00
That happens on maps where there is a job to fix toilets. Auto-flooding so you're not out of work!
Radio is good actually
Maybe future we listen something 😁
Can you tell me how to get the recipe for the cup of molten chocolate
Mug + Chocolate + Lighter, if I remember right
@@TheRealGuruMatt oh sorry I mean like from a pay phone you know how to get recipes
@@kermitlefrohg3232 You can still make it as long as you have the intellect, you don't really need the recipe.
How do u get the recipe for, the super baseball bat and the super whip?
Super Baseball Bat = Baseball Bat + Nails + Duct Tape / Super Whip = Whip + Razor + Duct Tape
You can just craft them once and they'll be shown, you don't need to have the recipe visible beforehand.
Yes but when I try to make it nothing happens, I have 100 of everything too
@@Wheigishsvfjsikfirgivj Sorry man, I dunno then.
Oh ok
Omg, that tons of bed sheets XD.
But there still bed sheet on the beds
@@MaxerV19 because they respawn xD by unknown entity
If they charges u can attack them so u interrupt their attack.
Great point!
Thx!
Well, I’m a pacifist in TE2. I use fighting only when I need a key or it’s in someone’s quest.
Thanks for the guide
How do you get the super knuckles duster weapon?
First you need to find a Knuckle Duster, or make one with a razor blade and duct tape. Then you need to combine that with an energy module.
Amazing video, love this game and you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What about the stun gun you can get in the H.M.P offshore it's on the roof of a building and it's not the makeshift stun gun it's like a proper one
That works exactly like a makeshift stungun, in that it has five hits before breaking.
I would of thought that it would never break because it looks like it only in one prison
Actually, you can also buy them from shops on the USS Anomaly, even if it’s super expensive at 200 gold though.
Oh cool I didn't know that
@@TheRealGuruMatt yeah i actually bought one in Uss anomaly
What about the plated uniform?
If you’re not confident with your attacks it’s good to have so you can trade hits while losing less HP. But personally, I usually don’t bother. It uses duct tape that I’d probably want to use for something else.
hi do you know the world record of knockouts in 1 prison? I'm at least 250
Haha that's probably the world record! Nice!
yessss
Does fighting use up tool durability? Also I think super whip is the best weapon, it’s
High range, high damage, like the super baseball bat, but also medium speed, which is better than most other long range weapons.
No it does not, except for the Hot Chocolate, Stungun, and Makeshift Stungun. Hot Chocolate his 1 use only and the Stunguns only have 5 uses each before breaking.
Another thing I factor into weapons that I like, is how easy they are to make.

@@szthanley3178 Super metal baton is easy to get if you have a good plan
how do you block
You should be able to check what button it is in settings.
God video. but you did not tell me that the mug is a 1 time use thing
Riot guards take two hits with highest damage weapons
Their armor makes them tough!
Real tough dude!
I stole their baton and make a super metal baton
How do you get a broom handle?
It's in desks sometimes.
@@TheRealGuruMatt like inmate or other desks or all desks because I would like to craft stuff like a energy sword
I got the super baton its very good and its kinda easy to get is it still worth it?
If you like it, I say go for it. I just personally prefer other stuff.
How Craft super knuckle duster?
Nails (I think) + Tape + Duster.
The only thing i hate about this game is dogs, if they didnt exist on this game at the first place (or at least can be beaten) i would rather fight everyone than escaping
What i use is just middle mouse botton (heatseeker) and normal fist
As you know the fist is the most usefull weapon why
Its free
You dont lose it (why would anyone wana lose there hands)
Decent damage
Good to spam and for a quick easy kill
Fists are great, but I personally like having a bit of range. Go with what works for you, of course!
wieosoeosos eyhdhehd I use fists too but if I’m too lazy then I craft makeshift stungun.
kuckle duster how to get ???
Craft two batteries together with wire, then craft that with a set of brass knuckles and duct tape if I remember correctly.
Is that fort tundra?
That it is. I think I had a save file at the time with a ton of resources, I and I liked using it to demonstrate since it had a large, indoor hallway.
How do you block on PS4?
There should hopefully be a list of controls in the settings menu somewhere.
Gurumatt one question can you take a key from a guard and drop on them and if it ends up in the officers desk can you have the key without a lockdown?
Keys never end up in the contraband desk, sadly. The only way to avoid lockdown is to make a copy with putty and put it back on them before the medics take them away. And of course, if you need more time, you could use duct tape or rope to tie them up so the medics will ignore them for a while.
How do you make a key mold?
Putty + Key (Any color)
50 Intellect.
Coool thx!
*but still dogs are always op *
How do I Rove bed sheets
On the computer you hold down "E", or whatever key is your action button for other versions.
@@TheRealGuruMatt okay thanks
thank you sensei
Mine is is the baseball bat cause it is not contraband and it's speed is high:-J
Baseball bat is contraband and speed is low though?
TheRealGuruMatt maybe he meant baseball
I think USE radio
My save data got corrupted and I have to start all over again 😢😢😢😢😢
Oh no! D:
Haha love you ❤❤❤❤
I use run and gun and if they charge at me I block
Nice, that's the way to do it!
Thithhhh determinthhssss
Tazer is good for one hit ko also
Hi
What a bout batons
They're a decent weapon, but contraband, and there's other, better options for contraband weapons. Not bad to have in a pinch though!
Broom Warrior for me.
Dogs are 𝙾𝙿
Lol cool
Hi Guru I played on the same prison as you my Gamertag is XxSennaGamzxX also i liked and subbed!!
Oh hey good to see you Senna! Thanks for the sub!
Ahhh this mic
How do I make the officers follow me
You can hit them, or if they don't like you they'll naturally follow you around.
