Shield can be useful against certain enemies like the Distorted Hiss and bosses that use projectiles. I saw one guy use it very well in the Tommasi side quest. He had his back to the wall in an upper corner in the room so enemies wouldn't hit him from behind. And when a Distorted Hiss came towards him he used Shield to protect himself from the blast and took it out with his service weapon (forgot what form he used).
@@Maka91Productions this is not the use for shield. its use is just like evading, dodging, just that in this case you aren't running away but shielding yourself from some hits. useful only in boss fights I believe. you alternate the rounds the enemy hits you with rounds you are hitting back.
@@Maka91Productions But launch doesn't block damage tho, so yeah sure while its more effective at attacking, the shield is there for a reason, for defence. Saying its useless makes me think you've never played a hard game where you NEED to defend yourself to even survive a fight let alone win it
shield is also actually a really good aggro tool to close the distance with enemy, if using something like shatter, especially when you combine shield with evade
My favorite thing about LAUNCH ability is when you grab an item from behind an enemy and it knocks them out as you pull the item in towards you. Makes for some funny moments and the possibility of an easy double kill Also you forgot to mention with the SHIELD ability you can upgrade to launch shrapnel as you release it and you can ground pound from LEVITATION
shields much more of an "oh shit" button. when ur about to die, use it to pick up health and buy time then when ur all good, sneeze it all on someone. or also to buy time. if ur all of a sudden surrounded with no cover, shield up to move to cover. or even use it to push through a group to gain a better position.
rob13589 dude you do realize they shoot right they shoot at you not hit you physically so floating for as long as you want would be good but you would be able to mix it up I’m not arguing with you by the way but that’s something I would like but I respect your opinion.
@MysteryRomantic Games I was playing it today and was using the Charge Pistol and fired a single spinning bullet and then instantly used my telekinetic grab and it held the bullet for to send it another way then I tried it while levitating too! 🤘 Awesome trick!
The charge weapon is good for groups of enemies. You can hold down the fire button and it will charge to the point of firing on its own unleashing a huge explosion. Just be far away when it goes off. It will damage you too.
the grenade launcher is dope! I use it a ton. There's 2 maybe 3 useful mods for it are "increase blast radius", "projectile speed" and "increase damage"..have those 3 and its the ultimate crowd control...just dont use it too close to yourself..obviously. Not sure how you are using its but you obviously dont aim it AT your target..you aim at the ground/wall they are near
@Jacki wow I'm dumb that's my favorite weapon and I don't know that also someone said you can stop the projectile in mid air and make it move in a different direction but didn't say how
Shield is fantastic, the upgrades basically turns it into a giant shotgun as when you drop the shield you throw everything in front of you forward and hit your enemies dealing decent damage and stunning them a little. That plus upgraded launch where you throw 3 things at once? Amazing damage.
Shield is useful when health points are scattered far from you and you have to get there on low health and also there is a red monster that vomits and can disappear I don’t think it’s possible to defeat that without shield you can evade but shield is just better I don’t use it much either Launch is just awesome
The Charge Gun If You shoot 1projectile bullet and move forward while using your telekinetic grab. You’ll be able to pull the bullet back and hold it & send it like a rocket. levitate and try it 2
If I was the dev of a game like this one I would create hundreds of skills lol I just love cool-looking skills. I feel very underwhelmed after watching this video.
Shield is super usefull against bosses,ppl dont use shield againts mobs,and they later have problem with bosses,as example mirror boss,when she get to lower health and start flying just use shield to block rockets,then she will charge teleport in front of u,remove shield and kick her ass in close range.Infested poison boss,just stay at rockand when he launch attack use shield,then boss is to eazy.
The Charge (which is rather a bazooka) can deal massive damage, but you have to use it very carefully because you hurt yourself badly if the rockets explode too close to Jesse. so don't use it like a shotgun ;). it's an awesome weapon when in air to get rid of several grouped enemies at once (mod: explosion ratio). you can even convert it into a faster paced rocket launcher if you find the +500% missile speed perk - when you have it, aiming is far more easy, better said enemies won't dodge the attack as much as without. For the sake of completion: The AWE DLC gives you a further weapon type called "Surge" which is really designed like a grenade launcher. fun! The Foundation DLC gives you a further skill called "Shape" which enables the ability to transform parts of the environment. overall the most useless skill imho cause it only works in levels of the DLC itself and even there isn't as joyful as the ones you already have in your pocket. I'm still confused about one skill but have no idea how to unlock/execute it - when in air, escape/dash upwards. not sure if it's really in the game or someone has cheated this ability into his game. see here : ruclips.net/video/ZB81bB8fImc/видео.html ( the last movement the player did to reach the hidden location. at least I got that one with a different strategy :D )
I love it... It's like you have a bad ass telekinetic abilities and a pistol that has multi-functions with infinite ammo. give me that gun and those abilities in real life plz :3
did this dude even beat the game? Shield can also attack multiple enemies and YEAH it gets tough so u use the shield to ease your way to health and gtfo dodge. I still haven't even passed the Astral Maze so I don't even know what else you can do. But shield is pointless??? lol
@@gojouftw5323 how is it a ripoff? its telekinesis. it wasnt pioneered by any one game. im not too familiar with second son as i only played infamous 2 but they are vastly different especially in plot. but regardless, im pretty sure control is based off of their previous game quantum break, with the powers and gunplay.
I think the charge mode for the gun works like a thermobaric does. Specifically in the fact that it takes in the environment and shoots it out as shrapnel along with the explosion. Meaning the more shrapnel it takes in the bigger the damage. Maybe. It's just a a guess.
HELP!!! i play on pc and i can`t change weapon. I look into the menu controls and there is not an to change the weapon opcion. I push every key from my keyboard ... someone can helpme please?
Thank you. Good explanation of choices. I’m still unclear on how guns are modified or another carry slot is earned.? Ability points or experience points.
The guns you get the option later in the game and you can create it at an control point, you get another slot by spending points, or upgrading the weapons, ability points you get through missions.
Bro charge is a very good weapon. And if want a secret you of it then just hold the fire button and do not release it then see the magic...Please reply if you like it...😁
I wish the gun could turn into a goddamn sword. I can't stand ranged combat. I love everything else about the game though, just not the gun. Guess I'll pass on this one, good thing I got it free on ps plus
It's for repositioning if all enemies are surrounding you and upgrading it will allow you to shoot debris at enemies. I use it for bosses and repositioning, never use it in the middle of a battle field 🤦♂️
@@imaginewagons3777 I really enjoy it. but depending on how you are it is very back and forth and to me the map is good and the signs on walls are actually helpful BUT the description for locations on missions can be confusing there is no thing to help you find things no pointing it on the map.

Ps: 8:57 you can use your shield to attack enemies, so it's not useless
At that point you may as well use Launch which is way more effective.
@@Maka91Productions Well it my health is low, I can shield up and then blowback the debris to buy time.
Tbh they should have made an x men game

I find shield extremely helpful when I’m low on health an I’m trying to get to some health particles
Your just smarter than them
That’s what it’s for
shield is also actually a really good aggro tool to close the distance with enemy, if using something like shatter, especially when you combine shield with evade

Yeah, I wished he would have showcased the upgrades to each weapon and ability.

I enjoy using the shield ability to rush an enemy then blast them with my shotgun
OH MY GOD SO TRUE
Not liking the combat dependence on guns. Wish powers could be more of a focus
100% agree
Na the guns are just as fine too.
It's not. He's only using guns. The Powers are very strong
Agreed I wish you could upgrade levitate to be able to float for as long as you want
rob13589 dude you do realize they shoot right they shoot at you not hit you physically so floating for as long as you want would be good but you would be able to mix it up I’m not arguing with you by the way but that’s something I would like but I respect your opinion.
The shield is a quick protect. Don’t stay shielded but rather use it to deflect powerful one shot attacks like the blood puke or rockets.
6:19 use it when several enemies are close to each other
fun fact: for the charge weapon, you can hold down the trigger so that you can launch 2-3 missiles at a time (thus my it's called charge)
@MysteryRomantic Games I was playing it today and was using the Charge Pistol and fired a single spinning bullet and then instantly used my telekinetic grab and it held the bullet for to send it another way then I tried it while levitating too! 🤘 Awesome trick!
The charge weapon is good for groups of enemies. You can hold down the fire button and it will charge to the point of firing on its own unleashing a huge explosion. Just be far away when it goes off. It will damage you too.
Pro-tip: you don't have to stay still while trying to seize an enemy.
SERIOUSLY??
I'LL TRY THIS TODAY
A big reason people use charge is because of the terrain it breaks. This allows for less enemy cover and more rocks/random debris to throw at enemies.
the grenade launcher is dope! I use it a ton. There's 2 maybe 3 useful mods for it are "increase blast radius", "projectile speed" and "increase damage"..have those 3 and its the ultimate crowd control...just dont use it too close to yourself..obviously.

@Jacki wow I'm dumb that's my favorite weapon and I don't know that also someone said you can stop the projectile in mid air and make it move in a different direction but didn't say how
Yep that's the ones I have but I traded out the damage for the ultimate weapon one that gives ammo back when you hit an enemy jus now

I agree about the cool-looking skills, but I do like that all the skills given, while simple, are given some good impact.
I miss when games don't have mana/energy system. (Prototype)
Once you upgrade shield so it can damage people it gets super useful
no mention of seaze, the ability to to take control of the enemys its fun to use and if upgraded can be used on any enemy in low health.
The shield actually quite useful when fighting levitating enemy that throws some projectiles and comes approaching you
who's here after knowing its the Feb 2021 PS plus free game on ps4/ps5?
Use shield to pickup health from dead enemies if ur about to die
exactly
Havent played this yet but Im planning to, and this just solidified that decision lmao.
What I see is when Quantum Break meets Saints Row 4
People are looking at this as gunplay but if you know what the gun IS then that makes it better imo. Its alive, not just some pistol from the armory.
Shield is super usefull against bosses,ppl dont use shield againts mobs,and they later have problem with bosses,as example mirror boss,when she get to lower health and start flying just use shield to block rockets,then she will charge teleport in front of u,remove shield and kick her ass in close range.Infested poison boss,just stay at rockand when he launch attack use shield,then boss is to eazy.
Thank you I’m going through my backlog of games. Super helpful new sub!
There’s this ground smash attack she does when u levitate I didn’t see.
Great guns i love that grenade launcher i love it when it fires and comes back again thank you
Great video and thank you for this guide
Is it just me or did anyone else thought that the channel intro was like Naughty America?
lol

The Charge (which is rather a bazooka) can deal massive damage, but you have to use it very carefully because you hurt yourself badly if the rockets explode too close to Jesse. so don't use it like a shotgun ;). it's an awesome weapon when in air to get rid of several grouped enemies at once (mod: explosion ratio). you can even convert it into a faster paced rocket launcher if you find the +500% missile speed perk - when you have it, aiming is far more easy, better said enemies won't dodge the attack as much as without.

The AWE DLC gives you a further weapon type called "Surge" which is really designed like a grenade launcher. fun!
The Foundation DLC gives you a further skill called "Shape" which enables the ability to transform parts of the environment. overall the most useless skill imho cause it only works in levels of the DLC itself and even there isn't as joyful as the ones you already have in your pocket.
