This perk is almost completely useless.. most of times he shows up when you where about to do the kill shot ! Or after you have done the most damage and is having fun hitting the enemy on vats.
I love how you reference tomatoanus as a source I’m always in his streams and he’s said on multiple occasions he’d love to watch your videos but he doesn’t because he’s scared he’ll accidentally remember a joke you say and say it himself, he’s a great guy for not wanting to take credit for something not his

Did i miss something? The Mysterious stranger has a 10% chance of spawnning yes but my understading of the perk is that the stranger spawns more frequently if you miss your last vats shot
There is also a health threshold that the enemy has to reach before it even calculates the chance. Better off just modding the variables in the Creation Kit so the perk becomes more reasonable to get.
@@dogishappy0 I double checked the Creation Kit and it shows a 40% health requirement, but there is another setting that also checks to see if the health of the target is 150 or less.
My device: Mitten Prime posted a video: Can you beat Fallout 4 with the Mysterious Stranger perk Me: Oh goodie, i wonder if he really beaten it or not Most of the video: Just paul shooting a raider in the chest over and over while talking
Question though, what about using the water gun from Nuka World? It does zero damage, so in theory you can VATS any enemy as much as you want without them ever taking damage.
Idea: Avoid killing anything until you get the gun that does the lowest damage in hame, I don’t know exactly what it is but it’s probably an easy search. Now every time you attack an enemy, it does jack shit to it and barely counts as attacking it with the gun, and you can just keep shooting in VATS until the Mysterious Stranger comes
6:04 I covered my face with a blanket and muffled my laughter and tears for the remaining of the next minute. Then came here, started typing, realized that I didn't knew the time stamp. Rewinded the video and was able to write this comment.
There's more to the Mysterious Stranger spawning than the % chance. There is also an enemy health threshold (I'd have to double check the Creation Kit for specifics), and it has something to do with your last shot.
I love you mittens!!!!! your commentary on these runs is just the absolute best. Please keep the videos rolling I will keep watching. Just a thought dying light would be fun for your videos. I can hear you now.....
I don't see him doing any of the challenges because Dante Ravioli has already done the interesting challenges for the game, but it'd be pretty funny to watch Mitten still do them
If tomatoanus killed 8 enemies, if you did that with only the mysterious stranger perk, the eighth enemy the maximum number of times you would have to reload the game would be... 1 hundred million times. 1 hundred million times you would have to reload if the mysterious stranger never showed up before that
You can abort VATS before your character attacks, and because you left VATS without killing your target(s), the mysterious stranger will still be there, means you don't have to quick save and load every time.
Nah, that's too easy. Keep the probability as it is, but mod in some 0-damage bullets so that you can ensure the enemies will never die to your own damage, and you won't have to savescum. Still keeps our favorite aspect of a challenge run - the suffering.
How you have calculated the chances is actually wrong. What you said would only be true if you had no chance of saving after killing an enemy. Kill one guy save and you are back to 10 percent for each enemy
It's the "if you flip a coin three times, what are the chances it lands on heads each time?" the challenge. Gotta love that Achievement Hunter "Gavin must be wrong" logic.
This was actually more informative than people may lead on. Mitten won't just do any stupid challenge thrown at him. He does ones that are entertaining and possible. good job maintaining quality content instead of stuff like "Only use this RNG on top of RNG on top of RNG to beat Fallout (number)"
You can increase the chance of him appearing via the console. Sure, it completely goes against the entire idea of "Can you beat ... with only...", but it's food for thought
I like to think there’s a Vault, Vault .1, where every newborn baby is hurried away to a game console to begin grinding out a possible, but highly improbable, challenge such as this.
ooh also even though you'd have to get the stranger every time with only a 10% chance, it's always a 10% chance because random probability isn't influenced by previous results
Before watching it, I'd say no, because in order to trigger the Mysterious Stranger perk, you'll have to attack your enemy and cause damage to them with something that isn't a Mysterious Stranger perk.
You could do a run setting player damage output to zero! This would make it so you only do damage when the mysterious stranger appears, and would make it so you don't have to load a quick save.
I'm not a math guy so take it with a grain of salt. Assumptions: We can reload save if it fails. Mysterious Stranger always OHKOs. Total number needed to kill = 9. First: finding how many times you have to try to have a good likelihood for doing it within that amount of times. You have roughly a 88% chance for the Mysterious Stranger to appear within 20 rounds. This gives you a estimated 31% likelihood that you would need 180 attempts. Kinda risky. Another number that can be used is 30. You have a whopping 96% chance to get Mysterious Stranger within 30 rounds. This gives you a 67% chance of only requiring 270 attempts. Finally just because its fun. What if Mysterious Stranger only did half dmg? 92% chance to kill within 50 rounds Rounded up to 50% chance to finish the game in 450 attempts. Assuming the math is correct.

Yea but it was interesting!.... To me at least
And the xp kept on going up and up and up.
I got confused and went:
Wait did mitten squad change his name?
Little did i know
This is his second channel
Mitten Prime: This is where the real Mitten begins.
Question though, what about using the water gun from Nuka World? It does zero damage, so in theory you can VATS any enemy as much as you want without them ever taking damage.
Adam Schade Well, for a start you have to get to Nuka World
@@BritishEmpireForHisMajesty Fair enough, but Mitten already did that in his Commie Whacker only run.
Well for the stranger to appear you need your enemy to be damaged until a certain amount of health
Can you beat devil may cry without saying jackpot?
“Less usefull to me than a sandpaper enema”. Thanks Mitten, I’m going to use that one at work tomorrow.
We lost such a great mathematical mind. What a legendary man.
Idea: Avoid killing anything until you get the gun that does the lowest damage in hame, I don’t know exactly what it is but it’s probably an easy search. Now every time you attack an enemy, it does jack shit to it and barely counts as attacking it with the gun, and you can just keep shooting in VATS until the Mysterious Stranger comes
Even if you spray someone with the standard Thirst zapper, they will aggro after the 3rd or 4th hit, just like most weapons.
Can you beat skyrim with each weapon at once?
That's a damn good idea. Each spell, scroll sword, all gives you one kill per.
@@zackshannon834 Is not it?
I feel like if people say "weapons" they might forget about one time use scrolls or possible the magic system.
At once?

Paul, once I realized what you were up to, you had me grinning like a loon the entire video. Great job.
ChessMeister what was he doing?
Couldn't you do this challenge by giving yourself a weapon that does zero damage so your reliant on the mysterious stranger to win your battles
Thirst zapper. The most op weapon for this challenge
No. Enemies have to be below a certain health threshold for the dice roll.
@@BradTheAmerican Mod it so that health threshold is anything equal to or below 100%
StormyStrife that negates the challenge tho. If you have to mod it to make it work, then it isn’t a challenge.
Wasn't that what he was doing by shooting the raider throughout the video? I didn't see his health drop
Playthrough Length: Yolo
Hai :3
R.I.P. Mitten, goin through and watching all your videos again. You will always be missed buddy.
I wish for grandma sparkles to send me to the shadow realm
i like how the raider throughout the entire video went from "you like the sight of your own blood?" to "you done yet?"
You could make your weapons do zero damage and wait till he shows up.
How could you Paul? Why would you leave us like this?
I fell like the title should be "could you beat fallout 4 with only the mysterious stranger perk"
Wasn't it New Vegas where the mysterious stranger sometimes failed to kill their target and soft lock the game?
Tuulos it happens, trust me, I know!
This is an excellent introduction to how probability works in video games
I love you mittens!!!!! your commentary on these runs is just the absolute best. Please keep the videos rolling I will keep watching. Just a thought dying light would be fun for your videos. I can hear you now.....
I don't see him doing any of the challenges because Dante Ravioli has already done the interesting challenges for the game, but it'd be pretty funny to watch Mitten still do them
Hell yeah!
Mitten playing Dying Light.
If tomatoanus killed 8 enemies, if you did that with only the mysterious stranger perk, the eighth enemy the maximum number of times you would have to reload the game would be... 1 hundred million times. 1 hundred million times you would have to reload if the mysterious stranger never showed up before that

Not what I was expecting, but interesting video nonetheless
Imagine an addict perk. A mysterious addict gets off their junkie ass to give you a boost 😂
that's just having hancock as a companion
"annoying withou being fun"... that reminds me a LOT of things in my life... :)
I just love you playing fallout, still an enjoyable video though
You could make it so your gun always misses in vats that way if the mysterious stranger doesn’t show you don’t have to reload a save
I see you finally played Elmo's Number Adventure
You can abort VATS before your character attacks, and because you left VATS without killing your target(s), the mysterious stranger will still be there, means you don't have to quick save and load every time.
You may also choose thirst zapper to use, then you wont have to abort VATS every time because thirst zapper does not deal any damage.
One in ten million? A life of suffering? This sounds like a job for civvie 11.
Play the damn game civvie.
@@SamuraiHonor preach it brotha!!!
I thought this video was lack luster and was a cheap alternative to the normal videos. 10/10 would watch again. Keep the work up mitten squad
Rip man.
I'm late but if anyone does this challenge, I feel like it would be worth doing with some kind of mod to guarantee the Stranger shows up.
Nah, that's too easy. Keep the probability as it is, but mod in some 0-damage bullets so that you can ensure the enemies will never die to your own damage, and you won't have to savescum. Still keeps our favorite aspect of a challenge run - the suffering.
So basically Bethany Esda essentially made a useless perk with the Mysterious Stranger
Esda
made
a
Useless
perk
The Mysterious Stranger won't go quietly we can count on that.
Would you be able to get the “Thirst zapper” from nuka-world and use that in vats. I don’t think it does any damage
WABBAJACK PLAYTHROUGH PLEASE MITTEN
How you have calculated the chances is actually wrong. What you said would only be true if you had no chance of saving after killing an enemy. Kill one guy save and you are back to 10 percent for each enemy
3:47. That's exactly what he was calculating. Watch the video before you comment something so stupid.
1:57 You fool, you fell for the classic blunder and have forgotten that we can have autoplay on!
tl;dr "Well yes, but actually no"
This video is higher degree evolution at it's finest.

Can you beat fallout 3 without crippling any limbs or you need to restart from outside the vault
A Pikaspray reference? In my MittenSquad video? Its more likely than you think.
Can someone explain to me how his xp just keeps increasing so rapidly when shooting the raider.
If you find out let me know
Probably just used a mod so he could unlock the perks to test it out easily
You should try to beat a fallout game or Skyrim by only damaging enemies with the interactable objects you can pick up like boxes buckets etc
First
"The Mysterious Stranger never has a 100% chance of appearing."
*Laughs in Portable Cheat Terminal*
I love how you have higher chance of beating fallout 4 with mysterious stranger perk is higher than dream getting his luck

You can increase the chance of him appearing via the console. Sure, it completely goes against the entire idea of "Can you beat ... with only...", but it's food for thought
the xp bar at 5:25 is the amount of brain cells im gaining by learning all this math

The Clutch quote makes this possible.
The dialogue in these videos are on another level
Use the Thirst Zapper for 0 damage in VATS maybe, Squaul of Pitten Mod.
you sir are a linguistic magician
Do a run of new vegas where you randomize your controls

Hearing him talk about stuff like this is really cool.
I guess you could call this challenge MYSTERIOUS AM I RIGHT...........no I'll stop.
Its challenges like these where I think it satiates the masochist in all of us simply by hearing this man talk about the math involved
I'm just glad Mitten watches Pikasprey. Something in my brain seems like it's reached its place.
This was actually, a really fucking good video. I’m shocked at how much I enjoyed it.
So when mitten hits 10 million subs we try this
