Amazing tutorial, I was getting frustrated with the combat, almost rage quiet and uninstalled the game, because i lost so many characters and it was so annoying..
How to kill somebody: Step 1: Go at Military Outpost with shit gun and ass rifle Step 2:Fail and die. Step 3:Ragequit. Step 4:Get hacks. Step5:Murder everyone with inf health. Step 6:Realise how unfun the game is after you have cheated and uninstall. This ancient method works but is can make you not like the game.
Andrei Cotos he used a terrible character for fights and that's something you should never ever do for frontal assaults. the only time I use them in fights is when I want to go stealthy with my knife.
The dueling system with melee combat works with different characters. Yes its a random number generator, but Katia is a poor fighter, that's why you were severely wounded. If it was someone like Roman, you can take out most people with a crowbar and be sightly wounded max.
Thank you for this, it gave me an idea on how to better manage the Combat in the game, cause its kinda frustrating to do combat without knowledge of how it works. ty man....
Nice. Just one thing: different characters do different amounts of damage with mele weapons - Aricia, Roman and Boris are the best, but Aricia is also very quiet and makes the best knife assasin.
The first time I was put in a combat situation, I didn't even stand a chance. Someone showed up out of nowhere, an icon I didn't recognize appeared, and before I could even think about what it could be for I was shot and killed.
It's lucky there are video tutorials on this. This game's combat mode is like a punch to the face, you can't train for it beforehand in anyway, and when you enter combat out of necessity you instantly die, not knowing what the fuck to do
I got the game as soon as it was out - and some time later I watched this video, because I was always afraid of combat. I remember that it helped me! Now, today, eight years later I got back to the game and forgot everything - even that I watched this video. I just saw, as I searched for "stealth kill this war of mine", that I hae already seen it? And then it hit me. Thanks again, great video still!
Curious how people are supposed to know any of this since the game doesn't address anything about combat. I remember getting the vest, helmet, assault rifle and thinking okay now I'm going to kick some thug butt. Took on two guys one with a pistol the other with a shotgun, got the first shots in and died. Did kill one, but other wasn't touched when I tried to change targets. Then I read about ambushing and started laying waste to heavily armed soldiers with an ax. But I kind of get it now. If combat was too easy what challenge would there be? I still think its incredibly buggy with my character doing nothing far too often when being shot.
ONE TIP FOR YOU GUYS! Get close to a hiding area and make sure enemies are also close. Now sprint a bit so you attract their attention, and run into the hiding before they see you. They will start to investigate and should come to the kill.
Thank you for this. I didn't think the combat was that intuitive. I didn't know what the orange crosshairs meant (does that mean I have a good shot, that the weapon is loaded, what?) or what the white fill for the melee weapons...
Tried to get into a knife fight with a thug with Cveta, never again... Random number generator is not on her side... -Back stab -miss -miss -miss -miss -Cveta died
I'm here after my many attempts to survive without killing. It's damn hard! I did it... but would you look at what I'm watching? Very useful tutorial! Thanks!
Good tutorial. But it makes me realize the game is too random against the player. Especially in combat. I felt it too, my character would just stand there and take bullets when I'd be trying my best to get them go do anything at all
When you did the non-wall backstab (second kill) the orange circle was full (as with the hidden wall backstab) indicating "full damage," but he didn't die in one hit. Why?
every single time I get into the RNG 1v1 combat side against someone, no matter how strong my character is or what I'm using, I always seem to end up getting hit over and over until I die. wearing a helmet and body armour, wielding a shotgun and a hatchet I went to attack a civilian who had a knife, he stabbed me repeatedly until I died, I was playing as Roman and got one hit on him.
Excellent video - esp like: fact that you point out the importance of being WELL FED. I have seen way to many TWOM vids where people boast about how little they are feeding their people (feed them every third day etc) That is just pure stupidity IMO. If your goal is to WIN the game & have your people able to fight and scavenge obv its best if they are not on the verge of exhaustion. Common sense one would think.... Also that you point out the importance of scavenging from the BODIES. This is extremely important. In this vid for example the vest would be (and probably is) missed by those who just kill so as to scavenge the building - In most cases the only way to get ammo, AKs and vests(undamaged) is from bodies.
Hey, thank you for this! I had no idea that you could equip 2 weapons at once. I wonder how many I will have to lose to practice this lol. I love this game. I have too little time put into it. Hey, quick question. I figured out a formula for choosing shelter when starting but forgot what it was. Of course restart and restart until you get the one you want, but for some reason it stopped allowing me to choose anything but the house. Any ideas?
Trying to do combat with a controller (on ps4) is totally broken, my guy won't attack, he'll act like he's going to then start messing with the nearest door.
When you end up dying though how are you restarting the game? Do you just ctrl + alt delete or what? or your saying you can die, as long as its not night time, you then just leave and re-load?
Can you switch targets? I was trying to stealth kill the soldier with the axe in supermarket and I accidentally swung at the girl. Both started attacking me.
i have been playing so much this game, i enjoyed watching u really, u made me laugh at min 5:23, it is a shame she was dead at that fight, goddd, i know now how to kill with the character moral being affected.
Okay, several questions regarding this bullshit combat system: 1.) What happens if I knife execute someone from behind cover, hide back in cover, then wait for someone else to come, knife execute them, and rinse and repeat? Does that work or is the AI too smart for that? As long as they don't see me enter the shadows, I'm fine, correct? Pay no heed to the dead bodies in front of me! 2.) @ 7:11 Why was your character not responding? Bug? 3.) How much protection is too much protection? So I have a kevlar vest, then a helmet, then a weapon, and bullets. That's four inventory slots! That's insane. What's your advice for best optimizing inventory for a shooting mission? 4.) What role exactly does hunger play into your combat stats/rolls? You mentioned being well fed is good for walking up behind people. Obviously, my movement speed is impacted, but otherwise, can I duplicate the results in this video by being "hungry?" I've noticed sometimes I creep behind someone and they somehow see me. I'm wondering if maybe my belly is rumbling, or some shit. On a side note, I think this combat system is the only flaw in this game and it's cost me a number of save files and hours of frustration. First, there is no back-stepping. If I try to walk backwards to put space between my opponent, my character instead turns their back to their target, and I suffer a damage penalty. Second, and this is my biggest gripe: Why cant I use guns in melee range!? If a person stuck a gun to my head, are the developers telling me the gunman has no chance of firing at me!? Maybe if I was a black belt, like this guy: How-to Disarm a Gunman Cool, so next time I get held up at gunpoint in a dark alley, I'll be sure to defend myself! The gunman has no chance!
ReMeDy 1. Yup, you can totally hide in the same spot as long as they don't see you.2. Yup, I'm assuming it's a bug. I've posted on their forum about it.3. Depends on what you plan to do. I think a knife should do it in most circumstances. Obviously, the helmet and kevlar are there to help when things go wrong. Also, depends on how many enemies are on the level. Don't forget that you'll often pick things up from the folks you kill. If you plan to just go in and kill everyone the first time. I'd suggest a knife, a shotgun or assault gun, bullets, and one item of armor. Once you've cleared the level you won't have to bring anything from then on.4. No idea. I assume the RNG takes into account your character's status for getting the hit in or not. As for being heard, it might be the floor. I've seen certain areas give off a lot of noise when my characters walk over them...I'm assuming squeaky floorboards.
Some more tips. - Some people like Marko and Boris have insane slots so if you are going for full out assault they are the best to arm and still have scavenge ability while others its best to bring a single weapon and play smart. I don't like using guns much as its mandatory 2 slot:weapon and ammo sucks--> a Knife and some smart movement is best but play smart..I also don't use items like helmet and vest because they are great for raid defenses(they use it as well as weapons and equipment for protection but if your on a kill mission than extra protection is good. I've had a wave of crime event with 2 vest and a helmet in stock and despite several 'aggressive' attackers so one has been injured even when i had everyone sleeping (YAY) - The RNG does take effects like tired,hungry into affect as if you attack their ability to react or how quickly they attack is factored into who hits,how much damage, how fast/well they aim etc. Those factors do seem to apply even when backstabbing(it will affect damage). I seem to have better reactions when i double click the icons if its urgent(could be my luck) Also some characters do make more noise than usual...you can darn near sprint through houses with Arica and no one notices a thing but if your Boris he makes a bit of noise even when sneaking.
I think that Helmet and Kevlar shouldn't waste slots, because you are wearing them, not holding them in your backpack, or something like that, and also the game needs a clip system where you can put your bullets in the gun and don't have to waste inventory slots.
francompalmieri I agree with all that. I find it ironic a person can carry a shit ton of wood/materials, but has to use up half their inventory just to carry a loaded gun, while wearing a kevlar vest and helmet.
ReMeDy I guess it would only make sense if a person is limited to how much weight they can carry. A kevlar vest isn't as light as one would think plus all the components, wood, medical, pocket limits. They really should let you craft items that increase a characters backpack size though. I say a petition for backpack crafting.
You said that when the circle is full and orange it's basically an instakill yet the incident at 6:35 is the same but you seemed to barely do any damage? What's the crack?
Many thanks for this awesome tutorial, I'm still wondering where I can get shotgun shells from especially since I got a shotgun and I can't seem to make anything else than regular bullets. For sure I'll try this out with the pistol and knife combo, it seems to work very nice. ^-^
NprogresiveR Save Scumming: I copy and paste the save folder to a different location and then when I die I just copy that saved folder over the current one.
I've been playing this on the PS4. It's a nightmare. I can not kill anyone. I get those stupid icons for cover, and when I pop out to kill someone, the don't attack. Instead they run for the cover of a door, or a wall, and just sit there. I pressed the X when the bad guy walks past me, and his icon has the sneak-attack-instant-kill thing, in full orange, and I STILL just run out and hide right in front of him. Then die. I lost 4 people, and I am really hesitant about starting another game, and trying to get through it without killing anyone.
There is a very easy way to cheat character death on the mobile version but you have to repeat the day before you head out Still one less character dead and you get 1 more time with that same character too I had a massive pile of bandages so I traded them and donated to the hospital
i have questions for the combat mode... - does the enemy see us when we're taking cover?? - can we use "cover" for stealth killing if the enemy can't see us?? - How do you counter attack the enemy like that??
+Muhammad Syaiful Akmal Cover stealth kill is the best doe to its 1 hit ko to counter attack the white circle shall be at its highest point for more damage
Yes several covers could reveal our freakin position. Coz i got shot by a goddamn shotgum when i was takin cover behind a damn door. I was sure that this guy never saw me running towards the door. He was suspecious about the noise i made earlier. But far before he came, i was hiding. The door was like having some kinda light. I recommend no hiding near lighted doorways. You'll get killed in no time.
I just finished my first game and everybody survived, although I tried combat once and reloaded because my character died... Soooo, I never realised you had to press the combat button... Well, now I'm wiser
I have same problem i think it's because I play the ps4 version and it's not the greatest point and click game for mechanics on the ps4. Maybe this is why
I made a copy of the actual save file outside of the game and would copy and paste it back into the game folder each time. That was just to guarantee that I could...alternatively if you ALT+F4 out of the game before it has a chance to update the save file, it'll start you back at day's beginning.
I was trying to sneak up on an armed thug that was beating up an innocent lady. And I switch to my knife in my genius character decided, “oh no you wanna attack the innocent lady, right not the armed guard that’s in front of you, right?” So when I pressed attack it went to the innocent lady and not the arm guard and then I got shot and then I rage quit. It was by far the most stupid thing I’ve ever experienced in this game.
How exactly did you start the same level everytime? i thought there are no safegames and then a char is dead he stays dead... is there a way to avoid it?
combat is so random. My charecter once did a 1v3 on some people while tired and wounded and had nothing but his fist and they had knives. then i walk up on someone with a knife backstab them and they turn around and turn into a black belt and destroy me
Found this tip that might help others who are struggling: Your game state is automatically saved when you reach the end of a night. That is the state you return to when you resume a game. It is overwritten when you complete the next night. Let's say you leave the game sometime during day 12, then you will restart day 12 when you resume. That can be an advantage if you make a mistake or don't like a certain result. If you accidentally chop your vegetable garden, or if the "wrong" person shows up to join you, or if you're about to get killed at the brothel you can leave the game and try that day again. Yeah, that's cheating, but ...
Save Scumming: I have the GOG version. I found the folder the game saves to: C:/Users/*actual username*/AppData/Roaming/11bitstudios/This War of Mine/ Yours might be different if you have the Steam version for example. The save folder is iPhoneDefUser...I simply copy the folder and place it into another folder which I then name according to the save. Whenever I want to load I just recopy the iPhoneDefUser folder from one of my Save Folders. As you know, the game only saves the beginning of the day, so to get to the combat I would always hit end day and get into it. Takes some time. Helps for making videos, but using save scumming definitely takes away from the intensity of the game. I used it to practice combat though and now I'm avoiding it.
Can i tell my story? . So i was playing a match. So in day 17 i think. I went with arica to the military safe or idk. Basically arica died. So i was so mad she died. I took my shotgun. And 5 bullets. And i shot the first person . Then i went to the second floor and quietly went behind the other guy. And used an axe to finish em off. Was worth it
step 1: get roman
step 2: make a knife
step 3: make him look like an assassin
lol
ye
Epsolio or you can use Arica cause she is the master of sneaking
The robber of the century ladies and gentleman
Epsolio Indeed. she never makes a sound when she runs so she is perfect for ambushing someone
Been playing for years, had no idea stealth kills were so easy, I’ve been avoiding combat like the plague, and missing so much loot!
first time playing in a while and wiped out a brothel and saved some enslaved prostitutes lol
it looks like stealth kills are the most effective in the way of dealing with enemys.
+Skriva Kanga yes but full frontal asssult may be needed when you fail at stealth
Wow, amazing, tell me more.
No shit
Just like in real life. Well, in real life there’s one other superior method: flooding their nation with non-white immigrants
Amazing tutorial, I was getting frustrated with the combat, almost rage quiet and uninstalled the game, because i lost so many characters and it was so annoying..
thanks, glad I could help :)
=)
How to kill somebody:
Step 1: Go at Military Outpost with shit gun and ass rifle
Step 2:Fail and die.
Step 3:Ragequit.
Step 4:Get hacks.
Step5:Murder everyone with inf health.
Step 6:Realise how unfun the game is after you have cheated and uninstall.
This ancient method works but is can make you not like the game.
u
haha
Thanks for tutorial.
I just lost a character and cried.
Andrei Cotos same, I wish you could save and load games on ps4
well im on ps4
Andrei Cotos What I do is if I fail, I quickly close the application and play the game again and they're alive again.
Andrei Cotos he used a terrible character for fights and that's something you should never ever do for frontal assaults. the only time I use them in fights is when I want to go stealthy with my knife.
@@thejournalist8091 that's what I'm talking about tips and tricks
The dueling system with melee combat works with different characters.
Yes its a random number generator, but Katia is a poor fighter, that's why you were severely wounded.
If it was someone like Roman, you can take out most people with a crowbar and be sightly wounded max.
DipsyDavid Also Roman can insta-kill anyone with a standing backstab with any weapon. Arica can do it with a knife.
Catmunism Also i just recently found out roman can kill anyone with his fist in hiding.
@@3lettersl0l my first playthough was with Roman. I thought this was too easy
well I'm glad I'm not the only one that cant fight without it turning into a disaster or dying.
Thank you for this, it gave me an idea on how to better manage the Combat in the game, cause its kinda frustrating to do combat without knowledge of how it works. ty man....
i hate sooooooooo much when they just dont fire and let the enemy kill them shot by shot -.- its so bugged!!
+Ema “S3N7IN3L” J. maybe but sometimes the recticle the white circle may be blank means its out of range or use the hiding spot
Nice. Just one thing: different characters do different amounts of damage with mele weapons - Aricia, Roman and Boris are the best, but Aricia is also very quiet and makes the best knife assasin.

How did u do to start this sequence again with the same character ? Is there a savegame option or something ?
Sam Gratt alt + f4 = dead not saved
He has a backup save as well. The one time it went to the Loading screen which is too late to avoid it saving the progress.
Just bought the game about 24 hours ago. yet to play been watching vids and learning. i played frostpunk so i got a good idea whta i getting into lol
Hey, thank you for this! I had no idea that you could equip 2 weapons at once. I wonder how many I will have to lose to practice this lol. I love this game. I have too little time put into it.

Of course restart and restart until you get the one you want, but for some reason it stopped allowing me to choose anything but the house. Any ideas?
I'm new to this game and IDK how to equip a gun I press equip in my inventory and iv tried 4 different ppl but it won't work
The Scoped AR is a beast :p
big thanks for help!!! :D
I fucking love this game. I remember i skipped work just to play this the whole day after buying it 😂 amazing game!!

hey dude thanks a lot for this tutorial , gonna practice it now , got the game yesterday and was having some serious issues combat about.
You're welcome! The combat is definitely the hardest, but most rewarding part.
saw on your videos when you got killed , theres no checkpoint . how can you it once again? . i got killed practicing and lost the character (>_
how can you do it*

I've been playing this on the PS4. It's a nightmare. I can not kill anyone. I get those stupid icons for cover, and when I pop out to kill someone, the don't attack. Instead they run for the cover of a door, or a wall, and just sit there. I pressed the X when the bad guy walks past me, and his icon has the sneak-attack-instant-kill thing, in full orange, and I STILL just run out and hide right in front of him. Then die. I lost 4 people, and I am really hesitant about starting another game, and trying to get through it without killing anyone.
There is a very easy way to cheat character death on the mobile version but you have to repeat the day before you head out
Still one less character dead and you get 1 more time with that same character too
I had a massive pile of bandages so I traded them and donated to the hospital
Watching this literally after I lost Marko in a gun combat
Thanks for this tutorial! I have always avoided combat until now, but I really want to kill the thugs tbh!
i have questions for the combat mode...
- does the enemy see us when we're taking cover??
- can we use "cover" for stealth killing if the enemy can't see us??
- How do you counter attack the enemy like that??
+Muhammad Syaiful Akmal
Cover stealth kill is the best doe to its 1 hit ko
to counter attack the white circle shall be at its highest point for more damage
Yes several covers could reveal our freakin position. Coz i got shot by a goddamn shotgum when i was takin cover behind a damn door. I was sure that this guy never saw me running towards the door. He was suspecious about the noise i made earlier. But far before he came, i was hiding. The door was like having some kinda light. I recommend no hiding near lighted doorways. You'll get killed in no time.
I just finished my first game and everybody survived, although I tried combat once and reloaded because my character died... Soooo, I never realised you had to press the combat button... Well, now I'm wiser
Hey why is it that sometimes I aim at someone with the assault rifle and instead of shooting the character comes closer to the enemies?
I have same problem i think it's because I play the ps4 version and it's not the greatest point and click game for mechanics on the ps4. Maybe this is why
My shotgun is equipped but I can’t see it on the left.
How you die and go back to the save ?
thanks for advice
Yo tengo tutoriales en español, para todos aquellos que no entiendan a este señor
How are you reloading the scavenging mission??? And is there a keyboard button to switch between weapons?
+Vux911 probably alt -f4 and reloaded the game
theking9957 and on the ps4?
1 times with a knife, how can I kill?
You should also have stated that weapons such as the hatchet do more damage but are slower
thanks
I just lost a character because of not knowing how to fight and almost uninstalled the game
nice video
off topic but are the scenario editor & custom characters available for Android?
Joe Gold I think not
Thanks man, kept running at them on scavenge and wondering if my entire crew was autistic
Yep just slaughtered the two pensioners 👌
How are u able to restart the level over and over again. Last time I played my of my characters got shot. It auto saves every time I think.
I made a copy of the actual save file outside of the game and would copy and paste it back into the game folder each time. That was just to guarantee that I could...alternatively if you ALT+F4 out of the game before it has a chance to update the save file, it'll start you back at day's beginning.
Aramazon thank u :)
I was trying to sneak up on an armed thug that was beating up an innocent lady. And I switch to my knife in my genius character decided, “oh no you wanna attack the innocent lady, right not the armed guard that’s in front of you, right?” So when I pressed attack it went to the innocent lady and not the arm guard and then I got shot and then I rage quit. It was by far the most stupid thing I’ve ever experienced in this game.
WHICH BUTTON DO I PRESS TO ATTACK LEFT MOUSE BUTTON OR RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON
Double on left or 1 on right
So is there really a difference between well fed, normal, and hungry?
Health bar is lower
Naughty Cyrille ahhh thank you
if you're character dies just ALT+F4 immediately and restart the day
how do you load the game from the same position you were?
U alt +f4 from the game...
+Frenky Žule stfu that joke is so old and stupid
+Cooper Kid Actually he's not joking. You do that to exit the game before it auto-saves and you lose your character.
I'm pretty sure the guy means THE VERY SAME SPOT not restart the lvl I know that
Cooper Kid he was using the powers of video editing
How exactly did you start the same level everytime? i thought there are no safegames and then a char is dead he stays dead... is there a way to avoid it?
ALT + F4
Genrow 1st Asswipe... ALT+F4 for those who dont know shuts down your game dont press it. (Unless you want to)
lets check if it really works xD
Yeah i lost my playthough just because i am was getting bored and wanted to try out the combat.
combat is so random. My charecter once did a 1v3 on some people while tired and wounded and had nothing but his fist and they had knives. then i walk up on someone with a knife backstab them and they turn around and turn into a black belt and destroy me
How do you load a game after a death? It seems to auto-save and I can't retry.
+J Hepner (Milkman) ikr
+J Hepner (Milkman) some other guy said alt+F4 but idk
1:40 she stabs his feets 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Debating on getting this game but after watching the combat I'm still not convinced.
Do you get sad or guilty from this?
thank you for this tutorial I'm so fking pissed I lost my man. ughhh -____-
I dropped my phone watching this video and I thought the green line was my broken screen😅
At 6:04 the icon was orange showing full damage.... why the NPC survive?
How are you dying and re-loading the level? isn't it once your dead, you dead? is there a way to save in this game and re-load?
Found this tip that might help others who are struggling: Your game state is automatically saved when you reach the end of a night. That is the state you return to when you resume a game. It is overwritten when you complete the next night. Let's say you leave the game sometime during day 12, then you will restart day 12 when you resume.
That can be an advantage if you make a mistake or don't like a certain result. If you accidentally chop your vegetable garden, or if the "wrong" person shows up to join you, or if you're about to get killed at the brothel you can leave the game and try that day again. Yeah, that's cheating, but ...
@@coryssanchez i died like 10 times so far i will try it out.
How are you constantly able to restart it? Every time someone dies I'd have to restart the game to get them back.
Save Scumming: I have the GOG version. I found the folder the game saves to: C:/Users/*actual username*/AppData/Roaming/11bitstudios/This War of Mine/
Yours might be different if you have the Steam version for example.
The save folder is iPhoneDefUser...I simply copy the folder and place it into another folder which I then name according to the save. Whenever I want to load I just recopy the iPhoneDefUser folder from one of my Save Folders. As you know, the game only saves the beginning of the day, so to get to the combat I would always hit end day and get into it. Takes some time. Helps for making videos, but using save scumming definitely takes away from the intensity of the game. I used it to practice combat though and now I'm avoiding it.
AramazonVar Thanks for the help :)
It's actually quite easy.
Once you get the hang of it.
can you show us how to defeat the two guys in construction site?
Miscellaneous Knife + Shotgun? Stealth instakill one, shotgun at close distance another. Vest and helmet would be very nice to wear.
oh dear.
Can i tell my story?
. So i was playing a match. So in day 17 i think. I went with arica to the military safe or idk. Basically arica died. So i was so mad she died. I took my shotgun. And 5 bullets. And i shot the first person . Then i went to the second floor and quietly went behind the other guy. And used an axe to finish em off. Was worth it
I did an insta kill but it only did 3/4 of the dude hp and he killed me after I rage quit XD
1:42 was stabbed in the feet to death lol
Thanks for this, but my people usually die from starvation not combat :(
