Fun fact: you can put around 10 defenders in storm shields so that could be really chaotic if you give them something like a room sweeper or a T.I.O.D.
I have 1,127 days and didn't use defenders in my early game play much. But after grouping with an Epic moderator for a while I started to see their value and have used them since. I partly agree with your opinion on shotgun and melee defenders, however, your use of them in the video was an example of how not to place them. Leaving your defender completely exposed is asking for them to be knocked down, especially in the path of husks and mist monsters. I nearly always provide them walls with windows, plus ceiling cover for beehives. For shotgun defenders I add Wall Lights and/or other traps that aid in their defense. You can also get creative with a pistol defender and a Space Invader if you place them at the end of a tunnel that allow the shots to ricochet many times to maximize the damage. I do concur that sniper defenders are probably the best type of defender with the exception that assault rifle defenders have a much wider variety of weapons to use. For this reason I wouldn't dismiss assault rifle, pistol and melee defenders. Instead I would focus on weapons and consider what weapons can be used in different situations. Then pick the defender that is best suited for that role. Defenders can be a lot of fun and are very helpful in completing daily weapon type kill missions. I would encourage everyone to give them a try and find fun ways to incorporate them, but do so with care and not leave them exposed.
As someone who plays mostly solo and uses sniper defenders often, PLEASE, put them away from your base about 5-6 tiles away, with a staircase going up 2 tiles, then put a small row wall around their platform, and a trap on the floor at the bottom of the staircase, works like a charm and they dont need to be boxed in completely losing range
I think the defender damage is capped. I recently did a mission and put down a rifle defender at like around lvl 50. And gave her a 130 grave digger someone gave me. She was...barely useful. Might be worth testing though. Like maybe it doesn't matter what weapon you give them. So you could have a certain schematic that has super high durability maybe.
I know, everyone prefers the Obliterator... that being said, I have a Neon Sniper with the 6th perk of standing still increased damage. I always put my defenders under a roof building piece that keeps them motionless, constantly giving the defender a permanent damage increase. The Neon Sniper allows the defender to maintain a huge range, something the Obliterator doesn’t do while under a roof piece (as you mentioned). I guess the best argument is the cost of energy ammo, but I’ve never had a problem with that. I actually enjoy farming. Anyways, I’ll always prefer the Neon Sniper for defenders for that reason only. Also, They are great at picking out that random Husk that spawned in the ground during some glitched encampments missions.
One notable exception to the defender placement count are SSDs, where you can place 7 defenders as the leader with no other players in your party after you unlocked them during the campaign missions. Non-leader players can only place defenders in the place of missing players, so that's up to 2 defenders. They can absolutely shred anything. One other thing to point out is that minibosses with Ricochet will cause defenders to kill themselves. Don't forget to res them after they do.
@@xMistaBeastxGames That's why I recommend new players to start collecting sniper defenders as soon as possible. They can help you complete SSDs with ease. Assault rifle defenders are also fine if you have the Bundlebuss, because it seems like they are having trouble firing continuously. That's where the Bundlebuss' low fire rate becomes useful. Also they don't seem to be affected by the bloom and the recoil of the weapon. They are also useful for events, like Frostnite.
I've used bows on sniper defenders. Also pistol defenders give the greatest variety of weapons as a pistol version is available for each basic weapon type. Example, I use pistol defenders with freedoms harold for explosive coverage. (Dragon pistol for shotguns, Jack's revenge is a good sniper etc.) Being able to run submachine guns as well is also a great plus.
Brilliant! I used sniper defenders, aerial traps, and three high tire trap tunnels to defend my cannon ball trench around each thing in home base defense and the rocket, now I'm in CANNY VALLEY!!! WooHoo!!! Awesome videos and streams!
I've been playing Save the World since the beginning, before Battle Royal was even a thing and its always great to learn stuff that I've been missing or forgot about. Thanks for the great videos.
13:40 sniper defenders can't "see as far as the eye can see".... Their max range is 5 tiles, reduced to 4 tiles if they're shooting through walls with an obliterator.
12:27 didn't they also have it so lobbers would take massive damage from melee but almost no damage from anything else? Was a pain in the ass because it meant you had to leave base *and* have a melee weapon equipped so you could melee it. I think they changed it so they can just be damaged by anything though.
I've been playing for almost 2 years now, finally taking a chance on STW as a more active game than I used to, and I gotta say, watching you has made the game so much more entertaining because I'm always trying to reach your level of expertise, probably wont get that far but I'll try my best
Try to make friends. If you have people to play with it makes this game much more fun! I recommend chatting in our server to meet some cool people discord.minerva.gg
@@xMistaBeastxGames yup I'm already in the discord lol, I don't talk much there but I will eventually lol, maybe if someone needs help with something I'll be there, recently went on a power up spree and in one day, from being PL 110, I made it to PL 124, biggest accomplishment yet
Defender pad is the cheapest easiest trapping imho. I place them on platform w 4 walls below (1 tile up) I place 2/3 bars wide 1/3 bars high wall edit around him, with a roof, diagonally edited (lobber protection) They help w especially when no ones at shelter for mini defense before repair shelter main defense after 8m before 4m defense. I use assault primarily sometimes sniper, with health, mag size, crit rating, so with stacking CR triple CD pain train, it really shreds. Occasionally dbl reload anti air nearby. He will normally stay alive in 160s, I rarely up him more than once. triangle roof helps as does his stats(cr/mag) with triple cd stacking cr pain train. Again if they put crazy 30 lobbers, I just despawn. My snipers I use crackshot like you said, it's decent. I have like 35+ decent leveled up legendary Defenders 😂. Awesome video though. Im really glad the channel has such an extensive library of videos.
Hi Beast, try any of the following when time/availability permit: AR defender with a semiautomatic Rifle (Rat King, Hunter Killer, Buzzcut) or slowfiring AR (Tiger) Pistol defender with Freedom's Herald or Ginger Blaster (when overleveled) Sniper defender with Deathwing is pretty nice (when you dont use obliterators).
I just hope this was intended for them or they getting a "fix". sometimes in events or kill challenge enemies spawn in a wall and the only way to kill them is with a sniper hero with the obliterator sniper
Beast, you gotta try freedoms herald on a pistol defender, its great. Oh and durability on a brightcore ol Betsy or whatever the scoped variant is, is very nice.
personally i have a single defender that has crit rating and double crit damage that always uses an obliterator with (also) crit rating and crit damage the guy melts husks really easily
Thanks for the heart 😜 I see you like the stabsworth lll i just got one from msk and it has hitting an enemy with this weapon grants +6 crit rating, how you found one?
When your in a level 160 twine mission even with a full lobby you can still drop defenders I believe you can have up to 6 defenders in 160 zone with 4 teammates
i have an ar defender with cr cd and dmg that does okay with a bundlebuss, as well as a pistol defender with double cr that i give a triple cd ginger blaster which is kinda cool for healing but exactly snipers are by far the only ones really worth using
I really like Legendary Rifle Defender - just make sure to keep her elevated, and build her some platforms so she can move. Boxing her is a bad idea all around. Keep looking for that Legendary Sniper Defender...i guess i could flux...but...nah.
I have a sniper defender that has increase magazine size by 30% Increases maximum shield by 24% Increases sniper rifle damage by 15% Increases maximum health by 24% Based on what you said in this video i assume it is worthit to upgrade her
Beast, Idkw when I'm trying to place the defenders using the sniper you show on this video, the game just crash every single moment it's just with that sniper rifle and the other one from the neon set.
Is it a more economic option to run brightcore obliterator on sniper defender? Since your recent video discuss the heavy hitting weapon like sniper or shotgun will have similar ttk.
I haven’t watched your recent daily update videos because I haven’t been able to play so I don’t know if you’ve addressed this but the chain lightning on my vacuum tube sword stopped working
what do you think of that sniper that looks like a keyboard, has the effect of making some enemies dance. and if I may ask why each of your videos is silent. when there is an ad pierce my ears XD
It can, they just don’t have the vision to use the range the sniper has. Unfortunately, only the Neon Sniper allows defenders to keep a good range while boxed in. The Obliterator has a limited range when the defender is boxed in.
What about the neon sniper ?since it can shoot through mountains is obliterater still better i have a neon but no obliteater ill have to use flux should i ?
Does defender perks stacks? I have a shotgun defender with 3 crit damage perks on it putting it over 150% crit damage.. if they don't stack he's useless
Fun fact: you can put around 10 defenders in storm shields so that could be really chaotic if you give them something like a room sweeper or a T.I.O.D.
Sorry but what is a T. I. O. D? I know it's an abbreviation for something but what is it
Tiny Instrument of Death. Unique pistol that does explosive damage.
@@monroedeonne4654 oh thx. I know the gun and used it a few times. It's name is really long tho
I can place 100 in mine with tthe add friend to ur room reload in trick

Personally, I like to use pistol defenders because I have the Ginger Blaster schematic. I like the extra heals when the defender eliminates a husk.
good choice

It's happening omg it's happening ever one stay calm!!!!
13:40 sniper defenders can't "see as far as the eye can see".... Their max range is 5 tiles, reduced to 4 tiles if they're shooting through walls with an obliterator.
He said 12 tiles if their view is unobstructed and 4 tiles if fully boxed up.
THANK YOU!!!! This is just awesome thank you sooooooo much man I really needed this (I remember seeing that background footage in the stream 😏)

Yea I’m pretty sure that’s how flingers used to work but they changed it to all damage not just melee
Re-seen the video that I saw he doing in the stream.
Stonks🔝🔝🔝
Val is a special defender with 4 damage perks. And then i have a AR/sub 4 damage perk defender. Its amazing!
I gotta look for her
Melee defenders are actually absurdly tanky

good idea
Thanks for all the help beast, you have appreciation for all of us 😊
Love that name and profile lmao
Beast is a young version of the male sniper defender.
oo
Honestly a very good video can’t wait to come back to this tomorrow cause I forgot everything important about perks. Gonna start using your code 💪🏽
I got rid of my Neon Sniper. The only use I can see for it now is to keep tabs on what enemies are approaching in harder events.
personally i have a single defender that has crit rating and double crit damage that always uses an obliterator with (also) crit rating and crit damage
the guy melts husks really easily
Finally, here’s the defender video!
It's here! No more delays!
Yes. Love all your videos
ruclips.net/video/Jb9JDFKsVTw/видео.html
@mr.joudYT dont self promo that is rude
The pistol defender was hip firing which was why she wouldn’t lock onto farther targets
Thanks for the vid! I did know about defenders but not there weapon skill 😅
Thanks for the heart 😜 I see you like the stabsworth lll i just got one from msk and it has hitting an enemy with this weapon grants +6 crit rating, how you found one?
Thanks I needed this cause I always use snipers and I agree the other ones are kinda useless love the vids and streams mista
When your in a level 160 twine mission even with a full lobby you can still drop defenders I believe you can have up to 6 defenders in 160 zone with 4 teammates
capped at 4
I just did my ssd and my sniper defender was using a xzenon bow it was op
I usually put a defender pad on the amps in SSDS with aa traps to handle fingers
i have an ar defender with cr cd and dmg that does okay with a bundlebuss, as well as a pistol defender with double cr that i give a triple cd ginger blaster which is kinda cool for healing but exactly snipers are by far the only ones really worth using

Tiger Assault Rifle from the military set works too if you're trying to mix it up. As always, great vid packed with info.
Love mag size and fire rate since i have crit builds with reload weapons
Now I get why the sniper defenders are the best awesome video beast
Wish i would've known that about Chrome huskies... I got so tired of killing those dudes over and over
ginger blaster is good for support defenders. Hydraulic sniper and pistol are both good for stunlocking and making everyones ears bleed
Pistol defender is really good with jacks revenge
If you're low on materials there are also defenders with weapon durability perks
yes there are
YAY, finally a video going over defenders.
When video end I swear it was 8min lol thanks for the tips i have a double crit dmg and a crit rating sniper its my favorite.
Good video sir..ive always used defenders with obliviators ...sometimes they're more reliable than randoms lol
Yes they are
Pistol and melee defenders my personal favourite
If I have Sniper defenders with two c.r. Should I ditch the crit rating on my obliterater and go mag size? 4 bullets doesn’t seem enough.
That actually sounds fine to me considering the circumstances. Maybe 2x Crit Damage if possible
I can make defender pads no problem it’s the rough ore or crystals that I eat through 😂
How about the bugged "dragon roar" ?. If a rifle defender use it, it constantly blocks the husks and smashers.

increase magazine size by 30%
Increases maximum shield by 24%
Increases sniper rifle damage by 15%
Increases maximum health by 24%

It can, they just don’t have the vision to use the range the sniper has. Unfortunately, only the Neon Sniper allows defenders to keep a good range while boxed in. The Obliterator has a limited range when the defender is boxed in.
