*Welcome to the most underpowered overpowered build imaginable!* p.s. Bethesda removed some of the trader chests so now I am very annoyed Also reasons why unarmed sucks: - Does Not Scale With level - Is not buffed by other equipment - Is only buffed by 2 meds - Is Very Slow - Has no weight or impact - The Lowest DPS in the entire game - Enemies will runaway constantly (Unlike in skyrim) - Requires you to break every other aspect of the game to make it viable
The secret to a really great melee build in this game is crouching. Once you knock the enemy down, crouch and then your attacks become stealth attacks (since they're stunned they can't see you) and suddenly you're doing x 2 dmg. It will also let you start working up the stealth skills, which get stupidly good and stacks really well with a fisticuffs spacer build
Yeap, highest level of damage for unarmed is 10x sneak attack that goes to 600+ damage power attack headshot. It still has a really low base damage though since the wakizashi on the same character would do near 3k sneak headshot power attack and the vaarun painblade does nearly 4k.
Dang, that's like a no holds barred beatdown. Like, they're already down and delirious, better sit on them and mma smash their skull in til they stop moving.
The issue is stealth detection is currently broken in the thanks to multiple bugs. Equally it's still massively made superfluous by guns doing all this and more
I think it speaks volumes that an "officially" supported playstyle (as in, one backed up by in-game skills/mechanics) requires all this exploitation to be _almost servicable_
Yeah it feels a bit pointless to have it in since theres so little you can do to make it work. At least in skyrim you could train your crafting skills to make overpowered gauntlets which made it interesting to figure out how strong you could get
Melee also broken right now; what gets me really mad is that you can apply weapon tiers to melee weapons as well and it works flawlessly. All code is there. Its just doesnt work for whatever the hell reason.
This unarmed gameplay really brings me back to Morrowind where you have to punch your enemy for 15 minutes, while they lie crying on the ground and are unable to fight back, just to kill them. Bethesda games truly never change.
Tbh at this point I suspect it's intentional. Like, it would have been trivial to move the chests down or at least lock them or whatever, but they remain unlocked and accessible through the floor. And it's not like they just left it as is and didn't make a trivial fix. They had to position those chests, it's not like they ported their positions directly from Skyrim somehow, which means that they chose to put those chests there again, even though it would have been just as easy to put them a few units down.
@@yaksherYou're right. The glitches are what makes these Bethesda games so fun and allows it to become a true sandbox because you can control every variable. It's a good sign that the devs still realize that in my opinion.
I got so annoyed at one NPC's trash talking that I literally rammed her ship to pieces. I had enough particle DPS to vaporize her in 5 seconds, but I didn't fire once. Fun times!
My favorite is that when you knock them down, they won't get up until you hit them again. So you can knock each enemy down and have a roomful of bad guys laying around forever.
Unfortunately, they patched the chests out some time ago. I don't understand why they left the dawnstar chest alone for 13 years but patched the starfield chests after 3 weeks.
People should have just kept cool about the treasure chests in Skyrim. But like since people have literally made hundreds of thousands of dollars bitching that Bethesda never fixes game exploits and use the damned chest as their rallying cry, this is what happens. People can't say Bethesda doesn't listen 😂😂
@@grustlytaj8708 they can so, i submitted a formal complaint to the company itself immediately after i found out about the patch requesting they put the chests back in.
Meanwhile there is still a game breaking bug that deleted all my cargo and erased the name of my ship, it is literally unnamed, just blank. When I try to rename it, nothing happens.
Reanu Keeves may not be our protagonist in this particular story, but bless Todd Howard for allowing Reanu to transcend the boundaries of an atmosphere and spread his influence across all of space and time.
I get that with the limits of the creation engine they have to use the chests to hold shop inventory, but why wouldn't they think to put them lower under the map? Or in some asset box only with the use of Dev magic. At that this point they should be cheeky and put custom signs posts near them that read: 'Player please don't steal from this.'
You'd think bethesda would have learned their lesson with all the lootable merchant chests in skyrim (that they never patched). One of the most well known exploits in any game, and they did the same damn thing in 2023
I mean, at this point its a feature, and many people would get dissapointed/angry if it was patched. Plus, if you dont like the boost it gives, just dont use it.
The best unarmed RPG build I've encountered is in Daggerfall (Unity). In that game you need certain weapon materials to defeat certain enemies. A regular iron weapon won't defeat certain supernatural enemies, for instance. But your fists can defeat anything. And they get very powerful, and very fast. By the time your agility is maxed out you're basically a cracked out kung fu master blitzing through the hallways and rapid fire punching any and all enemies to death. It's magnificent.
For me it is full monk build in Baldur’s Gate 3. Running around a fairy tale land as Jackie Chan just whooping everyone’s ass with no weapons is great.
@@rogers4760 I have pictures of one of my shek punching a Paladin over the Trap in the Holy Nation. Literally flinging the body over it due to some weird ragdoll twitching.
Fallout 2 did a pretty good job of it, too. With higher-tier unarmed attacks bypassing armor in addition to getting buffs to crit chance and raw damage, it was perfectly viable right up until the final boss, and even then, a mega powerfist made up the difference. Funny how 25-year old RPGs had this crap figured out, and Bethesda is just scratching their heads. "We gave you perks! What more do you want?" Perhaps a little testing to see if those perks do enough to make the build actually viable? Just a thought!
When I first saw that Starfield has several perks for unarmed melee, I thought I could make a character focused on that. Flying through space, punching dudes in the face. But just the fact that there's no button to switch to Unarmed was enough to stop me from doing that. And it also became clear quickly that all those Unarmed perks are actually shit. It doesn't matter that you can increase Unarmed damage by 100%, because doubling no damage is still no damage.
Yeah, kinda disappointed that a run like that would probably really tedious, esprecially on higher difficulties. Guess we gotta wait for modders to fix it, like always.
The cutter (mining laser) is one of the most op weapons in game. You see with the laser perks maxed out, you have a chance to set enemies on fire. Now you would think that the cutter counts as one hit, but ut does not it counts as a few hundred hits / second, so you get the burning debuff on enemies really fast, and because the burning debuff takes a set percentage points/ tick ohhhh and it does stack my tea drinking friends, you can kill terrormorphs in a few seconds, and whabam, there you go, one of the most perfectly balanced weapons in the game. You’re welcome 😁😈
The laser skill was the first one I maxed out and used the cutter exclusively for almost half the game while I was stockpiling ammo for the true beasts.
@@oliviamoore3426 it certainly is a lot of fun. I’m level 86 now and I still use it against terrormorphs because it seems like they are extremely vulnerable to fire 🔥
If you think about it, the whole having your fists up to box faster makes perfect sense because that's how boxing works. Keep your hands up at all times! Perfectly balanced gameplay.
Reminds me of my FO4 playthrough with the Wolverine mod. Insane regen, resists to conditions so high you're basically immune, and claws that can murderize _everything._
13:45 That's the same exploit I use when I'm playing Oblivion. Spells cast much faster when you hold block at the same time. Todd Howard, you son of a gun.
@@braindecay9477 I feel that the Skyrim chests carry more weight because people have used them for so much content that Bethesda probably decided to keep them. The Starfield chests are quite new so patching them out wouldn't affect the community that much
I love this vid, more of these challenge videos please!!! I've sunk like 14 days into the game and finished most side quests and collected all collectibles and unique weapons/armours/achievements. Now I just enjoy watching the community. Keep it up bossman
You can tell this video was originally made a little while back or he didn't update his game, as the chest's were move in the last update. The chests in the ground isn't a thing anymore.
I think you are missing some damage options here. I believe that if you stun everyone, you can then sneak, and do massive sneak attack damage on each one to finish them off.
I'm already looking forward to your 11 hour montage of Starfield content, Spiff. To be fair, I'll only have to wait half as long for that 11 year mark as I had to wait for Starfield to come out. GGs, bro.
@@TheSometimeAfter lol, “play”, you mean grind out credits to buy what you want? You watch TSB because he “has to play the game”, be less disingenuous.
When I saw people explain why Unarmed and its skills are useless, I knew Spiff was feverishly working out a way to make it overpowered. Edit: Sadly he has failed. Our Lord and Savior Todd has forsaken us!
Forget fixing the exploits, I just want... 1) The outpost interlink system to WORK, especially with regards to helium; I have to have helium production in every star system just to export to my main base as importing from a megafacility in my main star system doesn't work right, meaning I need TWO bases in each system and we only get 24 outposts to play with when there's already more than a dozen unique resources along with all the various rare and uncommon resources... 2) The ability to sort/split the resources from interlinks so I can find just where in my storage-jungle my tungsten is hiding 3) Minor spoilers, but when we finish the main quest, I want to keep my scanned info. Yeah yeah, the universe gets reset, but I should still know where all the resources are!
Im willing to bet that the only reason games like Oblivion and Skyrim are still played so much today, its BECAUSE of the jank. If they fixed all the bugs amd exploits, amd released a nice clean well perfirming game, people woukd play it a few times and it would die. The comedy keeps people coming back and makes it iconic.
I mean... bigger bugs might be more complicated so they might take more time to fix and test to see the fix didn't break something else? Sure, it's Bethesda, who knows if they'll ever get fixed, but a month is not a lot of time to do this shit.
On top of the drugs you already used and rebinding boost, they sell a drink at The Red Mile called Runners Rush with bonus movement speed, DR and O2 recovery.
Decided to change my jump key to a spare mouse button and yes, the pack works so much better. Hated the button change so I went into Razer Synapse and changed my space bar to be that mouse button when playing Starfield. Worked like a charm. And yes, it is SOOOOOO much better.
@@Ubayla I dunno. In the trailer a year ago, when it showed the boost and them firing on the spacers, the boost sure pushed him forward. After using it playing today I feel like this is how it was intended. The boost pack actually feels like more than just a shitty ladder.
Advice for the Red mile... don't take the elevator down, you are already outside, you don't need to. Work on maxing boost pack... then you can actually boost skip from the platform the entire way to the beacon, and then boost skip back to the elevator... no enemies needed.
One of the origins gives you the targeting ability, meaning you can kill the enemy ship engines in the space tutorial, board and punch them to death. So it is quite possible to kill the tutorial enemies entirely with punchies.
To help with co2 drain in fights you can use the personal atmosphere power as you deplete your co2 to instantly replenish it and get unlimited co2 for a little bit.
Star Field is not a partfect game at all. However, a positive thing I can say is that the rewards for faction quests were usually awesome. The Star Eagle ship is one of the best mid-weights in the game, the UC quest gives you sick looking armor and a minigun, that one corporation basically gives you the ability to win persuasion checks automatically and a unique stealth suit. These rewards felt impactful compared to Skyrim or Fallout 4, where you basically just got some money, or were made a leader with no tangible benefits aside from getting procedurally generated fetch quests.
I think the Freestar Ranger quest line is pretty difficult to do with fists only. At least with the main quest you get space powers along the way that help a lot.
Oh, it can be broken. Spiff just didn't know all the strats at the time. You can get Nuerostrikes and Concealment maxed, knock everyone out, and finish them with sneak attacks. In fact, you don't even need to knock them all out. Sneak attacks trigger on unconscious targets even if other enemies detect you. Also, Isolation effects Unarmed damage, as does Red Trench and the secondary effect of Grav Dash (increasing damage). Basically, use chems, be alone, and Grav Dash towards an enemy and you can deal 115% more damage. Once they are unconscious all that crit damage from crouching and power attacking them is calculated. That means 10x sneak multiplier MULTIPLIED by 115%. Plus, you can infinitely stunlock unconscious enemies, since as they try to get back up (if they survive the first crit), you just knock them back out again. Nuerostrikes also has some weird unexpected synergy with things you don't expect. Two great examples of this are Mirrored and Grenades. If you have a Mirrored legendary Spacesuit any reflected damage counts as EM damage, and even still has the chance to knock out an enemy instantly. So an enemy shooting you across the room can accidentally knock themselves out. Even more funny is if you throw a grenade, the blunt impact can deal EM damage. So you can knock an enemy out by hitting them directly with a grenade, and they're unable to run to cover from the explosion. With the proper build and some Powers (Void form is amazing with Unarmed) you can be outright broken, especially with the blocking animation cancel for Power Attacks.
In case anyone actually does want to do an unarmed build. Youll need suit mods and the right perks. But most importantly it gives you reason to use more powers and is actually very fun.
The most baffling thing about unarmed combat in this game, is that there are a plethora of perks dedicated entirely to it, yet it is still godawful compared to everything else. Like I could understand if it was a weak mechanic that became strong once you had all or most of the perks, but it just remains bad the entire time AND you sunk a ton of points into some useless skills.
idk if it would take mods or not, but im ready to see you do a mele-only ship build. like is ramming even a thing? massive sheild and some pointy bits up front?
It is. Ive had a few instances where i had a ship at low health and boosted into it. Not sure how much damage it actually does, but its a thing. Viable option? I highly doubt it. Still an attack option? Yes.
There are some glitches that were present back in oblivion such as blocking and punching and the glitch with chest merchants was there in dawnstar too......perfectly balanced
I *crave* a stream where Todd and Spiff play Starfield together and every time Spiff finds a bug or exploit and praises our lord and saviour Todd Howard, he's actually there to comment on it. I also think it would be the best content YT has ever seen. Make it happen, Spiff! Call him! Just imagine: "Oh it's so little damage!" "It doesn't just work like that, though. Try crouching." "What's this, this is so much damage!" "Far more than sixteen times the damage, in fact." "Thank you, Todd." "You're welcome."
I did my first playthrough as unarmed and had a lot of fun, but I used the sneak attack mechanics to do a lot more damage with the punches. worked out great!

Also reasons why unarmed sucks:
- Does Not Scale With level
- Is not buffed by other equipment
- Is only buffed by 2 meds
- Is Very Slow
- Has no weight or impact
- The Lowest DPS in the entire game
- Enemies will runaway constantly (Unlike in skyrim)
- Requires you to break every other aspect of the game to make it viable
A classic bethesda exploit, leaving chests in the ground.
@@coreyfinn5532 bethesda follows the golden rule, if it works in oblivion then it must work forever.
I enjoyed so many personal ATM's. It's a single player game, I wish they hadn't patched the chests out.
Does that rescue axe only do the glitch? Or any melee weapons?
as far as I know the rescue axe is the best at pulling this off

This unarmed gameplay really brings me back to Morrowind where you have to punch your enemy for 15 minutes, while they lie crying on the ground and are unable to fight back, just to kill them. Bethesda games truly never change.
At least in Morrowind it was explainable with the game mechanics. They just straight up refused to make unarmed viable in Starfield.
ok
i mean, this has a railgun. It changed. No one told you to beat difficult warriors to death with your bare hands, that's on you.

He's obviously not a believer in digital currency, or even debit/credit cards
Tbh at this point I suspect it's intentional. Like, it would have been trivial to move the chests down or at least lock them or whatever, but they remain unlocked and accessible through the floor.

They had to position those chests, it's not like they ported their positions directly from Skyrim somehow, which means that they chose to put those chests there again, even though it would have been just as easy to put them a few units down.

Edit: Sadly he has failed. Our Lord and Savior Todd has forsaken us!
Lmao! Love this guy. He's the only youtuber I know that can make a half hour feel like 7 to 10 minutes. Time flies when you're having fun!
It's really great to see the father of the Island Bois putting a good name in for their family again as an Astronaut.
Thank you Todd Howard for continuing to make such perfect games! They just work!
*_SIXTEEN TIMES THE DETAIL_*
@@Double_Vision He didn't say 16x what though. 16x a blank piece of paper is 16 pieces of blank paper.
Great to see more content chap!
Glad you enjoy it!
Forget fixing the exploits, I just want...
1) The outpost interlink system to WORK, especially with regards to helium; I have to have helium production in every star system just to export to my main base as importing from a megafacility in my main star system doesn't work right, meaning I need TWO bases in each system and we only get 24 outposts to play with when there's already more than a dozen unique resources along with all the various rare and uncommon resources...
2) The ability to sort/split the resources from interlinks so I can find just where in my storage-jungle my tungsten is hiding
3) Minor spoilers, but when we finish the main quest, I want to keep my scanned info. Yeah yeah, the universe gets reset, but I should still know where all the resources are!
the doom music at 11:30 make this a thousands times better
The fact that Spiff did this whole video without figuring out how to quick-use aid items is impressive to me.
And also didn't start with a class that give him the unarmed skill straight from the start lmao 😂
Todd and YT must really love spiffing brit, they Dedicates an entire team just to just watch his vids and patch things
Imagine being heavily armed mercenary group and then all your friends are fisted to death
Fisting your way across the universes it a fine way to win a game.
Great work!
🎉
Missed opportunity to name him Count of Monte Fisto
I love perfectly balanced gameplay. Thank you, your Tea-lordship!
Glad you enjoyed!
'Field of the North Star: The Fisting' huge stomach churning expansion package.
It's funny how bugthesda fixes minor exploits but game/quest breaking bugs are just ignored
Its been a month. If yall are happygiving cp77 3 years we can give bethesda a few months
@@dickyboi4956Well, it's not the speed but the priority. Game breaking bug? Nah fam, can't have people getting rich quick in a single player game!
@@dickyboi4956 never played cyber punk so how can I compare the 2?
Im willing to bet that the only reason games like Oblivion and Skyrim are still played so much today, its BECAUSE of the jank. If they fixed all the bugs amd exploits, amd released a nice clean well perfirming game, people woukd play it a few times and it would die. The comedy keeps people coming back and makes it iconic.
I mean... bigger bugs might be more complicated so they might take more time to fix and test to see the fix didn't break something else? Sure, it's Bethesda, who knows if they'll ever get fixed, but a month is not a lot of time to do this shit.

On top of the drugs you already used and rebinding boost, they sell a drink at The Red Mile called Runners Rush with bonus movement speed, DR and O2 recovery.
Love your videos. I am hoping for 12 years of Starfield videos so keep em coming.
Tod is really pushing the technology with those damage numbers.
Decided to change my jump key to a spare mouse button and yes, the pack works so much better. Hated the button change so I went into Razer Synapse and changed my space bar to be that mouse button when playing Starfield. Worked like a charm. And yes, it is SOOOOOO much better.
How have I not heard about this before??? Which is the bug, I wonder?
@@Ubayla I dunno. In the trailer a year ago, when it showed the boost and them firing on the spacers, the boost sure pushed him forward. After using it playing today I feel like this is how it was intended. The boost pack actually feels like more than just a shitty ladder.
Advice for the Red mile... don't take the elevator down, you are already outside, you don't need to.
Work on maxing boost pack... then you can actually boost skip from the platform the entire way to the beacon, and then boost skip back to the elevator... no enemies needed.
Impressive. Maxing stealth and pickpocketing to be able to remove weapons might help this build a bit.
One of the origins gives you the targeting ability, meaning you can kill the enemy ship engines in the space tutorial, board and punch them to death.
So it is quite possible to kill the tutorial enemies entirely with punchies.
You can only board the last ship alive, and you fight two at once during the tutorial, so you can’t punch them all.
@@Skyblade12 ...I boarded a ship while the other was still flying about.
So maybe more testing is needed. Been playing via cloud on XBONE.
Only a guy like Spiff would think up the pun "The Count of Monte Fisto." What a guy!
It's one of Apollo Creed's ring names dude!
To help with co2 drain in fights you can use the personal atmosphere power as you deplete your co2 to instantly replenish it and get unlimited co2 for a little bit.
Moon form is also a great power to use for melee
Star Field is not a partfect game at all. However, a positive thing I can say is that the rewards for faction quests were usually awesome. The Star Eagle ship is one of the best mid-weights in the game, the UC quest gives you sick looking armor and a minigun, that one corporation basically gives you the ability to win persuasion checks automatically and a unique stealth suit. These rewards felt impactful compared to Skyrim or Fallout 4, where you basically just got some money, or were made a leader with no tangible benefits aside from getting procedurally generated fetch quests.
The fact that you even tried playing this 9/10 masterpiece is commendable.
I think the Freestar Ranger quest line is pretty difficult to do with fists only. At least with the main quest you get space powers along the way that help a lot.
You know it's the wrong kind of broken when even Spiff can't brake it.
Oh, it can be broken. Spiff just didn't know all the strats at the time. You can get Nuerostrikes and Concealment maxed, knock everyone out, and finish them with sneak attacks. In fact, you don't even need to knock them all out. Sneak attacks trigger on unconscious targets even if other enemies detect you. Also, Isolation effects Unarmed damage, as does Red Trench and the secondary effect of Grav Dash (increasing damage). Basically, use chems, be alone, and Grav Dash towards an enemy and you can deal 115% more damage. Once they are unconscious all that crit damage from crouching and power attacking them is calculated. That means 10x sneak multiplier MULTIPLIED by 115%. Plus, you can infinitely stunlock unconscious enemies, since as they try to get back up (if they survive the first crit), you just knock them back out again.
Nuerostrikes also has some weird unexpected synergy with things you don't expect. Two great examples of this are Mirrored and Grenades. If you have a Mirrored legendary Spacesuit any reflected damage counts as EM damage, and even still has the chance to knock out an enemy instantly. So an enemy shooting you across the room can accidentally knock themselves out. Even more funny is if you throw a grenade, the blunt impact can deal EM damage. So you can knock an enemy out by hitting them directly with a grenade, and they're unable to run to cover from the explosion.
With the proper build and some Powers (Void form is amazing with Unarmed) you can be outright broken, especially with the blocking animation cancel for Power Attacks.
Should of gone for a stealth fister build... give people a shocking surprise 😅.
Great work bro. Just keep going. Always be with you.
Never question Todd's perfect design.
In case anyone actually does want to do an unarmed build. Youll need suit mods and the right perks. But most importantly it gives you reason to use more powers and is actually very fun.
Life forced and moon form are game changers for melee/unarmed play
We love spiff
Me to
spliff
I also love spiff. (self love is very important)
Perfect timing :))
10:31 TODD you’ve done it again, what a masterpiece
“Not enjoyable gameplay” -spiffing Brit.
Couldn’t of said it better myself.
The most baffling thing about unarmed combat in this game, is that there are a plethora of perks dedicated entirely to it, yet it is still godawful compared to everything else. Like I could understand if it was a weak mechanic that became strong once you had all or most of the perks, but it just remains bad the entire time AND you sunk a ton of points into some useless skills.
idk if it would take mods or not, but im ready to see you do a mele-only ship build. like is ramming even a thing? massive sheild and some pointy bits up front?
It is. Ive had a few instances where i had a ship at low health and boosted into it. Not sure how much damage it actually does, but its a thing. Viable option? I highly doubt it. Still an attack option? Yes.
I love that the unarmed build is mostly about how to avoid combat
00:52 what I picture when you talk 😂
There are some glitches that were present back in oblivion such as blocking and punching and the glitch with chest merchants was there in dawnstar too......perfectly balanced
I like'd my own Comment
I liked your own comment, too!
I always imagine todd Howard is watching somewhere… plotting his revenge on spiff for ruining his perfect vision 😂😂😂😂
Glorious 2023 standard of gaming... and glorious to watch you breaking it
You’ve really outdone yourself with the beautiful character creator this time
LOVING! the music. thank you Spiff for the nostalgia trip.
I *crave* a stream where Todd and Spiff play Starfield together and every time Spiff finds a bug or exploit and praises our lord and saviour Todd Howard, he's actually there to comment on it.
I also think it would be the best content YT has ever seen. Make it happen, Spiff! Call him! Just imagine:
"Oh it's so little damage!"
"It doesn't just work like that, though. Try crouching."
"What's this, this is so much damage!"
"Far more than sixteen times the damage, in fact."
"Thank you, Todd."
"You're welcome."
It was great hearing Ron Hope's voice done by an Elder Scrolls/Fallout legend Wes Johnson, who did a lot of deity voices in Elder Scrolls.
Ironically, you used your legs more that your fists to go through your fights.
Some of the glitches in Bethesda games are so esoteric that I'm convinced Todd puts them in on purpose.
This measly mortal would not stand a chance against Reanu Keaves .
From all the Howarding and Todding in the world, this is what you came up with. Great discoveries! Indeed
Spif: having to use exploits to make a boxing build even slightly viable.
Todd Howard: “it just works.”
Oh my, I was so SO hoping that you would do exactly this!
Got my tea ready for this one.
Im so glad this fine gentleman can at least initially understand the joy of ignoring common sense and chosing the power of paunch in a sci-fi setting
Like so many other of your creations, Count Fisto will haunt my nightmares... I shouldn't have pressed the like button.
I did my first playthrough as unarmed and had a lot of fun, but I used the sneak attack mechanics to do a lot more damage with the punches. worked out great!
