btw the dodge roll can be replaced with a really cool and useful dash if you have the correct aug, it's way better than the dodge roll because it pushes the enemies away and overall makes you go further
Get Gamepass bruh. If you’re spending $5/month on gold anyway… It’s like $10 extra per month. It already would have saved you at least $90 in the span of a couple months.
@@mauricetarver1031 lots of them are very fun but most don't have quite as much as an rpg aspect as this so so some may not have as much do with upgrading your character type in action role playing games on google and it will come up with similar style games such as diablo which is similar in style but without being as gun based
I’ve been playing this for 3 nights so far, holy shit it’s so beautiful to look at. I can imagine how amazing a over the shoulder version of this would look
Something most don't realize, but more points into your attrib, increases the "rarity" of the augment. This dynamically increases its power, beyond what the attrib also affects. 40+ points into an attrib makes the augment purple, highest rarity. An example, 40+ cybernetics and drone bombs, the attrib will give you a ton of drones, but at purple rarity the damage is also at epic level.
The most independent breakdown of The Ascent features to date. Very much appreciated and I cant waitvti dive back in and start looking for a build. Currently at lvl14🤙 Part 2?🤔
Much appreciated 😀...should have my first build guide out today and then I'm gonna play around with a lot of other options and find some nice different ones as well
gotta say just having a new game after 3 months is making me happy ha luckily this one is a lot of fun.....first build guide should be tomorrow....its a beast =)
@@DC-iu2eh had a friend with the same I think it's getting close to when everyone needs to upgrade to the new xbox series x lots are struggling to perform now and games will only get better so can definitely see older hardware struggling....a friend told me he had the same and found a fan helped a little as it was overheating his xbox 😅
Yoooo thx for this video! I got it for PS5 when it dropped on console, been loving it. One question though...what's with the weapon comparison stats color & symbols not consistently making sense? For instance, why would changing from a weapon with Reload Time of 3.0 to one with 1.6 appear in Red with a down arrow for that stat?
if i remember correctly there were a few issues at launch that showed some stats incorrectly I would imagine it's been patched now and the issues fixed👍
@@sofasupastargaming Eh, that patch for consoles must be coming out on a later date. Other than that, and perhaps the lack of melee and no Sprint button, this shit is hard to put down. Thx for the reply bro
Super cool guide ! But I have a question ! ^^ is there a max to an augmentation boosted ? For exemple if I put 20 points on Weapon Handling and 20 others in Aiming, I will have a total of 40 in Motorics. Is that overkill ? Like too much ? Because if, let's say that the augment Neutron Beam reach his max level at 30 of Motorics, then I have 10 points wasted. Dunno if I'm clear ^^ I hope you get my point. Adding to this, clothes add some points to attributes so I need to check every clothes for putting the good amount of points where I want them. I love builds ... Thank's for your guide !
If I remember correctly been a while since i covered this game but 20 was max then the clothes added on top of that so it can help in order to make 1 skill you really like very powerful and was well worth going above the max points for it...mostly i found useful for the damage
Is there a way to reallocate skill points after assignment? For example I accidentally added 3 skill points to critical hit at the beginning. Can I reset and allow 1 points each to 2 other categories? Thanks.
Yup have a little look on my channel should be a guide to help you out on how to re allocate skill points if your struggling...but in general look for the grafter
Great explanation, man. Would you mind explaining the weapon damage types and the armour tier colours. Is purple or gold/yellow the highest quality tier? And does the colour of the weapon damage types correlate to your skill point investment? i.e. Would a high Motorics level make Ballistic damage guns work best (blue) for you [provided the gun itself rates high on that damage type - indicated as red 🤔]? It's a bit confusing. Because the energy lightning icon on my sniper rifle turns blue just as the ballistic [pellet] turns blue on the assault rifle. But I have higher Motorics and Frame for my Augments [blue and purple] . Does not compute. :3
this game has an odd colour system ive been doing a lot of exploring and havent quite completed the game but as far as im aware the purple is pretty much the end game or best items....this also applies when it shows your augments after you invest a lot of points i believe 40 plus youll notice they turn purple to show they are top tier.....damage of weapons only increases by upgrading the weapon but crit increases their damage massively if you invest in it as you will gain all that extra crit damage when it does crit....upgrade attributes to buff augments of same colour and upgrade weapon and crit if you want gun damage.....energy hurts robots more ballistic is normal flame for fleshy and explosive is just good on anything pretty much unless it has a shield...some augments like neutron beam have pierce this negates armor and melts....pretty much everything
@@sofasupastargaming Thanks very much! They should just paste that paragraph in the in-game tutorial. Now I gotta reconfigure. I've borked it because of this colour mapping. 😬
@@SICK_O i must admit the game is very much just heres a gun work the rest out yourself lol even the quests have me confused half the time...never seen a game where you cant complete sidequests cos you pick them up to early ha....but still a great game and fun so hopefully theyll patch and get dlc one day
@@sofasupastargaming you didn't play much of RPGs if you have problem with side quests in this title :D The game approaches player in old school manner, and that is freaking refreshing. It can be a bit confusing for a moment or two, but that is why it's more interesting. These days players are offended if the game challenges them in terms of using logic or being patient. Nice game overall, looking forward to see more of your videos
@@mocnijogurt I think it was one quest in particular that locks a few things off but it could be quite confusing as it is locked behind another later game sub quest rather than a main quest like in most games so if you are not doing all sub quests it could be very confusing as scrapland would not be open to you....lots more vids on the way builds and some fun stuff =)
Thank you. I needed this video to understand all of this. Game Menu and especially gear numbers are so unintuitive. I can't understand what the developers were thinking when using such small text and numbers, and NOT color code the Menu more. It's all fucking red on red on red. Frustrating. Item pickups are color coded so why aren't the menu colored with the corresponding color? Just insane.
Loving the game, the gun play, the visuals and atmosphere of this game, BUT, why does the game insist on swapping out my weapons and armour for ones I pick up? Can anyone enlighten me on this - am I missing something? Can you not lock down your build? And the whole cosmetic aspect doesn't seem to work either. Have picked up so many 'skins', but when it comes to a vendor that deals with this kind of thing, nothing. So is that aspect of the game bugged, too?
@@sofasupastargaming its a place where your subscribers can donate some money. So that u can grow. RUclips is getting stingy with giving creaters funds from ads. Patrion is a way to remedy that.
I'm max level but do skills boost past 20? it seems when I use hyper focus "the bubble" using armor that's boosts it actually glitches it and resets it back down to 0+ the number on your armor peice
the game has a very confusing mechanic if you are not far enough along in the main storyline and havent done certain side quests earlier ones cant be completed ... check out my how to unlock srapland guide this may be what your stuck on
all depends what augments your gonna use a really powerful motorics build will prioritise reload over crit sounds strange but thats where your damage will come from

Great video, thanks! I just started playing and am very surprised by this game.
It's a really nice game to just have fun with and try to make your character completely overpowered👍
Best video explaining the game's different systems👍🏿
Appreciated hope it helps 👍
@@sofasupastargaming I think I'll be able to start making some better builds for the different areas 👍🏿
This video helped me more then any other Ascent video i've watched! TY so much!
Glad it helped!
The ascent!!!!!! Dopest game I've seen in a little min
definitely a fun game to play👍
Let's see some game play with your set up so far. Im so glad we are on to the ascent!

Better game than Cyberpunk and cost half the price. Lesson learned. AAA titles mean shit nowadays
Pro tip if yea want make combat little big easier off the bat max crit hit first and use fast firing weapons with loads of chances to crit
Video is most helpful.....thanks man!!
Glad it helped!
