Something i found with more testing on the uniforms is that some of the uniforms will give you helmets, the helmets seem to block 1 bullet and fly off then any other headshot will kill the solider, with the exception being sniper rounds which go through the helmet and take them out right away. The bullet proof vests/rigs that the more elite uniforms wear seem not do much besides when i was shooting them with pistols they took 5 in the chest instead of 4 but all the other guns i tested was still the same amount as the non armored uniforms such as police. I will do more testing on the soldiers and their uniforms and put out a video about them.
In all my days of playing so many random strategy games where you make units and customize them, I don't think I've ever come across such a strange and scuffed system, thank you for making this tutorial as I truly had no idea what the fuck I was doing
Thanks for the support! I dont really like how it is currently but thats what we have to work with for now im sure they know its clunky lol (the squad customs that is i like the game overall so far lol)
I find it funny how u can pop headshots from 200 meter with a pistol and be your primary weapon instead a side arm. But the realism is off the charts, u have food, ammo, fuel, iron ore, alcohol. U can send convoys to town to resupply. u need to manage population, diplomacy, technology, trade, construction and fighting. Greatest game of the year already.
If you don't have the selected uniform, it will automatically use the next uniform down, until the police uniform. AFAIK, if you don't have any uniforms of any kind, you can't recruit.
Thank you so much, really helpful video! I thought I was just being dumb but looks like its the game itself. I hope they make it easier and more "sandboxy"
I added a pinned comment on the video too about the uniforms. Which I thought were cosmetic which they are but some get helmets and body armor which improve their survivability by a bit I will be doing more testing and put out a more in depth guide about them
Im really glad i found your channel, these guides have been so needed for the game as the game itself does such an insanely bad job at teaching, Personally, im absolutely addicted to the game and love it, but at the same time, some of the design choices they made make me absolutely dumbfounded on how they thought that was the way to go, im really hoping major reworks happen in squad management, city/nation management, logistic handling, but the game has such insanely great potential if they fix it up.
I did something similar and thought, what the hell I was doing - but after watching this video, I realized I did everything right. 😅I hope they remake this system. Thank's for this guide!😉
Thanks for watching! And the uniforms are armor which do take more bullets to kill if you hit them in the armor. And the helmets block some types of bullets so make sure ones that can get helmets have them
@@camco1197 Oh, got it. I thought it was just a uniform. Thank you. Have you tried gun silencers? Do they work, or does the enemy, immediately know where you are as soon as you shoot, regardless of whether you have it installed or not?
@@animatedboystories I thought they were just uniforms too at first until I tested them I did a whole video of killing my own men....for science! And I haven't tried the silencers yet there are so many things to try in the game I will try and do those soon lol
@@camco1197 Poor soldiers who died in the name of science😁 I have already subscribed, so I will follow your "science" progress in this game. And if there are any questions about this game, I will know where to look.
I made a squad that all but 2 members have AKS, the 2 exception soldiers have an SKS on the squad editor, but it made the whole squad with SKSs, why? I have always wanted a game like this but this one needs a lot of work. idk if it will get to a polished state before being abandoned.
Idk if you have enough SKS or lack of ammo maybe? And yes I complain everytime I play this that the combat is great but the campaign map and UI is horrible
all that im gathering is that this game has almost none of its features implemented and i should give up on playing it. Doesnt seem like there is any way to build and save certain squad loadouts, like how do you stop it from making a mechanized squad as opposed to a regular infantry squad? dosnt seem like you can. Also when making squads it seems like they will at random decide to use some attachments and some not?
@@camco1197 they released a recent update which added a lot of stuff and changed up how making/customizing squads works, i havent played around with it yet but from the patch notes it sounds like they fixed a good amount of the issues people had, not all but much more qol supposedly
You shoul# be able to do it in the customize squad tab. Take the unit you want it on and make a preset on a soldier in the squad. For example if you want a red dot on a ump select the ump and there should be an optics and attachment drop on the right side where you can pick compatable attachments with those weapons. You must have the optic and weapon in the supplies/inventory of the town you are in or in the battalions inventory and when you make the squad and they reinforce the optic should be attached
This shit is so confusing. I hope they focus less on adding content and work more on making base functions like this actually work in a user friendly way.
Yes and some of the outfits do have helmets which can block 1 non sniper bullet. And some have some bullet proof vests which blocks some damage from the smaller arms
But also you can change the presets at any time. But if that squad isn't done reinforcing it will make the new unit, it will make whatever the most recent preset saved reinforce the already existing unit
@@camco1197 I wish the game can explain what upgrades the uniform. I noticed how you can change some of the soldier's gender, but the game just doesn''t explain anything. I understand why you said that the UI is complicated! The game doesn't explain anything.

It is definitely weird
I’d always give my rebels a neck gaiter face mask. Simple but effective for identity hiding. Wish I could give them armbands too.
Yeah that would be sick
I really hope they add more customisation options very soon. The uniforms and armour etc will make this really special
Yes I want to be able to completely customize everything and have an easier customization menu
This video is incredible, i look for some explain of the squad custom system since i buy the game ! Thx you did it !

It is definitely good
A floating tooltip with statistics on armour values or damage/penetration capabilities. When you hover over a piece of equipment.
If you don't have the selected uniform, it will automatically use the next uniform down, until the police uniform. AFAIK, if you don't have any uniforms of any kind, you can't recruit.
Thank you so much, really helpful video! I thought I was just being dumb but looks like its the game itself. I hope they make it easier and more "sandboxy"
I'm sure they will flesh more stuff out as it is in early access
Thank you for this video I was so confused on how to recruit other troops 😅

they really need to make this easier to hagve a squad with customized gear
Yes they do lol

@@camco1197 My bad, it was because i was using the useless "Recruit standard squad" instead of regular.
@@SagaraUrz yeah standard squads just take best available I believe

STILL?? I haven't played this in a while
@@camco1197 they are releasing updates every month but so far every single thing in the game is the same as this video shows :(
@@irbz2252 that's is upsetting

Bro massacred his team to test there armor lmao
Lmao yes yes I did
How do you attach optics ?
You shoul# be able to do it in the customize squad tab. Take the unit you want it on and make a preset on a soldier in the squad. For example if you want a red dot on a ump select the ump and there should be an optics and attachment drop on the right side where you can pick compatable attachments with those weapons. You must have the optic and weapon in the supplies/inventory of the town you are in or in the battalions inventory and when you make the squad and they reinforce the optic should be attached
And make sure you save the preset on the squad to make sure it's applied to the preset you made
This shit is so confusing. I hope they focus less on adding content and work more on making base functions like this actually work in a user friendly way.
So, the more reserach you do, the more customizations you get...
Yes and some of the outfits do have helmets which can block 1 non sniper bullet. And some have some bullet proof vests which blocks some damage from the smaller arms
But also you can change the presets at any time. But if that squad isn't done reinforcing it will make the new unit, it will make whatever the most recent preset saved reinforce the already existing unit
