Managed to cut a few minutes off to deliver the info/subtitles but.. I dunno, while it is more condensed, I feel like there's too much going on in one instance, like you need to focus on many things in at once. What do y'all think? Any advice?
My advice would be, if possible, to narrate the videos with a very similar script to what you have as subtitles. Videos with text to read generally don't transcend into being "content" and will end up being viewed only by people searching specifically for help/tutorials. But if you speak the lines yourself, the video now has personality (yours, to be specific!) and people will find your vids much more engaging, something closer to a conversation than reading a walkthrough online. Try your best to be confident, like you're talking to someone you're comfortable with. I dunno if this is the kind of advice you were looking for, but it's what I got. Good luck! edit: I also just want to add, it seems to me that you put a lot of thought/effort into the quality of your vids. Not everybody has this, so keep at it. Reading the comments, it seems others think so too.
That's true, I've even talk about this with my friend about it being narrated/voiced when making the Advanced Tips video, but english is not my native language and even if I speak using my native language I stumble quite often, my friend gave me an advice on using Text To Speech/TTS, which I've considered, but I'm going to need a software for that, the web version is too slow with the cooldown. Also thanks, as for effort, yea.. I think I should've put a bit less with my limited knowledge, I ended up Improving stuff into a section or entire video while it a glance (or maybe not) it's fine but then you look for closely it'll show, I kinda happy how it turns out though, using in-game stuff as a chapter segment and it's sound for example, but it could be better with more knowledge or even using a whole different- more advanced editing software, and thank you for the advice !
Very well done. I wish something this comprehensive was around when I first went through Exploration mode on PC. This is going to save a lot of you a LOT of time.
This is such a great video, the editing and the contents were really well put. I'm going to give solo exploration a try and see how it goes. Thanks for the guide!
yea, just made these because I'm trying the editing software, and I heard the game's free on EGS, so I put that and what I see/experience in a vid, and thanks for stopping by!
I believe the boss Strais' name determine their Arsenal model too, for example Strai RT:GF, "GF" stand for Grief so you can expect that Strai will have Grief's Arsenal model and gear. And then you have "EP" which stands for Empress, and so on.
Really?? I didn't know you could check the strais before picking one in the acid loot room. I just assumed the first one you press F, then the rest disappears. Thanks, you earned a sub.
Mods are extremely important. They can cut a fight down by an extremely long time. And, there's only one really good melee to use. It's nice to carry one with 3 modded slots. Honestly really hoping this game gets updates since they put it on Epic games.
yes, mods are really helpful. and true (the melee part) if you are min-maxing, but if you are focusing on PvE, you can use pretty much everything really
@@Erimos_ hey bro just saying but i have few questions not about exploration tho 1)how to get access to the secret factory(in the ice cream parlor but how to) 2)how to craft a boss weapon(i completed dreadonaught cuz i wanted it's weapon but i can't craft it)
I think they concluded updates a year and a half ago, at the 1 year anniversary mark. However, at the 2 year anniversary last Sept they confirmed they are working on DxM 2
it gets a sequel it seems.... I've played this for around 200 hour ish in my switch. Got everything I want for my mech and got all the loot from the raid bosses. I still have friends that is active in this game on switch
@@user-mp7sm6fv4y maybe this is too late but here it goes. 1. If I remember correctly, you have to buy ice creams for a set of number of ice cream it will then open the secret factory 2. You have to open the secret factory first, there's where you can buy them AFTER you completed the blue print of the boss weapons you want.
For the acid rooms (Don't be greedy now), I've been able to activate shield mode and don't take acid damage for a while like activate it before entering the dangerous area, which is generally where the ground glows green. I think it applies it's damage strangely as well, there are brief 'invulnerability' periods where you don't take damage as well.
@@Erimos_ yeah. Try it and experiment. If there is a difficulty setting to the game it is on its default value, but I have definitely noticed a delay with shield active. It's not super long probably about 20 secs if that, but is usually enough to pick up a healing truck and start flying with it so you can use it in a safer location
Further playing with it, but it skips the first application if shield is active upon entry into the room proper. So, you can go through the room entirely while the first shield is active, and possibly pick something up if you are fast enough, then you escape damage. But if you turn on shield while you're in the acid room then you get the damage applied as normal. I think acid damage is percentage based as well. Looks like you can have 5 applications of it (the fourth application is capped to take you to about 10% health I think). The 5th application will kill your mech.
It is also possible to use melee weapons to destroy the laser cannons in order to conserve ammo, I have tested it myself while the cannons are firing to prove if there's any danger and confirmed it is safe to do so (as long as you don't accidentally swing in front of its firing range, but that shouldn't really be a problem since the cannon's hitbox is big).
Here is a tip. Use those double cannon femto lasers with 3x into damage module (ignore femto reduction..its cheap enogh to cast). You can then pretty much wipe out any strai on map, exept the laser resistant one (bring bullet type weapons). Not to mention its mobile and if you know how to aim you can easy keep full change on enemy till you run out of femto (but by that time anything is dead) Even more effective with traps already set. Also, if you get those rooms where you have to exit, just skip them and go araund. There is always a 2 way to final boss room. As for the bomb rooms, just send your clone and let it soak damage. I personaly avoid water + fire rooms and the loot up there is just not worth risking when you are solo. The explosive trucks that you pick up, can be also used as a way to damage 3 bosses by litle. This depends on map spawn. To save ammo, ignore side rooms that go anywhere (unless they have loot) as those mobs are not worth your ammo and time.
This is a rare satisfaction! I never know you can inspect items by pressing F or i just forgot what the manual was told. Hmm... Anyways this a great video
There are these rooms where you have to disembark from your arsenal and Hack a terminal on the other side of the room. What skill or reqirement do you need to do this? I thought i needed the smash skill, but i cannot interact with it, and have lost two runs because the boss room was locked behind it.
@@Erimos_ I clear out the room of enemies, but when I push interact with the console nothing happens. Maybe it's because I set my key to right on the d-pad?
what platform are you on? I am playing on PC, so if you use controller on PC try pressing the F button, if not, well try going to the setting and rebind it to something else, or try the default keybinds, if you can interact with the exploration console, then it should be the same button press
I'm on switch, but i think i figured it out. It seems i have to stay at the console for a little while after interacting with it. I assumed it would just imediatelly open from pressing it. Also i love how you made your hud so im copying it for mine lol.
ah I see, as far as I remember, you don't need to wait there a bit, but then again last time I play it was a long time ago, glad the problem is resolved and thanks, good hunting !
Thanks for the guide. About the big laser cannon, are they really laser cannon or just some big water cannon because to me, lasers aren't blue and doesn't sound like a water splash...
Anyone here actually playing this besides Erimos? Been hopping online here and there and it's been dead, would love to get into the bosses and dungeons to learn even more about everything 😁
In that acid room with 4 strais something weird happens to me, when I check one I can't leave and check the others, it doesn't matter how many times I press esc, it just opens the menu
They're random and a bit rare, but in my experience Hidden Strai is more likely to spawn rather than the Gargoyle. Oh, speaking of loot room, there's also a Cargo Room, there's around 4-5 equipment, all of em free for the taking.
I’m liking the game. But endgame is so like. Say what you wish about Destiny but it had good variety. The exploration is fun, but gets old after a bit. I hope they do an update that adds more room types or something to do with the regular forces. Like a wave fight or something. I love the game and I’m really hoping to see more content. But it’s been out for 3yrs basically. Pretty sure they’ve dropped
Noob combat. Traps yes but your movement is sloooooow. If you do that online or in Armored Core FA you'll get killed instantly. All the tips were good put you need to learn actual fighting movement like the AI is capable of.
Well, yes I'm not very good at fast movement and the last AC game I've played was Last Raven, was a long time ago too, and if I go too fast not only that I'm not used to play that way but the video will be too hectic to see, the point was and still is to give clear information to the viewer- well, at least as clear as I can be. This also not an ACFA, but I've watched some vid of it before, so yea, I can understand when you say I'm being too slow/noob, also thanks for stopping by.
This is incredibly put together, straight to the point! Thank you for this! Do you have any plans to make a build guide in the future? Like what weapons and attachments to use etc
Thanks! also, I'm not sure about build video, because I myself usually only focus on e few things, like; "how much fire rate can I get?", "how can I unload the entire mag and reload it as fast as possible", "how can my mech looks good and does not die instantly". Other than that I focus on PvE aspects, so does my builds, like for Exploration or Bosses. But I might make a Weapon and Armor in-depth look on their stats and what they do.
@@Erimos_ That'd be terrific! I totally get what you mean, a video explaining stats would be equally as helpful :D Take your time with it! Eager to see what you come up with
HOW DO YOU OPEN THE DOORS IN THE EXPLORATION ROOMS? sometimes they are slightly open...i dont know how to open them i was playin mutliplayer and some dude kept opening them...how?
the one that slightly open needs you to disembark from your Arsenal and interact with a console at the end of the room, which will open the door completely

Nicely edited...great video and very informative...THX! :)
Holy shit i actually learned alot Thanks!
I had no ideathose trucks restored health subbed! Just started this game and I'm absolutely loving it
glad this could help
Wish the discord had someone like you to help with the new players back then. This is a great guide!

Thank you for the guidance. I didn't know sword hoping, gargoyles, or that acid rooms give one item. Finally have a reason to carry melee.
Really?? I didn't know you could check the strais before picking one in the acid loot room. I just assumed the first one you press F, then the rest disappears. Thanks, you earned a sub.
i started playing this game,couple weeks ,its awsome,i like your videos

I think it applies it's damage strangely as well, there are brief 'invulnerability' periods where you don't take damage as well.
interesting, so it's like a buffer then?
giving you more time before you got burned by the acid?
@@Erimos_ yeah. Try it and experiment. If there is a difficulty setting to the game it is on its default value, but I have definitely noticed a delay with shield active.

Memories of the White Glint...
Would love to see more guides from you. Maybe Arsenal building or boss fights?
I’ve been loving your videos! Could you make some builds for singleplayer campaign? For example builds to fight some mercenaries
The only thing I ever experience is when I go out as an Outer to open the door. there's a Laser cannon waiting to destroy my Arsenal.
this is why I recommend to park your Arsenal in the corner lol
@@Erimos_ yep. that would be my lesson.
There are these rooms where you have to disembark from your arsenal and Hack a terminal on the other side of the room. What skill or reqirement do you need to do this? I thought i needed the smash skill, but i cannot interact with it, and have lost two runs because the boss room was locked behind it.
embarking and hack does not need augmentation, you just need to disembark and go to the console safely

I'm seeing a lot of lobbies on my end, well a lot move than before it's free on epic at least
there's always a fair bit of lobbies, connecting to them is a pain in the ass tho. or you finish with some randos, then "arsenal on standby pops".
In that acid room with 4 strais something weird happens to me, when I check one I can't leave and check the others, it doesn't matter how many times I press esc, it just opens the menu
huh.. I never encountered that problem? is it one time happenings or reproducible?
the control of that looting menu should be the same.
You should reset the control settings
hello, can you make a video about the bosses weapons and how to get them? because i want to really know how to get all of them
there is a website called orbital database, you can find boss weapon drop there, and even their stats (both boss and the weapon)
@@Erimos_ oh thank you so much i didnt know this existed :D
What is the OST from the chapter of Hidden Loot?
it's Battle Dance (Mission 6)
Time to smack some AIs and get good gear! Great knowledge shared here.
Do the Gargoyle and Hidden Strai rooms spawn every time you play an Exploration Map, or are they random?
They're random and a bit rare, but in my experience Hidden Strai is more likely to spawn rather than the Gargoyle.
Oh, speaking of loot room, there's also a Cargo Room, there's around 4-5 equipment, all of em free for the taking.
Does dxm has any future update?
unlikely, but I heard there's a sequel in the works
I hopped into expeditions without doing the first story mission

Y game no have minigun/gatling gun?
I dunno, I'm not the game dev
though you can mod SMGs or Astraeus II to have similar feel to it
@@Erimos_ ty for the idea.
What are those guns? so powerful
