A cool little-known-fact about the difficulty system in deadlocked. New game Hero is significantly more difficult than Exterminator, due to the fact that enemies on exterminator deal a flat percentage of your health no matter the nanotech, but enemies on Hero deal flat damage + a lower percentage on your health. An example of this being that Exterminator enemies always deal about 1/5th of your health in damage, whereas enemies can take 70% of your HP away in one hit in new game Hero.
12:25 If I had to hazard a guess, there's a few frames while the game's swapping your weapon out where your other commands are unlocked, so doing the input there is enough to trigger a swing, but everything's locked again by the time the first swing is done. So not helpful, but a possible explanation. I love these challenges, cheese and all. Great work!
looks like it, since it happened just as the weapon was switching. I wonder if you could quick change into an "illegal" weapon and fire it once in that timeframe. like having the Harbinger as last weapon before starting the mission, and quick switching to it before vulcan cannon gets switched.
I love how there's apparently gonna be some Rock Paper Scissors going on in the Patron list for the next episode, on top of all the amazing of the episode itself... Also, I always enjoy hearing "Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal" every episode of VG Myths I catch.
I’m always hype af when these things drop. The wrench only videos are some of my faves just because just like sly cooper and ape escape the game is just riddled with exploits
"Ratchet: Dies" Mission Complete Well, there is a reason it's called Ratchet & Clank, well now the next game is gonna be called Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
My eyes always light up when I see a new VG myths go up. Your commentary is so wonderfully colorful and your humor is amazing. Thank you for doing what you do.
“That said, prioritize the hedgehogs, otherwise, you’re going to die, that said, prioritize the zombies, otherwise, you’re going to run out of time, that said, your Swiss cheese, and DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM!?!?!
Oh man, what a blast from the past! I had completely forgotten about Merc and Green over the years that passed since I played this game, but the frame they showed up on screen it was just like, "My buddies!" I loved these two. My favorite AI teammates in gaming.
I was legit just like "damn, gamechamp hasnt uploaded in a bit, wonder when is their new video coming out" and a minute or so later, this video comes round
I'm curious if you'll continue these into the rest of the franchise. Watching you discover/invent new ways to get into melee range of things, ways to avoid things, or just plain cheesing a tricky challenge is always a treat.
So glad you’re still doing these! My brother and I were inspired by you to do a weaponless run of Cadence of Hyrule, and I could not recommend it more! Thanks for all you’ve given us

This game was the first one I ever owned and dang was it awesome ! I spent countless hours on it and remembered every dialogue due to their humor. You made me want to play it once again !
Ok, have an idea for VG Myths, can you beat SWJ:FO without a lightsaber on the hardest difficulty? I did this for a few days, with some friends emotional support, and completed it, thought it was hell, and we love VG Myths, so why not?
12:20 the glitch here seems to the result of switching round/weapons. after the last enemy is killed, the game switches your weapon to another one, as an result of clearing the round. the result is that you have a brief moment in this transition period where you can access your complete arsenal, but this isn't a viable strategy, since it's in between rounds, and only when you switch weapons, meaning you have literally only one strike every time you switch weapons. if you could forcefully make your weapons switch, this would be a viable strat, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
Ah I love this game, all the nostalgia comes flowing back seeing this game, I know for sure I would have never been ballsy enough to even attempt this challenge, but it's really interesting to see it only fails 4 times, I thought it'd be way worse
this one is like knives out where we know who dun it in the first scene and still ends up being a hilarious and enjoyable (maybe not to you; 15 hours?!) experience haha love your content
How does gamechamp say some of these patreon names without busting out laughing? I swear, they actually made me stick around until the end of the episode to see all of them. I'm very invested in the game of rock paper scissors now
Ah, I remember playing the shit out of Deadlocked when I was younger. Was the only game I owned with split screen co-op, so it was the default choice when a friend was over.
I was this day years old when I found out this game wasn't called Ratchet Gladiator everywhere Any fellow Europeans or perhaps Australians in the same boat?
This game was my childhood, it was first game I played on the ps2. Had like 700 hours in this game since I could not afford any other. It made playing first 2 games more fun when I got it later

GameChamp3000: selects exterminator difficulty Her/Their reasoning: I CRAVE PAIN Edit: Fixed the pronouns. Thank you LunaTheLuma for picking up on my mistake!
Yaaaay I'm not the only one who's fave Ratchet and Clank game is Deadlocked! This was a LOT of fun to watch, thanks for this! Man I had no idea how weirdly glitchy this game is lol. Like why in that ONE spot does Hyper Jump glitch suddenly not work? Wild. Such a great game though.
Lmao this one of my favourite singe player games/game series of all time. Fun fact: A lot of Old School RuneScape's bosses are also a completely different monster on each phase just like Shellshock's and for some bosses, they're actually just game objects with an invisible NPC in the same position.
This was my favorite in the series. I actually like the story of this one better than the first two, with the kidnapped heroes turning evil out of necessity being an interesting idea. Edit: I never even found out what the Ravager did in my playthrough. Waiting for it to charge was never as good as just killing everything, even on Exterminator mode.
It's also accurate. Deadlocked is controversial in a sense that it's seen as "spinoff" or otherwise not the part of the original trilogy by fans. It is however the most successful R&C game to capture the true purpose of the series. It's the best representative of the group that doesn't want to admit it belongs in it.
@@michaeldunlap1032 Probably because of the entire plot of the game, it feels like filler that doesnt contribute anything to the main plotline of the original trilogy.
You got me excited for a sec i thought the title was saying deadlock remake or something and thats one of my favorite games Edit: forgot to mention great video a ridiculous amount of work went into this thank you
