*This is a safe haven for gamers who value game mechanics and systems, because that’s what makes anything from 8-bit to 8k, equally enjoyable.*
*Thanks for taking out some time to watch my stuff! I appreciate that!* - Alex
REALLY enjoying my time with The Outer Worlds! I like how there are almost zero superfluous elements in the game, which makes it feel very tightly crafted and well focus tested. It’s also just plain fun to kill stuff and explore, which just so happen to be some of my favorite things to do in RPGS!
This was a great video, man. I started on hard, thinking I was tough, and it's been putting me through the ringer a bit. But I'd forgot about limb targeting altogether 😑
How do you tag an enemy / place multiple hits before firing while in TTD... as in, how do you tag Multiple hits before firing? I see you doing this a few times in this video. I can’t figure out how to tag / place Multiple hits. I can only fire one shot at a time while in TTD. Thank you! -looking a bit more closely, I don’t think you can do this... (such as red eye from red dead redemption)... the tag noise I heard was actually an enemy shooting while in TTD. Any advice here would be helpful!
Brian P If you hover over the body part, it shows the effect. I do not think they are actually shooting when they are high lighting the spots.
Stuart Bagley thanks Stuart! I think you are right... the sound of the enemy shooting in TTD sounded like the tag sounds from Red dead Redemption!
Can heavy ammo damage stack with shock damage or any other damege types?
Sorry for the bad english.

It's not the best choice, It's Spacer's Choice! :-)
And where can you find their spectacular food? At Spacey's. It's good food... in space!
Enemy weak points, Shoot the blue on a robots chest, belly or legs to do large bonus damage.
Damn... I was using TTD all wrong. This is a game changer tip
Same here.
Haha. Same here. I've been using the inhaler like a 300 lb kid running a marathon. I didn't really know targeting limbs made such a difference. My first instinct is to aim for the head because of shooters like CoD. This is def a game changer.
Me too not the movement
Same
Fubar 7403 Lol. We’ve all had to unlearn our “Go for the head” FPS training. First time playing after watching the video was almost like a new game.
Without a doubt the most insightful vid I've seen, and I've watched a few. It's given me a whole new perspective on the game
Wow thanks!
I second this comment ^_^
Carry 3 "plasma rifle family" weapons (rifle, carbine, etc).
Modify one to shock and another to corrosion.
Sell all ammo but energy to buy more energy.
Fully charge all shots for maximum ownage.
I don't recall seeing any of your other vids but I enjoyed your minimalistic and matter-of-factly style that was relatively dense with information. This is a strong contrast to the zany and flamboyant RUclips persona.
The damage type mnemonics were excellent. The funny thing about mnemonics is that if they are silly but particular they are easier to remember.
Rarely does a single video make me consider subscribing, but yours did.
Agreed. I find it tiring have to listen to "Heyyyyyy doooods, how you do-de-do-de-doooooing, duuuudes!" 😣
Same here man great content
Also shot the blue bits on machines for extra damage on them.
Yeah I guessed that from borderlands haha
Bought this a few days ago and wasn't long in before bought the dlc too. Its a fantastic game and delighted to find out the dlc will slot into it perfectly on my first playthrough. Also started my first playthrough on Supernova which I absolutely don't regret. Totally immersed, and a worthy successor to FO:NV
Here is a Tipp i discovered accidently:
Just use SAM and another Companion of your choice. go for the Companion Skills and perks and let them do all the work... i play on Hard and i nearly never need to fire a single bullet and still the enemies go down in seconds. specially SAM is a beast in the fights. He is super tanky and has high damage. And the best thing is, that you dont need to equip him with the best and highest Weapons and Armor because he is coming with his own set of cleaning tools :P
agree- using SAM with Nyoka on Monarch is great vs raptidons and (assuming Nyoka gets a corrosive weapon) mantisaurs
Additional tip: SAM is arguably the most broken companion in the game. You never need to equip him as he scales with levels and does exclusively Corrosive damage which has no weakness.
Also if you're going to do a melee build N-Ray damage is super powerful for you specifically because it gives you a handy way to deal area damage when you go HAM on packs of enemies. But N-Ray will also be the bane of your existence since melee builds rely heavily on having the highest armor possible.
1. Do all the quest.
2. Be overleveled.
3. Use tinkering skill on everything.
4. Get overleveled gear.
3. ???
4. Profit
You're gonna need that profit to continually improve your gear as tinkering gets expensive really fast.
@@Lord_Phoenix95 Respec to Science then back every 10 lvls.
They should really get an oscar or something for how much stuff they made better in such simple ways...You can really feel the love they put into the game.
Finally game review truly explain the game. You deserve more attention.
Thanks!
I can use my inhaler equally as effective in TTD as I would outside of TTD?! I wish I knew this before dying 5 times in a row.
I dont use it like this as it fells like cheating.
@@Bullminator You mean like every consumable in every RPG?
@@TheTraveler980 indeed
And meat! I never thought of putting meat in my inhaler. I always sell it.
having science affect even elemental damage mods on regular weapons (not just science weapons and plasma rifles), and having it at 100% be the only way to level some weapons to 35 by the end of the game really makes it a must-get stat. almost to the point of limiting build diversity.
Companions in Supernova difficulty are paper-thin bullet magnets that will constantly yolo into packs of enemies and get themselves killed unless you babysit them; which, since you can't revive them until the perk at Level 22, means you'll be save scumming A LOT... Or going Lone Wolf.
The key there is to change their AI to far and passive. This keeps them from rushing in and dying until you can get the perks to make them gods or just keep them that way and make yourself the tanky god.
@@O-D-X I think it's better to just send them back to the ship and lone wolf it once you leave town. Setting them to Passive like that just turns the game into an endless escort quest, which isn't my idea of a good time. :)
I just finished my first playthrough of a near 40 hour campaign.
My build was initially split between all of the speech and long/short guns, with a lot of random crap sprinkled in.
then I respec’d into Persuasion, Handguns, and TTD.
It felt a lot better once I figured out what I wanted to focus on.
I also respec’d Victor Max into being a melee tank, Pavarti into just helping me with repairs, and Ellie into ranged support.
I want to try a solo gun slinger next play through.
Spec into charisma-like areas and it won't matter how good you are at combat.
Why is that? Companions carry the game?
@@LynxStarAuto Not carry, but they hit harder, last longer, and you can get everything at the store on a heavy discount so they're carrying some crazy gear too. Charisma is always my favorite type of play in solid RPG's and this one rewards it well. (it rewards all styles though too)
Dialog with charisma = CC and OP companions.
4:16”if it looks like a robot makes bleeps and bloops” 😂😂
That was a superb video, like the game itself you trimmed the fat and focused on important bits ;)
I have a tip for you that might be useful.
Sprinting cancels reload so if you do that at the moment your ammo counter goes up you can increase your DPS with any ranged weapon.
Sprinting ALSO cancels the animation for weapon swings and blocking... so if you find a good timing for it you can swing much faster than you would be able to normally, or you can do it at the end of your light combo to restart the combo immediately.
P.S. Might not work without upgrading Dex at the beginning.
That healing tip was amazing!
First, thanks for this video - it taught me a couple things about TTD that I didn't realize and helped me to utilize it far better.
Second, thanks for making a very terse, nicely compacted video that doesn't drag out and use too many words. Well done!
Third - you and I are in total agreement on this game... Glad to see someone else with the same perspective, especially about the trimming-the-fat aspect.
Good work.
Loving this game. I hope it gets some expansions!
Very much so!
Me too. My imagination is running wild, thinking about all The possibilities. They've built a great universe with exceptional lore
The dev's already said they would love to do more of this game, since they have books and books worth of lore and material for it. Very hopeful.
Based on the review scores and the amount of people raving about it, I think we can safely say this won't be the only game we will see from this universe. DLC? Maybe. But I would much rather they started working on The Outer Worlds 2. As long as they don't do what the Fallout games did and get worse and worse. But, Obsidian has a good record when it comes to making games. It's safe to say they won't disappoint.
@@Fubared7403 I want them to start on the 2nd one as well, but now they have Microsoft financially backing them. If they made a small team to work on an expansion, I'd gladly give them my money.
Great video and tips. Didnt even know, that u can heal in TTD and that its mainly for applying debuffs.
I know I'm late to buying this game and wanted some tips and after checking vids all day and getting a little confused about the mechanics, this was absolutely the best video I watched that completely broke everything down for a fun but informative game play.. Thank You so much for this.
I'm currently on my 2nd playthrough (hard mode) and am going for platinum. I've found myself at an impasse recently and your video taught me a lot that I didn't know. Clearly, i'm not using TTD effectively enough.
Thank you for making this. I know it will help me get passed this current roadblock.
Loving this game so far and thanks for the tips, I've gone lone wolf but after watching this I may have to respec as the companions do look much better than usual
I also tend to avoid AI companions in these western rpgs, if it's an option. But I do like how these characters seem to interact with the world a lot more than, say, Skyrim's did.
Wow, actually useful tips.
Those are some good tips. Not specific to a specific playstyle and not too obvious. Nicely done!
tyty
I found Corrosive to be an all-rounder damage type, since it overcomes armor, which can be found on just about any enemy to some degree. Been carrying all damage types on me throughout the game, but eventually came to this conclusion.
I would get the flaws from facing too many monsters... like the dogs and the primals on the first planet that you're on, as far as I know, you won't face them again off the plant. I could be wrong, but still useful to do as you won't face them too often.
Canids are pretty common everywhere... primals arent, i took that flaw and the drug addict one
Boomstick, the TTD info all by itself was worth watching. Great video!
certainly the best video guide i've ever seen until now! thumbs up!
ty ty
Great video for explaining the combat system.
Outer Worlds is PHENOMENAL! I really love the Ui in particular and think it's perfect except for 1 thing. I wish I could magnify it to increase the size cuz I sit 8 feet from my tv and I cant read it!! There is a ton of space left on screen so y'know please add that feature to increase scale of Ui please. Everything else is great and I love the detail and rewarding exploration. Also the rpg elements are just right! The world is gorgeous and unique and man it looks pc quality on my base ps4! I am not a fan of Fallout games so I felt this would either be a big hit or a big miss for me and im happy to say it's a big hit for sure. Oh and I absolutely love the subtle humors. It has some Borderlands 2 vibes in that way which is fantastic. 9.5/10 Fps rpg!
Yes! It is very good!
If you haven't heard yet there's a patch coming shortly that's supposed to increase font size...
I'm trying to go melee only and the TTD tips opened my eyes
Too bad TTD favors guns more than melee.
best guide i have seen... thanks
welcome!
that was surprisingly helpful. its always cool to find a video like this when figuring out the in's and out's of r.p.g's like this.
Nice video!
I really like your "no bullshit" style and great presentation as well.
Dude! your aiming is INSANE! Awesome tips too.
Thanks buddy the tips on ammo tips helped me.
Fantastic video very informative. I’m on my second plAy through. These tips will really make things much better👍🏽👍🏽
Love the game, first time ever seeing you pop on my feeds. Great tips in the video, I'll use some of them I should heal during TTD more
Guns blazing here. Your tactical breakdown made me feel like my first day at boot camp.
Another useful tip: Pick up EVERYTHING. Even if you know 110% that you won't need that bottle of sugar bs or your 11th bag of cystic pig chips, pick it up. Open you inventory and mark the item as junk via "Z" key. There are literally vendors EVERYWHERE. Sell them on a regular basis (holding "Z" key pressed) and money will never be an issue. Actual playthrough: Level 31 and ~70k in the bank although I invested in tinkering.
And switch to level 2, respectively level 3 weapons asap, the level on these items is far higher than their level 1 counterparts making tinkering far cheaper.
I had to take off my plasma mod because I was losing too many looting bodies because the pile of ash was in grass somewhere.
Crouching in tall grass let's you search through it easier, hope this helps.
there's both a perk and an armor mod to highlight stuff you can interact with
Very much so thanks man!
Great video finally doing my playthrough
Dude thanks, the first tip alone helps me a lot, No Idea i could criple like the vat system, thanks!
THE BEST use I have found for the Companion Super Attack from Teamwork...is to attack the Tankier and/or DPS enemies FIRST!
It gives you a HUGE leg up in combat, to quckly DPS the most dangerous targets MUCH easier!
wow, u actually explained this very well! good tips! thank you! I'm not an advanced player but i can understand what ur saying...
This should help a lot thanks for the pro tips
Thank you for the tips
Very helpful and informative video, thanks so much man!
Great video, thanks!
I fully understand that I'm late to the party here, but you did a fantastic job with this video. The transitions, the background music, the layout, the to the point iteration... it all was exactly what I wish ask my tip videos were like that I watch. You covered many questions I had, and this is my second play through. I fully understand I can play this game with more than just the assault rifle
Perfect, basic, informative. Thanks for the ideo
Thank you, you are the only reviewer who has clearly explained the combat mechanics. I really like New Vegas combat, it was a first person game but not a FPS, so the VATS system was excellent for the style. I wanted to purchase Other World because it was made by the same studio, but I didn't want just another FPS, I have many, but neither review mentions the TTD system with enough depth and clarity to understand what it is.
Thank you. I purchased the game a minute ago.
Very helpful ! I was completely missing the point of TTD...
This is a really helpful guide! Nice work.
Great video, much appreciated 😊
I went the whole game with barely using TTD , didnt know how useful it could be....thank you
A helpful guide! Thanks mate!
Great tips, really like how how you explain everything and try to simplify it so it’s easy to remember. You just got a new sub 👍
Awesome thanks!
*Boomstick Gaming* Thank you for video, it was bloody _awesome!_ 😀
Welcome!
Awesome vid!! Helps a lot!! 😎👍🏽
This REALLY helped!
For those interested, here's a bit more info on damage types and flaws based on my experience: Most flaws aren't worth getting - not because of their debuffs, but rather because a large chunk of the perks aren't really worth the debuffs. However, the drug and food addiction flaws can be taken with very little interruption to your normal gameplay. If you have a companion-based build, flaws that increase the damage you take are fine too. I'd avoid taking any flaws associated with enemies though, especially the robots one. I'd also not recommend taking the heights/fall damage flaw as it requires very little to trigger it.
As for damage types, assuming the codex is correct, corrosion and shock are the best types overall. That's because they carry no weaknesses and are boosted by the science skill. While corrosion only sees a flat 25% boost to damage, it's more effective against the most-resistant enemies. Although you will see higher numbers with shock damage. Hope that helps!
it helped alot thaNk you
Thanks for the tips. Didn't realise TTD was like VATS. Going to have to use my brain for this game rather than just shoot wildly.
Have fun!
Wow first tip and its already 500% better than all these "I WISH I KNEW XX THINGS" videos
cool!
I love your videos! Nice place for us that value mechanics
Awesome thanks!
The inhaler doesn't take away TTD time?!?! WTF?!?! WHAT AN AWESOME TIP!
very helpful thank you !
Just got the game. Very useful!
Hey, I recently heard about you from a different video in which IGN copied you. I just searched ‘Outerworlds damage types’ and serendipitously found your video. I just wanted to let you know that your explanations of the damage types by giving examples are great. I have nonverbal learning disability, which makes retaining verbal information really hard, since most things will go in one ear and out the other (things like directions while driving for example). You manage to deal with it and it starts to phase out once you reach adulthood, so I don’t think I’d have too much trouble remembering the damage types. But for your younger audience, some of them might have the same disability, and the way that you described things like ‘bleep bloop blue’ is exactly the type of thing that would help somebody that struggles with information retention.
Great guide. :~}
Always glad to help out as many gamers as I possibly can!
thanks man
Ttd is by far superior and more interesting than regular VATS because of the freedom it allows without being gamebreaking
I had already taken the flaw afraid of mechano's before running into SAM.... the AAGGGHHHHHH! Dialogue option
This was more helpful than most of the others. Thanks.
Cheers mate
First video about OW that I found usefull. Thank you.
Welcome!
This definitely makes combat seem more interesting.
It only seems that way because none of this really matters. You can go in guns blazing almost all of the time and still come out victorious.
@@TheOldMan-75 what difficulty you on? Most of the game has been a breeze, but their were a few enemies/areas that gaveme trouble and i had to retry, or use different tactics
@@nonameguy96 I was playing on hard throughout the game. Didn't bother with supernova because I'm not a fan of survival mechanics and limited saving ability. Sure, I got killed every now and then but that was usually when I was running around with low level guns because I hadn't changed it for a while and was barely able to damage a bigger enemy (usually those mantiqueen thingies or whatever they are called). I finished the game with almost 300 of those healing items left because those are EVERYWHERE and I hardly ever used them. It's really not "hard" as the difficulty settings suggests.
Great vid I also thought I was doing pukka but I don't use ttd the for explaining it it'll bring a whole new dimension on how I fight now pinging off legs and arms nice
this video was great the TTD tip is the best man thanks
Welcome!
This helped me I’m starting the game right thanx to u way to go
Have fun!
Thanks is for the info. Also great editing, very star wars with the wipes
Since you will have enough damage on your character real fast, the best damage types in my opinion are ballistic/ plasma (with ballistic being the more general against everything but plsma being more buffable [helm and science skill] type) and corrosive. You dont really have to use the other types since up to date gear and decent stats (like lvl 60 is enough) lets you murder everything.
Great video! Subbed and on the notification squad! Keep up the good work!
Great tips
Had no idea you could put other consumables in the inhaler, I've been eating them from the menu
The inhaler is easily my favorite healing method of any game. You can make any drug cocktail you want and unlocking an extra slot or two makes it even more versatile and fun to use. I wanna meet whoever pitched that first.
Ryan Sansaricq agreed, loving it too. I do wish there were more compounds/effects to put in it and more reliable ways to get them (something approaching an alchemy system). But really happy with it even as-is.
Yeah it feels weird not having to do the the normal way lmao
New sub
Thanks for the tips didn’t realize alot of these options
Thanks for the sub!
Super useful !!! THX !!!
Have fun!
This is a really informative video, thanks for making it. You mentioned the downside of physical against armour and n-ray against inorganic, and I've heard that plasma is weak against mantisaurs. If we use physical as a baseline, do shock and corrosive have weaknesses or is it just the case that they'll be less effective against certain enemies than the correct damage type, eg plasma will be better against flesh, shock better against robots?
Obsidian needs to patch the game to allow the player to see what armor is on what companion! This would help greatly when upgrading and modding gear!
Great video!
Such a fantastic game.
Really useful thanks+
Hurt your leg by falling to gain a leg up on perks
