  • How good are computers, electronics & programming? It's time to find out!
    The base skill of computers is a common 5th skill which can be found on survivors, at random, or taught from a skill book. When maxed out, you may choose between electronics or programming as advanced skills.
    These skills are focused on unlocking granting new active abilities and advanced explosives.
    But is that going to cut it for your community? That is the question.

    It has been a while since I uploaded a guide. These guides were the foundation of the channel in its minimal subscriber days. I will make an effort to upload guides more frequently though it is much more taxing to do. I will just have to learn to suck it up and do it anyways. The channel's growth depends on my tenacity not my excuses.

Thank you so much it was very informative. On a side note, the only CLEO weapon I use is the CLEO Blast Rifle. Every member of my "forever" enclave has this rifle instead of the BFG. It's a long range shotgun that never eats up ammo in the hands of guard duty members. Highly effective for base defense.

    • @GitGudFox
      @GitGudFox  5 лет назад +4

      The hardest part, for me, is probably recording and trimming the audio. Every mistake I have to retake and do it over and over again until I deliver the line correctly. Then, I have to go back through the audio, sentence by sentence, and trim all the gaps between the retakes... but I have to trim them to the millisecond so that it sounds organic. Sometimes longer pauses between sentences for shifts in thought while other times it has to be cut very short to sound like a continuous sentence when in reality it was 2 maybe 3 separate takes trimmed into a single thought.

    • @Svengar
      @Svengar 5 лет назад +2

      I hadn’t even thought of that aspect. To be honest they needed somebody like you at UL when they were preparing that intro scene where the gaps between sentences is very long and makes the whole intro seem like a bunch of bad acting even though there actually was nothing wrong with the voice acting

    How about drone strikes on enemy enclaves?

    • @patldennis
      @patldennis 4 года назад +5

      Sounds dangerous since throwing the smoke next to a structure so that it is simultaneously close enough for the strike to damage whatever is directly on the other side of the wall as well as being visible to the drone (too close to the wall and it's obscured by roof overhangs). This works for plague hearts since they are immobile but ppl move around

    On nightmare zone, remote box mines are my choice for taking out plague hearts. 3 of those followed by a pipe bomb or 2 will kill any heart. Best part is they are much cheaper than c4. Great video by the way.

  • @JackRabbittm
    @JackRabbittm 3 года назад

    I have found that you can set up more than one block of c4 next to each other to blow up a plague heart in one go. However in nightmare and lethal, it does take a few blocks. For me it took about 6-8 on nightmare and lethal zones.

    I use C4 in nightmare. If you put 2on top of each other it doesn't work but if you put 2 C4 but 1 on each side of the plague heart at the same time it destroys it in 1 detonation. I've found its the best way. You can sneak in with or without scentblock and do it as long as you place 1 C4 on each side of the heart.

    • @GitGudFox
      @GitGudFox  5 лет назад

      In addition to this, there have been many players claiming the same throughout the Nightmare Zone series that they often require 3-5 C4 charges to destroy a heart, and that it never works in combined explosions regardless of positioning.

    • @GitGudFox
      @GitGudFox  5 лет назад

      To clarify, I am not saying that people have not been able to do this successfully. What I am saying is that I haven't been able to replicate the results, and others have had the same experience.
      As a result, I will not advise people to use a strategy that cannot be reliably replicated and is likely subject to the janky bugginess of the game.

    Idk if it was changed since this was made, but you can definitely drop 2 c4 and blow them both up at once. I was clearing hearts doing that earlier for the kill hearts with explosives bounty.
    It is a bit expensive, but at the point in standard zone where you're looking to clear hearts and end the game the cost doesn't really matter. I find it mostly comes down to your stock of Circuitry. Parts and chems seem to become incredibly trivial late game.

    Other then fixing the mass cluster that walled off my base that is what I used the drone for. Poping hearts. Any time I see one close to a wall or even better outside I throw it down back off and let the drone bust it. Don't have to worry about getting plagued or set on fire because an ally npc in another settlement desided the best way to kill one is to throw a molotov setting us on fire but missing the heart.

    Hey! This, as usual, was very thorough & informative. IMO the strike "grenades" should draw ALL zombies to it. Maybe, not in nightmare, to stay consistent with the "rules" of nightmare. The 1 & only time I tried a strike grenade, was an artillery strike, which has nothing to do with this video, since it's an outpost. But, every single undead around me, followed me, as I tried to run away from the strike area. So, based on that, I didn't think a drone strike could possibly be any better than the artillery strike. Cool, I was correct, for once LOL

    I prefer C4 over grenades, some plague hearts are in odd positions making you risk self damage and injuries if you use grenades. As for C4 bust in and place down two packs then get out of the blast radius and pop it. Most of the time the heart dies instantly as long as you didn't stack the C4. If it survives bust in again and go full auto on it.

    • @GitGudFox
      @GitGudFox  4 года назад +1

      It never works for me. I had an episode where I surrounded a heart with 6 C4s surrounding it, and it survived them. DevGru Infiltrator and Pyrolauncher are a lot more reliable and don't require a 5th skill.

    With c4, if you can place 2 c4 charges on opposite sides of the plague heart you an place both and it will kill it with 1 detonation. Placement is key. Al lot of times the plague heart is in the corner of a room so proper placement isn't possible. But again has to be directly opposite so you're making a plague heart sandwich. At least it works on Standard zone no idea on nightmare.

    I found the drone strike to not be worth it. Between the time it takes to receive the flare to call it in and the cool down between uses you could have taken care of whatever problem you were faced with in another way.

    • @GitGudFox
      @GitGudFox  5 лет назад +1

      I think that is underestimating its value. With the strike, you have the convenience of destroying a plague heart, on a whim. You could discover a plague heart in your exploration and immediately remove it without any need for preparation. It's also extremely efficient in terms of resources as the investment cost is immediately recovered on kill + profit.

    • @niahcyan5

      You just activate the ability, and the flare is given to you. The ability recharges every 25 minutes.

Unless I'm missing something, there is only 1 quirk skill that gets its, and its hacking, which is only available to Red Talon Contractors. Hugely disappointing, as hacking is knowledge of computers and programming and +1 outpost limit, which I guess is better because your getting another outpost on top of the upgraded outpost, but still disappointing, as it would be cool if there was a quirk that gave like knowledge of computers and some other knowledge or parts salary or something.

      Bloater gas is flammable. It explodes when ignited. The bloater gas grenades are concentrated bloater gas, and it produces an even large blast when ignited.
