Nice thing about hornet nest; more times than not it doesn't matter if the target is behind something. A well placed shot at the floor next to the target is more enough to kill or seriously injure someone. And isn't there a Starfield skill that works similar to Fallout 4's penetrator skill?

Thank you so much for keeping up the great work. Seems like the swarm of crappy content creators trying to capitalize on Starfield's initial popularity has finally simmered down. Probably because Starfield's popularity has also greatly diminished. But a lot of us still love it, so it's great that good content creators are still pumping out the best vids. You've convinced me to go with a dual Razorback build from now on. I've basically done this already, but still keep a Hard Target around for sniping super far away. But I rarely use it, so I may just hang it up. I have one Razorback that is setup for single shot max damage for sneak sniping (1000+ damage per sneak hit), then another Razorback with the extended ammo effect for handling cq combat. I didn't realize binary trigger was so OP, so I'll be adding that to my CQ Razorback. Thanks again!

Made a huge mistake not creating a save before trying to do some custom ship building where I bought and sold a bunch of different parts and wasted million creds so I decided to just finish the main story line and I was a little bit bummed out about losing all my progress, including my ships and bases. Guess I should have checked more forums and let myself be spoiled so I could have rushed the main story a couple of times then went and did a ton of missions and side quests.

Some more advice about maxing weapon modding skill- 1) Choose Professor background. It comes with 3 of the 4 skill points to unlock weapon modding skill. 2) Do everything related to mod and research challenges at the same time. When you mod a weapon for challenge both research and wrapon mod will get a point. 3) Master weapon modding the moment you are able to meaning after you reach the lodge. The game is not bound by character levels like Fallout 4. You can master weapon modding(and research skill) by about character level 11-12 with professor background and about 13-15 without that background and not putting skill points into other skills.

@jdorrbremme 8 ай бұрын

These are some good tips! I didn't know you could get Master skills so early in the game. I'll keep this in mind for when I make a new character. The only thing I'd add is on your #2 here. The Weapon Modding skill challenge will progress with ANY mod applied. The Research skill challenge will only progress with UNIQUE mods applied, so you'd have to keep switching it up. I definitely agree with the main point, though. I've waited until level 45 to start with all these Science skills so I could have lots of resources in my infinite Lodge stash. Maybe I was just getting lucky getting decent mod combos on weapons in the wild, so it fit my playstyle without having to spend the skill points.

@chadharger9323 8 ай бұрын

@@jdorrbremme The problem with research challenges is the word 'unique' isn't enough to describe how the challenge actually works. When doing weapon mod challenge we can take a weapon and swith between long/short barrels and each time it counts as a point. Research on the other hand only counts that as one point no matter how many times we switch the barrel on the same gun. We'd have to mod other parts of the weapon for it to count toward research challenge. By the time I reached mastery completion, I had five or six points to get for research even though I got full mastery for weapon modding. Thankfully I realized this sooner and did a whole lot of weapon looting.

bro ive missed you, i think i might have been playing less in your absence, but youre gonna get me back to playing again, thats for sure. *Edit. I haven’t finished yet but saw you included grips and stocks in the same section. I thought for sure you would test or mention testing the difference between stabilizing and regular stocks, as it says “while standing still” so I usually try to build 2 guns one with regular good stock and one with the stabilizing one and try standing still versus moving and see if the “accurate” shots change or if the range reaches out longer. Hope you mention it **edit again. It looks like you did mention it, and you said it kinda works on the hard target. I’m not sure how to extrapolate that data towards other things tho but thanks touching it

@melastname6548 8 ай бұрын

I haven't finished the game yet but I already regret investing so much time into weapon/spacesuit skills. when I replay it, ill put more into quality of life skills that seem useless but are time savers. im at 57 I think, & ive only got the first melee skill that came with a stealth build. you start to find better and better weapons pretty quickly, so there's no need to invest in these two skills. they need to have a mod where it removes half the ammo available, or survivor mode where meds do little or are more rare. unless its something really unique ive stopped picking up stuff because its became boring and abundant. and outside of hornets nest, I can't tell much of a difference in the heat of the moment of rarity attributes, or level damage. I think the game gives you too much too soon. weirdly, I hated starting 76 because it was so difficult with very little. but it did force you to invest/hold on to a particular weapon or armor longer.

7:48 - I wound up with an EM Equinox at the start of the Terrormorph attack on New Atlantis. I much prefer it to the Novablast. Used it to get effect a couple of times after the mission. Used it to stun the boss at the end of the part of Andreja's mission that took me to Eren's camp. Doing so allowed me to take a breather, which I very much needed.

Well, I found one use for Ignition Beams on energy weapons. I put the mod on the Orion I gave Sarah so I can tell which alien she is shooting at, so I can deal enough damage to get XP from it before it dies. Penetrator Rounds I use on the Hard Target, especially when hunting bulky aliens. Choke and Flechette has been standard on shotguns, too much fun, and useful to boot.

@reffk5306 7 ай бұрын

actually the small magazine option is good for stealth class as the number of weights on your item affect sneak capabilities. the heavier you are, the more enemy can detect you. theres a console command of 'fSneakEquippedWeightBase', the name itself is self-explanatory. realistically, having large amount of ammo with small mag (for stealth guns) is better than having large mag with small amount of ammo. this is because the ammo has no weight in this game. also, stealth player would rather switch weapon (after being detected) or move from their current position after stealth kill to systemically killing the enemies one by one, so the small mag wouldnt be a problem.

@reffk5306 7 ай бұрын

the recon laser sight have greater accuracy AND marks enemies. the marked enemies didnt actually provide greater accuracy. the marking is good for stealth players (i noticed your handbook are lacking knowledge for stealth playstyle) because the marking also works for enemies behind cover and walls. while it just limited to the aimed mode (unlike the sense star stuff powers which affected around you), it works best with rifles trying to sneak headshot from far away. sometimes in the dark areas the enemy is too far that your headlight doesnt reach, so the mark helps to see your target better.

Re. the reload speed being the same; are you accounting for the bug that happens when you have Throwables equipped? I see you have grenades equipped; it means that all reload speed modifiers are (erroneously of course) applied to the throwables and NOT your main weapon as you would expect. This is true for both the perk/skill and might also apply to stuff like Tactical versus Normal grip.

I was running an advanced maelstrom semi auto for a long time, together with a decked out advanced lawgiver. AP for the maelstrom, DUP for the lawgiver. Been switching to 11mm full auto rifles (definitely the way to go with AA-99, IMO) and a hard target recently, though. But it took forever for an advanced HT to actually drop, even just a regular quality one, and I just couldn't be bothered with less than advanced tier. What's the point of legendary traits when the base weapon they're on is basically a broomstick that makes gun noises? Tried a full auto explosive ammo bullet hose for a while, but it just wasn't doing it for me, but then my character didn't have armor penetration or demolitions skills.

Can't wait for the Mod tools to be available, so maybe someone can give a redux to most of these modifications an actual reason to use, that and I want Nyan cat skins for the mining laser and other large weapons.

I really thought that you could make a legendary rattler look like the deadeye that you get from freestar rangers quest or make a legendary lawgiver look like the justifier, peacemaker, or head ranger uniques.

Has anyone crossed referenced this information with the weapon value increase of the mod? When I'm not sure which mod to add, I choose the mod with the largest increase in weapon value. I wonder which cases are the exception.

@jdorrbremme 8 ай бұрын

I do this too and wonder the same thing. After watching this video, I think the answer is "Bethesda made those values, and they made these weak-@$$ weapon mods. Do they really know what's valuable and what isn't in this game?" Let me know what you think.

I'd be so mad if I paid money for that cutter skin lol. It's so gross? The equinox looks pretty cool though

Regarding Shotgun mods: I've noticed that a choke + slug combo appears to increase the accuracy/range on the weapon's tooltip, and I FEEL like it actually is improved...but I'm not actually sure if it's a real increase or if I'm imagining it. Can you offer any insight?

Great videos man. It’s too bad about the skins. It’s pretty lame how the big game companies treat us now. I wonder if they’ll ever give us free skins.

23:20 Doesn't the "Old Earth Hunting Rifle" also have the 6x Scope? It feels like it does, although it doesn't list it in the Mods.

@XoRandomGuyoX 8 ай бұрын

Might you be thinking about the Suppressor? That isn't listed as a mod option, in fact the rifle only has 3 mod slots, but it is definitely present while having a full 100 meters effective range. You get a decent legendary version from Akila called the Despondent Assassin that wrecks human enemies until you get the Advanced(or 'secretly Superior but still listed as Advanced') version.

Maybe I'm going crazy or I am placebo'ed outta the wazoo, I remember in Fallout 4 having a short barrel makes close range hip fire really good (on a combat rifle for me). I don't feel that in Starfield with my Beowulf and I just went back to a long barrel. :shrug:

I think ADS speed might be your walking speed while aiming down sights? Kinda pointless regardless.

@primusofcatarina4910 8 ай бұрын

I think you might be right. Different weapons definitely have different walking speeds while aiming. That would actually not be completely useless since it doesn't drain stamina while over encumbered. It might be useful to have a lightweight backup weapon just for that. I'm going to have to do some testing to see if it's worth it.

I think the crafting is another failed attempt at a system like this. You don't naturally level up your skill, you just find the lowest resource mod and repeat that 30 times to skill up. 5 skill points is also far too much to complete the skill. I feel like bethesda could have done away with at least half their skill tree and it would have been better for it.

Or let the player salvage crap weapons and gear to collect effects as well as resources and let us CRAFT our own gear and "enchant" them ourselves.

There's no reason a suppressor should even go on shotguns and be the best muzzle

But ignition beams also increase the damage of the weapon.

@patrickboyd5017 4 ай бұрын

This! I'm not sure why UM has such a problem w/ ignition beams...I'm pretty sure they count as a separate source of burning dps (if you also have rank 4 lasers) AND they increase the base damage of the weapon - like amplifier or focus lens. Win-Win for an energy build...

What about the armor piercing mods? And for that matter... I feel like you should make an entire video just covering the topic of armor... how it works, when it matters, how to mitigate it, and the pros and cons of using gear that is set up to mitigate it.
