I couldn't find any comprehensive explanation on the whole weapon augments thing for Generation Zero. And since I already had done a bunch of testing to know what to use and not, I thought I might as well share it so other people can avoid spending their resources on useless perks

Thank you Dudu for the very comprehensive and informative video! Just got back to GZ after 8 months and had no idea about anything related to these augments. Now I know, and I am prepared to build!

I've been playing this game for ages, I've got gold titan topper on majority of my fav weapons but think as you are saying its only 20% max so not really worth it in hindsight. I look forward to seeing your tips in the video 😊

One particular use I found for the Oversized Magazine augment is to put it on a shotgun. The extra recoil matters a lot less than it would with the automatic weapons or more precise rifles. I get 10 shells before I have to reload with my semi-auto shotgun. Overall though, this is a great guide!

Put health stealing on the N60 or the Minigun. It is a mod that benefits hitting a lot in a short amount of time

To clarify on the experimental pvg doing more damage to armor: I can't find anything on the wiki or anything else that says this. From my personal experience using it, it seems to be that way, but I could be wrong. I could be getting confused by the recent buff to armor piercing 50 cal rounds. I'm not entirely sure. I'll probably do more testing with it when I have the time.

@DuduCosmin 6 ай бұрын

I don't think it has to do with the .50 buff. I tested it like a week ago and the EXP deals more damage to armor than the 5c, just as you told me when I was discussing the augments with you way back when.

Showing recoil when you have full skillset of recoil reduction: "Look, no recoil anyways" 😄 Thanks!

@duducosmin775 5 ай бұрын

With the PVG you mean? I'm fairly sure that what I was showing in that bit is not affected by skills. The point there is that the recoil usually resets Before you even get to fire So usually the fact that the muzzle rises doesn't really affect you The skills affect recoil, I don't think they affect recoil-reset, but I will test that

@ScottPeterson-kc9uo 12 күн бұрын

Once you unlock the gold augment you should just be able to reapply it whenever you want, and not have to repay for it over and over. These kind of changes need to be done in this game or it's going to end up way to grindy and turn people off from it..

@Kalano 5 ай бұрын

I wish you had tested the acidic. Are you positive it only works on reinforced plates on the machines like the knee armor you mention? My understanding was anything that wasn't a component was "armor" - ie. the body and "components" were the internal organs.

@duducosmin775 5 ай бұрын

Funny thing about that I have since checked and Acidic actually has no effect, positive or negative, on the overall main body of the machine. It deals higher damage to the actual armor plates, which you can check with binoculars and tech view, it will tell you which bits are armor, and lowers component damage. But it does not affect main body damage. Yet another inconsistency Thanks GZ

@ricardohernandezr5765 Ай бұрын

I prefer the experimental one, you can hit the pieces in the back without being behind, I use the piercing one on rifles guns and with the piercing vision to hit tanks from dogs quickly from behind a wall. By the way did they nerf the pv 90? And did they remove the faster bikes , They haven't given me any faster just colors in a new run.

@dataanalystbynight4375 Ай бұрын

I will say that the 5 crown pm-71 with gold health steal is really great on adventure mode, or adventure with scaling. However, beyond that it really is diminishing returns sense the difficulties of skirmish and gurerilla reduce damage output. It makes the augment very insignificant on guerrilla and you have to rely heavily on resources like health or paramedic packs at that point. I have found that both my most useful augments are the gold uranium infused and the gold emp, both on PM-71 are great. The 5 crown pvg 90 with gold unstoppable shells is great as well. For ducking behind cover and shooting the enemy. I think most of what you said is absolutely spot on! My next objective is going to be to make 7.62 shock ammo and see if the increased damage does better with health steal.

I use extended mag on the AI 76 despite the recoil because I also use it with small fryer. Those two put together make it utterly useless for everything else but against any small machines it kills them so fast that the increased recoil doesn't matter. I'll give the 5c pvg a try. I was still on the experimental, but once I unlock unstoppable shells 3 I'll test with both. An extended mag on the pvg would be nice if the recoil isn't too bad. I still run other exps, like the kvm 59 since no augments replicate how useful it is against groups.

Run gold emp discharge, gold stabilisation and shock rounds. Honestly it's disgusting how quick it melts groups of hunters and dogs, the benefits to having a laser accurate, high capacity gun that disables anything when a module gets destroyed. Like I said... Filthy filthy FINX is crying it's too unfair 😂

I also like your personal opinions on the upgrades :) Do you have any idea whether you get some of the resources back when you remove a disappointing augment? I already made a big mistake installing the golden stabilization augment.

I have checked and no, you do not get any materials back when you remove an augment So don't bother removing Just get a new gun to augment

Great job, man! Thanks. I have a question about Scope Scout upgrade: are you sure it counts towards +10% skill damage for highlighted enemies? In skill description clearly mentioned that binoculars has to be used. I'm not argue, just confused a bit. Also health regeneration is quite good augment. It doesn't prevent from using meds, but cuts usage for like half. And that is a lot, cuz textile is almost impossible to obtain in combat and I hate scavenging.

Okay, I've tested it myself: "Designated target" (additional damage to marked enemy) doesn't benefit of weapon augments "Scope scout" and "Skilled spotter" at all.

Thanks for the vid. For the PVG 90 are you still running uranium infused? I liked the sound of sharpshooter as I usually use other guns for closer range but I'm wondering if there is much point now. Perhaps titan toppler would be best as it helps with damage against the reaper too with no downsides. I wonder if the extra 20% is better than the EXP PVG 90? The Scorcher one for the PVG90 sounds like it would impact close range too, especially if you are just quickscoping runners or hunters without very careful aiming? It's a shame they cost so many components to augment, and then you lose it all when changing............

Recently I do still have UI on my PVG, but recently what I've been mostly using is 2 KVMs One with slow (forgot the name) and one with EMP So what I do is a sneak near the tank, 1 shot with the slow, EMP it, then slow for the rest. It's Very effective. For the reaper, I actually use a PVG with Unstoppable for most of the fight and then the KVM I have with Slow on it when it's about to explode. If you mix it with shock ammo that thing's a monster. Works especially well in a party, gives everyone more time to shoot the thing
