Scout suggested playstyle:
From my research, high level scouts in a good group will often try to only focus on HVT's (high value targets: acid spitters; webbers; mactera trijaw etc). They limit the time they focus on the Horde and LST’s (large single targets, praetorians and oppressors).
HVT’s can kill your team quickly and being ready to bring them down with minimal team damage is important. The Scout being able to illuminate these targets, dedicating time to scan for them and having favourable breakpoints and TTK (time to kill) on these targets is very beneficial to the team.
LST’s are often slow and can be focused near the end of the fight after HVT’s and most of the horde is cleared. Other classes are often better equipped and have more ammo to deal with LST's. Horde targets can often be cleared quickly and ammo efficiently by the other classes and can be left, or, only focused when it is ammo efficient for you to kill them.
This is a very short and crude suggested playstyle. It is also not the only playstyle. Your play group may differ so only take the above as a suggestion and something to ponder.
My Karl.gg blog about fire spread and this video - karl.gg/blog/33#/
FAQ and video clarifications:
Q) Why does Embedded Detonators get impacted by resistances, is it explosion damage? A) The damage is internal damage and not impacted by normal resistances. On H4+5 enemies have a 20% global resistance, effectively to make them more tanky. This is where the damage resistance comes in.
Q) How exactly does the born ready trick work with Embedded Detonators? A) You fire your magazine but ensure you do not fire every bullet, keep some bullets in the mag. Let born ready reload the Zhukov, then do the same again. Once you feel you have emptied enough, reload or fire the clip out, all the detonators will then go at once.
Q) In the Cryo Minelets simulations you used the Drak, what were you using? A) I was using OPA (Overtuned Particle Accelerator), you can get more details about this in my Drak video.
Q) What are the surveys you did? A) I did a simple Google Forms survey and shared this in my Discord server, the DRG Discord server, Steam Forums and on Reddit. It had questions about what OC you use, what targets you focus on and room for the person to share ideas also. It was completed by 104 people. I also did a survey for the normal players I speak to regarding my research so that I could compare data easily.

Something to keep in mind with embedded detonators is that the more players there are, the more valuable damage now is vs. damage later. Chances are, by the time you emptied your magazine and can explode a praetorian, someone will have already shot it with hyper prop and you end up overkilling a ton.

Heads up - when running embedded detonators, if you use supercharged feed mechanism (row 2 col 2 ROF buff) and get in, get out then the speed buff lasts exactly as long as a mag dump + reload. You can get 100% uptime with no need to hold off for a half second, and no missed buffs because it was already up.

Just got your channel reccomended, really love the depth, style, and especually the fact that you got data for the analysis! One thing, for me, the visual effects can sometimes clutter up the screen, so maybe speeding them up when there are more or they don't stay on the screen for long might help with that. Another small thing was when showing the screens that compare TTK, ammo use, etc, switched between screens very often - maybe you could condense showing the screens into one scene, with fewer transitions. Overall though, I really enjoyed the video, especially the depth you went to, showing ammo, TTK, ammo%, use case vs percieved use case, and even getting pick data - that's not something i've seen in any other channel, and the visual style of your videos (minus the slight clutter) is really nice!

I absolutely love these videos! I think that an important thing to test as well would be how the different events can be easier depending on your OC. The main reason I run Embedded Detonators is for the versatility. You gave prime examples of the damage it can do to bug and high value targets, but whenever I fight koroloks, prospectors, cartakers, BET-C, nemesis, the meteors on escort missions and stabber vines, the explosive damage from embedded detonators just annihilates them all so quickly that I feel like I dont have a choice but to pick it over any other OC. That's just from my experience of course. The worst drawback of it is for sure the ammo, but I feel that it's well worth it for the insane damage you can bring as a scout. R&S

Thanks for another in-depth vid. I'm no scout main but out of the 3 secondaries zhukovs is the least I use. When playing scout I mostly ignore the hoard and let my team handle it I just focus on high priority targets like trijaws and acid spitters. The one I'm using the most even in EDD runs is Specialist taser in a prolong duration build. 1 normal shot can kill both types of spitters and 2 taser shots can neutralize pretorians, oppressors and makes dreadnought missions a breeze. Special powder is still good but I got to the point that I'm good enough using the grappling hook that I don't need a secondary mobility tool to save me.

@esbernhawkins5912 Жыл бұрын

I got Gas Recycling a few days ago and I really like pairing it with an Aggressive Venting DRAK to deal with big targets. DRAK allows you to tag big targets with electricity, manually dump your heat to trigger Venting + Hot Feet, and then switch to your Zhukovs to shed a target. In effect, you're setting a target up for Conductive Bullets, pressing a "get off me" button for hordes, and counteracting the movement speed penalty of the Zhukovs all in one fell swoop. I also pack the obvious IFGs for horde clearing (because I'm bad at milking Venting for all it's worth) or for if I need a big target dead 10 minutes ago.

@leo-gv4td Жыл бұрын

i thinks it's worth stating that taking fire rate in tier 2 with custom casings does offer for a set of zhuks that is comparable to minimal magazines, and, imo, offers a better overall balanced weapon for single target and swarms. a favorite set up of mine that aims to basically have scout constantly putting out damage is a 2-3-2-1-1 hipster m1k paired with 1-2-2-X-1 custom casings zhuks and born ready. you basically spend your entire clip with hipster, trying to any guards in the pack first with it, then swap to the zhuks and use those to clean up whatever damage you dealt with the m1k until born ready reloads the m1k, at which point, you swap back to it and repeat. obv ifgs pair best with this strategy, and can be used either to make swarm clearing easier or to increase the single target damage.

I like the zukhov as it disperses a large amount of damage over a short period of time. Its perfect for running and gunning oppressors and gliphid but i find it struggles more on swarms and fast moving enemys as it main focus is to flank and exploit weak spots.

Scout's secondary weapon choice is quite easy: Does it give you complete protection from falling/messing up a hook/the game deciding that you don't fit into the dug hole and ejecting you out when playing as client? -> No? Don't use it. -> Yes? Use it. Nicely produced video tho.

Nice video! Before S3 for scout, I used M1K hoverclock and Zhukov dets. Since scout's original primary was buffed I've been loving G2K BOM 31212 Zhukov cryo 13212 and IFG. Can kill a lot at a quick rate and feels fun. Its two main weaknesses include flying enemies since you'll have to rely on other players to apply debuffs to them to maximise damage. Its not a make or break weakness but its something to factor for ammo, long range since you'll have to control your fire, this is the most manageable but don't go wasting an entire clip to get rid of something so far away. Finally, since the previous build I used allowed me to be more reckless when grappling on to things, I tend to fall and go down. Skill issue IG lol.

Gas Recycling, in my experience is best employed with "Get in Get out" mod, for one reason: difficulty balance. Gas recycling is useful for some armored enemies, but especially in mixed armoured hordes of grunts, at higher haz levels, like 4 and 5. However, at those levels, the bugs are MUCH faster than usual, and you will be screwed by the lower movement speed if you don't equip "Get in Get out" mod. Sure, the IFG can also be used, but it will only save you if you are in "hallway" scenario. On open fields you will be Bug chow. I would also reccomend the GR OC on the Zhukov's if you are doing Dreadnaught missions because those babies will shred through Lacerator/Arbalest armor like a knife through butter. It really helps out the whole team to break that armor.

I use the zhukovs to take out big targets like oppressor butts at close ranges so the accuracy doesnt matter too much, as well as to quickly tear up frozen enemies if I've used a frost grenade on a horde. I've used the miniclips for that but this makes me consider gas recycling. The embedded explosives require too much thought and Im dum. Beyond that it's an emergency secondary, most of the time I rely on the hipster m1000 to take out both high value targets and a line of grunts with blowthrough rounds. Also if I'm playing with a group Im more likely to take the crossbow, but solo I need the horde clear potential of the zhukov, as I play on haz 5.

@synka5922 Жыл бұрын

gas recycling is so good to generally spray into mobs with blowthrough & the armor break from the OC, also a great way to rip away armor on preats to then use e.g. AISE gk2 I play it on 21112 - generally I get up close and personal with my enemies as scout, throw a iFG and go ham. if one playes a more long ranged scout, I defo can see why T3 2 is superior though while yes, T5 1 gives you that extra damage, I often feel its overkill and the movement speed helps you keep kiting and firing while as close as possible to the enemy without getting hit. For reference: a single magazine nearly kills a Haz4+, with 4 players, preatorian, only reason it doesnt is because the first few bullets break down the armor. with IFG you do kill, you can also just power pickaxe or have some teammate damage finsih them off. And for macetera you got AISE

@RocketSlug Жыл бұрын

I prefer running reload speed and GIGO on cryo minelets not for the sustained damage, but to trigger GIGO faster with the reduced mag size and then using the speed to kite the hoard to maximize the number of targets frozen. Sure I usually just grapple over the hoard to kite them back over the minelets like how MosNothus does it in his guide on Drilling In The Name Of's channel, but the extra movespeed is a nice insurance to make sure I don't box myself in a corner trying to freeze everything.

@apoth90 Жыл бұрын

Cryo Minelets are best when combined with the Assault Rifle OC that grants extra damage to bugs affected by something. However, the pick has to be coordinated with the driller. If he picks Flamethrower, you work against each other. I'm sure, this loadout is what most people use, who voted for this OC as their favourite.

@DebasedAnon Жыл бұрын

Hopefully you do Driller primaries after you're done with Scout. Driller is the least straight forward class in terms of weapon builds because 2 of them are heavily reliant on DOT which is affected by all sorts of factors not in the stats and even Cryo cannon has some vague stats which really need to be tested thoroughly.

Rock'n Stone Brother. Nice Video, but i honestly feel the build suggestions for Costum Casings and Gas Recycling are both a bit off. I wouldn't recommand faster reloads on eigther of them. Costum Casings comes with realy big magazines, so we have to reload less often to beginn with. And also we kinda want the higher rate of fire on the 2nd modification level since it's a fixed increase so it makes the RoF decrease of the overclock itself quiet negetable. On Gas Rycling you also wanna take the increased Rate of Fire realy badly! Less time spend shooting means less time spend slowed down from the OCs slowdown. And if you run it with "Get in, get out" you can even increase the distance between you and the incoming bugs again while reloading so the OCs slowdown will hardly ever become an issue.

@TheSpeep Жыл бұрын

A question I've long had but never gotten a straight answer to: with the actual ammo of the Zhukov and Minigun being half of its displayed value, do these guns make up for that by doubling their damage compared to the description? So would we, for example, get 500 bullets of 20 dmg each rather than 1000 of 10 if thats what the game tells us? Or do we instead only get 500 shots of 10 damage each?

@@matteocdt5214 Ah did not realise turret arc worked. I don't think there is a threshold, just some stuff is programmed to work and others not.

In my opinion, Cryo Minelets are useful when dealing with "High Hp targets" and "High Value Targets WITH high hp". Using them "specifically" for hordes is kind of a waste of ammo imo. They excel against big, meaty and annoying targets that are not moving too much. Not only that, but freezing big dangerous enemies makes your team instantly flip their focus to help end such threats.

@GamingExistence Жыл бұрын

To be honest been trying to get this video done and not played season 3 a ton yet! Also I have not seen what Axis has said. I have done 15 missions using gas recycling EFS and some GK2 runs enjoying some of those changes. As for the seasonal stuff. I think it may well get old quite quickly but I can tell you more when I get some more games in 🙂

I'm surprised so many people use the Zhukovs for horde clear; they have so little ammo it feels like a waste most of the time. I was also surprised to see Custom Casings being so rarely used; I like to use it to magdump into a high value target that is electrocuted or under the effect of IFGs, in tandem with something like the DRAK with the electrocution mod, or the GK2 with Electrifying reload.

Probably because if you're interested in magdumping Embedded Detonators are right there. More dps, more total damage, less conditional.

@MoustachioFurioso83 Жыл бұрын

@@VorpalSword9 I rarely ever pull out the Zhukovs if I'm not in a position to reliably hit a weakpoint, and Embedded Detonators tend to feel like a waste of ammo in that case given their damage hardly benefits, not to mention a single magazine usually isn't enough to get me through a big target's health bar.
