You did not mention night vision googles. I think it a must for a stealth build.

Yes, definitely! Thank you for reminding me about it. I just got used to playing without it since I always chose nerdy glasses over night vision goggles in previous versions. Now that night vision goggles are a headwear mod, they should be super useful for a stealth build from now on!

it relaly isnt though. The darkness of the nights and indoors isnt really that deep to be actually needing any kind of light source in 1.0

Another shoutout: Urban Combat volume 4, especially combined with parkour. Makes the stealth play buttery smooth.

I am into the legendary phase of a stealth build in 1.0 and it is amazing, currently running T5 pois without "fighting" .. i play with an assassin style, do not enter the way the designers setup but find alternative ways to enter the poi ... when there are triggers for the Zs just run and hide for a few secs and the Zs lose interest and then you can take them easily ... not even getting any damage in T5s!!!

Thank you for covering stealth as it's an under discussed mechanic. I used to love stealth but they broke it in A21 with the trigger spawns (what I call "got ya" mechanics) and I had to adopt an entirely new play style. It's good to see you can sorta make it work again mostly, but to your point the trigger mechanics will always render it broken. The only suggestion I have is, again to your own point, knowing where the triggers spawns are and having an exit strategy before you enter the room.

Great video!

Mad respect for your Broken English and nice voice! Hope you enjoy your day!

Fun jump scares in stealth like in a horror movie 😂 your knowledge and expertise in game mechanics is impressive!

Full tier 6 assassin's armor is crazy good, especially with shotgun with silencer. You can oneshot most zombies, even radioactive. Not the rad bikers, police man and etc. You could easily two-shot them tho, cause they are falling down because their hp went down by half or even more. Can easily do multiple tier 5 infestations back to back within 1 night. They can't see you point-bank, when you are not in any source of light

Algorithm food 🙂

"I have a baaaad feeling about this....okay... holy crap." We've all been there. Something you may want to consider: according to the text in the Hunter > Hunt Animals Challenge, the stealth damage bonus has a 10-second cooldown. Stealth playstyle is slower to begin with, but now if you want to maintain maximum damage you can't really go on a fast killing spree even if the opportunity presents itself. (This doesn't take perks and buffs into account, though)

My go-to channel for stealth play. Excellent.

Great video Meow. Glad you're back and playing a stealth build. The assassin armor bonus seems way OP LOL! Edit: Would love to see you make guides for the new POIs. :)

Yes! It definitely seems OP in the end game. I hope we get to keep it this way though XD

I have been rocking the stealth build and loving it.

nice guide on a side note: can't wait for once human to get out!

Hmm Interesting. That's an aspect of the game that's often overlooked and that I enjoyed until prev alpha. Going back into it i guess now.

i don't jump in a hole in roof or ground, never. instead i break a sealed door, or i make myself a passage through a wall, so i could flee if needed, even if it's very very hard to make a new entrance (savage country)

Great video! What difficulty are you playing on?

Great video. Is using the priest gloves for extra damage an option thus losing the assassin bonus?

Yes, unfortunately, you need the full set for the assassin bonus. Using the priest gloves for extra damage would mean losing that bonus.

​@@peterhayward1553 I think if it guarantees a one-shot kill, the tradeoff is worth it. However, I'm not sure if it's enough for that in higher difficulty settings (I haven't tested it myself).

Nice video, but i have a question, if you had access to every melee weapon, which one would be the best for a stealth build?

@me0w0em

7 күн бұрын

My answer would be the knife category (bone knife, hunting knife, machete). This is because the weapon skill belongs to the Agility tree and has a 400% sneak damage buff, making it best suited for a stealth build. However, if you're looking for an alternative to knives and are okay with investing points in a different skill tree, I would suggest the spear. The spear has a longer range than other melee weapons, which helps with keeping distance. It also has an armor-piercing bonus (if I remember correctly), which is useful. Additionally, it uses less stamina than the sledgehammer, has a higher attack rate, and you can equip the 'Weighted Head Mod' for a bit of crowd control.

I've always been playing with a stealth build and I'm wondering, why do you use a Hunting Knife and not a machete?

@me0w0em

12 күн бұрын

It's just a preference, I think machete is also a good choice :) I usually aim for quicker, multiple hits rather than high damage. At higher difficulty levels, sometimes my machete can't one-shot some zombies. But the hunting knife is quick and consumes less stamina, allowing me to hit repeatedly. My logic is, the more hit you land, the more chance of head dismemberment bonus.

@@me0w0em Yes, the machete definitely can't handle the Insane difficulty level, which is why I like to use the sniper rifle on tough zombies. Generally, when I play with a machete lately, stamina is usually enough for me, rarely does it take stamina, and the difference between the speed of strong attacks with a knife and a machete, it seems to me that are very similar (light knife attacks are much faster). Unfortunately, there is no attack speed for strong attacks on the wiki.

​@@biay481 Oh, that sounds interesting-maybe they've changed the stamina consumption. I've been happily content with the hunting knife for several alphas, so I haven't actually checked the stamina usage in a while. I'll check out the machete later when I play again. Thank you!
