Thoughts on mixing armors?

Thoughts on mixing armors?

Each part of your body has a different random chance to get hit whenever you receive damage.

  • Head 20%
  • Body 50%
  • Legs 30%

So, an interesting strategy could be to equip a heavy plate armor for your chest which is the most likely part to get hit, and then equip lighter weight armor on your head and legs, to help manage the downsides, keeping yourself more mobile, healing faster, able to use ranged weapons better, and etc.

What do you think? I've been wondering a lot about this.

How is THIS MUCH dispersion on LONG RANGE guns acceptable?

Like, are we being for real right now?

The person i'm shooting is 30 METERS AWAY and i'm using a carbine DESIGNED FOR LONG RANGE

I HAVE THE HEAVY BARREL EQUIPPED.

I fire 9 shots and hit 3

What the fuck else am i supposed to do anymore? If i burst fire i won't be able to deal damage fast enough to kill the other player ffs.

Stealth Jet's bombs are pretty good actually

Wanted to make this quick showcase of the stealth jet's capabilities

It's more awkward and difficult in comparison to the attack jet, but you can still get great results.

It is weaker (320 vs 435 dmg), but you do get 4 of them and they're attached to the most capable aircraft in the game

Give me your best pieces of advice

Things that might not be obvious but are extremely practical, save lots of time or resources, or generally help your experience be far more enjoyable.

I'll start:

When you're limited to copper tools and hit a massive quartz vein while digging for ores, you can use a copper hammer and chisel to destroy the blocks and go through them, instead of digging around them and wasting tons of time and pickaxe durability

The Jet's cannon has a maximum range of 485 meters.

I can hit the tail of the chopper (482m) but not its hull (486m)

The cannon's bullets despawn somewhere between those 2 distances, likely 485 meters.

This is Important to know so you don't waste your shots shooting at stuff you physically can't hit with your cannon.

How to ruin a tank's day in under 4 seconds

The M136 AT can "reload" while holstered, meaning you can do damage while you wait for the next one

PSA: The Stealth Jet out-rates the Attack Jet

If the stealth jet correctly utilizes thrust vectoring, it will turn faster than the attack jet can, even if the attack jet pilot does everything perfectly

The fastest way to turn with the attack jet is to brake and pitch up, with short pauses to afterburn to get your speed up and prevent stalling

You can rip jets into your HUD by thrust vectoring

Thrust vectoring gives you an OVERWHELMING advantage in dogfights, you can rip your nose around extremely quickly to outturn opponents and get them into your HUD to land shots

I was practicing a lot with stealth jets in portal and i decided to share a few clips

I created a reusable glow stick

I really like glowsticks.

But buying a new one every time is expensive and creates lots of plastic waste.

So i decided to make a reusable glow stick instead!

I emptied out a used small sized glow stick, cleaned and dried it thoroughly, then filled it with strontium aluminate powder, and sealed it up with 2 part epoxy.

You can charge it with sunlight or a sufficiently strong LED, and then it will shine for up to 8 hours.

Infinitely reusable, forever.

edit:

Guys please stop telling me to sell these, i'm not going to.

It's extremely simple to make, you can make your own if you want by following the instructions:

  1. Find an empty tube
  2. Fill with strontium aluminate powder
  3. Seal with 2 part epoxy

That's literally it, i'm confident you can do it as well. You don't need to buy them from me or anyone else

How are we supposed to complete challenges now that the modes have been removed?

Seriously, what am i supposed to do now

Stop wasting your CHARCOAL!!!

Preheat with firewood, then peat, then do

1 charcoal -> 2 peat, repeat

This fueling technique consumes roughly 50% LESS CHARCOAL for the SAME RESULTS

Support your vehicles!

A good vehicle pilot with a good crew can become nearly unstoppable

In this clip an enemy IFV showed his back to our guy while retreating, but instead of getting away he got instantly destroyed since i also landed an RPG on him along with my IFV

u/Low_Doughnut_8369 — 3 months ago

Yeah, me too!

Corba + Pitch + Roll + Yaw (Random bullshit, GO!)

Don't ask me how or why this works i have no idea I just happened to get it after 20 attempts in portal and i'm very proud of myself right now
