The best thing about your videos is that you zoom in and highlight the icons and corresponding numbers. Then you explain what the numbers mean. Very few other video producers do that and they just very quickly show the screens and expect you know what they are talking about. I had a real hard time understanding all the icons and figures mean.

Interestingly enough (regarding early game outfits), you can actually acquire the superior blue rarity Nora Sentinel outfit before you leave the Daunt, as the stitcher at Barren Light sells it for just under 500 shards plus a Skydrifter circulator. Now, you can't normally hunt Skydrifters until you leave the Daunt, BUT there is one of the aforementioned circulators in a treasure chest found in the "Deep Trouble" side-quest (where you have to rescue two trapped miners) which you can access after you've drained the water and pushed a crate up to the raised platform with the yellow tightrope attached, which is where the treasure chest is. Of course 500 shards might seem a little steep at this stage of the game, but considering how much better it is than anything else you can get right now - or indeed for quite some time - you might want to take the time to grind it out.

The Oseram Explorer outfit is great simply because you can outfit it to be fantastic for Melee combat, which is very strong early on. The resistance isn't even that important.

Great video & solid tips for the early game! I would also recommend purchasing & upgrading the Ropecaster available at Barren Light. Particularly helpful to tie down a machine or two if you're outnumbered. Or if you want to hit a specific component or cannister. For example, you could sneak up on a Longleg & tie it down with 3 ropes on Very Hard. Use your Shock Warrior Bow to shoot one of the cannisters. Then switch to your Hunter Bow to shoot off one of it's Wing Burners. Shock Explosion from the cannister. Shoot off the other Wing Burner. Shoot the 2nd cannister with another Shock arrow. Second explosion. Then finish it off with a critical strike or a bomb. Leaplashers can be a handful in a group, but they'll get tied down with 2 ropes. You can easily tie down 2 or 3 of them real quick & then take them on one by one as the ropes will keep them downed for quite a bit.

Thanks just made it to the part in the story where you unlock the shops. So many things I don’t understand and I think your channel will help me out tremendously. 🙏

Bro I'm 16 hours in and needed this! Typed in best loadout early and everyone else saying get legendary weapons early and spoiling the game, this is what I needed green weapons I can upgrade early 😁❤️

[sunnyx]

I really appreciate your videos! I’m pretty alright with FPS games but when it comes to these kind of games where you have to upgrade and use special effects for it. I am super illiterate when it comes to these things. I enjoy playing it but not knowing I could’ve enjoyed it more if I knew how to use the weapons correctly. Thanks for “dumbing” it down for me! Peace & blessings!

Just found your channel! I appreciate the way you explain things and how easy you are to follow while explaining things! Thank you! Will be watching for a long time to come now! 🤩

Really looking forward to this game being released on Steam. I haven’t enjoyed a series this much since the OG Mass Effect series. Great video!

[husanera]

Best one..i had all except purgewater ..your video helped..thanks

[TheGaragebandGuide]

This is a fantastic guide! Looking forward to more.

[furiousstyles]

Your guide videos continue to impress. Can't wait to hear your recommendations on the blue/purple weapons. I'm at the halfway point in the story, so the sooner the better.

If you're going for a close range melee build I would suggest the warrior bow over the hunter bow to be honest

[skinsthewin]

I'd like to see a video for recommended Blue equipment, as the Blues will likely be what you use for most of the game. They are pretty strong & are still relatively inexpensive to upgrade.

[andicampbell]

Very helpful as I`m only at level 10 just now. Thanks.

[mishayah]

I just finished my main quest and gotta say I really sucked...you've become my goto guy, love your vids man...my opinion, you're the best of the bunch...I have learned a lot, thanks for 'Diligence'

[hankscorpion]

liked and subbed. really good content.

[skinsthewin]

Many early armors have great weaves locked on them. Such as Melee Damage, Quiet Movement, Stealth Ranged/Tear, etc. They should be upgraded just to grab the weave they contain.

[truthserum]

I'm doing a very hard playthrough. Thank you so much bro ❤️

Hi, great video! Quick question, where/how do you get coils? I don’t think I had any of the coils you mentioned for the weapons😅
