Hey guys, I couldn't find any good tutorials on dealing with bats, well not any about the new combat system at least so I figured I'd make my own!

Re: Bat Killing Tutorial - New combat system!
Same principle applies to any animal given you have enough stats/gear.

Re: Bat Killing Tutorial - New combat system!
So, I've got 45 UAC and 41 AGI and q29 leather armor and pants that's more than enough to kill a bat with just that one move? With all that, what else could I kill in this same method?
I'm really excited to try this because I've never been one for combat, I've always stuck to archery to hunt with, but with this method, it's seemingly a great simple way to hunt with. Provided it COULD be used for other creatures...
Edit:
Mk, so now I have 55 AGI (+14 from a Lynx cape I found from an abandoned base) and 50 UAC (had some LP I was able to spare, so I upped it by 5).

Re: Bat Killing Tutorial - New combat system!
No idea about what it takes to one shot a bat, the combat system seems to be heavily aimed preventing one shots so players at least have a chance to run.FictionRyu wrote:So, I've got 45 UAC and 41 AGI and q29 leather armor and pants that's more than enough to kill a bat with just that one move?

That's most likely the problem, the other huge problem is usually players don't realize the button can actually CHANGE depending on where you put your win button in the combat menu. Always make sure you place it on the far left so it's easily accessible by pressing 1sMartins wrote:I still have some trouble...the major mistake I made i think is I keep forgetting to push the damn button, do you have some advices about?Soukuw wrote:If there is any questions about this technique please feel free to ask.
funny vid, i hope that one day PVE will become more realistic. I haven't hear any plan about AI, etc..We'll see in the future.

Re: Bat Killing Tutorial - New combat system!
No, what I'm asking, what else with those skills that I provided could I kill with just left hook?

Re: Bat Killing Tutorial - New combat system!
If you have just Left Hook, put it on and raise the number as high as you can -
2 in this case. A punch works nicely as well.
I'd say apart from a bat, with your stats you can easily take on a fox for starters.
Just do like in the video, you don't even have to constantly tap, just tap it right after you hit every time. You'll see the move has a bright stroke around it - that means it's queued.
Maybe have some yarrow on you for the scapes and cuts. They can add up and form harsher wounds.
PS: The more you do it and get confident and the higher you raise your stats, eventually you'll be killing beavers, boars and then deer and such. But take your time to get used to it :)

Re: Bat Killing Tutorial - New combat system!
Lol actually all the audio was recorded afterwards in audacity as relive (AMDs new recording set up) wasn't picking my mic up for some reason, so that button mashing wasn't doing anything at all.Ysh wrote:I think button was mash for comedy effect.wafflecat wrote:Just do like in the video, you don't even have to constantly tap, just tap it right after you hit every time.
