I always micro whenever I'm playing solo. Being stunned for 3 seconds was like life and death situation whenever you are fighting with someone with higher stats than you.
@@thegodistestingme yes cuz sometimes they could charge at you before you could even reload your next shot. Beak Things is one of the most fastest creature in Kenshi but they are the best training dummy for Accuracy.
Same here whenever I’m actually playing. This vid was staged, found a scenic spot & just hit record and let Kenshi do its thing. Cross bow kiting is so fun when the pathing works
I think thats the only way to use heavy weapons too. I found kinda enjoyable to find some decent binding layout for the stop action,autoattack and guarding for cancelling animations, you can cut the attack animation as soon as it lands with the stop command, with autoattack it tries to instantly attack after you stop it so you effectively increase dps, also guarding in time for the defense bonus is neat
This reminds me of what happened today after I got hit once by a bone dog and was fresh without any medkit so I was running to the nearest settlement while my health was going down to get one medkit or just sleep in a bed but just as I came to the city gate and the guard greeted me, I fell unconscious then proceed to just start dying while the guards just stood there...
Dont have them moddet in but, having a dinosauer eat people in the background and then pass by your unconcious body as if you dont exist, dose feel als if it accuratly describes the average kenshi experience.
it will allways grind my gears when the enemy gets attacked three times in a row and barely gets stunned, only to THEN block a hit his animation didn't even parry, but you take a single hit and your guy basically discombobulates for half an hour before getting hit again and doing so one more time before falling flat and dying to blood loss when he tries to get up again for no apparent reason
I would've loaded the moment my stomach hp started going down. No coming back from that, unless you get really lucky. You almost solo'd those cannibals though!
I found it's more efficient to pair crossbows with martial arts than 1h weapons. Dodging is way more reliable than Defence because your character will actually back away with defence he just stays there.. and if u play solo and with increased attack slots that a recipe for disaster.
Crossbow moment. Should have micro more and use bandages mid combat to prevent/reduce chest bleeding. And you should not fight things that can eat you in the first place, unless you 105% certain you gonna win.
@@IndraJayaGroup I love em, they just add to the misery of the world. Ever been run down by a beak thing and survive? Only moments later your corpse is being fought over by both a turtle dinosaur and an actual dinosaur (mod is wasteland tyrants)
Starting as a slave can be a really good way to go, you get two people to start with, can just dismiss on if you wanna go full solo. But you can use your time in rebirth to train up a bunch of stats, and there's minimal risk of death.
@babstra55 it can be a really slow process. I usually spend like 30 to 60 days in there. By the time I come out I've got two characters with wicked stealth stats who can take a serious beating and have some damn good strength. The only thing they lack is weapon stats, really.
@@JakanMcCaucaugh-zf4ch I start wanderer, get a katana and go to hive village to hunt gorillos and beak things. around day 4 I have 100-200K and 50 atk+dex and MA. takes one day to run to armor king and get good samurai armor, then to skinner's roam to fight ali baba and 40 bandits for ~2 days for 80-85 toughness, one day following the bandits for 75-ish stealth (for comfortable 100 with ninja rags) while I'm there. (helps with early bases building too to not get aggroed as easily). fighting gorillos with samurai armor is great for raising def too, but I tend to not do that because it's more fun if you're a little shit at defense in the beginning. the high toughness is good enough even if low def still gets you beaten up for a while so fighting beak things is more interesting. I used to do 2 days of weight walking on the hub defense walls to comfortably carry wounded of full hashish backpacks, but now I rather buy an edge 3 frag axe from scrap house and go swinging bandits, because it's just so much more fun and not much slower strength training. so I'm usually set for pretty much anything around day 10-14, depending on how the armor king RNG went (I have a mod to make him and scraphouse restock every 24h to make it little more predictable). if I'm doing some kind of a group run, I try to get ~10 guys and the training takes ~22 days usually, and I lay first base building in shem around 24th day. which is about enough for leveling to proc mastercraft on one guy if you want that in time to start your base. (more like 26th day though). when I watch people doing rebirth training starts, they tend to waste like 90 days and still lack important skills to make their character usable fighter. I'm sure it can be done faster like you did, but still it's just so incredibly slow, you don't get all skills you need, no money, no gear, and it's super boring. the upside though is you get a bunch of shek recruits while you're at it, and high lockpicking. I often avoid shek's though because it takes so much time to run anywhere with them. but obviously there's many RP reasons and theme runs where you want all the shek you can get.
So I was running a solo sniperbot at one point. How do you go about inventory management when looting ancient sites? I was running 3 backpacks, 1 thieves and 2 large normal. Giant pain in the ass sort all that shit
@@scages101 ok cool, might check that one out specifically for solo runs. I ended up getting a few thralls from the thrall shop mod specifically to carry my shit for me
I was playing canibal hunter humble start that mod that make your characters start with level 30 + -, so i managed to run from canibals to Holy nation, i almost got killed like 3 or 4 times in the float lands and then in holy nation tried to steal somethings from the travel store and got caught so i run to border zone but got my ass kicked by the holy nation soldiers but they didn't grab me so i manage to get to Squin where i tried once again to steal but this time i really got imprissioned and even i tried to escape i wasn't able, they beat me everytime, now my character is in coma and the others one, canibal hunter has 2, and i rectruit Ruka got beated in a trader spot close to Hub, i got that expanded cities mod
Bruh ya gotta start kiting when using crossbows. Shoot, reload, see oponent go into attack animation, ran away a bit while he swings, shoot him, and repeat until 99perception
Since when can you do unarmed attacks while holding a Katana? A mod? That is really cool btw, I always found it a bit contrived that I was *less* dangerous while holding a sword. In your game, you can block with the sword while still attacking with your hands and feet as well as sword strikes - perfect!
I could be wrong, I didn’t dive into any of my mods for details just looked at what I had subscribed on steam workshop. But I’m pretty sure once you hit a higher level on any weapon your character will start throwing in quick jabs that still count as a hit from said character’s weapon (in my case a katana)
@@scages101 damn really? I didn't remember my Kenshi sounding like that with the noises around the forest, probably gotta fiddle with the audio option or something, thx anyways m8
@@lamedrawings I believe that alot of Kenshi's ingame soundscape is tied to it's music (check out Kole Hicks youtube channel, his team made the Kenshi soundtrack and they have some decent behind the scenes vids with more info). For my audio settings I have everything set to 1 with the exception of Music volume at 0.5 & Music frequency set at 3 minutes.
I most of the time play Vanilla, solo, but pure melee: Samurai set and Fragment Axe, or Plank. Play like a mercenery on Great Desert doing bounty hunting. Pretty fun!
Modded gear, that backpack doesn’t give penalty to combat and I have DreadsGear’s assassin dust coat w Swamper Clans: Ninjas’ iron hat + gas mask no environmental hazards can hurt my main girl Jin
What bothers me is the lack of hit point damage on each hit to see how they can take the hit. To me that is a deciding factor of fight or flight. I mean this is a accurate depiction of soli, but why not show relevant info when you turn off the u.i?
For cinematic reasons, this video wasn’t meant to showcase actual solo gameplay with all the info & micro needed to gage fights. I think in another video I have my UI turned on at points when I micro my character away from hits but I think it gets in the way of making an enjoyable short video.
How I make easy money, run into the wilderness get spotted by bandits lure them back to town, town guards kill them all and injuring them, loot bodies and sell loot to general store and repeat until you get enough money out of it 1000 Cs worth 😊👍 P.s I did this in every town and over the past few game days I earn more than 10,000c
Best place to do this tactic is in the grey desert where you can lure bd ninjas for their shirts and katanas, faster ways are ancient lab raids, beak thing eggs using 2 mercs , robot limbs stealing , or even luring skeletons to paladin patrol in wend
Once you are strong enough, just equip normal katana and go to the slave camps areas in the great desert. Find some random jerks walking around,make them follow you until you are close to slave camp, kill them , kidnapp and sell.
I found it as probably the hardest kenshi challenge possible(minus some of the more weird challenges)... especially if u really went super late game...micro is insane...still remember kiting enemy attack by running back a little...and then hit them...heck i killed ppl with higher stats than me this way(its gonna take a long time tho) I found group and settlement to be a really hard early game...but easier late game...the opposite of playing solo
What mods are you using?
I got a mod list of 200+, what caught your eye? Crossbow & helmet are from “Ninja Clans: Swamp” on steam workshop
The dinosaur is like “wastelands tyrants” or something like that. Just lookup Tyrants on steam workshop
Just they way everything looks kinda like bannerlord. Lol
