Well, then it would basically be Covert 2, right? I’m actually hoping it’s taken out completely...as I feel it promotes negative aspects that drive people from the game. Thanks for the comment, Orrin...Covert always seems to be a big topic of discussion! 😊👍🏻
Actuatlly there is a lot of tlou channels still active, but we don't get many views since the game is old lol. Try the search by recent filter ! :) Strategist helped a lot to keep the community together :)
Great vid strats! I never use covert unless I’m a flanker. That silenced burst pistol seems deadly when surprising someone, but the same could be said with the burst rifle 💀 🔥 😂
Thanks, AC! Yeah I started using the BP in #SemiAugust as I mostly came across Covert Burst Rifles all day, and instead of complaining about it endlessly, I decided to just come up with an answer. While the BP is not great head to head against a BR, it’s good enough for me. 😉👍🏻
Me too, Squidly! I think people will start to see the correlation between “underdog” and less-than-stellar teammates each match! 😆 Its good to know going into it...kinda a fun thing to think about at the start of a match.
I love it!!! I have been looking for a channel that uploads frequently, puts out good content and plays tlou. You are all 3 and I can not thank you enough. Definitely my favorite channel on yt right now.
Thank you for the extremely kind comment, Cheeky! 😊🙏🏻 I’ve just be steadily doing my thing here, putting out gameplays and insights when I can. I know it’s not the easiest or quickest way to grow...just throwing out re-hashed TLOU 2 material can do that...but I’m glad to hear you appreciate what I’m doing. Thanks again! 😁👍🏻
Love playing aggressive with covert if you can bait the running ping and hide somewhere close by to get the jump on a few guys. Enforcer silenced, covert 2, first aid 1, lone wolf 1
Yeah, I feel ya. CT3 and Shorty are tbag scrubbers choice, and I hated those. I chose to have one loadout with CT3 to counter those guys. Usually was with explosion expert 3. Still I never was such an asshole if I used CT3 and EE3, I never used a silenced weapon. Or if I used covert with a silenced weapon. Never combined it with explosion expert. But I remember those days when people rarely used covert.
Totally, Lalodrp! I watched a bunch of old footage of mine the other day...and not only was there very little Covert, but CT3 was virtually nonexistent...like maybe one player. I know stealth is part of the game, but there are ways to be sneaky without using Covert. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, always great to hear what other people think about these things! 😉👍🏻
Ooooow Sneaky sneak, that sounds as a good start to me :D 2:45 Catch this ! Right on him ^-^' 4:20 Rushing with half health and no ammo ^-^' 8:10 Yeah, good bomb reflex ;) 9:30 He was just waiting for his death, just didn't know it ;) 10:50 Improbable healing dancing escape succeed XD 12:25 All right here we go again :D 14:30 Ow very nice, indeed ;) 14:45 Lone Wolf activate on the right moment :D There are other month for a #Shivonly don't worry ;) 18:35 Pff that was pretty intence ^-^' Non medic sneacky covert revive class XD Great one T-Strat ;)
Thanks so much, Levroz! I love your annotations...so good! I know you never play with Covert, so I’m sure you could make an Agility/Lone Wolf + Scavenger version that is 😎👌🏻🔥
@@TLOUStrategist Aaaw thank you T-Starts it's always a real pleasure :') Covert is to sneaky and cunning for me ... this could sounds weird, but I prefect act sneakily rather than be squating invisible Yeeeeah AB - SO - LUT - LY ! :D Agility + Scavenger for the Rampage, you read into my mind ^-^'
I use a sneaky pistol only loadout myself I use silenced 9 mil covert 2 agility 2 and fat 1 its essentially a bow loadout for the 9 mil. Produces pretty good results. Personally for me I never run covert when using a large firearm but I think if ur willing to handicap urself with a PISTOL only loadout I dont see the problem.
Totally agree, rocknzombie! Especially when going up against sweaty Covert Burst and Tactical users. The Burst Pistol is a Burst, yes, but a severely nerfed one...3 headshots to down, 3 to remove armor, etc. I don’t feel I have to defend the use of CT2 here...I rarely use it, haven’t used it in months, and basically the majority of my opponents are in fact using it. 😉👍🏻
To add to the handicap of the burst pistol you literally have to make every shot count considering the amount of shots to down and limited ammo on pickups. The silenced burst pistol is a lot of fun and learning the recoil is challenging, so satisfying when you get it down though. Being able to put that reticle back in the same spot after firing or slightly aiming down while firing to keep close groups. At the start of using it I found myself being low on ammo quite often.
I admit it can be discouraging to run in to covert and campers but I still look at this game through the lens of stealth as a mainstay of its gameplay. Granted I don't run covert most of the time however there are times where it can be very helpful. I think about the campaign and how many times I needed to be covert in order to stay alive and I never felt bad about it playing the story so I never feel bad about it when I'm playing factions. I haven't been playing much do to my schedule although I have been trying out the burst pistol myself for #SidearmSeptember. It's a tough one to use I think but satisfying when you're successful with it. I just try to keep those engagements close when I use it. During sidearm September it has made me think about how nice it would be to have another pistol in the purchasables other than the El Diabolo. Maybe a one or two point pistol like a derringer that what's a 2 shot down but only held two shots. Perhaps even on choice to have a second pistol like the 9 millimeter or revolver and a perk that lets you duel wield them. Any thoughts? Anyways good games and I've enjoyed seeing all your recent posts. Hope we can play sometime it's always enjoyable. And if we're lucky we can get Namey and MadMatt with us. I'll see you next time among The Last of Us. Peace
Hey, virtualyme! I think dual pistols would be amazing...and likely in this scenario. It wouldn’t have to be using them simultaneously Lara Croft-style...but just the option to carry another sidearm in place of a primary. That would be rad! Yes, I’d love to get a match with those gents...next few weeks are busy with Outbreak Day and videos, but hopefully before the end of the month!
I’m a covert 3 almost religiously however I never stop, I never camp. I only sprint to evade. It’s just nice to get up close and sneak in. Ideally aiming to take out most of the team in one swoop. The only thing that can catch out covert is strategist 3 I think. Where the map blips when I’m close.
I know what you mean, MrBadavidson9...Awareness is also a very good anti-Covert perk. 😉👍🏻 If you haven’t seen it already, you may want to check this one out: ua-cam.com/video/dtkMDN_eWQI/v-deo.html
1:52 Thats a kick Mr Miyagi would be proud of 🥋🤣 4:20 LOL Thats the sort thing I would do. Committed to the cause 🤣 10:58 & 16:42 Awareness training required 😁 11:37 😴🤣 19:44 🤣🤣🤣 Nope!! Nice sneaky games dude and some sharp shooting with that Silenced Burst Pistol. That match on Bookstoore was pretty hectic. Im not sure Covert 3 is broken as such. It does exactly what it says on the tin but it is disliked greatly for the perks it negates as you mentioned and the play style it alludes to. Ppl are either not running it looking for action and the fight or ppl are and sneaking and camping waiting to ambush others. Seem like polar opposites of play styles and is really frustrating for those not running Covert 3. A time limit on the Covert perk in TLOU2 would be good.
LOL, MadMatt41! I never noticed that kick until you mentioned it! 🤣😆👍🏻 Regarding Covert...I’d just like to see it go away completely in Part II. Covert 3 makes ZERO sense that you cannot say “he’s there” even if he’s running all over the place with loud weapons. I don’t like how it suppresses communication between teammates, especially in no parties, when this is a game build on teamwork. Plus, you can still be very, very sneaky without Covert...Namey proves that often! 😉👍🏻
@@TLOUStrategistI certainly agree with you there and it would be great if ND levelled out the playing field in TLOU2 MP by removing CT altogether. We don't have to long to wait now to find out. Really looking forward to the TLOU2 event at the end of this month. 😁🙌 Curse that Namey, slippery little bugger!😃
If that counts into your sidearm month, I've been doing no shots fired games lately. Agility 2, Covert 2, Explosion 1, Brawler 1, Machete. I've been doing amazingliy well with this loadout, tons of 10+ kill matches and a boost to my K/D. You should try it.
Considered running scavenger? It seems like you often run out of ammo, especially in a section of the second video. Maybe it would suit your playstyle. Great video as always!
Great comment, Riccardo! I usually DO run Scavenger with my Pistol-only loadouts...just didn’t in this one for the Covert ability. Thanks for watching! 😁👍🏻
Thanks for stopping by, CPProductions! I have to decline at this point, as I don’t know who you are, nor have I seen any TLOU videos by you. I like to know my collaborators well first! 😊👍🏻
I hope, in TLOU2, covert3 can be marked for a few seconds. Seems like a plausible fix to me.
Well, then it would basically be Covert 2, right? I’m actually hoping it’s taken out completely...as I feel it promotes negative aspects that drive people from the game. Thanks for the comment, Orrin...Covert always seems to be a big topic of discussion! 😊👍🏻
I know exactly how you felt when you chase the lad with the hitstick. Once I set my sights on a bogey, I’ve just gotta home run their head off
LOL, Tex! 😂 We catch the dreaded “hit-stick fever!” 😆👌🏻💦
im glad there are still youtube channels playing this amazing masterpiece. TLOU online has definitely been one of my biggest joys in life.
Thank you, VergilMustDie! I agree...this game is a masterpiece and Factions is an immensely unique and underrated MP experience! 😉👍🏻
Actuatlly there is a lot of tlou channels still active, but we don't get many views since the game is old lol. Try the search by recent filter ! :)

That's a decent loadout...very dangerous!
I might just go back at playing tlou cause I was playing for this weekend and I actually miss playing this
I think you should, Elijah! We have maybe 6 months left...play while you can!
Wow T-Strats the covert 2 and silenced burst pistol is insane, nice job 👍😎
Thanks so much, Biffa! I saw you online the other day, but had to leave...hopefully we can get you in the #SidearmSeptember stream if you’re on! 😁🙌🏻💥
