As a new player to the game I'm grateful that you explain the entire quest line from the start to the last one being the catalyst as every single guy in every single UA-camr just says the steel rain update assuming I know what the hell they were talking about lol. Wonderful video very informative thank you so much
That’s some Doom slayer/ Warhammer, chunky boy, dummy thicc armor!!! Makes me sad that they merged it but it makes sense why they did but my goodness I haven’t seen it in gameplay yet!! Thanks for the vid man keep it up
The Slayer has entered Fort Atlas, repeat, the Slayer has entered Fort Atlas, all initiates protect the evacuation vertibirds. Knight Shin thanks you for your blood sacrifice in advance.
I'm "un"fortunatelly a slave of the skins. I kinda hope they'll retroactivelly add the various non-sobstitute paints for who already have unlocked (or, at least, at a discount from the atom shop); the chest design is far superior to the T65. it's chunky, but not flat.
Hellcat is good if you don't have a full set of T65, but if you use the right perks Excavator is surprisingly durable and good QoL. Bolstering and Em.Protocols is what I'm aiming for as I'm slowly trying to ween off of bloodied commando.
@@kalo7i0kquality of life, it means it makes your life easier ingame. That comes in the form of extra carry capacity and more ores mined with the excavator.
Great overview, Lone. Came here after Angry Turtle's (inevitable) comparison video and still appreciated your take on the armor and the mods run down. Keep up the great work!
It would be nice if they had a description in the Gold bullion vendor that told you what armor piece the mod applied to. I bought two torso mods for the Hellcat not knowing the could only be applied to the torso. Same for the legs.
That’s what I WAS THINKING! the legs and arms look like a redo of the T60, and the torso and shoulders look so much like the X01. The helmet doesn’t really speak to me but it looks cool
It's a specialist in what ironically is the one damage type PA cant spec into more heavily; there is perks and legendary perks that help you deal with rad, poison, fire and energy damage, but no PA perk helps against good ol ballistics, and its PRECISELY where the hellcat shines. I think this makes it the perfect power armor at level 300+, while its weaknesses will be more felt at lower levels where access to legendary perks to patch up weaknesses is more limited.
Yeah sorry mate, I have been trying to shorten the length of my videos (lots of people were complaining) so tried to push through the mods section without commenting on everything. Tesla Coils are definitely great in that regard! Personally I just use an explosive weapon to tag easily :)
@@LoneVaultWanderer longer videos are always better in my opinion. If they want to skip forward they can, but I hate getting to the end of a video and having a pretty obvious question left unanswered. Plus you still squeaked over the 10 min mark for the ad revenue, might as well send it brother.
Thanks for the video and the first look at the skin for me. Would of been nice to have seen a numerical difference between the Helcat and the T-65 but I can understand if you were just pushing this video out before the 7th.
Thanks very much mate, yeah I thought it would be better to have a seperate video that was dedicated to the actual functional comparison - didn't want to cram it into here and also wanted to ensure I was testing on the live server
Considering the first boss of Gleaming Depths can be easily farmed by two people in Excavator Power Armor, allowing you to acquire the complete set of Vulcan Armor, I’ve never even found a need to climb into a set of Hellcat.
Nice design. I think I gonna start the Brotherhood questline now, just to get my hands on it (I was saving this questline for later). It seems a variation of the XO1 design, but with a much more cool look.
Really keen for this power armor but still sad I wont be using it since I need my 30% XP boost from unyielding so I dont feel like I'm wasting time leveling the scoreboard
In my path to collect every power armor and actually make it usable, my first step is to get t-65, rn I'm at 4800 bullion, so I'm getting close, then I guess I'll go for the CS for hellcat and the final one will be the stranglers one, i already have the vault steel scrap
I think that a good compromise for them not giving us Unyielding PA would be to add a carry weight effect to the 3rd Star. I feel that somewhere around +25 for each piece you have the effect on would be a fair and sufficient consolation prize. Possibly even adding additional torso mod slot to attach a “cargo” mod since our backpack somehow “stops working”, just because we’re in our PA. lol
Remember wen it was stated that the enclave X-03 hell fire power armour was the best and most technologically advanced suit in the wasteland in starting to think the lore is a bit of tangled mess now
I haven't got T 65 but Ive tested my Hellcat against a T 65 owner and when it came to energy I got obliterated, when it came to ballistic, he died and I still had 65 HP and with radiation we dont know a good place but if someone knows please tell me I'm fascinated in testing. But no matter what the Hellcat looks awesome too bad you can't paint the T 65.
Yet the excavator sucks and doesn't allow for Jet Packs... its extra carry weight is not that much of a benefit except early on in character development.
@@opie456 Dude, the joy of a jet pack, flying through the air... jumping high is one thing but to fly, even in short bursts and reaching places in the game you wouldn't be able to get to without the jet pack, is so fun. PLus emergency protocols is something that can be replaced with cards that do it better.
I wouldn't worry about it. Literally the only three things it affects for any viable PA build are Melee damage, which melee is a joke anyway, xp from int, and wheeeee extra ap for jetpacking across the map from the top of Seneca Rock. Let the stealth commando babbies have their 'balance' win.
Keep in mind that the gold bullion limit is being raised from 200 to 400 every day, so the costs aren't as bad as they would otherwise have been. You can now get each mod in half the time
The amount of bullion getting raised is great but man, getting 40 treasury notes a day is just a slog, are they adding more daily quests to get them or maybe upping the drop rate from events? Having to do like 15 events every day is a lot
@@pete7615 with or without the 10% it isn't much. It was tested by Angry Turtle (another FO76 UA-camr) to be better physical resistance than T-65 but T-65 wins when it comes to energy resistance
Think it was 12% but they removed it from the helmet at some point, but yeah with the diminishing returns you get with DR/ER at those levels i can see some people favoring Hellcat tho in the end you can still tank in a Excavator suit just fine so i think most people are just going to pick the one that looks coolest to them.
@@LoneVaultWanderer Yeah, tempted to try to get a excavator set with reduce weapon weight on it so the ultimate carry weight/resource farming gear but my cores are going elsewhere first so only RNGesus knows when/if i'll be able to do that.
Trying to get back into this game and im struggeling with what armour to aim for. Im playing a commando stealth build and im just running around in chinese stealth armour. Is there a specific armour i should aim for?
This makes me cautious and curious for the future Pitt update for fallout 76. Cause as we know, back in fallout 3 the pitt was being run by former brotherhood of steel members that Turned into slavers
As great as it is getting the armour for free, i’m going to have to rebuild it to increase it’s durability. I am so going to use it a lot despite it’s lower dm res over the T65
The mod prices are stupid overpriced, though I suppose it can be fair as the hellcat is completely free as long as you do the entire quest, so I suppose it’s kinda balanced
Ive tried making the hellcat power armor set when i get a spare chassis but if i collect it and drop it the armor is destroyed and says i know the recipe but can build it later so im confused
@@JackHackworth-nr7sv bos quest doesn’t appear until level 20. And the problem for not levelling up quick enough is probably because you’re only doing quests. Public events are where its at.
I got to lvl 106 in a week as a brand new player coming from Destiny 2 so I’m used to grinding my ass off for everything, the easiest thing to do is join any casual team if you’re competing quests, join an events team if doing events, and do the same with daily ops and expeditions, join whatever team you need for what activity you are doing, also events are the best for xp, don’t focus on killing anything, just tag as many enemies as possible. You can also message high lvl players in your lobby to pop lunch boxes during events so everyone receives more xp, lastly make sure to rest in a bed before events for xp bonus and check your food/ aid items to see if you have anything to boost your perception, aka how much xp you receive for doing anything.
Nice video ! What would you consider best mods for this PA? I am using medic pump on my T65 just to put my mind at ease when I do decryption daily ops but you made me wonder when you said that you try to avoid this mod
I’ve asked this before I think , but is ultracite still viable ? Or are the base dr and rr just to low now compared to this new hellcat armor and t65 ?
Is this the only PA where the helm light is red? It's the one I wear, and I love it! Not too bright. My only issue with this PA is the drab, DRAAAAAAB coloring. Need some Hellcat skins, Bethesda!
did they change the hellcat or something i see people saying its as good as the t65 or slightly worse but ultraside armor is like 15-18% better than the hellcat
It's not quite invincible. I believe it's 50% of the reduced amount of damage after factoring in the 42% and 10%. So they don't stack together like that but still very low damage
Love how it looks like a hybrid of x-01 and t-60 like this is what the bos would make with salvaged enclave armour
That's what I thought when I looked at it with my X-01 side by side
