@@jeffreygao3956 D Is Still Kinda Low If We Ignore The Disadvantage And Other Stuff Because No Animal Will Mess With A Rhino excluding A Male Elephant In The Season. We can defend the fact its not close to top tier but it doesn't mean it sucks
Right? It's so impressive. Whether that elephant learned that trick from it's momma, or figured it out itself. Either option shows a super high level of intelligence. One of many reasons elephants are my favorite animals. Don't get me wrong though, I love rhinos too! Also, nice pfp
Yeah, because they're so enormous and obviously physically powerful, it's easy to underestimate the intelligence of elephants. I bet that elephant knew full well that the stick can't possibly hurt the rhino really, but it would freak the rhino out enough to run away.
I feel like the griefing done by human players in the poachers clan should have been mentioned in this video. Without that, putting rhinos in D tier is unwarrented. Rhinos being vulnerable to intimidation is not nearly enough of a weakness to justify their placement, as being scared off does little to negatively impact their playthrough, as they are herbivores. In fact, it prevents them from taking even more unnecessary risks than they already do.
Agreed. In comparison to human players, all animals are pretty dumb. Sure, rhinos are dumb, but compared to other animals, not so much as to justify putting them in D tier. Despite all their weaknesses, rhinos are still hard to go up against.
How about F tier because all that tank and muscle means nothing when you’re so blind and stupid, anybody can walk up and pounce on your one and only fatal weakness.
I feel D tier is a bit harsh. While they definitely have their weaknesses, the fact that they are almost untouchable in the Africa and Asia servers(hard mode) is extremely impressive. The only bad matchups they have are humans and elephants, which could honestly be said for pretty much every species. I think high "C" or low "B" tier would be a more fair placement.
I’d argue for a solid middle C. If you play as a rhino, you ain’t gonna have a good time, but you ain’t gonna have a bad time; you’ll be easily spooked but you also prolly won’t die. Middle of the road feels fair to me
Intelligence is a critical stat is today's meta. don't think you can get above C tier without at least slightly below average int stat. Sadly the rhino only beats the rock in the int stat. The video actually puts it higher that it really is.
This guy doesnt know what hes talking about lmao. He commonly puts animals at an unnecessary position they dont deserve. Hes called salmon a bad species because individuals commonly die in migrations, despite their species being benefited as a whole. Hes also said things like how trike can be taken out by a lion via suffocation (Which I have screenshots of lol) Hes also said leapords could climb trees to kill sauropods lmao. Other examples of misinformation include saying seals evolved from bears, He also loves to base how successful an animal is off of "pvp" skills. So you get wildly successful animals at F tier lmao.
@@Paradigmension They're only endangered because of humans so no, they don't need a buff. If you rate every creature by its lack of ability to deal with humans then virtually every creature would need a buff according to your logic.
I’m a little mixed on this one. On one hand, I agree completely that rhino weaknesses are easily exploitable, and that friendly fire is a huge issue with their strategy. However, having a one sided fight against lions, and holding their own against elephants, hippos, and crocodiles has to be worth something. If the human player base didn’t grief them so hard, maybe rhinos could have a more dominant spot in the meta, but the human player base loves being toxic for the sake of it, while also getting more premium currency out of it.
Strong agree, not to mention players in online communities love to poke fun at the rhino and undervalue its potential, coming from someone who loves the elephant class.
Sir, let me voice my utter delight at the concept of your channel. Not only do you explore The Outside, which is a noble endeavour on its own, but you bring it to our living rooms in a genuinely interesting format and you speak our language. Honestly you deserve more credit.
This is a genuinely amazing channel. It gives off information and entertainment in high quality videos. Huge respect towards this guy for making this type of content.
Kinda wish this one was better researched though. The argument on bulk makes no sense, for instance. The bulk of modern rhino's still keeps them save from predators, so its still useful. Not to mention the short-faced bear and woolly rhino didn't even overlap. Plus, he mentioned the whole thing about eyesight. But rhino's having bad eyes was already debunked in 2008.
@@megadracosaurus Rhinoceroses have a pretty mediocre eyesight at most. Which of course doesn't mean their vision is horrible you're right don't get me wrong. But the bulk isn't really that useful because of their already tough and thick skin. It still isn't as useless as he made it seem but you get the idea. The short faced bear and Woolley rhino indeed never crossed paths with each other you are 100% correct on that one. I mostly agree with your comment but keep in mind most people including myself aren't going to fully trust a UA-cam video. I still do research myself but this man's content is very informative even if not 100% factually correct.
Maybe the video was rushed because it have been less than 2 months for the upload so maybe It didn't have much time and had to upload to keep the numbers up Maybe he found a sponsor while creating and rushed so he can get more budget for future vids
@@giannismh8242 I wouldn’t say mediocre at most. Look up the paper ‘Retinal ganglion cell density of the black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis): calculating visual resolution’. They have fairly decent vision by mammal standards. Not super amazing, but also not bad. The paper concluded a rhino can easily identify a human for example at a distance of about 200 meters. That’s honestly not as bad as people claim.
@@megadracosaurusDo you have a source about the eyesight thing? Every single website and paper i find online basically agrees that they have a very poor eyesight
This is awesome! Never thought that you could do a complete explanation of an animal, but videogame style, and make it even better. Immediately subbed!
I mean, it makes sense. That's a lotta shit to handle in your periphery when you're already focused in on the thing that's twice your size with twice your reach, possibly multiple of them unless it's a bull in musth, in which case the rhino is fucked either way.
I still think they deserve c tier. I think d and f should be reserved for organisms that legitimately either have issues surviving in the setting of the current meta, or ones that have strategies so specialized or inefficient that it’s perplexing how they made it this far. Rhinos really only have bad matchups against humans and elephants. And if it weren’t for the immense amount human players poaching them, they would be fine in the current meta.
@@gregoryfenn1462 that means elephants are low tier cause of their ivory tusks. which is not a useful ranking cause elephants are actually very adaptable animals with lots of useful tools. its just that humans choose which animal is bad in the meta.
Human griefers shouldn’t be counted as the meta. Humans can counter any play possible with enough preparation and they decided to pick out rhinos for their drops, not their weaknesses. Besides, just try to find a non-human large animal build that can counter cars and guns.
@@johnmarkson1990elephants have about 10x the population of rhinos because they are able to overcome their somewhat bad matchup with humans. Also living in herds, elephants are able to overcome the biggest weakness, defending respawns. Rhinos so easily losing their young and taking so long to respawn automatically puts them in D tier.
I was also thinking C tier. D-tier feels a little low for a build that has next to no enemies that can damage it. Especially considering how the enemies that can damage it, are like the 2-3 highest tier opponents in the continent and possibly the world (elephants, humans, hippos).
Too bad they keep team killing one another due to how stupid they are, especially considering their respawn times and the fights they just choose to lose because they can’t comprehend that they are strong enough to defeat most of this enemies. Absolutely deserves D tier, garbage build for idiots, but is a cute animal in domestic setting surprisingly.
imo it should be even lower, the fact it has extremely low intelligence means it will always be competing for food and its young are extremely vulnerable even if its extremely hard to kill an adult. It also means it cant effectively group up as a team. This isnt helped by the fact it reproduces slowly. It seems like a build which is optimised around either making it to be either an alpha male or bust, or female and accept massive childbirth risk for life. Just is not ever going to be viable, similar to how pandas are dying out because they just dont wanna bang.
The rhino's bad eyesight and low intelligence often offsets the advantages that its tanky build would have otherwise brought: - You're so bulky that you should be able to win fights and control territory right? Well too bad, you're so blind that you fail to recognize your surroundings to the point where you attack trees and rocks, or you lose resolve too easily in otherwise favourable interactions and get chased off. - You're so tanky that you should have little trouble with escort missions right? Nope, your poor eyesight and intelligence means you cannot party up with other players to ease your burden, it means you cannot effectively control a defensive zone around yourself, and worst of all, it means you are so easily baited away from the escort or even get baited into teamkilling it yourself.
You're really only judging combat when you're using OoC hacks. Try a run-through without a second screen, and without using your previous run-through experience, and rhinos will not give you a fun game even half the time. Between grazing, constantly managing your sensory debuffs and chat aggroing you, and dealing with everything including humans? Rhinos aren't even mid tier, and that's without including the lack of a rear attack option.
Im surprised that he didnt mention one of the most important parts of the Rhino: a Rhinos horn is made out of keratin, which is what makes up our hair and fingernails, although a rhinos horn is extremely extremely tough, it can actually BREAK because its not a skull mounted weapon like say an ibex or wildebeest. Fun fact this why sometimes you see a rhino with a hairy horn 😅
@@spindash64yes, i think thats a bonus point for using as a material for the horn. Although I don't think it's a good one considering regeneration of the horn takes way longer time than them breaking their horns by randomly attacking other classes
Thankfully their hp and mass stat still makes em quite formidable without their horn. I dont want to be the poor lioness player that messes up and gets trampled by an angry rhino player.
We can't even agree on human vs human... There is just too much variables like different martial art styles, environment, terrains, body types, strategies. It would be fun to discuss sure but not very useful in any way... Maybe a reddit tread would do?
@@staatsnoobNr1there was a guy who killed a mountain lion with his bare hands when it attacked him out hiking. wasnt even like a ufc fighter type guy or a very muscular dude, just like your normal outdoor bro.
I guess we look at what creatures do you expect 50% of the population to beat at least 50% of the time or around that mark as one off chances can still occur
Elephant when throwing the stick is like "Go away dude. I have nothing you want, you definitely have nothing I care for, so just go away chew some grass or whatever."
I feel like TierZoo has the most top-tier edits per minute out of any UA-cam channel out there, and the videos just keep getting better. Thanks for giving us another banger of a video!
Their biggest problem is that the poor eyesight and hyper aggression get them into pointless fights. There's no advantage to be gained in attacking other large herbivores (unless it's two male rhinos fighting over the right to pass on genes.) But they're gonna do it anyway.
@@Jabroniville PVP is only an option if you have a solid and quick re-spawn. Rhinos just take too long to re-spawn and the points are waaay to limited to risk your chara. Also, a just re-spawn rhino will have it hard to make it to its best.
Probably not the fault of the rhino players, Being aggressive as a large herbivore build is a really good strategy, but the downside of both lower intelligence [though not stupid] and poor eyesight means that they fail to make a correct perception check before a potential engagement. The rhino playerbases biggest problem is mostly thanks to some of the human playerbase.
Lovely video. The audio is a really underappreciated aspect of your videos - so thank you for taking the grueling hours to edit the audio in a pleasant and nostalgic manner ❤
This channel gives me nostalgia to the Wild Krattz from my PBS kids days. 💛 TV isn't as popular nowadays versus streaming websites, but I could imagine this as a TV show.
Another awesome video from TierZoo. Very educational, as per usual. Speaking of which, I know I'm late saying this, but congratulations on winning a streammy in the educational category. You definitely earned it!😉👍🏾
rhino builds also suffered from a forum post a while back that erroneously claimed that rhino horn was some sweet lot and could be used as a potion buffer.
The Rhino's biggest weakness is that it took the "Valuable Drop" flaw. The Devs were actually going to give Rhinos a buff by making humans farm them but the idea didn't catch on.
This channel is the best example of something being fun and educational. Lots of people have tried making education fun, but it always feels a little forced, or they sacrifice details in the name of fun. This channel is so fun and so educational I don’t even realize I’m learning. I look forward to every upload on this channel, it’s great.
You should change the “respawn” to “spawn” as respawn is the same individual that comes back to life and that doesn’t happen. Spawning would be a better fit as you can use it when a player is spawning into the game.
Let us not forget that their horn can actually puncture a female during mating. I learned that in the zoo. By the zookeeper. It happened before. So before they put the 2 together for some chunky loving, then they had to reduce the length of his horn. Else she might suffer death. That is also a very very bad weakness, death by snu snu.
Recent datamines have shown the rhino’s eyesight isn’t actually as bad as we originally thought, and the overly aggro behavior is likely just par for the course for the kind of players a large armored tank build with a giant sword on its face tends to attract 😅
Elephants are capable of painting with their trunk, however, most of the tests and showcases that you see in videos or zafaris are because the people make money and they demand and train the animals to do that. It is sad but at the same time it shows that elephants have the dexterity to do it.
There is so much effort that goes into these. it really is amazing. Me and my friends will passionately argue about this type of thing. Then we'll watch these videos and think we're idiots. Oh shit didn't think of that. Genius, no body does this like you
Hey Tier Zoo, long time subscriber over here, thanks again for the amazing content. I wanted to comment because I really liked your energy this episode, I don't know if it's just me but it seems you went for a way more fast paced and emotion packed narration, making the video a bunch more engaging! Thanks again for your work, take care.
Just visited local zoo today. Out local Rhino is the one me and my kid always look forward to seeing the most. No matter the season and the weather, rhino is always chill, there is something very comforting in observing him.
I've yet to play on the Africa server myself, let alone as a build that interacts with oxpeckers, but I could have sworn I'd heard about having oxpeckers on you being a mixed blessing--or even a problem. While they can certainly serve as a lookout, I've heard claims that oxpecker players tend to prioritize eating engorged ticks (i.e. ticks that have already done as much damage as possible to their hosts) in order to maximize the experience they gain from each tick they eat. I've even heard some claims that oxpecker players will peck at open wounds on their "perches," slowing the rate at which they recover from said wounds.
This video just randomly popped up on my feed, and I have to say, I LOVE the style you went with. Talking about an animal like it's a character build in a game is the perfect way to present a nature video XD Also makes me think of all the ridiculous "Best build" videos that people make as if it's the only way to play.
Have you explored the rest of TierZoo's channel? They have made a lot of "Are (build) OP?", and for anyone serious about The Outside, its definitely worth checking out
The game, outside incase you didn’t know is pretty good I do think human build is a little op however there intelligence stat is so op it can buff all there other stats
The issue is, some of the content mentioned in this video are proven to be untrue or flat out misinformation Examples: - Rhinos are not as blind as assumed, they have an average of 200m range of vision and are on par with cat vision, while being better than a rabbit's. 200m vision range is also alot better than a majority of humans today (which wear spectacles). - Low intelligence is not proven at all, and the rhino has been doing fine for millions of years charging at things to make sure they don't get near it. Predators distracting animals to get at their babies is a common strategy used against elephants, wildebeest, deer, antelopes, etc. - Rhinos are not "exceptionally suited" to cold climates, the wooly rhino is the same size as an average white rhino and it did not encounter any short-faced bears. This can be easily googled or read from Wikipedia, but TZ still got it wrong. - The Ice Age was also not more dangerous than modern day, most of the Ice Age animals are an extension of modern Africa's animals but with more biodiversity. - Rhinos didn't evolve into Paraceratherium, Paraceratherium comes from a way earlier diverging branch called Rhinocerotoidea. Early ancestors of Paraceratherium resemble horses superficially more than resembling today's rhinos. This is not a good outlook when you have a large viewerbase and can easily affect scicomm, when information easily found on Wikipedia is also gotten wrong.
Whist I agree that they are a bit lower on the tier list just 2 quick things and that we’re worth mentioning. Rhinos have an excellent sense of both hearing and smell, with evidence to suggest that can can distinguish between others of there own kind and other predator species. While not enough to set off bad eyesight and low intelligence I do believe it mitigates that disadvantage somewhat. This along with the fact that there only bad matchup is with the largest land animal in the game and humans makes me believe rhinos at least deserve high C tier. Overall great video, very informative and entertaining. Good job my friend
Would like to see a video about if hyenas OP. even though he explained it in the underrated video, i would like to see a more indepth video about the traits, advantages, disadvantages, and where they place in the meta currently
He's been on a tear of African mammal videos lately and the hyena has kind of lingered over the proceedings the whole time. Definitely seems like a thing to discuss sooner rather than later.
They're quite a good build, especially with pack hunting. The only unfortunate thing is most hyena players are incels, and blood hunt other creatures. EG, munch crunching on DEEZ NU-
Can we get a video grading various companion animals in the game? Not just pets that humans keep, but other animals that keep smaller animals to help survive (the spider that keeps frogs to help kill bugs that eats their eggs comes to mind)
I think it depends on the amount of intelligence. Too intelligent, they might all just blast with laser beams at each other. Too dumb and they will just all randomly trample and stumble over each other until the heaviest has won.
Long time fan here, happy to see a new video. I’d really love to see a detailed monkey tier list (Old and New World monkeys) or a hymenopteran tier list.
This is an awesome presentation! Humor often serves a VERY SERIOUS PURPOSE. It allows the presenter to extensively cover an in-depth educational topic, while still holding the interest of the audience.
Ngl, rhinos should probably dump their stealth in favor of intelligence, I mean, why hide when you can essentially be a bulldozer that smart enough to not get baited
Guys, please, support the official petition for TierZoo to make a tier list of parasite insects! Ticks, mentioned in this video, are absolutely fascinating, it's a whole shadow meta that influences more conventional, "sizable" builds immensely!
Funny I’ve stood at the exact same waterhole from 3:55, it’s in the etosha national Park at the okaukuejo Camp. At night there would always be a few rhinos there
Glad you mentioned the armoured skin. It's effective enough to be a prized shield making material throughout India and East Africa. Would you believe, by the way, that Paleoloxodon, a prehistoric elephant, may have outweighed Paraceratherium? As ever, fun video, great content.
I've been here since the Snake build video and this is the only channel that I can recommend to literally ANYONE! A combination of nature show, gaming channel, and the popularity of tier lists? Brilliant since the first video
Those clips of elephants tossing things to spook rhinos are hilarious, especially the one at 8:54 it looks so premeditated on the part of the elephants, and the one that threw the rock looks like it's paying real close attention to whether it needs to throw another one :D
Hey TierZoo, a fantastic tutorial guide as always! I have a suggestion to make- The axolotl. I had seen a few videos on them a few years ago and they absolutely blew my mind.
You've forgotten to mention the 'Unicorn'-variant, although I understand since it is very rarely seen and needs very special conditions to come close to contact humans. It also usually lives in another biome, so I hope you will have a follow up informational video about them, maybe around end of March or start of April would be good.
Honestly a unicorn sounds like a truly OP rhino. It would have the kicks to protect the rear, still have the advantages of the horn on the front and the armor and hopefully better eyesight. I'm imagining something approximately like the cross between a Clydesdale or Shire and an Indian Rhino. Now that would be a terrifyingly majestic creature
@@matthewblackwelder6487Unicorn would have a significant hit to Defense though, especially with the Frail Leg Bones (FLB) debuff common to the Equine meta, but this would at least in part be mitigated by its levels in Divine Magic if it specc'd into Restoration.

Rhinos being vulnerable to intimidation is not nearly enough of a weakness to justify their placement, as being scared off does little to negatively impact their playthrough, as they are herbivores. In fact, it prevents them from taking even more unnecessary risks than they already do.
Agreed. In comparison to human players, all animals are pretty dumb. Sure, rhinos are dumb, but compared to other animals, not so much as to justify putting them in D tier. Despite all their weaknesses, rhinos are still hard to go up against.
How about F tier because all that tank and muscle means nothing when you’re so blind and stupid, anybody can walk up and pounce on your one and only fatal weakness.
Everyone who says that misses the biggest point, the majority of rhinos don't make it to adulthood
@@karlketamine8172do most animals make it to adulthood? it seems like most of them get bodied pretty hard until they’re grown
"Without this mechanic in the game my build would work."
Learn the meta and git gud scrub.
I feel D tier is a bit harsh. While they definitely have their weaknesses, the fact that they are almost untouchable in the Africa and Asia servers(hard mode) is extremely impressive. The only bad matchups they have are humans and elephants, which could honestly be said for pretty much every species. I think high "C" or low "B" tier would be a more fair placement.
I’d argue for a solid middle C. If you play as a rhino, you ain’t gonna have a good time, but you ain’t gonna have a bad time; you’ll be easily spooked but you also prolly won’t die. Middle of the road feels fair to me
Intelligence is a critical stat is today's meta. don't think you can get above C tier without at least slightly below average int stat. Sadly the rhino only beats the rock in the int stat. The video actually puts it higher that it really is.
This guy doesnt know what hes talking about lmao. He commonly puts animals at an unnecessary position they dont deserve. Hes called salmon a bad species because individuals commonly die in migrations, despite their species being benefited as a whole. Hes also said things like how trike can be taken out by a lion via suffocation (Which I have screenshots of lol) Hes also said leapords could climb trees to kill sauropods lmao.
Other examples of misinformation include saying seals evolved from bears, He also loves to base how successful an animal is off of "pvp" skills. So you get wildly successful animals at F tier lmao.

They're only endangered because of humans so no, they don't need a buff. If you rate every creature by its lack of ability to deal with humans then virtually every creature would need a buff according to your logic.
I’m a little mixed on this one. On one hand, I agree completely that rhino weaknesses are easily exploitable, and that friendly fire is a huge issue with their strategy. However, having a one sided fight against lions, and holding their own against elephants, hippos, and crocodiles has to be worth something.
If the human player base didn’t grief them so hard, maybe rhinos could have a more dominant spot in the meta, but the human player base loves being toxic for the sake of it, while also getting more premium currency out of it.
Yeah the human player base is their toughest matchup. So many (sub)species are endangered due to poaching and habitat loss...
Strong agree, not to mention players in online communities love to poke fun at the rhino and undervalue its potential, coming from someone who loves the elephant class.
Man its so refreshing to see those sub numbers up in the millions now, these videos have always been top-tier and creative af

Sir, let me voice my utter delight at the concept of your channel. Not only do you explore The Outside, which is a noble endeavour on its own, but you bring it to our living rooms in a genuinely interesting format and you speak our language. Honestly you deserve more credit.

This is a genuinely amazing channel. It gives off information and entertainment in high quality videos. Huge respect towards this guy for making this type of content.
Kinda wish this one was better researched though. The argument on bulk makes no sense, for instance. The bulk of modern rhino's still keeps them save from predators, so its still useful. Not to mention the short-faced bear and woolly rhino didn't even overlap. Plus, he mentioned the whole thing about eyesight. But rhino's having bad eyes was already debunked in 2008.
@@megadracosaurus Rhinoceroses have a pretty mediocre eyesight at most. Which of course doesn't mean their vision is horrible you're right don't get me wrong. But the bulk isn't really that useful because of their already tough and thick skin. It still isn't as useless as he made it seem but you get the idea. The short faced bear and Woolley rhino indeed never crossed paths with each other you are 100% correct on that one. I mostly agree with your comment but keep in mind most people including myself aren't going to fully trust a UA-cam video. I still do research myself but this man's content is very informative even if not 100% factually correct.
Maybe the video was rushed because it have been less than 2 months for the upload so maybe It didn't have much time and had to upload to keep the numbers up
Maybe he found a sponsor while creating and rushed so he can get more budget for future vids
@@giannismh8242 I wouldn’t say mediocre at most. Look up the paper ‘Retinal ganglion cell density of the black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis): calculating visual resolution’. They have fairly decent vision by mammal standards. Not super amazing, but also not bad. The paper concluded a rhino can easily identify a human for example at a distance of about 200 meters. That’s honestly not as bad as people claim.
@@megadracosaurusDo you have a source about the eyesight thing? Every single website and paper i find online basically agrees that they have a very poor eyesight
Years later and yet the quality is the same if not better. Hats off for the dedication and storytelling.
This is awesome! Never thought that you could do a complete explanation of an animal, but videogame style, and make it even better. Immediately subbed!
Elephants tricking rhinos is so hilarious to me .
"Hey ! Look at this flying stick"
"WHAT IS THIS, I NEED TO GO!!!"
😂😂😂😂😂
I mean, it makes sense. That's a lotta shit to handle in your periphery when you're already focused in on the thing that's twice your size with twice your reach, possibly multiple of them unless it's a bull in musth, in which case the rhino is fucked either way.
@@collinbealyeah it makes sense, das why dey do dat.
I still think they deserve c tier. I think d and f should be reserved for organisms that legitimately either have issues surviving in the setting of the current meta, or ones that have strategies so specialized or inefficient that it’s perplexing how they made it this far. Rhinos really only have bad matchups against humans and elephants. And if it weren’t for the immense amount human players poaching them, they would be fine in the current meta.
But that's the point, humans are a major part of the current meta and rhinos are a terrible player choice in this meta.
@@gregoryfenn1462 that means elephants are low tier cause of their ivory tusks. which is not a useful ranking cause elephants are actually very adaptable animals with lots of useful tools. its just that humans choose which animal is bad in the meta.
Human griefers shouldn’t be counted as the meta. Humans can counter any play possible with enough preparation and they decided to pick out rhinos for their drops, not their weaknesses. Besides, just try to find a non-human large animal build that can counter cars and guns.
@@johnmarkson1990elephants have about 10x the population of rhinos because they are able to overcome their somewhat bad matchup with humans. Also living in herds, elephants are able to overcome the biggest weakness, defending respawns. Rhinos so easily losing their young and taking so long to respawn automatically puts them in D tier.
I'd argue D because their respawn rates are still a problem.
8:23 glad you finally acknowledged this instance of a rhino winning against a hippo.
I was also thinking C tier. D-tier feels a little low for a build that has next to no enemies that can damage it. Especially considering how the enemies that can damage it, are like the 2-3 highest tier opponents in the continent and possibly the world (elephants, humans, hippos).
Too bad they keep team killing one another due to how stupid they are, especially considering their respawn times and the fights they just choose to lose because they can’t comprehend that they are strong enough to defeat most of this enemies. Absolutely deserves D tier, garbage build for idiots, but is a cute animal in domestic setting surprisingly.
imo it should be even lower, the fact it has extremely low intelligence means it will always be competing for food and its young are extremely vulnerable even if its extremely hard to kill an adult. It also means it cant effectively group up as a team. This isnt helped by the fact it reproduces slowly. It seems like a build which is optimised around either making it to be either an alpha male or bust, or female and accept massive childbirth risk for life. Just is not ever going to be viable, similar to how pandas are dying out because they just dont wanna bang.
The rhino's bad eyesight and low intelligence often offsets the advantages that its tanky build would have otherwise brought:
- You're so bulky that you should be able to win fights and control territory right? Well too bad, you're so blind that you fail to recognize your surroundings to the point where you attack trees and rocks, or you lose resolve too easily in otherwise favourable interactions and get chased off.
- You're so tanky that you should have little trouble with escort missions right? Nope, your poor eyesight and intelligence means you cannot party up with other players to ease your burden, it means you cannot effectively control a defensive zone around yourself, and worst of all, it means you are so easily baited away from the escort or even get baited into teamkilling it yourself.
You're really only judging combat when you're using OoC hacks. Try a run-through without a second screen, and without using your previous run-through experience, and rhinos will not give you a fun game even half the time. Between grazing, constantly managing your sensory debuffs and chat aggroing you, and dealing with everything including humans? Rhinos aren't even mid tier, and that's without including the lack of a rear attack option.
CONGRATS ON THE STREAMY! One of the channels I will always recommend. Thanks for all the educating you do!
Im surprised that he didnt mention one of the most important parts of the Rhino: a Rhinos horn is made out of keratin, which is what makes up our hair and fingernails, although a rhinos horn is extremely extremely tough, it can actually BREAK because its not a skull mounted weapon like say an ibex or wildebeest. Fun fact this why sometimes you see a rhino with a hairy horn 😅
Hairy horn?🌚🌚
Id argue that’s a benefit to the Rhino rather than a flaw, as it means their main form of defense is able to be repaired if damaged
You're talking about a hairy horner?
Not to be confused with Harry Horner.
@@spindash64yes, i think thats a bonus point for using as a material for the horn. Although I don't think it's a good one considering regeneration of the horn takes way longer time than them breaking their horns by randomly attacking other classes
Thankfully their hp and mass stat still makes em quite formidable without their horn. I dont want to be the poor lioness player that messes up and gets trampled by an angry rhino player.
Can we have a tierzoo video where he goes into what matchups humans can win in a 1 on 1 bare handed combat?
We can't even agree on human vs human...
There is just too much variables like different martial art styles, environment, terrains, body types, strategies.
It would be fun to discuss sure but not very useful in any way...
Maybe a reddit tread would do?

@@staatsnoobNr1there was a guy who killed a mountain lion with his bare hands when it attacked him out hiking. wasnt even like a ufc fighter type guy or a very muscular dude, just like your normal outdoor bro.

I am wasting my money on Nebula so no surprise for me 😀
What is this channel, how the hell wasnt recommended before??? Thank you very much for this awesomness
You know it's a good year when TZ uploads
Their biggest problem is that the poor eyesight and hyper aggression get them into pointless fights. There's no advantage to be gained in attacking other large herbivores (unless it's two male rhinos fighting over the right to pass on genes.) But they're gonna do it anyway.
If you had one of the most powerful builds in the game, wouldn't you do the same?
@@galerinha Yeah there's no crime in just loving PVP.
small and agile rather than big tank and slow
@@Jabroniville PVP is only an option if you have a solid and quick re-spawn. Rhinos just take too long to re-spawn and the points are waaay to limited to risk your chara. Also, a just re-spawn rhino will have it hard to make it to its best.
Probably not the fault of the rhino players, Being aggressive as a large herbivore build is a really good strategy, but the downside of both lower intelligence [though not stupid] and poor eyesight means that they fail to make a correct perception check before a potential engagement. The rhino playerbases biggest problem is mostly thanks to some of the human playerbase.
Never thought how funny it was to see a rhino get scared of a "second potential threat" (stick) 7:25
Lovely video. The audio is a really underappreciated aspect of your videos - so thank you for taking the grueling hours to edit the audio in a pleasant and nostalgic manner ❤
Nothing gets me in a better mood than a new TierZoo video. Keep them coming!
Best nature documentary channel out there
This channel gives me nostalgia to the Wild Krattz from my PBS kids days. 💛 TV isn't as popular nowadays versus streaming websites, but I could imagine this as a TV show.
you watched wild krattz too? nice!
8:53 I like where the elephants just stand there and throw a stone to scare away the rhino
So intelligent. May be one part of intelligence is due to multi tasking nature of their trunk.
1:02 that dog freaking out was hilarious 😄
Another awesome video from TierZoo. Very educational, as per usual.
Speaking of which, I know I'm late saying this, but congratulations on winning a streammy in the educational category. You definitely earned it!😉👍🏾
rhino builds also suffered from a forum post a while back that erroneously claimed that rhino horn was some sweet lot and could be used as a potion buffer.
It's unfortunate that the rhino didn't put more points into vision, if they had they might have a better matchup against higher intelligence builds.
or at least be better for team play
I agree, rhino players would be less shy and scared if they could see better.
That and the constant sync killing of allies is why I stopped playing as them
Smh, had they done that and maybe spec-ed into higher intelligence they'd be in B - A tier
I didn't know what size a Rhino was but it's attitude really makes itself seem bigger than it is
And another amazing video man, I just can't get enough of these videos!
The Rhino's biggest weakness is that it took the "Valuable Drop" flaw. The Devs were actually going to give Rhinos a buff by making humans farm them but the idea didn't catch on.
Because the environmental activists won't allow it!
Considering getting rhinos to spawn require a DC 25 Animal Handling check.
that and low propagation rate so there isn't ever many of them, and it's sad if there is less all the time
Good luck making a fence that holds one of those in... I don't think the game engine supports those kinds of stationary barrier assets...
@@CollinMcLean It's been done. Again, by humans, but it's been done.
I want Rhinos to be viable, they can be such a fun class to play when things go your way, but the weaknesses are quite rough
yeah, they'd be absurdly powerful if their eyesight was good enough to more easily discern what's a threat and what isn't.
words cannot express how much I love the use of the eyewitness video theme. my childhood
This channel is the best example of something being fun and educational. Lots of people have tried making education fun, but it always feels a little forced, or they sacrifice details in the name of fun.
This channel is so fun and so educational I don’t even realize I’m learning. I look forward to every upload on this channel, it’s great.
I love this channel - I don't think I've ever been more interested in learning about anything even mildly productive lmao
You should change the “respawn” to “spawn” as respawn is the same individual that comes back to life and that doesn’t happen. Spawning would be a better fit as you can use it when a player is spawning into the game.
This was my first run-in w your channel and I think it's awesome how you throw in the RPG game element to it. Love it! Sub'd
Your one of today's 10,000! How awesome to discover TierZoo for the first time. You're going to love binging all the videos! ❤
Yeah definitely check out some more videos. are humans OP is good but you cant go wrong with tierzoo
Why RPG is more like a fighter-game description
Let us not forget that their horn can actually puncture a female during mating. I learned that in the zoo. By the zookeeper. It happened before. So before they put the 2 together for some chunky loving, then they had to reduce the length of his horn. Else she might suffer death. That is also a very very bad weakness, death by snu snu.
"Betrayal" sound effect
9:12 is such an amazing and menacing shot
Love how the rhino had pretty much the same moveset a Rhyhorn could learn (even if it was completely not optimal). Thats awesome
6:36
Rhinos be like:
What throat, who said a neck was needed
They be having their mouth connected straight to their stomach 😂😂
Recent datamines have shown the rhino’s eyesight isn’t actually as bad as we originally thought, and the overly aggro behavior is likely just par for the course for the kind of players a large armored tank build with a giant sword on its face tends to attract 😅
Time to binge watch tierzoo again
Bro no way that elephant painted itself at 7:22
Nah, they do get quite artistic sometimes 😂
Elephants are capable of painting with their trunk, however, most of the tests and showcases that you see in videos or zafaris are because the people make money and they demand and train the animals to do that. It is sad but at the same time it shows that elephants have the dexterity to do it.
There is so much effort that goes into these. it really is amazing. Me and my friends will passionately argue about this type of thing. Then we'll watch these videos and think we're idiots. Oh shit didn't think of that. Genius, no body does this like you
What did we do to deserve tierzoo and casual geographic on the same day ❤️
Hey Tier Zoo, long time subscriber over here, thanks again for the amazing content.
I wanted to comment because I really liked your energy this episode, I don't know if it's just me but it seems you went for a way more fast paced and emotion packed narration, making the video a bunch more engaging! Thanks again for your work, take care.
Just visited local zoo today. Out local Rhino is the one me and my kid always look forward to seeing the most. No matter the season and the weather, rhino is always chill, there is something very comforting in observing him.
I've yet to play on the Africa server myself, let alone as a build that interacts with oxpeckers, but I could have sworn I'd heard about having oxpeckers on you being a mixed blessing--or even a problem. While they can certainly serve as a lookout, I've heard claims that oxpecker players tend to prioritize eating engorged ticks (i.e. ticks that have already done as much damage as possible to their hosts) in order to maximize the experience they gain from each tick they eat. I've even heard some claims that oxpecker players will peck at open wounds on their "perches," slowing the rate at which they recover from said wounds.
That _Eyewitness_ music never fails to hit home
MY DUDE I HEARD IT TOOO!!!!!
A marsupial tier list would be awesome! I’d love to see what you think about Tasmanian Devils especially
This video just randomly popped up on my feed, and I have to say, I LOVE the style you went with. Talking about an animal like it's a character build in a game is the perfect way to present a nature video XD Also makes me think of all the ridiculous "Best build" videos that people make as if it's the only way to play.
Have you explored the rest of TierZoo's channel? They have made a lot of "Are (build) OP?", and for anyone serious about The Outside, its definitely worth checking out
The game, outside incase you didn’t know is pretty good I do think human build is a little op however there intelligence stat is so op it can buff all there other stats
The issue is, some of the content mentioned in this video are proven to be untrue or flat out misinformation
Examples:
- Rhinos are not as blind as assumed, they have an average of 200m range of vision and are on par with cat vision, while being better than a rabbit's. 200m vision range is also alot better than a majority of humans today (which wear spectacles).
- Low intelligence is not proven at all, and the rhino has been doing fine for millions of years charging at things to make sure they don't get near it. Predators distracting animals to get at their babies is a common strategy used against elephants, wildebeest, deer, antelopes, etc.
- Rhinos are not "exceptionally suited" to cold climates, the wooly rhino is the same size as an average white rhino and it did not encounter any short-faced bears. This can be easily googled or read from Wikipedia, but TZ still got it wrong.
- The Ice Age was also not more dangerous than modern day, most of the Ice Age animals are an extension of modern Africa's animals but with more biodiversity.
- Rhinos didn't evolve into Paraceratherium, Paraceratherium comes from a way earlier diverging branch called Rhinocerotoidea. Early ancestors of Paraceratherium resemble horses superficially more than resembling today's rhinos.
This is not a good outlook when you have a large viewerbase and can easily affect scicomm, when information easily found on Wikipedia is also gotten wrong.
Whist I agree that they are a bit lower on the tier list just 2 quick things and that we’re worth mentioning. Rhinos have an excellent sense of both hearing and smell, with evidence to suggest that can can distinguish between others of there own kind and other predator species. While not enough to set off bad eyesight and low intelligence I do believe it mitigates that disadvantage somewhat. This along with the fact that there only bad matchup is with the largest land animal in the game and humans makes me believe rhinos at least deserve high C tier. Overall great video, very informative and entertaining. Good job my friend
Rest in peace to the white rhino, humanity didn’t do you well…
Would like to see a video about if hyenas OP. even though he explained it in the underrated video, i would like to see a more indepth video about the traits, advantages, disadvantages, and where they place in the meta currently
He's been on a tear of African mammal videos lately and the hyena has kind of lingered over the proceedings the whole time. Definitely seems like a thing to discuss sooner rather than later.
They're quite a good build, especially with pack hunting. The only unfortunate thing is most hyena players are incels, and blood hunt other creatures. EG, munch crunching on DEEZ NU-

Those clips of elephants tossing things to spook rhinos are hilarious, especially the one at 8:54 it looks so premeditated on the part of the elephants, and the one that threw the rock looks like it's paying real close attention to whether it needs to throw another one :D
Hey TierZoo, a fantastic tutorial guide as always! I have a suggestion to make- The axolotl. I had seen a few videos on them a few years ago and they absolutely blew my mind.
You've forgotten to mention the 'Unicorn'-variant, although I understand since it is very rarely seen and needs very special conditions to come close to contact humans. It also usually lives in another biome, so I hope you will have a follow up informational video about them, maybe around end of March or start of April would be good.
Honestly a unicorn sounds like a truly OP rhino. It would have the kicks to protect the rear, still have the advantages of the horn on the front and the armor and hopefully better eyesight.
I'm imagining something approximately like the cross between a Clydesdale or Shire and an Indian Rhino.
Now that would be a terrifyingly majestic creature
@@matthewblackwelder6487Unicorn would have a significant hit to Defense though, especially with the Frail Leg Bones (FLB) debuff common to the Equine meta, but this would at least in part be mitigated by its levels in Divine Magic if it specc'd into Restoration.
