Fun Fact, on the last mission of Act 1 where you close the mine; you can see at the start of the map barrels labeled “T-2” showing that the first team to go there wasn’t to investigate the mine but the test the chemicals. Pelisaro probably died when T-2 failed to stop the ridden and we were sent to clean up the mess
@@ConorJReilly They added dialogue to Dr. Rodgers about this and I updated my info for the next video, but I definitely missed it originally. Great find!
@@barrontrump3943 I mean its like left 4 dead, but left 4 dead has more longevity obviously. B4B is fun tho I play it all the time to try new card loadouts. Once I figured out cards is when I started really having fun. (I am very dumb that is why I didn't understand the cards)
exactly what i was looking for, well done and well written my friend! you earned a sub! edit: seeing all the comments saying "well done" after i post mine is very nice to see lol
This is so cool. I always wondered what the other cleaners were doing during the opening missions of act 1. Now even more, I'm hoping for DLC one day that will include an "Act 1.5" if you will, that shows the events of this potentially alternative cleaner team. Maybe even something for Heng and Sharice.
Thanks! There's definitely a lot of subjects I'm interesting in covering. These types of videos take a lot of work so it all depends on what people want to see, so I appreciate the suggestion!
well fvckin done my friend! well done! perfect "full story" intro to the game. if someone asked me about it and had time, id show them this. and then show them how fun sharice is melee carded up.
@@darkstarhc imo, with only medpro and the rest all melee cards, you can actually see how she made it out of the ridden hives. With the defib that instantly revives you and med pro, you will literally get capped by a crusher get up and have no damage. You will think some dev is playing games or a hacker. Nope, its defib and med pro.
@@ravensnflies8167 This sounds really cool. I've only ever played melee as holly or evangelo. I wanted to like sharice, but I found that most builds shoe-horn her into mutation killing. I've tried those builds and always found it to be unsustainable probably due to a combination of my lack of skill and the lack of survivability in the build. Are there any other tips that you would recommend for a sharice build?
@@Atsuru one thing that I find very helpful and idk if it's just the way the ridden are coded or what, coupled with the fact that you can hit them all through walls but if you're holding a doorway, don't put your xhairs in the doorway. Keep them on the door frame or even swing at the wall, killing g them before they even have line of sight on you to hit you. Also, if there's a snitch event and you run up and want to melee a snitch, you can kill it as long as you sneak around behind it and it never has line of sight. A horde will spawn but it won't fail the objective. Line of sight has a BIG impact on the way ridden act it seems. Hope this helps😛
Hearing the entire history of story made me think that this is Gears of War. Maybe could have went a different direction that a worm but it's an original take, I'll give it that.
Thanks for checking it out! Working on the children of the worm video but there's so many small details to cover lol. But you're right, there's still a bunch of questions to be answered!
@@darkstarhc : ) btw the Halloween update looking nice they kinda change how they used to show the hp and finally bots use the skins we choose for them (x
This game is so good and has only gotten better with every update. It's a shame some folk were turned away from it because of the source engine cult review bombing it. One of my favorites of 2021, and still going strong.
Thanks for doing this. There doesn't seem to be any good sources for the lore of B4B, in particular I couldn't find anything on who the Children of The Worm cult even are and what the connection is to Prophet Dan.
Hey! You should join the Turtle Rock Studios Discord. They have a lore channel. The person in charge of the wiki is super active there and they know their stuff, as well as a bunch of others who like to discuss it
Hey:) I'd say 95% or more is from either in-game dialogue/content or official B4B media, there were only some small details I had to infer. For instance, it's not exactly clear that Ren was actively keeping Rodgers a secret, but based on Ren's views about the war and Phillips' dialogue at the end of Act 2, I think it's safe to assume Ren had agreed to keep the secret.
Man I really hope they get around to a second game and take in the hate comments like adding a vs campaign mode and making it a horror movie theme. I honestly believe if they hadn’t said it’s a spiritual left for dead things might have gone differently
lol made me think there for a minute 🤔 lmao but pretty sure the idea is that the cleaners' flesh etc. can still be used to feed mutations and nests, but cleaners aren't going to get infected just by standing near a river
man the story is bland and quite generic with mostly boring characters and the base game final boss fight is short boring and simple, im especially disappointed with this dlc, its a 6/10, the finale was insultingly bad, hives are far better plus, you must've put a bit of this together yourself (i dont blame you as this game is a mess) as the hives are in the base game story so they are taking place DURING the game not AFTER i can only hope they get it in a good place before the end of season pass, because you know they are dropping it after the season pass content is fulfilled nothing against your video obviously, was a good round up for a poor story
It's definitely a valid interpretation to say that the tunnels have been in the story the whole time. However, based on Sharice's recollection of events it seems that she's been off doing her own thing until recently. I'm interpreting the tunnels appearing in current levels as indicative of the fact that the tunnels are appearing in the same areas around Finleyville and Evansburgh, not necessarily that they are there at the same time as everything else that happened. That is to say that they are in those leves as non-canon gameplay features. In a similiar way we now have the cultists in all the orignial levels, which I think more indicates that we're seeing retaliation from the cult post Act 5, not that they've been around the whole time and Phillips or the cleaners never cared. Had we known about the cultists during the events of Acts 1-3 I think Phillips woul've acted a lot differently. But in any case, I think the writers intentionally make the timeline a bit ambiguous so they can get away with a linear story that overwrites gameplay elements onto itself. I appreciate your kind words about my video!
Learn anything new? Did I get anything wrong? Lmk, this video was a lot of fun and a lot of work!
The skull Totem supply lines are run by the cultists

My man, this was wild. A+. Can’t wait to see the break down of the CotW DLC story
Thanks! Stay tuned!!
God damn the lore in this game is amazing and for a zombie game its something original
True, they're elevating the genre!
@@darkstarhc cope
@@barrontrump3943 cope for what?
@@jamespaul6315 there's no real reward for completing higher difficulty levels. Game is okay at best. Still beats modern CoD imo

AH thank you!! I write fanfic for this game and the pregame history has been super hard to piece everything together. Super helpful!
Where can we read your stories?
exactly what i was looking for, well done and well written my friend! you earned a sub!
edit: seeing all the comments saying "well done" after i post mine is very nice to see lol
I have almost 1000 hours in this game and have skipped every cinematic every time lol. Thx for the video!
Such a well made video. You sir have gained a new subscriber!
You're underrated asF, you need more exposure.
Great video. Definitely some of the story gets lost because it's told during actual gameplay so it's nice to clear up a few things.
Thx! I definitely found a bunch I originally missed by just playing lol

Not a bad idea! I'm suprised the initial diner attack wasn't a free demo mission lol
love the editing here Darkstar!! You appeared on my home screen and I thought I'd give your video a listen while I work.
It was a good choice!
Appreciate it!
This is SO interesting! Love it! Could you consider making a similar video of the cleaners, and what we know about them?
Thanks! There's definitely a lot of subjects I'm interesting in covering. These types of videos take a lot of work so it all depends on what people want to see, so I appreciate the suggestion!
Omg they actually have content planned
XD
Awesome video dude! Been playing the game since day 1 and loved the way you covered the story 👌🏻
very well done. I enjoyed this!
Very professionally done. Great work.

Great summary pre-act 5 drop!
Awesome story, i had no idea dr.rogers was dead until now. thanks again!
Glad you liked it!
Hearing the entire history of story made me think that this is Gears of War. Maybe could have went a different direction that a worm but it's an original take, I'll give it that.
This game was made by the same people that made Left For Dead 1&2
Very well done. Looking forward to you doing one of these for children of the worm.
Thanks!
OmG tysm I like how u describe B4B like its a movie

It is I love it I play often if u have ps5 and wanna play my ps name is king_inferno1985
Fantastic video ! Well done 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Deffo getting a sub 👍🏻
Great video
So well done!!
i hope one of the future dlc's adds a 8 player raid like mode, ithink that would be an awesome thing to have
Havent played this in a minute but watchin this makes me wanna play
Great video, thoroughly enjoyed this deep dive 💯
Psyched you liked it:)
Would love for you to cover the river of blood DLC lore as well!
I take it back. I would love if you just covered the whole story and every other game story. Great video
@@mob5613 lol it's awesome you like these videos! I'll keep making them as long as you guys want them!
The one thing I never understood is the GW bridge, it connects Jersey and Manhattan, what were they doing over there?
Fantastic job 👌
This is a late comment but Evansburgh is basically Pittsburgh. So cool!
Thanks for doing this. There doesn't seem to be any good sources for the lore of B4B, in particular I couldn't find anything on who the Children of The Worm cult even are and what the connection is to Prophet Dan.
Glad you like it! Looking forward to doing more about what we learn in the new content.
because nobody really cares bar the odd person, not enough people play it
Hey! You should join the Turtle Rock Studios Discord. They have a lore channel. The person in charge of the wiki is super active there and they know their stuff, as well as a bunch of others who like to discuss it
Not bad pretty entertaining my dude keep it up
It's the 30th and how come this aint dropped yet smh
I am just super glad they didn't pitch this story to Netflix or Disney to have them butcher another story with limitless potential. B4B is the best!
XD
I like this , hey let me know if you ever wanna co-lab , I stream here on the tube might be fun lmk ! Good stuff man good stuff
did you make most of the story up? like filling in the blanks type of shit?

If only the game did a job of a job as you did explaining the story
Good idea
I feel 10x more confident in soft soft, thanks!
is this can play offline or only online
If the cleaners are immune and the worms wont bite them, then why are the "zombies" hostile to them?
lol made me think there for a minute 🤔 lmao but pretty sure the idea is that the cleaners' flesh etc. can still be used to feed mutations and nests, but cleaners aren't going to get infected just by standing near a river
I want them to find Hoffman's dad!
Dude almost ran out of breath talking at 0:50
XD I gotta write shorter sentences
The Strain?
how unlock locked card of new dlc?
why this dlc have so low rating at steam? at the whole game too?
I don’t trust Phillips 🤔
Btw, U did a FANTASTIC job on this presentation…. Thank you for all of ur hard work and time 💯🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I appreicate it, and glad you liked it!
The cow is dead meat
Hey everyone, I feel disappointed in myself for tNice tutorials having to be the case, but I feel the need to be honest. Life stuff got down hard
Play back for blood
Couldn't you explain it in 5 Minutes?
to bad dev pukked plug on the game
The story sucks and barely grabs my attention. Thanks for the video to explain.
PЯӨMӨƧM 🌈
The game is still garbage. And they still haven't fixed the lag problem on ps4. Ridiculous
lags on pc too
man the story is bland and quite generic with mostly boring characters and the base game final boss fight is short boring and simple, im especially disappointed with this dlc, its a 6/10, the finale was insultingly bad, hives are far better
plus, you must've put a bit of this together yourself (i dont blame you as this game is a mess) as the hives are in the base game story so they are taking place DURING the game not AFTER
i can only hope they get it in a good place before the end of season pass, because you know they are dropping it after the season pass content is fulfilled
nothing against your video obviously, was a good round up for a poor story
