whats sad is that non-TDS video's that Eggrypted makes usually get little views, which is a shame really as TDS is mostly still and silent, without much possible content
I think the reason hanger has special messages for Apostle is well, so first Apostile's description says they were almost consumed by the void or something, which means they must have been a demon like Hanger, and Hanger wants you back.
From how I see it, Apostle basically turned away from the Reikgons before they completely succumbed to the curse, however their status as a Reikgon Shadow still remains. Rather than tormenting Apostles, the Hanger had called Apostles traitors as they are working against Reikgons despite being a Reikgon themselves.
@@Snillager We can go a tad bit deeper an apostle is essentially a reikgon who has near full control of their power so the reason hanger calls you a traitor or heretic is because despite having the power of reikgons you still chose to help the people who are trying to kill the reikgons so essentially the same as yours
Used this with some of my pals, with 4 of us at once, we managed to spawn 8 of those demons and everytime we marked a single target, ALL of them went for it
Imagine being a scav in a post apocalyptic world, and seeing those reikgon creatures wandering around, being all powerful, one day you are sent to fight the agency, and then see 8 of those reikgon creatures sprinting toward you all at once
the cool thing about the perk is you can actually have diferent playstyles with it. for example, the way i play is as a backlines and i keep using my ranged attack on enemies, since the shadow hunters life steal condemned enemies along with you
Eh that's literally just letting you're dave died but it's you're choice what can I do? Anyways I mostly Frontline since I wanna save my chil- I mean my Dave from dying :D
a few tips: if your minions are lit on fire they are screwed and will die cuz fire damage is over powered your hand is classified as a axe so you can chop wood, I use it as my main way of scrap as im too slow to use scrappers. when the minions are at half hp they will become immune to gun fire for a few seconds if there are 2 apostles and you mark someone ALL of the minions will head toward that marked enemy regardless of the owner this can seriously screw someone over if they need hp. to get the perk just bullet dump a sickler (the guy who is in chains and is crying) with and gun doing more then 850 damage in one mag, you will be able to kill the sickler before they go SCP-96 on you you are not going to solo the final wave with only your stick hand and the funni demon, stop trying to
other way to get it is by using riskrunnner and stuffing the sickler with bullets when it get to 65% or above, which if u do this then you wont have the hassle of needing to find a gun, you do need to find ammo which is fairly easy Edit: this strat only 100% works if the sickler is still chained beforehand, if its already out, then ur screwed like 85% of the time
@@thirdy9530 if you have good tracking and the sickler doesn't run into any scavs you can still kill it i mean that's how i did it a scav poked the sickler then got two kills which is already nearly impossible to kill but if ur lucky you can make the sickler get's stuck on the stairs for a few seconds also this happend at outpost just to make sure u don't get confused and just before you die you can kill the sickler before being 1 shot by a random scav if you're very unlucky
Here's a fun fact: When apostle summons a downed player, their death or death effects will be replicated once the Scyther, Scythe reikgon, or team summon dies, so if a immolator accidentally reached 100% in his ability or exploded in blazes for his team, if you summon it and then it dies, it clearly has fire particles on it (or if they commited neck knife you can see the bleeding particles before the fall on the ground), and your Scythers dont get damaged by traps but can get damaged by thrown items like dynamite, impact grenades, m67 grenades excluding throwing axe, or traps you have triggered, obvious traps are dynamite and flare since it attracts enemies so be careful, also my perks for apostle are [Tormented] since it heightens its hp by 20 so you get a free of charge summon of said Scyther, then [Fearless] for the gun damage and trap damage reduction, and [Lone wolf] since you cant aim guns / fire arms (Hip fire ranged weapons 65% more accurately.) interchangable with [Reliable] Performs reloads with firearms 65% Faster, Faster chambering
Replace fearless with survivor, helps alot if you lost health on last night and you'll get to heal next looting phase. You're already tanky enough as base apostle
Well, i would recommend replacing one of the gun related perks with Manic. Due to a unique interaction with Thegulias hand. Landing heavy attacks with the hand inflict Condemned. Basically, you heal if you (and only you) kill someone that you have hit with a heavy melee attack. Apostle can actually play as something of a compensator for a bad team. Being more passive when paired with a competent team and active when paired with a terrible team. For equipment, I recommend matches or cigs. Matches act as a pocket crude bandage, prevented bleeds from siphoning off too much of your HP. Cigs naturally work better the worse your team is.
theres another pros for this perk aswell as an apostle, you will take a heavily reduced melee damage from reikgons for an example, hidden most of the time hidden can do around 125 (not even a backstab) to agents which can basically instakill them except for zealot, arbiter, berserker and executioner but as an apostle, you will take like 2 times less damage than usual, hidden deals less than 80 to you and you can have a chance to survive a backstab from it, which has around 250 base damage normally
Here is one of my ideas for what an apostle is. An apostle is the result of you killing a sickler. Then you kinda absorb the sickler's abilities. That is why you have all this cool stuff. All your cool stuff hurts you though because your body detects a foreign object such as your sword hand. So when you take it out your body is attacking itself since it does not register your sword hand as a part of your body. It also explains all the other reasons you take damage. Also, the reason why you called an apostle is that when you search the word up, it is the title for Catholics who did an important mission, such as founding a mission. Your important mission was slaying a sickler. This theory also supports the description which goes like "absorbed and drawn into occult and yet you still live to tell the tale" you absorb a sickler and survive it. Yet again this entire theory is contradicted by the "drawn to occult' part which could be you are a former rekigon cultist. It is also contradicted by the fact you use theourgia's hand (I called it sword hand earlier because I can't spell the name) and can look human. That could also mean you are a former skinner. This is also supported by the fact hangers call you a "traitor" and whatnot.
completely wrong. apostle was a member of the cult who contorl and/or summon the "demons". but apostle managed to escape the cult by unknown ways. thats why u can summon and control "demons". also ur idea just makes no sense cuz every perk is a different character from eachother so if like u killed ur sickler as idk a risk-runner thenthe risk-runner would be the apostle but hes clearly not.
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa0It's not a blood sacrifice since you aren't affected by bleeding afterwards, it's likely an immune response to making use of the dormant virus inside you to summon the shadows and use the arm. There's a theory that some have where the virus that all agents are affected with can lead someone to become a shadow through some unknown method, and that the cultists were using the agency lab to try to induce this effect in themselves. Given that their leader has the same powers as a shadow hunter, I'm inclined to believe they succeeded, and that the Apostle was someone that went through some form of this procedure and went rouge afterwards for unknown reasons. My personal hypothesis is that since the powers aren't directly visible besides the spikes in their back, they were discriminated against and dispelled, maybe even being seen as a fake believer. They took this to heart and joined the agency, taking part in the Eden 227 mission to bring down their old group and prevent anyone else from falling victim to the fate the Apostle suffered.
I like that the apostle perk is mainly inspired by another game that they've made - anomalous activity, specifically the anomaly/subject who has to track down the task force and kill it
apostle lore funnies (im late) Apostle is basically a Reikgon (Half-Reikgon?) that aborted the transformation from Human to a High-ranking Reikgon midway, then defected into the Agency. Remember that Reikgons were humans infected by some hate parasite (Look at the corpses) that turns them into monsters that feed on negativity (super edgy) Source: I made it the fu- Just kidding from a friend of Red (Archeximus)
tormented can replace manic if you want more hp to condemn ennemies from afar but manic is better so you can condemn ennemies using heavy attack easier and also help out dave more
quick an easy way to kill sickler btw for the quest, make sure u have drifter (kill 40 enemies without them noticing you, throwing knifes help, and u need them anyway for this) use drifter plus throwing knifes. once u see sad boi, walk up to him in drifter f, hit 4 times, throwing knife 3 times and if u hit everything, it should kill
You can also get another friend with Drifter to help you farm for the Sickler. Two full Drifter rotations is enough to kill one, although it should be noted only one Drifter can get the kill credit. Also, a single Riskrunner can solo the Sickler with its ability if it’s at a high percentage (preferrably 80% or higher). Empty the gun onto the Sickler without enraging it.
@@Snillager for the first part with the 2 drifters, wouldn't be too hard ig other than getting lucky with the sicklers and if i remember right (i havnt used any of the free perks in a bit, i mainly use drifter with some apostle here and there) riskrunner is minigun man?
Apostle is good, most people just dont manage hp well or even use the perk as a whole due to too much dmg they take, which you guessed it, can be refilled really easily, again apostle is good people just dont know how to play him
I play well with the Apostle Perk but there are better players than me with the Perk I love this Perk it's my favorite I will do everything to completely dominate this Perk and be one of the best players With the Apostle perk lol.
Getting a kill on the sickler may be hard, but if you have an AR and your hivemind, its suprisingly easy Also a quick recap of the vid You get lots of buffs and cons, your inmune to the hanger roasts, you got a guy uses a sycthe named Dave, you got the skinner's arm, use it and you lose hp, killing enemy with your curse will gain you hp and Dave hp too. Your mission is to become a meatshield and kill the gun scavs I may missed some idfk
you can spam explosiges to kill the sickler easier, i used just 1 remote explosive and just 2 shots from the black revolver gun (forgot name mb) and the sickler died
@@MTF-Alpha-9.Commander nah, you said that the shadow demons and the person who died are completely seperate entities, and is trying to cheer you up. I said they're the same person, and retained their appearance throughout their resurrection
grab an I4 and your good to go lol (Abuse the infinite item glitch while you still can) press drop before quickly using it to use the item while the item falls to the ground, able to be used again. Also some things don’t work but infection and stims work just fine. No cocktail tho
the hanger it says traitor and faker meaning you were once a demon...... but now cured somehow. that arm looks like a skinner's right arm so you either ripped it off a skinner or you were a skinner but freed from the curse
According to the Hanger responses, it states that you were once apart of the "Reikgon" cult, and you betrayed it (with the Apostle powers) and sided with the Agency
@@slayeruncharted587 yes thats what i mean but the hand is a skinner that you have im thinking that you were a skinner once with powers but we will never know :(
Finnally somebody who knows how to play apostle and just doesn’t use guns in my opinion apostle is meant to be a upclose person while also using shadow clones
i think why Hanger calls u a traitor or heretic is that it thought you were one of them, cultist, going against their belief and siding with the agents.
Apostle is one of the strongest classes in the game, especially since now melee classes get obliterated with the massive melee scav buffs anyways some tips for new and aspiring apostle failures(just kidding guys dont kill me): It is fine to stand back and let Dave tank, Apsotle is built like Zealot, tanky but has no form of bleed/cripple crutch like laz or arbiter spamming curses is viable as they stun and deal some form of damage, but without Dave its not very powerful as each curse takes 3 hp Dave only has 150 hp, but has a massive gun damage reduction, meaning Dave requires constant curse micro throughout the game Use SANC Matchsticks, as you can heal back to full after summoning Dave Pulling out your melee can be heavily detrimental as unless you have a Dave you are brutally weak Dave has 150 hp, but heals 15 per condemned kill, which makes it a great tank if you can properly micro curse, from long or short range Only the heavy hit for hand inflicts curse, but after cursing it is worth it to use light combo's as some enemies can withstand two heavy hits, such as crowbar and pitchfork scavs even without a dave, if you have a shotgun, you can inflict curse on dangerous enemies and then pump their head(that sounds so wrong) with lead for a net gain of +12 hp(stonks) what i usually use(traits): impatient, dependable, fearless is it a bad trait set? probably. Do i care? *No.*
Melee classes are already a pain to deal with since your melee doesn't go through multiple enemies and when a group of advanced melee scav comes, you get parried or shove once you're dead meat
@@mahiru9114 especially with a shitty wifi as your hitbox just extends (need to parry before getting near the scav, cant shove the scav without taking damage, will get hit unless you are very far from the scav)
ok ok but do u know how to use the scent ability cuz i saw a user leading me to a sickler which was a human so i defintly know that theres a smelling ability for the apostle this video really helped me out. :>
Due to the fact that i need rations for theurogias hand, i literally murder the entire scav popularity except castle during the loot phase (i usually get 5 colas) and 1 beans
There are a lot of way you can kill Sickler I know some of the easy way you can do *Note Sickler has 800 HP 1.Use Risk Runner and spray your machine gun at Sickler EZ 2.Use Drifter If you hit it 4 times (Light 90x3 Heavy 150) and throwing knife in cloaking state it will deals 150x3 damage = 870 (If you miss 1 knife you can still hit him for a few times) 3.Use Vagabond Slash and Run 8 dog tag recommended 4.Use Automatic gun or Spam gun (Ex. AKM, Hi-capa dual, etc.) shoot him to dead 5.Use Executioner (Perk) get a lot of bounty (40+ I guess) and Firerier axe then hold left till it's dead 6.Teamwork: Ask your friend to help dealing damage to Sickler and then last shot it (Hopefully they don't kill it lol) 7.Let your base turret help to deal some damage and try to last shot it (I do not recommend this. If you want to then may the god bless you...)
@@skell6134 Hi-capa does 40-45 damage so you will need around 20 shots(in the head of course). if you not sure that you will hit all head I recommend you to use dual Hi-capa because it faster and more forgiving for your mistakes. With traits(paranoid) and perk(artillerist) you can make the gun become automatic pistol
The SANC matchsticks are a great choice, as you can go back to full hp right after summoning a hellwalker, or even save 20 hp if the conditions are met Or your good ol koldera to tank more dmg
i got mine by using 10 blitzer bombs on it when it was chained, i was planning to use more but it unchained and went after me so i exploded along with it, worth it
everytime i play apostle I either never use my melee or die bec i equipped my melee out of muscle memory and die because of it I don't even need to die i just get damaged
Apostle isnt bad perk but we got much better like mindflayer or ghost spammer For example yes he can sumon demon but it can beat evrything or easily die
apostle is not meant for looting in public lobby in priv you need to loot sum becouse having nothing at wave 5 and all of your shadow hunters die is not a great plan in public servers you should not loot just kill every possible scav just be smart with gun scavs you dont want your dave dying and keep your daves alive by killing scavs without heavy attacking them or hold f be a good pet owner dont send your daves to a large group of guns scavs during wave phase plus daves are very good at killing almost every reikgon enemy skinner ez hanger ez hidden ez sickler is pretty hard apostle is a very hard to play perk but extremly op in the right hands those hands being my hands im a apostle main i think thats it🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
oh no! not so fast nicky... you are NOT dying on me! COME HERE BOY BE MY LİTTLE SHADOW HUNTER AND ACCEPT YOUR NEW LİFE muahahahahhaah! that is the perk APOSTLE for the kids who love basic explenations that really dont make much sense sometimes!
Kill a sickler, you have to kill him and not just deal dmg to him, i recommend the riskrunner with over 75% ammo and just gun him down while he is chained/unprovoked, if he is provoked then you will most of the time fail
