DCUO: Gadgets Updated In-Depth Guide 2021 

Chill does might melee do more damge then might range?

I've uninstalled the game but still watch your videos because I appreciate the attention to detail and the amount of work you put into these guides. Maybe I'll install when DCUO 2 comes out.

Do Update for Munitions please, Acrobat

Wanna ask does the extended supercharge chest mod and supercharge head mods work tgt? Or only either of them works even if they are both equipped. This question bugged me for a while.

@@e_hs They do yes, the supercharge you gain back stacks with the head mod and chest. The only thing that doesn't stack is the 200 scrap of the soul cloak and the chest mod.

I do that also a lot of the O.Gs Do

Stop complaining and get good honestly people that complain kill the game that's why theres no pvp just learn to clip powers and you'll be good at dpsing

@@Silvercrypto11 he makes a valid point this has nothing to do with being good, you can have two sick players one flight one superspeed i think you can guess which one would do more dmg, pvp was also a completely separate issue

@@blue9847 I don't know why Juan tried to use those comparisons

@@Silvercrypto11 "just learn to cheat" This is why no one does pvp. Clipping is cheating just like taking advantage of animation canceling is. R6 banned 1000s of players for taking advantage of accidental animation cancels. Just because devs mess up or servers can't handle it doesn't mean it's within TOS. I'm glad Ubisoft finally did something right in setting a new standard that just because something is broken doesn't mean you should take advantage of it.

@@Mars_junior Clipping is all the fun in dcuo. Take that away and you have brainless simulator. This game is not r6.

Super speed is the only one to use with prec because of working durvish cancel

@@Pe3We3Man 99 percent of builds require super speed. As a new player, It would be nice to see alternatives to what IMHO is a 💩 movement only taken for a specific skill.

I'm currently on an acrobatics character myself so I'd like to know as well.

He do theres like a lot of people watching him for some tipz

Way more like for what play in a game all day and posting videos lol yea give this man a medal not people that do like the NHS ffs it's a game

@@Hudsonvanlife are you good

Yea I am good thanknun

well they nerfed revamped gadget, battle drone used to explode and be useful as a battery but now its just mainstream like the others with a shield

Nah be I just troll on my toon. Been off cause skill points are not thing for players and they kicked me out a raid. Imagine being 25mil to the 2nd highest is 9mil. Told the group get skill points got kicked stayed trolling 🤣

gadgets will be better in melee and single target but not in ranged aoe.

they certainly do :(

Gadgets is probably the hardest dps power in the game lol all the clipping it’s fun

@@little_error295 I been trying to learn gadgets troll u think as I’m starting out I should focus on a buff troll or regular power troll?

@@Prime-ri5oe honestly for Trollingh I’m not the guy to ask 😅 kind of a 1 trick pony for dps

@@little_error295 oh ok bro I’m the same tbh but people been tellin me to learn troll which I can see why so I been trying it out. Thanks anyways tho 🙏🏽

True it’s the most consistent power throughout dcuo history

😂😂😂

you jump cancel the summon of suppresser turret to clip powers. If you hold it and summon the turret yes it would destroy robot sidekick but if you cancel it before it does RSK will be fine. Also make sure RSK is on your stealth loadout as well so when you go into stealth it doesn't auto destruct

@@ObsidianChill But when you jump cancel, does it actually do the damage though? I tried jump cancelling and I don't see a tick of it doing any damage. Neither does it do any power interactions.

@@JanahanBalasingham you don't get any damage from turret if you cancel it, the point is to cancel the longer animation of other abilities with turret to save time

@@ObsidianChill Ah. I get it now. I thought it was something that still does damage even if it is not active. Thanks.

Yes, still valid but you are correct to have a easier time maintaining the rotation with power mods over health

@@ObsidianChill Thank you! Are the loadouts shown in your video, better than the loadouts of iEddyGaming‘s Gadget video for might?

Hey can someone help me out I’m still lost as to how to set my loadout i keep trying different thing but it’s seems like you have to have all the things in this vid to be able to compete

health for blue and vitalization for yellow

@@ObsidianChill Thank you, I appreciate it.

for gadgets you don't need solar amplifier, gadgets doesn't need to use heat vision. Trans-strat-eog ideally

The speed I clipped using the keys stayed the same, I even tried to macro it and still had the same results it would be intermittent where I’ve seen players on PS5 do it consistently each time. Ping may play a factor as well

You could always troll. And that's a nice piece of ass you got there

@@joestalin5303 holy shit lmao

Im not the owner of this video but when i first started, i started with ICE and one handed and i ended up trying all the powers slowly

the one you have fun ..

You have to use the improved stealth hand mod

@@ObsidianChill does that not affect the damage output?

@@SkyeDCUO01 its 2% vs having a large shield, immune to cc, a stealth damage proc and hitting 2+ abilities and supercharges in stealth.

you would yes, I would change your generator mods to power though, and even power efficiency in the chest to help with the power cost on turret

The suppressor turret is for jump clipping instead really using it to damage in this video. It's coz when you use another power like cyclone push, it got an animation after you casted it, by pressing suppressor turret then jump immediately after casting the power, the animation will be cancelled with the damage still being dealt, but in a shorter time which increases ur dps. AND IFFFF you really wanna use a suppressor turret for damage, place it in ur stealth loadout as well, so that it wouldn't explode when you stealth.

depends on how many armories you got and how dedicated as a dps you are, most ppl would have one for st and aoe or hybrid

If its a bad tank the controller should stun adds but if its a good tank you should avoid it. In the past it was fine because the breakout profiles were normal but now after stats revamp they are a disaster and a controllers stuns are largely useless unless the tank isn't paying attention. If we cc the adds they can break out at awkward times and they may completely resist tank cc's

grim will help on your power if you use robot sidekick but if power is no concern quislet will be better

Technically yes, depends on what powers you use. If a player sets up daze for me if the first powers I use don’t benefit from a daze pi I won’t have any increased dmg then at that point I would have set up my own pi etc

you have to put robot sidekick on your stealth bar and then it wont destroy itself when you go into stealth

@@Daemon1995_ I am not sure what you mean the loadouts are in the video

just timing wise so you know when to jump clip after the 4th tick of flurry shot

You need to have it in both of your loadouts, damage and stealth

I’m on ps5 and to me it’s a 50/50 whether it all procs or not, not sure.. if pc is really any worse, maybe ps4 it’s good ? Idk lol but then again ps4 comes with more cons than pros dealing with other lag.

might based means you use your power tray abilities rather than weapon attacks. Melee means that the damage being done is close to the things you are fighting because if you tried to fight from far away the damage wouldn't reach

@@ObsidianChill ah ok I knew what might meant, I was just confused about the melee part cause I haven’t heard that used before. Thanks for the clarification

@@alechamilton1864 alot of powers have abilities that deal more damage up close but don't have much range so you have to remain close

which timestamp do you remember? I was in a few different league halls in this guide

tornado pull deals more damage than tazer pull, its just that tazer is faster cooldown. Which is why you have both

@@ObsidianChill gotchya I thought they did the same thank you for replying

@@gamehound6348 TP just has a really long animation which is why it works for gadgets being able to clip it

Strat , trans , grim, eog, venom,or quizlit

super speed is a must for prec build

@@Moeru_Jigoku i dont have the money to spend on this game to buy a respec token

Cancels animation for more dps

Don’t know, during AM days you could clip multiple powers in stealth and invisibility but it was much smoother then. I don’t think a dev would know if you asked them today it would be up to the players to decide if it’s broken

As someone who has mained gad since launch, you cant go as fast as possible. Gad will dove tail on you- this means it will essentially kick you out of stealth immediately and no damg is done. Also, it has an extended cool down. You also cant use certain powers right before stealth or it will cause this effect. Most vids or ppl who dont main the power do not know. Its been like that since launch.

it isn't exploding, I am using the animation of the summon of the mine to clip brawling weapon mastery. If you jump clip a cast bar animation ability it stops and restarts the cooldown

Mental over quantum

@@Acurings any particular reason that mental is better?

@@gabemaurer4969 Mental’s goated mid range , max range not that bad either. Quantum is ... ugly.

@@inkXIV haha i like the teleport on quantum though but mental is the theme i like more.

The prec side of gadgets will at the moment

Artifacts dictate buff trolling, skill points even 400-600 mean absolutely nothing when compared to artifacts and augments. If a player didn't have enough vit from running dom augments replacing the adaptive and you have another 6% vit in content. Needing a second controller is also entirely dependent on your group, i've done COUE with my league in dps gear as a controller with a completely minimal pot tick and its been completely fine. Healers have artifacts like purple healing ray which return 20% power back to them, you have precision dps who rarely use any power, which is why everyone is switching back to prec for survival mode coming up. In a gemini spam meta you have dps constantly dropping circles on trash mobs which grant 2% power every second back to them. You can have a different opinion than mine but it doesn't mean your opinion is an educated one lol

@@ObsidianChill def disagree. Ive been in groups with ppl who follow your lead and it ends in failure. Cuz you are the only one in this community that does videos and is ok, not best, the lazy ppl in the community flock here. The ones that find their own lo usually end up out parsing the numbers you put on here. The trolling in general is the thing that you can see the players in the community that actually do the elites all the time and have no problem are the players that do not do this. 99.9 percent of the community do not have maxed sp. Or arts. And yes sp does matter to some extent. To just say its all arts is ignorant. Maybe your league is mostly ppl with maxed stuff but most ppl out there do not have leagues or even a lot of friends that have maxed stuff. In the end, youre still a troll and you still need to worry about power. The way you do it is not good enough for groups. Think about healers who have to heal ppl with amulet. They have to spam. If youre not giving more than 4k pot, your group will fail. I guarantee you that you dont have that kind of pot. Group power>group hitting really hard for 10 seconds.

I 90 percent of the time do not need a second troll. That is the difference.

@@DarkKnightwing which is simply changing out your claw artifact for parasite or scrap, power trolling bs buff trolling the rotation itself doesn't change at all. If pug group is struggling that bad that they require a full power troll spec then that is something the group should look inwards to itself. Are you just going to let that Orb healer spam priority at a 20k powercost because they believe they have to clip it every 1.5 seconds? or are you going to say something in chat? Are you going to let the electric healer just clip all powers off cooldown even when there is nothing to heal just because that healer thinks that's what they need to do? Power trolling isn't a cop out for other roles not knowing how to play the their own role. Even tanks like rage and atomic don't need any extra power besides POT and only run into issues when the actual troll dies. You also take into account the bottled city soder which grants 100% power return vs a player running a percentage based one, and just having to hold out for 60 seconds until they get a full power bar again. You're also welcome to try out your much higher parsing rotations against the gadgets in our league anytime, Pitch is always up for a pane st run or my league runs coue all day

@@ObsidianChill if you put in parasite instead of rao then youd be fine. Spec vit. Easy 5 to 6k pot.

Eye of Gemini artifact

marijuana!

Just pick a rotation. You wanted might gadgets there are melee rotations here, ranged, close ST, max range ST your cr and sp are irrelevant to the rotations. If you struggle on power use power efficiency in the chest, power mods in your gen mods, or cyborg as a ally passive

@@ObsidianChill What do you think of the Hall Of Legends bot that you can buy from cyborg? I heard that it can steal power for you... or should I just get cyborg?

@@ObsidianChill also can you recommend me one for close range on this video? I like recommendations...

@@HazbinHotelStaff you have to stun the target with HOL, so in open world or lower content that will work as gadgets but not in raids. It's up to you

@@ObsidianChill One more question. Is Solar Amplifier reliable? I know it works well with the heat vision but if I'm not running HV in my loadout, I could just replace it with Grimorium Verum? I already have the Strat card and and Trans card equipped.

working on Rage, I just fell behind and then prob another tank set as I am tanking/dpsing for this elite raid episode

@@ObsidianChill is rage prec competitive with gadgets prec? Or is gadgets prec still #1 dps

@@user-fp7to2hp3x rage prec can beat gadgets when you can be in melee range for zerk. If rage can't hit zerk as prec it will fall well behind gadgets. Elec prec is the closer match for gadgets

In the hall of doom you get them from the tech wing

What weapon do you use/prefer?
