They easily could have done at least a couple of times there, I thought the first time in the smelting factory that I was done for! It’s never easy taking on a duo. I admire their persistence and have so much respect for the effort!
About that P38… A vertical foregrip attached to the suppressor. If you held on to that with your weak hand, which of course is the purpose of a foregrip, the gun would NOT cycle. Th P38, like the P08, 1911, Glock, Sig, etc. are short recoil operating. Holding the foregrip would impede the recoil of the barrel, which would keep the slide (or bolt, in the P08) from moving to the rear. No extraction, no ejection, no feeding… Kinda silly. BTW, that is the same limitation on actual size of suppressors that can be attached to recoil operated pistols.
From what I've figured out, if you want to chain invasions within a short time frame the best way is save after the end of an invasion then quit to menu and reload your save, doing so I was getting repeated invasions often within 5 min of the previous one ending (I was playing silent stealth so it was a long mission with 5+ invasions)
If you’re on PC, you can quick save with F5 and quick load with F9 and it resets the invasions instantly! You should only need to quit to the main menu if your game is still on cooldown for some reason after you’ve reloaded. We’ve already recorded mission 5 and we made it into a bit of a joke because I did the quick save/load thing pretty much constantly towards the end of the mission.
@@duckwit85 I've not had as much luck with trying just reload without quitting to menu first but maybe that's just me getting bad luck, looking forward to episode 5, you're the reason I decided to get the game
The cooldown period in War Factory is quite long after defeating an invader. IIRC you can be invaded again after 25 min wait. 😅 Your game is still open for invasions even when you have completed all objectives on this map. The cooldowns get shorter as you progress further through the campaign, e.g. 15 min cooldown on Secret Weapons.
@@kentfletcher8539 It does if you quick save and then load again. I only like to do that if I'm playing for the invasions. If I'm doing a regular mission run I prefer to get through in one go.
Great vid Duck! Good fun with the invaders, your videos actually inspired me to make my own. Love your content and thanks for mentioning the discord server.
Can you post a series playing through the Battlefield 1 campaign? I think you’d really like it if you haven’t played. It’s my favorite campaign of all time😊
I've been playing only authentic for the last six months and instinctively reloading after almost every shot ! Damn it I must have thrown away so much ammo.
You might be fine depending on the feed type. Bolt action rifles/shotguns have rounds loaded individually so you don’t lose ammo with those. Weapons that take magazines will loose ammo on reload. Strangely, rifles that take stripper clips don’t seem to lose ammo on reload, despite the whole clip being removed and discarded before the new one is loaded.
Swapping ammo types preserves the remaining bullets in the mag. As authentic player, I almost never press R, it's quick select wheel, change ammo type, drop the wheel, bring the wheel back up and change back to normal rounds. Do it fast enough and the reload animation should play only once. Hope you don't mind the unsolicited advice :)
5:56 I still don't know if this is cheating so I don't do it often but if you select special ammo and then reload your regular ammo it saves the leftover bullets in the mag.
I am aware you said for these you'd probably just kick me since (I can't remember the reason but I know it was a good one) But I'd love to accidently stumble on one of these as invader and have an interesting fight lol.
Kia ora Duck - watching your stream from New Zealand to scratch my Invader itch while I'm in the Far North and away from my PC. (And, while I have a ton of other games to play, I can't get passed playing ES5). Thanks for the stream and all the handy hints it contains! One question - when you play on Authentic mode can you still change from right handed to left handed? I've noticed on other streams (rest easy, yours is the one I watch the most and I've almost finished all your content!) that you don't seem to swap "handedness"? Have you experimented and it makes no difference (when you peek round a left hand corner)?
You can; I’ve only started swapping shoulders with the camera since trying multiplayer, so it’s a recent development for me. You won’t see a lot of it in the older content especially. In the previous games in the series you can’t even do it, so it’s never something I was thinking about in this game. It does make a difference, but that difference largely depends on the corner and how dark the area you are trying to see in to is. Sometimes swapping the camera to the ‘correct’ shoulder is actually a hinderance!
@@duckwit85 Roger that - I do it instinctively now so it stood out but I've never played Authentic (apart from some epic invasions). Keep up the good times - just sad I'll probably never have you invade me or vice versa because of time zones!
We tested it a while ago. Scopes on secondaries and sidearms have no glint, nor does a particular scope on the Springfield. It does mean you are stuck with low zoom and muzzle velocity compared to a rifle, but it is very effective!
And that’s why it bugs me so much that the Sturmgewehr doesn’t have selective fire. Also that the game dumbs down the average accuracy of many of the weapons at closer ranges, while at the same time making them unrealistically MORE accurate at very long range. But I guess that’s because I’m a “been there, shot that” guy.
Nope, we were going to do a full non-lethal series but gave up on it after mission 2 because the game AI slightly breaks if soldiers get woken up; Woken soldiers seem to sometimes ‘spot’ you even if you are alone and out of sight on the far side of the map. I’ve never done a melee only run of any mission.
@@duckwit85 that is quite unfortunate to hear about the AI breaking but I am pretty sure I remember seeing that situation happen during a non-lethal mission you were doing. And that is understandable on the melee only run. I’ve only done (mission 2) Occupied Residence melee only with no fights breaking out. Every other attempted mission, I trip up somewhere.
