Tips To Go From Beginner To Pro FAST | Generation Zero 

Probably the most underrated game I've ever played. I love how there's absolutely zero hand holding, and they aren't afraid of having wide open spaces - it feels so much more real.

I've got well over 1300 hours of single player time in the game, and I love it now like I did the very first play through. Every time the developers make a big update I start over again for the total experience. Quick hints: * go through your first time on the story mode. The story is the best part of the game to me, and I enjoy finding the secret lore throughout. There are some very strange Nordic-mystical-type lore situations that are pretty neat. * somehow the dogs see me every time I peek over the logs to spy them at the church, no matter if it's dark or raining. Don't know why. Anytime you're targeting dogs, try to aim at one that's near to others. Most of the time you will take out multiple targets with one shot. * the rooftop of the little store close to where you check the police car for ammo. *once kitted out, the Moller is a much better pistol than some of the bigger pistols with high damage-per-shot and great handling. *the Marksman skill for zero sway on weapon aim. * you can get that .270 very early in the game at the dock area on the far west end of the archipelago before you cross the first bridge. You'll have to walk around the coastline from the docks toward the bridge and it'll appear in a bonfire. * when using trees as shields, turn sideways to reduce your profile while machines are firing. You can get hit behind a tree when you're facing the machines because of love handles and muffin tops I guess. * one day I'll post my coordinates map of every 4- and 5-crown weapon in the game, but by the time I do everything will probably be different. * say it with me: ark - i - PEL - uh - go 😁 * if you hover over found safe houses you can see a list of what functions you can access there. * you can find a lot of great weapons upgrades in those barracks areas of the bunkers. * that letter was cryptic because the dad had a history of playing treasure hunts with his son. The Story! * you'll always spawn/boot into the game in the safehouse nearest to where you died or quit the game. That's why it's important to find every safehouse you can as you go so you don't respawn miles away from where you died and then have to truck it for a while to get back to your target. * PVG-90. I leave that in my Plundra now because it gets a little boring with this gun after a while, especially if you get the Experimental. Easily the best pinpoint weapon in the game. Have fun and enjoy the world! I grew up in a place like this, so it's my time machine back to my youth.

1 thing that ALOT of players dont know. At the start, there is a little house with a flat roof close to the first police car. You can parkour up to the roof by jumping off the bush next to it to the rain shield (a mini roof protecting from rain) the you can see a dead police and some gear and a ”klaucke 17”. This is a very good start but sadly its just a 1-star. Check it out for you self!

Great video! bonus tip: 'Ark-eh-pell-ah-go' ;)

Heads up - game is free on PS Plus currently. Great video to watch if you plan too or have downloaded

just got this through PS Plus and it's really good. Having a lot of fun and I'm very impressed with the scale and amount of things to do. I'm not even sure if it's that massive but the game design makes it seem absolutely massive.

Only hard parts are the long detection ranges and the fact, that detection can happen through solid objects/terrain. Find a medium size rock, have some bandages ready, throw a radio/flare and unload on the weakspots. If it's a Tank or Harvester, find a second rock, so you can dodge missiles and not end up in the open. Buildings are always safe (except for ticks spawned inside), unless a Hunter partially clips into the wall. "Variants" get more HP and improved attacks, but the basic strategy never changes.

homie helpful tip, it isn’t pronounced “ARCH-A-PAA-LAGO” it’s “Arc-A-Pell-Ago”

Your right about new players. I myself picked it up on the steam summer sale. Been hooked since I started playing it. Though it has some issues I really love it. Got to level 25 yesterday and got my first prototype weapon from killing a rival. Been dying a LOT through my playthrogh.

bro when you were trying to say archipelago that shit made me laugh so hard thats meme worthy but still good video and great tips keep up the good work and btw you got a new sub👍

I just started to play yesterday on ps. Loved it so far. Saw some RU-vidrs playing it back then. Kind of hard aiming since it moves a lot. But got to get use to it. I’m still on the islands looting. Found my first auto rifle up by the castle.

Im slowly making my way across the maps unlocking safe houses & finding goodies. Im still working my way to this lighthouse & a few other key places. I have tons of ammo but none of the weapons lol

Keep it up . been playing the game for about 2 weeks now excellent game 👍💯 to be honest I have never heard of this game . Am a fan.of boardland s. Division.destiny player myself so this game is right up my street 💯👍

For those of us who have been playing games for 20 years, we need a challenge more than we need a breeze through it makes for a better experience for us

one of the better gen zero video i've come across. keep up the good content. i stumble across gen zero on accident with the PS5. it's addicting. i try to play the stealth game more than combat. i hack the machines so they fight each other. when you have the firebird, it kills every enemy for you easy, even tanks and harvesters don't stand a chance. when the firebird is done killing them all, you just shoot it until it's dead since it's still hacked and won't shoot back at you. not too into building bases tho. waste of time. after i got 3-4 bases, i stopped claiming bases tho i still do base assaults.

Thanks for the Invincible Swidech Tree!

Just want to say man it's so good to see someone picking this up from the beginning and going through the newbie stuff, I'm a returning player, love the new companion stuff, and definitely going for that gun. Great style of content 👏

Archipelago 1. Say Ark without the k. 2. Say Kit or Kick without the t or ck. 3. Say Pelt without the t. 4. Say ah. 5. Say go. Ar - Ki - Pel - Ah - Go Archipelago

This game is actually awesome. I initially didn’t look twice at it because I’m not a fan of 80’s only weapons but now I can’t put it down till I beat it.

Excellent video. However, I challenge your ability to play Gen Zero on the PS2. 😊

Dude this is like a horror game too me, while going to the farm I spotted something way bigger than normal dogs and decided to walk way around but somehow that thing saw me and I just ran to the barn.

Started a few days ago and I'm a fo4,76 player until I started this. Must say, I'm very into this game and impressed. Thanks for some tips 🤘

Another really important piece of advice, is use the random tools the game gives you. A few gas cannisters + a radio is a roadside bomb, the radio will attract the enemies over to the radio's location, then shoot the gas cannisters and BOOM, multiple enemies removed. You can get surprisingly close to enemies if you crawl through long grass. Even easier if you have a buddi with a scoped rifle to shoot the gas cans. Flares are decoy targets, if you're being shot at, throw flares to distract the machines. stick a sticky flare TO a big machine, the small guys will attack it. Fireworks blind an enemy, so they can't shoot. Shoot guns off of enemies as a priority. Think like an insurgent. (Also, didn't know you could have English dubbing! my game has always been in Swedish)

Thanks for the tip about the signs in bunkers. I’ve been playing 3 or so years and never even noticed them. There’s also a skill called inquisitive mind. I always recommend getting that to level 2 upon being able to do so. Level 3&4, because there’s a pre requisite skill. With the reason being, the 1st rank awards 50% more every time you’re awarded xp and the 2nd rank, double the xp. So many sleep on it, but as an example, if ending an encounter normally awards you 900 xp, with rank 2 of inquisitive mind, it will award you 1800. Id also get lock picking asap, as there are mini armorys around the map, which require it and have decent loot. Plus, every you hear static, follow it to radar beacons, which award you a decent amount of xp if you use a tank, put it down next to the beacon and blow it up from a distance.

8:20 It’s Ar-key-pe(as in PEn)-la (as in LAgoon)-go (as in laGOon). Spelled Archipelago which is a group of islands

Tip at the beginning of the game at the house theirs like a little stand that serves food on top of that theirs another different gun and a gun silencer and some aid kits and adrenaline shots

Hey just letting you know that pvg90 you got at the end already had a 4 star 6/12 scope on it. You switched it too the 2 star that you had in your inventory

Interesting,i was also able to find a suppressor for the hunting rifle in the house,i dont know if it was added recently or what

Haven’t played this in a while, might get back into it since I’ve been seeing it getting more popularity

ok 2 things, the quality of this guide was very good, it felt like a vet of not only the game but of youtube made it. second, you deserve much more attention, the guide was pretty detailed you werent speeding through and it was very easy to understand. good job man keep it up

Archipelagoh hurts my soul… but great video lol really informative and helped me out, really enjoying this game so far

Why not go for the obvious choice before picking a specialization when it comes to skills? And that's getting the Inquistive Mind skill maxed out. That way for the rest of the game you are getting double the XP that you wouldn't otherwise get if you went with something else first. lol.

picked this up and holy shit it is absolutely beautiful

Playing this on ps plus. Really great game in single player. Amazed I haven’t heard of it before tbh

Hey! So I went for that sniper you were talking about but the big robots were fighting outside. I decided to help whittle then down and I got a gold sniper :D

Bro I literally just killed a tank using trees as cover when you said that

I haven’t found the game to be too difficult on the ‘normal’ setting. I mean it’s not very hard to die and the machines are pretty brutal sometimes but playing smart and careful makes everything seem very manageable. Haven’t had a single bad thing to say about this game so far which is super rare these days. If I was really being picky I got stuck in the terrain and had to kill myself once and the characters faces look slightly cursed but that’s it. Loving this game

Archipelago is pronounced, arka-pela-go for future reference :3

Also harvest any trees that let you do so. You will need the wood to upgrade your supply containers. Radios seem useless but the fireworks box and flares are great for distracting robots. Hip firing is better than aiming down the sights for most guns other than the rifles and grenade/ rocket launchers.

Do enemies respawn when you die? I killed around four hunters but died from the last two, and when I came back the bodies were completely gone which was annoying and like there was 6 more hunters

Game is pretty sick, especially mid game when Hunters and harvesters are pretty much a game over.. Sneaking up to a building at night and seeing one of those things turn towards you is epic! Holy crap! Then they blast their foghorn and start actively looking for you! It’s pretty intense. Even with the op rocket dog, if you come across one of those guys and it’s entourage, you’re pretty much screwed. I’ve played a lot of games, this comes pretty close to a nightmare for me, way more than any other game I’ve ever played. Co-op is good too, play it with my 13 year old son.

Good video, the editing is alittle off, still a great presentation.

Best tip get a buddy. Especially if you are playing on the hardest difficulty

Thanks for the tree tip. Saved me so many med packs.

Me and my family picked it up (the DLC monetization makes it too expensive for us to pick up without a deep sale). Greatly enjoying it. We like the challenge.

For everyone complaining about the aiming.. go to settings and adjust your sensitivity. The default setting on PS is insanely high.

I really liked this guide but I am wondering if you excluded the use of the radio and exploding barrels to kill the first runner of the game because it might spoil that revelation later. I am headed to your channel to check out more videos for this game. I really did like this guide. Especially in how to find sniper rifles early. ✌️😎👍

It's a very helpful video, for the single player's !! Big thanks, and i finally got that 50. Cal sniper.🙏 It's fantastic 👍👍👍

@sporedtodeath, thanks for the tip on the purple sniper at the light house. i made my way there today and got it. any other tip for purple weapons like submachine guns which i love over the AK. i like using the .44 revolver over the semi-auto handguns. it's annoying that i get over weighted all the time. what are the weapons in your wheel that you only carry. my 12 year old son says i carry too many guns. i need to selectively pick up thing and not hit "take all" all the time.

man, i just take out 3 rivals last night..and its always scary due to the damage i received..im solo and landmine, explosive tank, small emp..and Grenade its most usefullll..

I play co-op do you know if my other 2 friends will be able to get the pvg 90 or other guns at the same time as me, and if not do those guns respawn every 3 hours also? Thanks

I’m currently playing this game and I am in Sweden and as I play I hear the warning sirens for an attack in real life sounding. Before I realised that it’s a drill I got pretty scared. I mean I hope it’s a drill😂

I wished i watched this video before i started the game, i had to go all the way back to pick up the rifle, luckily im only a few missions into the game so it wasnt to bad, brilliant game so far

Brooo love the videos bro this helps alot man appreciate it man keep up the good work bro

anyone got tips on how to use the companion. i haven't used the runner companion in a fight just to carry my stuff. how can you carry more stuff or do you just have to get rid of things all the time.

How do you change the language? Mine has been in Swedish since I started. It’s hard to read subtitles while you’re trying to fight.

You should try playing on Xbox personally I find FPS games easier on xbox

Hey, are you able to replay the story missions again? i try making a new game, but every story mission is completed already 😢

Bro you kept saying that all wrong. Arch-uh-pell-uh-go. Is how it sounds. Ha ha ha.

I just started playing this past week and was suprised at how much i enjoyed it considering i knew nothing about it when i downloaded. I finished the archipelago region and headed into the farmlands and omfg was that a massive leap especially the further north i went. Decided to do a quick google at the order of things and chose to wipe through the other regions first starting with the south west area and once i did that and am partially through the mountains i started picking up 4 and even some 5 star weapons/mods. Unsure if it was because of how far i progressed with total playing time or the areas i explored...ANYWAY, this video helped immensely and helped solidify things i already sort of thought about but was unsure of

I just subscribed. This is a great video and such an underrated game. Keep up on the updates please.

Bro there is literally a klauke 17 at the spawn with 2 adrenaline shots and a silencer...

Say it with me.... "Arc-a-pell-a-go"

how do you unlock the ammo? I am needing 7.62 really bad but cant make it

Other than the controls and the fact that the robots blend with the other graphics too much, this game is not a big challenge so far. I'm 2 hours in and have only been using my pp shooter to keep it challenging.

game hasnt been hard for me yet only almost died to a chain of cars exploding

How do you get to the other side of the lake to the lite house the water keeps killing me

8:21 hate to be that guy, its pronounced "ark-e-pel-a-go" Thank you for the tips!

There is also a rifle silencer and repair kit in that same bedroom with the scope, under the nightstand, in a box.

I thought that everyone knew about the invincible swedish trees 😂

Just got it free thru ps plus, it feels like a reimagined fallout

Thx u for taking the time out ur day to makesl these videos for us noobies

Just wondering if you can do a video on explaining the crafting and skills and all that sort of stuff man like you mentioned something about recycling the rounds to make points and stuff just wondering if you can make a video covering all that

Who needs to craft aid kits when I can find them like it's candy

Bro, thank you so much for this video! I just started playing this game and didn't know how to equip my rifle and scope. This was great information! Love the video!

2024 game on the story with ps plus is like $5 rn

You can use robot body’s as cover dead hunters are really good

You got my like with the archipelago bit. Gold

if not known on top of the store when you first start there is a klauche 17 as well you have to jump on the fence to the awning to grab it.

Just a pronunciation guide for anyone who needs to know: Archipelago is pronounced ARK-uh-PEL-uh-go

You could have the most powerful wep in the game but it's all about strategy the brain is the most powerful wep of all

I've played GZ before but never made it past my second bunker. I'm playing again and I'm almost to the airfield. My tip is barns! Barns give you tons of cover, usually good angles to shoot from, and rockets/gas canisters hitting the walls won't damage you if you are near the center. I'm saying this because I took out 2 tanks, 7+ hunters, and 20+ runners in an epic battle from inside a barn. 3 seekers kept calling in more enemies until I took them out as well.

I'm about to go mission impossible and run through the map for that sniper

Arc-ee-pel-ago. "Arc" pronounced like "arc" (like the part of a circle), "ee" like in "eel" (a snake-like fish), "pel" like "pelt" (skin of an animal with fur) and "ago" like "ago" (like something happened long time ago). There is no "tch" or "ch" sound there. It is one of those instances where you pronounce "ch" as "k"

You have no idea how much this helped me. Thank you!!!

Weapons research has been beyond rewarding. Even though I have every weapon, I still run and hide in every house and container! My basic kit is an assault rifle with a scope & silencer, an smg and the .50 for the big ones because rockets are really heavy. Never went back to bolt rifles after I got salty because you can always use semi-auto

I played this game back in 2020 and haven't touched it since. Taking on anything but the dogs in the open was a death sentence so I spent a lot of time in houses while shooting out of windows and even then the machines often walked thru the walls lol...There seems to have been a few updates since then so maybe I should try it again. Hopefully it has improved with age. So do we need any of the paid dlc packs/updates in order to do well ? I only have the Alpine Unrest dlc...

Just bought this game a week ago because I'm bored of everything else at the moment. Now that I have the .50cal 5 on me with the big bots I can survive most of the time vs getting smoked almost every time I tried to fight them. I just rode the motorcycle straight though everything to get to that lighthouse. Almost didn't make it lol. Thanks for making this video man.

What controller settings are you using ? Like look sens and aim and fov. Also appreciate the vid. My buddy and I just started playing last night. He told me it was free for PS Plus and we hopped on it and dude such a different game but we can already tell it’s gonna be a dope experience.

Archipelago Ark-ah-pell-ago You sound just like Ben Shapiro, but you couldn't be him, I'm sure he knows how to say Archipelago! Lol

Been trying to get back into this game forever and lost all my knowledge, this has allowed me to enjoy this game solo after only playing with a group of 4. Thank you me dude, this is good shit!

Pronounced as; Arki-Pel-e-go. Short on the "e" as in peg. Also "stress on "PEL". :) lol great help on vid man thanks. subded and liked. avb

Is it just me not finding the game hard? Maybe im not far enough yet but ive been playing for hours and ive died once, i also have an over abundance of med packs without crafting any and no im not playing in easy, i was expecting to be punishing like dayz but its just kinda like far cry but not as good and a tiny bit harder

Im here to help you pronounce archipelago Ark-Ih-pella-go

I actually got this game on play station plus

Funny thing I have all skills and specializations but the guide is fairly good for learning basics but you forgot about 5 star Glock thing in the police car which is easy to get too and the Ag 5 one star in bear cave

Thanks for the tips. Lvl 14. Got the game for free on PS plus. Currently trying to survive the farmlands to go up north. Just discovered the Soviet robots fighting Fnix. Any tips on them?

Great video. its pronounced "Arc...A...Peligo". Thank you for this, it was a big help.

I just wamt to thank you for making this vid it helped me and i think i got lucky bc i found a silencer in the beginning so i putted it on the first sniper now im doing alk the other missions

I just started couple days ago and there was a side mission for the hunting rifle before going to the church.. it's nice they actually gave a mission for that so it is hard to miss it.. ah you cleared the mission part couple minutes later 😂
