 So people I am back with another outriders video and I've not long ended my stream it's literally 3am here in the UK right now I ended my stream absolutely puzzled 700 people watching as well absolutely puzzled okay so this started earlier on today before I started streaming I um my character levels at level 30 my gear tops out at about about you know I couldn't have a higher level gear it's not the highest 48 level armors the same 48s so I was helping my pals as they just got to the expedition stages I was helping them out and I realized when playing unlike a challenge tier 4 it seemed as though my armor and weapons just dropped in that scale which is understandable to try and balance out they don't want people of a higher level going back and carrying the players simple as that yeah all right fair enough I understand that um so I farmed expeditions all night on stream didn't get no legendaries you know seven hours straight got no legendaries whatsoever game hates me fair enough so I decided to go and farm a a farm I put on youtube of these names the warlord you get him from within the dunes you kill him you die minutes and repeats pretty simple I wanted a few materials want to get that titanium this and the other so I got here this is a world tier 10 by the way as you can see world tier 10 top of the screen and I'm using my super powerful weapon well it's not super powerful it's 24k damage firepower 62.9k armor piercing close range damage status power all this and the other I'm built for shotgunning that's basically what my classes built around and I go and farm this boss and watch this I want to this is what well this is where I first figured out so I use all my okay I forgot about the cutscene excuse me people I'm really tired I'm really tired and this is just puzzled me I wanted to help me out I think my stream couldn't figure it out I couldn't figure it out well um okay so look I'm doing that bad damage here the 35k damage okay I'll take it it's not bad I mean there's a bit of scaling here I probably won't kill him okay so yeah I won't kill him oh I will just about let's see okay I'll kill him he drops me loot fair enough okay so I let the other adds kill me okay so that's with my powerful shotgun it's a level 48 there's 20 plus k damage firepower is 50 odd k 60 odd k whatever it was so what happens if I switch to this one here which is a level 37 11 below only does a thousand damage you can see there in red 12.5 k firepower damage so what happens if I do the exact same thing and run it with this same abilities same build same everything so what do you think it's going to happen people okay now it confused absolute heck out of me I couldn't figure out what was going on I just couldn't figure out what was going on these adds are going to kill themselves because I've got a ricochet mud on my armor which is just hilarious let's take that off quickly um okay so don't kill yourselves now and kill me so I couldn't figure out what's going on so when I got a blue shotgun which matches my other shotgun as best I could get bone strap no clip roller okay I got it so we got bone strap no 24 k damage 16 2.9 k damage uh firepower damage this one here 5.1 k firepower damage bone strap no put out on there myself same sort of thing same kind of weapon same kind of pump action shotgun as we do it 5k damage so what do you think the difference was will be so let's run it again with the purple I've reset my game I wiped my skill tree I've done everything guys I've tested this all kind of shit okay so this is the purple I mean it's not bad damage I mean I understand it the scale me down but we'll tear 10 people we'll tear 10 it's fair enough okay scales me down so I'll die I'll die and then I'll switch to the the lower level one so the lower level blue let's do the exact same thing same mud same everything ready how is it I can two shot him with a blue which is 11 levels below almost 20 000 damage below fire powers what 50 k below what is actually happening here what is going on here the damage scale in this game is utterly broken okay so let's try it with a assault rifle that's 61 that's my high assault rifle in the game that's what I'm doing my expeditions with what we've got we've got another one here that's lower okay we've got one there I mean I've got different perks hot blood a grave diggers frenzy and we've got in this one singularity and shrieker or sugar whatever that says who cares that one 64.9k 5k damage this one is 27k with 2.1k damage this one's got quick damage close range and skill life leech this one's got armor piercing status power and healing received we'll first go with a big boy we'll first go with a big boy I'll pop all my abilities let's see what you do then yeah not bad not bad well for a weapon this powerful not bad I will say as well these powerful weapons people um these ones here the ones that level 48 obviously from the expedition higher tier levels so we'll try it now with a blue we'll try it now with this bad boy and see what happens let's see the differences again nothing's changed nothing's changed whatsoever what happens it's doing more or less the same probably a bit better we run that again oh you know what people I'm an idiot again I apologize I'm so sleepy I was using the higher powered one I was using the higher powered one so this should be fun I was gonna say it was more or less the same a little bit better well it was actually the same weapon they switched it let's switch to the lower level one let's try that again again I'm tired I apologize man I apologize so let's see okay so you can see it clearly see the difference it's just way way way I mean it's just way better the lower level weapons what is going on what is actually going on here I just do not get it how is it how is it that lower firepower lower leveled lower damage weapons are dealing way more damage in this game and the real tears that alone I mean it's a real tier 10 I just do not get it guys I just do not get it guys I mean my mate my brain is just it's tried I can't really understand okay so let's try it let's try it with this one here the shotgun I haven't used this is at level 37 6k damage um and if we pull it against this one we can see 62.9k 14.7 24,000 damage here at the bottom 6,000 damage I mean we've even got blue ones you know we'll try a blue we'll try one of these after these are blue weapons let's see what this does let's see what this does I'm too shot I'm up I'm almost too shotting him I am almost too shotting him now I can I can understand the game scales you down so what does it penalize you for having higher powered loot more powerful armor I think the scaling is broke I think there's definitely something broke here there's definitely something broke here what are you are you are you a 10 I don't like the 10s the 10s it's for the 20 okay so here we'll go back with the what is here the difference is here is on but that's a 1.2k damage people with a 13.7k firepower I honestly just don't understand to a point of to a point of it feels like I'm missing something it feels like there's something I'm missing you know let me kill myself and go down another tier and see if the same thing happens I want to see if the weapons I've got here now on this world tier 10 are more powerful or as powerful on a world tier one change it down to a world tier one and then we'll compare the weapons I probably will have to uh okay so I'll probably have to kill myself to reset this tier I don't know I don't know how it works let's see let's see okay I guess not that's just stupid okay so what are these these are blues we need more we need more loot here we need more loot we need to get a lower level shotgun but it seems as though okay so what do I just get then I got these two did I not I got these two I really need a shotgun for this to work on the end these ads ain't gonna be able to kill me these ads ain't gonna be able to kill me but world tier 10 loot on a world tier one you can obviously see it's just as powerful and if I switch to this bad boy this is powerful too I mean the scaling obviously it's so it's so the enemies are so weak now I don't forget matters what I use I don't forget no matter what I use let's go up to a a world tier nine a world tier eight even I thought it could be the armor-facing rounds I thought it could be um I've tried it all I've tried it all and I just cannot figure out what's happening here how can it be that my highest loot I've ever got is weaker when playing back through the campaign then what's this this is basically a world tier 10 weapon I can will I can challenge tier 13 weapons be weaker in world tier 10 weapons someone please explain this to me because I honestly don't know what's going on and it's bogging my mind it's bogging my mind folks it really is oh shit I'm getting much of the other hey I got a green jacket there nice that's what we like to see people that loot that lucky loot okay so let me try my purple shotgun on this my world tier eight flipping now that's not bad luck though is it that's not bad luck though is it people okay so now we're trying blue we're trying the we're trying out a world tier 10 shotgun which has dropped on a different scale it's dropped on a different tier and will this be scaled back we'll find out I think the scaling's just broke yeah I think the scaling's just broke honestly but yeah um it's something to think about I don't know where to go from here I don't know what to say the video's been going on for 15 minutes and I'm still just absolutely mind-blown so yeah uh what guys help me out help me out what am I what am I doing wrong what am I doing wrong what am I doing wrong I just don't know I'm trying I've compared these weapons over everything about them everything about them I've compared it over and I've come to there's no conclusion I've come to there's nothing I've come to there's nothing guys there's nothing the only thing I can think of is world tier 10 weapons are just better for world tier 10 but if that was the case well what about when we just go down to world tier eight there and they're still better the world tier 10 is still better than the the challenge tier 13 in a world tier eight yeah it's just it's something to do with the scaling guys it's something to do with scaling I don't know what it is I don't know how they've tried to balance it and broke something but it's definitely not right in my opinion but let me know your thoughts on this down below in that comment section I mean if you know what this is if you know what's happening here please explain it to me hit me up on Twitter my discord whatever I haven't got a clue guys I haven't got a clue but something's definitely broke something's definitely broke and I mean I just can't I just I just I mean even if like people have said it could be something to do with the like a crit damage or the the armor piercing but again I mean I tried all that and let's get the scaling between these two weapons I don't think then they would make that much of a difference I don't think it would be the case when this can two shot a boss and this can take two clips and I just don't I don't get it guys I don't get it but yes let me know your thoughts on this down below in that comment section again I apologize for ranting on rambling on dragging the video out whatever I apologize for all that but yes tell me your thoughts if you've got a explanation for this let me know down below hit me up on Twitter discord whatever but I'm tired I'm getting off it's like 20 past three I'll see you guys soon on a stream later today hope to see you there peace out peace out peace out peace out
