 So today guys, I bring you a few things you need to know about arms race before jumping in. How's it going guys? My name is DPJ and if you enjoyed the video, leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see and want to see more, be sure to subscribe. So another video is out there going off the basis of what we see within the trailers and what Gearbox have told us about the game, but I've actually had over a week of playing experience with arms race and that's why today guys I believe I can bring things I feel you need to know before jumping in. So the basics, this is a battle royale mode without the PVP. You are dropped into arms race without any gear or skill tree abilities. You are just a vault hunter. The aim is to loot, survive the murder canes, find legendos, extract them and defeat a boss if you make it that far. Those are the basics of this mode. So what do you need to know? Well, all weapon types actually matter. I could not stress this enough. Gearbox would not lie when they said players would look at every rarity of weapon like they never have before. Because guys, this is so true it's unreal. Every single weapon actually matters. Cummins, uncommons, rares, epics and well if you're lucky, legendaries too. So once you land, it's best to find those gear chests and just loot away. Find yourself a shield and find yourself a decent weapon. Also to note, weapon chests don't appear on the map but are super important for progress so keep an eye out for them. Also, although you can, the mode isn't about running straight to the boss as there's more to this mode than just that. And well like I said you can indeed land, loot a weapon crate and jump straight into that boss fight if you want to. But there are much better odds of you coming at this with new gear if you actually use the map to find said loot sources. And well, unto that point, the map showcases everything. From where the boss fight is, to supply drops, to loot caches, to extraction points. Use this map as a guide it is. Use it with a murder cane time to see what loot you can reach while still having time to, if you plan to, take on that boss. There is, under my testings, a much higher chance of legendaries from loot caches, which like I said can be found all over the map. Loot caches do however come at the cost of time, where you will see yourself having to take on waves of enemies. But it's worth it as once you achieve completion here, you get access to two red chests which drop those new legendaries also. New legendaries can drop from enemies too, not just from loot caches or the main boss of this arm's roast mode. So if you see an enemy which seems like a beast, well the higher the health, the more chance they have of dropping that new stuff. So take your time to take them out if you do have that time. Okay so if you're playing solo, this is a useful tip. You can use your inventory button to basically pause the game. Check out your surroundings, check out the map, and plan your next routes. As like I said it pauses the game and this is a very useful tip indeed. Another note, extraction points like I mentioned appear on the map. But almost are always guarded by enemies which you have to take out before using them because depositing loot into the extraction points does not pause the game like it does when you're in your inventory if you're playing solo. So you will have to take those enemies out first. Also a very important matter, extractors have limited numbers of use. So do not think you can run around loot numerous loot caches and supply drops and then extract all your findings at one extraction point because that is not happening. Besides the boss extraction points, I believe you are limited to a max of 3 per extraction point machine. So use them wisely. Also if you find a new legendary you can't actually use it within arms race. The plan here is to extract it to use it. But if you die with a new legendary within your inventory and you are playing solo or in a team and don't get revived and the whole team goes down, say goodbye to that loot as it's gone for good. You can also by the way find all the legendary within arms race which you can use within arms race mode. It's just a new legendary exclusive to this mode in which you cannot use it. Okay so the boss fight. Here it makes sense to go into this fight with a shock and corrosive weapon at least as the boss in heavyweight harker does have a health bar, a armor bar and a shield bar. And while to make it a lot easier on yourself, try looting said weapons which offer said elements which go great against said armor and shield bars. And while to end the video guys the murder cane while running around is utterly deadly. But once you're in that boss fight it doesn't actually affect you in a way where it slowly kills you. So this indeed can be used as an escape route from the murder cane. Well I say escape route you still have to defeat that boss to extract any remaining legendos you might have on you. And there we have it guys 10 plus things I think you need to know before playing arms race. And on that note we have come to the end of the video.
