The Pixel Gun Theorists
TheSolidSnakeX Girlarcher3d
Today's episode focuses on three main things:
1. Speed Analysis - Test - What is the top speed in Pixel Gun 3D that you can move at? What is the best speed?
2. Science Behind Prototype - Theory - Why does a gun that does 12 damage insta-kill me? How do I prevent it from doing so?
3. Common Misconceptions - Rumors - Rumors, Myth, all that good stuff.
And with that all out there, let's dig in. Hopefully, we can cover all three with a good amount of info, and maybe you can leave this thread with some knowledge!
Speed Analysis
As you may know, Pixel Gun 3D has a speed system, and It's really quite simple. More speed you have, faster you are able to move. Certain items increase speed, allowing you to move faster. But how fast can you go?
If we are to assume that without any items, the standard Pixel Gun player has 100% speed, we can then build from there.
-The King's Crown and Great Samurai helmet both give a 5% boost to speed.
-The Custom Cape gives a 5% boost to speed.
Those are the only speed increasing items that gives percentages. The max speed you could reach with those is 110% However,
-The Hitman, Sniper, and Berserk boosts all say, "Faster movement with ___"
-All weapons have mobility, which determine how fast you go with said weapons.
Adding in mobility, and the faster movement, just adds confusion! Ugh, damn you Rilisoft! But, by comparing the speed difference between a weapon with 100 mobility, and 5% speed, we've concluded the following:
-10 mobility = 5% speed. (This was done by comparing a base speed with nothing but 100 mobility, then comparing it 90 mobility, with 10%)
-By using this formula, the max amount of speed, is 0.140/140%.
However, the recommended speed is only 110%. Seeing how that's plenty enough speed, to be zooming through the map, and still be able to have armor. Seems like the best combo.
And there you go! Maybe you already knew that, maybe not, but hope you enjoyed it! We spent a lot of time making these!
Science Behind Prototype
Many of you have probably wondered, why does the Prototype kill me instantly!? Well, maybe just some of you. But the answer is actually quite simple, and here is what we think, is the answer. Our findings, are shocking.
The Prototype and Laser mini-gun have a unique ability, when shot, they can pass through walls. And that also means players. So? What does that have to do with anything? We're getting to it, just wait.
The Prototype has a base damage of 12, which can later be upgraded. It can also pass through players. And here's where it gets interesting. Every single player in the game, has what's called, hit-boxes. It determines where you got hit, and much damage was dealt. Explanation time!
Since the Prototype can pass through walls, it can also pass through hit-boxes. Lots of them. Assuming the inside of a player also counts as a hit-box, if shot through the chest, the Prototype would be hitting you not once, but three times. That's insane, but it also explains why people with Crystal and Ruby armor can survive 1-2 shots from it. Because 12 x 3 = 36. Gold armor has 35 points.
So in short, the BEST way to survive is to have max Ruby armor, and pray that it doesn't hit your head. I know right, kind of dull, but It's the only way. To avoid getting shot, jump up and down, going left and right like crazy, it'll make you harder to hit!
And there you go! The mystery behind the Prototype, finally solved! Hopefully you guys haven't heard of this theory before. If you have, then maybe some newer players are probably informed by now!
Common Misconceptions
In this topic, we'll be covering some of the rumors that are going around Pixel Gun. Maybe we can get a good amount finally put to rest!
-It takes one shot from the Prototype to kill a stalker. (Or any other creature in Co-Op Survival.)
-The most amount of upgrades for any item is three. (Not including gear, which makes it five.)
-The Anti-Gravity Gun gives the same amount of knock back as the Signal Gun.
-Your data in PG3D is stored on a server. Pressing the sync data button retrieves data from your Google Play/Game Center account.
-The most coins you can win in a single game is 10. (May need correcting.)
-No, there is no way you can currently get "free" coins from PG3D. The only way is to buy them, or earn them.
-The Laser Minigun does LESS damage then the Prototype. It does however, shoot waay faster.
Thank you for reading this episode, we hope you enjoyed it. Please, leave a comment, and if you liked it don't worry, this is going to be one of many! Maybe you want it longer, maybe shorter, just leave your opinion down below! We'll answer some of your myths/theories that you want tested next episode! Remember, these theories will be edited, based on the mistakes we made. As always, see you next episode.
