Kenshi: Crossbow training tutorial | Power of Cheese

so somebody asked me on reddit to make a video on this and i've been meaning to make videos on my kenshi cheese strats and kenshi uh i guess training quote-unquote uh for ages anyways because when people ask me on twitch i uh i always just have to tell them rather than show them so this way i can show somebody how to do something how to do a specific training without actually needing to physically always do it every time i stream kenji um so today we're training crossbows crossbows and perception oops wrong button this and this now i've assembled a variety of races here and uh sub races so we've got a greenlander a scorchlander a check a hive worker and hive prince i don't have a hive soldier because why the heck would you ever make a hive soldier a crosswoman that doesn't mean you can't but everybody should know the result of that one we're also not doing a skeleton because well the skeletons do everything reasonably well they're skeletons that's that's what they are um i'm going to showcase off how each of these kind of levels separately because obviously the check is probably going to be a little slower than for example um the hive prince so uh first of all you have to have a crossbow obviously you need a crossbow for crossbow training any bolts any crossbow will do i'm pretty sure different crossbows don't level you faster for this purpose though i do all have high grade toothpicks on everybody here so it's all the same crossbows so that nothing is skewed in favor or something then you want to head to mourn as soon as you're in mourn you want to find this giant centerpiece of a a former lab or abandoned headquarters as they call it i call them labs and you want to head a bit just uh just head to this door make sure that nobody really sees you once you're up here you kind of want to hide in the corner because if they see you picking this door they will murder you or smashing this door i guess looks like we're smashing it but yeah you can just stand in this corner here and you should be fine just smash this open or pick it open if you have somebody with lock picking i just started this fresh so i don't have anybody with lock picking so there's that as a reason otherwise you know i'd be getting into this pretty quickly but i decided to do this on like a fresh play through this is the freedom seekers after this you can stop sneaking you don't have to be sneaking up here they can see you up here just as long as they don't see you messing with their door it's fine and then you want to go to the back side now the lab has four entrances two at the front right beside each other and then two separated by a single wall you can do it against this wall too but i prefer this back wall because it's longer and there's less likelihood of them accidentally finding the target that we'll be training on through like a door or something then you just line your people up at the back here do what you will they don't even have to be lined up i just like to line them up in case they do for some reason decide to shoot a bolt and shoot it into each other and then you don't notice and they bleed out and then you have to f9 to reload a quick save and it's a mess it's a mess you don't want it next thing you want to do once you have your people lined up here is make sure they're on ranged and this one's really important make sure they're on hold this needs to be pressed otherwise they will walk in order to shoot the target that's inside here for kenshi veterans you already know what's inside here but for those of you who don't don't go past this point in the video because i will spoil it now so click off the video this is all you need to know for training this is already done the video is already over just line them up here put your person on sneak and border on the inside here that's all you need to know that's everything but for the purposes of the video i'll be going further so just click off here if you don't want it spoiled alright onwards um for the next part here you want your person you're one person that isn't training crossbows so in this case our old soldier here you want them sneaking and just bordering in you don't you don't need them to go in far you just need them to establish sight inside the building so you don't have to be inside the building you just barely have to be touching you see how i'm kind of like just barely inside the building and it gives me line of sight that's all you need and then with these guys you want to right click this great white gorilla and you want to attack unprovoked he's not going to move he doesn't see the old soldier the old soldier is not a threat because it's not actually inside the tower where the great white gorilla will be mad at him and these guys will just permanently aim at the wall because they're on hold and they're not allowed to move and they'll just be training crossbows all day all night and it does it pretty darn quickly so we're gonna four times this i'm gonna cut it probably out of the video a bit but i'll go for like a day or two or something like that and we'll see just how far we get in terms of like two days worth of training it's it's very easy it's basically free xp like there's nothing that's going to threaten you here in mourn other than if you know like an elder beak thing wanders down here and starts slaughtering the town well it doesn't come up here anyways so you should be safe it's it's probably the safest crossbow training that you can do and it's probably the easiest crossbow training you can do the downside of this is you do not train precision shooting so this is very dangerous to do if you have like an all crossbow group that's shooting into each other they're gonna start wrecking each other because they will do a lot of damage like a lot so keep them on toothpicks for a while and train their precision shooting they likely won't hit each other because they'll be so accurate because of all this training but in case they do they will they will murder people so don't start equipping people with eagles crosses because they will take your own people's heads off um and they also don't train dexterity so their reloads are still going to be very slow now i do also have a way to train dexterity through cheese and i can show you guys that as well if you want a video on that i also have a way to train toughness uh strength i mean strength is really basic it's just hauling rocks around in a circle but you can follow guards which is that's literally the cheese tutorial for that so that one's super easy probably will never make a video on that but there's all kinds of ways to train everything through the power of cheese basically so if you guys want any kind of a video on any particular skill i can i can probably make a video turrets there's no real way to cheese it just make a make a thing and crank up like put something in the fog lands make some turrets and just crank up horde size multiplier and just go to town preferably with skeletons who are really good turret guards to begin with because they don't need but yeah you can see you can see here that some people are leveling just a little bit faster than others and that's because of the 1.2 times multiplier uh this would be leveling dexterity faster for this guy but you know it doesn't level decks so this is all you're doing you can just put it on four times you can make yourself a cup of tea you can go have dinner or something and then come back and your squad will be fully trained it's basically just free afk training and that's the training in roughly a day i guess yeah it's about a day's worth of training so everybody's got 37 crossbows across the board here i mean they're still going at it you know whatever but 37 crossbows across the board pretty decent result uh 59 perception on everybody that doesn't have a bonus and for the one that does have a bonus he has five extra perception at 64. not an insane bonus but you can definitely see why you might want hive princes as you know marksman or something like that i prefer hive drones myself because dex bonus but everything works also uh hive have drones run faster than uh hive princes speed speed you just kite crossbows anyways that's pretty much the video guys uh thanks for watching i uh i might do more of these if people want i might uh things for toughness etc uh decks attack all those things uh defense is really easy that one i don't think anybody really needs a tutorial on you just press block and run into hordes of things especially big things but yeah i might do more of these thanks for watching guys hope you have a good day
