      the only legit kill I remember was achieved by a cheetah it hadn't eaten in a long time and had to feed a cub so it got a lot of attack bonuses through that but it still took 4 hours like I'm to lazy to cook for half an hour for a delicious meal that cheetah had to strangle a nonstop screaming badger for 4 hours for some little raw meat so yeah it's one of the least efficient ways to grind XP you might spend more ressources to recover from the battle than you end up looting it's rare someone is desperate enough for this

    Hot take: Honey Badgers get an artificial boost on most tier lists because every single Honey Badger main is a tryhard. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but I have yet to meet a single Honey Badger main that wasn't a tryhard and I would honestly love to be proven wrong. Same thing goes for Geese because of their toxic player base. I swear it's like having a high intimidation stat without actually investing that many points in it simply because no one wants to deal with that shit. If you ever see the Goose build put at the top of S-Tier, I guarantee you that tier list was made by a Goose main. Every single time.

      A build doesn’t need OP stats to count as top tier. The ability to make an otherwise average build work on the highest level when used to it’s full potential is something I’d call a „natural/true top tier“. It’s obvious that the badger has a very tough quest line to unlock it as a playable character, considering the tryhard density in badger mains. Competing directly with specialist builds that are meant to be top tier with a balanced build provides much more engaging gameplay than their competitors. You might see it as toxic or smurfing, but I see it as the quintessential high risk, high reward build, that only works so well because it’s a hard counter to meta-hugging.

The second big advantage they have is unlike the florida man build, they wont have to deal with the madness buildup that happens to floridiam mains from time to time.

    @hrothgardevaitos8330 Před 3 lety +40

    An important part of the wolverine (and badger) playstyle that you forgot to mention is the intimidation factor. When playing, players are constantly sizing up prey in a risk/reward fashion, and asking themselves: 'is the exp I'll get from this really worth risking my whole playthrough for?' And that's what honey badgers, and to a larger extent, Wolverines, are going for. Yes, a polar bear can 100% solo a wolverine. It's almost never worth it for the polar bear, however. The fact is, wolverines and badgers do not care about their own lives, and will go out of their way to spite, maim, and possibly kill, those that would mess with them. This MAY end their playthrough, and usually does, but that's just it: A predator that just tangled with one of these animals is either going to be so hurt from the fight that it'll impact the duration of the rest of their playthrough in a HUGELY negative fashion, OR they'll just flat out die from their wounds.
    This makes it so that, whenever a predator sees a scavenged carcass with a wolverine attached, they'll steer clear. They'll even be willing to just hand over their own kills to the darn thing, just to avoid tangling with the crazy psychopath that is known as the Wolverine Main.
    Which is precisely what Wolverine Mains want. When they fight to the death against a predator many times their size, they aren't planning for their OWN continued playthrough, but for subsequent playthroughs, as well as the playthroughs of other wolverine mains. In my opinion, this exploitation of player psyche actually ranks them on a higher spot than the one you've assigned them, here.

    The reason mustelids are so good at getting crits against other players and intimidation is because their intelligence is closer to a primates than most other carnivores. Otters and ferrets are famous for their ability to play, recognize property, stealing shiny things (like crows), and wolverines and otters have more complex family structures than any other apex predator, except cetaceans and primates, which is pretty ridiculous when you consider they're generally solitary animals! Their intelligence is masked by their testosterone levels, which brings out some really unbelievable aggression but they're so cleaver they get away with fighting grizzlies. Mustelids are a relatively new family also, the wolverine found its niche during the late Pleistocene, when the complex, incredible savanna ecosystems were collapsing! The same situations that made arctodus simus and panthera atrox go extinct was the situation that wolverines were able to capitalize on.

    Just wanted to add two notes:
    1. The otter has the densest fur in the entire animal kingdom. The most hairs-per-inch of every living creature. This is what allows it to be aquatic. Not only does it insulate on its own, it traps air which provides an additional layer to prevent heat from escaping.
    2. The honey badger has a special team up relationship with the honey bird. The bird finds beehives and leads the badger to it. The badger rips apart the hive, sedates the bees, and eats the honey. The bird prefers the leftover wax.

    @skitstheskitty2787 Před 5 lety +604

    Sea otter main here. While I enjoy the representation of otters, the separation of river otters/giant otters and sea otters needs to be stated here. Only sea otters have unlocked the tool use perk, so no tool using giant otters for you. Also, sea otters have ridiculous food costs, needing 25% of their body weight in food everyday to survive. They're not light, either, weighing an average of 50-60 pounds and the heaviest being 110 pounds. The food cost gets even higher with a baby, so high that sea otter mothers have to make one of their babies quit if they have twins.
    This is because sea otters don't have any blubber in their build, so they rely on their metabolism and fur to keep warm. The trade-off is that you aren't as good of loot as marine mammals with blubber, such as seals, but it's not that good of a trade-off.
    The real reason you play a sea otter is for the ecosystem you're a part of, as the sea otter build is a keystone species to the kelp forest server. Without sea otters, places called 'urchin barrens' spring up, where sea urchins gang up on any kelp loot that shows up, hence the name.
    Nice video otherwise!
