Yo pipeworker, are you ready to dominate zoners?
>>738116726I'm currently playing a melee pistol build and just refurbished my home so I can craft the good shit now. Still using an older game build before the dex nerf.
no. 1k hours, ive done all the builds and beaten dominating again and again. the latest update almost brought me back with the level cap increase, but I no longer have the time to dedicate to this game. still one of my absolute favorite games of all time though
>>738116881>refurbishing my homeeh, what?t. 600 hours in the game >>738117142even rocket launcher explosives?
>>738118050The core city mansion you get after the oligarch qeustline
>>738116726how is the ideal difficulty settingdominating but lesser boss health and veteran's Item sale value modifier?
>>738118143Oh shit. I don't think I ever completed that fully.
>>738118362There's hardly an ideal. Just do what you think is fun.One guy completed the game at level 1 with all difficulty sliders put on max.
>>738118491I finished my first dominating run years agoI remember hoarding everything and waiting around doing nothing for NPCs to refresh so much that it actually damaged my enjoyment of the game
>>738118664feeling that and now it's even worse because Styg heightened the crafting values for electronics
>>738118362>how is the ideal difficulty settingeasy is for game journosnormal is for first time playershard is for your first replaydominating is for your second replayit's perfectly balanced as it is
>>738119558this
>>738118664You really don't need to do this.
>>738121065you dont need to, but if youre stuck getting better equipment is imperative
Loading my pipe
>>738116726Do you have to use a build guide for your first run or it's not that hard?
Went in blind and made my first character a few days ago on easy mode. It's a sledgehammer tank character with high str and con.It has been a pretty frustrating experience to play as I'm just getting repeatedly stunned and snared and everybodys just kiting me around.At the same time nobody can really kill me because it's on easy. I even killed Balor without too much trouble and took his unique hammer.Even though it was supposed to be a sledgehammer build I end up dealing 80% of my damage with grenades. Even the throwing nets don't help enough with catching the enemies so that I can actually smack them.I'm probably going to bump up the difficulty to normal and make another character with more int so I can actually craft something, what kind of build would you guys recommend? Maybe something with guns this time, something actually good.
>>738123816Assault rifles are braindead simple. Pump PER whenever possible, get 7 STR for the full auto perk (more if you want heavy armor), the rest is up to you.
>>738123612No, just use common sense. If you're going to make noodle arm hammer dude or blind sniper you're going to have a bad time but just follow common sense.I honestly don't believe it's possible to make a build that couldn't beat the game on normal even if you go full retard like stated above.
What's the most fun build
>>738123612It's not that hard, a quick glance at that the feat list on making a character can give you an idea on what builds are possible and fun.
>>738116726I'm not ready mentally yetI will But I need to warm up with more games designed for humans
>>738124801Okay thanks. What's up with the fortitude stat by the way? My guy has 80 fortitude but I don't think I've ever restisted a single stun.
>>738125594>What's up with the fortitude stat by the way?Just forget it exists even if you build specifically for maximum fortitude and/or resolve at best your odds are like 50% chance to resist a status effect. If you want to avoid getting statused you need items or feats, it's a guarantee or it's nothing.
>>738125594Take thick skull feat if you want to avoid stuns, also there is escape artist for getting out of nets and other bindings.
>>738125031crossbow stealth is pretty soulful
>>738125031PK (tin can) muscle wizard. even super memey jank like https://underrail.info/build/?Hg0DAwkDBwgARQDChwAARVpFPgDCjHM8VHAAwoIAVQAAPCsIT1ANKhRpX2JVwofCi0vDlMK2wo08w4DiorUC4qmiAuKrhgXirKoG374 was a breeze to play all game and super FUN.
>>738126039forgot to mention that expertise is stand-in for polymath, hence a bit fucked up skills etc.
>>738123612It's easy to softlock yourself through insufficient DPS, always specialize your dude in one or two weapon types at most.
>>738125896Ah, I didn't have enough stats to make those show up. I guess I should go through each feat carefully to figure out what would actually be useful.
>>738123612Just remember to max stats and don't do middle of the road shit and you're fine. Find an attribute and committ.
>>738116726DOMINATIN’
>>738118050>even rocket launcher explosives?ok you got me, i haven't played since the rocket was added but it's really not much different than the grenade launchers, which i did use extensively. did not warrant a new playthrough
>>738126039Thanks for the link
chem pistols and tin can shotguns were my two favorites on dominating. hoplite was a lot of fun but I only did that one on hard
>>738131719Personally I hated shotgun, but I probably didn't master it well.
Did stygger add being able to craft bullet casings with the new update or do we still have to find them from trash or shooting your gun? Kind of insane how you can craft anything from metal but casings? Nah that's too advanced.
>>738132367No idea! t. Pure melee build through ten playthroughs
how does the game feel after that absurd and out of nowhere +50% health for all enemies across the board stygg randomly added a few months ago? been meaning to go finish this game but i kept getting burnt out by the time i get to expedition so i've still yet to beat it
>>738123612- Max out your main weapon skill and stat, don't try to to do everything on one character. Check out the feats first to see what you want to get.- Get Sprint feat (movement is king for both breaking LoS and closing up as melee)- Invest in Stealth (encounters are much easier when you can pick fights and get the first turn of combat)- Invest in Throwing (grenades are on cooldown so you can't fully rely on them, but they complement every build with AoE and CC)- The game doesn't explain it properly, but everything that is considered a "light" weapon (all pistol types, SMGs, throwing knives, regular knives, fists) also benefits from investing into DEX as it reduces light weapon AP cost, meaning more attacks per turn.- Don't invest into crafting skills until you find blueprints and figure out how the crafting system actually works. You can raise them later. That being said, crafted gear is great.Other than that do what you want. Normal difficulty + Oddity EXP system is recommended for first turns. If in doubt, throw more grenades.
>>738135472Oddity sucks, bro
