1.0 is out. How are you runs going?
>youyour*
>>2465367HAHA
>>2465367now you fucked up!
is it any good? can be hard to tell from steam reviews with any sseth hyped game
One of my bloodbath pattern pants broke completely and I evac'd with it without noticing.I don't have the recycler unlocked yet, can you throw broken stuff in and still get something out of it? Simply trashing them doesn't sit right with me.
>>2465366I took the ancom story mission after your return the data. was on my way out, free and clear with the mcguffin, went down the wrong corridor and died.
feels very grindy. if i die it's always because some rando suddenly walks around a corner and rips half my body apart before i get to react.
>>2465366Good, but im sick of shitt rewards and tecko or whatever the starting quasis name is dogpilling conquests with insane missions. I finish a 4 floor rape fest and get a handful of pubes and some packed lunches. I just want daydream chem to lock in and start making their good weapons…
>>2465366died 3 times in a row.fml.
>>2465366what do you get weapon parts from?i tried disassembling turrets and that seemed to be the only thing that worked.
>>2465366Is it weird to listen to soul music and play quasimorph? Am i participating in some sort of cognitive dissonance?
>>2466125Repair kits fix broken armor. So just armor kit the bloodbath
>>2466224Have you tried disassembling weapons? One of ship upgrades also lets you disassemble them fully with no part missed and then even get additional resources.
>>2466224Weapons duhBut the nerfed manual disassemble really sucks>>2466118Do you like grinding? Are you a compulsive hoarder? If you answered yes twice, then this game is for you
>hunger doesn't matter b/c food is everywhere if you bring sorbent and a knife>quasi meter doesn't matter b/c you can just bring alch+sorbent, cigs+barafenil, morphine+nalox>stealth doesn't matter because you can see 10 tiles and the enemy can only see 5>entire game is just repeatedly baiting the whole map into a hallway and shooting them from outside their visionthanks /v/, such an amazing game i guess...
>>2466341>>2466360the way you farm weapon parts now is to harvest robots you kill, you get tons of parts from amputating and disassembling the robots you kill.
>>2466118Sseth's review was two years ago.
>hard is too hard for me>normal is way too easy
>>2467019Just use custom difficulty I'm playing unfair but without the extra ap and one less floor per mission cause I always find them too long
>>2466586>he want to keep quasimorphosis lowWhat, are you afraid of your allies?
>>2467046Not him but those laser shooting sultan fucks are not my allies.
Item stacks on the ship should be set to infinite to avoid cluttering.
How difficult is this game, i'm a brainlet and was wondering if i would enjoy it.
>>2467509It's a roguelite so your mistakes will be punished but you don't need a particularly big brain to play
New update. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2059170/view/696521186693089976
>krav maga, the nothingburger meme jewish martial art that tries to hype itself up for such "revolutionary" ideas like "we hit sport-banned spots in reel battle and give circumcisions in training, noone could have thought of that", is the game's name for the passive skill/perk that improves a clone's unarmed combat instead of something believable like karate, no gloves boxing or Nanto Seiken>cannibalism>some Russian's cosmology they were inspired by was modified so that there are no forces of good. only evilWho is the jew among their writers?
>>2468103oh, also:>basically 0 Russian names among the characters, including clone templates, 1-2 among the station names, which either means that devs didn't want to associate Russia with such a shitty setting or the writer decided to be "cool", "original" and jewish by making Russians nobodies in a Russian game that has characters and orgs from all over the globe (Sunlight Coven's CEO is a fucking Celt) and the team was fine with that, maybe because of the first reason
>>2465370>Dat PNG quality.
>>2468103>>2468115retard
>>2468103writer is a phd philosopher... well, you know how it is. the good with the less so. i don't take issue with the heavy featuring of cannibalism though, it seems fitting.
>>2468103To be fair, the book they use as a reference makes Earth's situation bleak from the get go. Even if they kept the goodness in that book, Humans are just twisted cattle who exist to radiate gavvahk courtesy of the Big G himself.
>>2468182Cannibalism is debatable, just that I heard an opinion that at least some incidents involving cannibalism among normal humans were more from getting mentally damaged after food poisoning. Of course it could always be just a case of "clones aren't people" or "he's been fighting for 12 minutes, of course he has to resort to cannibalism if he wants to survive". And it's usually bad for player unless he wants stronger demons on his ass. Btw does the clone start benifiting from higher levels of quasimorphosis if the player fits it with the quasimorph body parts?>>2468202I've read that the original author still writes that the devil WILL be defeated.Krav maga is like the biggest and smallest thing here. It's a fringe nothingburger with only notable attributes is that it is being lauded "jewish martial art" and that its idea is "revolutionary jewish behavior" as if going for the kill is unthinkable for other martial arts in real combat applications, thus making it "superior". It randomly being the face of the unarmed combat in the game makes it the most believable that the someone on the team is a jew or a jewish dickrider.
>>2468247>>2468103Nigga your /pol/brain is so obsessed with nooticing jewry that you somehow didn't notice the skill belong to the Golem Group class, the worst class to play outside of sitting in a corner with turrets in defense mission because it has nothing else going for it except buffing "allies"
Sucked balls.After starting over 5 times I deleted my save. Will wait until the bestiary update or until the storylines updates/DLCs.
>>2468324I know it's a golem class skill, dumbass, I am arguing against golems being able to outperform others in unarmed combat because their jewja masters shared their secrets of jewjutsu. They could as well swap perks with pack rats, for example. Rats get bonus to melee because "cornered rat attacks ferociously" and golems get the Harmful Symbiosis or what's it called (because jews need to keep the golems sedated).
>2468334>I know it's a golem class skill, dumbassThen why are you being retarded and popping a vein over the name of a tongue-in-cheek skill that is completely worthless and outclassed by every weapon in the gameQuit shadowboxing your schizophrenia and take your meds
>>2468342You kikeniggers still feign absolute retardation in place of being capable of holding dialogue, I see.
>>2468247>I've read that the original author still writes that the devil WILL be defeated.Defeat in this case being Jesus Christ sneaking into Hell because Big G is too strong to fight directly and rescuing the Anti-Christ from Gagtungr's BDSM dungeon deprives him of his biggest source of gavvahk. After that everything falls apart like dominoes.
>>2465366
>>2465366watercolor was an odd fucking choice for quasis banner, wasn't it?
>>2468390So Jesus solidly sneaks his way into Big Gagtungr's version of Heaven and takes out the means he used to terrorise the world with? And the author predicted that by 1958, 29 years before 1987? Bravo, Andreev.
>>2466586>Obstacles don't matter because the game gives you ways to overcome themWhat the fuck are you even bitching about you retard?
>>2469387Mechanics and obstacles being easily trivialized means they are unengaging, yes. You retard.
>>2469387dunning kruger retard
How do you reply without sounding mad?
>>2470104I simply live with the pain
kinda wish there was a training room or something where I could test builds and gear loadouts
>>2470109Can't you do that with the console?
>>2465366Got tunnel rats and research unlocked early for the first time, putting marauder on Francis ten missions in feels like cheating
good weapons to mod? been slowly working on this emag weapon and shoving it on Francis
>try story mission in early access, get obliterated immediatelyoh okay I'll just come back to them in midgame>1.0, do AnCom's missions>they tell me to bring down SBN's score, which I've been building up for the last 40 hours>contact Xiomara>tells me to get my reputation with RealWare up after I spent the last 40 hours going scorched earth on their assesI was lucky enough to pass both missions on first try during this playthrough but now there's a brick wall in front of me.also should mention that AnCom's second mission requires you to have electroguns but instead of making it explicit it in the briefing, the game misleads you by telling you that you'll be able to figure out what you'll need during the mission, except the mission is against a faction that never uses electric guns and thus you won't find any.
>>2470165You get 25 score change per mission (if you upgraded magnum fully), so you can max out a rep with a faction from -100 with 8 missions. And you can do target eliminations or intel recovery in 5-10 minutes....Well, now when I'm typing it out, I guess it does take some time even if you know your stuff.
>everyone's fucking awakening/unsealing/creating Gagtungr for one reason or another whether they want it or notImagine they make a storyline where you join Shedu's Thousand the only real-space faction whose leader explicitly and honestly wants to awaken Gagtungr without hiding it because of his newfound loyalty and it's like the first storyline that ends with you somehow making Gag's future life extremely painful. For him.
>>2470173I just don't like the idea of doing a 180 on a longstanding client and a longstanding enemy for seemingly no reason beyond my, as a player, knowledge that I'm "advancing a story".AnCom is not telling me that at the end of this journey riches beyond my wildest dreams are waiting for me or anything like that. The game gives you no motivation whatsoever to do any of the story missions I've seen so far, if anything, every time Jane opines on what you're doing she says that it's a waste of time/unnecessarily dangerous/a betrayal waiting to happen and she's proven right every time, immediately - you're never actually baited before the switch happens. How did they make a game about amoral capitalist mercenaries and then not give them even a promise of a material incentive to follow?
>>2470179Good point and compelling argument. Frankly, participating in any story mission is basically self-sabotage (beyond unlocking Phase bomb). Now that the game is 1.0 it will never change though.
>>2470179>I just don't like the idea of doing a 180 on a longstanding client and a longstanding enemy for seemingly no reason beyond my, as a player, knowledgeBut anon, an aeons old quasispider full roastie told you to do it, will you really give up just because you undeservingly think you know better than her?
>>2470185Adding two new active factions and a brand new bramfatura in a formerly safe zone is fun and content. And Shedu's Thousand looks like one of the best factions in terms of style, since it employs both humans and quasimorphs equally. And it doesn't look like a lazy resking of Tezktlan like the Feathered Masks.
>>2470189doing bizarre things on Teztclan's or Xiomara's behalf can be justified somewhat because you know from the get-go that they're a weird alien threat and there are no rules when this sort of thing is involved. I can suspend my disbelief to perceive my PMC commander entering a Lovecraftian bargain with a world-ending threat. It's much harder to justify sticking with AnCom after they treat you like shit and then betray you because they're presented as just regular corporate assholes.another thing I would add to the bitching pile when it comes to these "raise arbitrary stat to an arbitrary number" in-between missions is that this is supposed to be a hyper-capitalist society. We should be able to just TRADE for whatever shit we want. Yeah, sure, if they hate us they'll rip us off, but I don't see a point in being railroaded into having good/bad relationship with various entities when minimal effort could have highlighted the setting's somewhat unique nature.
>>2470191>and a brand new bramfatura in a formerly safe zone is funYou get one more on Saturn after you conclude one of the main questlines, but whatever. You get your forever post-game with more toys, but as far as narrative is concerned - you have destroyed the world and everything you do is pointless.
Nice
I've only completed xiomara questline, and the part of ancom that was still incomplete in 0.9How do the other story compare in difficulty? I want the easiest one for my unfair run
>>2470179I dunno, the story missions all effectively being a trap that just makes things worse for everyone is fairly on theme.
>>2470205I meant that unless you really like the Tezctlan rep (and Civil Res?) or hate being friendly with Realware, Xiomara's questline rather quickly gives you 2 new factions, a new bramfatura and the engine without your rep getting tanked anywhere important (first Oasis mission will get your rep with Realware tanked if you lose it, but if you bring a few mines and maybe a turret it shouldn't be a problem to clear). After that you can just stop doing plot missions for her. Though those fucking plot missions might be a problem actually. Devs should add a function to be able to ignore plot stuff on stations in favor of doing normal stuff, like bartering or conquering them for some faction .
>>2470534my problem is that the trap exists only on a meta level and there's no trap in-universe. It would have been simple and perfectly reasonable to expect a game about amoral capitalist mercenaries to have a story about getting over your head and potentially dooming the entire universe due to greed, but that's not the driving force of any of the plots.You're told ahead of time that the missions you'll embark upon are dangerous by Jane and the game's interface (so, no trap). You're not promised riches, or secret tech, or anything cool by your employers (so, no bait). The only reason to do story missions is that they're there and doing story missions is what players do in video games.People talk shit about Spec Ops: the Line all the time, but that game's whole story revolved around messing with players' expectations when you unthinkingly Just Do What the Game Tells You and it backed the metanarrative with pressure within the actual narrative. In Quasimorph, there's no pressure, no bait, trick, no trap, no nothing.If that's the case, why have a story at all? The game's fun enough on its own. They should have taken a page out of Battle Brothers' book and done something like crises instead. Alien invasion, an all-out corporate war, something like that.
>>2470669Just started modding the heretic as well for Boudicca on Tunnel Rat, pretty fun
>>2468334you must have such a depressing angry life
Training perk on every single classI'm tired of the satiety bar being more threatening than the quasimorphosis bar
>>2472310I stopped using the buffalo cause of this
>>2470691well why don't ya cry about it?
>>2470669whats so great about the heretic? Aren't most shotguns better?
>>2472310Just equip regen implants and embrace starvation
>>2472310Your fear and hunger bro? Starving is a damage buff.
>>2472310>>2472373just pack a few cans, you'll have plenty of space with buffalo. Even in the early game, plastic is plentiful so you should be able to craft stacks upon stacks of moo-moo.The actual reason to use other backpacks is dodge percentage. Now that I don't have to scrounge for every piece of loot, I've reverted to the starting Tourist, which gives me extra 12%, but Sunlight Coven's late game backpack is easily the best option. And yes, I'm bringing two +1k cans on every mission.another thing is that you can do is cut active perks that destroy your satiety. Angel of Spades, for example, comes with a really shitty perk that will starve you to death if you try to camp.>>2472374nigger.
>>2472375Very good damage for when you get it and being T3 means the first 8 upgrades are pretty cheap
>>2472373While on Mars pursue getting a lot of canned beef. If you cook human meat with tin cans it removes quasimorphosis. You'll get a lot of tin, I agree that food is tedious busywork. I'd rather it be say, oxygen, and certain environments require oxygen to survive unless you have the right augment.>>2470534Honestly I'm just not a big fan of rape stories myself so hearing Tiomara mpregs you is really disgusting, even though I gather it's more Chestburster or metaphorical live birth q-lapse the way it happens to people. So that immediately turned me off of her campaign story even though I'd love to fight the shedu thousand. I know it's small potatoes but I just don't like it. I'll be fine with the other grimdark scenarios.>>2470165It doesn't take long to reverse it. It's +25 rep for a complete mission. So if you tanked it to -100 it's 4 missions to bring it to neutral, 4 to max it. I might be wrong and it's 20 rep in which case 5/5.
>>2468103>give circumcisions in trainingkek!
>>2465366Some Tips>Check your doors and your corners. Make sure you have full AP and are on run for corners.>Open doors diagonally so you can step out of sight. If you are facing a door when you open it you might still be in view.>When you think there might be enemies in the next room and the door is recessed, it might be better to shoot out a wall than try and open the door.>Sometimes you can cut through a wall to get to the elevator when you've cleared the floor or are trying to get to your objective.>If you are playing a defense mission and have brought turrets, sometimes its better to bring some extra ammo and remove the walls so they have a clear line of fire.>Shooting the wall next to a door will also destroy the door.>The reload bonus from putting a weapon in your third weapon slot from a helper backpack and the bonus from reloading from a quick slot on your vest stack.>If you are using a helper to carry and extra weapon or just want to keep your weight down, carry a buffalo in your inventory and loot once you've cleared the area or achieved your objective on the last floor.
>>2465367>they/them doesn't know about the you runs
>doing a mission>just as I finish it>didn't pay attention to quasimorphosis>it hit 1000>lose my favorite clonePretty bummed out bros ngl, this is the first time i hit 1000, I knew it was bad news but i didn't think it'd be a boss that just one shots you.
>>2474107why didn't you bring drugs?weren't you able to kill the baron?
>Shoot stack of boxes from 5 tiles away>A column of fire comes directly on to me and sets me on fire>The water cooler a few tiles away from it explodes too and dumps all its water on the ground
>>2474271Tips for killing baron?
>>2474298when you fight them, note their resistances. if they are not immune to something, blast them to hell with everything you got.
>>2468202what book?
>>2474311rose of the worldkinda neat but its sort of typical for 20th century far out there type stuff that resonates with some symbolic association within your deep cultural memory or something akin to such.go listen to gurdjieff music on youtube for free if you want to feel mystical, or read it and enjoy bramfatura popping up less frequently than you expect.Its suggest reading jewish mussar instead and maybe practicing krav maga
>>2474296Well did you stop drop and roll?
>>2474366In the far reaches of the future, such ancient knowledge has been lost to time.
>>2465366How is this /vst/?
>>2465366what up quasi niggers?
>>2474720shut up bitch
>>2465366My GOTY so far.This game just scratches a certain itch that no other game can satisfy.
>>2465366Its a catch 22>I can't fall asleep cause I want to play quasimorph>I can't play quasimorph cause I need sleep
>>2474298I got two barons for the first time earlier todayfirst one I blew straight to hell with 6 grenades and many rounds from random guns dropped by the poor ancom grunts that where put in my waysecond one I beat to death with the first ones flail and a few casts of tezcltan's renewal while hopped up on a cocktail of drugs and the cannibalism perk
>how it feels to start a naked Isabella Capet run
How the unholy FUCK do I do this god damn Ancom mission where I need to find a hellstrom chip? Am I supposed to save scum?For one, how do I even tell which colnade has it? I only stumbled into him out of luck. And then I finally manage to stun the asshole and he ends up getting shot from behind while twitching from assholes entering the other side of the room. I really enjoy the gameplay loop on regular missions but these story missions are pure AIDS.
>>2476095RRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I just discovered that you can throw nails... robo arm and nails is silent it seems.
>>2476170Wait till you learn what funger does to that, hell, or even enemy anatomy
>>2476095aren't they marked on your map?
Is there a way to speed up the ship moving between planets?
>>2476734NoBut there is fast travel that you unlock after progressing through story missions
>>2476726Not for me but I may have missed a map station that would've shown it.I managed to complete it by killing everyone in the first room by the elevator and noise made someone with a hellstrom chip come by the elevator to investigate. Zapped them, killed a couple of stragglers behind him while they were twitching and left.
Flamethrower is great
>>2476996I want to warcrimes with fire and poison, but I can't when I think of all the loot that get destroyed
>>2477006The mission is more important than loot.
Seems like most people have concluded that the game is a mess and the youtube jew shill has bamboozled us again.
>>2477006It's a simple choice for me>Burn this entire room>Have 10 enemies fuck me
it's pretty great that they necromantically resurrected leonard cohen to narrate this gayme
It's boring. The combat mechanics lack tactical depth, the maps have no significant interaction, and all the crafting, upgrade, and survival subsystems exist merely to provide tedious busywork to prolong the game rather than lending it complexity. I give it like a 2.5/5 for good graphics and lore.
>>2468103How the fuck would karate or boxing be more effective in a real fight that kicking somebody in the nuts, poking their eyes out, or choking them? You're the most schizophrenic ruskie since Andreyev.
>go to do xio's second mars mission against realware>sent my decked out invincible melee clone>wrecking shit, fags can't even touch her unless they got laser sights and that just does scratch damage>woops turns out you can't melee the bossthanks game
>>2477099You can kick somebody in the nuts in karate, poke their eyes out and choke them. I mean, you probably don't want to poke eyes in real combat when a forehead can probably meet those and break them (or fully concealing helmet like in the game) but you can try, nothing is stopping you. Jewniggers acting like they invented unarmed combat.
The game refuses to generate missions for my proxy on Venus despite plenty of places without missions and I am afraid it's those fucking stations the spider hag wants you to run through for her.Can you destroy Tezctlan in sandbox without going for the story? Because if not then yeah, it's a shit game. Next I am gonna learn Hexarchs and Resistance are also immune to fair market rivalry.
>>2477172>he doesnt carry 80 nails in his back pocket
>>2477195If you haven't turned the faction destruction off, everyone can be destroyed.Iirc the factions have area of preference for their conquest so maybe your proxy just doesn't care about Venus yet
>>2468247>>2468334>>2477183Jesse what the fuck are you talking about. Krav Maga being named in the game instead of Kung Fu or Ninjutsu or whatever got your Jew nooticer autism triggered? I think Krav Maga just has an aesthetic of "realism" and practicality or whatever over chink shit like karate and that's why it would be used as a name of a melee skill in some games. It doesn't matter if it's actually just as fake and gay, it's literally just aesthetics and getting mad over it is super autistic.What's the alternative? BJJ? It just doesn't sound as good, it's not that deep.
>>2477099>ow the fuck would karate or boxing be more effective in a real fight that kicking somebody in the nuts, poking their eyes out, or choking them?t. zero fighting experience
>Giant fucking mech walks out of a smoke cloud>One shots me with some rocket launcher bullshit>Had 60+ armour and full healthThis game can go fuck itself
>>2477405Nah, the destruction is on. I have 2 Venus stations under my control and there are still plenty of those without missions. Will try to play more and see if they let me destroy Tezctlan later in the sandbox. Are there a max of active (sabotage, attack, spying etc.) missions for factions? Could explain why the scanner for mission generation isn't working.>>2477662>find a giant fucking mech in some enemy's inventory, with guns and other high tech shit>spends most of its time tailing behind me and then just gets gunned down by enemies>find a sexbot>she has a pipe and kills at least 3 enemies with itHad a game where a battle droid did a bit better recently and actually killed 1-2 enemies but lol.
>>2477695Ally AI is really retarded>group of enemies>Bot engages>I move one tile away so they can't see/shoot me>Bot stands there staring at me and getting shot even though it is still in range and has LOS
>get a chemical burn (poison) on my stomach>can't take sorbenthow the fuck am I suppose to heal this? Hydrogel bandages clear burns, but this specifically says (poison) and has a poison icon so do I just spam med packs on it and hope it heals or what
>>2477662Your run is probably fucked, but I've found mine and the RNG of getting a good run making it so I can have the pain and HP to tank its initial stunlock spam until I can get a shot in and instagib it. Like xcom2 I don't like how much Quasimorph requires alpha striking, at least in the mid game. Later on and aside of cryo I'm feeling able to deal with even stunlocking lightning, but the spectre of alpha striking is still rather there.I stand on the position now that the genetic upgrade priority is HP to 200, pain resistance to 20, then either pain resist to 30 or HP to 300, but once HP Is 300 pain resist to 40. >>2477405Everyone but the hexarchs. They have bases on earf so they can 't be smote.>>2477006At a certain point aside of chips or augs, you'll not really want to bother with loot because you can just passively rely on mission rewards. That'll be late-ish game though, tech level 4-6 for me.>>2478089Medpack yeah. If your stomach is upsetti then it's medpack or morphine or anything to expedite the healing.
>>2478089Pretty sure hydrogel bandage heals poison wounds? I think you're confusing the poison status effect and the poison wound, sorbent would just clear the poison status but you'd still have the wound
Is Xiomara of the feathered masks suppose to be an ally or an enemy of humanity? I just summoned her into Venus on the thinking of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend (fuck tezctlan)"
>>2478131it doesn't say it does in game and it doesn't say it does on the wiki. I tried it once but it failed (though I know it's not 100% even if it does).You straight up just don't have a reliable way to treat chemical burns in the early game before you can craft medical glue, shit sucks.
>>2478163Yes, have sex with herThis will definitely not lead into any mpreg assbaby scenarios
Just got a bishop rifle... holy shit this thing is amazing. With armor pen rounds it just tears through everything
>>2478226Rate my setup:
>>2478228>chitinbased and redoran-pilled
>>2478228gross bugman
>>2478231That sounds like a corporate name. Gross bugman, attorney at law. Gross Bugman of Vandaly Industries, how can I help you.
>>2478256>VandelayFuck I misspelled it now Mr. Costanza's going to fire me. I need this job, it's hard out there for a bugman to get hired.
>>2466118Unless it was radically redesigned, no. The entire economy is fucked and revolves around bartering.
just unlock class development shit... modifying existing classes, (but not for anyone who currently has the class) seems like the worst possible way they could've implemented this. You lose the original class set up AND you have to start a merc fresh to use it. Should just allow you to actually make brand new class chips and name them yourself.
I'm currently on a death spiral (new player, playing on default hard since it's the actual normal mode/intended experience with default 100% modifiers). Had a good run, my "main" clone died because of a fuck up, second clone died again and lost more items and then a third, fourth.... I initially thought I could easily complete 1 skull diff missions on absentia areas but the enemies are too many and I just get outgunned before completing the objective. Each battle was clutch though a survival scenario while I pillage their weapons and armor replacing my emergency case equipments. The bandage and Splints/medkits took a toll on my supplies though (yes I'm using plastic and rags when they run out). Then when I'm at my wits end I looked up that difficulty ranking is mostly a lie and there are many factors influencing it. I guess I'll wait for she-wolf to regen from getting killed and try another run.
>>2476095>>2476802you need to use a shock weapon and hit them with 100% shock, use something light and piddly so you don't kill him. it will convert the enemy into an ally then it turns into an escort mission back to the elevator.
>>>/vrpg/
>>2478316do you just stand in the open while a group of enemies are shooting at you and try and just try and kill them one by one or what the fuck are you doing? is this your first video game? Objects and walls actually provide you cover. If you go out of line of sight enemies just run up on like lemmings to get killed the second they turn the corner
>>2478285the economy is fixed
>>2478322I can clear them fine but just get grinded down by the hordes of enemies. Like for example I cleared a whole horde of enemy, I turn to the corner to loot the corpses but there's still some enemies alive. Simple fuck ups which ends the current run. Or running out of decent healing options after mowing down hordes of enemies in floor 1-2 and floor 3. Simple beginner mistakes which can cause death. Plus the added effect of not having a mission win in a long time which makes the decision making go bad (such as planning to save medkits and just bringing 1 bandage and 1 splint for 1 run). Like I stated in the post it was an intense fight most of the time for a 1 skull difficulty (which I didn't expect before checking it up), I didn't mention that it was unfair or anything. I basically got most of the basics, but minor mistakes cost me the runs due to impatience.
>>2478365also once you leave mars and qausimorphs start spawning just walk away and let them and the corpos sort it outlove going into a room and being like "i'm just gonna scooch past you guys if that's alright" as they tear each other apart
>find a badass endgame gun on a diltheythem>it's total dogwater compared to my max damage TL3 conventional SMGupgrading anything besides TL3 weapons until very late game is the biggest noobtrap. 16 upgrades on a good TL3 weapon is far more valable than 10-12 on a TL6, let alone the 0 you can do on higher TL due to never having chips.
>>2478365Just stop making the dumb mistakes lol>planning to save medkitsMedkits are free and you can craft from the start on normal. 1 stack of meat, 1 stack of rags and another of plastic = 5 medkits so 5 missions until you need to refillAlso always keep an eye out for bottles, explosives and acid (dismantle batteries and poison ammo), if you run into a workbench later to make Molotovs or smoke/nail bombs, it'll make your life much easier when you spot a room filled with enemies
>>2478382I was just taking stacks of 5, but i found better heals. I just can't make them yet.
>>2478380Eh, that damage looks pretty weak even for many unupgraded guns. I guess its strength supposed to be the rare type of the damage?
>>2478395well it's a TL9 smg, it has alot more damage on paper per AP than stats suggest. but the main issue is entropy as a special damage doesnt stun like shock/ion/cold/cryolazer so it just sucks. and its also why piercing 12 gage flechette is the best ammo in the game combined with autoshotguns, which you then pair with a good status effect weapon for guaranteed stun
>>2478365 (me)>>2478373I accidentally triggered a baron ambush (first baron sighting) in my second mission post comeback (I managed to win one mission after this post). I forgot I was not in Mars anymore and quasimorphs spawn now. I ate human meat like there's no tomorrow because my merc clone was hungry and the BGM changed. It was a scrivnus Baron. Luckily I was on a protect the object mission for the Unchained belt. Which means I brought a lot of turrets (1 flame thrower and 2 normal shooty turrets). I managed to first try kill the first baron that showed up lol. I'm still not sure if I can complete the mission since I've spent a whole lotta ammo killing the baron but I'll try to push through. Hopefully only one baron can spawn per mission. I can't resist eating human meat since it's so cheap. The flame thrower turret got destroyed by my Assault rifle's spread hits. I also wised up that plastics and rags are pretty good and cheap replacements for bandages/splints on the she-wolf merc.
>>2478404barons are jobbers. youll soon realize barons are literal meatwaves to quasis, nothing specialpost magnums BTW
>>2477195>>2477405Turns out that part of the problem was that Tezctlan had two HQs on Venus. So yeah, I managed to kill his faction just fine.>Xiomara contacts me after I conquer the last HQ telling me to start her questlineShut the fuck up, ugly spider hag, noone cares.
>>2478407How many sultans though? And I don't complain but unless he gets better in other missions that first Urparp fight makes him to be a bigger bitch than a regular baron.
>Doing well in mission so far, looting and pillaging during a robbery>1 last item to steal and I'll be able to return home to my family in the Magnum>Moves towards a blindspot and gets one shotted despite being heavily armored and full hp (she-wolf)Welp that's fucked up but kinda my fault partially did not expect to get one shot by a random mook when I've been finishing the mission just fine. I will make sure to have 2 ap before moving to any blindspots in the future.
The game finally clicked on me. I can reliably (60% chance or so) clear most missions with the emergency case equipment (pillaging from the killed enemy for gear) if my current main clone dies. The game is really fun specially when you've finally grasped the mechanics and your clone feels like an unstoppable merc mowing down countless targets. I no longer fear the higher difficulty (higher skulls) mission since there's barely any difference from 1 skull and a lotta skulls (you can still die from a stupid fuckup). I'm slowly branching out from my safe zone (quasimorph free zones in mars) into the quasimorph locations.The best part currently in the game is the BGM when the Quasimorph counter increases. I plan to play my first playthrough as a full human (no pacts with quasis) and anti corpo (well the civil resistance hate me) but currently being a wagie for the corpos to get stronger (I plan to side with the UB Pirates).
>>2478318I know, I was struggling with locating and keeping the fucker alive. I was able to finish the mission. Got a chip to build this fucking beast, so it was worth it.
How the hell do you make a melee character work? What class and clone perk preset? Feels like melee is kinda shit when guns can obliterate you from a mile away, especially on higher difficulties.
>>2479352You throw nails mostly
>accidentally start a mission before i quip anything>its She-Wolfthank goodness.
oh dang... which of the minors should i take over... i like the PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX boys
>>2479352>>2479585Use She-Wolf, give her nails to throw, i throw a robot arm/shouldre muscle upgrade on her to make her throwing more gooder, pick up guns on the run as needed for your sidearm. its actually kind of nice to pick up a gun, use it till its out of ammo, picking up the next one (or best one) and moving on.
Fuck. I'm currently trying to clear Ship of Ghouls and I'm well prepared with what I brought. What I wasn't prepared is the FOOD consumption is so high. I brought 3 full sets of canned food (1k calories, 2 item per set total of 6). And a moo-moo (5 pieces for 300 cal) for good luck charm food. I've cleared the dock (1st floor), and the arsenal so far (3rd floor). I'm currently at the engine room entrance and I'm OUT OF FOOD. I should've brought more food, I brought too many healing items and I thought the food would last me until mission end. Enemies barely drop food (unless you're counting human flesh but that'll increase the quasi meter and I'll put that as a last resort). I'm playing as Jan so no free human meat from she-wolf. I got meds to manage it but it'll be close..
>>2480434Not enough food from looting corpses? No stoves anywhere? Seems unlikely but fill up on human meat and just kill the baron
>>2480434 (me)WELP I fucking died due to getting stunlocked by the AMOGUS. I thought it was a melee attacker only. I got zapped (I have 0 electric resist because of implants sexbot head and legs) and I thought I wouldn't bother adding the shock wound immune since it only decreases my radiation and heat res but it doesn't even give the 25 elec res due to my elec res being so low (into the negatives). I thought "what are the odds I'll die due to getting SHOCKED", specially when I got wallhacks with my augments and Jan. Fuck there were so many mistakes made, I did not bring enough food is the number 1 reason. Which made me go scavenger meat connoisseur. Which summoned a baronaz and I killed him easily after bunkering down. He helped me clear the engine room of Coreward personnel. Then when I was going to the actual engine to refuel it, I MISPLACED MY SNIPER RIFLE... IDK how I DID it but what I got equipped is a fucking WRENCH. I must have switched weapon when looting on the way there and probably ACCIDENTALLY disasemble it. Anyways, what's done is done since I only realized it when I was at the ENGINE room and the pirate allies (useless) arrived. Then a spawn of enemies happened, cleared them easily with my AR (retribution or something t8 AR). Mission objective UPDATED. Go to the command room and Kill the fuckers and you're almost done. When I was about to leave the engine room, there were 3 faggots waiting to ambush me. I killed them all due to knowing where they are. THEN AMOGUS APPEARED. No problem I've killed this a couple of times already, that anon who told me that I'll probably get stunlocked by this is probably overexaggerating... I JUST NEED TO KEEP MY DISTANCE in this barrel and the melee attack won't HIT me.>Cue the WRATH of GOD RANGE shock attackFuck I'm stunlocked.Fuck I'm dead.10/10 would probably clear this on the 3rd try, AFTER I farm what I lost in that raid attempt. I'll ADD a shock wound immune implant the next time...
