High frequency shield bros report in
There's very little reason to ever use high.
Maybe your small penis fits in the low frequency dome but my chad metal clad dick needs high frequency shield
i think literally the only problem with this game is the speed of the base game. playing on cheat engine with even a meager 2x makes it far more fun
I just cheated myself in an extra 100 points to raise traps just so I can fucking see them on my low per character
>come at me, bre
What's with the weird effective skillpoint curve around 70? Every single time I cross that threshold it takes at least 5 points to break this barrier
Synergy bonuses can't raise skills above the base cap for whatever your level is. You're level 12 so your cap is 70. You either need to spend a lot of points so you can break 70 without needing synergy bonuses or just raise your level so the cap goes up.
Sheeeeit, I didn't know that - thanks
Ancient rathound leathers - where might I find them?
I know there's one by the King and another in the arena, but neither respawns. There's some in DC, but that's no bueno.
Use detection goggles you dumb zoner
>>/vg/
Heard some other anons say in previous threads that it's only possible in a Dominating run and I'm guessing that's the case cause I've sure as shit haven't seen any more than what you just mentioned on my Hard runs. Lvl 10 on my current Dominating run I haven't seen any yet but if the pattern persists (already had to deal with giant Azuridae and Plasma Sentries) I'm guessing they will spawn randomly in rathound packs across the map.
If you joined Praetorian Security you can fight one as part of their missions. If you joined someone else it's unavailable, though.
There's one in the gauntlet but you may or may not get the floor that includes it, and you have to steal the leather back after it's over.
There are a bunch around the place if you play dominating. Maybe you should have just played dominating.
Sometimes they're alone too.
They're a fun surprise.
Well, fuck. So I have a total of two, maybe three shots to get a good hide... sigh
I suppose the next question is: how is loot determined? When a mob is created? It would allow me to get at least one of high quality (could reload arena) which would be good enough
WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE USE POISON WHEN YOU HAVE TASERS AND FIRE ARROWS
>When a mob is created?
Yeah. I don't know if the arena rathounds are spawned at the start of the game like most enemies or if they're generated as the fight starts, though. The later fights are generated as you start them so you can save/load to get new drops, but the rathounds are the first fight so they might be pregenerated. Not sure. You'll have to find out.
Thanks, zoner
There aren't enough gasoline vendors in this game
reminder
Just get 40 chemistry so you can use magnesium. More places sell it and it's better anyway.
Holy shit, I didn't know magnesium also worked for molotovs and incendiary ammo. Thanks for the tip.
fellas
Best psifag armor?
best freq. modulator?
Best psi ability/feat?
TELL ME
Well, it's good on caltrops.
Or, you know, just pressing + or - on the numpad could also work
This game is so mothafuckin' cocksuckin' gay. Can't even fuckin' run. Get this shit off the fuckin' board bitch.
>Best psifag armor?

should I make my shield low/low? I've been making them low/medium but now that I have access to high quality components from ocubros I might go low/low
i feel like im doing something wrong
>fighting faceless
absolute Motioner
Im currently in deep caves. Does the gamenend once im finished here or can i keep playing after main story is complete? I want to tackle the expedition dlc but dont feel like starting a new charachter
You can keep playing. The game only ends when you pick the "end the game" option.
>having to pay for the game to end.
Ok cool thanks. Now i just need to find some tnt so i can blow up the mutagen tanks
It is decided then.
how do i get the shield emitters without turning protectorate hostile?
go through the tunnel, kill everyone inside the building, exit the building through the tunnel you came through, kill the 2 guys you aggro immediately
they'll never know
>kill Nicolas and get 850 shinies from Olivia
>narc on them both and get nothing
I don't necessarily want to do this, but I do enjoy money...
How do shock combat gloves and incapacitated from cheap shots work? Does it apply the electrical damage first?
Also what's the diff between using serrated steel and serrated tungsten blade?
I think you get more exp if you nark on them.
I'm not sure about the cheap shots interaction, but the only difference between the different blade/spike metals is weight and value. It's dumb.
I just crafted stealth gear (balaclava, cave hopper armor with black cloth, ninja tabis, cloak device) and ran around trying not to bump into any of them
Has anyone actually found Implosion to be useful in combat? Since it doesn't bypass damage resistance I always feel like it deals less damage that any of my other psychokinesis skills
are there any non-pistol guns that come in .44
besides that shitty street sweeper
also why can't you make exploding fiddy rounds
I usually go low/low, you still get more than enough coverage in the medium and high ranges with good enough components.
Sorry for the late reply, fellow oculite
What stats do you want as a punch wizard
Is there any consequence to killing the toll troll on Junkyard?
proxy + implosion + punch for huge dmg to 1 target
it works nicely with that 'bomb' skill, nets you 600+ aoe
Wait there's a difference in shields? I just bought the one with the highest value and turn it on.
Keep going you are doing great!
low medium and high frequencies prioritize defense against certain weapons in a way, though all shields lean towards high velocity so a lot of people go for low/low to make them more useful against the low velocity stuff

Psychosis is a trap.
high freq shields are good against fast and very fast projectiles (snipers, plasma etc), but you should already have plenty of defense against that. Low velocity attacks (melee, crossbows) can usually fuck you up more because it's more difficult to spec your armor against them, so it's better to protect yourself with low freq shields.
tranq is much better sub-15 or so, but perma-30% hp psychosis is the single best build in the game - provided you manage to last until you craft your first OP shield
>doppelgangers are still active after the caster dies
fucking why
Here, I made this from what I could get from one early late game merchant run.
Another user here, just made an amazing med/med shield on my tin can but the expedition didnt give me any high quality low frequency parts. Also which is better efficient or conservative
Efficient is the only type worth making. Conservative's bonus doesn't really matter, and amplified is worse than nothing most of the time. Always go efficient.
how to open door near gerhard paige raider?
You can't. Omega is permanently closed.
Maybe just carry bandages durrr.
Can someone explain to me how synergies work in this game? I read that your skills can't go above your level cap, but I still find this a little confusing. Does that mean that I don't need to increase a skill if the number in white is bigger than the cap? Does this affect all skills, or just some of them?
Did I completely fuck up Jacks questline by killing my way through the jail rescue mission?
I didn't know the way you completed the missions matters, this sucks.
What 'nades are good against bladelings? As a monk it is completely impossible to kill more than one bladeling in less than four turns due to Expose Weakness, and both helpers are utter garbage damage-wise when it comes to fighting the beast
Yes, you should have been able to tell from Everard's reaction. You've done the job and you are getting paid as you were promised, but they are not happy.
But what's a little genocide bad for..?
God damnit, I only realized like a billion saves ago that the questline won't complete, wish the wiki was more straightforward with that shit.
Choice and consequence, my dude. You failed your reading comprehension twice, in the game and on the wiki. If it's any consolation you have only locked yourself out of a single quest.
BUT
I WANTED TO KNOW WHO THEY WEEEREEE
To put it simply, synergy bonuses stop working once your skill is high enough (the cap's 10+level*5 if you want actual numbers). In practice you can usually get around it by just levelling more so the cap gets higher though. The only time you're likely to waste synergy points is on dodge/evasion and psi skills, and in those cases you want them as high as possible so it's best to just forget about synergy and pump them anyway.
Is it possible to finish the game w/ a "smartass"/charisma based character?
All social stats for roleplay + 1 psy focus (thought) + stealth I guess? Has anyone tried?
Anywhere easy to find/buy a shotgun forward grip?
Blaine/Constantine/Most weapon dealers.
It's a rare item so even with 95 Mercantile don't expect it to show up all that often.
It's possible. It won't always be a fun ride, and you won't always like your options, but it's possible.

Why does the game force you to suck some faggots dick to get the huxkey??
Is Styg part of the LGBTAIQX+ crowd?
It's pretty great for shotguns, 5 AP reduction per shot is extremely useful
Is there a quick way to charge a weapon, like pressing B for shield?

Why are generals always filled with faggots?
Conservative can be nice if you want a shield where you can walk around with it on all the time, then you can just swap it out for your main one whenever you anticipate combat.
I am trying to charge the weapon, my dear, motioner, not change (ie swap).

psi is for utility, plain damage is boring.
Temporal psi is a support skill, it's not the main damage dealer.
But it synergies with literally everything else, so it's cool.

I'd like to know what the point of the ending is. Faceless would have killed the Chort anyway. They get the cube no matter what you do. Nothing is revealed to you. What's the point! That area is horrible and the dev should feel horrible for making the player go through it.

Just finished the expansion.
So why was the serpentine god angry about you taking the acorn? What is it programmed to build? Maybe some immense temple? What if it's Roko's Basilisk trying to build himself an ultimate form?
What does ACoNR even stand for? Abstract Concentration of Neumann Robots?
If the ferryman is david and the unga bunga yngwar is goliath, why did serpentine god help him?
Those are three words, pipeworker.
I don't understand.
Read the computer logs in Caerus Residential, jack.
You need to exactly recreate the Exitus-1 mutagen compound with a combination of mutagen reagents. So scan that first to get the sequence, then you can work out a series of reagents that will sum and give you the sequence.
Dude will tell you the acronym.
It's not programmed to build anything in particular, I don't think, but from what Dude says about it, it's best to not let it fall into the wrong hands
You broke into his home and stole his precious, of course he's angry
The way you make it sound doesn't sound difficult. The wiki confused me.
>Implying anyone but Ezra is worthy of receiving it
Just got to lvl 16 and specilizations opened up, the build Im following isnt DLC updated so can I get some pointers on what to specilize with an AR tincan? I got the commando specilization for now but I dont wanna gimp myself on damage later.
Yeah, the wiki uses the same terminology of the game which can be a little confusing. It's not particularly difficult unless you get a really bad RNG for the sequence and reagents.
Good luck, user!
Is crafting a meme?
I feel like that other user who posted a few days ago. The shit I craft isn't as good as the shit I can buy. And when I do find good craft mats they require more craft skill, so then I get the craft skill a few levels later and, surprise, I already have better shit.
I feel like it's only worth leveling Biology.
There is nothing homo about staring into Azif's eyes once or twice... or thrice. Six-senpai said it was fine.
Mid to late game crafting shit is the cheapest and most consistent way of getting baller ass gear
Also to my knowledge the only way to get magnesium bombs
Where the f to farm poisons?
Crafting breaks the game.
The only things shops are good for are basic components and weapon modules since you can't craft those yourself, unless you have Disassemble and get lucky with drops.
>inb4 b...but I have grand score of 40 and I can't craft anything good
Don't bother crafting unless you have 8+ INT, 10 INT is optimal, get crafting feats, Gun Nut, Power Management, Practical Physicist, Armor Sloping and Clothier are all insanely good, you'l never, ever go back to using the shops' gear.
>Don't bother crafting unless you have 8+ INT
This is just completely untrue.
If your biology is high enough, you can extract poison from cave ears, and some organs wild animals drop, just explore the caves and the map tells you what animals and plants spawn there, you'll need the Extract humour and/or process plant or fungus blueprint
I'm not saying you can't craft with less, but any serious crafting focused build has at least 8 int, you'll want crafting to come online ASAP, otherwise you'll only start crafting good gear when the game is already mostly done, which is pointless.
I feel like it IS true though. On a 5 INT build my crafting is so horrendously slow to level that I feel I could do better putting the points somewhere else.
Especially if I struggle at all in the early-mid game, doesn't make sense to invest in the late game for late game payoffs.
If i'm a monk/melee dude there's never a reason for me to ever wear a ranged weapon / pistol right? I should just sell these RIGHT?
There's no companions I can hand this over to right? Please respond this is important.
Literally doesnt matter outside hard. New players should go crafting because its FUN
I asked besides that
is it even viable outside explosive rounds
Im playing pure psi and ive been selling every weapon ive come across, i dont think you can give them to anybody
If you haven't maxed out your Gun skill and you don't have 10 Perception then your guns wouldn't even be useful in combat.
yeah i guess.. somehow i feel bad for selling modded items like scoped crossbows even though i know i wont be using them (cause i can't)
anyway are there no companions in this game? i feel so lonely and its dark and scary..
All ACoNRs are preprogrammed with their blueprints. This one could be something benign though, it wasn't built for Abyssal station.
You'll very rarely fight with some allies but most of the time it'll be by yourself, welcome to underrail.
Is there any good chokepoint in grey's army magazine? i get surrounded and two shooted by snipers in 3 turns tops
Just think of those cool items as giant stacks of money that you can use to buy stuff you want.
please tell me the mine beasts are just burrowers
and the barman just heard a false description
I hid in the toilet with gas grenades a the door
Seemed appropriate
Sure, any crafting focused build is going to have a high Intelligence, but that isn't the same as saying "don't bother crafting unless you do."
The utility of crafting varies depending on your build, but it's useful to everyone to some degree or another. If you're a psi character or a melee one, you're probably not going to notice much, but a firearm-focused one? Even if what you craft isn't giving you much bigger damage numbers, the ability to customise what you're using makes a huge difference especially to anyone using an AR, SMG or sniper rifle. Similarly, the ability to get unique properties from infused leather and customise boots/tac vests/emitters is never not useful.
afaik there are no toilets in magazine
Sorry, bre. No luck.
>using traps and stealth so it doesnt matter how suboptimal the build is
>farming for walls of mines and poison caltrops
Buff guns, add headgear that resists psi, problem solved
Hey hey people
are they at least just regular crawlers
Eh, bre?
I can't decide whether to max INT, PER, or DEX on a energy pistol/chem pistol build.
If I go INT I have better energy damage.
If I go PER I might hit more shots = possibly more damage.
If I go DEX I get more shots = possibly more damage.
And if I add CON to the mix, well, I can afford to miss a shot or two.
Is psi tank a viable build? I wanted to start with tin can but the builds are outdated.
At what point should i stop leveling throwing
6 dex
11 per
17 int
thank me later
>got all the mutagens
>except for Exitus
>have to go back
It's past the gate.
I went with a shitload of DEX and dabbed on everyone.
Put both INT and PER at 11 minimum, this is the must, especially for energy pistols.
The rest is up to you really.
Yes.
Shouldn't the Dex be higher? Two plasma pistol shots/turn with adrenaline.
>Two plasma pistol shots/turn with adrenaline.
plasma is only worth using for bosses, the AP ratio is too high, and you gimp yourself a lot to get 18 dex to fire it 2 times per turn
laser/electroshock are the ones you use for anything else
I'm on a fist and psi playthrough
I stopped at about 30
It's fun now but unfortunately there's no way you're going to be beating the final boss.
Plasma guns absolutely do not need to shoot more than once per turn, they cannot compete with either Laser or Electric guns in the mook clearing business and by design they never will, they're just there to humiliate Tchort/Magnar/Carnifex and little else.
>depot A
>almost every single lockpicking challenge requires 50 lockpick with the expectation you specced into it as a primary stat
Nigga if you don't put points into hacking and lockpicking every level until about 15 or so, you're doing yourself a disservice
Come on this is silly, first it's lockpicks magically breaking when you crack a door and lockpicking scaling, not as bad as not being told what lockpicking skill you need to crack open vents though
Alright, thanks for the help, bres.
Yeah, nah.
~5 base int means you can do very high lvl crafting with +2int drug without overinvesting, and 7 base int gives you feat perks - I don't think there's any build outside of BigBrain pistols that should go above 7 int
that's not even remotely true
+5 from mk II lockpicks
+7 from jackknife
eel sandwich for +1 dex
or junkyard surprise for +2
it has synergy with two skills, and dex builds can get it cheap
What's the point of choosing psi empathy in skills if I could just take the pill from doc at the start of the game?
dex for more shots provided you've got at least 10 per
if you were pure energy weapons i'd say alternate per and int, if you were pure chem pistols i'd say just dex
you don't really get much in terms of damage from boosting int even with high-techicalities, but having absurd crafting skills with hardly any investment is cool.
>game about combat
>myriad ways to do every encounter
>dump all your points to make shiny clothes instead
>but at least traps will carry me
tell me how to do a no-craft no-trap dominating build.
>5 base int means you can do very high lvl crafting with +2int drug without overinvesting
By the time you get to craft Hypercerebrix and have high enough crafting skills you're already done with most of the game and are already vastly overpowered by virtue of having massive stat investment and feats on top of your late blooming crafting stats.
>I don't think there's any build outside of BigBrain pistols that should go above 7 int
As much as INT is a pretty secondary spec to invest into all in all, high INT means high mercantile, INT also nets you better PSI regen, and any crafting focused build benefits for it, it's not just a Laser Wizard thing.
The benefit of galaxy brains is being able to access vastly better equipment and utilities much faster than anyone else, so while 7 is definitely a good plateau for the average build nothing forbids you from pumping it up a bit further, unless you're playing DOMINATING, but DOMINATING is a meme setting where most stuff doesn't work and you're forced to work on funnel builds either way.
You can't choose Psi Empathy as a feat. The pill is the only way.
When are they gonna add proper throwing weapons (Spears, throwing axes, bolas and the like)
>grey army isnt so ba-
*specs ops barge in*
One of the few enemies that are almost completely immune to gas, really threw me for a loop
That fucking helmet though is worth it
Great timing: how the hell do I spawn those guys? I thought they appear in the central location when somebody pulls the alarm - I took gun oil and I killed everything but they didn't show.
I need their helmets, so, uh, anyone got an idea?
Yeah I've never played psi but dont really understand why anyone cares about balance in a singleplayer game. However if Styg does as he has previously done, temporal is gonna get cucked
Stealthy crossbow trapper is hardmode so up to you the other two are fun as well but god crossbows suck
I fear the dogs more than the squad members themselves.
Then again you can just put a carpet of traps near their doors and dab on them.
psychosis or tranquility for high const heavy armor build?
All those Crawler Poison Caltrops finally paid off
Because Styg hates us. Worst part is because its always you vs many people, bilocation isn't even that OP for the player
Become a psycho blood mage.
high con - deffo tranquility, psychosis is only good if you stay below 30% hp
Gas grenade kill zone and a wall of bear traps is the way
What's the most common damage type?
Also does Bio resist work with Acid damage from mutants?
Mechanical and no, Acid is a separate resistance type.
They're mental phantasms. Why would you expect them to go away once the psinigger dies? If one sets you on fire, does the fire go away because you kill them?
besides mechanical then?
What do I do after I kill the Faceless Commander after killing Tchort? Give the Cube to based Tanner?
Yes.
probably fire, especially if you chuck molotovs around.
Heat and then electric i guess?

Is thereva way to make an agility shotgun build?
I just picked up this game after all these generals and I'm just starting out. Is a Psi/melee-throwing build a good one?
Is it possible to go Psi and energy/blob? I mean you have to max both wis, perc and int?
>all these generals
Sublime bait.
How does my theory build sound?
10 WILL
10 CON
8 INT
Typical psi but uses all the healing feats + Biology crafting for meds to tank and supplement combat. Basically super self-buffing via medicine only. Combo with Doctor's Pouch (e.g. pop 5 meds for 10 AP).
Levels all psi skills.
Levels only Biology crafting.
Levels Merc + Persuasion + Intimidation
Or
Levels Merc/Persuasion/Intimidation + Hacking + Lockpicking.
Yeah, go pump shotguns and pump AGI once you've got your other stats up to snuff
It's that easy!
So heavy armor is enough to keep my health full? thanks
unless you were just splashing time magic for contraction i'm not sure why you'd need to. chem pistols alone covers almost every type of damage that might be resisted, with area of effect and rooting/freezing/burning effects. what school of psi were you planning on doing?
anything useful if you clear out fort apogee
After Mechanical, Heat is pretty common through grenades and mines
Lots of loot and a special oddity, not to mention the satisfaction of shredding cans.
10 con is tranquility build, which is like third best in the game - you'll steamroll even on hard
BUT tranquility synergizes extremely well with %psi cost reduction - without crafting you're giving up tons of power, because the headbands you'll find are shit and you'll never get psi beetle vest
Frankly, biology is of least use for psi - no supersoldier or 'nades needed. I'd dump bio and intimidate (it's shit) and go mech, elec and bit of tailoring - it also gets you OP shields 'for free', and since you're doing merch you'll have top of the line components
>clear out fort apogee
uh oh can I take him
nah, but it'll get you very tanky anyway - just not tanky enough to survive with 30% hp, which is what's needed for psychosis (it would be beyond broken if you could tincan-psychosis lol)
You just slaughtered your way through DC, of course you can take him!
Should I give these faceless bozos the cube? They've kinda been dicks to me the whole time I was in deep caverns and I don't think I like them.

I'm guessing it doesn't, because in his run the CAU's bodies don't even have time to rot before they blow up with the rest of Epione.
go north from dudes house and get up the rocks
it's roughly southwest, either through loads of crawlers or azurid goliaths
So, uh, don't run away from either once you initiated combat or you're stuck like I am lol
Go west for a couple of screens until you reach a river going south. Follow that river south and you'll get to rail crossing.

What's a cookie cutter trap+gun build? How's melee in this game? If it's not severely gimped a melee build sounds fun. Can base stats be increased on level ups?
>go north
>death stalkers pop up
There are no Death Stalkers on that map.
isn't there just spooder research station? I don't think there's a way out through there, and west from hecate is crawlers
although DESU spooders are easier than crawlers if you have no means to deal with stun, and power fisto might tip the scales
the cookie cutter gun + trap build is, put points into guns. put points into traps. pick a type or two of guns and pick feats for them.
melee works really well, you've got a bunch of options: punch master, knife stabber, machete hacker, sledgehammer pounder, or spear shanker
yes, one stat point every 4 levels

don't go in the station you motioner, go south a few screens until you get to foundry.
Ah, nevermind - I somehow missed that you can go south from where the research station is and only go through some rathounds
appreciate it, it would've taken a lot of time to get through crawlers and goliaths nuked me in 1 turn with morphine
>>expanding peace, stability and order across the whole South Underrail
Why, yes, of course I use a portrait of my favorite sci-fi character. How could you tell?
well I'm done with the game

Thanks but what's a good number for base stats anyway? It goes from 1 to 10 but i'm not sure how good the numbers are. I mean say i want to do both traps and guns which are dex and perception. Is it enough to have them at 7, for example or is 7 too shitty?
Why yes i edit vanilla potratits to fit my taste.
I hope your edit is on the left.
Hey guys I thought you would appreciate this custom portrait for protectorate can builds.
>I coulda taken him
Nah.
you want to minmax as much as possible, mediocre stats really don't help much at all. if you don't want to use cave magic you can drop will to 3, if you don't want to craft anything you can drop int to 3, etc. etc. i'd advise against dropping your strength though, bigger guns like some shotguns and sniper rifles need at least 5 str.
I am disappointed that I can't loot the faceless commander's laser rifle. That burst fire seemed so cool.
>not hitting qucksave after every action
>objectively handsome nigga in sharp as shit clothing

i'm pretty disappointed there aren't any laser rifles at all, i don't see why you can't if pistols are almost commonplace. should've at least been an experimental lemurian one instead of the shitty blasters we got.
Well, you do get a Laser Spear.

Which grenades are a must for late game?
yeah but it also kinda sucks compared to stuff you can craft yourself. if only you could disassemble and re-craft unique weapons so that at least you could use the laser pistols, they're useless without the feat improvements from building it yourself.

So do Locusts despawn eventually or are zones meant to be closed off forever for triggering one hive accidentaly?
Shotguns really only need 2 feats minimum, one less if you go for pump action shotgun only build. Sixth shell and leading shot. Once you get spec points you want to pump leading shot. Then you can pick up the rest of the shotgun feats if you want but they arent really too great. Frag chaos and pellet mayhem only shows its worth in conjunction with each other so if you get one, you should get the other. Suppressive fire aint bad either if you opt for the combat shotguns. If you want to do the meme combo, you can pick up full auto for 4 shell combat shotgun burst, then get the tyranny shotgun that increases bursts by one more. Now you have a shotgun that bursts for 5, allowing you to sixth shell all over something. I prefer to switch to a more powerful pump action shotgun for the big sixth shell shot but some anons prefer having a sniper in the other slot. If you go for the bare minimum shotgun feats in sixth shell and leading shot, you should invest more into the secondary effects to boost your shotgun effectiveness. Some shit like gun nut, hit and run, sprint; shit to help the longer range issue that shotguns have like grenades, offhand sniper, psi; psi to help you do more shit cause shotguns are really fucking basic like force field, pseudo spacial projection, psycho temporal contraction. These are only some shit off the top of my head so there are other good shit to look for. Important factors are also if you want to go dodgey evasive build or tin can build.

Can someone explain to me how Taste of Blood works? I don't quite get it from the feat's description. Do I earn a stack every time I hit a bleeding enemy, regardless of how many bleeding wounds it has?
what in the fuck happened to make you act like this?

locustes drop 160 quality frames
You get a stack for each bleeding wound the target has. So if you hit a target with three wounds you'd get three stacks.

Got it, so if I hit a target with 3 bleeding wounds, I earn 3 stacks. If I hit it again, do I earn another 3 stacks for a total of 6 stacks, or it stays at 3?

Its a shame that uniques pale so hard to crafted weapons. If only there was a subsystem that allows you to improve uniques, like a special merchant or something
Some uniques can last a while, I know the SVD rifle you find under Buzzer's shop lasted me a good while before I finally found really good Spearhead parts and I'm still using the Rancor shotgun from DC though that's a late game shotgun anyway and I just haven't found the parts for a Tyranny to replace it.
Maybe they should have special effects or give unique advantages so it's harder to pick.
nigga how else am I supposed to detect shit

Not my fault you chose to dump PER, if you kept it at 5 or even just 4 you'd have an easier time spotting traps.
This isn't a Larian game, your stats actually matter beyond making big numbers pop up during combat, by choosing to dump PER you chose to have a hellish time with traps and stealthfags, granted that you do have a few ways to make those problems less dangerous, but that's how things work in this game, minmaxing has both min and max and you chose a min you have problems dealing with.
Its to prevent you from having the situation where you find out you are too weak for this content, leave to fuck around in main game for a bit, then come back to the entire expedition dead

>will above 1 on a non-psionic
>int above 7 on a non-chem/energy scientist
>gun build with 5 per
>no dodge/evasion but 5 agi (not even 6 for sprint)
I'm gonna assume you're using pistols/smgs for that 8 dex too
melee, evasion, 40 dodge, enough stealth for current areas, lockpicking, 30 traps for that in-combat perk, 45 psychokinesis, 35 metathermics, temporal later on if you want to
merch isn't really needed for this build, might pick it up later (or sooner if no merch)
max dex, 7 agi, either 5 or 7 int, rest con
important perks - combo, fancy footwork, expose weakness, cheap shots, lightning punches, opportunist, that bleed thing
might want premediation (free cryostasis/electro stun) - it is surprisingly potent to be able to cast at will. Grenade perk @30 throwing is very useful for certain encounters
be on the lookout for tabi boots and blueprint - it can be a nightmare to find, I found it at lv13 which is completely ridiculous and that -1 ap is huge
having pneumatic leather gloves is a game-changer, you'll be hitting 10x per round soon enough without adrenaline
force emission is to be used situationally and never to the point of being unable to cast CC, but it's a nice dmg boost when you need it
remember that every 4th pneumatic hit stuns - with footwork perk you can stun 3-4 enemies in the first turn. CC is key to staying alive, expose armor is key to killing armored enemies.
Grenades aren't needed often but when they're needed they're NEEDED - you're not killing beast on easy without them because you'll be doing 3 dmg per hit and expose armor has unpleasantly long cooldown
You're murking every humanoid ever in a single round, you're munching lunatics if you learn to CC properly, robots are a pain but die okayish, bladelings are fucking immortal

>tabi blueprint hard to find

Personally I just run the first arena fight a couple of times until I get a really high quality leather, but I'm guess you want more than Leather and boots...
What else do you do with leather though?
technically, how tanky can a metal armor get, for example if i took 4 top quality tungsten plates...
Ironically I just confirmed that you can 'reroll' the first fight 3 minutes ago
What's the highest leather you can get? I saw 79 so far, but wiki says it's up to 100 and I found that some dude got 105 (on dominating, but quality should be the same?). 79 seems rather low, and the usual seems to be ~65...
Wiki says base quality without other modifiers is 120
enyor your jawbone
that seems... implausible, 79 was the highest roll I saw in ~10 attempts
can anyone confirm they got at least ~90 from arena? This is the most imporant item in the game, there's no more rathounds before DC on hard
would a chinese electric batman build be viable
I got a Q101 from the one with the Rathound Kind. It was on normal though.
i cant use it i dont have strenght
I got a 105 (about that I think) from arena. That posted picture is straight from the wiki as well, never seen anything wrong there before. Don't have access to my save file at the moment to show the proofs, but if there is another Underrail later today I'll post the leather under the character "Red." who is knives/throwing.
rathhound king has two pet ancients if you need leather
I got 111 from the rathound king on my last playthrough
People can take 3 per for non-ranged builds for optimization's sake because you can play around not having reliable detection by savescumming, having prior knowledge of where things are, or just having enough DR/DT to facetank mines and stealthers. That doesn't mean that you're REQUIRED to dump per for anything that isn't firing a gun or crossbow.
You chose to go the savescum route to free up stat points so now you have to savescum.
you going for high crit damage?
thanks, thanks
king is sadly dead and donated q70 and q76, which... isn't optimal
Just make them into your boots since I don't think those benefit as much from the quality. Also remember that the quality of the super steel thread combines into your leather quality, so better super steel will raise the infused leather quality.
Reroll the Arena for your Leather Armor drop.
true that, I've got a good enough pair for now but once I get infusion I want the best quality I can get - hence the questions
hopefully. bowyer worth it i guess?
I wanna FUCK Sophie
Forget it, zoner.
How does this look? I'm contemplating ideas for a 2nd playthrough on hard. I found that my first playthrough on normal meant that how well I did was heavily dependant on getting lots of critical hits with my laser pistol, and clearing out crowds with grenades and electroshock pistol aimed shots.
Can I get gas grenades without 20 bio and 20 chem? I have zero use for either at my current level aside from them but I am stuck on the beast and kind of need super steel

I'm not sure what use bear traps would have here except rooting them? The stairway is 3-wide and I can stunlock 2, maybe all 3 and fight down there for a long time but expose armor has too long of a cooldown so I kill one bladeling a round at best (realistically 2 per 3 rounds) - and since there's almost 40 of them, well.
Where the fuck do i find graphite?
Doing my first playthrough with chem pistols.
It's crazy powerful. Depot A was not even a challenge.
High chance on hit to make them run around in fear and burn to death for 2 turns. If they somehow survive just snare them in acid and LOS kite them.
11 Dex is giving me 3 shots per turn with 1 being at 50% accuracy, hope to get it to 4 or 3 full shots when I get the belt that lowers AP cost even more. Will probably need to take more dex as I level.
You really want sure foot so you can kite through all the acid you generate. Caltraps are also really great. On the off chance you don't proc shots you can still just kite to keep yourself safe and do good damage.
Don't need psi because you have a fuckton of CC and AoE with cooked shot. Still suggest taking it just for forcefield and time magic.
Psi helps in the early early game when you only have mechanical pistols. I used psi more then the pistol because of how shit they are.
Hardest part is just making it to the junkyard to craft your first pistol.
Once you get the fire version it's easy mode.

>85% chance at depot A
What the fuck, I never went over 75% by endgame.
If your going psi you won't be shooting things.
I'd dump the str and per into more con or agl depending on how you wana play, or dex for throwing and related skills/feats.
Can somebody link me a decent hammer wizard build? I don't want to gimp my character and end up using cheat engine lel.
My first pistol was 45% at depot A. That's just a google image search for end game chem pistols.

Bear traps and caltrops will root them and stop you from getting swarmed. You can set up as many as you want. In the mean time, your helpers can happily plink away at them, just throw some flares down. Try some grenades as well because why not and you can throw them far enough away even with no throwing skill to not hurt yourself (hopefully).
Just kite them as long as possible before actually engaging in melee. Bear traps can easily buy you 4 -5 turns or more if you set up enough which adds up.
Might not be everything you need, but it will help and its a cheap investment ultimately.
Then you don't want to play on hard. :)
You don't have the skill points to waste on both guns and psi skills.
Psi builds need more skill points then anything else.
How did you achieve this feat?

how do you change avatar? I would also want to get fucked as a anime girl in this game
proton also works for me
you may have to install some .NET crap in wine for the game to work. don't ask me what
Not that I don't appreciate the help, but having more time means little when both helpers do next to nothing and I can't even attack because I'm not in range
Trying an alternate strat - I have 43 HE3 nades from Ironheads, took +2slot belt and will just nuke everything once the herd has gathered - might be enough, what with 40% DR bypass
You need to install winetricks and then protontricks. Run protontricks dotnet452 and xna40 and/or winetricks dotnet 40. Remember to install mono too

Can I do laserpistols alongside Blobs or do feats wary?

Energy guns don't need DEX at all.
They're pistols so don't they get an action point discount with high dex?
In the main village where Magnar is, but a few maps away in his shrine. The music makes it unmistakable.
yes
I really wish strong grip included shotguns
>full riot police with sawed off shotty
The AP discount they get is negligible since outside of Plasma guns they're not AP heavy.
You'll want to pump PER and INT on them, not DEX, INT massively boosts their power thanks to High Technicalities and is needed for crafting them in the first place, PER further boosts their base stats and ties with Critical Power, which is the selling point of energy guns, 900% crit damage bonuses so that every single shot kills.
No, though
Egun science nerd, shotgun build or psi wiz for a second playthrough on dominating?
What was your first?
At exactly 10 DEX laser pistols cost 12 AP to shoot, allowing you to shoot 4 times per turn instead of 3 assumming 50 AP. Would it be worth leaving DEX at 10 and focus on PER and INT the rest of the game? At level 1 you could have 10 PER and 8 INT, only being short off 2 points on INT.
Versatility crossbow/chem pistol on hard.
Though on second thought, spending 7 stat points in DEX just to shoot 4 times per turn for less damage doesn't sound like a very good idea.
Depends on how autism you want to get.
Laser pistol builds are all about big crits, see You could still use them with a chempistol build but laze pistols have a feat that turns your int stat into bonus crit for every point above 5, so a min-maxed laze build has 10 int, while you only ever need 7 for chem, and probably want those points in dex or per.
Chem wants dex because of the high AP cost. 2 extra shots is a big deal because all your damage comes from on hit procs, not the base weapon damage.
Laser can skip dex entirely because they have lower ap cost by default and only care about high crits.
Laser also lacks AoE and good CC chem has as a side note.
Melee can't touch chem, laser needs to use something like traps/throwing/psi.
Autism aside you could still do both as long as you are not playing dominating.
I actually had 14 dex by the end, since I was using plasma pistol a lot and being able to get three shots off with it was really nice sometimes.
I guess I need to ask which is more FUN? Does chem get boring after a while? Crafting acids could be fun though while laser has its own thing.
Its not FUN being too powerful after all
Subtle 3 INT post, I like it.
Sturdy or Regenerative vest for tin can?
Apex.
>Would it be worth leaving DEX at 10 and focus on PER and INT the rest of the game?
That's up to you, you can easily get DEX to 10 and both PER and INT at 10 at the cost of everything else.
I don't think it's worth it because of two reasons:
You don't need to shoot your Laser gun that much, consider that ideally, every single shot will deal critical damage and kill anything that isn't either a endgame enemy or a really tough Expedition mook, such as a Naga or a really tough Sormibaeren/ghost, and for those there's still Aimed Shot boosted with a Smart Module/Goggles if you want, if you build it correctly, which means 11 INT+PER, hardly anything will ever survive your laser gun, let alone your electroshock and plasma gun
The second reason is that you have Electroshock guns, which are your main AoE tool as a energy gun user coupled with Aimed Shot, that means that ideally, each Aimed shot from your Electroshock gun kills four target for just 30 AP, which means you also get a free shot with your laser gun afterwards, without considering Adrenalie/Vitality powder and TM, which grant you even more fuel for killing things.
What you want to consider though is that as a main energy gun user there's some enemies in the game that no sell the main feature of your energy gun, which is critical damage, there's not many of them, but things like Bladelings, ghosts or Magnar's Ghost do exist, and energy weaponry is very weak against them by virtue of not being able to crit.
And the madman does it! 16 HE3 grenades, over 20 bear traps, 5 psi hypos, 9 plasma batteries to charge power fist (probably impossible to do without it) and 36 dead bladelings later I can finally get some good shit from the Foundry.
sturdy imo, regen can't deal with the few things that'll burst you as well it can
What's the earliest I can do the expedition content on hard?
I'm about 50% through the base game with my chem pistols and i'm having a lot of fun.
Specifically skipped laser because 1 hit killing with crits or missing and getting completely fucked didn't sound fun to me but maybe someone else can vouch for them.
Your chem pistols start out with a low % chance for hit effects and get better with your chem skill so you won't actually see 80% chance on hit til end game.
Your first will only be around 30% chance and you have to rely on throwing/traps til the late game.
I'm playing a low con build and I have to rely on LoS kiting and setting up the battlefield with traps.
If my pistols proc, it's easy kills but if it fails you need the traps to fall back on and lots of kiting.
Lots of dynamic play, real fun.
Also fun to see areas of the map get covered in acid after a fight.
Only down side is the few times you have allys, they will walk into your acid and then turn hostile.
Level 15-16 if you know what you're doing.
It takes too many turns for regenerative to overwhelm the flat health from Sturdy imo. Also charging your armor is just annoying.
I'm happy for you user
Man, though call.
>fighting faceless is a bad thing
let me guess if you get through the game without killing a single one you get the ultra good boy ending, considering my only faceless encounters had non lethal options so far
Wrong.
cool actually because that's fucking gay
how you deal with the faceless doesn't affect the ending but it affects how they will treat you in the deep caverns
user who is interested in playing underrail here.
I read that the gameplay is good but the story is shit.
and is there a demo or something i can try first?
does it matter whether I break Todor out or just silence him

You heard wrong. The story and writing is solid to good. The world is well done.
It's not the reason you play Underrail, but thankfully unlike other modern RPGs, it is not a detriment to the game.
If you want to try it, I would say grab a GoG download/pirate it.
the story isn’t super engaging and personal you’re mostly a scavenger/hired goon it’s more about discovering lore about the world and politics
>get property from an oligarch, one of the three most important people in the city
>it's literally a pile of concrete
>no electricity
>the inside is five times as big as it ought to be
What the fuck Styg, I'm here to craft superior dildos not to play fucking Sims
Okay, and what about the claim that there are too many fetch quests?
sub 15 what? level 15?
don't fall for the housing jew, they just want your charons
>240 hp enemy
>they eat crits like crazy and reduce significant amounts of damage
>"wow they must have good gear"
>loot them to find rathound vests
?????????
>I read
From where, Rock Paper Shotgun? lmao
dont be a cheap bastard and buy a nice rug
also don't forget the security system
There are maybe 4 actual fetchquests as a whole. Most quests are more complex than go to x and bring back y and are much more involved than that.
It's just what I was thinking when I dealt with the Faceless. Six gave SOME answers, but I was cool with the Faceless until they flat out demanded I gave them the Cube. And then I think to myself. After all that shit I went through on my own in the Deep Caverns? You're not even going to explain why? At all? And just after I killed Tchort? That's my motherfucking Cube. Fast forward 5 minutes later Six is all like "ZAP, MUTHAFUCKA!" and then I'm left Cubeless with it apparently going back to the Faceless. Meaning that I ended up killing those Faceless for no reason. Fucking bullshit game.
>Spend a gorillion Charon to make it baller
>Can't invite anyone
>Can't show my rugs to Dude
>Some fucking weeb breaks through your basement despite having multiple home defense systems
Sounds like a weird claim. Most of the game involves you or someone who has something you want, wanting something and then you go murder the folks in the way and have fun doing it.
Underrail is honestly my #1 RPG right now, maybe all time, so just pirate it and try it. Really good game, maybe it won't line up with your tastes, but that's about it.
My man, there are 4 fetch quests just dealing with the Beast alone.
how do I make energy pistols and psi work together?
is aimed shot mandatory for energy pistols?
are rocks only breakable by tnt?
Y E S
>how do I make energy pistols and psi work together?
Cryostasis+Premeditation is your best friend, the rest is up to TM.
>is aimed shot mandatory for energy pistols?
Yes.
And Jackhammers
a drill is fine too
I count that as one, the mutagen as one, Milton as one and the fished up amulet one. Nothing else really comes to mind.
Do yourself a favor and as soon as you can go to the Foundry by train (after the whole Depot A thing) and buy a Jackhammer from the nice metal lady in the same area. Load it up with energy cells and start drilling.
>Jackhammer
>Buy
>When there's dozens of those things lying around
Something straightforward then. Go with shotgun or laser.
Stupid question but for the telekinetic proxy, "single target telekinetic" powers mean only from the psychokinesis skill tree right? So telekinetic punch and electrokinesis?
Also, if I use psi mania to launch a guaranteed crit is the proxy shot also a guaranteed crit?
You can't go into the mine if you don't do a quest for the mayor. I think.
Dex and int are more important, the gun boost from per won't matter when guns is maxed
Nah, you can walk through a different entrance.
You mean the one by Gloria?
can I zap the cameras without alerting the guards
Yeah
Don't know about electrokineses but I can confirm mania + proxy + telekinetic punch will mean both attacks crit.
what starting stats for melee/psi hybrid?
You'll end the questline.
You need to legally acquit him
>mania + proxy + telekinetic punch will mean both attacks crit.
That's fucking insane, like, easy 500 damage.
They literally cost like 5 charons, you cheap zoner.
Depends which psi school.
temporal manipulation is broken as fuck and just requires you to put points in to it and maybe that one perk that makes contraction 3 turns.
I remember walking right in without talking to anyone
HAMMER
WIZARD
need or just less of a hassle
>fished up amulet
How is that a fetch quest? No one sends you to find the amulet they dropped in a cave, it isn't structured like a fetch. Unless you think of it as the amulet giving you the quest to find its owner, but that's just, weird, twisted.
Leo's knife and the Great DC Gate Fixing Marathon are legit fetch quests though.
