Is possible to beat Carnifex if you lose the initiative on the beginning of the battle?

I defeated him in the hardest difficulty recently, video in spoilers. My build is a pure RP build. I could have optimized my psy power selection much more and feats much more. The unique non RP thing that I'm doing is investing heavily into merchant as I wanna devastator.

Carnifex VS I

Besides using food and paranoia feat, there is anything more to buff my initiative?

I"m playing in the hardest difficulty for the first time and just need more initiative, against Carnifex.

JKK jacket/infused heartbreaker serpent leather armour both give initiative. JKK is +5, heartbreaker I think depends on quality but it'll be around +4 or +5.
Sea serpent belt gives +3. But you can only get it sometimes, other times Styg says fuck you and the quest to get it isn't available.

Alternatively, forget about initiative and stack mechanical resistance instead. Gloves already have an armour piercing penalty, so riot gear+double tungsten boots+helmet make it easy to hit 95% effective DR against him. He's not so scary when you have 95% DR.

There's a chem called twitch, I think. Gives something like +8 to initiative. I used it a lot during my nimble tank shotgunner character.
Oh, you need Expedition for it though. Not sure if you have that DLC.

Doesn't work for Carnifex, it wears off during the incredibly long intro cutscene. I really hate that cutscene.

all that flashy cave wizardry. Id say it doesnt count unless you drop carnifex in a single turn

Yeah it is pretty bad. You can't even skip the damn thing.

But it's still the buff killer. Speedhack can't save my buffs.

As far as I can tell that's by design, it used to be that even your shield would mostly or completely drain by the time the fight started, that was changed so your shield only turns on at the start of the fight during the initiative rolls.

Got devastator in the hardest difficulty; now I have money for nothing.

So picked this back up last night after a long hiatus. Wanted to get through some backlog games, life etc

I have a character from a few years back, very early in game (clearing caves) this fuckin game just oozes atmosphere, not sure if the game is a min maxers wet dream, or if my character is good, I do know I had to leave the caves because I ran out of 5mm and saved/picked back up my character a year later standing like a pauper in front of a vendor staring at ammo I have nothing to offer for.

10/10

Guys, I keep getting a Zone Transition Failed error when I try to go to another area... Any idea how to fix this?

You could try to update the game or add it to exception to Avast if you use it (though maybe it works on other av).

If you're don't mind cheating, there's a way to get infinite cash cheesing Ray's shop:

>buy Freighter
>park it somewhere the camera won't see you but will still pop up on selling jet dialogue
>equip it with the absolute best parts you can get
>sell it
>go back to the jet, stealth and take out the parts
>buy it (the price changes accordingly with the parts equipped)
>repeat step 3 and 4
>repeat step 4 and 5
>do it untill you're rich
You get around 2 or 3k each time you do this.
