Underrail: The Incline Awakens

[Major_Blackhart]

Hence the slug ammo

 

[Tygrende]

Spoiler

There's no slug ammo though. Only shells with 20/12/6/3 pellets. Let's just say Aimed Shot might not be the best pick for a shotgun build.

 

[Elephantman]

How are pellets even balanced? Seems to be impossibru!

By different damage values? So that you have to carry one shotgun vs armored enemies with low pellet count and one vs unarmored with lots of pellets?

Does the Expertise bonus of +1 mech dmg/level apply to each pellet in the 20 pellet shell? Or not apply at all since shells are not bullets?

They're ammo types, so no, you don't have to carry different shotguns. Not for this reason at least.

The latter.

 

[Maggot]

Wait, what? There's no slugs?

 

[fantadomat]

Hey Styg ,will there be a way to start the expansion without replaying most of the game? Like just starting out in the new part of the game with exp for15-20 levels and some decent equipment.

A true Witcher wields two shotguns.

One for Men, the other for monsters.

 

[hell bovine]

Google has failed me: will the additional content & levels from the expansion make my toon overpowered for deep caverns, or does the endgame get an upgrade too? Or is the expansion meant for after deep caverns?
epeli - since you are the resident expert

 

[Biscotti]

It has been stated numerous times that Expedition is meant to be a mid-game expansion, and that the DC did not receive any kind of overhaul. (Yet?)

 

[Parabalus]

What are the skill scalings on the Temporal Manipulation abilities? Still nothing on the wiki.

No. Don't you think I would have mentioned that by now if it was?

Ahhh,you could have and i could have miss it,nothing wrong with asking. So which is the area that you start with the expedition,the core station?

Yep. But access to Core City is not enough, you'll need to make a name for yourself before they'll take you on.

Now the big question. How is it going on with the romance part of the game,can you seduce a death stalker at this point?

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I'm so pumped for this. Jesus. Now I don't know if I wanna play a riot armor sword wielding maniac or a tin can with a shotty, an AR, and a bad attitude.

 

[fantadomat]

Is a melee build possible without any consumptives? How do you get the death stalkers with a melee? Their stunt is annoying.

Motion tracking googles and bear traps are what helped me deal with death stalkers as a melee. There is usually an audio queue when entering an area that tips you off to stealthed enemies being present you can set up a trap perimeter around you to then deal with them. It also helped that I had a pretty decent dodge score when I was dealing with them.

 

[fantadomat]

Motion tracking googles

Does this shows where they are? I remember using granades and assault burst to one shot them,then running away. They seem pretty hard enemy for a melee build tho.

They removed that lol.

 

[Goromorg]

So, no changes to Deep Caverns with installed expansion? I was hoping for some extra challenge there, that would push 30 lvl characters to their limits.

I'll probably start as a psycho psion, something like THAT.

Big thanks for your struggle, Styg and Co! You are the true bringers of incline!

 

[Jinn]

Death stalkers are easily one of the most annoying enemies I've encountered in an RPG ever. I like that they mix things up, but I don't like that they can appear suddenly, hit you several times, leave you a poisoned, stunned mess that can't even use medicine to recuperate, then disappear again for another turn before doing the same thing. Downright infuriating at times and one of my few major complaints with the game.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Yeah but they're realistic as to how those enemies should act. A stealth poisoner should strike and retreat.

 

[Goromorg]

Death stalkers are a very rare example of the ambushing enemy done right in a video game.

Jinn, what's your character build?

 

[jungl]

I seen lot of people complain about death stalkers but at most you encounter 3 at a time. Put on any cheap metal armor and they trivial. Dudes with crossbows with unique bolts I found particularly annoying but there few in the game.
