Dev Log #56: Experimental Branch with Version 1.0.3.13

[Fenix]

10 from start.

Also, those notes on the map...

 

[Fenix]

Another hard fight, I won without substantial difficulties, from second try (first try with wrong goggles).

Spoiler

First I came from west, was behind the rocks long enough they got alerted (orange eye) so they gathered in that room.
Second I came from another side, waited when that nasty Nuker went in the room, then Aimed Shot from Electroshock Pistol, Cooked Shot, Adrenalin, because while Nucer mean 100% death, most of the rest mean the same, except Chiller and Piromaniac.

What resolution is everyone playing at btw?

I got a 16:10 screen @1900x1200

It's not really scaled well for high resos, still, right?

So what is the ideal resolution without having blurry textures and eye soreness?

I played 2560x1440 (16:9) but I just changed to 1920x1080 (16:9) cause of eye soreness.

1920*1080 works well for me.

It is very simple build.
It's not mine, hilf on official forum wise up me (how to correctly use it? google is an idiot) that you don't need Steadfast Aim, you can replace it with Ambush.

with my 1920x1080 I'm using 1280x720, best quality - big letters, visible details on NPC bodies etc.

 

[Fenix]

Also - don't go to Lurker's territory!

While this fight wasn't so hard despite the number of opponents (if you go from other side, which is difficult, then you can catch psionic near the table, and fight will be a little easier)

Spoiler

this one was even harder, because chance to hit was simply lower, so I can't reliably hit them.

Spoiler

Don't fucking go there, you were warned.

 

[toro]

Wow. I just finished the Cliff and Jenny rescue mission ... it took me 2+ hours and I don't know how many tries

I never finished this quest before cause the complete requirements are: 30 Perception, 45 Lockpicking and the Doctor feat (basically the lowest level for this mission is probably 6).

I'm really glad that I did it at lvl 7 without Snipe or Ambush and I could have done it much faster but I really wanted to kill some Burrowers for XP (they drop a 2XP oddity and there are 2 or 3 oddities in the level). The problem is that it's hard to kill only a couple of Burrowers without aggro-ing the rest of them. Anyway, some pictures below.

Is this a Burrower's party? Cause it's not funny.

Caltropes and 3 Molotovs to the face cannot stop this motherfucker. Domination my ass, I ran like a pussy.

The secret was not to be retarded and aggro the Warrior. In the end I did it and it was worth it

Fuck yeah

 

[Fenix]

I did it after 10 level, maybe at 14, another places with burrowers earlier, like GSM compound, the problem was I coudn't hit small assholes, first time I met them it was 40+ cth, not it's 70+, which is ok.
I prefer to avoid usin grenades and the like - chemistry man, and Incredible Adventures of Agent Orange.

Btw, this quest was changed in a way, you don't need Doctor to save Cliff, if you sneak into bunker and clear a way to Jenny, then return to Cliff, talk to him then run quickly to Jenny and save her, thus Cliff will be saves.
But, as he said it - better to left this bitch down there.

 

[Tygrende]

You both just wait until you get to the Emporion Shopping Mall. There's at least 20+ lunatics on the 1st floor alone, pretty sure it's actually closer to 30 than 20. There's even snipers on the 2nd floor. Vanga and Frost have a new friend, too.

 

[Fenix]

I did it with stealth sledgehammer on old Hard, open fight happened only near campfire/barbecue.
Yeah, that place is....

Nice electric/acid pistol build.

But I'm not sure you need Skinner - there is no bonus for infused leather.

Skinner is a crafter feat. The 20% Bonus is not added for leather crafted by Blueprint: Infused Leather.

 

[toro]

I want to acquire Snipe, Ambush, Blitz (at lvl 10), Nimble, Sharpshooter, Critical Power.

Then: Gunslinger, Three-Pointer (this is the reason why I took 7 DEX otherwise I'm fucked)

And I think I will have room for one more feat but I have no idea what to choose: Sprint, Hit and Run, Point Shot or something else for the pistol.

I will not be able to craft shit but the stealth bonus for Snipe/Ambush will be insane. I really want to see how 50 AP + Blitz + Adrenaline works with Sniper rifles.

What do you think? What feat is must have for the pistol? Am I missing something? So many questions




PS: Point Shot or Rapid Fire?

 

[Spark Mandriller]

But I'm not sure you need Skinner - there is no bonus for infused leather.

Skinner is a crafter feat. The 20% Bonus is not added for leather crafted by Blueprint: Infused Leather.

That just means there's no bonus for when you're making the infused leather itself. Once you've made it and go to turn it into armour/boots the bonus applies.

You are correct.

Yes, it's still useful with super steel. Blueprint: Infused Leather is the only blueprint that uses leather but doesn't get the bonus. Some people thought infused leathers would get the bonus twice (once from infusing and again from crafting something with it), so I added that sentence. (epeli)

 

[Fenix]

So, to sum up this night - Agent Orange vs Lurkers 0:17.
Agent Orange vs Death Stalkers 0:10.
Don't go to Lurkers till 20 lvl. And better - don't go anywhere.

 

[Sykar]

Wiped the floor with them on hard difficulty. Stealth, Thought Control and Locus of Control for the win.

 

[Fenix]

Sure, but they wiped floor with me several times before I got them.
I think Ambush will change this a little, because I will get guaranteed crit from the darkness, and THEN Aimed shot.

The problem was in two who wear antitermic overcoat.
And if I stayed in LoS of metathermic user Agent Orange is dead man - frozen for 5 turns! Or killed with icicle - I guess cold damage goes freely through shield.
Same about Psychopath with his The Double Doppelgangers show.

 

[toro]

I just rekted the Depot A mutants (all of them in one fight) but I have to admit that I didn't stand a chance without Sure Steps + Burrowers Caltropes + Molotovs.

My sniper is already doing like ~400 dmg on Snipe/Aimed shot but there is no way for me to survive only with the primary weapon when the mobs spawn is crazy.

Some loot porn:

Maybe they are nothing special at high level but they look pretty good for my level.

K&H MP6 is incredibly useful with burst.

 

[Sykar]

I sneaked, lockpicked and hacked my way through. Just the way I like it.

I don't know how you do it ... I have max stealth skill for my level but the fucking dogs are aggro-ing like crazy. Also there are oddities hidden in the mutants rooms therefore I had to kill them.

I grab the easy oddities and head relatively straight for the drill parts. You can always come back later at a higher level if you want to wipe out the depot or when you can handle big crowds with confidence.
Having 60 hacking to shut down all the turrets is nice too.

Though I do not know what build you got probably not the same as mine.

Yeah. Your approach is better ... I already acquired a lot of oddities and I'm out of utilities.
