Underrail: The Incline Awakens

[Blackmill]

Underrail 2 better let you kill that West Wing fucker. I tried to kill him in so many ways...

 

[Nines]

Is anyone willing to recommend a viable build?

Nah. The very basic six viable character builds are AR/Throwing/heavy, Sledge/Throwing/Heavy, Crossbow/Stealth/Traps, Knife/Stealth/Traps, pure psi (with a choice of Tranquility or Psychosis focus), and fist weapon/psi hybrid. You can also specialize in sniper rifles, SMGs, pistols (including energy/chemical pistols) with a variety of heavy or stealth builds, drop a psi discipline in favor of a particular weapon skill, Throwing, Traps, etc.

These can be mix 'n' maxed significantly, and also, most if not all of them can branch out into at least one or two other viable skills by halfway through the game.

Also, absolutely no defensive skills or even armor are necessary for pure psi, although you'll certainly want a shield and either decent defensive armor or stealth armor, depending on whether or not you're using stealth.

Where do i find the workbenches for the house?

Also side note of aggravation i did not realise until heavy armour run you can't disassemble boots, when you can put a spring into the slots which are pretty rare to find for some reason you cannot disassemble to get them back now i an walking around with shit tier boots i made up to 4-5 levels ago and i can't remake them better because i can't find a spring component and i don't want to miss out on this speed boost.

Electronics is in Foundry, West guy.
Mechanics is in Rail Crossing, first shop.
Biology in Junkyard, the good doctor.
Can't remember tailor but probably its in Camp Hathor.

[Blaine]

I found all of the benches immediately during a merchant run, even the tailoring bench which I guessed must be in Camp Hathor. I never visit the place otherwise, but it's the animal hunting camp, so that was a nice hint. Also, I vaguely recalled seeing a weird table there at some point.

Also, even if you have 0 Mercantile, try bargaining down the price. I recall getting a [Mercantile] discount on one of them despite having no skill. That might be a bug, or maybe he's a shitty negotiator.

Good luck finding high-quality boot springs. The best I ever found during my last playthrough boosted my speed by 36%. Boot springs, psionic mufflers, and even black cloth of all things can be tough to find.

Maybe viable? I keep coming back to a sniper/pistolero.

Starting stats this time

STR 5
DEX 7
AGI 7
CON 3
PER 10
WIL 3
INT 5

So, first three stat gains into AGI and pick up Blitz feat at 12. I don't know why, but it's a handy feat. Rest is supposed to go into DEX. WELL ATLEAST I'LL HAVE AWESOME INITIATIVE

Feats at level 15 so far

Aimed Shot
Nimble
Opportunist
Kneecap Shot
Quick Tinkering
Snipe
Blitz
Sharpshooter
Execute

Probably pick Rapid Fire, maybe Sprint, maybe Crit Power

Starting feats were first two. Kneecap Shot eh, I dunno, kinda worthless this time. I mostly just snipe, drop a trap and aimed shot and regular shoot the rest, rarely use it.
Also I'm thinking Execute was so far a shit choice. I don't feel like fucking around with tazers or nades just to get one effect off, Rapid Fire is great damage and has a chance for crit on all three shots. But eh we'll see.
No crafting feats because fuck that. Also 5 INT.

Skills at 15

Guns 85
Dodge/Ev 85
Stealth 55
Hax 85
Lockpicking 75
Traps 25
Mechanics 80
Electronics 30
Tailoring 75

That's one of the Freds in Hathor. Makes sense.

In the middle of playlist there is few good builds.

They lowered the req to i think about 80 in a patch after release which was good because fuck whatever it was on before.

Remember that junkyard surprises can give you 2 extra int to pass this check earlier ;D

There is one thing which single-handedly ruined my immersion: How come in Underrail there are Bear Traps without Bears !?????

 

[Jack Dandy]

RatBears are a species unique to northern Underrail, obviously

Are you saying you don't stock up on Junkyard Surprises every time you visit Junkyard?

Actually it's 100-. I have 70 points in Mechanics, which are boosted up to 87 with 7 Int. No Surprises here.

The same way there are newtons without Newton.
Now, there was that game, I forgot the name of it. So, there were more dragons than brown bears for some reason. That's what I call anti-immershun.

Because people assume she is the missing merchant when she is not. Missing merchant is in faceless camp in DC. And she has some things to say about Tanner

No, now it is just more bearable.

Spoiler

Mushroom puzzle is still shit, and Deep Worm maze is still irritating. Also Eye of Tchort still stacks up too fast before you get the feat. First timers to DC will have as many problems with this as before. They only fixed it for people like Blaine. This is Blaine's patch :D
