I'll honestly say I'm somewhat underwhelmed with machetes and especially flurry. I think it works out fine in theory but in practice anything below 85% to hit tends to fuck you over much sooner rather than later. God forbid you have 50% chance to hit on something, then you are well and truly fucked, don't even attempt to flurry, it's not worth it. Well, or savescum for it to work. As it turns out though, more difficult enemies tend to give you a lower chance to hit, and when (not if, when) your flurry fails, you are stuck next to a dangerous enemy in melee range. You're not very much in a position to escape. I'm not sure whether I'll abandon the build yet, but for now my impression is flurry/machetes are only effective for someone who is willing to savescum their way through everything, or they might only really work if you also have a reliable way to keep consistently stunning enemies, raising your chance to hit them.

Also, about parry/riposte, which I haven't tested yet, 2 feats is severely expensive. I'm guessing for now it might not really be worth it and there will always be dozens of other things you can do with 2 feats instead of taking parry/riposte.

Alright, boys, I'm stuck with Dude's extended quest.

Spoiler

I figured out the riddle with the code, and I completed the Juice and am now in the Slavic fortress. How the fuck do I get out? I managed to steal some officers clothes so I can walk around pretty much unmolested for the most part, but I can't find the mineral oil he wants. Do I have to kill everyone? Is there a way to do this passively?

Thanks.

Is there anyway to get the card from the guys desk without him noticing? Or do I have to kill him? And are you talking about the doors that say schtaub?

Will it ease your pain if i tell you Flurry used to be 4 attacks at 15% THC penalty?

I've build my sword&board guy around Flurry - giving it max chance to hit and handling situations when it does miss.
I was raising Traps for placing bear traps before battle. I also picked Quick Tinkering for bear traps during battle. I may specialize it in future.
I've specialized Flurry's cooldown asap. I also have Temporal Manipulation so with LTI Flurry's CD will be just one turn.
But what if both Flurry and LTI are on CD? Stasis yourself.
I had Sprint. Together with Temporal Contraction is gives good movement points fo tactical retreats when Flurry is on CD.
Throwing net is your friend. It can be hard to hit with it without a lot of Throwing but if enemy is incapacitated (flashbang) or frozen it will have 95% accuracy. It's sad net got nerfed recently but that's life.
I also had Metathermics for cryostasis, cryo-shield (i was block based), cryo-orb (aoe slow and bleed for my Taste for Blood) and exothermic aura. I raised both psi schools only to 70 to unlock abilities i cared about.

I didn't get too far with this build (lvl 20 on Classic XP) so i don't know how it fares in endgame but it did fine so far.

Ok thanks, I'll try out some of your suggestions, sounds good. How did you deal with swarms of enemies, like burrowers and their spawns? And did you try out parry+riposte? I've been hoping someone could tell me how good it is in practice.

Spears and swords are clearly more defense-oriented alternatives to knives and sledgehammers, but one minor issue with this is that killing enemies quickly is one of the best defenses, second only to shield emitters and mobility. Everything else comes in a distant fourth or fifth.

For the ultimate Underrail gambling experience, rely on swords, Dodge, and Evasion!

Still and all, I'm enjoying my spear build thus far, even though my Throwing skills sucks. I've merely maxed the skill, and haven't pumped 5+ points into the base attribute (nor will I ever).

Is it just me, or has it been extremely difficult to find any oddities on the new enemies in the Black Sea for anyone else too? Feels like almost every encounter is better off being avoided for me so far. I like that, but I also like some kind of reward for getting through a challenging encounter occasionally.

 

[Jezal_k23]

Is there a particular place I can get really high quality Electroshock Generators?

 

[Jezal_k23]

If anyone cares, looks to me like the way to determine the maximum electricity damage added to your machete by Electroshock Generator is 0.54*quality, and the minimum is always half that value.

Since I tend to avoid encounters altogether because of Oddity mode, and especially because enemies in the Black Sea tend to screw PSI characters in the ass by sheer quantity

Coretech shop with high mercantile or the electronics guy in the Institute are probably the best options.

 

[ItsChon]

By the way, with the new level cap, I'm pretty sure you can make a character that could effectively use Balor's Hammer in the uber late game.

Edit: Does Power Fists strength bonus apply even if it's in offhand? Because if that's the case, start with 10 strength, get 7 through levels, 1 through rathound regalia armor, 1 through powerfist, and 1 through rathound bbq. 20 strength right there.

 

[Wunderbar]

What's the difference between straight and curved machetes?

 

[ciox]

ciox wrong button maybe?

Nope, it's a joke that you/your character will grow old and decrepit by the time you get it.
It's not THAT bad, just a serious increase in waiting time over buying food from Junkyard, you have to solve enough Core City/Lower Underrail quests to enter the Black Sea, then there's another quest or two that needs to be done in there as well.

Turns out Depot A is much harder when playing as a squishy melee character, rather than as a sniper with high-powered rifle loaded with armor-piercing rounds.
Any tips for getting a keycards from a room with two turrets and a bunch of sentry robots?

I remember sprinting past the turrets while using just about everything that boosts movement points, and sometimes a forcefield to help things along, stealth for the robots.
At worst you can just buy some EMP grenades.
