Why brute force your way through Depot A? Just hack, pick and stealth your way in and out...
There's only two ways forward through Depot A - you either have to go underground and come up through an extremely narrow choke point of mutants (in the extremely unlikely event that I could walk past without any of them bumping, they'll spot a level 10 character regardless of what he's wearing in the time it takes to pass by) or you have to defeat two automated turrets to get the keycard to the main entrance. After several dozen attempts, neither of those things seems possible for this character.
The mutants in Wyatt's area are easily bypassed since they investigate noise. You can throw a grenade and then get past them while they all investigate. The best part is most mutants aren't set to patrol, so they won't move back to their original position. If you can lure them to an out of the way area they'll stay there forever and you can ignore them.
Oh shit
Sound memey to you guys? There's always a new freaky build on the works at CHEMS' kitchen.
your feats are good, it'll just take time before it feels knives have come online combat-wise - if you're not using one already, get a shock knife, early on they should make you feel better about yourself
How do I stack crit chance with a knife? Right now I'm using the kukri and the shock knife you find on a dead body in that very same depot A (no room for electronics yet) and no, absolutely could not kill an acid mutant in one turn. Three, maybe. Unless you meant the scrub mutants in the first section, in which case yeah, sure. Hard, not normal.
even on dom knives are fine even early. Crits and cheap shots should be enough to control the battlefield.
ahh now I see it. For starters - recklessness. Must pick for every crit focused build. Thats 7% you are missing, another 5% will come from knife crafting(with feat)
Where would one get tichrome anything before depot A, mercantile or no? The only merchant who even has a mercantile check before depot A is blaine, and he doesn't carry metal plates of any kind.
blaine special stock includes q80 tichrome
default one is coretech. They got best shock emiters, shield components and so on
They are now. Besides the great crit chance, they can apply a stack of expose weakness and cripple. You can get a double EW if you use EW with kukri. Good for bladelings.
Critting. Robots wall psi hard if you're not ready for it. TC is hard countered, can't do shit against them. MT can deal with them if you crit, but after getting plasma beam it get's easier. PK can deal with it somehow when you get proxy and implosion, but the cooldowns will ruin you, there's the shock spell too, i don't remember if it has a cooldown, but the damage isn't great. You could try TM, distortion makes insane damage if you build around it. Overall avoid robots if you're running psi, at least in the early game.
No, you're gay! Stealth is awesome. Not getting hit is a defense tactic, whether dodging, evading or not getting seen. If you're running a conlet squishy cave wizard, you better get that stealth up.
The loss isn't permanent anyway, you just have to wait a couple hours in-game and all the negative effects from Motion will go away.
Yeah, nagas absolutely fuck knives. Without expose weakness you basically can't hurt them, since they have 95% effective mech DR and enough elec/energy DT to completely block electroshock/energy edge. And with expose weakness they're... still incredibly tough. The only feasible way to kill them I can think of is stacking thrown corrosive acid and expose weakness, after hitting them with an EMP so they're forced to stay in the puddle. Or maybe meme shit where you use demolitionist belt to hit one with six EMP mk 3s, though they have so much hp you'll have to do that twice for the kill.
Use night vision and the passage shows up even with 3 perception.
