How do I sabotage the elevator in the Epione lab without hacking? The fifth load bearing column is behind a hacking 50 garage door...

If memory serves, there should be a computer console somewhere in there that lets you open the door. Not sure though

 

[jackofshadows]

Killing everyone is an option, right?

I don't have enough hacking to use it

Everything is dead including the chemical fuckers

Maybe there was a card somewhere. Double check the bodies.

It will get boring after a while.

Should I opt for the meta-knowledge (although limited) or is it expected to re-roll several times until I comprehend the positive and negative aspects of character development?

Just go in blind and go by your intuition. The system actually isn't very punishing in that regard, especially on normal, and you'll likely make do with all but the dumbest builds. Generally speaking, pump the skills you need for combat as much as you can, then put the rest in utility skills as needed.

The "feedback" when people say you need meta in order to complete subj was done by literal retards. Meta is for bored fans, try this try that etc. You just pick your prefered wep skill and complementary ones and go through it, have fun.

Always go blind for the 1st run otherwise you will have no reference run for a comparison with the future runs because once you play Underrail you will definetly come back to it

don't listen to the retards who tell you to go in blind, you'll probably end up with a build that dies in the 2nd area (junktown). many many people quit the game once they realize they have to start over

 

[Grunker]

I agree, the game is much more fun if you know what you’re going for buildwise. Especially on Dom. I seldom restart games but I restarted this one 3-4 times before settling on my starting stuff and I planned out my entire build in a build planner beforehand

 

[lukaszek]

on normal even knife thrower going in blind should be able to clear junkyard

 

[thesecret1]

I've got several successful DOM runs behind me and haven't used the build-planner once. What the fuck are you guys on about? "I think I wanna use guns => put as many points into guns as possible", "I wanna dodge things rather than tank them => put as many points into the dodge skills as possible". There, done, everything else are utility skills that are nice-to-have but aren't really necessary for any build. As for stats, for a newbie: "Hmm, I wanna use guns, but idk what stats I need. Oh look, it says Perception is good for guns. So I'll leave all the other stats on default 5, and put the rest of the points into perception" - not optimal, but more than enough to beat the game on normal. It's really not complicated!

As for Junkyard, beating that thing isn't about your build, it's about learning how to use your equipment. I've gone through that shitty place so many times now, and it's never about what build I have, it's always about what grenades, traps, and chems I've got and how well I can cheese doors.

Yeah, I will try another run blind. Thanks for the answers, gents. But, is the harder difficulty unfair or is it a smart hard difficulty?

Here's a breakdown for you. Do NOT play on Dominating for your first playthrough is the best advice I can give you. I enjoy it, but lots of people don't (though I suspect that the main reason for that is just that they can't handle death stalkers), and it's designed to be unfair – not something for one's first time.

 

[Grunker]

My first playthrough was Dominating and I absolutely loved it. I went completely blind except for my build and the restarts which were all within an hour or two of play. Dom forces you to get creative but you probably won’t enjoy it if you don’t like using a lot of different consumables and generally avoiding straight up fights in early game

You should be fine on Hard and below if you pick one weapon class (as in sniper rifles, pistols, knives, etc) and stick to it. Don't skip out on grenades, traps, drugs and crafting, they're all useful on pretty much any character. Depot A is the main test of your character and your tactical prowess, if you can clear it you'll probably be able to clear the entire game.

I enjoy abusing consumables. And I prefer hard tactical combat, since the vast majority of games are quite easy. Anyway, I like your taste in games, can you give me some off the top of your head turn based tactical/strategy/rpgs recs with deep systems and fun but challenging combat games? Tks, bro.

Aight, normal it is, then. Btw, did you enjoy this new DLC?

I'm mid-playthrough rn and haven't gotten to the new are yet. I'm having fun with the new weapon types though
