Other question about high diff. Is the .44 magnum revolver viable as an backup weapon for a psy main? In normal, that revolver saved me a lot when I was out of my ""mana""
Psi main shouldn't need backup weapons. Pump will as much as you can, use mufflers, get 7 con for fast metabolism and hemopsychosis if you're psychosis. In this way you kill everything before you run out of psi. Much more efficient than using guns.
Just purchased this game. Have yet to play it. Any guides I should look out for? Builds/strats/...etc?
Focus on just one weapon type, trying to be good with every type of gun or guns+melee or whatever usually makes your character suck. Except sniper rifles, if you're using sniper rifles you do want another gun for killing weak enemies/enemies that are in your face.
Grenades are really strong, get some throwing so you can use grenades. You don't need that much, just enough to be acceptably accurate.
Stealth is good in this game, having some stealth and keeping a spare set of sneaking equipment for when you need it is a good idea. Porky didn't take stealth and that's why he's mad.
Taking the psi pill permanently lowers your max hp by 20%, so if you're not interested in psi tell the doctor to fuck off.
Assault rifles need 6 strength (though there's a good feat for them that requires 7), sniper rifles/shotguns need 5 strength, metal armour needs 8/9 strength. The game doesn't tell you that at character creation so if you want to use one of those make sure you have enough. And bunch of melee weapons need strength too but if you're using them you should be pumping it for more damage, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Don't follow a build guide, build guides suck. Make your own character. People who don't come up with their own character are boring.
