Underrail: The Incline Awakens

[CthuluIsSpy]

You lose the huxkey and Constantine though, so it isn't worth it.
You can get an early shield at the burrower cave in GMS

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

I nearly got softlocked in GMS AGAIN.... this time as a psican TC/PK which hasn't upped STR attribute on levelup yet
and doesn't have mechanics to repair GMS elevator.... and didn't bother to get electrokinesis spell yet
Snuck into level3 of GMS but on my way back found that the sentry bot has gone orange and walked towards the hatch, so putting me into instant combat with this damn sentry bot not only stunning and incapping me, but also blocking my way so I had to kill it before moving into the side room and escaping.
The only reason it didn't end the run is that I'd used rathounds to kill the SGS sentry outside GMS and stole his armour, so I could tank 5 sentry bots for multiple rounds until a combination of PSipunches and 50% hitchance bullets (no gun skill) and emp nades cvould break past it

Yeah, the robots are GMS are pretty dangerous. You can abuse their AI by having them all bunch up at a door and throw a couple of EMP grenades to chain stun them and slowly kill them.

my favourite trick is placing two bear traps in the trapdoor-adjacent room, with the door open so the trapdoor-guarding bot can see them and comes over to disarm them
meanwhile you exit through the other door into the corridor, close that door, run around and close the other door, trapping it inside.
I can't be bothered to do that on replays often though

 

[Snufkin]

Mordre with gas granade is still a thing?

Might not be for long cos we're on a 'no fun allowed' bender. https://stygiansoftware.com/forums/index.php?topic=9138.0
Backup your gayme folder before it's too late.......

 

[lukaszek]

I made it so the sec-trooper can't be lured away like that anymore. It was never intended for the player to steal the patroller without provoking hostilities with Aegis.

the what now?

 

[Snufkin]

Im thinking o playing Spear guy with metal armor. So Chosen one kinda pokes stuff with pointy stick and get a power (tungesten) armor fantasy.

steal the jetski (or interact with it in any way)

that's fine and probably works better than standard riot gear with shield anyway.

 

[lukaszek]

what I meant is how it punishes sneaky characters. Unless I am missing something in here?

You can't use a distraction like noise to clear the area of witnesses. It doesn't pertain to stealth builds specifically.

Going to do a shotgun playthrough, what are my options gear-wise? Especially armor, I've only ever ran tin can or infused cave hopper, is there an in-between option yet? Single-shot or auto-shotguns? What are the must-have feats? Please no trolling

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Single shot is considered to be more "meta", but auto is pretty fun.
You can go Nimble can, but it will take a while to get off because you'll need several feats and equipment to be tank and mobile enough to fight effectively with a shotgun.

 

[the mole]

underrail was special because you're a sigma male vs the world basically, not much yapping in your ear, just solo exploring through the dank caves and tunnels, you don't have to cater to all the personalities if you don't want to, no companion quests you have to pretend to care about for xp or a potentially unique weapon, yea pretty cool, I've realized replaying wrath all the fucking yapping and emotional set pieces I have to get through is a turn off, gotta pick the right dialogue to progress, murder hobo is a life

I played a shotgun character in heavy armor with neither range, nor mobility and it was pretty good. Wouldn't advise doing it without 10 CON, though. I used both types of shotguns since I had the STR for Full-auto and ended up using the burst one mostly for bosses since burst tends to massively overkill trash mobs.

Yngwar-ferryman-todd is cool tho. Planescape tier.

• Fixed the bug where Vanishing powder grenade would not work if it was last one in the stack or if stack was removed from the utility slot
• You can no longer use hyperallergenic in blueprints that do not support it (and thus wasting it)

wind up is bugged now its global AP reduction so can spam big boy weapons for 5AP or something

 

[damager]

For me still the most complete and polished RPG since it's release.

The only thing that reaches 1990's levels quality wise and does not reek like total jank 5 minutes into the game (at latest), after the great age of decline.

 

[Agesilaus]

If it's so well polished, why isn't there a steam achievement for finishing the game on dominating?




Anyway, I'm trying to do an energy weapon/high int playthrough on dominating right now. I'm off to GMS, but was delayed for the longest time because I fled back to SGS after defeating the thugs who ambush you and demand the package. In doing so, I left two rathound alphas and a rathound near the exit... who thus had guaranteed first turn the moment I reenter the location. Couldn't find a viable alternative route, and funds were low.

But after dealing with those beetles to save Newton, I wasn't going to give up. Walked to the junkyard and got myself some morphine, put on some armour, and proceeded to tank 3 attacks despite being a conlet. Then molotov'd them and I am back on track. I also need to learn to love traps, caltrops and bear traps would make a big difference. I can already craft lvl3 grenades though, so Depot A should be a breeze when I get there.

I will be Coretech's strongest soldier.

 

[damager]

That's because achievements are for consoletards

 

[damager]

I think I will make a build with one of the Heavy Duty weapon types soon and explore the naval expansion pack areas for the first time.

Maybe a spear + granade launcher + heavy armor dude?

 

[Agesilaus]

Edit: Oh no not spoilers about early enemy encounters in underrail expedition and loot in depot a!

 

[damager]

Stop spoling me

 

[Agesilaus]

Coretech's strongest soldier just dominated depot A. Numerous LVL 3 grenades & magnesium cocktails were deployed alongside shots from the thumper and my ~high technicalities~ laser pistol (int: 12). I even remembered to toss some caltrops in one battle.

I'm only lvl9 right now, but when I reach 12 I'm thinking I'll boost my Dex to 8 and get three pointer. Grenades have been critical for me so far.

KotC I-II, Grimoire, Kenshi and Brigand are up there too

Honestly Underrail ruined 90s RPGs for me.
