Underrail: The Incline Awakens

[Lawful Pacific]

So I tried psiless 18 dex versatility chem pistol build. I know that chem pistol is garbage in final boss, should I learn energy weapons or melee feats in late game?

 

[Fenix]

Started crossbowman again.

Nope, chem pistols can deal with anything provided you're using the right one (i.e. not using the acid one on mutants). Big T is no exception.

 

[Fenix]

Died to a bear trap - didn't know they can crit so doesn't count.
Decided to kill a dog from random encounter - miscalculated their MP so doggy bites me, killed @. Twice.
Decided it does count, so deleted.

This non-crit chemical build only deal about 1.3k damage to Tchort, that's really awful...

 

[Fenix]

But it has SI how it can't crit? Or you mean your @?

Ah, you mean no crit multiplier.

 

[Fenix]

Died as chem pistol again, forgot that caltrops can't kill NPC (rigth?), casino robbbery went goofy.

 

[Fenix]

Explain me Fragmented Chaos - has been told its bugged or doesn't work with Crit feat.
How it interact with Crit Power, do you need them both or rather one?

Caltrops can kill, its just they deal such little damage that it's unlikely. If you want them to reliably kill NPCs they have to burrower poison and you have to abuse their AI to make them walk over it repeatedly.

 

[Serus]

Died as chem pistol @ - DepotA, location with 1 plasma turret and lotsa dogs. Sneaked to control room with console, robot start to shoot, was destroyed, but... opened door in stealth just in case - all dogs were there.
Didn't survive that figth.

Don't despair. Another dozen attempts (or more...) and you'll make it. I believe in You!

When they left with 1 HP caltrops seemingly stop to damage them.

You will be fine, I beat him with a really crappy 10 perception chempistol build. Took a couple tries but it worked eventually. Chem pistol, and especially XAL can just freeze most of the tentacles lol. It doesnt make enough sound to lure tchortlings either.

Is Xal really that powerful if we don't count the downside? Or it was done for the memes?

What downside?, wear cau and acid res and you are taking no dmg from its kickback, you are dex so you will have escape artist anyways. You can even spec escape artist to give you 30mp when it roots you lol.

I mean is its damage really way superior to anything you can craft yourself right?

Its damage is decent, but its ap cost is what makes it shine.

 

[Fenix]

Yo.
My shotgun @ died at rando dungeon at Save Private Newton facility - with small centry bots and I had vest to reduce their damage to zero.
How that happened you could ask - simple, I was tricked into beliving there are only small ones, while there was regular behind a column and I was like - I'll just withstand their tiny damage output.
The most shameful part of the story? few years ago my IM run ended exactly like this in that dungeon at same place, for the same reason and same reasoning... sad lmao.
RIP Slutty Shotty.

 

[Fenix]

Yo momma.
Appleshot Mary, aspiring crossbowman - died to a delivery quest for Quicksilver Jack.
Bandits won initiative, and the one with hammer stunned her... RIP.

Im about 6 hours into Underrail and Im really enjoying it

I love the whole strategic nature of combat and the myriad of character customization options the game provides

And I particularly enjoy the whole exploration aspect of the game, its very open world around where you can go outside of the initial "fallen rock " barriers but this is the beginning of the game and there are lots of map regions to visit

I decided to be a Psi with crossbow and throwing skills and I am spending points on Stealth

This game is another example where you dont need expensive AAA features or the best visuals to have a thorough and excellent gaming experience

 

[Fenix]

Dixie Cocked, aspiring but careless chem pistol @ died to a bots in GMS - she was luring them in group but concequential flashbangs and too weak of a vest led to a silly demise...

 

[Eidein]

How do you keep dying so early lol

 

[Lawful Pacific]

I finally got Razor alive, and the second raid was simply kamikaze.

 

[BruceVC]

Im 20 hours into Underrail and its fantastic, I have just completed the Armadillo Drill quest and SGS has been attacked

A couple of points

I like the economy, money is always scarce and traders have limited money and dont buy everything. I enjoy that aspect of economic realism because it makes you strategic around what you buy and keep

Combat is the best part of the game, there are such a myriad of options and items to use. I have adopted Molotov Cocktails as my best method of dealing with groups and I use grenades and my Psi abilities to inflict maximum damage and chaos amongst enemies

I have learnt a lot about the advantages of EMP grenades and electrical attacks on robotic enemies because they created a huge problem for me initially especially in the GMS compound

The Depot A compound was very tough and I literally got to Wyatt with no healing items or Psi potions left , I would have been killed if there were any final enemies on his map

I decided to select Classic as my XP gain because I prefer the traditional way of gaining XP but I always explore most things anyway so I gain XP from finding oddity items. Its the best of both worlds


But great game and highly recommended

 

[Yosharian]

Yeah I prefer Classic as well, Oddity feels more like a way for experienced players to challenge themselves

 

[Lawful Pacific]

I hit 100% acid resistance and 4 AP Xal-001, even using corrosive acid and rustling acid interchangeably it's still difficult to deal with enemies that are immune to entanglement (naga and industrial bots). Chem pistols are not good at bursting out large amounts of damage in one turn. Fortunately, chem pistol build has many free feat slots, so it is recommended to also acquire energy pistol feats.
