    The skill-shot way is to dodge and then wait for his little stop animation. If you hit him in the back of the leg it’ll do a temporary armor crack and then a second shot on that same leg within a few sec will kill it. you’ll notice a little flame on his leg that indicates you’ve hit the first shot correctly.

    But the other suggested ways are easier to time, especially if there’s a lot of Chaos going on









  • the key phrase there being ‘more frequent’. the fast travel and character customization are all in the game and have a more in-universe integration. the game systems are supposed to be more immersive than just click the map and fast travel. you typically either take a cart from town to town or warp using a stone that gets used up.

    I like it the way it is, makes leaving town to quest and adventure have another layer of strategy. If someone wants to bypass that strategy layer with money then so be it. I certainly would prefer that it be a mod rather than a MTX, and will definitely not be buying any regardless.


  • I tried one of these. cool concept, but execution was meh. Would be better with their external device thing that locks the screen in place.

    Also, and YMMV, but it was the only VRish thing to make me nauseous (but not overly so) after a while due to the screen moving. I’ve flown jets in VR comfortably, but XCOM on the NReal was troublesome.

    also you need a hub type thing to be able to charge the deck and use the glasses at the same time. not a big deal, but then the deck is pretty bulky





  • been digging the arc thrower, jetpack, EAT combo against the bug bastards lately. last slot is circumstantial or experimental.

    having the jump pack pairs super well with the arc’r since you can both get on high ground for better clearance and/or get a few extra zaps in before jetting to safety.

    arc thrower was scary to use at first due to the team kill potential, but I rarely hit people now and it is so great at keep hordes at bay.

    I’m not as comfortable against bots so I follow more of the ‘meta’ load out with rail gun and eagle strike.
