How the fuck do I stop Crippling Strike from fucking up my sledgehammer and assault rifle characters?

>>359335537
The best RPG in a long time.

I was fighting my way through and didn't realize I ran out of repair kits. I guess I could sneak back out and go back to the compound to get supplies.

>>359335235
Fuck me, I forgot about this game. they add in veteran levels yet?

I think I quit near tchort or some shit close to the very end. Time to restart I guess

>>359350269
I already told you what to do in that case.

Crippling Strike is -2 str, adrenaline is +2 str. Crippling strike has 1 turn cooldown.
Use an adrenaline shot and kill the fucker before he gets another crippling strike off.

>>359349830
I havent done one but i think consensus is that youll be disappointed when you get to the deep caverns

>>359335235
I made a:

Guns
Hacking
Lockpicking
Dodge
Evade
Electronics + some other crafting thing
Mercantile

hero, does that seem good?

>chemical pistol/mad scientist fag
>currently using my homemade acid pistol and crawling around the metro near Rail Crossing doing some exploring

Feels comfy man. I hate this acid pistol more than life itself though. Currently looking to replace it with an incendiary pistol. Should I use an energy pistol for my offhand?

>>359350840
Sometimes there's two knife fuckers, and Carnifex is impossible to kill in one turn.

I only beat him by getting very lucky with a surveillance camera kill triggering Commando.

>>359351214
>Using an energy or chem pistol

Get a 7.62 pistol and thank me later familia. Shrapnel ammo.

>>359351214
Oh also am I making a mistake by not getting in the way of the Faceless? I let them kill that guy. I keep helping Abram too

>>359351009
Mercantile is shit.

>>359350256
no, i'm underrailed

>>359351448
Why? I'd think it would go well with getting crafting parts and keeping stocked up on ammo

>>359351419
You're good. The Faceless aren't the bad guys in this world, mate. They're just trying to live, just like you and yours.

You'll make far more money dropping it and grabbing mechanics or tailoring. Money stops being an issue very early on anyway.

JUST

>>359351757
yeah I have mechanics and electronics already

>>359351258
Carnifex is the hardest 1v1 fight in the game.

Also remember the first tip: Don't let them get to you. Bear traps, throwing nets, whatever works for you.

Or you could just craft better armor. It's not too hard to get metal armor threshold so high most hobos simply can't penetrate it with their dinky little knives.

stopped playing after you get to the city right after the junkyard city
I enjoyed it but it got p repetitive
is it worth continuing or is it just more of the same

does the story ever get interesting

>>359351810
So what instead>?

>>359351943
>exothermic aura vs. carnifex
fucking lmao

>>359352178
literally anything, but mechanics is good, traps and stealth could be as well (although they're usually not taken with dodge/evasion), or divide the points up between throwing and traps (neither need to be that high)

even persuasion would be better

>>359352047
The story is really cool but the game doesn't spoonfeed any exposition to you, except near the end.

You gotta find and solve the mysteries yourself.

I'm saving all of my good stuff for super steel. Already have two pieces of it, just need to wait a few more levels until my skills are high enough to work with it.

Pretty sure I bought this piece of shit early on in the Junkyard and have been using it ever since. Should I go ahead and make a new set or keep waiting?

>>359352475
Well I already have guns mechanics and electronics. I guess I was going for a ranged build with hacking/picking and supported crafting. Is throwing going to be a good backup choice? Does that affect grenades? I took mercantile because I felt like I wanted a in-conversation sort of thing to use so maybe I will go persuasian.

>>359351943
>Carnifex is the hardest 1v1 fight in the game.
depends on the build. With knife builds it's pretty easy

How do I spec ops? SMG + stealth + suppressive + opportunist?

>>359353068
Getting the Spec Ops feat would be a start.

>>359353249
Are you calling me a faggot?

>>359352868
>Does that affect grenades?
yes

it doesn't need to be that high, but at 0 throwing, you'll find that your grenades will ping off at right angles and shit, which is really annoying (i usually get it to around 30 or 40 then stop)

mercantile's only real use is to get more money, persuasion is actually used in dialogue to open up new quests/solve quests in different ways

>>359352947
Yea it's pretty easy for some builds but it's still the hardest 1v1 fight.

>>359353249
Spec Ops is so great. Bursting four times in one turn is great.

There's something I'm not getting. After I finished Core City (went with JKK), I decided to fuck up some Praetorians to get their oddity and the Sword Handle in the their HQ. I snuck in, no one saw me, I killed some guys with a silenced SMG and combat ended right after they died without them acting, meaning there were no witnesses, correct? So why are all the Praetorians hostile on sight to me? How do they even know?

What sort of STR do I need to use a sniper rifle or shit?

>>359354317
5

>>359353969
Isn't it a controlled zone? You can't assassinate people there without getting caught.

Is Ambush as situational as it sounds?

What's the most fun way to do stealth? SMGs or full knife?

Uhh...let's say for the sake of argument that I went in and iced Cornell and the Acid Hunters before speaking to them - did I just fugg up my game? Edstrom doesn't have any additional dialogue for me and I'm not sure what to do.

>>359355370
Damn, even if they never saw me? That's kind of a lame gameplay contrivance.

>>359355486
Yes. But it works pretty well with firebombs and sometimes with flares.

Both are perfectly viable, just pick the one most appealing to you

>>359351214
Amplified plasma pistol, build for crit. Acid pistol is great you just wont want it until after depot A. Incendiary is great too because setting people on fire is excellent. Cryo a shit. Anyone you cant one shot with plasma should be melted or set on fire.

You better be using that science to build lots of great grenades. Three pointer is unreal on that build.

>>359357104
I seriously cannot find the location for the Find EMP device quest. Even after looking at a map and going through the rest of the game, I still can't figure out where the fuck this place is.

>>359335235
Holy fuck, I just cleared Depot A myself and this game is great. I came into one of these threads about a week ago and decided to try it, and got a ton of help with an Assault Rifle build and I fucking love it, so thanks a ton if you helped me out or recommended me the game especially whoever told me to stock up on EMP grenades

I do have a question, though. I was planning to do a full heavy-armour build, but I found a great tactical vest overcoat that's 20%/18 and +200% threshold vs bullets; where all the metal armour I can find only had a threshold of /14 or so and no bonus.
Have I just found a really fucking good vest? Or have I not found any actually good metal armour yet? Either way, I'm alright to stick with this for now, right?
Also, the slang/language in this game is great. I'm just getting my first taste of lore and it's addictively intriguing

>>359350013
This is probably the moment I fell in love with the game.

Yeah, those heavy anti-rifle vests are better against bullets than metal armor and DT 14 metal armor kinda sucks.

But the thing about metal armors is resistance, not threshold. They also have good protection against melee, crossbows and energy weapons unlike tac-vests.

JKK has the easiest version of the warehouse quest and you could a pretty good cloaking generator from there. They're my favorite lorewise too, the other guys are assholes.

>>359363007
Coretech for electronics
JKK for sneaky shit
Praetorian for dakka dakka

Protectorate > Drones

>>359363007
Coretech, Protectorate

Drones are kinda fun too, you meet wacky anarchists and they're batshit crazy, but with the Protectorate you get to pilot a mech and engage in chemical warfare

Ah, okay, thanks for the help. I think I'll stick with the vest for now, just until I find a really good metal armour or can craft one. I only really have trouble with crossbow assholes because they can use Aimed Shot. I had a bit of a look at the wiki and I think I understand the resistance/reduction mechanics a bit better now.

Is there any point to hurrying to pick up an Energy Shield on this build? Who should I use it against, snipers and the like? What frequency is best for a heavy-armour user?

Also, since I took some stealth on this build I did the quests from Abram in Junkyard
That's a good thing and I didn't fuck anything up too badly, r-right?

There's literally no reason not to. It doesn't change anything with the Protectorate. Kinda dumb desu, there should be some kind of consequence.
Follow up on the Abrams questline ASAP when you get to Core City. It's great.

Oh, good, I'm glad I didn't do something to fuck up my relations with them. I'm just now deciding where to go first - Core City, Rail Crossing or Camp Hathor - or to go back and finish working for the Eels in Junkyard; I explored the underpassages around SGS a bit but ran into some tough enemies and then went back and cleared the Burrower cave at GMS. Fuck those things.

>>359366250
I saved Core City till I basically had nothing left to do in lower Underrail, and that felt right.

>>359366713
>Do Hathor next :^)
O-okay, anon.
To be honest they weren't that bad this time, I could usually burst down an adult Burrower in a couple of turns. Being immune to all non-critical spawn damage was a big help, it was just annoying since because of the layout, every now and then I'd get totally surrounded by spawn, and when that happened the adult burrowers were smart enough to hit me with poison and then hide out of sight since I couldn't move. After a couple of turns of that I ended up with full stacks of the poison and like 35 damage a turn. At least the expediment of molotov cocktails works, especially since I had another jacket that made me immune to burning so I could just drop one at my own feet.

It was straight bullshit the first time I tried it though, I can understand why Gorsky wanted to seal that shit up.

Weapons dealers sometimes want them, what they want to buy is (within their accepted categories) randomised whenever you speak to them after the shop refreshes.
So don't scrap good crossbows because when repaired they can be worth a fuckton.
Source: just sold 30000 worth of crossbows to Lucas

>>359369265
What the fuck did you buy?

>>359368920
There are couple of good shops for them, but both are hidden in one way or another. Deacon and Constantine.

It's easier to scrap most of them and sell the repair kits instead.

>It's easier to scrap most of them and sell the repair kits instead.
Is this a good option? I've been doing it the other way around instead, by using most of my repair kits to repair items and then selling them.
If the situation a the Junkyard turns out the way I think it will, I think I'm going to need a few more after that.

>>359369813
Yeah, I think you've just had bad luck with the shops, anon. I know it's pretty rare - this is the first time I've visited Lucas and he actually wanted to buy them, thank god he wanted 3 at that. I actually had to go back to my room and collect them from storage.
He's not the only one, though, I remember I sold a couple to that chick in Junkyard the first or second time I came across her.
