Underrail: The Incline Awakens

[Fenix]

Eidein what's your take on shotgun build, Per score in particular?
There could be a few variants - I know that even blind 3 Per shotgunner does work, but there are variations - like 6 for a few feats like Supressive Fire etc, 9 for Fragmented Chaos, 11 for Scrutinous.
The diff in Per score will go to Agility - I guess, effective defence stats, rigth?
For mee, 11 Per with Scrutinous seems a bit overkill. Like, you get those 7% crit at 26, half in not more of the game is behind?
9 seems to be more balanced.
3 Per seems a bit too small for IM run, that blindness is quite noticeable - untill you level up specialisation in Leading Shot.
If it's 9 Per then you could get 11 Agi - hmmm?

So, what's your take on?

Edit: or 6 Agi 7 Will for Figth Response? Not that it matter at that point probably?

PS Also what do you think about Fragmented Chaos vs Crit Power? CP only benefits Despot-Vindicator, FC is a benefit for all shotguns, but do we need that? I use Vagabond early-mid, Vindicator every time, Tyranny mid-late.
Base FC/specialised FC is
20 pellets 12.5-17.5
12 pellets 20.8-29
6 pellets 41.6-58.3
3 pellets 83.3-116.6

Tyranny burst with 3 pellets with FC is gonna hurt (if you hit lol).
Given that you will specialise after Six Shell, I even doubt it's worth it, better to specialise some utilities instead, like Last Stand cd, Sprint etc.

Only shotgun build i played was 17 perception for insane damage but I think a decent minimum is 9-10 probably, Sixth shell does carry alot of damage with it so your per doesnt need to be very high. Similar to assault rifle where you get 8 for conc fire and leave it.

I tried a full shotgun crit build but i remember specing crit power was such a terrible idea it did not pay off.

Wouldnt take 7 will just for fight response sounds very silly.

I think if you are going agi focused you take 10 for blitz, 7 str for full auto, 5 dex for leading shot, and then just pump perception and get scrut.

If you are going tanky then you can probably take 8 str for armour (just 1 more after full auto), same dex, and i guess 7 will for stoicism and higher con instead of agility. Whether or not you want to trade all your agi for con or just stick to 6 agi for sprint is up to you.

I would build an agility focused shotgunner like this:

On ironman I may move 2 points from int to con or per to con, or both.

Pic didn't load.
I consider Escape Artist a must for IM? Also thinking right now about Thick Skull - if not then Int 5, more room to breath.

and no you do not need escape artist or thick skull, 3 out of 4 of my finished ironman runs didn't have escape artist. Just be mindful of when chempistols show up in fights and what enemies have nets. I don't fight acid dogs in depot A really if you do i guess you could move dex to 7 and take it but meh, I never do.

Thick skull is the same, just remember stun sources and how to avoid them. If you are super scared about enemies with stuns after midgame you can craft a couple bullheads.

You know, those 10% stun from hammer seems to be miniscule - on the player-->NPC vector, while on the NPC-->player vector is different - it is enough to proc 1 time and @ tipically die, my @ for sure as I don't play heavy armor at all...

A character with agility should never be in a position to be hit with a hammer, and a tank can just tank it.

 

[Fenix]

Died while resquing Maure, lvl 14...
What to say... tried to kill sentry from around a corner where medblock is, didnt make it in 1 turn (probably 6 pellet was wrong choice?) so second one arrived, then guard that walks along Maura cell, then the one at stair....
if I had 10 more MP I could survive.

Shotgun requre planning...

I think your problem is fighting anybody in the embassy prison in the first place lol.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Yeah, you aren't supposed to fight anyone and every encounter there is completely avoidable, even with no stealth.
Abrams even tells you not to attack anyone and you get a better reward that way.

 

[Fenix]

you get a better reward that way.

Whoot?

 

[Fenix]

In previous shotgun run, I manage to do that. I think, I deleted guard along Maura cell first.

But yeah, they even added body bag lmao.

Still, I'm sure as crossbowman I'd churn out so many shockbolts, nobody stand a chance...

Stealthing the prison isnt hard if you can open vents, the first cell is unlocked already so you just wait for the guard to pass and enter there and hop into the vents.

discord is not blocked in Russland, but anyways, nothing shows even with vpn on

It is blocked, and sometimes vpn doesn't work for discord - I guess free ones? paid one should be better

I have been busy with the Deep Caves quests the last 25 hours. Man what an interesting and complex series of quests and regions to explore

I thought the game was close to ending but then the reality dawned on me about the Tchort gate being sealed

I have spoiler comments around the narrative and how things have progressed

Spoiler

My view and support for the Tchort people has changed, I dont like them anymore even though I like some of the scientists and individuals

Tchort is an abomination and needs to be destroyed, I also met Nevil and he told me about all the experiments and weird stuff going on in the Tchort institute

And I never had any real issues with the Faceless and I trust them more than the Tchort people. They never attacked me in the Rail Crossing quest and I saved one of them in Core City and he returned the favour later at the Tchort institute

The Faceless are weird but they can be reasoned with and they respect our agreements

Now Im at the part of the game where I have found all the items to repair the Tchort gate and I just need the repair robot AI and Im about to confront IRIS

So, after putting it off for years, I saw that now they implemented fixes for the stuff that annoyed me the first time around (namely, slowness and backtracking) and decided to give it a try.
Man, am I having a blast, fucking A-tier game.

Love the little details, like Grimpus asking for a sacrificial animal and getting his head blown off when handed a laser cat. Didn’t even think of it as a possibility, it was just what I had in my inventory.

My only point of contention so far are the retarded puzzles/minigames, they’re boring and incoherent with every other aspect of the game’s design.

Is there an expected level I should be at when heading for the Expedition content, or can I tackle it at any time?

Also, way back when I first played it (probably around its demo/EA/first release date), I recalled getting tattoos inside some sort of train wagon encampment. Am I misremembering or mixing it up with another game? Because I checked the wiki, and it says that it’s down to a 50/50 chance of a random character spawning in the sewers, and turns out I got the hippie chick that sells amulets instead.

I guess it depends on your chosen difficulty and your build but generally speaking I'd say 15+ and at the same time, 20+ would be kinda too late not because of it being too easy mind you but rather because of the loot there.

Probably mixing it up unless it was different in that version. At any rate, now it's always (if procced) in the sewers, and not too far from the entrance.

Playing on hard with a stealth sniper, level 21. Honestly, it’s been a while since I got any loot I cared for, is the content itself of the expedition fun? I’ve been rocking the AWF + a plasma or acid gun and wearing the Rathound King’s outfit forever.

Hardest fight so far was Balor, had to cheese like crazy, taking all his minions silently one by one and then placing beartraps all over the place to snipe him.
