I have to disagree with your opinion on Rally. Using that first turn allows my sniper to take a 2nd shot, which basically means 2 enemies scratched off instantly. Also, it allows 3 of my team to round up their remaining AP for ambushes, which are very effective! I think this game can literally be won or lost in the first turn, so this is great for me! Thanks for the guides man 👌🏻

What was it you sold? {edit} you likely don’t remember or didn’t notice what you sold since you probably hit sell all junk, I didn’t realize this when i typed my comment because I wasn’t totally sure how the perk worked at the time, I thought you could sell anything and it would have that chance of being sold as an antique, and the reason I asked what you sold in the first place was because I thought maybe you sold the expensive toaster parts, which are actually potentially important depending whether you want the toaster companion or not- but yeah, in hindsight I realize that the toaster parts aren’t even junk so the perk probably wouldn’t even apply to them.

Marked Target isn't just for the sniper. It works for the entire group, and early on you won't want to be heavily investing every single point into one skill. Some characters will want to invest in three skills, so it will take a while to get their accuracy up. It's a really great skill on a secondary sniper too. Like a medic/lockpicker who has nothing better to do, and that combination also makes it so they don't have to split their duties with movement all that much like they would with assault rifles. That kind of sniper will usually end up with 8-10 AP, which isn't enough for two shots anyway. On top of that, the 50% extra damage for precision strikes is enormous on bosses. Plus, your secondary sniper can mark, and your primary can blast the crap out of them with Masterful Precision. Also, currently Antiques Appraiser is bugged. You can get unlimited cash with it by selling all of your junk, and then buying it back again and again. Blast Radius should affect ALL grenades too, not just those that deal damage. That means it should work with smoke grenades for a huge group evasion.

Make a well balanced group would be my tip. Barter feeds really well into Mechanics because then you just buy all your damage basically, turrets are pretty strong and are crazy when you perk into them. If your group is very combat heavy, you'll find yourself having to bruce force through a lot of situations when instead you could have just hacked a computer, if you're into that.

17:17 hard disagree on rally not being a GOAT skill. Upping a charisma character leader with this gives a big range bonus so can still affect multiple teammates beyond turn 1. The extra AP doesn't let most attack again, but it does let you reposition or convert extra AP into higher evasion. My melee fighter with high evasion from speed + the 5% from Mopey Poet perk is at 30% from level 1! The extra AP from leadership means I usually end most turns with 4 extra AP (giving me 70% evade!). I send this melee fighter forward to "tank" a ton of hits while the team pops off (also gave them medical marvel for the bigger health pool)

I've had to restart about 20 times trying to figure out what was needed before I even got done with Colorado Springs.
@resevil2396 3 жыл бұрын
I feel like weird science and that middle perk is almost mandatory late game for every character. Useless early but good damage boost late game. I think the biggest issue I've had in my play through is that many characters just don't have enough perks that I'll actually use, so I end up having at least a perk point or two set aside and I'm around level 18. Also I saw on the wiki that there is a plasma unarmed weapon, so there is almost no reason your characters shouldn't at least have a backup plasma weapon by mid game. Maybe I just got lucky but I kept finding energy weapons so strong with my builds they did more damage even WITH the 30% damage loss against humans.
@resevil2396 3 жыл бұрын
I don't see how terrorizer is particularly situational since it's a passive. My flamethrower rarely does enough damage to kill, especially by mid game. But with the wide arc it will hit a lot of enemies. With good positioning pre-fight its extremely useful for an immediate followup after my sniper takes the opening shot. Imo a huge part of combat success in this game is taking advantage of lines of sight and positioning everyone individually prior to starting combat. It's what I prefer over the xcom style where careful strategy is ruined by enemies getting to reposition when you can't.

Conductive beams description reads: "and anyone standing within 2 squares" which to me implies even friendlies. On Xbox One even with the current patch, my brawling precision strike still damages my own party if near enough, on EASY. Maybe it's different on computer, but I wouldn't take conductive beams just for the chance it doesn't work the way the easy mode says it should. If the wording was specifically "any enemy" I would agree it's a decent perk, but I'm also not fond of crit chance reliance, or RNG mechanics. I would like to see how you'd build a brawler. (I may not like crit chance reliance but I still wouldn't take the quirk that gives + 15% melee damage boost for the draw back. It's more the idea crits are great... when they happen, that I don't like)

Toaster repair is less useful in this game since toaster reward is not that impressive. Only a specific build that need it: Pyrogunner frontline build (Disciple of metal / Pyromaniac / Coor/ STR / Speed) Big gun with toaster repair and weird science. Get toaster repair up to lv7 for heating element (25% fire dmg) and that's it. The hardest toaster require lv8, which you can boost by using the toaster repair badge found in Ranger HQ toaster. Also there is a vendor that sell toaster repair book to boost it to 9 if you want. Weird science for speech checks and it also boost Fire, ice, energy dmg. Overcharge also work well with this build since you have tons of armor and health and wouldnt worry about your weapon exploding at your face. For weapon use flame thrower to melt humans mutants and animals, heavy energy MG/meson cannon/fusion launcher to melt robots, turrets, synth. If you stop at Big gun at lv7 or even lv5 (best flamethrower require lv5, icethrower lv6 if Im not mistaking), you can even squeeze in Explosives skill to make it a one-man demolition crew :D

Well explosive is good, having each squad member carry rocket launcher is one easy way to cheese the game especially mortar perk, why use gopher hunter if you could utterly destroy the cover and light things up, it usually only need 4 rocket to win an encounter even boss fight, but I guess depend on your weapon, I even equip scotchmo with rocket launcher his drunk fu increase damage with just snake sqeezin with sabot rocket he could deal easy 1500 damage with critical and it is AOE.

Hope this comments helps. Your content is always great anyway.

Well for one the 5 armor only applies to mechanical units which more often then not are temporary. So you spend a perk point to buff a single unit which you know will disappear eventually and you have to repair it first which cost more AP. The second perk on the other hand is a permanent buff to the _entire_ squad. While 5 armor isn’t too much, the fact that everybody in the squad practically gets a fourth piece of armor for free is very useful, especially on higher diffs when enemies can reliably kill your team in one or two attacks later on in the game

Depends on how you value precision strikes. For me even missing 2 out of 3 times to get it is way worth for high hp targets, with either high damages ( headshots, flamthrower tanks, bleeds) or control (cpu, arms, legs). With pistols you need a good mobility, so you get 95% base most of the time, 45% isn't that bad because with the 3 free ap you get precision strike+normal attack instead of 2normals even if you miss once. Yes, you'll have less damage per turn if you miss, but overall, on targets that get multiple turns to get down, I think you win everytime so it's not really gambling.
@janograhf 3 жыл бұрын
@@maxkking I get what you are trying to say and I agree that trick shot is good but I think you're missing the point of why the skill is a gamble. Just as you said, out of 4 shots, you'll miss 2-3.

Assault Rifles kinda suck só Assault Rifle perks also kinds suck. Shrug it Off is absolutely awful because 2 armor is very very little to begin with. Suppressing Fire is actually kind nice because it only has a 5 AP cost so it gives your heavy gunner something to do when it’s relocating. Terrorizer is great because it’s a passive and not an AP cost skill. You don’t “use” it. Pressure Cooker sucks because enemy vehicles are super super rare. Extreme Combo is really good but only after you have Flurry of Blows. So more late game. At high enough accuracy, Trick Shot can have a 70% hit chance. It’s a useful late game perk. Mark Target is great early game when your characters have low accuracy. Snipers can rarely fire twice a turn, so generally you fire once and have all this extra AP laying about, spending 2 to help accuracy of your allies and damage of Strikes is great. Antiques Appraiser is a good skill if it works normally and it’s absolutely busted as it works right now. You can make infinite money by saving 1,000-2,000 Scrap and just selling, buying and reselling them.
