Opinionated Ham Scarecrow Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 46 floors and two bosses down on my first run up the tower. Shit gets mental. Good to be back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to allow people into your game. If you want a hand i'm sure people from here would give you a hand. I'm happy to help people from here who need it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floshenbarnical Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I wonder how the coop works anyway. Do you share the loot pool or are they instanced separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p1nseeker Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Apart from obolites seem to be individual, also those free fabricators were giving each of us an artifact, though they tended to be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylian Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Best I can do is 4 million. Doing well on phases 1 and 2, getting up to about at 25x multiplier, then all goes to shit in phase 3. Adrenaline affects the multiplier a lot. Below 2 and it seems to increase multiplier by small amounts like +0.01 but at adrenaline 5 it's more like +0.1. As always, don't get hit.

SpagMasterSwift Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 The DLC is great, I’d forgotten how fast this game is. Didn’t make it very far but I’m sure I’ll be knocking the rust off soon enough. I can’t believe they’ve given this away for free tbh. I take it the trick is to get to the exit point as quickly as possible once you’ve cleared the room to stop the multiplier from falling? You then get caught in the dilemma of collecting items Vs losing multiplier- and the mad scramble to locate the exit. It’s genius stuff as it keeps the pace at a heart pounding rate. I got a permanent malfunction that reduced my weapons damage by 75% when stationary which made things even more hectic and I scored much better for it. Loving the little secrets they’ve thrown in too. Only had two runs so far, but it’s so good to be back in this world again. Spoiler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p1nseeker Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 6.8m run earlier, when you get in a rhythm with this game there's nothing like it, already figuring out things that help your run. Like what are those bright white enemies that look like the yellow ones in the main game that don't attack but award obolites. They really help 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floshenbarnical Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 First go 3rd boss really kicked my ass and then I got stuck in a room with three million shielded crawlers spitting fireballs at me and the permanent +2s melee recharge penalty finished me off thoughts: fucken sick. Dreadbound is still the GOAT. Permanent malfunctions can do one. Infinite violence - what more could we Scouts ask for?? this is a great mode for noobs to git gud without getting upset at “losing progress” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floshenbarnical Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 My 2nd and 3rd runs went to shit - got too stoned. Fell right out of The Zone. Got to put some serious thought into builds for this. It seems every other room offers you some sort of agonizing dilemma between a couple of different artifacts or parasites. The only thing you can be sure you’ll need is Fractal Nail Question: does nullification sphere work on permanent malfunctions? I fell off a ledge to my death before I could use it /sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom limb is pretty good too (10% chance to repair each kill) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylian Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 7.5 million top score now. Got into phase 5 and enemies were getting quite bullet spongey. Boss of phase 4 was not fucking about 😮 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p1nseeker Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 If like me you're wondering what's the point of a scout rank (you level this up in coop when you're not the host). I always host when I play with my mate, he's just got scout rank 10 and now has the option to press square to reroll the traits on weapons he's about to pick up in coop. So well worth levelling up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p1nseeker Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I've had it mid thirties yeah. The elite players on Reddit talk about mid air melee attacks as the best way to get your multiplier up quick, I'm not skilled enough to do that constantly without taking damage so I concentrate on get my adrenaline to max and keeping it there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on Reddit posted a 45million point screenshot so now I’m going to throw my disc onto a fire air melee is goat especially in the early stages and against those fucking bats. In later stages I find the only way to avoid taking damage is to fire a few shots and then immediately grapple to the other side of the arena to create space and avoid UNDODGEABLE PURPLE LASERS this game has a sick sense of humor also. After many experiences entering the Orb of Mystery after killing a white thing, last night I entered the Room of Treats only for a shielded elite death machine to spawn as a “fuck you.” Jokes on him though, I killed him without a scratch. Scratches came later. Evidently shield vials are way more important than health packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylian Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 My top score got me into 5. Boss of 4 was ridiculous though. I'm definitely starting to get a handle on phases 1 and 2 now though. I can do boss 1 quite consistently without taking damage and boss 2 isn't much issue. One thing that seems to be working is never paying for integrity upgrades. Just rely on resin to get integrity up and use obilites elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I save my money for Damage, and carry shield vials to keep me alive. Wasn’t enough. Boss 1 can be defeated with just two Superweapons, before he really has a chance to hit you with anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually have about 5 or so stacked by then. Then I go a bit scarface 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
