night slime posted:Been messing around with the bell and noticed it seems to be a double-or-nothing effect. Places with BTs are empty occasionally for about ten minutes without me having done anything in the area, which I've never seen before, or they seem to have a giant BT boss there after you get captured. If you really hate that effect that plays it might be worth a shot. "BT boss when you get captured" is normal gameplay, only NPCs get insta-voided by the normal BTs

I can't really tell if it's a different type of boss but it definitely seems bigger and takes more hits. Could be in my head I guess.

Thinking back, I have a question about some late game BT's up on the mountain. There was a couple of 'stronger' BT's up on the mountain that, as far as I can remember, kinda did a warp or a phase out thing when I shot them with the anti-BT gun. The effects were reddish/yellowish/orange/golden?? in colour when I shot it. Was that BT anything? A stronger enemy? Was I just using a regular gun and didn't notice? Something special about the mountain? I never really saw a payoff on that, and never had to deal with it once my zip-lines let me just blow past that area.

Just stronger, they still die in 1 shot with the handcuff, I don't know if any amount of regular weapons can kill them otherwise from what I hear they can show up in other situations if you've hosed up and caused a voidout in an area but iirc that's the only place that specific type spawns normally

Ursine Catastrophe posted:"BT boss when you get captured" is normal gameplay, only NPCs get insta-voided by the normal BTs Fun fact: BT bosses are chiral crystal piñatas. Don’t fear them I used to avoid mule camps and BTs whenever possible. I do have an infant in a just after all. Now I stopped being a coward and bust them up all day and it’s pretty easy since the game (sometimes literally) throws gear at you all the time. skooma512 fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Jan 8, 2020 |

Once I discovered that you could use assault rifles to murder BTs after tagging them with a blood grenade I started killing every large BT I encounter.

About 4 grenade launcher shots, followed up by a burst of Chiral Bullets, is the fastest I ever killed one of the squid BTs.

I must say this game is legit helping me process my work closing. We're a really old hospital and lots of people here are OGs who worked here their entire careers, sometimes even also attending the nursing school or being born here. Everybody is helping each other out and supporting each other and I can't help but think of Death Stranding's themes. I wish I could put signs in the hallway. I've settled for whiteboards. Is it a coincidence the new member icon in Facebook group looks like a chiral crystal?

Open question: Does anybody recall any spots where it's cold but there isn't any snow around? I'm testing various conditions/items and how they affect stamina and endurance and I need a long flat area where it's cold but not snowy so Sam walks normally.

Wearing thermal pads all the time has led me to believe that snow = cold one to one. However desire paths flatten snow out so that Sam doesn’t sink in it. I’d try between the mountaineer and the survivalist. You might be able to find one between the evodevo and heartman’s that would be longer? e: I guess I’m assuming that desire paths don’t have a stamina bonus attached to them.

Heartman's postgame email was really strange to me. In the last 21 minute window I met a woman, fell in love, and won't be searching for my family anymore.

Yeah I don’t understand how the ending changed anything for him. His original point of everyone having a different afterlife and wanting to pass on with his family wasn’t disproved or anything.

imo he probably just realized that in dedicating so much of his attention to searching the beach, he's wasting whatever actual real life he has left.

Mid-email in the "what became of heartman" it looks like he changes his mind. Makes no sense. Botched/weird translation I'm assuming.

They're all like that, just a very weirdly phrased/translated series of logs.

So how much backtracking does this game allow, as in, should I steam on ahead when it moves me to a new area? Or hang back and keep doing deliveries?

You can come back to everything later. Keep in mind new chapters give you more tools that makes deliveries easier and faster so dont spend too much time in one place.

My brain has unlocked a new dumb MGS5-rear end technique for defeating MULEs. Stick a bunch of remote electric bombs on the back of a truck, put some cargo in it and hop in. Drive it to your local MULE camp and hop out, maybe taunt them to call them over. One guy will come over and jack the truck and drive it back to their buddies. They'll all swarm around it and start yanking cargo out to take it to the postbox. This of course is when you activate the bombs.

Found out that MULEs run for cover in the rain and stand under their tents till it dissipates. You can exploit this by bringing along a few decoy cargo boxes. Just chuck them into a tent and the smoke cloud will knock out whole clumps of MULEs at a time. OR you can do it the goofy sub-optimal way and stick a bunch of remote bombs on a motorcycle, max speed boost toward the tent, and dive off.
