Found out that a Crassus Detonator will eat it against Doretta at the cost of an entire segment of armor, but the ensuing explosion happened next to the Heartstone. To my dismay, that platform is 100% unbreakable and unable to be changed into lots of gold. At least I found a data cell and knocked out two season missions to get like 7k and level up twice. I'm almost done with the pass now.

Is that a spent flare he loads into the crossbow at the end? It looks different from the bolts he was firing.

What is the "Acquire Lock Threshold" macro lens affects? Is 0.2x it good or bad?

Lose Lock Threshold is how much you can turn away from a locked target and still stay locked. A lower threshold means you can't curve your shots quite as much.

There are times where you can just about shoot behind yourself. And reliably at 90*s.

Hwurmp posted:Lose Lock Threshold is how much you can turn away from a locked target and still stay locked. A lower threshold means you can't curve your shots quite as much. So is the Acquire Threshold the window in which it will target things? Does this make it a smaller window?

Oh, I didn't even know that was a karl.gg thing  There's no Acquire Lock Threshold stat displayed in-game but yes, Macro Lens gives you a smaller lock-on box. This can be a benefit as much as a drawback, helping you focus your locks on a single target.

As far as I can tell, Macro Lens seems to ONLY affect the Acquire Lock Threshold, not the Lose Lock Threshold. My locks only happen close to the crosshairs, but I'm still able to hold the locks once I have them and curve bullets just fine. It's win/win for Chemical Rounds builds

is the LOK worth using without any overclocks at all? i just realized i've never even given it a spin because i don't have any overclocks for it

Absolutely, it's perfectly functional with just the 5 tiers of mods. It might be a touch ammo hungry, but that just means you know you've having fun with it.

Your instincts were right imo, I think it's one of those weapons that really needs its good overclocks to reach that sweet spot of both actually fun and actually useful. But that's just, like, my opinion man.

LOK-1 is still good without overclocks but you should probably stick with extra ammo in the first tier, and make sure your secondary is useful for swarm clearing.

I had a lot of fun with it even before I got any overclocks (and the actually good OCs were basically the last ones I got). Its flow of locking on to enemies and then curving your bullet arcs to hit weak spots is really unique, not just in this game but practically across all shooter games.

Cowcaster posted:well i think the only solution here is for serephina and unsinkabear to fight to the death We did that already, no reruns. We're cool now.  Also it seems like I'm wildly outvoted, so you can probably write this one off to me being bad at vidyagames and needing that min/max power crutch to make the fancy footwork gun work for me. Curving bullets mid-swarm is trickier than just clicking butts and faces with the Warthog. I guess it was never bad, I just couldn't make it work anywhere near as well as my MPA shotgun (which is admittedly a wildly unfair bar to compare a new gun against). I wanted to like it, I just couldn't make it click until I got that explosive effect. I actually got Executioner pretty early, but even that didn't do much for me. Maybe I just didn't give it enough time or practice? Hwurmp posted:and make sure your secondary is useful for swarm clearing. This was probably also part of it. I've been ride or die for Hyper Prop for too long, and to use regular LOK I had to run around with either the breach cutter or Clean Sweep grenade launcher, meaning I was using two unfamiliar weapons.

Mined an absurd amount of nitra onto the ground in a refining mission only for a swarm to come in. When I remembered to go back to pick it up there was a loot bug party and all the nitra was gone. Sorry loot bugs for what I had to do but you gave us four supply drops so you won't be soon forgotten.

When you call for Molly while downed she should pick you up and carry you to another dwarf. Or plop her fat rear end on top of you, 50/50.

So leveled up Engineer has gone from C to A rank and has become my go to character. Lok rifle and breach cutter with 2 fast turrets. Think I might try my first Elite Deep Dive today. Starting Engi is still the worst

My friend and partner both said the same thing and idgi, I always liked engi. It's been a hot minute since I was starting any of them, but I definitely remember thinking starting driller was the worst. The flamethrower sucks without upgrades and the Subtata is even worse. Also gunner without Dash is suffering

i hadn't played around with the rocket launcher much since the fire nerf, and i wanted to give the minelayer overclock a spin since i had just picked it up when i last played, and is there some interaction there that causes it to burn things pretty well? i was having a decent time still setting things on fire with it so long as i shot the ground instead of things directly but i'm also not 100% certain if maybe fire was coming from the other gunner that i was playing with

It's surely the worst secondary by miles unless I'm ignoring some fantastically potent overclock for it (which maybe I am to be fair, I was so put off by it that I've hardly used it since) Explosive Reload and Tranquilizer Rounds are both good

i will defend the subata to the death it's weak early on but slap some mods on it and it's one of the best and most reliable weapons in the game apply full auto and suddenly it's fun on top of being good

i like the subata, its not flashy or exciting but its perfectly servicable as a sidearm when you're trying to conserve primary ammo or waiting for born ready to do its thing

I hate gunners that insist on hanging on wires so much. You're not being nearly as useful as you could be, proactively deploying shields and helping spread glyphid attention. You're also not invincible.

Chillin in haz 4 as usual when my team falls into a cavern with a korlok weed, a prospector, and cave leeches. I tried drilling around to save them but they just kept trying to fight instead of regrouping. We hadn't even smacked one nitra deposit!
