I love this game. Even though I'm nearing the end, it's just a ton of fun. Great story and writing. I feel like people are skipping the codex for some reason. I've seen some negative reviews about how there isn't a story. I'd argue that there is a story. I hope we can get another game by these devs in the same world, or some DLC down the road.

it has a major drawback not mentioned in the vid...Once in the suit, your DPS take a MAJOR nose dive :(. Like you, I was super excited when I found it...until I started shooting. Im hoping they buff it later, bc at the end game, swarms begging to out damage you in a significant way. To the point that the extra DEF you get from the mech is almost pointless. Death by 1k beestings become a reality since you cant dodge .

@@spitfire5381 I actually used the mech suit to beat the game. With high Tactical Sense and the tactical recharge module, you can live in it (if fighting enemies near your level). The suit seems to scale in damage with your level (I'd say about half the damage of my upgraded minigun), and the bullets it fires pierce through enemies which makes mowing down big crowds fast. The defense buff is so high that I decided to throw on the leech aug and now I'm immortal as long as the battle I need it on doesn't last a long time. Note: I think it might be as good as it is because of the patch today.

I feel like Aiming would be a good stat to invest in. The spread on that minigun is awful and if you watch the footage he misses almost as many shots as he hits, if not a little more... Boosting Aiming would greatly improve the killing speed of that minigun and would also help that crit stat get off more often.

I just grabbed a bit of gear with some evasion on at the start. it's only like 5 points, but my roll is pretty sick now compared to the base roll. I'm playing as an evasion character, but wanted to start pumping ten points into weapon handling I think, then going for crit. So by having some Ev on gear then I can grab that as my 3rd stat. If i could not have gotten bonus from gear I'd probably do like 4/1/1 or something like that till 20/20/20 (almost like a quality build, only it's like proper dex weeb gameplay, ha ha)

There are several things on this guide that I feel could be modified. Don't use the pocket mech as it does very little damage and you are still taking damage making it one of the worst tactical weapons in the game. Rejuv would be far better at serving as a way to make you more tanky. For augments, lock on is a no brainer if you're using a minigun as it will let you delete even the toughest enemies in seconds. For skills, do not waste your points in balace as the benefit is barely useful, if you need to make a quick movement to close the gap between u and an enemy then you can use dodge to get you there quickly. To be a tank build and not run max in vital signs is complete bonkers in my opinion.

I was so disappointed with the Pocket Mech. It's look and feel is awesome, but the damaged compared to just about anything else was SO sub par. Also, I'd recommend using Lock On with the minigun specifically. There's so much synergy between the two that frankly, using the minigun without is a missed opportunity.

Just so everyone knows: clips and magazines are different. A clip is used to load rounds to a magazine. A magazine is what you actually insert into the weapon. Also most games get the animation of a weapon's order of operation wrong. Most games after you reload while leaving a round in the chamber (tactical reload) you see the character use the charging handle or slide. In real life you don't usually have to as doing so would actually eject the chambered round negating the speed you gained from the tactical reload. Peace to us.
