  • Tried the JAR as with most things it slaps but it does lack the handling and capacity to deal with the swarming zombies easily. The grenade launcher was surprisingly effective against everything up to the tripods.

    The adjudicator seemed to work well for my buddy.

    I’m wondering how well the arc thrower would work. The auto aim and stun would be really handy against the jetpack dudes. Gonna try that next.






  • The scythe the continuous fire laser is pretty bad, it got a buff recently which makes it barely useable. The sickle the assault rifle laser is pretty good and quite satisfying to use.

    The dagger got buffed in the big patch and works pretty well now rather than tickling everything.

    The other energy weapons worth using is the blitzer shotgun but only on the bugs and the plasma shotgun which has so much stagger it’s good for both.


  • I like the jar cuz it hits like a truck and has decent ammo. The scorcher fills a similar niche in that it kills all the same targets in similar times, it just doesn’t have as much ammo per mag.

    I second the crossbow, beautiful gun in terms of performance. I just find it a little underwhelming to actually use, it doesn’t have the visceral satisfaction of the other guns, it’s lacking the bang and immediate feedback I think. Great effect on target though and can kill fabricators which is super handy.

    The diligence counter sniper is a good head popper if you can manage the accuracy needed to be effective with it.

    I always enjoyed the slugger for the stopping power and stagger. Doesn’t do the walkers very well though compared to the others.

    If you have the dagger try it against the bots, I really appreciate it for being able to shoot berserkers whilst running away and being able to pop mines without wasting ammo. It’s surprisingly useful to have an infinite ammo secondary against the bots.





  • Sounds like you’re still working through depression to me. Be kind to yourself, give yourself time to heal and work through things, I’m glad you’ve found a therapist that’s a great step. Do you think you want to go back to the industry or could you be avoiding it subconsciously? Something that has helped me a lot is journaling, you can wipe down your goals and break them down into smaller goals if needed.



  • Pretty sure the Devs have said it’s a bit too easy now, remember the first game had 15 difficult settings. Personally I think it’s a great step in the right direction to make more of the loadouts viable and make the game more fun, it’s a power fantasy after all. It will mean that maybe some groups need to go up a difficult level or two and if you’re already storming through on 10 you can try the less optimal builds out while your waiting for the next difficulty levels to come out.




  • I think that’s maybe a bit harsh compared to a lot of the games mentioned here. Witcher 1 definitely has a lot of problems compared to 2 and 3 but it had a lot going for it as well. Sure the combat was broken as hell once you got all the spinning moves and it was super sexist with the women as trading cards thing. But the story and world building were still fun and Geralt was well characterised. It’s not a great game but it did well enough to get them the sequels. Definitely nowhere near the worst game I’ve played.
