Builds / Re: First time/blind chem pistol playthrough

« on: September 17, 2021, 08:41:25 am »

hey and yeah, I only did that because I have no clue what the rest of the game's feats are, since I haven't played it and didn't want to spoil too much. But, are the skills I'm focusing on LVL1 relevant to the kind of chem pistol build I want to go with? A lot of the completed LVL30 builds that I see don't personally help me too much because they don't show the order you level up the skills, and instead just show what the end result of the build is.

Hi, okay, without spoiling i can say that you might also want to invest in throwing for throwing grenades (which you'll be able to craft with your high chemistry), stealth and probably 70 points in temporal manipulation unless for some reason you don't want to.

You don't need to max every skills so you'll have enough points by the end.

hi, hard to tell because you posted a lvl 1 build.

4 con isn't really useful, drop it to 3 and go for 10 dexterity because dexterity reduces the AP use for pistols

Problem I find with low APM (attacks per minute) weapons and low weapon skill - you can't afford to miss. Building sniper (which is low APM) or Crossbow (mid-APM with Quiver and Cyclon) is that Ambush(ing) then becomes essential on Dominating. Even at 95% you still miss and get irritated. At 60% you will be swearing non-stop. So less of that = more playing and more fun 😆😁

Assault Rifles can also get away with low PER somewhat - at least AOE doesn't suffer. 11PER is really doable. But:
a) AR's are already fine with 3CON and no Dodge/Evasion.
b) All this extra mobility is rather pointless on such a long reach weapon.
c) Who want's to play AR when looking for something different? 😁

Also Sniper's Killing Spree RELIES on you not missing and shots being kill-shots. Otherwise it is a complete waste. So a as high a skill as possible what is needed. Imo.

You're right but not all ennemies have high evasion stat even in dominating, and there are many ways to reduce (ambush, leading shot, pistols) or negate (stun, immobilization, off-balance...) evasion, so high perception is good but not necessary. Also if you have high mobility you are more likely to survive even after missing a shot. Not saying it's optimal but it's playable

General / Re: Where is a new, BIG update?

« on: September 16, 2021, 02:19:38 pm »

It usually takes between 4-6 months between updates, so I’d expect to see this update by Christmas at the earliest. I’d guess that this might be one of the larger updates, so it might not even come out in 2021. I’d be thankful that we get new content at all, since the developers are under no obligation to release so many free content updates that are more than just bug fixes and minor tweaks.

Indeed, i never expected so much new and GOOD content for the game when i bought it many years ago, i admire Stygian Software for such dedication and quality of work.

What should I take instead of the Psi skills by the way?

Multiple choices here :
- chemistry could be good if you want to craft higher tier nades and mines (but now that there are "plasma mines" and "plasma grenades" it's not necessary) and use higher tier acid ;
- biology could let you use more poisons and craft more drugs like bullhead (80) ;
- more tailoring for crafting armor and make use of infused leather : i would probably pick this one ;
- persuasion or more mercantile for passing some skill checks
- evasion for ranged and explosion defense (requires a lot of points to be effective though...)

You can check the wiki for crafting skill requirements 

None of these are required so pick what you want.

I mostly use low frequency, it's not only useful in expedition.

Crafting an early low frequency shield will make burrower and mutant fights much easier.

I think medium is simply for people who want something decent all around and don't bother to switch gear, which is fine in my opinion.

Hi,

You can play this build from Rewratt here without psi points if you want : https://underrail.info/build/?HgMHBwMQAwcAS8KgAB4Awoo8NUBLZGQkNCgAAABGAABKfzkiMALCgE7Co2pLTC8nJsK1YeKjsALio7ED4qe-Ct-_  , it will still be good

Int 7 for mad chemist.

Per can be low if you use versatility and max melee. Without versatility i'd say maybe 7 or 8 per minimum, it's up to you, look  for chem pistol builds on the forum if you want to follow a precise build.

Damage scales with guns.

Chemistry only helps for crafting more powerful chemical pistols.

Chemical pistols are "pistols" but are not firearms, so be careful that some feats which only work with "firearms" pistols like rapid fire won't work with chemical pistols (it's always specified in the descritption of the feat).

Cooked shot is the most important feat for chem pistol build.

Mad chemist is important if you intend to craft your pistols (which you should probably unless you plan on using only a specific pistol).

You won't be able to achieve super high "critical damage" stat with chemical pistol (their base critical damage is 100% so "critical power" is not really useful unless you also have sharpshooter but it's very situational), but getting higher critical chance with feats and gear will get you a significant damage boot.

Fire is super effective against a lot of targets (that is those who are note immune to burning), it causes fear.

Hi mate,

Good thing you're enjoying the game, feel free to ask any question

One little tip : setting ennemies on fire with some weapons like molotvs gives them the "fear effect" (they'll run like crazy but won't attack you).

Never played with force emission myself but here is our friend Sheepherder : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDR43ASOrVU&t=350s

I'm planning to try a 10 will fist weapon dude with psychokinesis and TC some day, don't know if it will be good but could be worth the try.

Look at the combat log - everything I said pretty much happened in the video. He was playing a bare fist unarmed build meaning the lowest possible melee damage and even so you can see force emission damage is an order of magnitude lower.

It's not huge but it does'nt seem useless to me at all
