Took out aimed shot for paranoia, and instead of upping will to 5 im gonna up STR to 7 for full auto on lvl 8.
Took out throwing for traps for cheese.

Im gonna use ARs as soon as possible the rest will be the same as in linked build, but with AR feats, instead of sniper feats.

Im wondering if I can drop 2 PER for will, im not sure if ARs are more forgiving than snipers in terms of accuracy

Has anyone tested if Neural Overload damage is transfered by Psychokinetic Chain?

yes, should be fine.  there are ways to cheese the game with pretty much any build, so long as you don't spread yourself too thin.  Try to pick feats that stack or compliment each other.  Pick your feats first then build your stats around the minimum requirements for those feats.  Try to scale your feats so they are useful at the level your character recieves them, and try to time your stat boosts at 4,8,12 ect to coincide with feat requirements, and put any excess points into your main combat stat (Str, Dex, or Per) to get higher skill values for the weapons you use most.

Thank you very much!

AR's, Shotguns, and Sniper Rifles all use different feats, and so does any kind of psi.  If you're going to get psi you should generally put just enough into Temporal Manipulation to get the Action Point Boost Power because if you don't its like leaving money on the table.

Oh yeah, i will surely get that tm hybrid.

I just really wanted to play; for example ar which i never touched because "its boring and op" and maybe use metathermics instead of grenades which imo will be much more interesting (and climatic) even if it will make the game harder. Im just wondering how much do I have to invest into metathermics to make it viable enough.
Also though control instead of metathermics is as option to me. Anything to not make another gun+55 tm build


Ideally weapon choice would be sniper or shotgun, i think ive seen sniper build (couple years ago) paired with metathermics for thermodynamic destabilization.
But im down to try ars for smoother gameplay if i have to.
Thanks for the answers, i will update when i cook and test

Builds / Never tried a Trapper Build Before

« Last post by ringring on January 13, 2026, 05:11:12 am »

I tried planning my build as best as I could without really knowing how Trapper builds play.  I'm not 100% sure how to use crossbows, they seem really weak.

Stat Boosts
Dex
Dex
Dex
Dex
Con
Will

Psi
Electro-Kinesis
Tele-Kinetic Punch
Psycho-Temporal Contraction

Weapons
X-Bow
Knife w/ Energy Blade or Knife Throwers Glove

Armor
Undecided

Not sure how else I should equip myself, I've never really used leather armor but I thought I might give it a shot.

for lutris just use winetricks for right prefix, you need both dotnet452 and xna40
try wineGE or wine-tkg, proton is just for steam
32bit, 64bit, i don't know, for me it never mattered. launching underrail via steam/proton always worked flawlessly. it could be your old hardware, or maybe you selected wrong driver(maybe mint issue), so u 'now, maybe, maybe, maybe
lutris should be able launch gog games, no problem, underrail included. try again, or switch to heroic launcher

generally if you go traps you should go with crossbows, and use a trapper build, cause they work well with each other and have special feats for that combination.

If you like SMG / Sniper Builds this one is pretty good, I'm pretty proud of it.

Builds / sniper or ar or shotgun / psi (metathermics) suggestions

« Last post by Usiorix on January 12, 2026, 09:09:07 pm »

Hello everybody.
I havent played underrail for a long time (but when i did it was on dom) and im looking for a build to go through the whole game (on dom).

Id love to play a metathermics hybrid. I know it pairs well with hammers, but i already did that.

Is it possible to beat the dom after new patch with AR/sniper/shotgun metathermics + X psi school hybrid?

Honestly i just need a little direction, or even a simple yes or no to start cooking something myself.
