Yes that's my build for now and it's not bad but quite harder than my others playthrough where i used either fists, smgs, energy and chemical weapons. I can't clear the corretech warehouse in dominating for now for example (lvl 16 on oddity system), never had this issue before.
Dayum, I have even saw Blaine sells shield emitter blueprint before I entered Depot A. Have you seen it on previous versions?
Not sure for Blaine but i had some runs in previous versions where i'd been able to craft a shield before depot A so i don't think it's new.
Thanks for the answer. Try fill every possible passing tile with caltrop, beartrap, create death fog (you know what I mean), cryo fog and fireplace at the gate, like the traditional way dealing Beast's minions on dominating.
Plus question, do you know the minimal PER requirement to discover Bogdan's hideout?
