Is there any way to see where particular field resources can be found?

I wish the game had some sort of "this resource is used for the following:" description.

That is one thing that most MH type games do poorly compared to real Monster Hunter, creating a memorable link between the materials you collect and the equipment you can craft from it. Tigrex parts are obviously needed to make Tigrex armour, but here what's the connection between an SMG and processed graphite-(low quality)?

Holy crap gently caress mission 8-1, finished it with 20 seconds left on the clock. I shouted "Oh god no!" when the electric-resistant biped went down in the crossfire and I got a message notifying me that reinforcements were arriving and another electric one showed up to try and ruin my day.

Penis Vanguard posted:What are the "CODE x Sinner Log" entitlements that become available post-game? They sound like extra plot booklets or something but that seems kind of a hefty price for the points they cost. I gotta save up for that Percy hat, man. They allow you to rewatch cutscenes via the audiovisual library.

Yeah, it feels like a crapshoot trying to go back and farm materials. I mean, I can look at the list of ranking items but if I'm out of common stuff, I have to make leaps of faith.

In particular I currently need a ton of Synthetic Generator: All-Purpose Mk2 but I'm not sure how to get them. I looked around a bit and it seems I need to kill All-Purpose Abductors Mk2 so I've been doing mission 4-3, 4-6 and 4-7 but so far I haven't seen any synthetic generators drop. Am I doing something wrong or is there maybe a better way? This is especially frustrating because I'm feeling I need some more firepower to advance in the story (currently at the Cell garden solo mission during code 6).

those random part name things seem to mostly come from abductor parts you blow apart and pick up so make sure you're taking them apart as much as possible before they die

I just really want to build up a couple cool guns and see if they're any good. I'm also code six, coincidentally. Now that I'm seeing all the neat energy weapons, I want to play around with them.

Awesome! posted:those random part name things seem to mostly come from abductor parts you blow apart and pick up so make sure you're taking them apart as much as possible before they die What weapons are you using? I'm currently wielding an upgraded Barbara Easy Blaster P and an EZ Schwarzfalke II but I'm thinking of trying out some of the heavier weapons. Are they any better at breaking parts?

Improbable Lobster posted:You can't do a sever with heavy weapons but you can buy a Flare Knife from Zakka and use that to sever instead. My current sword is actually quite good at severing but I'm not sure it's always the best approach. Severing some of the more difficult parts seems to take forever and while you're doing it, you're pretty much a sitting duck when fighting more than one enemy at once. Additionally I find that the camera doesn't do so well in close quarters, which makes it even harder to dodge attacks. So I'd like to know if the heavier/ranged weapons are better at breaking parts, which would allow me to up my survivability.

From what I hear the flare knife isn't as good as a dedicated part severing weapon. Don't forget that you can also destroy parts with weapons fire, though it's harder to tell exactly how much you need.

Apparently the Japanese swear by the shotgun (Barbara's Easy Blaster), and after messing around with a somewhat upgraded Rarity 4 one I can definitely see its terrifying potential. Like I saw a video of a guy with a souped up one plus augments killing the final boss in 49 seconds the other day and my jaw kinda dropped.

I'd say stick with the Barbara for ranged because that thing blows parts off really quickly and is super good. I use the Damascus (upgraded to Azoth) for when I'm actually attempting to cut off parts by hopping on the abductors, and while it's often a pain in the rear end to do it with multiple enemies in an area, I can't really imagine using a heavy weapon being any easier.

Only problems are the low amount of ammo you can carry and of course that to upgrade it I currently need, you guessed it, 2 Synthetic Generators Mk2  .

Penis Vanguard posted:From info I found on gamefaqs That's good stuff to know. I wonder if the mura mk 12 is still that slow; I might have to switch it up. I pretty much only use the thing to sever or if I'm really hosed and can't get away. Edit: I tried the Barbara and it's really strong but I don't like the way it "fakes" being a shotgun by spraying a five clip round all at once. That seems like a really weird decision when they could have just put in a proper hitscan cone. The Muffinlord fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Nov 4, 2014 |

Ahaha just tried a Code 8 mission.  3 gently caress off abductors. Kill them 3 more super powerful ones show up. Kill one of those and a 4th shows up. so a total of 7 in 45 minutes. It. It did not go well.

If you haven't tried severing the turret on top of the artillery abductors when it does the spinning attack then I suggest you do that now.

Teslavi posted:The trick to that mission is it only requires you to kill the heat-resistant and cold-resistant abductors. Killing the electric one is optional, and doing so will spawn in replacement electric ones. It's also infuriating trying to do that mission solo because the electric one loves to grapple your accessory and shove it into its chest. Abductors love your accessory in general. I was doing some mission with two Ramosas and my accessory would get caught in ones mouth, be dragged to the other side of the map, die. I'd revive it and it would happen immediately again 3 times in a row before the Ramosa finally put her in it's pod and I just said "gently caress it" and gave up on her.

Have we got a list of which weapon is best at what besides Barbara's being the gun of choice. I just want to make the best short little pop off parts sword I can.  I'm sure it is probably somewhere on Gamefaqs if I could wade through that cesspool.

Not sure if it's the best or whatever though, I frequently see topics on the Damascus on gamefaqs though. Speaking of weapons, has anyone tried out the health leech weapons? Is the health regen good enough to justify the much lower attack power?

gently caress that code 7 exam. It only took two tries but it was the single most unpleasant time I've had in the game so far. A gaggle of stunlocking adds that she runs around reviving if you go down. If there's an evil ending to this game I'm picking it now (I know there isn't)

I lucked out on CODE 7 insanely hard when the bullshit part happened, I tried escaping through the narrow central corridor and the whole gang of enemies followed me inside so I turned around and lit them all up, killing them all in seconds.

Does severing parts deal damage or reduce the Abductor's lifebar? I still do it even if I don't have to because it's just insanely fun.

Sever everything you can get away with even if it doesn't result in a huge drop in health because every weapon you sever off is one less that's going to ignore every loving mook in the stage but you and your accessory.
