It's neat, but I'm never much bothered to go out of my way to re-unlock it after each update. Even before its nerf, it wasn't significantly better or more fun than everyone else. It isn't one of my favorites but I like to do runs with it when I have it, which is more than I can say about some of the cast. e: vv Yes, but also killing it is a pain for a scrub baby player like me.

Thing is, killing horror nets you quite a bit more rads than you would get from opening 2 rad containers. It's can be worthwhile to do even if you don't care about the unlock.

My only main issue is how easy you could accidentally pop open the containers. Like, whether it's corpses, scorpion shots, end-of-level portals... you get the idea.

Speaking of horror... http://i.imgur.com/DLi9SpR.png That's Horror in a crown vault. Obviously I forgot to pick up the rad-tank in 3-1 and then went inside before I could get the one in 3-2. The little green fucker barreled down that corridor so fast it scared the poo poo out of me. I guess the game took pity on me though because my next run I successfully looped for the second time (Robot with Minigun/Heavy Autocrossbow) and got as far as 1-3 before twitchy nervousness sent me straight into a Big Bandit.

If anyone has missed this: http://www.twitch.tv/smitetv Big Nuclear Throne race tournament is entering the 3rd set of groups on Smite's channel at 4pm est. Each runner has a set amount of time to beat the first form of the throne on 3 separate pre-chosen characters. The top X% of combined run times goes on to the next round, where there will be 3 new characters etc. They've already put up some ridiculous times.

That's all true, I guess, but Horror doesn't have an on-demand airhorn button.

Few question I've been meaning to ask since I suck SO, is there any redeeming value to the Slugger? Why's Plutonium Hunger useful? What are you acutally supposed to do to kill Lil Hunter? I can't clear out an area big enough to fight him in fast enough. I know 'strafe' but generally while I'm doing that something else kills me.

Slugger's pretty powerful single target damage, and can bounce off walls. Does more damage up close, and works well with trigger fingers or stress. Plutonium hunger makes it so that you don't have to extend yourself into dangerous situations to get the health or ammo you need. For Lil Hunter, use cover. Pop out, peg him, then pop back in. Also peg him when he lands from his rocket jumps. Also kill the IDPD spawns as quickly as you can so you don't have to deal with their quick rear end bullets too.

Neopie posted:SO, is there any redeeming value to the Slugger? Don't run out into groups with the slugger/crossbow, kill one enemy at a time from the edge of your range. Only run in when they're all dead, it doesn't actually matter much if you miss some rads. Neopie posted:Why's Plutonium Hunger useful?

Neopie posted:Few question I've been meaning to ask since I suck 1) It has the full power of a shotgun blast in a single pellet, which can oneshot medium-sized enemies all the way up to Frozen City and is a shitload more accurate. 2) It's really useful later on when you need to pickup ammo or health as fast as possible but getting close enough to walk over them is super-risky. 3) Whooooo the gently caress knows. Level placement with this guy is a fuckin' bitch. Generally I try to avoid wide-open areas and try to zone him in smaller ones where I can get a clear shot when he lands then immediately scoot off around a corner to avoid his insane fire. He is a fucker.

IronicDongz posted:It was though. Rad beam is(was?) basically the best defensive option in the game vs. projectiles and it's a free pass for lil hunter, ballguy mama... basically any boss, even moreso than plant. And on top of all that you have a better chance of getting the build you want for postgame. Not only that, but one of its ults is pretty much Re-Spec: The Game. As in, you lose all of your current ones, can choose from four different ones, and I think Patience- which is always there- just rerolls the other four indefinitely. Going off of the wiki for that bit of info. Someone should sell me on Stalker, however. It just sounds like you'll never get to use your beam at all.

Stalker feels like it does way too little damage to pay off. Anomaly however is hilarious and frequently leads to situations where the cops come in and then instantly drop dead because the portal is already there. It instakills the cops in 0-1 and the crown guardians.

It instakills the cops in 0-1 and the crown guardians. If Stalker feels like it does too little damage, you should keep in mind that the amount of shots released depends on the amount of rads the enemy drops-which means if you put a lot of rads into them with your beam, they do a lot more damage. Either way if you have a good build(which you probably do since you're horror) it's easily the best ultra-more damage for free is super, super good, passing that up for a mutations reroll is only worth it if you really need to reroll your mutations. It's either stalker or anomaly for me, usually stalker.

IronicDongz posted:Stalker loving rules, idk what you mean by "It just sounds like you'll never get to use your beam at all". It doesn't consume any more rads, when enemies die they shoot out radbeams for free, aka they don't hurt you and they destroy projectiles, for free. Really useful for clearing crowds of bullet enemies. It's not that I think it consumes more rads, but rather, I assumed it meant "you never get your rads back because all rad-producing stuff becomes more projectiles instead of rads". Which... might sound better since I don't have to pump a lot to get some form of help out of it.

I found both new bullet weapons in the same level. They don't seem that good really because the projectiles are incredibly slow, but the SMG at least seemed better than the shotgun.

I wish they would change Eyes' passive so I would actually use him. I never play him on principle because "see in the dark" is completely useless. To a lesser extent I wish they would change Fish's active but I got a few uses out of Roll the last time I played Fish. I should play Chicken more now that she's Hotline Miami.

Pretty much the only reason I ever use Eyes is for his ultra mutation. Given that 99% of enemies in this game do contact damage, his active ability feels utterly useless to me.

I don't see why his power doesn't pull items while pushing both bullets and enemies. Maybe it's just too OP to repel/slow melee enemies?

CJacobs posted:How? What good does pulling enemies toward you actually accomplish? You stay away from them, you only need to be like half a screen away for them to not be pulled. The only actual useful part of the enemy pulling is that you can pull them to a wall and smack 'em with a melee weapon, but the bullet push chumps all but like 4 enemies in the game.

Pulling enemies tends to glom them together into one big mass, making it easy to dodge their bullets (which you are repelling anyway) and allowing you to rack up kills really quickly. The control potential of eyes' active is what makes it good

After some experimentation, the enemy pulling works pretty well in combination with boiling veins + explosive weapons. Drawing all the trash mobs right into your face and then blowing them all up point-blank without fear of death is pretty great.

Long arms, trigger fingers, scarier face makes eyes into a melee beast. Stay behind cover and smack everything to death. Also YV is great for melee because of his inherent higher fire rate.

Y.V really shines with certain weapons. I beat my previous record and got to the caves loop boss the other day, mostly by using his throne butt with a seeker pistol. it basically doubles as a more powerful seeker shotgun if you right click.
