Hey you, do you wanna prove to the rest of SA that you've got balls and mettle by doing that Steroids cosplay we all know you've got the body type for? ...Okay well what about if it's a competition and you get a signed copy of the physical Collector's Edition of the game if you win?

I finally unlocked hard mode I probably shouldn't have, because playing it made me enjoy the game far far less

hard mode isn't super great, although it's a bit better than it used to be. at least play it until you get chicken's b-skin tho

I just died to the throne with a really good Steroids built - cursed super splinter gun + regular super splinter gun, Throne Butt, Rabbit Paw, Strong Back and Bolt Marrow. It was beautiful to see 🅱🅾🅻🆃🆂 🅴🆅🅴🆁🆈🆆🅷🅴🆁🅴

Some cool stats just released:https://www.reddit.com/r/NuclearThrone/comments/411cgi/a_fistful_of_dailies_data_on_a_years_worth_of/ posted:Hello everyone! I'm Darwin, you may know me as a developer of the original Thronebutt.com website that collected daily run stats back in Early Access. Recently I've been hired by Vlambeer to re-make a website and the back-end. One part of the back-end is a system that flags suspicious scores for review by a human - and while I'm really excited about that part I can't exactly reveal all the details. To properly "train" the system, I required data on recent Nuclear Throne runs and various medians and averages, but since there's no kill like overkill I decided to just collect all the data and do statistics. Hopefully this will quench your statistics thirst until the website is out!

I think it's really interesting that Bandits are the top killers-I play DCSS a lot and despite all the crazy powerful enemies later on in that game, the #1 killer statistically is the unassuming hobgoblin, showing up on the very first floors. I would make an assumption that the top killer in any roguelike will always be an "easy" earlygame enemy, unless the earlygame is totally trivial.

Well, they're common so they get more shots to kill you too. It's funny with bandits though, because they shoot so haphazardly you can have cases where a room full will be just holding fire the entire time, or shooting as fast as they can. They hold fire enough that you don't just start dodging them automatically, like you would a Golden Tank or a Scorpion, who are fairly predictable in their firing patterns -- even if it's almost immediate you do know it's coming. Also, I might be mistaken but they don't really seem to aim, so in a hail of fire where it's all heading to where you were 2 seconds ago, random bandit shots could be heading anywhere.

They actually always shoot in the direction their gun is currently pointing, which is not always at you.

for all intents and purposes, for a non-savant player on a crowded screen bandits may as well be firing randomly with zero warning though

Right, but crows do too, and they fire three shots at a time. Both can be dangerous on an open room though(everything can be dangerous on an open room though)

Also Bandits are the only mob that appears in every normal level and even some secret ones, which makes the chance they kill you pretty high compared to other mobs.

Everywhere but the desert you just get like one or two bandits tucked away in a little alcove next to a chest, though.

In loops there are more tho, and when you die from a hail of random bullets, chances are there is at least 1 bandit bullet in there somewhere!

Just started playing again for the first time in months - why is the exit portal sometimes spawning across the map from where I killed the last enemy? It's very odd.

It is meant to spawn at the last corpse, which seems to include props (like cactus & stuff if you broke it after the last enemy) however explosive barrels seem to take precedent over this so in the desert you'll have the portal spawn on them half the time.

Finally managed to kill the Throne (on PS4), with Crystal, and the Hyper Rifle (I think). No loop though; am I right in thinking I need to blow up the generators either side? I've tried to do it a few times since (the weekly seems bugged and keeps letting me repeat it), but keep getting killed before I can blow up all of them.

https://giant.gfycat.com/WhiteSlowIlladopsis.webm Getting dual hyper rifles, recycle gland, and throne butt is great. e. Also yeah, you need to kill the four generators before killing the throne to loop.

Weekly isn't bugged if you're able to repeat it. You get unlimited tries at a new high score with the weekly, it's just the daily which is 1 attempt only.

Of course, on PC right now those are currently backwards and have been for at least 2 months at this point. e: It looked like it was fixed (first time I'd seen the weekly up in awhile) so I tried the daily and then the game crashed when I got to throne II Owl Inspector fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Jan 17, 2016 |

Cool. I couldn't do weekly before on the PS4 for some reason. Can I unlock stuff on them? The new weekly I can reliably get to the throne, because a super splinter gun seems to always spawn at Big Dog (I'm guessing chest spawns are generated with the seed), and that really helps.

Somehow this wasn't obvious to me and I always just assumed they tried to spawn near you but sometimes they didn't. It makes so much more sense now.

That video is a good example of why you should not go into the holes in the wall that the generators/you make(or behind the throne), it makes it spam balls like crazy congrats on surviving it though! I've only survived going behind the throne once myself, on a run where it ended up backing me up to the back wall and I burrowed my way behind it with an energy hammer

Not as good as ultra shovel(although you got an ultra shovel at an unlucky time, since you had low rads and your other weapon wasn't super ammo efficient)
