That and all it takes for heavy crossbow to be a legit decent weapon at its stage in the game is bolt marrow and trigger fingers. And if you're shooting for a super crossbow you're getting those mutations anyway.

I got this game and I love it! The gameplay, action, and music are all excellent. But as the OP mentioned this game is HARD AS BALLS. I have soo many deaths on record and I've only seen the Nuclear Throne once (just to get mega-lasered). Are there any good tips for someone continuing the struggle?

Be cautious. Don't rush if you don't need to, and use cover when you can. Don't get too attached to weapons that you get early on. A lot of the time I see new players still holding onto a crossbow or slugger way into the lategame when much better weapons have shown up, either because they're just more used to it or they haven't tried the higher tier weapons. You gotta experiment, and remember-weapons that put out damage faster are almost always better than weapons that save ammo. Also, wrt lil hunter: quote:Lil Hunter is probably the biggest roadblock for new players. Some tips specifically for him:

My favorite bit of advice is to shoot first few things can kill you when they're already dead

Little Hunter only dodges when you click. Use an automatic weapon and/or Steroids

A shovel will completely wreck Lil hunter. Shovel blocks fires, and bouncer bullets. And depending on how brave you are you can block his fast bullets too.

Jackhammer is really good for locking him down to the point of uselessness too.

Thanks for the tips! The part about not getting attached to weapons helps a lot. I think my new favorite combo (while being suicide) is Y.V.'s throne butt ability and a nuke launcher.

Haha pretty much. Though on the next level I panicked and launched four nukes point blank into an energy dog. gently caress those radiation energy dogs.

I like how almost every time someone talks about them the name is different("radiation dogs", "rad dogs", "guardian dogs", "green dogs", "energy dogs") but there's never any confusion what they're talking about even though there's like 3 other kinds of dogs in this game

HGH posted:So is this a Playstation flaw? Can't move the cursor too far from the character? When you're using controllers, in order to keep aiming sane, the reticule has a max distance it can go from your character and then when you let go of the stick it snaps back to neutral. Which makes the nuke launcher pretty much unusable, yes.

Finally thronebutt is back! My first run wasn't that bad, still in the top 100. The weapon drops weren't that great, Gatling followed by Hyper Slugger were my main weapons for most of the run, and I had a heavy machinegun as backup, later replaced with lightning cannon, and finally the plasma minigun.

i've been finding that labs is a surprisingly challenging area, just because running out of ammo is a very real problem at pretty much all times, and occasionally you get stuck with a gatling slugger and an ammoless energy hammer and you spawn in a big room and immediately get swarmed (i wish i had managed to make my way out of this alive). it was weird beating little hunter and going "i'm pretty well prepared for murdering the throne but poo poo i dunno if i can make it through labs"

Yeah, for the labs you need Gamma Guts or a weapon that deals with crowds, and for the palace/throne you need very good single target damage. I ditch some good weapons for stuff like smart guns or flame shotguns sometimes before the labs. (not that those are bad guns, mind you)
