That Deagle nerf seems pretty severe. Not totally unexpected, but a fairly big drop.

Nah. 145 to 120 damage doesn't mean much.

It makes a minor difference on DW: you can no longer body-shot SWATs, and specials might take an extra shot. Take Custom Ammo and that issue disappears.

PSA about JoaT via reddit: you can use "x" to switch between the deployables. No this isn't documented, it's not even under keybinds. Yes "JoaT" is infuriatingly close to "Jort" as an acronym.

It's mentioned in the skill description in their Google doc but lmao that they couldn't put it in the in-game description. Guess that means you can't bind it to something else currently? Excellent.

Can't wait to see how harsh the pistol RoF nerf is. As if I needed more reasons to use akimbo SMGs full-time.

Oh, and are there any more skill build slots in the beta? I asked on the steam forums and someone said an Overkill dev confirmed we were getting more but he never sourced the quote and 99% of the people who post there are idiots so I'm assuming it's still 5. Hrm. Better question: is the more skill build slots mod broken in the beta?

No more slots in the beta, but the mod isn't broken. Download link here. I edited this version to have all the unlock slots be free, since the beta reset all of them.

Fun beta bug.

If someone without drill skills/lower drills skills repairs your upgraded drill, they downgrade it.
It is not just visual, this adds more time to the drill.

seriously. Oh no I guess I have to use these awesome as hell compact 5s... in ICTV. I mean, a controllable stryk outside of swan song is nice and all, but couldn't they let us customize our ROF with a drop-in part similar to how you can drop in an autofire/semi-only part?

yes I want the Ghost Recon Future Soldier weapon customizer in this game, why

Jesus christ this beta broke a lot. Dodge seems to be seriously nerfed, can't spend all my skill points it seems, akimbo seems to be nerfed even harder....kinda rough so far, may be going back to an Enforcer build at this rate.

Interesting mechanic/bug: You cannot ace both skills in a tier even if you got enough points to do so. I tried acing both Running From Death and Up You Go and it wouldn't let me. I had just enough points, too.

Fake Edit: Actually, it looks like you can only spend 119? I dunno. This is a beta so sure.

Tulip

yeah thats pretty good


Yeah you can only spend 119 skill points for whatever rear end backwards reason.

The only thing that's REALLY getting me is that I can't use mousewheel to scroll between skill loadouts, I have to go into the skill screen and hit 's.' That and I can't rename skill sets.

Oh also them using the same placeholder icon for like all skills. And for some reason "Oppressor" in Armorer 1)uses the Oppressor icon stead of the Stun Resistance shades and 2)is called Oppressor same as the goddamn tree for gently caress's sake why it doesn't even have anything to do with suppression anymore.

e: I hope they don't change the tool tip for basic martial arts.

So, I played for a bit today in the beta, and I did note that the ammo pickup nerf was quite disappointing even with the supposed boost to the rate offered by that one perk in Ammo Specialist.

Then I decided to roll out a build with most of the Controller skills, and this happened:





I have now decided that I adore this beta, since the effectiveness of shooting has been diminished when you can just yell at cops all day.

I juggled quite a few dozers with a mac-10 today :v:

cloakers ain't resistant to it either

oh and my game crashes when going into the perk deck screen, but I can still just use the mouse wheel to choose different ones w/o going into the screen. Not too mad since, well, it is a beta after all

Whoever it was that said automatic weapons are the big winners is right, I think. The Oppressor Technician tree is absolutely nuts, and it's not hard to stack extra buffs, like silencer skills, in there.

Shotguns feel worse, but that's probably a relative measure. They didn't become particularly better in the way that other setups did.

Regen-based dodge builds are the big losers. I didn't think the Grinder change would make much of a difference, but between it and the 5% loss, dodge builds are in rough shape.

I'm so far enjoying 94 armor LBV Ex-President. Still kinda not sure which weapons are great, although that's mostly because of the gigantic ammo pickup cut.

Beta's still just kind of a mess, though. Hard to give proper feedback when there's so many busted things. And yet those motherfuckers can still find the time to fix a perfectly harmless visual bag bug on Hotline Miami day 1, grrrrrrr

Fun bug from last night.

I think it's the SMG/LMG/AR Tech +15 ammo cap skill that makes the light crossbow have 16 bolts in a mag.

Reload on top of bolts. Sadly it's not rapid fire, but it sure is useful when you're tazed.

Also on the melee front, Frenzy's a bit of a super risk. I think Sociopath works best with it atm, as grinder is a tiny tiny regen. Will check muscle synergy. Frenzy deffo needs a healing perk.

Frenzy is hilarious fun with Yakuza for all of five seconds before you get downed... but good god I was one hitting tans at one point.

So far, I really love the 50% reload following a melee kill, but am definitely missing sprinting reload.
