I believe so. Goongratulations!

Stun grenades are good, yes. And tripmines appear to devastate Bulldozers, so they're actually kind of useful on transports.

imagine the sound of me cackling as one of my tripmines one-hits two 1D dozers at once

because this is a really good point. You're already taking C4 to blitz the stupid trucks, might as well make use of 14 tripmines, right?

flashbangs are how i controlled big pushes when doing amcar bullshit on 1D - obviously i can't disrupt large swarms of cops with nothing but an AMCAR, but a flashbang will keep things under control long enough for my sentries to handle the situation, or for me to just run the gently caress away. they're actually better than molotovs on most difficulties in practice, since the biggest thing that you use molotovs for is to control a space so you can recharge your armor and reload your weapon. flashbangs allow you to do this twice as often with 6 throws instead of 3 and will control a larger area, albeit for a shorter amount of time.

as far as weapons go, it's basically grenade launcher + crossbow or loving forget about killing things yourself. even the overkill + frenzerker poo poo does not hit the appropriate breakpoints to make the cop bullshit manageable. if you're running that route, you roll jokers and sentries and then your weapon selection barely matters as long as the ammo pickup is good. this is still my experience after the headshot differences in general, just because cops do such extreme damage that unless you ALSO have body expertise it takes too long to acquire and eliminate targets.

as far as defenses go, rogue and suit is objectively better right now; even in the worst case where dodge fails you entirely, you absorb only 1-3 fewer bullets than an armor build (dependent on range) and due to the near-100% accuracy of cops right now those 1-3 bullets equate to some fraction of a second.

in the statistically normal case dodge builds will defend from about half a dozen more bullets than an armor build and you will move farther in the short defense window you have due to not being encumbered.

ICTV frenzy/berserker/BE/suppressor skills with something like a suppressed M308 + HE pistolbow, or go the utility route and bring an incendiary GL and an explosive GL. MGL-140 and China Lake, or incendiary MGL and HE pistolbow
rogue or ex-pres dodge with a suit and pistols (you need Trigger Happy Ace and you need max crits)

Until the headshot change the other day, shotguns simply weren't good enough to hack it. Now they can be okay if you stack up Overkill and Frenzy - you'll have to be serious about finding one of the squishier goons to get Overkill up before you want to challenge the stupid pool of HP that is a special, but they can work. I'm still not a fan.

speaking of lab rats, remember when headless dozers were super hard to kill - designed to be something you run from? In yet another sign Jules hosed it up, they're now easier to just hose down with damage stacking crits than regular 1D dozers. :rolleyes:

I've been trying heavy crossbow and HE pistolbow (the former for most things, the latter to remove shields) and it works, but your overall ROF is so loving bad and having to run out to recollect bolts can be lethal. On the other hand, for immediately deleting a special like a medic or taser, the heavy is really, really good.

This is pretty much what I've been running, as well. Even with ICTV+Anarchist/Armorer, your armor is breaking in 2 shots. I tried running Ex-President and Crook for a while, and both performed worse than Rogue (Crook's armor is too low to make a difference and you can't kill fast enough for Ex-Pres to build up a pool). I've been favoring the Light Crossbow for the primary just because the Heavy's reload speed is so drat long.

They're still quite good to have around, though, so try them out and see if they work for you better than they did for me.

Shotguns sort of worked pre-headshot buff, but mainly if you also threw on Specialized Killing *and* crits on top of Overkill/Berserker. Yes, it was that stupid. I mean, it's all about comfort really; I made them work pre-headshot buff with just Overkill/Berserker but they were ammo neutral at best; now they're alright honestly. You will want a double shotgun setup, using a higher damage to get the Overkill chain going for the other.

M308 works without suppressor skills, if you are willing to sacrifice points for utility. On a map as rough as Goat Simulator, you want as many people rolling Swansong/Inspire/Stockholm Syndrome as possible. And, specifically for that map, you want someone with Jack of All Trades set up with C4 for day 2 because the difficulty is going to be frontloaded; you will be running low on resources while trying to get goats secured.

Your ideal team composition should at least include 1 or 2 people with HE pistol crossbows, China Puffs or Flamethrowers. RPGs can be useful.

They sort of worked, but it was stupid as gently caress dumping twenty Overkill/Frenzy buffed AA12 rounds into a dozer. It was just disgusting how little damage repeated applications of 000 buckshot at point blank did.

I agree about the M308, but if you want maximum killpower that's how to do it. I ran mine unsuppressed because I didn't want to give up Inspire, but I play with someone who regularly gets top kills (and usually not top downs) with a suppressed one.

Oh no autoshotguns are basically verboten on 1 down. It's pretty dumb. Loco or bust. I suppose you could run the 1014/Predator with enough buffs, but working from Loco damage as the baseline is a good way to go.

Frenzerker Anarchist in ICTV, suppressed auto M308 and HE pistol xbow.

You want headshots for armor regen through Bullseye, but the autofire skills are really great for an extended mag and being able to wreck cops with bodyshots when they pile up.

Is frenzerker the only weapon skill you'd take with the unsuppressed M308 or do you drop points in high value target or something?

As the long guide cipher I can tell you that crossbows are the only projectile weapons that can benefit from the situational damage bonus skills (e.g. berserker, underdog). Have you guys been stacking those on your straight-up arbalist builds or just relying on surefire ace and crits?

It isn't needed. The crossbows are a total crutch right now - with 1500/4000 for the big ones you can mostly not give a poo poo. You need a little on the Light Crossbow if you want to get tasers/medics into the one-hit bodyshot range, but I believe you can get there with just Underdog. (I've been running mine with Body Expertise because gently caress aiming.)

s'a buncha bugs involving implementation of the maps. Similar things have happened before. Word on the street is that the mapmaking system is insanely difficult to use. A big part of why this difficulty didn't have map-specific tweaks like DW, according to Jules, was that "map designers" who actually know how to edit maps, weren't available.

What confuses me is why they did not at least mark them as DW for difficulty purposes. For example, The Golden Grin has half as many cameras on OD as DW, with many being destructible (not that it helps significantly).

I'm really not clear on that either. My suspicion is that for some reason all difficulties of the map are loaded into the same space in the editor simultaneously, making it very difficult to separate out what belongs to each difficulty.

Hey now, she's only saying that so she can cut people up with a katana. She's an anime dork, not an anime.

New Heister idea: Eleven from Stranger things. Paid in Waffles. Masochist perk deck synergies with Frenzy and Zerker builds, the lower her health, the more brutal her attacks can be. At the lowest health possible, small chance for her to just scream and cause a panic effect in all cops if their heads don't pop like out of Akira. The longer she survives in the state the more likely for it to trigger, but it does have a cooldown after it happens.
