I usually love projectiles that home in on people but in this game if a bullet curves away from where you aimed it it's infuriating

no

useful weapons are:

shovel
crossbow/auto crossbow/super crossbow
super plasma cannon

don't try to play with anything else really. always take trigger fingers + long arms

this is dumb and wrong. (unless you're going for high scores or something, in which case you don't need this thread's advice)

triple machinegun etc *can* be good, i've had builds that use them well - pretending that they're auto-shotguns is a pretty good approach, iirc. ammo consumption means they're definitely situational, but sometimes huge sustained damage is just what you need

Pick Steroids, get crossbows or splinter guns (especially 2x splinter pistols or autocrossbows) if bolt marrow, assault/gatling/hyper sluggers and/or heavy revolver/machinegun/rifle if not, and I'm ready to loop.

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone
Does anyone here like hard mode. I want to like it but my runs usually end with one of the plasma cannon butterfly wing guys spawning on top of me and killing me. How do you deal with that guy when you can't kill him quickly

triple machine gun is alright in the early game for clearing rooms. laser minigun is pretty bad usually because it misses too much.

the bullet minigun weapons are good if you can handle the ammo cost for it, i like them with fish's ultimate mutation that gives infinite ammo at the start of the level.

hard mode is a bad joke and only exists to get the unlock from beating a few levels of it, imo

if it did just a little bit more damage it could one shot dog guardians on a pop pop and i would give it a 😘👌

but few weapons one shot dogs so i forgive it and it's still really good

shovel + super crossbow/spc is still my ideal

co-op is brutal. reviving a friend takes half your health and if you dont revive, you lose 1hp per second.

If you were encountering explosive snipers that's on 3-X which is like 7 minutes into a run. Weak...

still haven't killed the last boss but i can't imagine beating world 7 without a melee weapon and/or crystal bcz there's way too much poo poo to dodge. my last run where i made it to the boss i had a lightning hammer which was incredibly good and doesn't use up any ammo for some insane reason unlike the other energy melee stuff

The current weekly is pretty cool and you can easily do splinter pistol+autocrossbow+ bolt marrow if you get a big red chest to spawn in 4-1, got to 1-2 L2 first try, guessed wrongly where a van would go and got loving wrecked
Also got to 7-3 in under 10 minutes without any skips, which is cool

There are only three kinds of enemies: the jumping dogs, the little ones that shoot bullets in a circle all around them, and the floating ghost guys who summon orbs. The ghost guys can throw out a lot of bullets but they're super fragile. The dogs are the most dangerous, but they telegraph their moves a lot. Basically, if you have the offense to get past Lil Hunter you can kill most of the enemies in a room fast enough to not worry about it, then it's just a matter of staying on your toes through the dogs.
