the only gun i try to ditch asap is the machinegun..feels like its just the pistol on autofire. great sound tho

it's literally the revolver on autofire, but with a little bit of inaccuracy added in. it has ~15% higher dps than the revolver, so that's something, but...

i saw a thumbnail on yt titled "nuclear throne speedrun to loop 3" and it showed the desert with enormous crowds of monsters and multiple big bandits..i cant even get to the throne

you can loop the game endlessly, theres no real end. But beating the throne is a good first goal

What's the farthest anyone gotten. I know at a certain point the health scales out of a sane range but I'm curious if somebody has grinded out like 10 loops with a wrench

the guy in the vid was playing as rogue, they got through all of loop 3 using jackhammer and some super grenade launcher. i didnt watch the bosses i havent seen yet though, it was cool watching the guy calmly go through 400-count mobs knowing he could be obliterated any second

also hammerhead seems vital, once the monster count gets that big you cant just hope the maps give you cover lol

worth noting that there are a couple of endings, of which beating the throne is one. (just, you don't ever have to take an ending.)

i didnt warm much to this game when i first played it like a year or so ago. decided to give it another go and made it further than i ever have, which isnt very far, but still, im pleased. a question though, is the ice world boss supposed to be such bullshit?

youve gotta clear the area of mobs as best you can, and use cover well. his shadow tells you where he's gonna land next. but yeah, he's insanely hard

my problem is that im still getting a handle on how the ice world enemies work because ive gotten there like 3 times. First time i saw a car being chucked my way is when im running from that retard. Doesn't help it spawns me in the middle of a big expanse surrounded by spider masterminds

the trick for lil hunter is to just go apeshit on him with your strongest gun as soon as he appears. he has very little HP

its difficult when im getting swarmed by yeti and spiders.
the run i just died in i almost got him, i had like 2 hp and with my autoshotty i carved a path of insanity through at least 30 enemies. my health regen mutation only gave me like 2 hp for that and i ended up with no ammo. I almost had him

the best runs are ones where you find a powerful weapon just prior to meeting him and completely beast him in one shot the second he lands
super bazooka, super crossbow and energy hammer are good candidates
