Drewjitsu posted:True, but still, how do you make aced tough guy worth a poo poo? This really is the golden question. My argument is that there's clearly a bunch of code lying around to tweak various player/weapon stats, and that the bad perks could get turned into buffs for this or that, alongside some reshuffling. Ghost gets a skill that lowers the concealment on all weapons by X, Technician gets a reload speed bonus on "heavy weapons," etc. E: Afraid of Audio posted:moving target gives dodge while moving and additional dodge while sprinting for the ace The massive, massive problem with Moving Target is that you stop sprinting when you change directions. If you could just hold down shift and sprint all the time, it might be a decent skill. But maybe not even then. How often do you need to sprint backwards, especially without run 'n gun?

Krilion posted:I have no idea what those are, but sure. The Baby Deagle is a pistol that goes in your secondary slot. It's an excellent gun. Great damage, potential for low concealment, adequate ammo pickup. Golden Grin Casino heist gives you access to the melee weapon Buzzer. It works like a short-range taser and temporarily stuns cops.

Krilion posted:I meant DMR kits, but now I want a baby deagle. Oh. Well. DMR kits are all associated with DLCs, and they're just another weapon mod. The mod generally substantially increases damage while reducing ammo and stability (basically snipers without penetration, but big mags and higher fire rates). There are kits for the Car-4, AMR, AK762, and Gewehr, IIRC. I might be missing one.

LowellDND posted:K, one of my friends likes stealth builds and lots of gadgets. How could this be improved? If you're stealthing, you go all-in. That means not bringing things that will make the heist go loud, like sentries and C4. Moreover, speccing more than one deployable is a bad move, since those points are effectively wasted when you don't bring that deployable. I'll add a better build in a few minutes. E: Try something like this. If you need to free up some points because of level, I'd probably drop drill skills first then Technician is such a point-sink, and you have to pick skills that aren't really helpful for stealth. Once you infamy, you'll have more room to pick up quality of life stuff like Lockpicking Expert. Opinions on these builds may vary slightly. I may have made a dumb mistake somewhere, though, so someone should audit me. LuciferMorningstar fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Jan 15, 2016 |

A couple of modding-related questions: 1. There are two skills that allow you to reload faster, and they do not, as far as I can tell, involve different animations. Instead, the animations are just faster. However, I have been informed that tweaking reload speed does not also adjust animation speed, leading to dumb things happening. Presumably, there is some way to specify how much faster a reload should occur. Am I correct, and if so, how would one specify that? 2. Does anyone know if there is some boilerplate code that could be used to add attachments (that do not currently exist for other weapons) for a weapon? Assuming such code allows re-use of existing models. 3. How would one go about tweaking skills?

So, uh, PSA: Counterfeit seems like it might have some interesting bugs. Namely that you can restart the printing machine after taking the plates out. And that takes the escape away until the machine is done. At which point the escape is in the machine. Shockingly, you cannot use the printing machine to escape.

Discendo Vox posted:Indicator lines for the C4 trap and the escape chopper's various stages of arrival/departure are also bugged. The C4 spawned without a huge pile of cash, but that might be intentional. Yeah. All the indicators were bugged, which is probably why we ended up in that position. 40 minutes on DW printing bags of money. We pulled the plates out when we were done, and then couldn't find Bile's indicator anywhere, even though he had announced his presence. Instead, we had the "escape" objective. Cue panic that pulling the plates triggered the end of the mission, causing Bile to leave forever (and us unable to secure the bags). Bile eventually came back, but by that time, the printing machine had already been restarted, even though there weren't any plates in it. That caused the escape to disappear. Once the printing was done again, the escape marker popped up on the machine. A similar bug allegedly exists on Undercover. Apparently, you have the ability to restart the computer when the power is off. If you do so, it won't actually work. And once you've turned the power back on, you won't be able to fix the computer for real.

ANSWER THE PHONE 
Mesadoram posted:How is the recoil on the Falcon? Looks like it is a really solid rifle now, and it looks like the best of the heavy rifles too. But then again, I've been playing with shotguns since I started this game so my opinion might be a little hosed. It's quite good. It can even be modified to be semi-concealable. The main drawback is low total ammo, but that's pretty minor unless you're doing some long-haul thing on DW.

-Troika- posted:What's a pretty good akimbo-dodge build? I am Infamy 4 but havn't played in forever. Do you want Inspire on your build? Try something like this. There's probably room for improvement in that build, but you get the idea. If you don't care about Inspire, try something [url=http://pd2skills.com/#/v3/mda:eIEDa:ghECda:fqrsoKMJEGCda:ibcdea:::]like this[url]. Invest the other points wherever you want. Drill skills, shotgun skills, silencer skills, whatever gets you off. All Akimbos are very concealable, so you can basically run whichever ones you want. Just make sure you mod and take a secondary that puts you under 5 concealment. Shouldn't be too hard. You can use either Rogue or Grinder. Grinder has the edge, IMO. You still retain a reasonable amount of dodge by being in a suit, and by sprinting and crouching. You also regenerate health, and... that's really good.

Gimmick build time. Try this one out sometime. The stats aren't quite right on this site, since you've got better concealment and dodge in-game, but this conveys the important stuff. The obvious thing I expect people to point out is no Swan Song. But the reality is that you shouldn't be going down to anything other than Cloakers. You're stacking dodge, armor, movement speed, armor recovery, and health recovery. If you go down, it's because you hosed up and tried to facetank a Saiga Dozer or a bunch of Blues. The other obvious problem is that your weapon choices are heavily restricted. But like I said, it's a gimmick. What were you expecting? Anyway, the real item of interest I want to point out is the interaction between Bullseye and Ex-Presidents. With Ex-Presidents, when your armor recovers, your health recovers. Usually, that means waiting a second or two, right? Triggering Bullseye, however, causes your armor to regenerate instantly. Which also causes your health to regenerate (if you've got some banked). So basically, as long as you keep your secondary health meter full, you have on-demand armor+health recovery, with literally no delay.

Discendo Vox posted:What have I missed? I've done my best to respond to all arguments on the subject that are more than "nuh-uh". Even if you took out every single explosive weapon in the game, Dozers are still laughably easy to wreck. Mag dump practically any weapon of your choice with a reasonable fire rate into the face plate and you're done. From that perspective, taking an RPG for Dozer-loving is almost inefficient, since something like a Clarion is basically just as effective, and doesn't kneecap you for ammo pickups and overall utility. Winters also drops reasonably swiftly to Molotovs/flamethrower. And if you want to nerf them too, then consider this: Winters is nothing more than a health hack. And if I recall correctly, that's one of the reasons you don't like DW. So... John Murdoch posted:I was just thinking about the viability of a silly hyper-fast armor regen build (squeezing in Aced Bulletproof) and Ex-President the other day, but Bullseye automatically triggering the heal means I'm going to totally switch to this kind of build next time I play. Pretty sure I have a Fugitive build lying around that I can switch perk decks on and bingo. Yeah. It's fun. It's just a shame Technician is such a goddamn wasteland for points.
