the assult slugger kicks rear end

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

you don't really aim the lightning guns. i don't know if it still works but you used to be able to use the lighting cannon with eyes' ultra and it would last forever as long as you never touched a wall with it

anyway i'll use the lightning pistol early on because it's not awful, especially with steroids, but the rest are 👎

except the lightning hammer which is a contender for best weapon in the game

no you just need to destroy the four generators in the throne room before destroying the throne. you should get the crown of curses anyway because unlike the rest of the crowns Curses is actually good

curses and blood are the only good ones. actually risk is okay on a melting b run because you're either getting the benefit or you're dead

it carries over between runs, so you can keep a super crossbow or something there if you find one but roll awful mutations.

BUT ALSO if you hit ball mama (sewers loop boss) with a golden weapon she'll drop the frog pistol, which becomes the golden frog pistol if you put it in the proto chest and retrieve it with a different character. the golden frog pistol starts you as Frog

i gave it to fish because it makes the most sense i think

weapons i like to have for lil hunter: auto crossbow, super crossbow, assault slugger, gatling slugger, lightning hammer um. that's probably it. usually a 5-10 second fight.

if you get in his face he won't attack and fly off instead. this isn't 100% though so don't @ me if it fails

i usually never get anything good from the cursed caves but i'm pretty sure it's more rads and if you have a sledgehammer or a./g. slugger it's not too hard

which character?

always yv except sometimes horror or steroids. fish is cool because of the guitar and potential gun warrant/trigger fingers tomfoolery i guess

oddium
Feb 21, 2006

end of the 4.5 tatami age

i'm not really a horror expert but the beam destroys projectiles and charges proto statues and with throne butt it heals him. so preloop for visiting vaults/anti lil hunter/i guess going hog wild on rad dogs because i hate rad dogs and it saves ammo

later in the game when you the only thing you need rads for are ultra weapons the healing and bullet destruction is very helpful

BUT the extra mutation choice every level is super good and his ultra mutation anomaly tends to spawn portals before idpd vans and if the level portal is spawned the vans won't (you can see this early in a loop when the l1 1-2 portal breaks pretty much right away and the van sirens wail but nothing comes)

you don't want impact wrists with melee because melee weapons can't deal damage during i-frames (from all the wild corpses)

i'm not great at the game but is back muscle not good? i play robot a lot and it seems real nice with him when you're munching a lot of stuff and hitting the ammo cap

ammo packs drop more when you're low on ammo. back muscle raises the ammo cap. so with back muscle you used to get ammo packs sooner. but now you don't
