hmm consider this. if you take shotgun shoulders you can't also take two of Bolt Marrow/Boiling Veins/Laser Brain/Long Arms without heavy heart appearing

the throne goes into desperation mode when you're not in the hallway (so in the little generator nooks or hammerhead hidey spots) or are behind it

melee weapons are very good, specifically shovel but also wrench + sledgehammer

strong spirit, hammerhead, trigger fingers, and bloodlust are the best mutations in the game but i also like long arms. because melee is good

all the characters are pretty equal you just gotta find what bonus you jive with. i like yv + steroids + horror

horror mostly for its extra mutation + insane ultra mutation. the beam i just use to charge vault portals haha

rad dogs are how you tell if a weapon is Good

my ideal rad dog weapon is pop popping a super crossbow into them. but that's obviously not gonna happen every run. gatling/assault sluggers and auto crossbow do pretty well. if you catch them mid jump you can stack melee damage like big bandit/big dog and i think a sledgehammer is enough to get them

what i find works for avoiding rad dogs:

not standing still

not moving directly at them

now you too can avoid these dogs what move in a straight line

yo here's the thing about weapon buff mutations though. when you take a third you're guaranteed to roll Heavy Heart which suuuuuuuuucks. so you really can only take two or waste a mutation​ roll. and long arms/laser brain/bolt marrow are way better than shotgun shoulders/recycle gland/boiling veins

oddium

heavy heart increases the weapon drop rate by tiny amount

back muscle used to be good when it also raised the point at which you would get more ammo drops but now it doesn't. i would still take it over like eagle eyes or sharp teeth i guess

rhino skin is good but it means you need five med kits to recharge strong spirit from 1 hp. i'd rather have second stomach where you only need two

these are my many nuclear throne opinions

extremebuff posted:

shotgun bullets deal extra damage on bounce, and on narrow levels shotty shoulders will make the pellets bounce rapidly 50 times all over the place killing everything.

if youve found a good bolt gun marrow is awesome but saying shotgun shoulders is bad..smh i reach the throne half the time if i get it and an auto/double shotty

if that works for you my dude then game on. i just don't ever find shotguns dependable, especially post loop
