The chainsaw-katana doesn't have an alt fire like the regular chainsaw, does it?

Haven't played co-op yet, but shouldn't setting the player scaling to a lower number help with bullet-sponges? Like, leave the difficulty high but put the scaling to one or two people.

Shadow Warrior 2's weapon arsenal feels like it comes out of a mod, and I mean that in the best possible way. I'm talking like Project Brutality for Doom or Ballistic Weapons for UT04, where you're given access to a huge number of ever-escalating guns and it's up to the player to figure out what they like and don't like. While there's obviously a lot to be said for a pared-down, ultra focused list of firearms--see this year's Doom for example--I've got a real soft spot for the kitchen sink approach when it's executed so well.

Plus when it comes to starter shotguns, SW2's got Doom 2016 beat; I only ever liked that one when I unlocked the grenade secondary.

Both have the best FPS combat of any game in years.

I saw somebody use a chainsaw. Where can I get that?

You should be able to buy a Warrrsaw from Larry as soon as you unlock him.

And hell, probably more, I'm not even that far into the game yet.

I saw a gif of something that's basically a bunch of circular sawblades on a stick.

Argh why won't work be over already!

oh I think that's where I found it, or at least the chainsaw, actually since it was like part of the quest to go pickup stuff at the wang cave

Huh, I got the chainkatana from that quest, so maybe it depends on whether you preordered or not?

I'm curious as to whether specific items have randomized traits or not. For example, from what I've read, one of the earlier bosses will always drop a specific set of bone claws. In my case, using any special attack with it gives a +15% crit chance for a few seconds, anyone else have a different effect with the same item?

Cool. As dumb as this game is, it's really smart with mixing hand-crafted with generated content in a ratio that keeps me interested.

Yeah it sounds like it's about the typical length of any other linear shooter campaign. Definitely gonna convince my friends to buy this and play through it again cooperatively.

The preorder dlc is just a single melee weapon and currently, no.

If Flying Wild Hog teams up with CD Projekt RED and designs the combat for Cyberpunk 2077 I will never need another game.

How the gently caress do you people run out of ammo, are you using only one gun or something?
Even just using 4 guns never runs me out of ammo and using all 8 guns I don't even need to buy ammo between missions.

Yeah the only weapon type I ever run out of ammo with are automatics, though I do run lowish on others if I try to use them exclusively. Which I like; really makes you mix things up. Between this and Doom I'm actually using my number keys to quickly swap between guns again!

Anyway, looks like there's gonna be some new stuff coming:

Shadow Warrior 2 Getting Free New Challenge Mode posted:

"The first piece is the introduction of the first game’s ultimate katana and fan favorite, the Nobitsura Kage, into Shadow Warrior 2. Coming updates to Shadow Warrior 2 will include new missions and an ultra-hard challenge mode alongside new weapons, items, and co-op ninja characters."

"We’re adding some new features like insane difficulty tiers, rebalance of some skills and drop system, better crafting and a lot of bug fixes, so it needs to be tested properly."

Last part is for the patch, which should be out today.

Looks like there's a bug, maybe introduced by the patch; I'm on the mission to meet Kamiko's dad and the "Shenlong" grenade launcher dropped by the miniboss causes the entire game to lock up and I have to force it to quit. :(

Implying that SW2's weapons aren't garbage until you've done the spreadsheets.

They aren't though? They're fun to look at and shoot right out the box unless you're playing on some hardass difficulty while trying to ignore the upgrades. Which, frankly, you can just no-brain and build for crits.

The fact that there aren't any sequences that fill the sky with annoying, hard to kill enemies means that FWG has learned enormously from SW1 and Hard Reset.

Who knows how long those 14 missions are but regardless, that's still a lot bigger than any of the previous stuff.
