How can I win playing as One-Armed?

[kyivska maiba]

I would be glad for any advice, because I can’t go beyond wave 11 at difficulty level 0. Which weapon should I choose and what skills should I upgrade? The furthest I've gotten with a laser pistol

Try a melee weapon, they aren't limited by pierce for killing power like ranged weapons, especially ghost axe or hatchet since they swing instead of stab and so will keep you safer; ghost axe is nice because it'll give you damage and has a slightly larger hitbox, but hatchet is good because all that attack speed is also damage so you'll be set on killing power for a little while, and it attacks very fast. Beyond that, you want to develop non-weapon sources of damage, turrets and stuff are good, but what you really want is luck damage: baby elephants and cyber balls with plenty of luck and %damage.

Don't neglect your survivability, because you will be getting hit, sometimes having to run straight through a crowd to get out of a tight situation.

I did it with smg at the start, it took about 4 tries, but most of those tries were trying to get the "win a wave with 1HP" achievement. Upgrade luck, ranged damage, and your preferred healing stat, with some armor and plenty dodge and some speed. Engineering is also nice because turrets are useful when you only have one weapon, but I didnt put much into engineering. If you get garden item get them every time, hope for turrets, hope for more tree spawn, hope for flame turrets, landmines, and high tier smg, and anything else you think is necessary.

I was baffled on how to win with one armed when i first got the game, But now, after trying to win danger 0 with every character, I was able to get it. Now i need to try and win with mutant, fisherman (I WAS SO CLOSE! I lost wave 18), and plenty other i still need to unlock.

Goodluck fellow Taterman

Oh, One-Armed? He's the Sling-Shot dude I think. You wanna just get a Sling-Shot, and go for Dmg% because he gets double the effect. (5% damage increase turns into 10%, etc). He has 200% attack speed already, and you'll have so much damage% you won't need critical hit. Beyond that, just take some of the larger HP boosts later if you have trouble dodging enemies, or something. Should be an extremely easy win.

One-armed is one of the more difficult characters. There's a variety of weapons folks regularly have decent luck with, but the most-recommended weapons that fit best with their strengths are: Lightning Shiv, Claw, and Slingshot.

SMG is also decent but hits significant diminishing returns on Attack Speed value (so more than 1/3rd of your starting 200% Attack Speed is effectively wasted). Ghost Axe is okay as well, but you end up with a very narrow window of time to switch to a good weapon after building up all that Damage% thru Wave 9, so it is unreliable.

I did it with Sling-Shot.

I think I did it with Shredder on the highest difficulty - need a good run though with lucky drops.
Ignore trying to kill the bosses, that isn't gonna happen, fopcus on staying alive in boss waves.

+1 to slingshot.
It got worse as a strategy since the elite waves introduction, but generally you should be able to power through most of the game unless swarmed down by hordes.

I did T4 with Lightning Shiv. Load up on elemental damage. Need to get a little lucky on Shiv upgrades - but otherwise - not too bad.

Thank you all, I did it with Slingshot :^)
