Tunnel rat is the best class, farm 3x times more items. A guide to Percy tunnel rat. Maybe nerf this class?

The best clone is still Victoria and the best class is still hades scouts but this one is much more fun and efficient.

Percy has 5 armor to everything to start with but bad shooting so you have to make him tanky against all damage.
People also tend to ignore the resistances of enemies and the damage of guns.

A shotgun like the taiga does very little damage if the enemy has any resitance against cuting, so 6 cut armor is enough to make most starter shotguns shoot with spit balls.
But the jeffhammer has 5 - 15 x 4 damage but with the maxed out Shotgun damage perk it becomes 8-22 x 4.
the shotgun perks is probably the easiest skill to level up in the game because you shot a lot of enemies with a shotgun
After you get the flechette recipe you can mass produce them by geting 2 stacks of 9mm bullets each raid.
Flechettes has 20% crit chance and 80 pierce chance and still retains the 4 fragments.
So in essence you shot 4 bullets that do 8-22 piercing damage with a 20% crit chance and 80% pierce chance.
In addition the tunnel rat class gives a 100% crit chance when you see an enemy. I am not sure about the base crit chance, i suppose we have one? So worst case scenario is that you 40% crit chance and shot 4 bullets at once meaning your average damage is always above 100 piercing and can go up to almost 200 full auto:)

The accuracy perk is very hard and dangerous to level up so its not that effective but the looting means you get extra items on bodies.
That means basically more repair kits(any of the 3 variety) from human enemies but also rare items like the wire on robots or a lot of artefacts on demons.
Demos can now have a few greandes, the repair/healing 100% item, the map reveal item and idols.
You should also take 2 stacks of energy cells in a raid and cut up humans to eat the flesh so you get a decay wound, that can only be healed at the autodoc so you refill the autodoc with energy cells.
So, energy cells for autodoc, you eat flesh and heal but you also need the demon idols to lower qmorph so the prince demon rambo doesnt come.
This will level up the skill to get another boost to armor, 30% extra armor is not hard to get.
So you are turned into a walking tank with midas touch:) very useful to farm and survive a lot of missions. you even survive the dreaded fire since you should have about 14 fire resistance.

This doesn't mean you can't die, the tetzclan knights can cut you down, scientists with laser can kill you pretty easy, the other factions with big guns as well.
This is just enough to get you through the most boring part of the game where you have to farm a lot.
Of course this farming is done on Venus since other planets have other demon cults, or on planets that you face tetzclan.
And then just trade all the gannix fabric for items and chips, pretty easy to unlock most usefull things in a few hours.

Every clone and class have their own strenghts and i am sure the game will get more balanced as more updates are applied.
You can also farm a lot of gun repair kits to use the energy guns on ther clones.
this also means you can carry a gakavbajkbvfsd item for every run and farm about 10 furuncules to use on the harder missions and enough idols to use them.

So yeah, remember that every clone, class, gun and item has utility and build potential. I can imagine how interesting would be to give victoria a flamethrower, get the class that increases burn duration and just purge the heretics.

Also, tunnel rat percy with dragonfire shells makes demon barbecue and can walk through fire as well

Idk instead of nerfing this class...how about make other class more useful like this one and scout instead of whatever the hell spaceghost was.

why nerf this class, it is a solo game man, its only you play the game

Niko Medich with the +40% pistol accuracy, Ripper assault pistol, which is essentially a shotgun and the Cerberus, I believe is a high end 9mm pistol with the Scout of Hades class seems pretty good. As long as you get within effective range, each shot is a guaranteed hit. 150-165% accuracy may seem like an over kill, though each enemy appears to have a hidden dodge stats that we do not see.

Then there is Jacques Kennet with the -2 reload, you combine that with the Rookie vest that gives another -2 reload, class him as Tifton's elite and pack him up with Beast. Its going to make him the most ammo consuming character, but its going to be the most satisfying character to use with laying down the highest volume of fire possible without worrying about reloading.

Mirza Aishatu with the -60% satiety encourages the use of aggressive 3AP stance more often. Pair that with Eclipse blade, you should be able to get some nutty melee action since with the athletic skills, it nullifies the penalty that comes with the running stances. High risk though since a miss penalizes you heavily with of course, instant death as there is no such thing as light or heavy damage in this game. Maybe its something a masochist or glutton for hardcore game play to go with. For most other player, you probably have better time trying her out when you already got good things going with other character and your stocks are pretty good, wanting to try out different things.

Well, like Trevor said, there are many fun builds and clones in the game, the devs shouldnt restrict the utility of other classes.
I mean, this is not a combat focus class and it needs a lot of work to make it "work" but the rewards are a bit too much since your other classes can start any mission with a lot of q artefacts and win faster.
On the other hand, it's early access and if the devs recive accurate feedback they can make the game better and more fun(i hope)

Just go kenzie with a dodge class and have every gun miss you always. You stop caring about what guns enemy carry cause they can never hit you, only melee weapons.

I really hate this argument. The developer made multiple classes to be used as the intended experience, otherwise they wouldn't bother. "90% of the classes are useless but ♥♥♥♥ it, its a single player game!"

They don't need to be equal in balancing, like a competitive multiplayer game, but there needs to be a reason to use them besides gimping yourself.

That being said, I'm on the bandwagon of buffing the classes to be on par with scout instead of nerfing it so that everything is equally useless.
