Lets discuss Raid Mode: Tips, tricks & advice

[Ringo]

I figured we could use a thread for discussing Raid mode. It's a lot of fun and has a good amount of replay value with the large variables that come with lots of loot, lots of characters (all with different stats) and lots of mods for the loot.

Feel free to discuss tips for clearing the stages, getting your rank up, weapon load-outs, characters, mods for weapons and whatever else you might think of. Keep in mind that spoilers may be mentioned since Raid Mode uses stages and events from the campaign.

FAQ:

What do the various icons by an enemy health bar mean?
The icon represents the kind of buff the enemy has which grants boosts to certain stats. They are:

Red fist-Damage boost
Blue running man-Speed boost and smaller model
Green Shield-Defense and health boost
Purple crown-"Boss" status with a boost to all stats

What does the yellow ! mean on the stage select?

The yellow ! means there is at least one named enemy in the stage which will drop loot upon death (usually parts). The name comes from Steam friends, possibly RE.net partners, and probably randomly generated ones if you're a lone wolf kind of player.

Why is there hardly anyone playing co-op?

Unfortunately, Revelations doesn't have an easy drop in/drop out system like RE6 does. Whoever is hosting a random match has to sit around waiting for someone else to join. It can get boring waiting and hoping someone joins so not many will sit and wait. While you can find random players, your best bet is one of the Raid Mode co-op threads or you can join the Raid Hunters group that Myrmidon created. The more people that join, the more likely we'll be able to find someone else to play with.

well I think I know what you're talking about, its kinda legit but also risky. you downgrade your level to like past 10 level difference recommended, and survive.

I'm sure it was something else, as she didn't receive the "Gutsy" achievement until a few days after reaching the lv cap.

(EDIT: Hmmm... thinking about it, I wonder if this should have been a separate thread?)

Okay, I guess I'll be "speculating" on my final builds (as in +30 weapons and whatnot).

I would say that I like a pretty deliberate playstyle, stopping to take something out from as far a distance as possible. However, I'm also Mr. Panic Modo who likes to spam his shotgun and/or machinegun A LOT when under duress.

Moving on, my crowd control of choice is a machinegun because it's not as limited by range as the shotgun, and Charge Shot 1 and 3 can no longer be used on them.

Government +5 Firing Speed +25 Capacity
- Damage 6
- Fire Rate 4
- Long Mag 10/Autoloader
- Daze 5/Critical 5/Piercing 2

High Roller "Steady Hand" +5 Firing Speed +25 Capacity
- Damage 6
- Fire Rate 4/Reloader/Daze 5
- Long Mag 10/Autoloader
- Critical 5
- Bind 5

Muramasa +5 Firing Speed +25 Firepower
- Damage 6
- Critical 5
- Outrange 3
- Charge Shot 4
- Fire Rate 4
- Cloak 2

Now this is from a purely theorycraft standpoint, though it is based on my preferences and playstyle.

Government is pretty much my standard carry. A powerful handgun with a respectable fire rate when upgraded, this is a good weapon to use when you're just seeing one or two unsuspecting victims and pick them off. A 5-Slot M92F would also be a good candidate if I wanted to have both Critical 5 and Piercing 2.

High Roller is a great weapon, but the recoil is ridiculous. Because this build will maximize its Firing Rate to 7.5 (or 10 if possible), a "Steady Hand" tag is required to mitigate a lot of this recoil. Its lower capacity can be mitigated by autoloader, but it is still a good idea to pay for Capacity Boosts as this provides extra ammunition.

Oh yes, the Muramasa. I could have put a Pale Rider in this slot, but like I said, I only ever want to engage in long range if I use Charge Shot. It's also much easier to aim with the scope than the OTS crosshair. Also, that long barrel is just goofy. It doesn't work like it does on a M500 like in RE5.

You're probably noticing the Critical 5 upgrades on here. This is pretty much extra damage that is only affected by RNG. Sure you can argue that Outrange/Infighter is a better option (definitely Outrange over Infighter on these, shoot them dead before they reach you), but I like Crits. Contrary to popular belief, Critical Hits do not just occur when you land a headshot. Ever notice your damage changing to a higher value when you're shooting the same hitzone repeatedly? Yep, you're landing a crit. Also, stacking that bonus to named bonuses that ups critical hits is freakin' sweet i.e. Steady Hand, Long Range+, and Jill's Samurai Edge.

On the menu for raid mode what does the symbol of a gun with a number next to it mean?

seems a bit of a pointless thing to have in the game don't you think

[The Great Depression]

I've been farming the hell out of ghost ship but am still missing these weapon mods. Help please?

-auto reload (sniper)
-cornocopia (sniper, shotgun)

Are these not in the pool of rewarded gold (box) parts at the end of ghost ship?

[pubob0]

Just wondering...does melee scale with difficulty on raid mode, or just char level plus char modifiers. Was grinding stage 4 by just knifing the dogs, though I am just LV9 on Chasm, interesting to know if this would work on higher difficulties.

[Ringo]

Thought I'd share an 'Uber' Abyss kill (true final boss of the Ghost Ship) in which I knifed him to death aside from some Handgun fire to bring my HP back up to snuff (Fang 2 mod). Pretty tense pattern of stab, stab, dodge, stab, stab, stab, dodge. Only took 30-40 minutes of work :P

Of course, the loot was so not worth the effort. It was like playing Diablo III.

Awesome ^

How do you unlock pirate jill?

[Ringo]

First time you beat the Ghost Ship you get it.

[[FRACTAL]_V.]

Ghost Ship is quite a headache, I guess my lvl is too low. By the way, how can I unlock Hunk? It would be great if someone made a list to do things to unlock all characters and costumes for PC.

[JasonRy8]

Hunk I believe is you S-Rank all stages in Abyss.

Yup.

I'll add a list to the OP for all the unlocks in a bit.

[The Great Depression]
