Hard Mode (How do you do it?)
How are you currently tackling the current harde mode?

I does seem to be heavily based on luck (Starting position,load out, enemies, etc)

but that aside how are you tackling it?

for me, Y.V. with a Wrench and ideally Longarms, Bolt marow and a crossbow. (or Return and his pistol)

I can get to the sewers stage... where it normally falls through (lack of ammo being the biggest downfall)

He's high fire rate enables me to output more damage in less time pushing back the waves of enemies and wrench (again higher fire rate) easier to deflect bullets.

What about you?

Rogue, starting out with the Rogue Rifle. Blast a hole in the wall near the spawnpoint and pick things off one at a time, until you've built up enough experience/firepower to take things head-on.

Only reached crystal caves so far, usually roll with crystal because the extra damage you can get from deflected bullets.

Wonder if anyone has looped since the hardmode weapon chest changes.

I didn't bother playing Hard Mode as it's basically 100% luck depending.

It's too Hard. I just cheat and start with guitar. Even that is just frustrating, you die so easily in the chaotic mess.

It's not hard, its literally just scummy-ness packed in a gamemode.

A common method is to use steriods, and then get recycle gland. It is Also very worthy to try amd get a triple machine gun or something similar.

Two more tips for Hard Mode:
- Destiny is a great crown to start out with. Roll for any Weapon Mutation that isn't Shotty shoulders, Bloodlust, or Scarier Face. At that stage of the game, Rhino Skin and Strong Spirit won't do you any good. It makes a big difference when you hit the ground running with something that makes it easier to kill everything on the screen (or survive, in the case of bloodlust)
- If you're playing as Rogue, a good strategy for dealing with Elite Grunts is to cheat as much as they do. They throw a rocket in your face? Drop a strike or two on theirs. There are very few points in the game that you actually need to rely on your strikes, and this would be that time.

Rogue has allies? I think you mean Rebel, though Rogue also seems to do okay in hard mode.
