How hard is ranger hardcore?

[Grantorino]

I can't remember if I was playing that on last light but it felt nice becaus the damage goes both ways.

[Jig McGalliger]

Hardcore means less health which some people claim is easier, Ranger has more aggressive enemy AI.

I generally always play Survival Ranger, HC for less bullet sponges and quicker death.

[Sovereign]

Combined with survival mode it will put up a good fight and makes supplies very scarce, but it's well balanced so if you know what your doing you shouldn't have to much problems.

ranger hardcore is broken in both games since it disables every part of the hud so you have no way to tell how much ammo you re picking nor can you check how much total you have left. It's a sorry ass excuse for lazyness and failure to implement a realistic and immersive system of checking your gear which some people still defend, to my amazement. Just play on ranger hard - it's equally challenging without breaking the game.

You can look at your inventory by simply looking at your journal (clip board). You can tell how much ammo you have in each gun by just looking at the gun itself or by counting your shots like people do in real life.

Also "ranger hardcore" and "ranger hard" are the same thing.

They aren't broken, that is how they are designed intentionally. However, in Redux you can view your inventory by using the clipboard... so that has been addressed.

It's not as bad as you think. Everyone dies faster. EVERYONE. So most of the time you can just 2-3 shot people no problem with an AK and bring a shotgun to one-shot all the mutants. You should be fine.

I didn't know it was fixed in redux so I just played on ranger normal, guess I can give it a try now. Still, the original mode was absolutely dumb

you can check your ammo by using journal in original 2033.

this also works in redux in both games... this games just doesn't hold your hand, really makes you try new things

This game starts to get annoying after curse outpost.

Stuck on that part at the surface where there's a nazi outpost and there's two demons flying over there. Killing them isn't the problem, I'm low on air filters. There's a safe though but I can't find the key.

The key is in the hand of a corpse on the roof I believe. That level is one of the hardest, if your low on filters then you might need to just move on to the level exit.

THE SAFE IS EMPTY

OH MAAAAAAAAH GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[Grantorino]

Sorted it out. There's one or two lose ones on the same floor as the safe.
