Tough game.... tips?

[Knin3]

Doees this game have difficulty settings, ive looked but cant find any? I thought I chose hard when I started but now im thinking the game is just damn tough allround. ok im on the 2nd level, coming up against 2 tough dudes at a door with 4 guys before it. Something ive noticed is once a combo has started no matter how much you press the dodge button it doesnt work until that combo is finished....... I find that crap. Blocking, if you stand there blocking a hit can take half your health n knock you back. Im dieing from one hit at times, wearing the full rhino gear apart from weapon which im using the pax huge knife. If I get more than one guy on me im pretty much dead n im finding im doing the same combo over n over, either 4 hits weith light or a light n one heavy. Anyone have any tips, becus im sure im not doing myself justice

Thanks guys

well, first thing to remeber is that as a souls-like game is to slow down. the more agressive you get the quicker you end up dieing due to forcing the a.i. into more agressive atack paterns, so hang back, play defenceive ( dodge instead of block), study the enemy, and personaly I find that a higher impact weapon that is somewhat quick for attacks work better for my tatics

I found a pretty surefire way to cheese every fight, just follow these simple steps!
1: Bait the enemy into an attack while you backpeddle
2: Wait until they complete an attack sequence with an obvious opening at the end
3: Dash in, use your quickest attack (usually the dash forward move) then dash back
4: Repeat until the enemy is dead

Pro tip: If there are two or more enemies just dash in without provoking an attack then dash out, it's usually quick enough anyway.

I was using either heavy duty or single rigged weapons for most of the game and this works.
Now you might be thinking "but that sounds really cheesy and boring and I want to use my full moveset and combos!" to which I'd say yes but tough luck because this is the only way to not get hit.

1 In your first run, always keep your gear up to date. I often see people with basic upgrades trying to face much stronger enemies.
2 Pay attention to what your enemy drops (what MK components) You might find some are higher then others and worth farming on. Like the two Guards that you talk about. They are a MK III enemy, in an area with mostly MK II material.
3 Read the tooltips in the medbay and assembly unit. Aslo a thing many poeple forget that can help a lot.
4 You are not forced to use ane weapon tipy. Try them all out, or even mark two different weapons as your favorite. It will help against some enemies.

Wow thanks guys, ill give all your suggestions a go. Hopefully itll get me a lil further down the line.

One guy mentioned the dash attack already, but another to remember is the slide. Any enemies the dash attack doesent seem to work well on, the slide will. The slide is also ultra homeing, meaning even if the enemy tries to attack you and walks past you while your sliding, Warren will do a little 180 and still hit your target. Not only that but sometimes the slide makes enemies miss because the attack goes over warrens head lol. AND the slide charges more energy then the dash attack as well as doing more damage. So yeh, try the slide. Slide to win for life.

[Knin3]

I actually do the slide to begin my 4 move combo, whats the dash attack? Just hold the button?

[Dave_Jame]

Dodge forward towards the enemy and light attack. Do this from a slight distance. I personally like it more than the slide, you have more control over it.

One thing you can try to think about (though it's a bit advanced) is to switch limb targetting. Start your combo with your dash/slide/quick attack on an unarmored part, which staggers the enemy. Then you can immediately switch targetting to the armored part you wish to cut, and go into a full special combo (things like horizontal x2 vertical and vertical x2 horizontal, changes by weapon and also which limb you target.)

By the time they recover from your initial stagger, your big hits in the combo break their stability again, often letting you go right into a finisher and grabbing you the part you want. Personally I find this method is way better than only doing dash attacks and also way more fun, but it requires a bit better knowledge of your weapon combos and enemy tendencies.

Finishers are extremely useful in this game. They make you invincible for the whole animation, protecting against swarming hordes, and add a multiplier onto xp until you use medichair/die. Materials from enemies are very useful for upgrading your gear. Eventually when you get the aggression implant you can life steal a lot every time you perform finishers as well.

Ive got the aggression implant, that worth using then?

[Knin3]

Thing is im sorta got nowhere to go in this level im core 36 n need 60 to open next door, thatll take me ages, should I go past the 2 police man which is the only way im yet to go

[Dave_Jame]

you can finish the game on CP 10. where are you, you just might missed a hint

[Knin3]

level 2

[Dave_Jame]

hint: do you know where the 2nd train station is? The one to the Creo world DLC? There is a big bridge soon after the stair that lead to it. Follow the path behind it and it should take you to the 2nd boss

The aggression implants are very good if you are trying to land lots of finishers.

It lets you get more scrap/body parts as opposed to using the energy to healing implant, though I often use both as the situation demands.

You don't have to fight the security officers for quite a while (like almost 10 hours.) though they have some really nice armor + staff if you manage to beat them. They won't respawn after you kill them though, so you only get 1 shot per guy.
