Enemies are freaking bullet Sponges!

[Esoteric]

I am just over a hour and a half in. Does it get better? Do our guns get stronger?

[Malakith`4f]

You can get better damage against armor. Other than that they don't really sponge much imo.

Cyber Doc in Wellspring can help you increase weapon damage.

Headshots are your friend. OH, and so are the firestorm revolver and dart gun..

Are people just really bad at games these days or something?

[Alexsupers]

if u want to play long range style..use hyper cannon to instantly remove all their armour then switch to assault rifle

The OP isn't wrong though especially on Ultra nightmare where they take entire mags to the face before dying while you die in two shots even with 5/5 constitution and almost every fight i've been in has been filled with nade spam. Maybe it gets better with upgrades but i have to clear these compounds out to get the resources for said upgrades lol, which makes it extremely frustrating as dying at any point in the compound even if there's only one enemy left forces you to have to do the whole thing over and over and over again.

So far i'd say the first RAGE was a better game.

ULTRA NIGHTMARE is a different game altogether, You MUST use a ton of patience and long range pick them off one at a time. If you go in there like RAMBO, you're gonna die. Well, at least until there are only a few left. They will in fact die instantly with a perfectly placed headshot.

Exactly and that's not always a good thing
>They will in fact die instantly with a perfectly placed headshot
I've noticed that if i hit someone square in the middle of the nose i get a headshot but if i hit the forehead, chin, sides of head, anything other than the nose then the rounds just seem to go straight through without being recognised.
> If you go in there like RAMBO, you're gonna die
Not all the time, i've managed it through sheer persistence and once i got double dash and grav jump it became more doable.

A question though, how should i handle these sentry towers? I was waiting till i got double dash until going for the level 3 ones but they seem utterly ridiculous.

I did fail to mention I RARELY use overdrive, as it's so OP. I meant going in like Rambo without Overdrive can be suicidal in ULTRA setting. As for sentrys.. CLOAK is best with hyper cannon. I have a video but it's game+ stacked.. you'll get the idea though...Level 10 sentry on Ultra is a task..
