Best starting archtype? thinking about the starting traits

Seems as though there isn't a "best" weapon type, the pistol can stun-lock enemies, however a shotgun does a lot more damage, melee saves ammo. Every weapon seems to have it's advantages and disadvantages.

I've only played a few hours so far, but that's what I'm getting out of it right now.

Archetype is just for the starting gear and a specific trait and weapon mod.
Otherwise you can buy all the other stuff right from the shop. The only thing you really want to have is the trait, all the rest you can rebuy, no idea where you're able to get an option to get the other traits.

(Make a habit of breaking all breakable/wooden (shelves, crates, chairs) stuff, like the very first time you play, before you open up the crystal doorway, as after that it respawns all of those stuff in that starting area, can get lot's of scrap with the adventurer items)

Buy it, play it and see for yourself...

well, i'd like more info about that too. even on the official website i have none.
for example: why would i take a sword when it deal half the damage of the improvised melee weapon the "medic" have (i forgot all of thoses names god ...)

None of that matters is why you cannot find any info on it. You can literally buy every starting trait and armor set the moment you exit the selection menu.

You are only picking what set you want for free. That is it.

Smaller weapons are faster, also charge attacks are different for all weapons. Like the axe does a piroutte of two hits, while the hammer does aoe slam.

The archetype is just for the trait, and the rest is just free stuff that can be bought right away.

"whatever you find fun"


thats like asking what the best class to play is, healer tank or damage? oooh I dont know, and really its like a preference/meant to be fun not "how can I be the best thing ever and kill things as fast as possible"

If you are newer to the genre the Scrapper's heavy armor will keep you alive, and the shotgun is very powerful. Otherwise they are all good choices and you can buy the other archetypes gear from the Ward 13 vendor.

You can get the other traits through sidequests / dungeons. In the city will be a dungeon where you´ve to get into the hunters-hiding. There you´ll get the hunter trait. (shadowwalker)
I haven´t found the others yet.

The overall best trait is probably spirit.

Everyone starts with Vigor, Endurance, and Teamwork. Then each archetype else gets a unique one to start with, however they can be learned by other archetypes throughout the game so you are not locked out by your decision.

about power: does the healing power charge more quickly with weapon with high rate of fire? or slow ? (aka is it only based on % of total amo spent?)

i put it on my handgun because all weapon have 5% crit chance so using one were i can shoot more seems better. but i am concidering using the rapidfire pistol (or whatever the name of that full auto pistol is) .

so what would it be ? how does the power charging works? (i am also maxing out spirit)

Or you can just go to that real ♥♥♥♥♥♥ woman next to the guy that upgrades your stuff. She sells the 2 other traits plus others as your progress.
