Weapon and Amp COMBOS (Combinations)
So in this game there are a LOT of possible Weeapon / Amp combinations. I have been thinking about them quite a bit, and a few thoughts are provided below.

So first, what not to do: The first weapon that I bought was an altered version of the record gun that I already had. Looked cool, I liked the base weapon, but the alternate version was actually a lower level to start with and slightly less powerful at that point. No other save game to revert to.
Overchange spent. Oops.

So, with other weapons, I've tried to maximize the effectiveness / fun factor. In short, my strategy is to try to maximize the mayhem that results. Again there are a LOT of possibiliities, so it may depend on your particular play style. Here are ideas that I have enjoyed:

--TNTeddy + Bear Force One: An obvious good start, but an even better combination is...
-Hairspray Bomb + Bear Force One : Talk about mayhem, it can annihilate large groups of OD vry effectively.

--Flaming compensator + Winter is Coming: You'd think that using freeze with a fire-based weapon would nullify the effects of both. And you'd be wrong. Works great on Herkers to both set them ablaze and freeze them in place.

--Dirty Harry + Burn Baby Burn: An excellent way to put down Herkers. Also this weapon at higher levels is exceedingly effective against bosses. At lower levels is is absolutely deadly against Scabs.

--AKFU + Fear the Reaper: This just annihilates groups of Scabs. Great alternative to Dirty Harry if there are large groups of Scabs.

--Acid Sprinkler + Hater: This is really great for Night Defense. Can use to cause choke point and both poison OD and turn them against eadh other. Also really great against Robots.

--Murderrang + Recycler: This is a lot of fun, particularly against large groups of Robots. Imagine the guy from the 1980s movie "Krull" but with many more flying return-to-sender weapons. In short, it is cool.

--Fizzco Rifle + Stun: A whole lot of electricty against Robots. Works great. Another possibility would be to use Shocker weapon, or perhaps Shield Buddy, but Fizzzco Rifle is just fun.

--Freeeze Bomb + XP Quicker-- No amp needed, just freeze anything big or that can be a problem.

--Roman Candle + Twist of Fate: Big chance of causing a small nuclear explosion. Awesome against large groups of OD of scabs, or on Night Defense, but this is so fun it's hard not to just use for everything. Bear Force One is an alternate amp, but Twist of Fate is just awesome.

So those are my favorites. Keep in mind that there is NOT any Right or Wrong here, it just depends on your personal style. Everything about this game is Punk Rock, meaning that it's all about what you like and not what's popular. But still, it's WAY more fun to *not* waste the Overcharge on lesser items, IMo.

Please feel free to provide any other ideas below. What combos to do *you* prefer?? Click if you enjoyed!

P.s.: There also exists a beam weapon that costs 100,000 overcharge, but darn it that is just something you should get after you beat the game. Just too expensive compared to all the fun you can have with other weapons. Enjoy the Awesomepocalypse!!
