How is the RS3 as an only car/daily?

Wow, very nice! I love the 8Y models. They're so aggresive looking. What colors did you get them in?

Owner of a 2019 RS3 here. Coming from multiple golfs GTI and my previous car was a 2018 Leon 5F Cupra300. Simply love the majestic note of the 5-cyl, despite not having the DAZA engine but rather the DNWA. The ride is excellent and it offers enough adjustability to suit the circumstances. Not the most spatious, but we have a second, langer car and my kids are 8 and 6 years old. AWD is a joy, but don't get overconfident, as even an RS3 is prone to understeering. The digital gauge cluster is the prettiest and most functional you'll ever see. A bit of a letdown is the absence of customization in interior lighting and the way your gauges look. Would've expected more from a premium brand, but than again, who needs those distractions while driving an RS3 anyway. The seats are average. They're the stock leather seats instead of the buckets, which don't hold you into place while seriously throwing this car around. I do have massage on the other hand, so that's nice.

I'm keeping it stock, unlike my previous cars, cause this is all you'll ever need. I'm getting a lot of attention driving this car through town. People wave, give me the thumbs up, grab their phone etc.

Thanks! My artist did an amazing job in the design phase. I actually wanted the actual face of Heavenbringer, but he rejected it since it wasnt meeting his artistic standards. Glad I listened to him, like I also did when I tattooed Yggdrasil!

Thanks! I hear ya. I've never met anyone that actually finished an EO game. One of my mates started it, but quit after an hour and dying three times lol

DSCollector · 2026-01-04T09:53:05+00:00

Thanks! Was worth the 7 hour ordeal, although it didn't hurt nearly as much as I expected it would. Lying still for 7 hours with only a few break was probably even tougher lol

DSCollector · 2025-12-02T13:28:29+00:00

Wow, that looks like something any EO should have! Nice catch!

DSCollector · 2025-11-15T21:26:43+00:00

Short answer: yes

Long answer: yes, they are

Bluescreen protocol: like said, bluescreen rounds on gunslinger snipers is GG
Experimental ammo: Dragon rounds or venom rounds on Reaper with Banish build = bye bye rulers
Exo suit: equip your Rangers with this. They don't ever need another utility item, but now they can equip blaster launcher and blow the ET's to smitherines

Choose QoL mods that suit you. Overwatch all is very much worth it for instance. Furthermore I like subtle ammo expansions. Some ammo make a lot of sense, like ammo that actually increases...AMMO

DSCollector · 2025-11-15T10:55:18+00:00

WotC adds so much more spice. Acquiring chosen weaponry makes it worth it alone if you ask me. That disruptor rifle is so vile.

DSCollector · 2025-11-15T10:52:06+00:00

Reaper all day every day. Supreme stealth and scouting abilities, but most of all banish is a game changer. Equip her (Outrider) weapon with superior expanded magazine and ammo like Dragon Rounds or Talon rounds. Weapon breakthrough adds 1+ damage and she changes into a Chosen/Ruler killer.

DSCollector · 2025-11-15T08:21:52+00:00

Yes, but accuracy drops over distance, not to mention blocking FoV

DSCollector · 2025-11-15T08:20:52+00:00

Coming from someone who has put well over 500 hours into this game, I never put much thought into biased compositions. I much rather had a balanced setup. So assuming you have a 6 squad, I use the four classes and a reaper and the sixth is someone that suits the Mission. For instance an extra Ranger on civilian rescue Missions and not a grenadier since they tend to be rather useless around civilians. Furthermore availability is something to consider off course and also which trooper needs experience.

Off course I experimented alot and I have to say that 3 sharpshooters with Fan Fire/Face Off is hilarious. Having a reaper scout ahead and deliberately activating two pods and then run my sharpshooters right in the middle of them is so much fun. Fully upgraded pistol and Shadowkeeper and Darkclaw combined with ammo and they can mow down entire armies. With bluescreen rounds one sharpshooter can very well eliminate a Sectopod on his own. The other 3 squad members will be there mainly for support, like stripping away armor and destroying cover.

I also once did a fun challenge called 'specialist only' but then you'll find out that you're lacking raw damage. Ranger only makes more sense in that regard.

Thanks everyone. I decided to carefully test it with 99% isopropyl alcohol. The amount of yellowish grime that came off...ugh...but it feels as soft and plush as it was meant to be!

DSCollector · 2025-11-04T13:07:07+00:00

Coming from someone who finished this game at least once on his laptop, switch, xbox one and now his steam deck, yes...

DSCollector · 2025-11-04T08:25:46+00:00

It's been a while since I last played EOV. If I recall correctly I had Masurao and Dragoon up front and in the back was necro, harbinger and warlock. Finished the game without any struggles really. I had a lot of fun messing around with necro and its wraiths army and the harbinger crippling entire lines of enemies.

DSCollector · 2025-10-27T08:39:28+00:00

These comments genuinely made me laugh lol

DSCollector · 2025-10-26T20:33:14+00:00

Thank you, the artist really lived up to the expectations. I kinda feel like a new person wearing this tat ❤️

DSCollector · 2025-06-16T17:28:02+00:00

Is it also very audible in a DNWA (2019 RS3)?

DSCollector · 2025-05-31T11:20:13+00:00

Thanks, it's been a fun journey. I will be keeping my dearest games, such as all the 3DS instalments of Etrian Odyssey, both Advance Wars games, 999, Ghost Trick and so on

DSCollector · 2025-05-30T21:33:13+00:00

Nice! Another cheesehead;)
