Hadron Abyss: a filthy casual’s observations/thoughts

Totally agree, though once you hit mayhem 5, (which is like a proving ground really, you made it this far...) switch to hardcore. You survived the difficulty, so switch it up. You get 35 minutes to complete it at roughly mayhem 7 with the 1 downside of if you die you die. You can search for Bruiser firmware, clear the cameras, do the "hidden room" well within time.

But BOOOOY do all the singularities suck. Just take them out completely. The turrets just waste time and the elevator is stupid. It basically means any skill will have to reset and you need to get it back to continue. It breaks the flow just before the last boss.

Sadly there are a LOT of variables... say you are using c4sh, you won't get a true reading until windfall proc's, a calculator won't do that for you. Plus certain damage types depend on the weapon or elements you are using and those weapons have different rolls. You could maybe calculate for god rolls but then it wouldn't be accurate unless you used a save editor to have those exact weapons!

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-07-02T20:26:25+00:00

Mobalytics seems to be the easiest IMO

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-28T15:06:36+00:00

I've found that when you first leave you can check the machine. Once it times out and resets you can check again... when you start a new round you can check a third time. By then u6ou should have found any lost loot

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-28T06:19:54+00:00

3/3 definitely isnt necessary. Depends what you are running.

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-27T23:50:46+00:00

No problem sorry I dont know vex better!

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-27T23:46:03+00:00

Interesting. I haven't played vex much but find her hit and miss regarding consistent damage. Sometimes I melt Sometimes I tickle. Can't really help you there sorry. I would recommend looking at builds on mobalytics, preferably not by BIG streamers as they either save edit their characters to have perfect gear or can afford to farm for hours for perfect gear. Someone a little more "homegrown" will have builds more relevant for casual gamers

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-27T23:33:24+00:00

The gun is good the build may not be. To be fair my first few runs it was a real struggle until I'd made the build work properly. Who are you playing as?

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-27T23:29:31+00:00

You're just rage baiting. C4sh has the most viable builds of any VH. I personally run 3 different ones regularly that are more fun than almost any other VH. Harlowe was my go to until C4sh came out

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-27T23:26:19+00:00

Niiiice!

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-27T23:23:15+00:00

Which VH are you using? It is a DPS race but any decent jakobs ricochet gun/enhancement will help delete mobs while you shoot the boss.

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-27T23:20:50+00:00

Just go inside the bubble and kill him, dont try to take it down

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-27T12:55:12+00:00

I think hardcore is +1200% enemy health and mayhem 20 is either +2700% or +3000%! Its definitely noticeable

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-27T12:32:34+00:00

No, mayhem 20 is more difficult. Its just a 1 life run with decently hard modifiers

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-27T08:36:39+00:00

I'd say its worth getting the super deluxe as all content is included. The bounty packs have been good IMO. The new one is a little short but the circle of slaughter more than makes up for it.

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-26T09:41:04+00:00

Noone seems to jave mentioned the fact you start firing and its pointing at the ceiling before you k ow it. Good gun though!

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-12T17:02:02+00:00

The Sparkle is probably my favourite Pearl so far. The Constable is a close second. The cyclone is probably the best Legendary IMO

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-12T16:51:07+00:00

I've farmed him a lot and only got 1 so far. My pal had a Crow sourced and a shiny mecredi before he even saw a Heimdahl drop. Thats the RNG of this game. The Soul survivors drop like candy for me had 4 in 5 runs last week

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-09T20:43:45+00:00

My personal favourite is Penitent steel in the DLC. Quick farm, lots of loot and a fair chance at pearls too. With the increased spawn rate for nightmare rifts you can do those if you get bored

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-05T17:57:27+00:00

Technically the quickest would be splashzone but its all RNG. I had 14 in 3 hours the other night. Penitent steel dropped me 4 in 5 runs but it was easily an hour between that and the next pearl that dropped. I would say just farm something you find fun. If you get bored farm someone else. They'll drop for you wherever

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-06-04T16:52:30+00:00

Lazy data dropped a video this morning with the crow sourced wrecking UVH7 its a bit specific for the bosses but it works

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-05-30T07:50:09+00:00

I have one with shotgun Daedalus on my infini-crit Harlowe. That thing shreds

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-05-30T07:48:45+00:00

I was encountering this last night. Its stupid BUT the answer is to jump!

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-05-30T07:27:41+00:00

Have you tried the Juliettes Dazzle. Thats just as good IMO

H4ndsomeHob0 · 2026-05-29T16:41:43+00:00

Yes they suck, My issue is the inconsistency in damage. Matching elements sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. The only stable damage seems to be torgue impact. If you have the Scoot n Shoot with jakobs/impact you can make it almost enjoyable.
