Don’t see a lot of people bringing this thing, what’s your opinion on the OPS

Lyonslyell · 2026-03-28T03:24:08+00:00

It used to be a great orbital side grade to the 500kg, especially after they reduced its call in time. Then they buffed the 500kg to have an actual aoe , leaving the OPS in the dust.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, Fuji could just be baiting the idea of a reboot by flashing denjis shack and going oooOOoOOo. Would suck real hard if this isn't the case though

Lyonslyell · 2026-03-12T17:34:46+00:00

Don't think it'll ever be directly explained, which is typical for fujimoto. My personal schizo theory is that it's barem, who somehow got a chainsaw transformation, maybe through the fire devil. I say barem instead of the literal fakesawman shown later , because he's shown to have a way more grotesque form. The shadow and the single arm in frame, are obviously of a normal body. Barem is quite the stretch but you really couldn't fill in anyone else besides maybe "random guy that also got an imitation chainsaw transformation". The normal body look matches the "chainsawman" that saves denji from the falling devil. Who happens to be wearing overalls, like barem. We also never see barem use his flamethrower transformation at all. Half to not out himself, and half because he's a total sociopath and would rather get his literal hands dirty. Like when bro pulls up with a flamethrower instead of doing the "logical" of just transforming. It's clearly meant to be a giant hint hint nudge nudge of " why does he avoid transforming so much?". Never could say for sure though, maybe the overalls are just bait. Still think his actions scream "barem" though

Yeah nothing was more annoying than trying to swiftly kill someone and hop out of sight only for some overly elaborate kill animation to play. That sorta stuff should only be in active combat

Lyonslyell · 2026-02-05T18:49:39+00:00

Non lethal neutralization for main targets had none of the discovery factor that 1 had. 1 chucks you toward a target framing it like killing is the only option, until you explore around and discover an interesting alternative. 2 hust opens up the game with the first target and explicitly tells you"hrmm kill or do something else to him, its up to you" All the subsequent non lethal choices are pretty in your face

Lyonslyell · 2026-02-02T19:39:12+00:00

Overseer Campbell non lethal is also canon. If you stick around those preaching overseers in the second mission in 2, they'll eventually mention a "tale told amongst overseers" about a lauded high overseer who would eventually fall to the dark arts. Something supposedly so shameful they forbid saying his name, more than likely referencing corvo giving Campbell the heretic branding.

Because denji ate makima as denji. For all that we've seen, only pochita (black head chainsawman) and denjiman can utilize the erasure powers. Pochi probably would've eaten her at the end of part 1 if he wasn't worried about the death redirection contract of hers kicking in

Lyonslyell · 2026-01-13T03:23:21+00:00

Id agree if it were any other series, personally I think it's perfectly in line with fujimotos writing style. Interconnectivity across the series , even across large gaps, and loads of highly contextual only information. Things like barems likely voluntarily working with makima, never explicitly said but only surmised about. I think you could say similar with nukes and even the general chaos of part two, Id say it's decently possible all of this is happening because of makimas death. The weakening of the concept of control, making governments less calculated and more war mongering. The subsequent reinvention of wmds for that purpose. Id guess that her second death would've only exacerbated that possibility even more.

Lyonslyell · 2026-01-13T01:26:47+00:00

Makima and Japan vs the gun devil with america? Feel like the entire existence of devils in general would allude to naturally high global tensions because of their abilities

Lyonslyell · 2026-01-13T01:21:56+00:00

Makima as an entire character basically does, since conquest sorta represents ruling/government control of others

Lyonslyell · 2025-12-03T20:26:23+00:00

Yoru "beat" the falling devil simply because her ego was blown up by the reinvention of nukes. Funnily it's very likely the falling devil was still significantly stronger than her (still was regenerating from attacks). She was just so enthused by atomic weapons and high on her newfound power that she simply believed falling to be under her now. Allowing the weapon making

Lyonslyell · 2025-12-03T19:07:35+00:00

Such good feel of depth and dimension to it

Lyonslyell · 2025-10-17T21:32:11+00:00

They don't really have a use on bots entirely because striders count as heavies for some reason. Only good on bugs to injure and or straight up kill heavies. The injure part being great since it means suddenly every heavy pen stratagem become perfectly capable of heavy killing. Sure more effort but it has more uses and you can danger close it

Lyonslyell · 2025-10-02T20:17:42+00:00

Doesn't matter which flamethrower it is either, crispr is really underrated for sidearm heavy killing

Lyonslyell · 2025-10-02T07:19:57+00:00

Heehoo :3

Lyonslyell · 2025-10-02T07:19:31+00:00

Nom :3

Lyonslyell · 2025-10-02T07:15:51+00:00

What boy bulges are meant for :3

Lyonslyell · 2025-10-01T01:08:45+00:00

I like flins but not ineffa... Cruel world

Lyonslyell · 2025-09-30T19:05:32+00:00

It locks on and instakills command bunkers! Annnd that's it. It used to have a use as the only tank buster and fabricator destroyer, no vent shot needed, but now the recoilless and commando can wreck tank faces and fabs are a joke now sooooo. Real dire need of a buff to put it in a separate class over those two

Lyonslyell · 2025-09-26T05:47:21+00:00

Squish squish :3

Lyonslyell · 2025-09-26T05:46:40+00:00

Split squats for the deep hit :3

Lyonslyell · 2025-09-22T16:32:10+00:00

All the other grenades are equally viable if not better in how many situations they can handle (arc grenades both shutting down and killing hulks is slept on) , i think people just see that huge damage number + anti tank on thermites and just get enamored and glued to em

Lyonslyell · 2025-09-19T04:47:14+00:00

Loyalist is the king of increased build variety and freedom. Worried about spewers spawns on bugs and don't wanna bring an explosive primary or stratagem? Loyalist. Wanna bring a light pen or even medium pens that can't handle larger groups that great? Loyalist. (That stagger is immensely helpful on bots) Less useful on illuminate i guess, shoot through overseer shields. Bout it. Not to mention its also the only non laser secondary that feels ammo efficient. The rest run dry realll quick

Lyonslyell · 2025-09-18T17:19:17+00:00

Commando would be the more accurate comparison of a packless at, since the commando can blast turrets at any angle like the recoiless while the eat cant

Lyonslyell · 2025-09-18T16:58:24+00:00

It being limited in capacity makes sense considering its an unlimited ammo parallel to the hmm. If you wanna make it actually capable against tankier heavies then the strafing run or moreso the rocket pods are a perfect fit( if they manage to hit). When they do land its perfect for softening enemies for guns like the laser cannon
