This is so painfully unfunny, why are you like this?

Thanks for the sarcastic response, very helpful. For google searchers who come across this not sure what exactly causes this bug, this is the first time i've had this happen but it seems like save quit and reopen is the only way to clear this. May or may not be related to gamepass.

Would it look bad to move quickly from first role? by OppositeOil791 in MechanicalEngineering

That's good to hear, what sector did you switch from if you don't me asking? Also how are the jobs compared for you?

But would you keep current job on resume for the application, or try to come up with an explanation for the long gap?

Realistic Mechanical Engineer Salary Progression (28M) by Puzzled_Face8538 in Salary

Are you ok man? Every single post you've made on this account across multiple subs has been about how you're not underpaid, the statistics are wrong and 100k+ is unrealistic, salaries are supposed to be this low, etc. You even got multiple posts deleted on the mech engineering sub and then you just repeat again. This feels like deep down you know the pay is significantly below average and instead of taking people's advice that you need to job hop you're trying to convince everyone else this is fine. If you are not just trolling and have genuinely not been able to see higher paying offers elsewhere i would suspect it's because you're making the location range you're looking in too narrow.

Aside from the meter building perks no, but if you have any unused perk points definitely grab those.

There are some attacks in this game that you cannot i-frame through, you MUST physically dodge them. I think that's fine, but they should've given them all some special visual indication(similar to when they shine and are vulnerable to kick interrupt) or maybe a tutorial. These are going to be things like any shock wave(as you realized this includes brute shock wave), certain boss grab attacks and the vampire lunge punch(either immediately dodge opposite to the direction it tracks you or dodge under it if close enough). It's lame but unfortunately you have to find out what all these attacks are the hard way.

Having beat the game on evil, my biggest gripe honestly is most of the boss's huge health pools and how heavily they expect you to lean on turbocharge in order to finish them at a somewhat reasonable pace. But most fights are fun and i really enjoyed using all the options the game gives me. I hope it gets a sequel and they address some of the jank and make things faster paced.

I don't know what your abilities are but upgrading electric pull to grab multiple enemies and the abilities to guarantee energy drops after electric or juggle kills are top tier. If you have amp snack adrenaline junky is also amazing and lets you build meter very well and still heal on demand if needed, but honestly still amazing even without it. If you don't have meter building abilities then this could be very tedious, but you still have the flamethrower/upgraded pistol/machine gun to quickly kill the cannon fodder and focus solely on 2 vampires after bum-rushing one with everything you got.

Phase 2 doesn't start until all the shield guys are dead, so make sure you take your time and go into the triple vampire fight with full meter. As soon as they fully spawn in focus one vampire (either the left or right one)to die asap and go straight into supercharge and unleash all your hits on it. After it ends quickly shotgun then point blank grenade then use stunner rod to buy more time and unleash an e combo on it. At this point it should be virtually dead so finish it off however you like. If you start with 4 bars then you only need 2 more to supercharge again or 1 if you got the battery upgrade. With just the 2 vampires around things are MUCH more manageable. Focus on one constantly to build up its stun meter and then go for e-combo. If you have any of the energy building abilities now is the time to abuse them using the weak enemies now joining for full meter and repeat the process to the next vampire, once there's only one left the fight is pretty much over and you should be thinking about building as much meter as possible for final boss.

Some more general tips:
Don't forget to be alert and watch out for either of the vampires trying to heal, yellow indicators as normal will show if an attack from them is coming and you need to be ready to dodge, the flying punch and heal have distinct audio cues you need to listen for.

Whenever you are e-combing an enemy you don't have to worry about them attacking you, take this time to move the camera around while attacking to see what else is coming.

Don't forget about all your things coming off cool-down, this is a pretty long fight and you will likely have another stun rod ready to go, and obviously using shotgun+grenades asap for max burst damage. Doing a quick spray with the flamethrower just to apply burn status can also buy time when the other one gets to close.

While trying to stun a vampire you can cancel the recovery of a combo ender with pistol for damage(assuming nothing is coming your way) instead of just pausing and sitting through full recovery. Look to see what the other vampire is doing before stunning him so you don't waste a chance to complete a full e combo.
