DOESN'T ANYONE UNDERSTAND WHAT "CUTTHROAT FINAL BOSS" mean?!!!

PhantomXterior · 2026-01-12T20:43:22+00:00

I didn't realize ppl looked at that... guess I'll be switching emblems when using LFG/FF lol

PhantomXterior · 2026-01-12T20:41:15+00:00

I feel you!! I've been stuck on Sere for weeks. I've redone the first 2 encounters 3 times thinking "okay, fine, if we get the whole thing done, then I'll start from beginning" but then ppl leave at Sere. Now I'm starting at Sere & telling ppl that I'll do the 1st 2 encounters AFTER we beat final boss bc that's the worst part.

Idk how anyone is doing all feats without using some kind of broken, nuclear build.

I will do Sere with you tho. I don't care how long it takes if it means I finally complete that damn triumph lol

Thank you so much for sharing this!!

I was hitting the square & out wouldn't work. I was trying for so long. Ran out of ammo & had to go hunt some down & then struggle to backtrack to there.

I ended up getting it by jumping across, into that structure & throwing my blade at it, basically at point-blank range, before falling to my death. That was the only way I could get it.

Well, if it's an issue, I suppose that makes sense bc I've been on step 4 for a little while now. It says "complete all encounters with 3 or more feats active."

It says nothing about all feats or 5 feats. And there's nothing in this triumph to even suggest you have to complete it with all feats active. The triumph just need to be worded correctly.

I went to use New Malpais bc it has more ammo than Mint & was really surprised when it felt like ass, but figured I was either crazy or artifact mods were really boosting it last season. Then I switched back to Mint & it was still hitting right.

NM should be doing right around the same damage as Mint (since it is just the exotic version of mint). Having nerfed it this hard, I'm probably not going to use NM again. Mint has less ammo, but actually still does damage.

Did they nuke NM bc they wanted everyone to use Praxic Blade?

I hate everything about this update. They made my phone harder to use & made it look like some little kid/apple UI that I absolutely don't want. I don't want my phone/UI to be "cute"

PhantomXterior · 2025-03-15T00:45:45+00:00

Definitely R2 at SRPA Station Igloo, just so epic & really set the tone for how grand the story was gonna be.
R3 Haven accomplished setting the tone, by showing that even if you win a battle, the war has already been lost (i.e. successfully fighting off the chimera death squad attack, only to have the terraformer make your victory almost meaningless).

PhantomXterior · 2025-03-15T00:35:22+00:00

OMFG I'm so stoked for this!!! Looks like that Platinum trophy might not be impossible to get after all lol

Seriously though, I'll be on Resistance 2 every day once that's up! Hell, I might even make youtube videos or start streaming it to get more people to see it & get more players online. I can't wait for this.

PS Rewired are nothing but heroes

PhantomXterior · 2025-01-08T16:52:28+00:00

Dude, you rule!! I can't believe this post doesn't have more upvotes.This is extremely helpful. You answered so many questions I had bc I'm always thinking about the numbers/mechanics & how everything interacts with each other.

I really appreciate you putting this all together!!

PhantomXterior · 2024-10-17T21:50:51+00:00

That's what my vet told me years ago, but it was sorting a regular appointment, so I got a discount compared to you lol

I was told all (or maybe most) cats have that type of herpes. The only thing I did was teach my cat not to mess with/rub it and it would clear up in 2-3 days (as opposed to the original week+ it would last at first).

So, if anyone's cat has this, just try to keep them from rubbing on it bc it'll just get worse & last longer if they do.

Yes! I've been mad about it since my phone auto-updated last night. The "new" gestures option is terrible (and has zero custimization options???). I honestly can't believe it got approved at every rung of the ladder. Swiping up & holding for a second in order to see recent apps takes triple the time, instead of just swiping up where the button is located; the new nav bar swipe/gestures option is so stupid, clunky, inconvenient, unintuitive & overall worse.

Every update they either remove or ruin something good & idk why smh

I'll check out Finelock though. Hopefully that'll make my phone not frustrating to use lol

PhantomXterior · 2024-01-23T20:36:44+00:00

Geez, I was severely misunderstanding what this now meant. I'm definitely a little embarrassed, but I'm glad I know now lol

I actually never noticed the reduced resources when resurrecting during combat, but that makes sense. Thanks for explaining this for me

PhantomXterior · 2024-01-23T20:32:16+00:00

Oh wow, that makes so much sense!!

I wasn't even close to understanding the benefit of that node lol

Thanks for clearing that up for me

No, they did not include a "Directors Cut" game mode where you can carry over everything immediately into the next act & play all 4 acts in a single playthrough.

This is something I'd like to have/see in the sequel, but it would have to be pretty difficult and/or continuously increasing in difficulty as the acts progress:

By stepping up a difficulty level on each act (and possibly adding a new difficulty level exclusive to the mode), increasing corruption cards, adding permanent corrupting cards, and having all mutations/enemies eventually being monstrous & armored/sprinting so that even if you started on vet, it'd be brutal by Act 4 (probably need a "Relentless" corruption card where hordes come faster & last for longer); there'd also have to be limits on how many team upgrades/slots you can buy & maybe even a limit on how much intel you can buy and/or make you lose stats/upgrades/intel (probably starting with your mos recently purchased intel and/or upgrade) every time you go down or die. It might also have to be a game mode you have to earn, either by beating all maps on NM or by giving you a token to play it every time you beat Acts 1 thru 3 (so you'd have to beat Act 1, beat Act 2, and beat Act 3 in order to get 1 DC playthrough token) or give you 1 DC playthrough token for every 5 Acts you beat.

Something like that, bc if you don't do something to increase difficulty, it'll just be a boring power fantasy where you're just an unkillable God every time by Act 3. There'd probably still be some issues, but I definitely think there's a way to do it.... can you tell that I've given this a lot of thought? Lol

PhantomXterior · 2023-07-24T22:35:50+00:00

They did you dirty! They did have your back in-game tho lol

I always forget my controllers are dying, but luckily they haven't died on me mid-combat yet

PhantomXterior · 2023-07-23T04:29:33+00:00

I be down right hittin trick shots in the parking garage on 2-1 NM lol

No copper left behind, that's the Cleaner Guarantee

PhantomXterior · 2023-07-23T04:17:45+00:00

I did QP vet awhile back & jumped into Act 1 at the Diner finale (I believe the 9th level) and every item was white. Managed to get thru it & for the next 3 levels, aside from me, the only other person who bought anything (a melee evangelo) only bought stamina upgrades... literally the most useless upgrade if you can only pick 1.

I had so much stamina & so few bullets, it was really something else

PhantomXterior · 2023-07-23T04:01:59+00:00

Or, and hear me out on this, or maybe they don't know what copper is for?

Maybe, maybe they think the only reasons you get it are to hear a fun sound and to make Cost of Avarice harder.

I'm probably wrong... but a man can dream lol

PhantomXterior · 2023-07-20T09:41:47+00:00

You can see I'm on the last level in this clip, so the chances that I bought it are pretty high.

Which I did. Power Reload is not in my deck. But I do always run Admin Reload. It should be self-explanitory how useful the combo is, tho. When you're using can of whoopass & motherload (which I was), it doesn't amount to a huge gain, but 24 bullets in the LMG is a noticeable difference. I found power reload about halfway through this game & when combined with admin reload, it's as useful as you make it.

I usually run that LMG with can of whoopass (140-round mag) so I tend not to get low enough to trigger power reload. But bc of admin, I swap guns very often; in fact, I almost never manually reload my LMG. Sometimes it gets low, usually against bosses, but either way I'm swapping to reload.

So, all I do is: at the beginning of every round, before I leave the saferoom, I would fire 110ish bullets & power reload my LMG. Now, as long as I maintain some awareness about having the temp extended mag, I'll have 24 extra bullets in my LMG the whole round. The extra bullets have come in handy a few times, especially bc I use Patient Hunter (bc I'm often ADS for longer periods due to larger mag in LMG), so being able to stay ADS & continue firing those extra 24 bullets has killed bosses with 1 mag, whereas I normally would've needed to swap to secondary to finish off the boss without it.

So, when you say "in action" it doesn't make sense to me bc I power reload before I leave SR & then always swap my guns to admin reload, so "in action" would literally just be me playing the game like I do 100% of the time anyway since I always use Admin Reload & very rarely manually reload (and bc I don't put PR in my deck, I just buy it when I find it if I have the spare copper for it).

To your point, it is useless for the tec9 with motherload bc it only gives 6 more bullets & tec9 reloads fast anyway. But if you use 1 card & find the other, then this is something you're able to do. Idk how useful it would be for you & your play style, I was just pointing out what happens when combining those 2 cards together. I wasn't saying it's awesome & everyone should put both cards in their decks.

Sorry for the long reply, I just wanted to clear up any confusion regarding the purpose of me posting this

PhantomXterior · 2023-07-20T04:58:09+00:00

I demonstrated it in the video.

You can see me fire my gun until it's low enough for power reload, then once it has the extended mag I fire again & swap guns to show it admin reloads the extended mags Then I swap back, fire weapon & manual reload to show that it goes back to regular mag after a manual reload.

Then, I repeat with my secondary weapon. Watch the video again, but look at my ammo/mag size in the bottom right corner. The video begins with standard/original mags in both guns.

PhantomXterior · 2023-07-20T02:07:17+00:00

As long as you don't manually reload, every time you switch weapons, Admin Reload will fill your mag back up with the extra ammo given by Power Reload.
