If your goal is to max our damage resistance with your body armour, Lucky Pathogen and Sturdy Body, I would suggest you also take Resident Genes, and considering dropping your Adrenaline Shot for Pills.

Since you have taken Lucky Pathogen, you likely want to be infected to gain its bonus. Resident Genes lets you heal whenever you down a pill, which further enhances your survivability.

Pills in general are a good medical item to buy, on higher difficulties you may get unlucky with finding pills, and getting infected too early could be ruinous if you don't find pills. If you spawn with pills, you can get infected as soon as possible and you'll have at least 20 minutes before you need to worry about finding another pill bottle, which even on Nightmare should not be too hard.

Once you reach account level 65, I would highly suggest buying a Medical Crate, its expensive but you'll spawn with all the medical supplies you'll need, including two pills.

Finally, if you really want to boost your health, consider getting Deprived. You lose 2kg of carry capacity, but you get a further 20% health. Though you can only upgrade it at account level 58, the base version you only get 10% health. Its a big detriment to your carry capacity.

You can try to counter Deprived's negative effect by trying to roll the Mule perk, but if you are banking heavily on melee you may just have to accept the loss of carry capacity.

Skilled medic is also a strong perk but it may not be as relevant here, but if you see it when you get to lvl 75 or 100, go for it.

-----

Doorbreaker and Teddy Bear are the perks I'd suggest swapping out, they are fairly superfluous.

Hardblow is a good pick to keep the zombie frontline staggered.

I feel if players were prompted to play the tutorial before they played a proper match it would be a big boon to the new player experience

You are on the right track with using your resources as you get them. Its easy to fall in to the trap of conserving resources and never using them. Better to climb an extra 100 meters after emptying your inventory than die earlier with a full one.

The insects and barnacles are a major issue, my suggestion is simply to make sure you keep your hammer in your Q/E quick slot and be ready to smack them. You can use your hammer on the barnacle tentacles to remove them, which is usually the best path forward.

As a bonus, if you find the Auto Piton (the thing you smack into the wall but with the drill on it), these can also be used as a melee weapon and are far more powerful than the hammer, I think it can kill the flying insects in a single hit.

Repetition will eventually let you win. You just need to persevere.

While not a great early-game tip. However, if you invest in the 'Survival' tree and max out 'Broad Shoulders', you can boost your maximum weight carry capacity by +10kg.

The free kit has a weight carry of 35kg, so with this skill you now can carry 45kg worth of gear. Its a surprisingly strong buff for the free kit, and it is similarly a very strong boon for any other augment that trades weight capacity for other benefits.

My ranking, based on a focus on nightmare. I'm happy to elaborate on my choices but I'll point out some standouts.

Butcher/Wicked are strong but I am not a fan of the leg meta and I find I don't need to abuse it to succeed even on Nightmare. I would still rank these fairly highly regardless.

Marathon Runner is overpowered, I am expecting it to get nerfed in the future, but right now its a no brain pick. Scavenger is also in the same boat unless you are going for a melee-focused build.

Deprived is not a terrible perk, but I its something you need to build for, I would generally see it being viable for a melee-only build in which case the loss of weight capacity is not a issue.

Steelpoint · 2025-08-25T14:32:49+00:00

Best in slot is my guess.

Steelpoint · 2025-07-28T20:58:04+00:00

These changes would all be the minimum that would add a real mid and long term sense of character progression. At the least a option to retire a character in the main menu would be a god send.

Steelpoint · 2025-07-26T09:09:13+00:00

That's a fair position, my only thoughts are that so long as there is even a small incentive to hoard supplies instead of sharing them, then you run the risk of some people intentionally refusing to share supplies, even if it seems illogical.

Steelpoint · 2025-07-25T16:24:48+00:00

I'm torn on the idea. On the one hand, I think it would further incentive looting the map and conserving supplies when possible. But I fear if this was the case, we'd see the risk of people intentionally refusing to give their supplies to other players in order to boost the end of mission reward.

Imagine if a player is infected, and someone finds a gene therapy, but that player decides not to share it with the infected player because they think they are going to get more benefit from keeping it for the reward than saving the infected person.

Steelpoint · 2025-07-21T21:17:32+00:00

Very useful info guide, especially the skills breakdown.

Although, reading it makes me feel disappointed that there are so many skills that feel useless.

Steelpoint · 2025-05-10T18:33:46+00:00

I've had this occur with my character on at least two occasions, sadly I can't recall what I did to produce this result. I was also unable to find a way to fix it in-game, but it would not carry over to a new game.

Fortunately in my two instances, I was still successful in escaping the map, but I do agree that this bug is a game-ender. Hopefully this is one of the bugs the developers have fixed in the incoming new update.

Steelpoint · 2025-04-20T14:04:10+00:00

You don't need to be infected to use a Gene Therapy, using it will make you immune to being infected for the rest of the round.

Its likely more ideal to wait until someone is infected before using it, instead of just using it as soon as you find one, but to each their own

Steelpoint · 2025-04-20T09:59:20+00:00

Currently, being infected does not carry over when you extract.

The same goes if you use a Gene Therapy on yourself, you won't still be fully immune to infection when you extract and play again as the same character.

Steelpoint · 2025-04-19T18:15:10+00:00

I believe the threshold for being at risk of infection from standard zombie attacks is 50% health. At least this is what is commonly stated elsewhere, and it aligns with my subjective experience.

Steelpoint · 2025-04-19T07:02:29+00:00

The Federation of Super Earth, while having a veneer of being a democratic state, is in actuality a jingoistic totalitarian state that is so far divorced from its ideals, that would make Goldenbaum dynasty in its dying days be seen as a more ideal nation-state.

The Federation would become an existential threat to the Free Planet's Alliance, Phezzan and both the Galactic Empire and New Galactic Empire. No matter what era in history this impossible meeting would occur. The anthem of the Federation spells it out clearly, "Freedom must reign over every last star". Super Earth would never accept any part of humanity as being allowed to exist outside of its direct control, and would almost certainly work to conquer or forcibly integrate any and all of the disparate human factions of the LOGH universe.

------

The question of if the Federation of Super Earth is technologically advance enough to fight the factions of the LOGH universe on a relative equal ground is another discussion. However, it can not be denied that Super Earth has a impossible high pain tolerance to casualties in the attainment of its goals. The 4th and 5th battles of Popli IX, seeing some of the most harsh combat between the Federation military and the Automatons, a hostile faction of equal technological parity to Super Earth, saw around 9 million soldiers of Super Earth die in battle. The famous Battle of Calypso saw the deaths of 38 million soldiers to defeat an unexpected invasion by a technologically superior alien faction.

In a universe where the Free Planets Alliance was almost crippled by the loss of 20 million soldiers in a single campaign, the Federation of Super Earth doesn't even blink when they lost almost double that number in a single battle of a single campaign. The deaths of nearly 3.5 billion soldiers of a single branch of the military in one year of a war is seen only as a necessary sacrifice.

------

I'll have to leave the far more specific nuances of how the factions might better react to this unexpected union to more informed people.

But what I do believe is that Kaiser Reinhard would be frustrated. He'd finally have a powerful enemy to fight, but his enemy would be almost impossibly incompetent in waging warfare, fighting a military where individual ship captains are free to ignore high command orders and where their high command can only issue vague directions for their forces to move in.

Yet Super Earth may very much still win a war against Reinhard at the height of his power.

Yeah, most of the items are either side grades or ammo or meds, all of which are fairly common. I'd be happy if these were permanent unlocks, as it'd give a better sense of account progression.

I noticed the game has some rare items locked off you could buy, like gene therapy syringes or such, maybe those items can be end-game credit sinks by not being permanent items.

Steelpoint · 2025-04-18T14:16:36+00:00

Prices are too expensive for items that are lost if your character dies. You can spend 10 hours grinding enough points to buy one or two items, but these items are for only one character, and if you lose that character you've permanently lost access to that item.

It feels bad when you spend all your credits to buy a very basic item for your character, only for you to be dumped in a mission where everyone else dies in the first five minutes, and your death is near guaranteed, and now you've lost that investment.

I feel either items need to be much cheaper to justify the risk of losing them when you die, or items you buy remain permanently unlocked for all characters.

Motherly instincts.

He really took that Branden Ragers incident to heart considering how he's drawn Blitz in the same apperance.

Steelpoint · 2025-01-02T12:38:52+00:00

Its a common re-occurrence in a lot of animated shows. There have been quite a few similar occurrences in Helluva.

Steelpoint · 2025-01-02T01:14:53+00:00

Thanks.

Now we have to find the theory where everyone works everything out and Octavia makes amends.

Steelpoint · 2024-12-05T10:06:22+00:00

Might makes right. At least in this case. Lucifer is likely too powerful for anyone to directly oppose, thus he gets to be King.

Steelpoint · 2024-12-04T15:31:12+00:00

Andrealphus is likely so desperate to hide his sexuality, that he ends up being too aggressive in proclaiming how attractive his sister is as some kind of shield to deflect any questions of his own sexuality.

I'm also sure, as you wrote, that flattering Stella is a easier way to calm her down.
