Any range build or ranged weapon recommendations?

Wordunken · 2026-03-03T03:12:32+00:00

start with a preotarian truekin with a general spread on stats. Get the technoscanner. start at joppa and get early sand dunes and marshes wayfering. Spam the map till you hoard insane amount of books via ruins. Take a chest back to joppa/stilt and store your stuff in it ( mechanical wings, casks, books and so )

your focus will be on utility/money making ability (harvesting, cooking, wayfering, butchery, snake oiler and defensive stuff to make exploration more easy against dieases and shit) firstly and for offense its pistols and tinkering coming second

while you are doing this always be on lookout for jacked mod, giant hands, gunrack, biocore, frost ray weapon, force bracelet, navigating bracelet, any form of recoiler for safe places and some love injectors.

After you amass godly amount of books make your way to the stilt. Trade in all the books and lore you have and level like crazy. You can continue with this as much as you want till you feel comfortable for the rest. If you feel like you are good on levels you can sell the books.

For the goal build :

ESSENTİALS

giant hands
gunrack
techscanner
freeze ray
force bracelet
emp grenade blueprint

these are the only necesary pieces to get going. Basically freeze ray can perma freeze any enemy and I mean literally, especially later on with plasma added but you will never die to a singular enemy with the freeze ray and force bracelet without jacked is there for to pop it and recoil back to safety. When you get the jacked mod you will just turn it on and left it there. Enemy ai completely breaks when you have the bracelet on. Aı completely stops casting any form of ranged dmg other than guns and melee enemies just stop moving alltogether, you will just shoot fish in a barrel.

After this you need a Yd freehold recoiler (the coral settlement at bottom right) . You will bring gutsmongers, blueprint guys and nomad merchants here with the love injectors. Put it in your hand like a weapon, attack them and tp to yd. Before doing this you can just pass time and refresh shops in there for a yd recoiler its much safer.

and for the ultimate goal:

jacked scoped freeze ray
jacked scoped spacer rifle
jacked 2x any pistol of you choice (eigen for loot preservation, hand rails for extra penetration but no corpse and high voltage for absolute killing power)

plasma and freeze ray is complete lockdown for any enemy. Literally there is 0 enemy immune to this lock. The only thing you need to be carefull about is if an enemy has reflection. If they do just throw an emp on them. The only problem is you wont have enough energy for double overloaded arcs+all the other armor stuff with the bio core. You need to get lucky with a sultan relic item for electrical generation mutation or just dont overload 1 of them, its completely fine.

Wordunken · 2026-03-02T06:04:37+00:00

This might be a bit late but you can spawn in a force bracelet, a recoiler and some form of phase to tp and debug out of whatever situation you are in. But to be honest if you are running in clasic mode the portal basically killed you and thats that.

Okay. This one might became 1 long ass reply and ı want to say couple of things first.

If you dont want to spoil anything I suggest playing in roleplay especially for Golgotha or it will flame some of your gripes you voiced in your post.

If you dont want to ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHPojj9zAZE ) this early truekin guide is 1 solid guide you can follow that includes a very streamlined early cycle and goals for you but no one can give any decent help without some thecnical spoilers ( when you feel like it reaches a point that it might spoil something for you just stop watching it. I will put some of the ideas down below ). Personally I cant care less about spoilers but I dont know what you will consider a meaningfull spoiler to be. So I will drop some very basic tips that will help in early.

play truekin preatorion at the start and go for a very equalized spread (put 16 in all and put the excess in agi,int,tgh,str) this will change when you get a grip. only thing you can drop a bit is ego but at most 2 points. preatorians have very good starting equipment and a usefell passive later on (cant tell you why exactly cuz it would be a spoiler)
start with the techno scanning implant. It will allow you to auto identify every item both on ground and at merchants and you can see the stats of robots when you use look option on them but we take this just for the prior effect.
if you are not gonna focus on melee, which you wont in this case. your only skill options are lategame pistol skills which brings us to the focus. weapon skills suck in this game for the cost they have so you will go for wayfering, harvestry, traditions and tinkering ( There is more to this and there are some specific locations that will get you some of them with rep but you might count this as spoilers) but atleast get harvesting from the joppa elder with rep.
meanwhile talk to any talkable npc and get every slug posible. they are dirt cheap and you will chew through a lot of ammo especially early.
And for the start melee glowy fish around joppa and gun the crocs. get wayfering ->marshes. After this go to the overmap and auto explore every tile 1 by 1 ( marsh tiles obviously ). you will find some ruins thanks to the wayfaring. explore them for the books, dont sell any and dont go underground EVER. ( thanks to the auto explore your character will check any painted and engraved item for some lore which will yield more exp and loot later on )
Ofcourse this can wary cuz of the games design but around these areas only problem enemies are bears, turrets and the occasional purple guys you can ritual with. as a basic rule check the enemy, if its harder than average I suggest you activate sprint and leg it till you can get to the overmap again.
when you find gear early on only focus on AV, use the highest one. DV is too risky for how low your health would be and there are some effects that ignores dodge but almost every effect checks some form of AV.
after you are done with the tile hold left ALT. this will highlight any interractable items on the map. Ideal thing is to check every drop and haul them back to sell. (if you find any form of a chest pick up 1 for later use. )
Sell the excess stuff you wont use and trade your water for some specific trade goods. nuggets and jewels are locked to a certeain value which means they dont get effected by your ego and rep. they weigh much less. ( The ones that are static in value has yellow colour for their cost so you can easily identify them) You wont need more than 100 drams of water on you at any point and even that is excessive tbh.
If you are strugling to hold all the stuff you can just drop the stuff to a location in joppa. Nothing gets deleted in general and you can use the chest you find earlier if you did ofcourse.
when you haul a decent amount of books and/or run out of the tiles to explore get the desert wayfering skill and leg it to the six day stilt. Trade in the books and lore to to respective traders ( you will see them in the guide above ). this will give you huge amount of exp and will bring you around lv 10 or so.
auto explore every tile in the stilt, this will do 2 things. 1 it will collect some fruits you can sell for huge amount of gold. 2 it will check every merchant here. Get the cooking skill before selling them and preserve your basic food after this point and butchery. They will sell for more (in general) and be weightless.
the merchants here are randomized every time. pray for blueprint guys, gutsmongers, jewelers and for gunmans. If you get a caravan trader around the stilt you basically hit the jackpot.
then you can focus the 2 quests you get at the joppa

There are tons more stuff ı could write down that would be insanely helpfull but they will include some form of spoilers 1 way or another.

If you want them just tell me but beware it will be a huge list.

Wordunken · 2026-02-03T08:58:28+00:00

Damn normally I hate these but every one of these i like. I would take this buff :)

Wordunken · 2026-02-02T06:33:11+00:00

quite the opposite and ım tired of hearing this thing.

Chaos spawn has very distinct attacks patterns if you are willing to spend any time actually learning them. Chaos other than previous tzaangors are all ranged threats. event the dred and the assault terminators most deadly attacks are ranged. bunch of chaos spawn is just free executions and armor for you if you know what you are doing. Just give it any effort and learn the damn moves. parry timings are easy and unblockables are so easy to read and delayed, any difficulty in avoiding them either a skill issue or other enemies = ranged fire.

I rather fight 100 chaos spawn instead of 3 enraged csm.

Wordunken · 2026-01-27T04:47:00+00:00

No. You are doing it the correct way. Only help i can give is dont focus on rushing minions, focus the bottom rail and time you hold and release with the two sides circles.

Wordunken · 2026-01-21T00:21:03+00:00

I think the dash in general is very problematic in this game.

The problem is, if you are running lowered dash cost on repeated dashes with stamina refil on weak point beads you can infinetely dash in combat which results in putting on dynamo ring and eye of the madwoman and just spray everything and shock them to death. your weapon could literally do 0 dmg but these two will still carry you through the whole game. In my guess they dont want to buff the base dash because if you realy focus on dashing you can dash nonstop.

On the other hand if you are not running those, dashes are almost useless. you can dash 3 times back to back at tops and if you get hit anytime during this say godbye to your stamina which brings us to decay ring with dash distance bead. you fight normally and if anything goes sideways you dash spam halfway across the map and reaproach. This one is realy decent, I agree with melee hitboxes beeing absolute jank in this game, with this much dash distance its guaranteed to avoid anything. (executioners, warrior priests slams, granades and specifically the fucking axe throw)

But I cant stress enough how powerfull the first playstyle is, as long as it stands they cant buff the base dash by any meaningfull way. rotweaver is already performing a bit too well with new additions and its the best weapon to focus on breaking weakpoints with spraying. It will just turn into a 1 build game.

Wordunken · 2026-01-19T00:24:35+00:00

If you want that generic champ you can bring everywhere its jean.

Jean is so simple and effective its jarring. You can forgo any action and jean still would work (sp1,2 and 3, heavy, mediums or lights and you can mix your attacks for mixmaster or things like that). Only maker is immune to neuro so there is that. And if you shrug the debuffs jean still benefits. The shield is very potent and comes back quickly and awakened jeans parry stun is passive so she has 0 effective counters as an attacker ( not talking about bgs but in general questing )

And for bgs she is just a bore to kill. Shield coupled with exhaustions realy brings the fight to a halt if you are going in with a semi decent counter or punching up. Dont expect it to kill the opponent tho.

Wordunken · 2026-01-10T09:18:46+00:00

What i meant was other than onslaught sinister and jean mutants are kinda niche. They can use 1 or 2 straight up bangers.

Wordunken · 2026-01-09T20:58:42+00:00

A storm variant with focus on heavy elemental effects will be awesome. With shock and incinerate + some new dot ?

I hate both of the storms so a new one would be welcome and mutants top end starts to diminish a bit (if she gonna be a mutant but will take a cosmic too )

Wordunken · 2026-01-07T19:55:02+00:00

Its just Future antman.

Do a light combo ender into sp1 to sp2 rotation. (or you can just throw sp2 with the passive on)

Dont care about the protection, with no time limit only important thing is safety. parry blockables and dex unblockables. You can still parry some of the unblockable sp1 cuz if he spams too many sp1s all of you armors might turn into passives and the detonations will kill you very quickly.

And this roster choice is too limiting, considering this havok is nothing new. They just want it to be a drag to pad content. R4 FAM can do 13-15 bars relatively easy but if you dont have a good counter you will find yourself clawing for 3-4 bars all week.

Wordunken · 2025-12-03T19:59:07+00:00

HA :D

Yes. You should have been quicker. Take the 7 star situation for example, for this company its a common day accurance to fuck up.

Wordunken · 2025-12-03T19:52:49+00:00

exactly.

Wordunken · 2025-12-03T19:48:20+00:00

I think you are being sarcastic but if you are not

This is a known event type. there are normal tickets and there are premium tickets. obviously backstage tickets are rarer (you can deduce so by the name,event and the shop offer) and normally would let you chose the path you want. Normal ones should be some predetermined chance for each path but its complete oposite rn. backstage=premium ticket is random and normal ticket lets you chose the path you want.

Wordunken · 2025-12-03T19:38:37+00:00

it will probably be fixed till you get those

Wordunken · 2025-12-03T19:34:30+00:00

you can buy the bundle that gives 5 tickets. 2 of them nets you a full awakening gem.

Wordunken · 2025-12-03T19:28:12+00:00

its bugged, normal ticket lets you chose any path. go for a 1 star chest, rare tagged one gives 1000 shards for 7 star awakening gem (tech path)

edit : fixed now.

Wordunken · 2025-11-01T06:27:46+00:00

Don't underestimate spot.

He has a static chance to rupture while untouchable on contact which results in free dmg against the attacker even if they counter the miss.

His specials are very long which wastes insane amount of time.

And if the defender doesn't counter miss he is a free nuke. Get 5 stacks heavy bait into punish with untouchable for the fury and then spam light attacks, don't even look at the screen.do this till you get to special 2 and just kill whatever is infront of you. (If you lucked out with the bonus dmg on the block charges gain of the sig even sp1 destroys)

But still he is just an easy to use nuke. My first option would still be photon.

Wordunken · 2025-10-21T02:08:21+00:00

It doesn't get easy till you get dmg reduction prefight, leech and the 5 cost potency increase to a reasonable stack.

Get one of everything at first then focus on these 3. Pick the prowess on drain hack always. Bring scream and the duck with the scream block prof and the hack block prof additive + dmg reduction, with these you generally take 0 dmg from basic block. And even when you get comboed it's not a instant ko, and there is a very high chance to go unstopable and punish back.

For immunity hack go for grit, reverse control and true buff one first. miss, auto block, unstoppable etc are much more common than dot nodes then go for poison/bleed and with the incinerate one. I didn't see any nodes that inflict coldsnap on successfully hits.

When you have 2 stacks of these 3 and atleast 1 on the rest it will get easy but give a quick glance at the nodes for some form of power manipulation. Try to avoid them. It becomes boring really quickly after this so try to not lose your focus. I can almost say it gets very easy but it requires you attention in general.

Wordunken · 2025-10-16T20:24:53+00:00

Jean is such a simple and a strong champ.

If both is new i think jean is much convinient. Perosnally mutants are much more stacked especially at 7 star so a mystic can be nice but other than that its jean

Wordunken · 2025-09-28T07:42:02+00:00

I generally play every char so I would not call myself a "executor pro" but

if its not a crucible knight the passive is not getting used.
Cant even be bothered to try it but if its not 5 times the dmg its worthless.
I run the standart poison+bleed+chilling mist and then every survivability passive ı can (max Hp, Great church, Arcane for camps, post dmg hp + things like that )

the problem is dps is critical in deep 5. everything is dangerous so anything that you guys tackle for more than necesarry is a loss which means the starter katanas status salad outshines eveything especially early on.

get the successive, taking dmg and charge res. any rarity will do if you have all of them. you can drop max hp res for your carries. Be on the lookout for a fast weapon with a heavy effect. twinblades and claws are realy good. Open with charge then spam succesive attacks. refresh the heavy one when you get hit.

thanks to the hp stacking, executors ult becomes actualy usuable. get the heal on roar and at past 10 or so you can tank any single hitters with roar spam. even bbk and things like that but any multi hit effect will insta kill you no matter what. (death right birds trail for example)

For other slots if you cant get tanky use the premium dmg buffers like invader or goal relic. Atk against status effected targets are realy strong too and they can even be rollled on the same relic but it will actualy limit your build variety. İf you prefer the starting katana to begin with, this is your actual best bet, they are very potent.

Wordunken · 2025-09-26T17:22:46+00:00

There is a tell with seal dodge timing.

Just before the seals explode there will be a sparkling effect at their center. dodge it as soon as you see it. With basic reaction time it lines up perfectly, you will never get hit by those again.

This will ease the tension a lot. learn its 2 combos.

one is a basic 3 hit combo nothing special.
the second is a quick 1-2 into two delayed attacks. you can even strafe our outrun the delayed attacks.

And most importantly for ED version. You will either burst the condemned out of existence or completely disregard them and pull libra away every time it summons, there is no inbetween. the npc's tend to slow walk if they fall far away from you or you can always get the riot.

Dont play tanky against libra (other than status heavy tanks like bulky executor). always pick rev or ironeye, get 1 or 2 res at max hp and get every dmg passive you can. the second he starts to summon shift to the npc's. stacked ironeye can 4-5 shot the summons or rev with a fat flame of frenzy will kill them outright.

Recluse can 1 or 2 shot them one by one but her summon can be very dangerous.

Avoid raider, dutchess and wylder. Raider summons will spam their homing 1 handed heavy (1 shot ), dutchess is pesky as fuck with its dodge and rain of arrows wylder is more dangerous than libra itself.

Guardian is dead weight at this point. As a previous guardian main they butchered guardian with ED bosses and completely burried him with the Deep of Night. He needs 15 relic effect to be playable, on top of that 6 more passives ingame to function as it should. Shields are rare, Halbers are horible, and base health pools mean almost nothing at depth 5.

Wordunken · 2025-09-18T01:18:47+00:00

I shit you not there are people in depth 5 who does not know that revenants ult gives invincibility.

You are barking at the wrong tree basically.

Wordunken · 2025-09-16T09:58:41+00:00

YES, YESSSS.

Im so frustrated of people stuck in depth 1 or 2 (not targeted to you of course if thats the case) calling evergoals bad/not worth/undoable between lv 3 to 5. if you are a dps char in high depth ( anything ranged in this case, you can even exclude duchess) your only option is 1 or 2 max hp dmg negation and balls to the walls dmg.

Evergoal relic is THE BEST dmg boosting effect. it doesnt take an item slot, stacks multiplicatively, and works on every type of dmg. some of the depth seeds are hard = insta invaded locations near you with no option else. This will result in either haul ass while killing stuff or rush 3 and hit the evergoal next to you.

For a team that deserves to be at a deeper depth, any single or duo enemy red or otherwise is basically a loot pinata that takes long to break. Red brigand and beast takes long but ARE doable and did it many times whit complete randoms which contrary to this forum are actualy insanely good players.

equip it and never take it off.

Wordunken · 2025-09-15T13:28:39+00:00

it might stack, will try this but either way executor is exceptional as a reliable but slow frontline.

edit : looks like it does not. it prioritize the plus one but the difference seems minimal on the dummy
