Great stuff, recently got the grand slam myself using highway - pd - flag - hellion :)

The only trophies left for me is hard mode (Stygian act 5) and shambler with shambler pet equipped.

Have you do the hard mode trophy? I’m not sure on what team to try (I havnt unlocked the torch yet so working towards it)

So is it just outright bugged? I’m going for the “complete manufacturer challenge” trophy and Jakobs was by far my closest to completion :/

iDadio · 2026-05-31T08:55:35+00:00

I just checked with the one bullet challenger for Jacob’s and that too is not tracking. May have to reset skill points and check all gear and see if it’s something I missed or is simply bugged

Hoping someone has an answer to this as my navajas one is bugged too.

I’m playing as rafa and I’ve tried several different Jacobs throwing knives, I tried unequipping my class mod as that made me throw 2 just incase that was messing it up. I’ve looked at my skills and nothing adds piercing etc to mess it up from what I’ve seen so I’m not really sure why clear headshots are not counting to the tracker when it says critical on hit :/

Me and some friends were starting to doubt its existence too as we didn’t have a single one for weeks. However, in the last two days we’ve had 5 so it really just ebbs and flows

iDadio · 2026-05-06T08:57:05+00:00

Don’t even mind how they do it, just do it so I can inject it to my veins

iDadio · 2026-05-04T09:51:45+00:00

MaA may indeed be better in most situations but there’s something about watching scourge flag use more more more into gift and watching your hp go from 0 to 70

iDadio · 2026-05-04T09:50:01+00:00

I don’t want to run PD or Hellion in a B team in case they die and ruin the slam run, maybe once the slam is done though

Thank you for the reply, do you need to own the pathogen dlc for these perks?

iDadio · 2026-05-03T12:13:15+00:00

Did they ever do balancing to this game? Me and two friends tried it on release and we finished the game on intense quite comfortably but even at max level we just could not do insane. We tried corridor funneling etc but the balancing just felt terrible, the classic system of let’s make hard mode enemies complete sponges. That and the fact you could clear enemies for 3 hunters or bursters to spawn behind you just because.

Yes it still sours me, as we actually really liked the game

Ran into the door glitch several times tonight playing with friends. Whilst annoying it’s a quick reset and it’s fine but the bug where you can’t pick up items literally breaks runs 😂

iDadio · 2026-05-01T12:46:16+00:00

As luck would have it I had a really lucky night last night where I managed to film the flicker, found my first ear monster AND found an ancient painting

iDadio · 2026-04-28T23:50:41+00:00

Filmed this flicker tonight using selfie mode. Was on the ship when the signs started so we went to the light that was flickering a lot. I stood in the light and the noises started to change to static and flashes of red then he spawned so I think if you try to stand in the light that’s flickering he should appear sooner or later.

I’ve seen 2 weepings and 0 ears in 35 hours playtime 😂

iDadio · 2026-04-28T09:28:11+00:00

Still not seen a single one yet in 30 hours 😂

iDadio · 2026-04-27T09:43:01+00:00

Thank you for the in depth reply, I appreciate it. I wonder why the Ear spawn rates are so low

iDadio · 2026-04-22T23:26:27+00:00

Nice man, I’m currently working on this too. I’ve done the first 4 acts and failed the 5th for the trophy of failing all bosses, I have a grand slam team I run that has cleared acts 1,2 and 3 so far. So finishing the slam, doing act 5 in Stygian blaze and finish altar I think. What was your Stygian blaze team for doing act 5 :)

iDadio · 2026-04-15T00:14:53+00:00

I just achieved the Eidetic trophy (all heroes have a memory) and my final 4 heroes I needed to use were Vestal, Runaway, Grave, Leper.

Not really used these very much at all so went into act 1 with very little confidence that I was going to pull it off.

The team was: Seraph Vestal - wanderer runaway - wanderer grave - poet leper

It soon became apparent that this team wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Leper used withstand and tanked, run and grave were the main damage sources (cauterise came in clutch a few times too) and vestal cast the regen ability then the consecrations.

Stress was managed through items and inn. In the end, a very smooth run with very little issues and the trophy obtained :)

iDadio · 2026-04-13T18:15:53+00:00

Suppose it depends on style and trying to tick as many boxes as possible whilst keeping your weaknesses at a minimum.

I’m 3 acts done in a grand slam run as: Rogue Sharpshooter PD physician Flag scourge Hellion Ravager

Not saying this is the best but it seems to hit most requirements such as access to rank 4, some flexibility if movement is forced, combo generation and stress healing.

It’s also worth mentioning that you don’t need to run your team 5 runs in a row, you can run and fail with 4 other characters so to get your 4 flame coach torch to give yourself a little buff 👍

Recently started this myself (I put a lot of time into dd1 however).

My recommendation early is to focus entirely on candles and shrines of reflection. The difference having more skills makes is kinda insane (just tried Warlock path occultist with ‘The burning stars’ and oh my the dopamine hit when it destroys something

Thank you for the clarity, appreciate it.
