Cool, that's what I hoped to hear. Wonder if I can use this as part of Target's B2G1F and pick up oh, COD, this, and.. I don't know. Hm.

I wish people would stop making low-mid code lobbies and then change to doing special operations after 1-2 missions. I ended up in one where the chosen mission had Imitation Red Rage and a bunch of other abductors - literally couldn't even put dent into Red Rage 
Final boss, I think the second one spawned when the other boss was at half health. My partner had a extremely OP barbara but he disconnected in the middle of it so I had to finish it off with the AI.
Spoiler image if you didn't beat the game.

At least that mission doesn't have
alien AI in the form of On High fighters.
Q: What's a good weapon/OP to grind the 9999 bullets trophy? Because after 160 hours of playing the game I'm pretty sure I didn't fire more than 160 bullets. ;-;

how can you have played 160 hours and not come up with an answer?

Because I obviously only used melee and didn't even care about the guns. They might not have been there and it wouldn't change a single thing about how I played the game. I only used a heavy melee weapon for the story missions but it was too slow for the special OPs so I added a light melee to the mix. Now my main weapon is a Damascus sub-weapon with 1515 dps along with a 2040 dps Caliburn that I'm using less and less and they are a great combo for most ops, special and retribution included.
Edit: Thanks Scher.
If you're looking to do the 9999 bullet trophy, just grab an MG-M7 or a similar autocannon with a large number of rounds. MG-M7 is my main weapon, and that thing carries about 1000 bullets without upgrades. It also fires super fast, so it should get you 9999 bullets shot fairly quickly.
moving this forward an hour.

I am loving this game, but having a hard time with dmg output. I am using a light weapon (so I can cut limbs) and a sniper rifle.
The problem I am having is that I never have the materials I need to upgrade. I also really like the ability to saw off parts so I am ok with the lower dmg output of light melee weapons. What do you guys suggest? Any mods I should focus on?
Also I like to give my accessory heavy weapons and let her "cover me". I have been wondering if I should switch to a more automatic weapon and give her a sniper or other high power weapon she can use at a larger distance.
Here is my current character if anyone cares:
I have Ea's Knife lvl 2 with 538 power and SR-42/LA lvl 3 with 1076 power.

Rap sheet!
London Panopticon, currently on a trip round the world so only really playing this on the overnight coaches or late nights in hostels, which kinda limits my ability to play online to a schedule (too much drinking to be done!)
Absolutely loving the game so far tho, at Code 5 with all requirements complete for the Code 6 exam. I don't know if it helps that I only seem to get in a couple of hours at a time but some of the complaints I've read in reviews don't seem to bother me at all. And I actually really like the default control scheme. I haven't even really struggled with the AI yet!
Feel free to add me (as long as you're not from LA, we are so catching you up!) and I'll keep a look out for any of you playing when I'm online on a decent connection, I would really like to try the co-op. Been trying to convince my travelling partner it's worth getting a Vita just so I've got someone to play this with ha. Not been too successful so far.

Is there such a thing on the JP version? Could it be our alternative to the lack of voice/pitch customization for the accessories?
I hope it's an accessory thing, because I surely don't feel like we need more sinner voices.

There are two voice packages for the jpn version, both are accessory voices, male and female.
Check out the "Lavender", "Punk Rock" or "Vivid Multi-Coloured (4)" Colour Palettes.
Yeah, there are all kinds of ridiculous palettes to unlock eventually.
There's far more purple out there than you'll ever need.

You can unlock and buy like a million different color palettes to choose from. Early on, you'll be limited in customization until you unlock more stuff.

Tokyo is still destroying us all. We shouldn't be fighting amongst ourselves! We should be working together to take down the top!
Then we can fight each other.

People are too busy making sure Mumbai stays at (near) zero GPP.

So far it seems far more efficient to do PvP to raise your city's GPP than do co-op to lower another city's, given that the bonuses for PvP are massive. I got nearly 30,000 GPP for a single match that took maybe 5 minutes.

You say that, but I've still not found the right shade of purple for my accessory even at code 7!

So I just started the game. Just finished the code 2 exam.
Is there ANY way to drag down abducters with out having to mash the O button???? Is there a way where I can just hold down the O button?? Lol

Yes, you can just hold down the button. It won't be as fast as if if you were mashing but it's good enough if you hook onto a part that's easy to drag down (usually the feet or arms).

Oh ok. Does it just work automatically or is it an option I have to set? I feel lik I've tried before and nothing was happening. I'm playing solo btw.
Nope it's automatic. You were probably trying to drag down a part that is difficult to drag down like the chest or head or something. I believe your cross hair (with a melee weapon) becomes blue when you're aiming at a part that's easy to drag down.
Yellow. Blue is a severable pod, red is a severable component.

All the AI characters have different priorities - some characters prioritize abductor dragdowns, some prefer severing, and some will just run up and melee all the time.
I can't remember which characters prefer dragdowns at the moment, but try them all.

I think is time for me to start working on weapon crafting and stuff, the few missions I've done for CODE 6 have been brutal, And I don't think I can make it to CODE 7 with my current equipment.
Also does the flare knife make any difference when severing abductor parts? I've been using it for quite a while now but I feel like is not doing anything

It just lets you sever parts without having an actual light melee weapon. Because severing speed is determined by attack power, a good light melee weapon will beat a flare knife every time.
The Flare Knife allows you to sever parts when you're not using a weapon normally capable of severing. If you actually use a short sword then having a flare knife in your useable items offers no additional benefit, and from testing it severing using the flare knife is slower than using a sword, especially if you're using a decent one or one that you've upgraded at all.
I haven't tested the Flare Knife+ yet though.
Edit: Ah, beaten to it. Never mind
I just got to CODE4 and I feel like I'm really "getting" this game now. It's really hitting it's stride and I cant stop playing or thinking about it.
Did some co-op CODE3 missions last night with some buddies and had a ton of fun. It blows my mind that Vita can handle Party Chat alongside a game like this. Really a technical marvel.
My biggest complaint is how the "Proof of Non-Failure" things work after completing a co-op mission...I wish I didn't have to load into a battle completely for that to be registered. A minor complaint in the grand scheme of things, in what is truly one of the best reasons to own a Vita.

I see, this explains it then since I'm a light melee user

People weren't kidding about that final boss, what a pile of garbage.
Well, in the end I did it with 3 AI partners at level 4-6, an accessory with a 2.5k damage rocket launcher, myself with a Murasume with about 500 power and some minigun with about 800 power and a bunch of ammo/health packs.
It doesn't help that severing the boxes takes a million years, I focused entirely on that and only managed to take down 3 of them before the boss died. Infinite 2 hit kill knockdown by those stupid chains is the lamest boss tactic I've ever seen, plus they have way too much health and of course endlessly come back unless you give yourself carpal tunnel from attempting to sever.

Yup I bought a OLED vita for it, plus P4G should arrive tomorrow. This game seriously makes time fly by.

basically yes huge wasted opportunity again
Trying the last mission 3 times without losing sustainability and failed. Then I just said fucked it and killed the hell out of the last boss anyway -_-
Those minions are fucking nightmare, I really need friends or better weapon
Beside Matthias. the stock character they use is bearable though. Some are just lovable like Elfriede.

I am really enjoying the character creator. I feel like I can finally make that certain anime looking character without being super disappointed.
