I don't remember the name but it came from either the amazon code or the collector.
I got it on my second try. Just set traps all over the place, keep moving and pick your spots. A strategy that has been working for every big fight so far.

Smash the rocks with melee.

Just walk around and strike the rocks blocking the path to other areas.

Just had my first encounter with a rockbreaker...
Side quest spoiler:
There was a side quest to go investigate why a crew of guys excavating suddenly went missing. Sounds like the typical tracking side mission, went there, and BOOM Rockbreaker out of nowhere. Intense fight as I learned how to combat it. Avoided those like the plague every time I see them now.
This game just feels so good to play. I finished the story ages ago because I raced through the main quest as the story was just so engaging that I wanted to know more. In most games I wouldn't return for other shit because either the side stuff would be poor or I won't be attached enough to gameplay to come back. In case of this game it just feels right to simply go around fight machines and shit. Hah.
The only thing I want to do in this game that remains is getting that end game gear. However it requires revisiting some areas that are pretty much empty with no enemies so all I'll be doing is just walking around and I'm not sure if I want to do that. I probably would but now it's Zelda time.
Great game !

Sorry if this has been asked a billion times but how are you guys finding the differences between performance and resolution on a 1080p? Any one worth using over the other?

I actually didn't. I prefer the games GG made over Blizzard. GG is just more my cup of tea. You know, it is my opinion and all of that.

Both are fine. Resolution has a slightly softer image but it is clearer than performance. Just pick the one that looks better to you.

For some dumb reason I avoided that quest the entire game, so my first experience with a Rockbreaker was terrifying because I encountered TWO at once. I felt like I was in Tremors, running from big rock to big rock lol

I prefer performance mode on my Pro. It lessens the fan usage compared to resolution mode. On resolution mode, my Pro was a howling banshee (especially whenever I was in a menu).

How do I get my preorder bonus items?

The ropecaster has changed my life. I don't know how I didn't buy it the first time I saw it.
That's odd since I preordered the collectors on amazon and got no such outfit

I never use it. Who do you use it against?
Regarding the "Ancient Armor" side quest:
If the Power Cell locations are tied to the main story, then I suppose it makes sense to actually finish the main story quicker than I am used to so that I get this new badass armor, that I can then use to complete side quests. Sound like a good plan?
At a vendor, check the chest section. Pre order stuff can be bought "free".

Maybe I just really loathe seeing people get bullied but that intro gave me some serious feels. I haven't felt this emotionally invested into a character since The Last of Us.

I'm at the point where resource management is so important. I rather sneak pass enemies than to waste resources on them.

Nevermind apparently it's a Gamestop exclusive outfit for preorder

It's a great weapon for doing heavy damage. Rope big guys down and then go in for a critical strike. It can also be great for applying other elemental effects or doing an override.

That would be awful anti climactic for me. I always try to intersperse side stuff with main story so i don't get burned out and there's variety. That's just me though.
Like which ones? I pick up everything in my path and went for the Foraget tree first so I am swimming in resources. Only things I need to farm are the animal Skins and Bones when I upgrade a satchel.

Anything big and anything that flies. You can critical hit a sawtooth about 2 or 3 times in a row by tying him down. Pretty much a guaranteed kill in about 30 seconds or so.

Can anyone vouch for the war bow? I have all the other weapons besides that one.
Yep. Extremely handy for customizing your end game gear and you never waste a coil.

Sorry, I asked the same dumb question before, but does someone know what the preorder bonuses were at GAME.co.uk?
Snowybreak
Member
Yes. You won't be switching out weapons very often when it comes to direct upgrades, so the ability to switch out coils to more powerful versions is a great thing to have.

Wires and blaze since I use my entire stash up on a side quest.
As in don't do shit or overpowered as fuck
They're so good, maybe too good. Can basically walk right up to any enemy as long as I'm not running at them straight on and get a stealth kill.
This fucking game man, it might have now spoilt all other games coming out, I can't wait for Zelda tomorrow but having played this on a pro on a nice big tv I just don't know how Zelda can compete this game looks totally fucking insane then you add in its open world and that just makes it even more impressive.
Combine stealth run ability with the heavy stealth armor with 3 purple stealth coils and you can sneak past enemies very, very easily. It also makes for amazing photography tool since you can get extremely close to most machines for photo mode and they won't see you unless they're fliers or you get into their frontal vision cone.
They're OP in a fun way since you can just pick the fights you want and enjoy sightseeing when you want to do that instead.
Stealth seems to work in the way that +stealth is always on, even when walking and crouching just adds its own bonus to that. So that means in stealth armor you're somewhat stealthy even upright.

No, they got extra bonuses on top of the pack. The reguler pre-order was supposed to come with the Nora Machine Trapper Pack.

Edit: Contacted best buy, they sent me the code.
Cool, thanks! I'm also interested in the skill before that one, that lets you get back traps, although I dont know if it works, for example, with wires already used against an enemy.
That and the triple arrow shot are my main objectives right nowm
