Can i ask you a question?

I"m pretty sure that most of my damage taken in returnal was because of falling damage or getting hit trying to catch the disappearing money from enemies (such a bullshit way to make things harder btw), do you feel like soros locations have the same amoung of voids where you can fall while fighting and does itstill have the bullshit money disappearing mechanic?

I swear enemies were cute puppies compared to the amount of damage i took from falling or enviromental lasers and traps...
You can fall a lot here but not in enemy zones. Those arenas so far are fall dmg proof :D

Shit still disappears, but you have a lot of upgrades that makes it lasts much longer or you pick them up from further away

GymWolf GymWolf the above is correct.

I've only fallen off a cliff on accident twice here.
 
wtf... how lucky are you on your runs :D That dps seems insane
There's the modifier system where you can opt to take penalties and balance with buffs, but you can only go max of negative 3 from positives.

I put on the I don't get halycon which gives me plus 6, and did the -7 for obtaining the highest level of damage buff. It left me with 2 more points so I added the active reload window is bigger.

For my runs if the negative impact from a buff is too big I just don't pick them up. I focus on either a good rifle or cross bow.

Thats about it. Game is far easier than Returnal so far.

oh i dont use that modifier system at all, not on my first run. I will fuck with it later. Well ofc its easier when you do that kind of dmg lol
 
Beat the first boss on my first try.

I mean it's the same as the pick ups in game. Benefit or loss. I'm sacrificing halycon. My skill tree is juiced in everything else though.

Skill tree also is big reason I'm shredding.

Mind you enemies only die fast once I'm in a weapon in the high 20s just like Returnal.

I mean you deal insane amount of dmg. My ult does like 15% hp bar.
 
I only had 1 try on that boss, but my dmg was so ass i was never gonna beat it.
Even mine was. I had cross bow instead of heavy rifle.

I actually took most of my damage from him flinging me out of arena and not grappling back on fast enough.
 
Forgot to mention, I think the digital deluxe costumes are pretty "eh", but I do like the pre-order costume.
 
Alright maybe I overestimated my skills. I think I need to farm up a bit more before b-lining it to the second boss. Also I think since I just played some returnal it is actually to my detriment and I take damage for doing something dumb ie the timing of enemy tracer arrow rounds, dodging when I should be trying to absorb the blue dots etc. Also I think the second life thing should not have been a perma upgrade. I would be screwed more if that wasn't always on.
