This with the trial leads me to believe it sold considerably below expectations.
Such a shame...

So...there's one control panel I can't figure out how to get to. It's the last mission you get the LARPer, the control panel is near the docks, can't seem to figure out how to hit it as it's actually underneath the dock and I can't see any way to get under there and melee it.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, there's a wire running under the docks that you can grind on. Swim out a little bit to the left and right, look for an entrance.

Cheers bros. Can't believe I missed it.
I so focused on trying to hit it head on that I didn't think there might be a grind rail around...

While I was playing yesterday, I heard Fizzie's voice for the first time and I thought I had heard his voice before but couldn't remember where or when exactly. When I woke up today his voice was still in my mind "I won't tell anyone you killed all those guys if you drink some over charge"... He's the same actor that made Pharos and Teddie's voice in Persona 3 and Persona 4!!!

Don't know if this is 100% correct, but I had my gf play the 1st 30 minutes so I missed out on some of the intro stuff but from my observations:
The style meter on the top right dictates what amps activate:
Lvl1. Hero Amps are active
Lvl2. Weapon/Melee Amps are active
Lvl3. Epic Amp is active
Lvl !! Haven't figured out yet...

!! turns everything up to 11. Bigger booms, harder hits, etc.
Yes, I know that (this bit is pretty clear). But even when "activated" (ie when proper style level is reached) most amps' effect still has a % chance of happening (which is logical, else it would be ridiculously overpowered
).Maybe my post was poorly worded, I meant I'm having trouble sometimes knowing when the effect *did* happen. It mainly happens when the weapon visual effect and amp visual effect are similar.
No big deal though.
Ahhh good to know, guess i didn't notice the stuff dying faster. Guess I'll need to get those overdrives that boost style consistently. Feels good man

My mistake then, you are right it's not really a game breaker. I do agree though, like the Recycler amp, it's hard to tell if I'm even "recycling" ammo unless I'm constantly looking at my ammo.

By the way, thank you to whoever suggested equipping the nuke amp to the gun turrets.
Oh my god...I had one encounter where it went off four times during a night defence.

I had it attached to the hairspray bomb myself

I actually haven't used the hairspray bomb as much as I thought I would. The max level Roman Candle with pulse grenade does a pretty great job of clearing hordes almost instantly.

Good grief, the second part of the One Man is an Island is insane. I've died so many times.
What the hell at the crazy difficulty bump.

It's all about the under grind. Once I started using that fighting the fliers was way easier.

Breaking Booze (quest) probably works well for that.
That's probably is the highest concentration of Scabs, shame it not really farmable like other missions are for OD/Fizzco bots that constantly respawn. But its better than anything I've found! Thanks! =]

I think so but there have been bugs regarding this like a lv1 amp returning to the store after get the lv 2 version from Chaos Squad. I think there's supposed to be a fix, if it hasn't happened already.

The patch the other day fixed this. All in all you can buy everything and have 15 pairs of shoes left over.

Okay cool. I've been away and wasn't sure. Thanks!
Nice!
*cries* I Just want to thank tuna_love again for giving me the game. This is the first time in 2 days i've come up for air. My only complaints are the lack of local co-op, not letting me keep the op story weapons forever and the fact that i couldn't get a game of chaos squad(that could be my crappy net though). The game is glorious. GG Insomniac. GG Microsoft. I'm going back in

I haven't been able to put this game down this evening. Hats off to Insomniac for crafting this excellent game.

Is something wrong with Chaos Squad or are people just not playing it.
Been searching all day not one game.

Did we ever get the black crush patch?
I just got it doing the boat night defense in the story.
I think Insomniac said something about gamma levels being wrong and that it is just too dark in 50 % settings, no black crush involved. If you put gamma slider at 60 or 70 it should be perfect.
It's all about grinding period. Once I figured that out I didn't even take damage at all after dying three times before. That and using the charge beam weapon.

I just bought it from floyd for 35 fizzie balloons.
It plus any automatic weapons = fun times....fun times.
P.S Its not called Nuke its actually called Twist of Fate in case you were looking for nuke like i was when i visited floyd the first few times.
Your welcome 😊

It's only a bug for full range users. Limited was as intended at launch. Not sure if gamma was corrected for full range yet.

Yeah, I was doing that, but I think I was wrongly relying on the Roman Candle to see me through. Changed it up and starting using the flaming compensator and things went pretty smoothly from there.
Also found a couple of health boxes that made getting through the latter part of the enemy rush a little easier.
But damn, that was a tough side quest.

I replaced it as soon as I bought the Roman candle. I don't think I levelled it up past 1.
ResidentDante

I think it's my favourite. I always ended up using it when there were powerful enemies around.
Miles Quaritch

Huh, might be time to give a second chance.
Although I love the Roman Candle too much to bother using anything else...

Roman candle is pretty much worthless outside of normal od.
Better off with flaming compenstaor to set on fire then dirty harry for mega damage.
those wingers drop like flies with dirty harry.
Hell it the only combo the game tells you about in game. And its the most useful.
Thanks guys, I'll check it out. Never saw it in the shop for some reason, but might have missed it.
I prefer the Ahab for my single shot, high damage weapon because of the overcharge pool. As far as 'normal' weapons go, I like the Shorty Shotty with the Burn, Baby, Burn level 2 amp. It has a really nice sound when firing, very satisfying. I like to lure enemies in with the decoy guy and take out hoards with it. And speaking off that decoy gun, I added the Rocket Man amp to it, it's pretty damn effective, but takes a long time to level up.
I need more content! All of the missions and challenges are finished and I've beaten all the chaos squad levels. I don't really have much of a desire to collect everything just because the remaining amps to buy seem boring. I'd play CS more but it's a pain to get into a game. I think once the DLC comes out I'll get that and the weapon pack.
Finished all the trials yesterday. About 50% of the way there on collectables.
Started forcing myself to use unloved weapons to get more of them up to level 5.
Still, no luck in Chaos Squad. The gods hate me. All I get are clothes. No amp level 2s, no weapons. I'm getting all of the spins to unlock too

I remember seeing some game blog dudes drinking overcharge. was it a limited product or something? I know you could buy Alpa Chino's booty sweat if you knew where to look. I would love a few cans of overcharge!
