I don't understand how I can create extra characters and leave them at HQ. I can have only my team and delete them, there's no option for creating "mule character" just to spec weapon and armour modifications skills?
@@NeOmega83 you must create new character at HQ (talk to Sergei Greatski). You must first hide your old character and than create new, setup his characteristics and hide and take old char back
You've been pumping so much quality content on this game so consistently and so quickly, it brings me back to when DoS 2 just came out. Keep up the great stuff.
If you want to get the most out of the start of the game, you'll want to start with First Aid at 1 and Nerd Stuff at 1 among your starters (you don't need lockpicking as you can punch the two locked items without incident) and at least an Assault Rifle or Sniper Rifle so you can shoot an enemy without triggering dialogue. Try to get Kiss Ass to 2 on a character to avoid a fight in the next map. You should end with 2 Utility items (luck and Hard Ass).In the next map, you'll want via temp rangers or your crew: Mechanics 3, First Aid 4, Toaster Repair 3, Explosives 4. There are optional checks for Nerd Stuff, but those won't disappear after you leave, the Mechanics and First Aid checks will go away if you miss them. Before you leave, you want in your active party: Kiss Ass 4 (will save $200), Lockpicking 5 (not sure if you can come back later without counting as stealing). You can come back later for the Mechanics checks. By the end of the main mission shoot for Lockpicking 6, Weird Science 3, Nerd Stuff 4, and Sneaky Shit 4 (Kwon can manage this for 2 skill points), Hard Ass 4 (3 with Utility item - you remembered to get it before leaving the ambush site, right?). Toaster Repair check you can come back later to get. Mechanics in submission might be okay if you don't complete the quest immediately, not sure.
Finally, everybody wanted and *NEEDED* this ! Thank you Fetralix It sucks that you cannot respec for companions too even coz I kinda have mechanics on Lucia instead lol
My personal squad consists of my main character which is a sniper that uses sneaky shit and lockpocking, an explosives expert/heavy gunner/ mechanic who happens to be addicted to alcohol, a straight up medic who uses smgs and high speed to get to party members for heals, a tanky melee user, and a scientist who uses gadgets and elemental weapons to wreak havoc. Its working wonderfully so far.
I'm doing all my build myself, but I was struggling with good Smg build and man, I got to give it to you, Smg / Wierd Science is one of my favorite guys in squad, I did few tweaks to fit my play style and he/she is must in every squad I run in any difficulty) Also Pizepi Joren companion is fit well for that build as well if you want replace created ranger for someone else 😉
Thank You for the great quality content you guys released over the years. its very much appreciated i think its over 6 and a half years ago when i first stumbled over your Dark Souls 2 progression route walkthrough witch i enjoyed a lot. hope you will able to put out content for many years to come. Personally i am hoping you will put out content for the Demons Souls Remake 🐉🎮 Cheers
Might as well rush weapons mod to 5 on Lucille and get the perk that adds +1 ammo. Like you said in your rocket video, helps gather a lot more rockets for your rocketeer. Her barter can be used for the 20% off perk to make ammo buying cheaper for more rockets and ammo in general too.
Got this game 2 nights ago and been playing almost the entire time lol I love games that allow me to customize and build more than just a single main character. Im liking almost every companion's personality and writing ive met so far (with the exception of lucia...her voice, personality, look, rich-kid pseudo morality all suck) especially Ironclad and Jodie. The hobo is cool too. Kwon feels like a slightly less moral kaiden/carth but he's the only companion ive kept in my party for his combat and utility quality (Hes my only kiss ass so I gotta keep him). Ive been trying to keep Ironclad in my party always but brawling is a bit rough. Ive got it maxxed and its still pretty low damage. Thankfully I have a laser cyborg eye that gives him a high dmg ability. Hopefully brawling just sucks bc of his weapon. New brawling weapons seem exceedingly rare. Not sure who I should have as my companions based on viability and combat efficiency though, kinda just guessing. My rangers are... Sniper (sneak, armor modding and lockpick) Leader medic (hardass and nerd) Heavy weapons/explosive specialist (weird science and toaster) Assault mechanic (barter and weapon modding) I realize I shoulda allocated modding to a single non combat guy but too late. I have steamrolled most encounters without doing so....well, a very heavy exception being the frogs. They are an insane difficulty spike relative to the rest. Which companions would you use with those 4? Kwon has been decent. Ironclad, hobo and fisheyes all have utility skills i dont need but have been alright in combat. Lucia has been a frail and impotent spot waster to match her personality. I just ask because i dont wanna miss a companion that would help a lot.
That's what I'm doing as well. My mains are a shotgun/melee tank and an SMG/Mechanic. Along with Kwon and Lucia similar to what you described I grabbed a sniper and big gun expert from the pool at the base. My builds are far from perfect, but it's my first playthrough and I don't care that much about min/max just yet.
you can actually reset the characters. I suggest investing on Lucia's barter and weapon mod to get tons of gold and worry about re-specing later. unlock all their perks and let the waves of $ come in. when you're swimming in gold, re-spec to your hearts desire.
Yeah I played a little bit of wasteland 2 but something didn't click for me I couldn't get over some aspects of the game but wasteland 3 is amazing it fixed every problem I had with wasteland 2
Personally I do like having weapon modding on Lucia because of powder packer. I like having a giant stockpile of rockets since I run the recon rocketeer as well as a leadership character with rockets.
I have already completed the game and have restarted it making different types of builds. Im going to try the drunk fu fighter as any melee character I have made ends up face down butt up so to speak. I hope there will be loads of DLC content for this game as it is one of the best I have played recently.
I´m considering to buy this game, but I´ve played another Wasteland game before and lets just say it wasnt what I was looking for. All I want is an open world xcom like the modern Shadowrun videogames mix with Fallout. No overly complicated interface, no "my way or the highway" with character creation and no "Aww, you went off the main road? Guess you want to face a gang of 20 raiders with 4 times your level each" Is this it?
I use kwon as a leader medic since both don't need to be maxed out to be at their best, and I swap out lucia once get enough money with barter lvl 7 then i keep dumping into weapon/armor mods for her. I like your explosive reckon build but have you tried playing it with a shotgun with a explo mod on, i mean, if you though shotgun were op, explosive shotgun are nasty. you don't need strike chance so I put the last points in luck, and you can clear bosses/ every trash with only this guy in one turn even late game bosses on suprem jerk, it's insane. Edit: and nerd stuff on sniper isn't so great because you can't hack robots from long distance, i'd rather have it on a smg, melee or shotgun guy.
For nerd stuff on the sniper, it just seems like the guy wanted to wrap it up and had unused skills left over to assign. i followed the guide almost to a t and fucked the party comp with it. does it work, sure - but the builds aren't as strong as what you are suggesting. Really wish this guide was thought out a bit more. Thanks for sharing. edit: not to mention if you do follow the sneaky sniper/nerd stuff line - you've already taken Sadomasochist as well, so enjoy getting close to convert a robot and probably dying on the enemy turn.
Love all your vids Fextra. Do you think a better party build would be to replace Lucia with Scotchmo and turn him into a drunk rocketeer since he already has Small Arms, Sneaky Shit and Way of the Squeezins which gives him an extra 30% damage when drunk? Also can afford to have him be the party lockpicker so he'd only be wasting the 2 points in melee he starts with.
Was there a inconsistency with this guide and drunken master or did I not understand something? In Drunk Fu Master you recommend to choose Armor Modding skill as one of three main skills but here you recommend to make a separate character with Modding skill. Ps. Haven't yet started the game as I am only planning ahead. As a sidenote just noticed that Armor Modding perk - Tender Love (lvl 10 perk) give +5 armor to all party members so this befefit will be lost if party member is located on HQ.
What 2 characters did you make first? And what are the starting stats for everyone? Also, your article (which is amazing by the way) says to take sneaky shit on both recon rocketeer and the sniper. Is that a good idea? What about skill overlap? And your beginners guide doesn't tell you to take small arms but your article did. I'm just a little confused. Been dying to play the game but I know I won't enjoy it if I'm not 100% happy with my characters
You can successfully dip all characters in sneak, weird science, survival, mechanics, and explosives That being said I highly recommend that the character you make the sneakiest also have mechanics, explosives, and lockpick (I use the poindexter quirk for them and max intelligence from the start) .... in the harder difficulties it becomes wildly advantageous to decouple from the squad and sneak into the back ranks where the turret generators are and take them out before combat with mechanics which will not prompt combat
Making a dedicated armor and weapon moder means you run the risk of one of your 4 custom characters will lose their skill levels, which I've had happen and ruined my play through since I used skill books for that rank 10.
So by creating extra heroes just for armour and weapon mod skills he means to delete the current ones every single time and create them again once you're done or what ? If so then he can fuck off with that advice.
I'm so painfully tempted to restart because of SOME bad skill picks but I'm also a good amount of hours in so it's a really hnnnngh sort of feel. Also I've noticed weird science is required for rather powerful armor so I'm considering having the front lines deal have that. Also don't make your medic the guy with the shotgun that's just stupid as I've found out.
If your medic is also the leader than the shotgun is preferable!! You just need to find a jackhammer shotgun and get the perk that does more damage the more targets hit in the same cone. High CHA means more signature shots and with the jackhammer the signature shot is basically a delete button... cover, enemies, allies... all deleted lol
Important tip is to never replace your starting characters from the squad, because I lost all skill points on them after I used my weapon modding character. A big that needs to be fixed immediately
I don't understand what he means, create extra characters and leave them at HQ? How you do that? Do I need to delete my current member everytime I want weapon/armour mod skills or what?
@@NeOmega83 no you create your raiders. And you can create as much as you like. Create one with max weapon and armor modding. But you can leave that character in HQ. And take 4 other raiders on adventures. The when you levelled up, you can go back to HQ replace one raider to the weapon and armor modding one and level their skills up and then mod weapons. Then remove that raider (not delete) from the squad. Just never remove your starting 2 custom characters because that’s bugged
@@CrazyKoenie I don't see the option to create more when I talk to Groetski. All I can do is either move or delete my current party member. This is what I don't understand. How cam I make more rangers?
@@CrazyKoenie OMG. Why people can't explain shit. You should have said that deleting the ranger puts him in separate bracket and not actually deletes him. I've made an emergency safe file because I couldn't access the creation of the new ranger without an empty spot and lo and behold I noticed my "deleted" ranger was still there, albeit in separate bracket. Maybe it's a mistranslation and in English it says "Hide" but in Polish version it literally says "Delete", hence my confusion.
Personally, after playing the game for awhile, I don't think 3 ranks in sneaky shit (Marshall Kwon) is wasted on any character. Mainly because it gives initiative. If you have a bunch of guys with 2 speed and no sneaky shit, your party is just a bunch of sitting ducks on any fight you don't initiate yourself. I also don't think barter and weapon modding are wasted on an active party member. It's annoying to go back to base everytime you want to sell or buy stuff, and the powder packer perk is nice for acquiring more rockets, grenades, etc. Though I do think Lucia has one to many non combat skills, and uses a weapon type that might not be the best for having the lowest HP of any party member. It's not really a big deal though since you can always put more points in strength, and she doesn't really waste to many skill points if you want to get another combat skill.
Lucia benefits a TON from adding a good scope to a high level pistol.. she racks up signature shots fast from her unique background and can debuff a lot of strong enemies with a +6m scope since pistols are only 3 ap
I have two combat rangers and two skill drones I don't play on harder difficulties so with a bit of strategy I can get away with having two potatoes in combat
wait hold on. i thought rangers you leave in HQ dont level up with your party. so if you always leave them back there as just modders, dont they get out leveled really quickly?
There is actually a downside to recreating characters: skill books. If you've used any of them on a character that had up to rank 9 in a particular skill (with or without a utility item), that's six skill points you won't have on your new character unless you happen to stumble upon a replacement book at some point.
I'm also pretty sure new characters made don't get any benefit from Strength for all the levels they've gotten before you made them. So that's a big negative too.
@@Fextralife Are you sure about that? Are you talking about something other than the CON benefits? The other day when someone was questioning whether or not starting new characters after you picked up a Creepy Doll would even give them the benefit of them, or if they only applied to characters that were already made when you picked them up, I tested that out. A brand new character at level 13 was getting the same amount of health as any other character at the same strength level, and that was after already having the doll for a while. This was also with and without the CON perk.
The con per level is retroactive with previous levels. So if you start The game with a guy at 10 str and create a guy at a later lvl and give them 10 They will have the same hp. Same if you slowly lvl another guy to 10, when you hit it they’ll have the same hp as the guy that always had 10 str.
Mine (w/o any tutorials): 1 sniper 1 healer (that does basically it) 1 pistol dps 3 tanks, one melee/explosives, two automatics (being one of them automatics/weird science). Doing fine so far
Game is buggy, And the story line is buggy with so many plotholes, I paid the full price plus the extra content, Game slapped me in the end, I had high hopes it felt good during even with the bugs and stuff but in the end it really took the control out of my hands and slapped me with "Choices" and I feel sad,
God I want to play this so bad. But $90 for a 30h game with beta bugs that I may or may not encounter is kind of a let down :( hopefully they get patched soon for everyone who is playing.
@@TheLukieBoi1 yeh as I said it seems to be very hit or miss. For some stupid reason I can't obtain the game pass? Idk why. I'll try again later after work though because I can still get it for $1

Oh no
It's crazy to even think of how many hours you've put into this game already to test out builds.

You can successfully dip all characters in sneak, weird science, survival, mechanics, and explosives
That being said I highly recommend that the character you make the sneakiest also have mechanics, explosives, and lockpick (I use the poindexter quirk for them and max intelligence from the start) .... in the harder difficulties it becomes wildly advantageous to decouple from the squad and sneak into the back ranks where the turret generators are and take them out before combat with mechanics which will not prompt combat
Oh wow did I ever mess my party up lmfao can you respec characters? I made all mine somewhat even and well rounded and no specialists
The mod char at base is a good idea.

i’ve heard the explosive sniper build can be rather OP

I'm also pretty sure new characters made don't get any benefit from Strength for all the levels they've gotten before you made them. So that's a big negative too.
@@Fextralife Are you sure about that? Are you talking about something other than the CON benefits?
The other day when someone was questioning whether or not starting new characters after you picked up a Creepy Doll would even give them the benefit of them, or if they only applied to characters that were already made when you picked them up, I tested that out.
A brand new character at level 13 was getting the same amount of health as any other character at the same strength level, and that was after already having the doll for a while. This was also with and without the CON perk.
The con per level is retroactive with previous levels. So if you start
The game with a guy at 10 str and create a guy at a later lvl and give them 10
They will have the same hp. Same if you slowly lvl another guy to 10, when you hit it they’ll have the same hp as the guy that always had 10 str.
Wow I thought I was looking at my game because we have the exact same portraits lmao
Mine (w/o any tutorials):
1 sniper
1 healer (that does basically it)
1 pistol dps
3 tanks, one melee/explosives, two automatics (being one of them automatics/weird science).
Doing fine so far
Are you playing on the hardest difficulty? I'm considering playing on that one
@@3DCharacterArtist nope, on hard.
First also great video man. Keep it up
Loved that game but the end was so rushed it pisses me off
This game is so fun, if it was playable.
Game is buggy, And the story line is buggy with so many plotholes, I paid the full price plus the extra content, Game slapped me in the end, I had high hopes it felt good during even with the bugs and stuff but in the end it really took the control out of my hands and slapped me with "Choices" and I feel sad,
God I want to play this so bad. But $90 for a 30h game with beta bugs that I may or may not encounter is kind of a let down :( hopefully they get patched soon for everyone who is playing.
U can try with Xbox game pass for Pc is less than 10dls
Finished the game on XBOX the only bugs i really came across were the occasional crash and black screen. Didn't come across any quest related bugs.
@@TheLukieBoi1 yeh as I said it seems to be very hit or miss. For some stupid reason I can't obtain the game pass? Idk why. I'll try again later after work though because I can still get it for $1
$90 ? Is that for console ? I bought this for $15 on steam.
@@woosh757 $90 Australian on steam. It's a newly released game, why would it be $15?
I want to love this game so much but it's so goddamn buggy
my problem is only loading screens
@@kurrwa I had one of my character's skills get messed up, I couldn't delete them, then Kwon disappeared.
Love me
Was looking forward to this game, until I found out its a topdown game.
