The Resourcefulness skill is underrated. This allows you to obtain additional ammo each time you rest in a shelter. For the entire squad, it is a maximum of 4-5 ammo resources at the cost of 1 tool. It's a better alternative than 1 extra ammo at the start. This is a useful ability if you plan to re-land on the map itself, because the extra ammo from the crate will be lost when you return to the base.
@@MistaFiOth You sure? I mean you have to rest anyways. So why not stock up on ammo there? On the other hand I don't seem to run low on ammo also. But I'm just halfway through the game. Things might change later. Guess you already beat it.
@@WatchMysh you use a ton of ammo early on in Hard difficulty, the pulse rifles and smart guns burn sooo much ammo in the first two missions. and as the game gets harder, the aliens get more HP and you have to use more ammo to kill them. but late game, once you have heavy pulse rifles and plasma rifles, you kill much more efficiently and the ammo consumption goes way down, especially if you are using command point skills to defeat enemies without getting hunts. the last few missions i was walking past ammo crates because i already had 20+ in reserve as i would mow down aliens with little consumption, but that also goes with planning engagements and using sentry guns down to low double digit ammo counts before reloading them.
Iron Will is probably the best. No tired/Exhaustion debuff for any reason. Had a Rusty marine with the bad trait of coming from missions exhausted. Picked Iron Will, still have Rusty but the marine just ignores it and can do intensive training, multiple missions back to back, etc.
Be awesome if their traits tied more into the otagos drama after missions. Like klypto got beat up cause he stole to much or clumsy tripped and sprained ankle. About the basic perks pouches is hands down one of the best starting perks. Battle spirit is a good one as well when paired with a radio sargent you get six command points.
The sergeants radio backpack gives you an additional command point without having 2 marines with the team spirit perk. Also the charismatic bonus also gives some early passive boosts to stress reduction. The honour ribbons as well work for the sergeant by giving him a bit of a minor boost to bravery. I always use the radio backpack and it's upgrades.
Accuracy is the best upgrade. (lets do simple math) Your medic has 35% ACC / and we assume every shot does 1 DMG So every 20 shots, 7 hit, 13 miss = 7 DMG now +5 ACC (40%) 8 hit, 12 miss = 8 DMG (some people be like that's not much.........) It's 14,3% !!! more DPS
Dismember and redemption are the best skills/perks imo. Anyway, to get the skills you want or to avoid some lame ones, if you have marines that leveled up, use REST feature (weld a door) or an elevator before you evacuate to ARC. A save will be made to be reloaded multiple times until your promoted marine will get the skills you want. Those 3 to pick from are randomly chosen every time. I just did this for the gunner, 5-6 times until he got "dead eye 3" , so the dude is a monster, i kinda feel bad for poor aliens rushing towards him
@@MistaFiOth Playing on nightmare, detection is a bit faster, must be in a good position to kill the target before it detects (i have the pheromones upgrade). If you know the game (finished on nightmare) and you are careful not to screw up, is quite easy. Dismember power, extract early, play safe and kill silently. To be honest, the game mechanics forces you play safe, is a bit unusual that regular kills don't award XP. Still bugs after update, but they will be eventually fixed after a few updates. I hope they will release sequels and dlcs, with more campaigns, scenarios cause even if game is awesome, there is not much fun replay it more than once (on highest difficulty). And I thought medic ability (30% healing) it will come in handy on max difficulty, is just not. Medic is only useful when you play the game the first time and you screw up a lot. For experienced player, medic class is totally useless. I prefer an extra sniper to kill patrols of two (xenos or cultists) instantly.
1. Sharpshooter (+15 aim at lvl 3) 2. Quick Hands (50% faster reload) 3. Resourcefulness (+1 ammo per tool per marine when resting) 4. Dead eye (+38% crit chance and dissmemberment at lvl 3) 5. Fast (3 levels) My 5 picks are primarily to assist with the fight before assisting with stress or trauma. Nice to have - 1 marine with smartass and 4 with team spirit. - Redempton - unbreakable will - mind of steel This adds to 15 which is the maxium on new game + Its very hard to roll only these perks on any 1 marine.
i would say pouches is first on two marines and ammo bags is important to have on at least two marines every time after. get two marines with pouches and then two with ammo bags so you start with 6 capacity tools and 6 ammo. after that you need the suppressive fire upgrade and then can go for more utility with things like accuracy and stuff. i would also say to never pick up ammo crates after you get 10 ammo in reserve to save it for later if needed, unless its in a area you wont be going back to for certain. also i would say at least one person, two is better, in every deployment should have resourceful for the free ammo with rests. more than two per team isnt really needed as better weapons will use less ammo later on and you really only need a little help keeping ammo up so you are not clearing the map of all of it and the upgrades are better for other things. on missions i had 3 marines with resourceful, on hard, i was evacuating with 15-30 ammo and leaving ammo crates everywhere. once you get the heavy weapons and enough command points to spam free kills without using ammo, your ammo consumption really drops using mines and snipes and a bit of patience.
@@MistaFiOth i guess playstyle can have a drastic affect on ammo consumption. especially if you are intentionally pulling hard onslaughts for the XP gain on every level vs being sneaky and avoiding increased aggression as much as possible
@@MistaFiOth i strongly suspect my hard play thru had a glitch, all of my marines ALWAYS came back with a wounded status, even if they never lost more than 1 HP, even with some having enduring perk, which reads like it shoudl mean 1 red vs 2 red HP for a wounded, vs light wounds, and needed 4-10 days worth of medical (7-10 days were the marines who actually got hurt to red HP). i needed two full fireteams and a couple of spares with decent levels to be able to not skip too many days waiting on a decent deployable fireteam. i literally had marines coming back with armor points that were flagged as wounded. it was like the acid sprays were ticking as HP damage even when no points were lost to armor or HP. i finished the game on hard with only 1 sgt, 2 gunners, 1 recon at level 10. and a bunch between level 6-8 with a medic at 9. the one and only time i didnt have a bunch of hurt marines was when i made a deployment back to see if i could recover my sentry guns in the mines trap room, i only had time to grab 2 of the 5 before the mission ended. when i found out that the elevator would no longer work, i instead farmed onslaughts to the ARC to at least get something for the deployment. which is why i know that onslaughts and class 2 xenos only get your marines 3xp each, as there was nothing else in the mission to do.
My fav traits r, redemption CAN be great...but it depends on how bad the negative trait the marine has...if they carry 1 less ammo, afaik thats not the worst, or 1 less health point, or maybe less xp...to me those arent the worst traits so redemption could be a waste. Deadeye, accuracy, and team spirit i go for consistent...if someone has those traits stacked, i hope they become a gunner. But if not, they get the upgraded pulse rifle with its superior rate of fire, and perhaps smg as secondary.
Redemption is good in most cases but, as you said, it can be a waste if the Marine has a good initial roll. Deadeye is always good, no matter who gets it. New to the game via Game Pass?
TIPS FROM SOMEONE WHO ACCOMPLISH HARD CAMPIGN. All these tips are good. Additionally . Get critical too with Dismember . On lvl 10 i had full TEAM crit. They criting like hell. Destroy as hell. Armor is meh. If you fucked up, you fucked up. Doesn’t matter, do you have 4 hp and 2 armor or 5 hp and 3 armor, you will go down. Maybe 1 more attack longer, one acid spit more but you will be punished for bad positioning. Not to mention insta deaths like queen. But damage! The only way to survive is kill them before they kill you. And best tip. - get tech, and scout map with drone. Imagine that you scout map and knows where to go, where are eggs to avoid, where ti get supplies. No facechecks with opening room door. Where find these stupid data pads for achievement. I unfortunately choose tech as my 5th. I thought medic will be better, but he is meh. Stealth kills, droning around, dropping everywhere in choke points radar to taunt on one side and you move on right is key to win nightmare. Play safe, hide, sneak, delay aggression. Don’t get caught stupidly. Kill when u must, you don’t get xp from kills, only xeno resource for upgrades. But you will farm enough from Bosses and defend part of map. Play safe and slowly, trust me, you will be proud of yourself. And also bonus tip: if you get caught and you alarmed xenos from one place and you can’t run away, activate nearby taunting device. They will instantly forget about you and go for radar so. Stupid but is working. And get rpg launcher to destroy these fucking queens asap . They are tanks asf
well i also spam shit ton of mines everywere they kill wandering aliens and cultists and dont set off alarm most of stealth missionas become a breeze with mines. Also yeah armor upgrade kinda shit. Its better to get Hp one because you can heal it unlike armor.
"How do I get out of this chicken-shit outfit?" Appreciate the tips, my G. I was apprehensive about this game at first but your day 1 gameplay stream really convinced me otherwise
@@MistaFiOth any indication of whether or not things will stack (such as Fast Squad) or is everything assumed to be stackable unless it specifically says that it's not?
Fast does NOT stack with the Recon's LVL 6 Ability. So it's wasted if you have a Recon in your Squad. Unless dictated otherwise, things should stack normally.
@@MistaFiOth I wasn't even thinking of the Recon, I haven't gotten my Recon to Lvl 6 yet. I was referring to multiple soldiers with Fast. It's come up as the best of the 3 options given to me, so now I have 2 or 3 Marines that may deploy together with it, so was just checking. Thanks
I have a question. Do all commandos in a squad have to have the Speed skill and it adds up? Can only 1 commando have a skill up to level 3 in a squad and that's enough? And how much Plunder skill do you need to have to be considered sufficient? If you buy all the weapons and upgrades for the squad, will the Materials resources become less useful?
If you have one Recon, having Fast does nothing. It's not stated, but I don't think it stacks with anything, including itself. Having some Looter Perks helps, but the vast majority of your expenses will be Weapon Research. After that, Resources become much less important.
This game is hard, I just rescued the APC but I've died sooo many times. I mine the crap out of the map, that's helped a lot. I'm wondering, does anyone ever use the Flame Unit?
@@MistaFiOth There is another way. When you return to the base, don't level up commandos right away when reporting. Do it in only the armory. If you don't like the 3 trump cards you have drawn, load the game and you can draw 3 other trump cards.
I think it’s better to wait till your Marine is lvl 3 before you start buying them perks. Top priority should be getting a medic and second a tecker and start giving them class-only perks. Having a medic that can heal wounds, revive a squaddie, and reduce stress will make missions so much smoother and having a lvl’ed up Tecker will allow you to open doors to create shortcuts or supply rooms thus eliminating the need for extra pouches or ammo. Once you have those two classes I do recommend giving your other marines the perks you listed.
It might come as a surprise, but the Medic is actually the most lackluster Class atm. There's a discussion going about whether or not they should be able to also heal stress. Tecker is very important though, I have to agree with that.
@@MistaFiOth i got a lot of use out of my medics late game, the passive heal on rest and 30% stress reduction on heal were pretty legit. mostly the passive healing though, for all of the acid sprays and saving med kits for when you really need them. i honestly didnt get much from the teckers, teh tool savings were not that needed for me thanks to careful use of tools. probably helped that i would reload if made major mistake though, like lost multiple sentry guns of something or lost a marine over something dumb
Terrible underthought video. Looter is a terrible Perk, the cost-benefit does not add up at all, you get plenty of supplies by being thorough and you are wasting valuable level up perks that could go to effects that increase the marines potency in combat.
Got a marine with the Stubborn personality trait: Attributes will be selected automatically at random. First auto pick was: redemption.
Pretty much. :P
Where is the harsh language and sharp sticks upgrade pack?
Keep 'em hidden until we have no alternatives!

but does iron will stop exhastion too? its only stated it stops effects of tired.
@@Jimoshi1 yep tool tip needs to be changed as its misleading, I would of gotten it if I knew it did both
Excellent advice man have been loving Dark Decent so far.

Good to know in case people ask about SD optimization. Thanks a mil, Paul!

I like the 20% wider clip on gunners, 180 bullets just feels right.
Totally agree. I use it too.
I get the aim.upgrade, more accurate fire = less bullets used+kill enemies faster
Viable choice.
Accuracy is the best upgrade. (lets do simple math)

8 hit, 12 miss = 8 DMG
(some people be like that's not much.........)
It's 14,3% !!! more DPS
Yup, upping the chance for each bullet to put in work is important. Every min-maxer knows that.
Nice!
35 is actually 50 in the field, it seems that some tooltips are broken
Yup. All Marines have the same base stats.
actual base accuracy is 50 if not tired, if it still shows 35% - it's a visual bug (according to devs). Still best upgrade

I hoped we can choose freely not random 3 traits i like getting redemtpion with accuracy dead eye
There is a lot of RNG involved in this game. The Upgrades are just a small part.
you can reroll it same as with classes just exit promotion and start again before mb changed marine few times and get back
I have a question. Do all commandos in a squad have to have the Speed skill and it adds up? Can only 1 commando have a skill up to level 3 in a squad and that's enough?
And how much Plunder skill do you need to have to be considered sufficient? If you buy all the weapons and upgrades for the squad, will the Materials resources become less useful?
If you have one Recon, having Fast does nothing. It's not stated, but I don't think it stacks with anything, including itself. Having some Looter Perks helps, but the vast majority of your expenses will be Weapon Research. After that, Resources become much less important.

Very possible. It's totally up to RNG.
How can I get Redemption to rid a personality trait? Thanks
The Commons you get are rolled randomly each time the Marine levels up. You just have to be a bit lucky.
@@MistaFiOth thanks! Great tips bud
My pleasure! Stick around for more!
@@MistaFiOth There is another way. When you return to the base, don't level up commandos right away when reporting. Do it in only the armory. If you don't like the 3 trump cards you have drawn, load the game and you can draw 3 other trump cards.
If you play on "No One Can Hear You Scream", there are no such luxuries, mate.
this advice might be good on other difficulties, but on nightmare???
I am playing Nightmare on stream these days. Basic principles apply. Come discuss your point of view!
Is there a trick to getting the Gunner class to role I've leveled up like five characters to level 3 and I haven't got the role yet
It's all RNG, my man. Reload a previous save if you don't get what you want, it can come right away or literally never.
just exit promotion dude and promote this marine again it will reroll perks and classes.
“you don’t want to lose materials because one of your marines is a freaking idiot” 😂😂😂😂
Well, it's true!
I like you, you have good energy
Thank you for the kind words and generosity, Magnus!
I might be blind, but how do I make one of my marines a class (i.e. gunner, Medic, etc.)? I am pretty new and only am at LVL 2 for most of my marines.
You pick at Promotion Level 3.
Fast may stack 1 time but there is no way it stacks fully, with 4 fasts they are definitly not moving noticably faster then 1.
Does not stack at all. It's in the description of the Recon's Perk.
Heavy Heart is a pain in the @$$ trait. I have 1 marine who has it and I cant wait to get rid of it.
True... Get that Redemption ASAP.
Game is much more enjoyable than fireteam elite, I’m loving it
You prefer RTS games over Shooters?
@@MistaFiOth I enjoy both genres but the atmosphere in dark descent is more well done
@@Oniontrololol hands down way better. Fireteam elite starts off fine and then becomes boring shit show.
I would like the video but it is currently at 420 likes and I don't want to ruin the moment. I'll come back later.
Dayum son, blaze it!
It is now 421. Like deployed.
My man! o7
I think it’s better to wait till your Marine is lvl 3 before you start buying them perks. Top priority should be getting a medic and second a tecker and start giving them class-only perks. Having a medic that can heal wounds, revive a squaddie, and reduce stress will make missions so much smoother and having a lvl’ed up Tecker will allow you to open doors to create shortcuts or supply rooms thus eliminating the need for extra pouches or ammo. Once you have those two classes I do recommend giving your other marines the perks you listed.
It might come as a surprise, but the Medic is actually the most lackluster Class atm. There's a discussion going about whether or not they should be able to also heal stress. Tecker is very important though, I have to agree with that.
@@MistaFiOth i got a lot of use out of my medics late game, the passive heal on rest and 30% stress reduction on heal were pretty legit. mostly the passive healing though, for all of the acid sprays and saving med kits for when you really need them. i honestly didnt get much from the teckers, teh tool savings were not that needed for me thanks to careful use of tools. probably helped that i would reload if made major mistake though, like lost multiple sentry guns of something or lost a marine over something dumb
Marines s@ck!!! But Me with vraki ...i'm OP.
Aspeeda & Vrakee = One Combo To Rule Them All!
@@MistaFiOth and sometimes when i get sweaty,i put my vraki on my shield to dry
xD xD xD
Damn this game is hard. I'm getting my ass kicked.
What setting are you playing on, mate?
Terrible underthought video. Looter is a terrible Perk, the cost-benefit does not add up at all, you get plenty of supplies by being thorough and you are wasting valuable level up perks that could go to effects that increase the marines potency in combat.
You came into this video, that's helped thousands of people, after more than a year, to type this? Sheesh...
