The key to the damage is Dreadbound has no reload as long as you are hitting something and the rate of fire increases the closer you get because you can send back your projectiles as soon as they return. I'd also suggest trying to tap fire for distant or flying targets and do not lay heavily on the fire button unless you're certain the shots will hit something. Angle the shot slightly downwards or towards a wall when possible so it at least hits a wall or the ground and quickly comes back when you miss. Holding the fire button all the time like you might with Hollowseeker or the carbine is what gets people into trouble and unable to shoot for a few seconds.
I wanted to use that fun so bad but I knew I had a game winning build with my Hallowseeker ft Portal Beam lvl 2, with a parasite keeping my chance of keeping an item on use at 20% and I just paid 15 ether for the artifact that gives 30% chance of keeping item on use and they stacked together. Sure enough I won the game and didn’t even need the items with that gun I had ! You made me wanna replay and use that gun it’s badass and you’re very good at this game !
Mad skill in executing this in terms of dodge timing and targeting etc! In terms of damage output though, you are at max proficiency, level 5 adrenaline, probably a few traits, and 5x weapon damage increase buff, so the rate at which you smash enemies is to be expected.
I had buffs and solid gear accumulated from running from biomes 4 through 6, but the weapon traits were tier 1 including the inactive trait that was leveling.
I think what I like about Dread maw the most is, unlike the spitmaw, Dreadmaw really rewards you risking your health and adrenaline levels for an absolutely disgusting damage output, were as the spitmaw is just...a wet napkin lmao
The way I got a of health was picking up the parasite that heals you per kill. Then at the end of the biome detached the parasite then pick up all the left over health
Honestly man for biome 6 I only use the hollowseeker with the portal beam and portal turret trait. It makes this biome sooo easy. Although dreadbound is a great weapon.
Every gun in this game right the fight attachments can be disgusting. Sure some weapons when you start using are pretty op for just shoot and run pylon, but then get some good attachments even on the spitmaw or dreadbound and they can tear it up. The shredder on the final boss with the right attachments kill the boss in one shot.
@@AKSBSU man that seems impossible, I just beat the music boss in bio 2 last night. When I heard 6 this morning my expectations of beating the game went down. Super challenging, hated at first but really fun to play
@@jds6014 By biomes he means the world the leads up to each boss. You said you beat the music boss (Dude playing organ), so I assume Hyperion, that’s actually biome 4, and you “Only” have 2 more to go. Although you currently are in Act 2, so maybe that what you were thinking of.
@@anthonycaraballo6547 yea the acts is where I was getting confused, I finally beat the game. I’ll be honest very casual gamer and just got ps5. This game was so addicting and I never dreamed I’d beat it. Now I’m hooked on the tower. I hope they come out with some expansion packs
A little late but it's first unlocked in the reward room in the lower area of the challenge arena in biome 5, which is a mandatory room to beat to get to biome 6. Easy to miss the reward room if you don't use the minimap I guess.
I've been very unlucky with drops that had a decent damage stat mainly having the upgradeable component being an alt like Shieldbreaker III instead of the weapon traits most of the time. I think I only have one or two traits that are at tier II as a result, and I think that is the obolite farming perk. I don't think I'm in a position to definitively say what traits are best when most of mine are still at tier 1 due to rotten RNG. I've liked Fourth Shard and Exploding Shard but really need to see how powerful they are when upgraded. I think there is a trait that can stagger and another that gives you extra defense/ Protection. I'm definitely interested in giving those a try on a mostly close range weapon.
@@AKSBSU 👌 nicely done! I personally think the best 4 traits are exploding shard, expanding shard, fourth shard and staggering being the best one of all 4. If you have the unified pod artifact with five parasites attached and staggering trait as well? Lol every enemy in the game instantly gets stunned/staggered the moment you hit them. Side note...pyroshell caster is even better than dreadbound if you spend the time unlocking all the traits. 4 best being Streamlined chamber, seeking flares, simmering explosion and auxiliary projectiles
@@gregelden8611 I've been working on upgrading traits. Seeking Flares are definitely strong. I'm trying to get the staggering trait upgraded on Dreadbound. I noticed it stunned a rocket drone pretty thoroughly and wanted to see what a really good roll with that trait could do.
It could save you in one of those little secret rooms with the malformed minibosses. I think they are harder than the biome bosses, but the Dreadbound destroys them.
Weird how YT knew that today I finally fell in love with this gun
i can't believe you melted that last mini-boss so fast. He's ended my runs a couple of times.

When I did this room I had to fight two of those guys at once.
the mini boss is harder then the actual boss :)
100%, those mini bosses can be brutal if they corner you
yeah i know right i beat the final boss first try but these guys always gave me trouble
Every mini boss is harder than the actual boss (unless you spam the grappling hook techinque).
It's one of my favorite weapon. It requires for you to get up close with the enemies. I would said this is a high risk and high reward weapon.

This is one of my fav weapons, it does some serious damage at close distance
Wie heist diese Waffe
Was sind die besten eigenschaften
People sleep on some of this game's weapons because they start with no traits leveled.
Good aiming! At first I thought you were using a mouse but realized the video is older than the pc version.
This gun is insanely good

@@AKSBSU thanks for the info. awesome video!
The "5x" refers to a boost here; it's 5*5% bonus, not 5x damage. (So 125% vs. 500%)
Congrats, I need to give that gun another look obviously lol
That gun is underrated specially when you unlock 4 shards, it helped me beat the game, the hollowseeker is my second favorite.
Oof all of that with a Dreadbound. You're crazy! ( In a good way). My movement is not good enough to play that gun.
I think what I like about Dread maw the most is, unlike the spitmaw, Dreadmaw really rewards you risking your health and adrenaline levels for an absolutely disgusting damage output, were as the spitmaw is just...a wet napkin lmao
Never used this weapon will try it out
That is A LOT of health!
I was doing full Acts in one run, 1 through 3 and 4 through 6. I kept picking up resin and increasing my health bar over time.
The way I got a of health was picking up the parasite that heals you per kill. Then at the end of the biome detached the parasite then pick up all the left over health
Monster gun!!
Honestly man for biome 6 I only use the hollowseeker with the portal beam and portal turret trait. It makes this biome sooo easy. Although dreadbound is a great weapon.
For those fast moving kamikaze squid things in biome 6, the hollowseeker is definitely the easiest option

Best weapon.
Master G
Yo that weapon is really for up close and personal range until u unlock the return shot trait... only then will u be shredding Hostiles ...easy peezy
What gun?
Lol there are 6 biomes? I thought I beat the game yesterday by beating the first! I’ll never beat 6+! How many is there?
6 biomes in the basic game. I haven’t tried the free expansion stuff yet.

I got the platinum for this game and never found this gun. Where do I even find it? Can't find any help online either.
Somewhere in the 6th biome...i ran into it but never picked it up because i had a weapon i was comfortable with. Now I can’t seem to find it anymore
@@imSLO- it's so weird how most people never found it. I actually thought it was a special edition weapon or something

Am i the only one that saw the description? 😂

Portal Turret and Portal Beam are the best thing you can ever wish for
Don't think that your empirical evidence will sway me from what I've chosen to believe.
