>have all the special blueprints

I'm all set, just need to do diamond 1 at the end of each week and I'm set

About to fight u10 for the first time. What should I expect?

>>15837609

HEY ASSHOLE

EAT THIS

>>15837609

She's been nerfed quite a bit since release, but could still be dangerous if you're undergeared. Just keep running around and you'll find the openings pretty quickly.

The biggest bullshit with U-10 isn't with the boss itself, it's what comes after. You after to take the stairs behind her to advance. F34 Nitandia's layout is completely random, so there's a possibly you'll be forced to fight Lvl 10 Coen before you can unlock the Togoose-Nitandia gate.

And if you fuck up along the way, then you have to fight U-10 all over again.

>>15837609

Watch a guide video first or you'll be guaranteed to pay the 250k resurrection cost.

>>15838763

how much reloading speed does the Dr Peace decal reduce?

is it the same effect as Juggler, or less than juggler?

>>15838763

whoa whoa whats all this?

>>15838814

he has 9 out of the 10 decals and is missing one, the Travis one.

>>15838845

What I was gathering from the picture is that he is somehow playing as travis and the decals allow that. I'm wrong aren't I?

>>15838867

yeah you are entirely wrong. the decals are decals. you put them on your fighters for stat bonuses.

these collab events have a rule that whenever you purchase a stew, you get 1 random decal from those 10, and you cannot get a repeated decal UNTIL you intentionally reset the pool yourself. so ideally you'd want 1 of each decal. the greyed out ones are the ones he already has. the light up ones are the ones he doesn't have.

me personally, i got Travis on my 2nd stew. i also got Shinobu, Bad Girl, and Speedbuster. i'd really like to get Dr. Peace for that reload speed, but i dont think it will be as effective as Juggler which im never ever gonna get because shit luck

>>15838814

>>15838867

There's a NMH event going on. The travis one is the best decal since machetes are one of the best weapon types on the game. There's 10 decals, each costs 10 DM (premium currency) each and you get a random one. He's going to have to spend 100DM to get the one he wants.

>>15838959

he already spent 90, so all he needs is another 10 and he'll get it.

me? im up shit creek without a paddle. i bought the beam katana at the beginning so that set me down 20 DM, and got 45 since, bought 4 decals, and im missing 55 more to buy the rest. and we're not getting into any fights anytime soon. besides we lost last fight big time.

>>15838798

I gave it a quick try on a cheep magnum, the reload went from about 3 seconds too about 2. No idea how that stacks up next to Juggler.

>>15839716

is serial killer that good? i mean, considering that 70% of the haters inside tengoku use kamas, or nailguns, or other shitty ranged weapons that are hard to dodge and will always get at least 1 hit in, you're going to get hit pretty frequently. and that just resets your SK all the time.

>>158407101

By combining it with other damage decals you can make it so you can kill haters before they even engage you. Fights should last a lot less time with 2x damage active so there is less chance of getting hit too. The biggest problem in tengoku is of course the bosses, and having 2x damage against them seems like it'll make life a lot easier. I haven't actually done a 51+ run with it yet though. I've been working on getting the assault force set up because I just got both serial killer and trigger happy yesterday. I haven't even really been using serial killer for farming mats either because I don't need the damage on floors under 50 and the screen effect is annoying. Trigger happy is really nice though. It essentially makes the kamas into a light machine gun with 90/3600 ammo and adds 15% damage when you're at max health which I mostly am during tengoku runs because of vampire. I don't foresee myself ever having to use anything other than the kamas again now that I've got a +9 RE, +7 normal, and trigger happy.

did anybody get more than 3 targets in the current fight?

>>15842212

I got 3.

Would you niggers stop picking fights with teams that have less than 2 active players?

>>15843135

at least those guarantee everyone gets some DM. we need to get into more fights. with anyone.

>>15843203

Then look for high pop with a low average rank for a steamroll.

>>15843231

the problem with high pop teams is that you get far less hate. starting a fight is really hard with big teams. we would have to collectively invade the same team for days just to get enough.

I really would've enjoyed this game if every weapon didn't break in some hits.

>>15843702

We all do anon.

you think im going to get any DM? h-ha ha…

So these new dev haters are using flash boiler to give themselves rage moves. I wonder if we can make our expedition hunters use rage moves by giving them that decal too. I really want to send some sniper rifle or fire work build haters that have a rage move out if we ever go to war with California.

I realized today how expensive the machete is upgrade. 3 star requires red metal, which is when Jin-Die starts exploding, while the sword doesn't require red till 4 and goto is easier to get to.

>>15846372

What matters more than the stars of the equipment is its tier. All normal stuff starts off at tier 1 and gets a tier 2, 3, and 4 as you upgrade. Tier 4 can then be uncapped to +5. The machete's tier 3 is only 3* while the sword's is 4*, but they both start taking red metals at that point. I think most normal equipment follows that rule of taking red metals on both tier 3 and 4. The machete ends up eating 26 red metals, and the longsword ends up eating 20. So it is a relatively similar total number. You're definitely right about red War Ensembles being a bitch to farm though. Basically everything I want to upgrade takes them now. Each piece of gear needs 20+ total, and I'm completely burnt out on the 2 minute loading screen, 3 minute running, and 10 second boss fight format of the farm. Not to mention the metal drop rate for that particular jin-die seems to be about 50% as opposed to every other boss's 80%. Upgrading an entire set of War Ensemble armor takes over 60 metals and each metal probably takes 10 minutes once you factor in no drop runs. So you're looking at a possible total of 10 hours of mind numbing farming for the red metals in your armor alone. I've gotten to the point where I farm recycle points through the tdm to get red War Ensembles, and I drop 6 star materials and any faction's purple metals before them in tengoku.

God damn, this game is going to test my autism. I need about a million cotton to R&D all the fucking armor upgrades for the basic 1★ armor. Will the funshots be worth it, or should I focus on upgrading weapons first?

So the game crashed on me when I was going up an escalator, because of some faulty file. I expected to be dead after doing a file check but my character was just fine.

Did the game realize I crashed instead of forcing an exit, or is the threat of killing me when I log out outside the waiting room only real for actually quitting the game via menu?

>>15847170

Sometimes when you crash on an esc, you'll return to the floor. be fast though

>>15846372

>shoot jin die to death in a about 3 seconds with a 6* all rounder and +2 giga kamas RE

wew

2 more defenses and i'll complete the 50/50 quest.

who wants to bet the rainbow bag is going to give me a shuriken BP or something fucking retarded like that?

>>15848724

Enjoy your 500k splithium.

>currently fighting Hyogo

what the fuck? who even invaded these guys?

>>15854722

>>15854741

I did 1 floor and came back. Only 1 valve was open but I was able to open all of them for some reason.

And yeah, theres like 3 boxes back there with nothing in them, what a shame.

>>15855884

you're supposed to survive the ambushes in 3 other floors. look it up because i dont remember which ones. i think one of them is KANO, you'll get ambushed several times through each floor and if you survive and activate all the valves, those orange valves in your pic will become green.

but again, there's nothing there. like the entire concept of rewarding exploration was scrapped after vanilla. a real shame.

>>15856931

Haters definitely level up as you go higher. I've also had Crowley appear at floor 100 enough to really get on my nerves. He's blocked me from double black roid spawns even. The next time I meet that piece of shit I'm killing him with my kamas regardless of how many bullets it takes.

>>15858012

>Haters definitely level up as you go higher.

i knew it. i couldn't be the only one who noticed how strong they get compared to haters at floor 52-60. i think its because after floor 80, they become double uncapped haters, and the stat boosts for the 2nd uncap are insane. the shooter for example gets 24 DEX per point, and nearly 1k HP for point upgraded. so a fully uncapped Shooter-type hater with 35 points on every stat would have about 15k HP and 420 dex, without decals.

argentina is not white

>>15858912

i dont even think theres any of those "kill everything" quests where a secondary elevator would be helpful, except for the two ones that expect you to go from 1F to 40F/41F, but those are fucking retarded and nobody has ever done them to my knowledge.

anybody else getting these connection problems? or is it just me?

>>15861213

Nope, game is running like shit since last week. Can't connect without having to do stupid fucking work arounds or I get stuck on an infinite loading screen with uncle death on his skateboard. Almost missed my login bonus because of this shit, and I can't even realiably fucking grind revenge TDM to make up points.

>>15861952

i was just doing my daily climb to 100F+ and started getting that black box connection "Error" that gives you a YES/NO prompt, i kept hitting yes until it would resume the game but it happened on literally every floor. i was scared i'd get disconnected and lose all that work only to end up dying in the most stupid way to an easy boss on floor 105. fuck my life

>>15861979

If you do get disconnected on floor 100 it should still have your loot for floors up to 99, but you'd have to re climb. I was actually thinking about disconnecting on red napalm fights and only reconnecting if I won. That way I could save my mushrooms in case I ended up dying cat's eye and rib umbrella to an extent are a bitch to farm, but I've gotten to the point where I can bully her now so I never actually tried it. Maybe I'll give it a go on pale wind to save on golden life shrooms or something.

>>15862319

your loot is never deleted, but the climb man… it takes me a good 4 hours to get to 100F. luckily it didn't happen but still, i'd be real upset if it did. i still died like a bitch in 2 hits of zombie max's drill because im a stupid faggot who doesn't know how to time the reloading animation.

>>15862353

Nice find if you're still in the low ranks.

>>15862532

>>15862353

as much as i like the idea of having a permanently regenerating HP, the speed at which it acts upon your character is just not efficient enough to justify using a decal slot when you go up to tengoku

>>15862573

Vampire is pretty hard to beat up there.

>>15862971

>get sword addict

Well, its something I guess.

>>15862971

>pulled a second rifle addict this morning

I kind of wish we could trade decals. I really want to get a premium heavy tank, diamond, flash boiler, and sniper set bonus. There are probably decent ways to get your damage up in the meantime though. Getting your kamas level up to +14 takes the damage up about 20% from +9. 2nd character uncap gives 40% increase to dexterity (300 to 420) on shooter and a 7th decal slot. Iron Eagle RE helmet gives an extra 16% dex. 2x one shot one kills make headshots hit for about 4x damage which melts bosses. Barbarian gives a slightly worse modifier than the addict, but it also affects sniper rifles, magnums, m2g-87s, rocket launchers, and the katana. Crit % decals probably only worth it if you have crit damage too, barbell if you have it, and super hero combine with vampire also boost 1 handed weapons to give you some more options for damage elements on Jin-die, Jackson, Crowley, and the leader's wheels haters they added in. Just keep raiding the guys with 50k+ kc everyday, and you'll get what you need eventually. Giant slayer is a solid build for tdm if you're missing the premiums for the addict, barbarian, and one shot one kill. Most people that stop leveling defenders early stop at about 90, but I've seen some go as low as 60. It's the equivalent of have 2x addicts for every weapon, and you can also use those 1 handed weapons pretty well for more damage types. You'll definitely outgrow giant slayer once you can get the 2nd uncap, but a shooter with the giant slayer build is actually pretty good for base defense because it gives some of the best damage modifiers to the firework launcher rage move.

I didn't see the roid cost for the 2nd uncap listed anywhere online. So I'll just write it up here: 3 green, 2 black, 3 black, 1 red, 1 purple for each stat; 1, 2, 3(?) red for the bag slots; and 3 red for the decal slot. It also costs a good amount more of bloodnium for each level.

>>15865384

>a second rifle addict

no wonder im not getting any because this guy is getting them all

i just got Firestarter 3 times in a row. what the fuck is wrong with your RNG shroom lady

capturing another THOT for team akita.

start invading osaka already so we can get into a fight.

When a quest says "climb from x to x killing everybody without changing weapons" what does that actually mean, if I equip a bunch of the same weapon before setting out and switch as durability gets low does that constitute it or do I essentially have to use fists or repair shrooms/have a single weapon with enough damage/durability to last the whole way?

>>15862971

I think it's a single weapon not a single weapon type. You should probably be fine as long as you've got a forcemen or +5 weapon anyways. A set bonus that gives reduced weapon ammo/durability loss like the buzzsaw or kamas ones might let you do it too. If you don't have any of that, then just save the quest for when you get to that point. Definitely don't use a fun fungus on that quest.

I recently switched teams from the one I started with to Alaska with the reasoning being my own desperate desire to guarantee regular fights for a chance at getting a lot of Death Metals, hoping to get enough regular fights to get at least one or two NMH decals before the collab ends. But it's been a few days and unless I missed one or more 24 hour fights in that timespan, Alaska hasn't even gotten into one. I'm starting to think I'd be better off going back to Tokyo. It's said a fight has been about to start with various teams multiple times but I've never seen it happen.

What's the ideal team to be on to get constant fights? I was sure it would be Alaska.

>>15869665

most people on this thread play on Akita.

>Love Grasshopper

>Know about this game being PS4 exclusive

>Just find out it's also on PC

It would be the only reason I'd download steam. Wonder if it can run on my shitty PC.

>>15869979

did you lose against a bunch of grade 1 fighters?

>>15869996

this shit consumes nearly 8gb of ram. just warning you.

>>15870000

They were all equipped with shit well out of reach of a rank 1 fighter, you have to get fireball baton blueprints off of chargers which would require getting past floor 10.

Literal botnet game.

>>15870052

>botnet

Are you going to explain this or are you just going to drive by shitpost?

>>15869996

I have a 2011 toaster and it runs pretty well. Uses all my 8GB of ram, so alt tabbing in and out takes a minute. It's fine otherwise.

Thats not a botnet. Thats a honeypot

>>15869979

I've invaded low ranks with strong weapons in the past, usually they still go down fast because their armor isn't as good as their weapons.

>>15870522

Well this guy was decked out in full Sengoku and Travis stuff on top of all those weapons.

>>15871067

What would you play if you had a better PC anyway? Most good games can run on this machine, including stuff you can emulate.

>>15870525

What weapon, upgrade level, and fighter are you using? I could see easily breaking that setup with a grade 2 shooter using a t1+4 kamas. It would probably be harder on the melee equivalent, but I could see doing it as long as you have poison eater and some armor that isn't about to break. Most of those weapons really aren't that great once you get to know their style, and it seems like an issue of you not having explored the tower to the same part as that guy. Judging by the rank I'd say you're the one that is behind average on gear here. Abuse shop day, Friday and Sunday, for an early tier 4 kamas if you want to be able to raid almost anyone.

>>15870525

>>15871092

and Wednesday*

>>15871092

Was a rank 3 collector with upgraded longswords, flamethrower +2, red hot iron +, 2nd tier of Travis Touchdown stuff, I have no problem with rank 50's and yet this faggot rank 9 happens. I just needed a quick fucking raid to refresh the death prime box so I could turn the game off without missing out on a box because it doesn't return unless you raid or get back from the tower.

>>15871083

This game.

>>15865384

im 16 million coins into stews and no rifle addicts. i keep getting the same decal twice, even thrice in a row. and i just cant figure out the RNG pattern.

all i know is that if you buy and skip the animation really quick and then buy and skip again you often get the same decal you got the first time, unless you let a part of the animation play.

its almost as if the decal you will get is predetermined outside the mushroom club and it constantly hops around, as if the RNG used the server's clock to determine which decal you'll get and if you do the purchase/skipping really quick you can get two of the same because the timeframe to get X decal hasn't passed to the timeframe for the next. its just like a little pattern i've recognized.

>>15873562

Assault rifle addict isn't as important as you probably think it is. I'm guessing you don't have serial killer, trigger happy, and juggler yet if you do you should really stop complaining. 100% damage increase, 15% damage damage increase + 3x ammo, and 5x faster reloading are all way bigger buffs than 30% more damage. How many decal slots do you have and what are they filled with at the moment?

>>15873758

i got none of those. i dont even have premium barbarian because the game's RNG is biased to giving you repeated decals instead of ones that you don't have.

so if you dont get all those decals you mentioned and barbarian early you won't ever get them. the more decals you get the harder it gets to receive ones you never got before.

im using Dr. Peace from the collab event as replacement Juggler even though its not as fast as juggler.

>>15873837

Keep farming, but don't burn yourself out. I spent 3-6 mil a day for about 2 weeks, and I only really log in to check the hernia now that I got my decals I wanted. I advise stopping yourself once the richest targets have <10k kc at the latest. It's just not worth farming money past that point. If you get a barbarian before 30 mil you've got better luck than me.

apparently if you reach floor 251, uncle death sends you a special email and automatically kicks you off the tower.

so, that's the current "top" of the tower of barbs, mechanically speaking.

>>15873956

im 24 millions spent in. no sign of any of the kamas-centered decals.

>get a magnum addict and vigilante decals a while back

>uncap magnum and try it out in F51+

>works pretty good

Shame it sucks for bosses. Maybe I'll still use them. Gonna be a while before I get all the Iron Eagle REs though.

So, that's two fights in a row I have gotten zero fight targets in a row. Has anybody else experienced this shit?

>>15876491

whats your team and whats your rank

>>15876508

Platinum 1, Akita. We just had two fights where the game gave me nobody to fight, so I lost out on participating in both.

>>15876518

no that's your TDM tier, i mean your player rank.

>>15876532

Oh, about 47, I'd have to log in again to see exactly.

>>15876482

You can run that with the iron eagle RE set which is pretty good.

>>15876574

well, it could be that for starters. but there might be other factors. really hard to believe you wouldn't get even a single target considering that fights are supposed to remove or widen the margin of targets that you can invade.

>>15875893

Am I missing something or is this decal mediocre?

+10% is what you get from 1 star decals like samurai, but DWM has more strict requirements than those. Why the 3 stars?

>>15880011

yeah. it is in fact quite mediocre.

its good if you combine it i guess? because you can put a dualwielding master and say, a samurai, and each will give you 10% accumulative. but on the whole, its pretty shitty.

and of course instead of barbarian i get that garbage.

>>15880011

I'd rather use +7% damage/ defense with faction gear or stack crit rate and crit damage if that is an option. 1 handed weapons get kind of shafted on decals in general though.

The game is indeed rigged to give you dupe decals, and the reason for that is recycle points

>>15880425

>playing freemium cancer

>not expecting maximum kikery

You have only yourself to blame

>>15882950

>You have only yourself to blame

blame myself for what? i swear you "freemium cancer xDD" guys are like vultures, always waiting to get your opinion fellated.

just saying, if anybody wants to support the game, do so, but don't spend death metals on stew because the whole thing is rigged. its better to buy an express pass.

this deduction came from buying stew exclusively with killcoins, not death metals. so im giving everyone a warning, the stew is rigged unless its a collab event like the NMH one going on.

>>15882937

that makes no sense as a justification. they could make the decal generation be truly random and people would still recycle decals at the end of the day. its just so obvious though, that everytime you buy stew they look at your "book" in the rolodex and pick something you already got before to give you another with like a 90% chance and a 10% chance of giving you something you don't have, and the more shit you get, the more the chance bias passes from the 10% to the 90%.

there weren't any recycle points during the first year or so of the game and the decal generator was still bullshit like its now, just saying.

>>15882950

>state obvious

>expect to be taken seriously

>>15882937

>>15883073

Also seems if you recycle your dupes it will still give you the same damn shit again. I can tank my +50% stam and rage decals and I'll still get them almost immediately again.

>>15883106

I am inclined to believe that it is weighted towards a specific set of decals for everyone. I think there are hidden rarity tiers within the tiers that we can see. Marathon runner for example seems to be in a very common tier for 3 star decals, but barbarian and one shot one kill are in a tier that seems to be more rare than some of the shitty 4 star decals. I think they definitely fucked up on calling the time for their random number generator which leads to weird back to back pulls sometimes, but I am not quite convinced that each bad roll makes good rolls harder to get yet. My own experience is a bit mixed. I got juggler at about 5 million kc, and I never saw another one pop up in the 50 million I've put in since. On the other hand, one shot one kill only showed up at 30 million, but I think I've got 3 or 4 of them now. One thing to keep in mind is that your odds for new stuff might not necessarily be lowered even if the odds are taking into account what you've already got. I could actually see a drawing scheme that increases your odds as you go being a thing. The system could be designed so that it rolls on which star to pull from, then which hidden tier within the star to pull from, and finally which decal from that tier to give. If a rare decal is drawn for the first time it is put into a less rare hidden tier, and thus starts to get drawn more. If this is the model they used, your chances are getting better with each new decal instead of worse. For example: The top rarity tier for 3 star decals might be 1% of all 3 star decals and start with barbarian, one shot one kill, and dual wielding master. Without any of those drawn you'd have a .33% chance of getting what you wanted if you were after barbarian in particular. Once you pull a dual wielding master it gets knocked down to a more common tier and the pool consists of barbarian and one shot kill leaving you a .5% chance to get what you want. You're now pulling multiple dual wielding masters, but they're overwriting what would have been indomitable spirits, marathon runners, and shock absorbers.

If I've got the time and the energy to bother with it, I might see if I can use cheat engine or something to get a bunch of stew on new burner accounts. Then I'll record the results and compare it to what I get on my main account with the same amount of money. Making the steam accounts seems like it would be a pain in the ass though, and getting banned at this point for fucking it up somehow would be annoying.

>>15883304

i dont think you can cheat engine through it. because when you buy stew the game contacts the server to generate the decal. it will see that your killcoins (in the server) are not enough to purchase stew, and give you an error message most likely a ban too

>>15883330

Most of the information is server side with fail-checks. But for some reason quest completion is possible to fake.

>>15883330

I'll try walking into f1 of barbs changing my money, and then returning to my waiting room. Hopefully money is just updated when you change zones and there isn't a log on where it came from. It's fine as long as I can get the mushroom stew purchases in before I get banned. I'm somewhat optomistic about the chances of this working because this is a somewhat old ps4 game that had a PC port made by the Japanese. They aren't usually known for their experience with PC ports, and hopefully the game was old enough that they didn't care too much when porting it.

> most likely a ban too

Yeah, that's part of the reason I'm not sure I've got the energy to do it today. I'd want to set up a new partition to boot from so that none of my account's stuff is tied to it locally, set up a bunch of new steam accounts, and then run it over a vpn.

>>15883387

I could even try faking the dm ones and doing dm stews if that is the cases.

>>15883387

may dog bless you on your endeavors then. maybe you can at least crack some of the logic behind it.

also start invading Bahrain, we're one invasion away from a fight

>>15883455

It's even better when you get dex to 35. It jumps from 300 to 420. That means it's basically a free 2 barbarians more compared to your old damage.

>>15883528

im already 32/35 on DEX. but the roids are too hard to get.

>>15883565

Once you get past the 2 and 3 black roids levels you only need 1 red and 1 purple to go the rest of the way. If you're already down to just 3 more blacks I'd prioritize getting those. Don't bother leveling stamina or luck though. You only get 1 point per level from what I've seen.

>>15884018

One of them is probably enough. You should look into going with giant slayer if that is available to you. You'll get 30% more damage against the targets you need damage for.

That poor barbell

>>15883398

>They aren't usually known for their experience with PC ports, and hopefully the game was old enough that they didn't care too much when porting it.

This is true but they changed the offsets in the recent update, so I sadly can't help your research at this time.

>>15886878

immediate access to the 9th slot

>>15887994

but you don't get better stats/higher cap to compensate for that difference.

>>15888031

And you need to sink a ton of roids to get the skill slots for other classes, thats the trade off.

>>15888045

well, when they release orange/platinum roids and non SM fighters can unlock the 8th decal slot, SM is going to be pretty much dead on the water.

>>15888031

Do you have numbers on what skill masters get at 35? I'd probably be willing to run one over a shooter if they get 300+ dex. I don't want to waste a bunch of black roids just to see they cap out at 200 dex though.

>>15888352

i got no idea, but i doubt it'll be anywhere near the whole 420 of shooter

>>15888458

I raided all 3 targets I had before 5 am, but there was no one in diamond for me to reraid after the reset. I also farmed up to mid diamond 2 so dropping my rank to theirs seems like it'd be more trouble than it is worth. I wonder if Akita has gotten too bloated lately. A few weeks to a month ago it seems like they wouldn't have had raid targets either because everyone had a decent defense on our side.

>>15888489

I only had 2 targets, nothing else popped up for me.

Also it feels like a large amount of people just sit idle in their waiting room during fights to reduce targets.

>>15888489

yeah we have 300 people now, akita getting too much excess fat?

>>15888599

the viper is kind of a shit weapon. its flashy but the moveset is slow and leaves a lot of openings, its like its trying to be a melee weapon and an armor burner but doesn't excel at either.

>>15888641

Yeah it's pretty slow, seems more like a weapon of opportunity than something to use as your main focus like a machete or a KAMAS.

>>15888720

i dont know what the hell were they thinking during design phase with it.

fun fact: the weapon has been in the "rack" behind hitler in the shop since day 1 of the game, but the weapon originally wasn't even in the game. they first added it to the chargers like half a year later

>>15889393

I originally thought it was gonna be more of a swinging weapon like the axe, so the pincer attack was a pleasant surprise.

is this on pc or is it bloodbornestation only?

>>15889457

it released on PC about 2 months ago. hence why we have the thread so frequently now.

>>15889496

the new area makes red and purples a joke. platinum metals and t7/8 materials are the real niggers now. because you can hardly get any unless you climb to 80+, and you start at 51 everytime, and floors can randomly get redwalled (although at a much lesser rate than they did in the 41-50 BTTT area)

Should I try to lose ranks for more targets in TDM? If so, what's a good strategy, just going in naked and exiting? I barely get fight targets, at diamond atm.

>>15890299

wait for monday to lower your TDM points to the minimum, and then start losing invasions on purpose.

>>15890299

If you've got an express pass, you can immediately walk back into the train at the start of the raid. That's as fast as it gets.

Just remember the season rewards go out on the 7th next month. So get back to diamond by then.

>>15888641

>yeah we have 300 people now, akita getting too much excess fat?

We were only at 200+ when we lost that fight a week back. Also it's gone way up from the mid double digits it was when I first joined. Maybe we should migrate to an empty team.

>>15890299

You could level the firework launcher, go in naked, and just immediately kill yourself off of the train. I usually use that strategy when farming forcemen to cut the runs in half. Keep in mind that you'll climb pretty quickly back to diamond now that they're running the +50% tdm score event as well. I think the only time it is worth doing is if you're in a war, you've already raided all the targets before reset, and you're close to deranking already or you're just not ready to be in diamond gear wise yet.

>>15889496

I hit burnout levels on war ensemble reds pretty fast. You've got some options now though. You can usually find at least 2+ of any factions metal during a 100+ climb. You can farm tdm and recycle decals to exchange for reds and purples now I estimate they come at a rate of about 2 per hour if you're doing well at raiding. You can buy them from the wandering shop for 50k a piece and just do something else that day while the game runs in the background. You could also run candle wolf armor since candle wolf metals are always next to the elevator. Materials for gear seem to come a lot more naturally once you get to +5 and are making tengoku runs.

>>15891266

well, we won, and i still got 2D. all's well that ends well.

>>15891266

That win rate is going to draw a lot of attention from people looking for a team, thats for certain.

>>15892087

the priority right now is getting all those NMH decals. i can change after.

>>15892118

Indeed. We're still winning for now, so no real rush.

>>15892087

I've already seen a few move to our team. Most of them have defense, but I see a few of them in the top 20 with no defenders assigned. At least we have so many rank 80+s that it's unlikely to be a problem.

>>15880425

I had this experience with leather.

When I was farming them, I would rarely find it.

But now that I got 10+ in storage, I find it all the time. Just a while ago I found 2 spawned next to each other, which NEVER happened when I actually needed them.

>>15893455

I think night scout is decent against pale wind if you care to level the armor and knife. I got my first heavy tank today after farming up 2 mil, and I'm looking forward to seeing what 2x heavy tank + 1x golem looks like. I still haven't decided what to fill the rest of the slots up with. I'll definitely have super helmet, but I don't know what combination of def+20%, punching bag , leader's wheels, and normal tanks I should grab. He's going to be using the m2g-87, assault master body + legs, and the iron eagle RE helmet.

>>15893568

>heavy tank

nice, so far i've only gotten Diamond and Gold Heart which is a piece of shit, stamina +80% is useless if it doesn't recover at a proportionally faster rate

barbell and barbarian never

>>15894662

>Haters in the tower of barbs: 100

What kind of requisite is that?

>>15894690

I assume it's just kill haters. I guess they specify the tower in case someone thinks killing TDM defenders would count or something.

>>15894763

>Golden Gym

muh dick

>>15894763

I'm going to throw warrior monk on a defender with leader's wheels and red napalm gear for that sweet 66% pierce resistance. I wonder if putting a scrapyard on for 70% durability loss reduction and a king of wolves for 30% during rage moves means rage moves on the buzzsaw stop taking durability altogether. I wonder if rainbow bags will have the ability to drop their non premium counter parts. It'd be insane to have 86% pierce resistance on a defender.

>>15894690

I thought it was for floor 100+ haters.

>>15895954

I'd keep it. It might have a niche use somewhere. I can't really think of one though. I wonder what the odds are on 5 star decals? It seems like it might be easier to get a specific one than it is a 4 star if only because the pool is so small. I didn't get one after putting in 2 million kc so they seems at least somewhat rare. We just need to figure out how rare that really is.

>>15896030

i give 4* decals an approximate rarity of 3%-5%, so the 5 star ones are probably <=1%

>>15899545

I wonder what floor is best for screamers. I might just farm them as I get war ensemble reds or something.

>>15899602

wanoki is a large floor with a shitton of screamers

>>15897236

>>15899459

>(1) and done shitposters

you just saw a large (#) and couldn't contain your autism eh?

>>15837414

Is this game called "Let it Die" or "TDM"? I've never heard "TDM" before in conjuntion with the skeleton MC image.

>>15899734

It's the Tokyo Death Metro. You basically raid peoples' bases, kidnap their fighters, and steal their money. It's divided up into seasons with some rewards at the end of that and every week up to that.

In case anyone was hesitant to attack him, Redbirdiii's defense is trash. 6 defenders and none of them have super helmets. You can just KAMAS your way through him even if your stuff isn't endgame tier.

>>15900000

Checked.

I just got hit for 20k by a hater that was using the m2g-87's firework launcher in the mid 130s. He caught me in the maze layout of a candle wolf floor, and I couldn't get enough distance or kill him fast enough to avoid letting him get shots off. He hit a counter+critical and one shot me from full health. It was really the maze that ended up doing me in, but that damage was pretty crazy. It's also surprising that this of all things was the run ender when I had to fight 4 u10s and a gunkanyama on my way up. At least I ended up netting about 9k bloodnium, 5 black roids, and 4 platinum metals from various factions. It took 4H 44M to get that far including an hour long break on an escalator at some point.

fyi: All the anniversary quests are repeatable for metals. Great way to get bonus boss and tuber metals while doing normal farming.

Also if you want to farm screamers for the quests and farm Travis blueprints, jump between Uge and Koshi-tagawi. The haters spawn close to stairs and Uge has 5 screamers with the hater.

>>15904526

>All the anniversary quests are repeatable for metals

Time to farm for 100 red and green metals

>>15904526

I don't have the storage space for this. I don't need the t6 mats they're throwing at me for login bonuses, but I can't bring myself to throw them away either. I know I won't find a use for those 20+ milk purples and aluminum 9048s, but I also don't want to think about having to farm more at some point after throwing them out.

>>15904526

all the anniversary repeatable quests give the same reward that they gave the first time you completed them, except the rainbow bag one the piece of shit gave me a normal Heavy Tank decal, fuck you bag which instead turns into 100k reward.

also im 7/10 on NMH decals, i just got sylvia today with the Bahrain fight reward. now im just missing Holly, Henry, and Jeane. really i just want holly, henry and jeane kinda suck.

>>15904682

>the piece of shit gave me a normal Heavy Tank decal, fuck you bag

What are you even complaining about? Heavy tank is pretty much the best in slot decal for defenders. I'd be ecstatic if I could get heavy tank out of my next 5 rainbow bags. Instead I got a gold heart. Even still that's better than spl considering I don't have the premium version.

>>15904722

Defender as in the class or defender as the faggots protecting your waiting room? Because if its the former then thats just stupid.

>>15904722

look, when you have a bag that can possibly give you 3-5 death metals, and instead it gives you a decal that does the same thing as defender and that you can't even take off without losing it, its shit by comparison.

40% HP isn't much now that we are on this level of powercreep.

>>15905964

3-5 death metals isn't that much. It's at most half of a roll on the collaboration decals. While those are limited time, heavy tank is still a better decal than all but one or two of them. Heavy tank is the best thing you can put on base defenders for survivability, and if you wanted survivability on your climber heavy tank is also the first decal to slot. The damage/crit/damage negation one is the best of the event decals, but even that is only slightly better than a barbarian if you don't run crit damage with it. When you get sk, trigger happy, 2x osok, rifle addict, and juggler, even the best of the event decals will be outclassed. So those collab decals are just going to get thrown on base defenders eventually too because there will be nothing better to do with them. At best you'll end up using 1 or 2 of them while you get better stuff. That's still 50 or 100 death metals per decal or 20 to 40 heavy tanks if you had the ability to choose bag contents. To top it off, the heavy tank will make it easier to earn more bags in the future by completing the base defense quest every season. Heavy tank is most likely the best thing in rainbow bags other than serial killer which you only need 1 of in contrast to the 5+ heavy tanks you'll want at the moment.

What other game lets you dual wield skilsaws?

>>15907200

Shame you cant actually drive a car.

>>15909256

>fight a defender on a raid who used the rage move

>he just does a circle around me

>>15909256

How much did that cost?

>>15909298

Rage move sucks on defenders. It's one of the best if the best rage move a player can use though.

>Finally get golden shuriken to +4

>Gold to green shuriken goes from 610 to 1550 dmg

Talk about power creep. Member how brown +4 is better than gold 0?

So how bad is the PC port presently? I recall it being pretty shit at release.

>>15910611

You with have a good PC and have no issues or have a shit PC or shit antivirus and may have issues.

>>15910618

I figured it'd not be toaster friendly, nothing specifically fucky if, say, you have an AMD CPU or something? I may give it a whirl.

>>15911565

jake is that you?

>>15910669

What's that?

>>15913773

the game process on task manager.

>>15913782

I had to OC my CPU to run this, but maybe getting more ram would have been better.

>>15913715

Akita is too big now. I expect more losses to literal whos. Fight with Commiefornia never ever.

>>15913806

>moving to Aomori

Sounds good, because there's no way I'm getting the NMH decals I want with the fights we are getting in Akita.

>>15913818

Yeah we're getting to be a medium sized team, which is probably the worst thing to be given how the system works.

Okay just found out that Gold Birds give you a fuck ton of EXP, good to know for future fighters.

>>15914509

all gold critters give you loads of exp

also you should drop and kill them so you get the mushroom, the kill also adds exp

>>15913724

>>15914570

ehh, not all of them. only the ones with good mushrooms. frogs and turtles you can eat or sell. their shrooms suck.

>>15914570

I know all golds give you more EXP but gold birds are nuts compared to the others i'v seen.

>>15914624

bird is the highest tier of beast. followed by lizard, turtle, caterpillar, crab, scorpion, snail, rat, and frog, in that order, might be a little off but thats the general idea.

there's also the Honeycomb, which counts as a beast for some reason. It should be between turtle and caterpillar in terms of "tier", but you can't destroy it to get a mushroom out of it. any attempts will spawn bees.

>>15914760

>>15914650

I wish they did more damage, it'd make throwing them at haters viable since they stick with their target until you run out of LoS.

>>15914760

honeycombs are indestructible too. it might get roasted if an explosion or fire damage hits it, which stops the bees from spawning, but any attempts at blunt or piercing damage will spawn bees.

>>15915478

I had it when i was in new york once in a while. I think it has to do with how imbalanced the hate bar is for the faction you're attacking.

>>15914601

The gold frog mushroom is amazing. The blind lasts a full 30 seconds.

>but it wears off you hit them

Not if you use a weapon that doesn't cause hit stun, such as a KAMAS, static massager, nail gun, or other things.

I won’t let anything die. Not even this thread. Not on my watch!

>>15915578

i suppose it depends on the power level of the player. if you're already using +12 gear on a 7 decal fighter then its probably not as useful as it would be for somebody using grade 5 fighters who's just trying to make some money out of those TDM b8rs. y know who, the people who leave 60k on their bank to get free defenses.

i mean its still useful, but i wouldn't use bank space on them.

is this game good? how do you get into it? how many shekels will this goy have to give suda? many questions

>>15915866

yes. download it from steam. zero.

>415k to switch again

Well, see you fellas down the road, this is going to suck.

>>15916879

you can farm that in a couple TDM invasions, come on. it charged me 498k when i switched

>>15916910

my gambling addiction via the mushroom club is too great to ignore, I need more assault rifle addicts.

>>15916923

i've been dumping a mill or two into stew every day and i still don't have barbarian, rifle addict, trigger happy, juggler, or serial killer.

but i have like 20 vampires and several other completely useless 4* decals like Hammerhead and Center Forward

I just transferred over to it. Grabbed 200k from the usual b8er shitheads and 200k out of the mailbox. Rank 76

They really ought to drop the cost of death metals or make them easier to obtain in-game.

The fucking game is a few years old now.

I'm still stuck in the god damn amusement park.

>>15918766

>I'm still stuck in the god damn amusement park.

when did you start playing?

I've been watching this one dude's videos and in tdm he poisons the enemies and they throw up immediately and while they throw up he headshots them with a full barrage of bullets. Is there a specific weapon the makes them throw up immediately or was that so bug and they patched it so they puke randomly because in my attempts to make them throw up via shuriken they continue to fight

>>15920855

look at the date of the videos. in the past vomiting poison used to be of a higher priority for the AI, nowadays its not so much.

>>15920866

Must've been a recent change because the videos were 2 weeks old

>>15920893

then im wrong, maybe some ways of poisoning trigger the vomiting faster than others? this needs some research tbh

>>15920893

You got a link to those videos?

>transfer

>add old place to favorites to see whos dragging their feet

>TwistedFedora

I have no regrets on changing teams now

>>15921341

is that supposed to be some e celeb or something?

>>15921446

No, but it seems we potentially had redditors riding our coattails.

>>15921015

Here's the stream, gonna need to jump around a bit to find him raiding

Milla5922's express pass either wore off, or he's spending his resources.

>>15923223

Looks like it's on the ps4 version. He's also taking a lot of hits on raids for somebody that has that level of a decal setup. He must have burned through a ton of armor on the grind.

The super mad train ride is hilarious, and I had 5 targets instead of zero. Changing teams was a great idea.

Have one of S3N4HU3's geared defenders on the toilet for another 3 and a half hours, if any of the lowish rank guys want to take a stab at him. Still has a few max level 5 stars, all with super volcanoes. Not sure if I snagged the kamas guy or someone else.

>>15927738

Hes got a few kamas fags with volcano and super volcano when I raped him. Fortunately his kamas is low tier and hits for jack, even with grenades.

anyone got tips on gettin beyond the floor 20-30 grind? it's a wall compared to the earlier floors, especially with the bosses posing an actual challenge instead of a pushover

Does the hagakure decal make the katana worth upgrading? I hear the katana has gone to shit and am hesitant to grind for mats to upgrade it.

>>15928127

Can you do seasonal quests for red metals? That would open up the door to OP gear that will trivialize everything. If you farm some cat's eye and umbrella rib fungus the bosses shouldn't be that hard. Eat a vampire fungus, stingshroom, and umbrella rib before entering and you should be able to make easy work of them from there. Some small things that will help exploring are: run a combat oriented fighter (striker, attacker, and shooter), separate gathering runs and progress runs (keep your bag full of 2 or 3 gear sets and utility/healing consumables instead of materials during progress runs), and make sure you upgrade your equipment to the highest tier you can. If you want to be efficient with which weapons you're leveling, the kamas, longsword, and bowling crusher are all decent weapons that will have a use later on. The Long Sword and Bowling Crusher are some of the better options against 2 or 3 of the forcemen, and the kamas (preferably Recycle Point version) is a must have.

>>15928484

>"punishing" scripted behavior

Thats not how that word works.

>>15928484

>Hear that acent

>Be pretty sure I know the dude

>Turns out I do

Well I'l be damned.

I just want to apologize. I was in Akita when the game stopped working for me at all. I still haven't actually tried to see if they patched it back to a working state yet, tried for a week or two, went and played something else instead. So dead weight.

>>15934575

It's alright, Akita got too big anyway.

>>15934694

mad bomber is shit. i recycled mine yesterday. its the kind of decal you play around for a bit but it has no actual effect on your stats or the game.

corpses do a moderate size shockwave when they fall to the ground, and that hurts enemies proportional to the damage of the killing hit plus pushes them back/knocks them down.

>>15934748

that's not any better, i need death metal goddammit

>>15934752

this is like my 4th rainbow bag, i got 5DM once, and then all shit the remaining times. but getting SPL is just adding insult to injury. my SPL tank is always maxed out anyway.

>>15934756

I like to keep money and SPL stored just in case I need it later, to avoid losing it in a raid.

>>15934759

money? sure, but SPL? most of my SPL ends up getting trashed because my tank is already full when i invade, so it goes into the void.

you can farm SPL in TDM super easy, so getting SPL from the rainbow bag is pretty much the worst reward of them all. its like rolling snake eyes

Season ends next week. Make sure you reach platinum for a gold version of the motor psycho

>>15936523

it pains me to admit, but i won't make it in time to buy all the NMH decals. im still 23 death metals short. goddamn shame. if only these faggot redditors hadn't contaminated akita with their weakness

>between 10-15 shots to make him stagger

i know its cheesy to defeat him this way but fuck that, going melee against this fucker is impossible unless he moves the way you need him to move to win.

>>15943743

just wait until it needs WE Platinum and Aluminum 9050

we're fighting wisconsin, start raiding

>>15946614

I have 3 targets left, but they are the uncapped 80+ faggots who rolled through my defenses with some ludicrous gear. I put 3k into the score though, had a lot of other soft targets. Guess this is how it felt to be raiding against us the last 2 times in Akita.

>>15944227

At least you don't need a combined amount of 26 materials mucking about in your storage like with +4.

THE WINTER SHROOMS HAVE BEEN BUFFED

>>15953542

>buffed

oh fuck, is it 100% repair now?

i've been invading tokyo a lot but i dont seem to move the hatebar by much, i just want a fight goddammit.

also reminder that certain gearsets are being removed from the TDM bags tomorrow, so hurry up and farm those silver/gold bag quests which also end tomorrow and will be gone from the game until further notice.

>>15958340

how does the "last bullet" bonus of Full Metal Jacket even work?

does it mean the very last bullet on the sniper rifle? or does it mean the last bullet in the current magazine?

will the bonus trigger everytime your sniper rifle is at 1/## ammo or does it only trigger when its at 1/0 ammo?

We're in a fight with Okinawa. It's like 2-3 high level guys and the rest at copper. I got about 20 targets

Remember, today's the last day of the season, to get to platinum for the super gold motor psycho.

>>15959869

I went to war with them 3 times back when I was on team Texas. The first 2 times they had a blatant hacker on their team. I didn't get hit by him the third fight so I guess he finally got banned.

>>15961257

You'd probably be happier with the drill. Has the highest durability in the game. All you do is spam it's heavy attack. Light attack is a chain attack that is only good for busting armor.

Also don't waste your time upgrading the KAMA until you have the golden one since it requires less resources, has more ammo, and does more damage.

>>15961512

thats a normal amount of points if you're actually farming killcoins like mad for stew/gearing up your defenders.

if you actually farm 3m+ kill coins everyday for stew you just end up with a score like that by the end of the week, also dont forget that the 1.5x TDM Points event is still going on until tomorrow.

was this intentional or did they goof up?

All the TDM season prize weapons are like that. That's what they decided on to offset them from regular weapons.

>>15965267

Big update: Just went into TDM with it. The normal attack has a chance to knockdown the target target. Feels like a 20-30% chance which allows a follow up ground hit to them. If this weapon ends up being used, it'll be a TDM attacking weapon

>get to floor 130

you have no idea how inflated bosses get after tengoku 100.

this jackson on floor 130 killed me with that stupid fucking laser that goes through walls. it hit me for 25k in a single hit. and i have 140 VIT and 9200 defense. and they get even more stupidly high inflated numbers the higher you go.

>>15970786

the jackson lasers always go through walls. even in the vanilla jackson in floor 20. but they don't hurt as much as they do up there. when its practically a one shot kill regardless of your armor, HP, or Piercing Resistance.
