The explosive rifle had been changed to a normal blue rifle! So its worthless

@@HIGH_SCORE496 So, when you play the game and kill all Visionarys once, you get somehow progress in the game and the loot gets better. Then you have a chance, that the guy, shown in the video has the rifle with explosive ammo. Got it yesterday. Its really awesome! Especially with speedload, more damage, and more accuracy, you destroy the enemy!

With the timed challenge for the heritage gun, there’s a little hole in the wall to the right of the lever by the door, if u go through that, you can avoid the timer all together and take your time finding the symbols on the walls

[@studivan]

That’s the way I entered the room in the first place, I never knew there was a timer.

[@mr.nobody5140]

i just threw a grenade at the door that said "blocked" and was able to walk right in without any timer going off.

[@-Jake]

I would have LOVED if they let you collect different types of swords instead of just machete..even if they all did the same damage, maybe just a diff animation type, different colors, blade types. Would have been simple and added a lot.

[@drivanradosivic1357]

Something like Machete is the standard, good damage, medium swing speed good range, and you can choose a knife/dagger for faster swing speed but lower damage and range while something like a Rapier would be Good range, good swing speed but Dagger like damage while a short sword and Falchion would be more of a Machete category weapon, right?

[@-Jake]

@@drivanradosivic1357 Yeah. Would have been really cool if they implemented any of that. I'm just so tired of seeing machetes in video games lol

At 5:15 for the building with the silenced smg, you can enter through the windows or the top without worrying about the lasers if you have the invisible power from the visionary

[@nasirmohamed912]

You can also use shift through the window

[@loty18]

you can also just shoot the breaker from outside and deactivate all traps there

[@dartheastman1599]

[@studivan]

That same pistol you get from Harriet is laying on her bed next to the pillow before you enter the room she is in, you can get two of the same pistol at one time, both epic.

[@BosSupes]

the one on her bed has a chance of having other effects though, the one on her body is a guaranteed toxic cloud one

[@danieldevito6380]

The Heritage Gun with Crack Shot, Speedloader and Lightning Strike is SUPER OP. After I got the Heritage Gun, Julianna never killed me again. My 2nd fav is the Dual Handguns that transform into a burst fire SMG.

[@rzabcio3]

The problem with SMG mode is, it's semi-auto (tree shots) which makes it hard to use with large crowd...

[@DanRelayer_Ukraine]

for those who purchased the deluxe edition - tribunal with a silencer is also super cool. Really enjoyable sneak around with aether and just pop headshots quietly. Can be improved with lightning strike and other precision upgrades

[@christophertom5552]

I prefer the silenced SMG that is at the complex. Can nail headshots pretty well, and if I miss, than I just go full auto and fill them up with lead

[@fapnawb]

Thanks for the tips. Will definitely seek out Heritage gun. This game is so damn good, it's crazy.

[@Cerberus0076]

Yeap..helpful s***t,thx man,gonna help breakin the Loop^^

Explosive Rapier - Complex - Morning Poison Pistol - Karl's Bay - Morning - Kill Harriet (Not mentioned) Constancy Automatic - Fristad Rock - Morning - Kill Frank Strelak Verso (Twin Pistols/SMG) - Complex - Noon Heritage Shotgun - Karl's Bay - Evening - Fathoms Of Lament quest Silenced SMG - Complex - Any time

[@genichiroashina1]

Amazing that right there why you're the best boss! 🔥🔥

[@blackholesun4942]

Thanks

[@tonwisniewski]

My two favorite weapons are those: LIMP-10 (with the silencer perk, trinkets: Reload, Penetrating shots, clip size): Amazing if you wanna kill everything on your way without drawing attention. And Strelak 50-50 (with the enemies explode on death perk, trinkets: Reload, Penetrating shots and the one that increases the frequency of shots). This one is a monster, it's a shotgun that's like a machine gun, and the enemies exploding is amazing.

[@richardchaney7295]

3:58 If you shoot the wooden boards on the far wall, it makes a hole so you can hack the field nullifier. Then you can use the Shift slab to make the challenge easier.

[@mugglepower]

to be honest the strelak could be found anywhere and it outperforms the heritage gun as a shotgun. You get 24 shots(2 rounds a shot) with big box attachment plus quick load. It has an ungodly firerate and obliterates anything that dare getting close. The heritage gun is an excellent slugger however it does not have aim zoom and explosive rapier serves as a much better long range weapon. Explosion baby. Beside the rapier there is actually another explosive weapon. The pneumatic pistol that will explode after a delay. Some juliana kindly gave it to me. By that I mean I pried it from her cold dead hands. LOL There's also a machine gun that does a craniel explosion if you score a headshot. However the right sight makes it difficult to headshot when stuff gets hot.

[@christophertom5552]

I do love the strelak that has the feature where the target blows up when they die. I attach the add ons when rounds go through a target to hit others and speed reloading

[@sebastianmontoya5049]

You can also use shift through the rooftop entrance to avoid the lasers and get the silenced SMG

[@ryanshock2541]

I tried to get the exploding rifle but what I got was a rifle that reloads instantly

[@tonwisniewski]

The fastest way to get stronger weapons in 2023 is this: Options > Gameplay > 1 Shot Kills ON

[@ithajj1]

the laser rifle in the lab over the ice is another one thats fun

[@eliaswilliamson2427]

the explosive rifle does not spawn for me in this location, even on subsequent days. i'm pretty sure it is appearing as the reward for beating the moxie quickly, but i'm not sure, i haven't beaten it fast enough yet.

[@eliaswilliamson2427]

The silent UZI + transformer pistol is all you need transformer pistols have the highest dps too

[@wireghost897]

Came here for the guide, stayed back for the word play.

[@rzabcio3]

Small tip: silenced SMG with Hipster + Lightning Strike + Sure Shot trinkets makes heahshots so easy, it's almost as good as sniper rifle. But silenced!

[@PaulRockey]

I originally subscribed to your channel because of the KZbin drama with the dead cells and ign fiasco. But now, I stay for the killer content. This video really helped me in this game! Loving the game even more now!

[@thurston383]

The exploding rifle was a fast reloading one for me, must have been too op

[@christophertom5552]

That rifle made killing Julianna so easy

[@palegod]

I noticed the mods you had installed on your explosive rifle... Big Box definitely doesn't do anything for Rapier since it has one shot no matter what. I'm curious if you ever noticed a difference with Hailfire though. Far as I can tell it doesn't do anything for a single-shot weapon either. I use Speed Loader and Mobile Marksman on mine, but nothing I've put in the third slot seems to have any significant effect at all.

[@vulpez650]

I managed to get the Boom Rapier with Juliana. Only Colts worth their salt can handle it, otherwise, they just get blasted, knocked back, then blasted again in the head.

[@johnthompson8428]

HOW do you get to the top of the blue building though?

[@Jay-eo2mx]

The explosive rapier isnt showing for me. Is there a point you have to be at in the game to trigger it? The chap just sits there with a trinket and a standard blue rapier but no explosive or "cool gun"

Your toxic cloud Fourpounder has a different skin than mine.... Mine is goldish, yours has the pink BLAM skin. Wonder why. I have a pink BLAM pistol too, but it’s not the toxic one I got from Harriet.

Worth mentioning that none of the legendary weapons are any good in PVP, save on rare occasions for the sniper rifle. Basically the repeater shotgun shred vastly harder at short range. The boom stick is pretty good too.

[@nemesisencounter2060]

The heritage gun and double pistols are amazing in pvp

[@redford4ever]

@@nemesisencounter2060 The Heritage gun is especially bad. Way lower DPS than the repeating shotgun and way less hit damage than the exploding Rapier. Double pistols means no powers. No Nemesis, blink, telekinesis etc. The machine gun mode is alright though. It's pickable with a good modifier, as a solution when you're out of the other short/mid range ammo.
