[@yrenren9740]

A cool little-known-fact about the difficulty system in deadlocked. New game Hero is significantly more difficult than Exterminator, due to the fact that enemies on exterminator deal a flat percentage of your health no matter the nanotech, but enemies on Hero deal flat damage + a lower percentage on your health. An example of this being that Exterminator enemies always deal about 1/5th of your health in damage, whereas enemies can take 70% of your HP away in one hit in new game Hero.

[@Kazmahu]

12:25 If I had to hazard a guess, there's a few frames while the game's swapping your weapon out where your other commands are unlocked, so doing the input there is enough to trigger a swing, but everything's locked again by the time the first swing is done. So not helpful, but a possible explanation. I love these challenges, cheese and all. Great work!

[@yargolocus4853]

looks like it, since it happened just as the weapon was switching. I wonder if you could quick change into an "illegal" weapon and fire it once in that timeframe. like having the Harbinger as last weapon before starting the mission, and quick switching to it before vulcan cannon gets switched.

[@606Xentrax606]

@14:02 That's the hardest I've laughed at anything all year. Bravo, Gamechamp.

[@Crazor2000]

12:20 the glitch here seems to the result of switching round/weapons. after the last enemy is killed, the game switches your weapon to another one, as an result of clearing the round. the result is that you have a brief moment in this transition period where you can access your complete arsenal, but this isn't a viable strategy, since it's in between rounds, and only when you switch weapons, meaning you have literally only one strike every time you switch weapons. if you could forcefully make your weapons switch, this would be a viable strat, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

It's also accurate. Deadlocked is controversial in a sense that it's seen as "spinoff" or otherwise not the part of the original trilogy by fans. It is however the most successful R&C game to capture the true purpose of the series. It's the best representative of the group that doesn't want to admit it belongs in it.
