Great, thanks.
Is it bad idea to go with Lynx set? I really like it a lot, but I'm kinda worried about my defense in the last zone.
just slot 4 hp implants and you'll be (mostly) fine.
Great, thanks.

Is it just me or does anyone else find the nanos kind of pointless in context of a ng+ run? I mean yeah go ahead and burn em if you're going to just one and done the game, but considering the lengths you have to trek to track them all down plus the cost of upgrading in terms of scrap you might as well just burn through area 6 and upgrade to the much more plentiful mark vi materials laying around in the scrapyard at the start of ng+. The jump from mk4-mk5 is kind of small too considering the seemingly (at least with what I was using) huge jump mk6 represents.Yes and they don't transfer to NG+ so make sure to use any you find before the final boss.

The Surge - Update 53045 (P4) 33484 (SVN)
Added:
Play your own music in OPS! Drop WAV, OGG or FLAC files to "My Documents/The Surge/songs"
A kill switch button combination for players being stuck has been added (Press 'LB', 'LT', 'RB', 'RT', 'LS' and 'RS' at the same time, 'F4' is the default binding on the keyboard) - Please only use this when your character is stuck.
Added an option to bind jumping/ducking from blocking to the left stick (when using a controller)
Bug Fixes:
- Player will be able to block most attacks. This refers to enemy attacks that were only able to be ducked or hopped, which prior to the change ignored blocking. You will now be able to block these attacks, but they consume more stamina than 'standard' attacks.
- Fixed some random crashes triggered by accessing invalid memory

- It is now easier to stagger enemies using light, faster-hitting weapons.

- Potential random crash in the animation system
- TDR crashes on Kepler GPUs (Nvidia 7## and 6## series)
- Fixed holes in collision where the player could get stuck
- Prevent the screensaver from kicking in when using a PS4 controller (PC)
- Correctly apply fall damage when doing a plunging/jumping attack
- The staff wielding security guards will no longer parry counter attacks and backstabs
- Always apply the correct damage from counter attacks following from ducking under or jumping over enemy attacks
- Fixed the behavior when binding target switching to the right stick
- Properly store the button imagery configured in the options menu
- Properly negate 100% toxic damage when wearing the Liquidator armor set
- Enemy super armor was not decreasing properly in some cases after a string of quick successive hits
- Fixed level transition elevators that were no longer available after dying in the moving elevator
- Fixed respawn positions of the player on level transition elevators that caused players falling into their death immediately after loading a savegame
- Loot drops of the smelting machines are now saved in the level so it can be collected even when dying after defeating the smelting machine
- Fixed an issue where the "Big Sister" achievement did not unlock properly after killing the Big Sister 1/3
- Mapping the dodge button to Circle will no longer cause the player to dodge every time the player "backs out" of the game menu.
- Possible crash when leaving New Game+ at the beginning and starting a new game.
- Gameplay blocker if the player does not collect the Security Exo-Rig after destroying the case. This will also fix broken saves.
- Various AR elements should no longer appear in the wrong locations.
- Counter attacks on drone enemies are no longer interrupted when using a Single-rigged weapon.
- Closed door in Resolve Biolabs now opens correctly. This will also fix broken saves.
- Using an implant that is on cooldown in the same moment an enemy is finished will no longer cause a repeating error message .
- Fixed issues where armor items were unable to be equipped in New Game+.
- Hobbs no longer asks for help after the player has helped him.
- Player can no longer get stuck at certain stairs in the tunnels of Resolve Biolabs.
- Player can no longer target the upper part of PAX while PAX is standing up.
- Sorting items by 'Newest' now works properly.
- Removed Quicksave/Quickload bindings.
Tweaks:
- The values for health related implants have been adjusted to fall more in line with the desired/projected player health progression (more health)
- The damage of the beam ranged attack of the Nano mass enemy has been reduced
- The windup of the beam attack has been increased
- Reduced the volume of the 'secret finding implant' - even more so when using a controller and rumble is enabled
- Deactivate the 'secret finding implant' in the medbay
- Implants granting a weapon proficiency level bonus now also grant a proficiency reward bonus so it becomes more viable to level up more than one weapon type
- Added an option to bind jumping/ducking from blocking to the left stick (when using a controller)
- Jumping/ducking from blocking can now also be done by pressing the bound keys for moving forward/backward (when playing with mouse and keyboard)
- Tweaked hitboxes of the staff wielding security guards' attacks
- Tweaked hitboxes of some enemies wielding fork lift weapons
- Tweaked hitboxes of some enemies wielding two handed weapons

- Proximity Sensor no longer emits a beeping sound when an enemy is locked.
- Character is now invulnerable for a short time after a finishing move is finished.
- Increased the duration of the stamina buff triggered when collecting enough Tech Scrap to be worth a level up.
- Reduced the stamina cost for continually blocking.
- Increased the time for the continual block stamina cost to begin.
Man I really hope The Surge sells well enough so we can get the sequel. I really like it a lot.
The Surge will be shown at the #E32017 Focus Home Interactive booth from June 13-15 with a first look into The Surges post-launch support.
Do blueprints carry over to ng+ ? I dont want to build every set...
I was wondering if the game was gong to get any kind of serious DLC.
I believe so. At quick glance I had everything still in the build menu
from what I can tell the only things you lose are audio logs(I've picked up ones I know I had already at least), the coins from Smelters, and most likely Security Clearance fromBlack Cerberus
Also funny spoiler from starting NG+The first drone you fought in NG gets flying tackled by a Twin Rigged Black Cerberus armored grunt. Was not expecting that lmao
Okay thanks, how does the building in ng+ work ? I assume all materials have no use now since the new low point is mkVI
Ok a couple of questions from the newbie:
How do i know what rig do i need to pass the scan doors?
What is proficiency here?
Do you use energy to boost atacks or somerhing? I feel like i need to put all my implants on health!
Thank you
Day 1 for DLC.I was wondering if the game was gong to get any kind of serious DLC.
I've barely survived the way to the first shortcut for ops3. Those 4-legged dog-jumping enemies hit hard near the end, but I survived.
1. You'll know, it's an obvious progression gain later in the game, you won't get it until the just before the last area.
2. Proficiency adds damage to a weapon based on the level your proficiency is and what the proficiency scaler for the weapon is, so basically the higher level proficiency you have and the higher your proficiency scaling is for a weapon, the more damage boost proficiency gives you.
3. Energy activates your drone technique, is used for some implants, and is used for your finisher, the little icons on the energy bar indicate how high energy needs to be to use them. For instance your finisher move can be activated when the energy bar is past the little saw icon. I'd recommend spending some implants on health, as it's the only way to not get one shot by some enemies, but make sure to mix and match a bit too.
And conquered.
Defeated Rogue Process with a final level of 70.
First phase is hard but easy in the right context, you just gotta avoid that damn tail.
Second phase is just a weaker but more agile version of Black Cerebus
Pro tip:When that overload station reopens, go for it, don't keep trying to damage it
I have no idea what the fuck the ending meant. But I really enjoyed The Surge, not quite ready to replay it because the Nucleus is bullshit haha but I'll revisit this game I'm sure. #2 game I've played overall this year.
And just remember
You cannot miss what you have never seen before.
BTW probably in the minority here but I liked the Heads Up With Don videos. Don Hackettis a tragic character, a company yes man who took his own life because he couldn't deal with the lies and deceit.
Discovering him via hanging in the green room was upsetting especially after the passing of Chris Cornell (unrelated but relevant) but yeah, that shit was dark.
Hell of a game.
I don't think so? You can give it back to her later.Question about Jo and her room
I ran through the poison gas,
opened her room and collected the audio log. I did not grabbed the weapon on the table and looked on google if it's safe to take. Seems like you can get a trophy later, if you don't take the weapon. Did I already fucked up because I entered the room and listened to the audio log?
I don't think so? You can give it back to her later.
Oh, I dunno I totally missed that quest on my first run so they were sitting there waiting on me when I came back at the end of the game lolHm, I was reading the sunglasses won't be there, if you take the weapon. And you get the trophy for the sunglasses later.
From what I played I think lords of the fallen is much, much better.
I think I just found the last shortcut before the boss in the second level. There's still 1 area I can see that isn't reachable near OPS, past the RHINO enemy. There's a deactivated exolift that leads up to a small platform. I can see the exit to a service tunnel up there too, but I have no clue of how to reach it. All the twists and turns of the level seem to take me away from where that location would logically be.
I assume I might have to come back later, and that it probably has something to do with the flamethrower wielding guards I can see in a window a short way into the level from OPS.
Correctly apply fall damage when doing a plunging/jumping attack
Yeah I've been really happy with it. This and Prey got bonus points from me just for that. Good stuff.I don't know if it has been posted yet, but this game has great Steam controller support. Works perfect out of the box and even has its own icons and controller layout image.
How many drone modules are there?
I have the basic range attack, melee attack, freeze, shield and magnet. Is there anything else? I don't want to miss anything.
Freeze? I missed that one. Did you get the flamethrower drone module?
