The higher the scaling, the more it gains from leveling that weapon type.How does proficiency scaling work, btw?

Question, I am in the middle of the demo and decided to check Gaf then saw this thread.
Does the full game perform a bit better than the demo?
I can't manage to get a locked 60fps in all areas with my 1080 at 3440x1440 with everything set to max.
Is this reflective of the full game or is it just a case of the demo being less optimized kind of like Horizon 3 was for a while?
It's pretty fun so far I must say.
Its really well optimized from most reports. It runs like a dream on the Pro as well.
I'm just wondering if it performs the same as the demo though.
Damnit...I was fighting a dude near some stairs. My finishing move caused me to plummet off the side.
Also, this second area is STILL kicking my ass. It's so much more difficult than the first, ha.
What do I do against the dog robots in the third area? Getting my arse kicked atm.
Help. I'm in the second area and have all my armor at mark II save one arm. So I keep taking wrecked arms to ops but when they are salvaged my Mark II force regulator supply doesn't increase. I upgraded one arm this way, but now I'm just stuck. Any ideas, is there some type of bug I'm not aware of?
You're probably getting Rank 1 parts from them. I'm a little earlier than you, from the sound of it, but the only consistent source of Rank 2 stuff I've found is those two guys in Scarab gear.
Yep see my edit above. Are the fast "wolverine" guys sporting scarab? If so, that's it. Thanks for the quick response. Well, back to farming.
Let me guess, it was the guy on the gun, up the stairs to the left?
Alsohow many of those bloodied badass' are there?
Picked this up today. Got all base Lynx gear, killed mini boss and first proper boss on my first try. Got cocky, then the second area came up. Fuck, this is tough, mostly because I can't find damn shortcuts. I found an upstairs area with these spider things that own my ass. I finally unlocked the elevator that takes you to toxic waste after running through a shit load of areas, lol. Fun game, but easy to get lost so far.
So I am about...6 hours or so in, beat the first 2 bosses and now getting my ass handed to me by the dog/scorpions mentioned above. Aside from those annoying enemies, the lack of loot is frustrating. I have been using tier 2 Lynx set since Boss 1 and the Boss 1 weapon drop for the past 5 or 6 hours of game time. All the other weapon drops are pointless I assume as their damage is significantly less at the same level. For example I beat the 2nd boss and killed all his legs so I assume I got the "upgraded" weapon but it does crap damage.
Is there any more loot? Or will be using the same armor and same weapon for the rest of my playthrough? Maybe upgrading once or twice more if I ever find enough of the metals.
The second boss' weapon does less damage because it attacks faster, it'll still do similar damage overall (at least when you've upped your proficiency a bit). Pretty much all the weapons are viable, with only minor variations in each class.So I am about...6 hours or so in, beat the first 2 bosses and now getting my ass handed to me by the dog/scorpions mentioned above.

You will get to upgrade your armour throughout the game, it's just a bit regimented about when you can have the next tier of upgrade materials. You tend to spend ages at one tier until you get to an area with a new enemy type and suddenly have plenty at the next tier.
There's a reasonable number of armour sets in the game. At first it's just the typical light/medium/heavy choices but it's worth building a full set of each type you find. They each have a special perk when fully equipped (viewable on the stats screen I think). I'd say the armour variety is slightly better than the weapon variety, although it can take a little farming to collect them all and upgrade the ones you like.
There are several different armor sets and if you've beaten the second boss you should have already encountered enemies wearing the new sets of armor. I think I had like pieces from 4 or 5 sets by the second boss.
There's a genius shortcut that you can find in that second area. It took me forever to locate it, but man...My life got a LOT easier after that. Still a hard as balls area, but at least my corpse runs aren't so annoying now.
I definitely appreciate the focus on mobs instead of bosses in this (compared to other Souls games). General exploration is a lot more tense and you don't get such severe difficulty spikes.I think I got it. Second boss down. Amazing how fast that fight is over if you get it right. It's over equally as fast if you don't, lol.
I must say that this game, even with corridors can be almost overwhelming with "where the fuck do I go?" moments. Guess it's more tense because trash enemies are deadly as hell in this. It's definitely a relief when you finally make it to the train, or a boss shortcut.

I don't think I've parried anything yet, lol. I block, they reel back, I get the two-hit combo off block but it's pretty minor damage, all things considered.
The third boss () is quite simply one of the worst bosses I've ever come up against. The camera, targeting and controls are abysmal.Big Sister
The block right as they attack, that forces them to stagger back? That IS the parry.
I agree with the camera and such but I found that boss the easiest to beat. Maybe I am overleveled.
dudes I've had hard time to beat the firebug what a pain of the ass ...
I need help to understand how the implants work beacause I do not understand all.
I understant that you can carry or use implant depending the power core.
for example at the begining of the game a was able to instantly regenerate a good half of my health bar but not anymore now it takes ages to reload the bar. How can I fix that ? I hope I didn't deleted the implant
now I can regain health 6x times but if I change something I can only do once ... wtf ?
please help, what is the best setup ?
Firebug:I didn't use camera lock when he was doing the stompy leg trick. Locked camera when he charged or moved high to drop down. Second phase I tried to hit his legs when they slowed down. Dash attack and out really helps. Also switch up weapons it made a difference for me.
Implants are brilliant when you work them right. Core power = more power to use more implants. Can only switch them at Medbay.
It sounds like, to me, you have equipped multiple health bar boosts. So your health bar is too high for your healing implants.
The colours of the implant denotes the power it uses, plus the description of course. If your implants need more power than you have then they stop working till you switch them out or increase your core power.
Best set up is whatever works for what your doing. That's the beauty of this implant system.
One thing I didn't realise till recently is that different armour has different core power usage. I couldn't have the same implants I used with my Lynx setup that I could with Rhino. FYI.
Now can someone clue me in on how to deal with boss 4, cheap ass mofo is ruining me 😂
about the firebug :the first part is pretty easy after all but for both part when it use the leg storm attack or the super jump it's better to not use the lock .
for the second part you must stay close to him avoid a possible instant kill when it tries to ram you
and I decided to focus on the weak point and use another weapon the double blades ( I don't remember the name) which is much quicker weapon and it works finaly.
first lately I was using an heavy armor (rhino ?) with the PAX blade it was very powerful but very slow so I decided to turn around and to downgrade to a light armor and the double blades and somehow it was very fun and interesting .
here some experiment that I did in the second lvl to try my new setup and it was effective :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4azdI7NI4Rs
for the moment my power core lvl is at 36 or 37 I mostly use red implant but I need more practice to understand the way it works and so far I wasn't able to find a way to regain health quicly
Well congrats on beating there 2nd boss.
Looking at your vid I can see you are not wearing a full set of Armour. There are bonuses to wearing a complete set. Lynx confers a speed bonus that's very useful. So start cutting more parts off the enemies ��
Also your implants are the health over time ones not the instant heal. Look for the red cross with an arrow pointing directly down. Not an arrow in a circle.
You have two health bar increases which is good. You probably don't need the one that shows enemy health bars. There are more useful implants; increase stamina etc.
That is probably your issue. Unless you have worked it out now? Bonne Chance!
thanks that's great I'll try to get a complete armor, about the redcross pointing down I think I've deleted the only one I had is there any way to get another one ?
thanks again now I have a better understanding about the implants
No worries, glad to help.
There are a few heals if you explore. I must have about 4 of 1.0 and 3 of the 2.0 and I am just a bit further on than you. There is also a heal using energy implant that I picked up somewhere.
If we learn anything here it is to never get rid of any implants. You might not need them right now, but they allow you to customise your character to any given situation in the future.
I just arrived at the first boss, PAX, the loader bot looking robot.
I got destroyed, two health potions isn't enough for this type of fight, even Blood Borne and Dark Souls bosses didn't do this much damage in the beginning.
The two flying bots that shoot lasers at you at the gate also claim some health if you're not fast enough.
