You'd spend so much time scrounging for more bullets that you're better off just closing with an assault rifle or machine gun. You bring up Bolt as a good use case for sniper rifles, and while I'd like to agree, I can't because Bolt is a bullet sponge and the sniper rifle doesn't have nearly enough ammo to put a dent in it. The problem here is that the best situation for sniper rifles doesn't show up anywhere near enough for it to be worth bringing, because the minimum for its optimal range is so incredibly far away, and its performance on things that aren't in its optimum range is so lackluster that you may as well just bring an assault rifle. There's nothing wrong with "the right tool for the right job," and in fact I think varying things so you have to bring the right gun for the thing you're fighting is an excellent idea. MGs and ARs are strong against AI and Arsenals, but why use them over BZs against Omega Bosses with high defense? One of the bosses even encourages using different weapons Zeruchroar with bullet weakness on 1st phase and laser weakness on 2nd phase. Grief and Solomon are some of the best examples. You shouldn't expect any single weapon to be the best weapon for all the enemies in the game, otherwise what's the point of the other weapons? BZs are one of the strongest weapons in the game, but you don't use them against arsenals due to slow bullet speed and high knockdown. In which case, you can use snipers due to its far range to stay out of arc distance and fast bullet speed to hit cores when it's moving. For Bolt, it's pretty much the same thing, except now it doesn't have laser weakness. Furthermore Nightmare has severe weakness against laser damage, so laser weapons are better choices. But what about Nightmare and Bolt? It's hard to maintain optimal range with bazookas on Nightmare since it keeps moving, so it's not as effective. Bazookas are great against bosses in general because of high damage and splash so you can easily hit multiple cores. In the case of Coop Bosses, you know your enemy, you get to choose your loadout. Unless you are using 4 of the same weapon, isn't there at least a slot for a sniper? Normal gameplay wise, you have pylons so that you can bring other types of weapons should you face an enemy that your primary weapon isn't effective against. The simple answer to this is they are not meant for every situation. Daemon X Machina September 13th Sure, Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Astral. It's hard to put enemies in that spot, so you can't really effectively use snipers in the majority of situations. Refinements and additions - like pings, weapon attachments, new action skills. Originally posted by Broadsword:tl dr: optimal range means you're only dealing max damage for a weapon when you're within its range sweet spot, for snipers this is usually starting at 400m. I also manage Mecha Damashii and do toy reviews over at. They do decent damage when they hit but remember which arm has picked them up and make sure to aim at the boss’ head when you throw them.Īnyway, I have been having a lot of fun with Daemon X Machina and can happily recommend it, so feel free to read my review of you are at all curious about this new mecha game.įollow me on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Each equipment you research in the factory will be available in the in-game store for purchase. I would also recommend using the canisters at the bottom of the map (the little lights surrounding the pillar) and throwing them at the boss. When you are back in the hangar, just go to the factory and check if you can launch some Research on new weapons / equipment base on lower weapons / equipement. One final thing, on the last boss in the game you can use the main pillar to block most of its attacks. Naturally, you have to defeat Colossal Immortals to unlock some of these parts, but the twist is that these particular Colossal Immortals are only present in Multiplayer mode. You also have the Secret Factory located in the Ice Cream Parlor, which ties into the more powerful and colorful weapon development in the game. The game’s Ice Cream Parlor helps to give you minor stat boosts and enough of these will obviously add up.
