Party members and weapon loadouts

Post by totmachen »

What are everyone's preferred party members and weapon loadouts? I'm generally:

Elle - Dual SMB + Kukri
Lilli - Auto-shotgun - Nail Bat
Sam - Army sniper rifle - Kukri
Wanda - Chainsaw - Shotgun
Ostera - Flashlight / search spam
And Amy or Lou mostly for their Medic ability

I almost never use Doug, Josh, and Bunny. And not a huge fan of the Evil Twins, Gunblade, or Ma's Shotgun

I tend to play with Dark zones turned on so I need to be more melee focused. I like Lou, Odin, Wanda, Lili, Sam, Ned/Ostara. In a 6 person game I mostly end up using Lou just because she that good at covering people. Gunblade is the best melee weapon and is fantastic to use with Lou. She turns into a charging killing machine.

Well, there's no universal loadouts for most charachters. For walkers and runners one set is better, for brutes - another, and molotov is a must for abominations, right?

For shooters i prefer double pistols or even shotguns (for not slippery ones), value 66% to hit more than more dices.

For melee with + hit die (Odin) there's double machete. Others i prefer chainsaw.

And i dream to test red Doug with double sniper rifle, but never achieved such a thing.

I have similar thoughts. Especially Elle is great with double pistols, but other good shooters (Tiger, Lili) also do good with that. For brutes often someone else can eliminate them and leave room for many dices dmg 1 weapons.

I also prefer weapons that have 3+ to hit, and I don't like one's that have 5+ to hit. Chainsaw i use mostly for opening doors, and PMs I usually discard.

I did Doug with 2 chainsaws (for tests) 10 dices that is awesome :D
