Yeah can we have this not happen or maybe give like 5 or 10 extra seconds to realize wtf is happening when you're solo, especially as a new player who doesn't like to "ruin the mechanics" by reading a bible on the game before I play it... kind of really leaves a sour taste in the mouth....

Rolling Nukes from the "Wishing Well" in Solo Play

worldly remnant
#

if you're a new player a nuke is likely not a match wipe.

its risk reward.

  1. You die first time from a surprise nuke from the well.
  2. You keep your distance from every well and never die from it again.

my first two wells were nukes.. and i thought theres always nukes from them or like a big chance so i kept ignoring them.... but from some videos on youtube i've discovered that im just being unlucky </3
well... now I will try to use them more often.. maybe

Literally just walk away from the wells when you use them, it's that easy.

while it is funny, it would probably be better if there was some level of oneshot protection, as nukes are able to deal large amounts of damage on the highest difficulties.

#

I also completely disagree with removing them, the chaos mechanic should be chaotic.

i just spent 1+ hour trying to solo very hard. its incredibly frustraiting that my run ended cause a nuke poped out of a well and instant killed me at full health. map was mostly cleared and had just the boss left. no other nuke ive set off has done 100+ dmg

can’t you move away in time?

#

i always sprint the other direction as soon as im done holding e on a well

i actually did try to run. i jumped, dashed, then boinged to maximize speed. was surprised by the wild range eeing as i had -75% gravity

i will say solo in this game is especially punishing for mistakes, ror2 and other rogues have one shot protection, drg has bosco, hd2 has 5 respawns, payday has bots, etc, but this game has nothing
so try not to feel too bad about solo

DRG has iron will. Second wind is Iron will but more OP.

blessed iron will

#

so many clutch saves

It's still EA, so maybe we can expect a bosco like for solo later on.

that too, and the benefit that pretty much 90% of perks suck so you’re almost always iw+dash or iw+field medic
whereas second wind takes up slots that’re pretty critical for a lot of builds/power, so big opportunity cost
