Yup I have been doing more or less the same things now except I dont think I have come across Electropylon or Rotgland Lobber at the moment. Hollowseeker for the moment is the best gun for me with the huge clip size and decent damage over time. I'm not really in complete sync with weapon traits at the moment though, maybe need to read a bit more on that.- The Electropylon gun, Rotgland Lobber, and Hollowseeker are your friends. Use any weapon you find that deals damage over time to enemies. The Electropylon gun and Rotgland Lobber have this available from the start, but you need to unlock a few traits before you start getting it frequently with the Hollowseeker or other weapons.
- At the obolite repository, whenever you see the suit upgrade that restores your health with an increase in adrenaline, grab it asap. It's the best upgrade in the game, but it only lasts for that run.
- Don't redo boss fights on new runs. Head straight to the next biome once you have a decent weapon (such as the Electropylon gun), and, if possible, get the astronaut from the obolite repository before doing so.
- Use the Reconstructor to get respawned if you get taken out in a biome that you haven't yet completed
Finished the first 2 bosses and now at the citadel. This game is extremely addictive if you can manage to get past the first couple of hours an understand how things work. It can seem a bit overwhelming at first but the after the first few hours you just cannot let go of the controller. Excellent stuff by Housemarque
