I maxed rifle skills and used the sniper rifle, assault rifle and auto shotgun where care was required. View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif Third time through I went for the hacker pistol and grenades all the way through, with all the infiltration skills/augs. I'd break and enter stealthily, then kill everything View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif I always used hacking as a skill, same with lockpick. Aside from 20mm grenades, I still hate it.Īugs: ALWAYS regen, run fast/jump high, and imaging so I can see through walls View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gifīasically, I was careful in rushing in, but that didn't stop me from blowing everything up. Second time through, I went for non-lethal. I kept these three weapons through the entire game, supplementing them with an assault shotgun. I started with the GEP, grabbed the crossbow off a dead guy, and plastered an NSF sniper rifle. View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif So is the Dragon's Tooth for alot of lockers. The GEP gun might be one of the most useful weapons though, if only as a tool. Weapons: you should always use the first silencer you get on a sniper rifle. Hacking computers is almost a necessity at the time, whereas the other two skills benefit the most well-rounded weapons in the game later on. The Dragon's Tooth is also great for that as well (the Dragon, with combat strength and a decent melee skill will kill MJ12 Commandos with a head/chest shot 95% of the time).Īs far as important skills go.I'd say rifles, melee, and computers will get you the most in the game. If you have the silent run aug, you can run around freely, dropping enemies left right & center without raising too much of a ruckus. A silenced sniper rifle and assault rifle make great combos. Later in the game once your skills and augs are up to par, and you've got the weapons/mods to use them, there's very little point in holding back. Once you're discovered (if you're discovered), respond with appropriate force. I'd tend to disable the NSF guys whenever possible. The first few levels, stealth is key because no matter what your skills, for the most part if you run in guns blazing you're just going to get shot up enough that you won't last long.įor the first half - 2/3rds of the game, I'd generally take the stealth approach as long as I could, using various melee weapons to drop people up close. Well, it really depends on where you're at in the game.
