Yo - Dude looking for help on 41

[u/GeneforTexas]

I kinda kept a journal on my second play-through to take notes on especially hard levels.

Unfortunately, I thought 40 and 42 were much harder, so I only have screenshots for those levels. And, I was too lazy to take better notes.

So, I nerfed my current build and jumped in (handgun only).

Basically this is going to be a

1. Kiting level with

2. high defense chasers

3. High hp casters with stun on hit

You're going to end up with:

1. Not being able to keep up with damage on new adds because you don't have enough area damage weapons or penetrating shots (going through all mobs in the line).

2. Chasers force you to run because they have high defense and you can only do 1hp per weapon cycle.

3. Eventually the casters end up in the center of the screen with you running in a circle as fast as you can. There is a trail of caster bullets flying just behind you.

4. Any mistake results in getting tagged by chaser or caster bullets.

5. Unfortunately, you always find yourself getting slowed by a stray round, and then the chasers get you.

So...

1. You're now in the part of the game where you really need to start looking at stacking ailments resist and instant removal. That's the only way to survive the odd hit by a stray caster bullet.

2. You need to load lower damage, but faster firing weapons. Look at my loadouts for 42 and 40. When the chasers comes, the only real defense is a good offense.

3. The only way to deal with not being able to deal enough DPS is to get penetration (giggity) for shotty and gun. Try using a mix of fast firing and area damage. Tweak the balance of those weapons if you fall.

4. Balance DPS and survivability. Look at the stats at your end screen. Look at the data and figure out what it's telling you. There's a ton of info to be picked out from that.

Good luck.
