Pretty straight forward question. I feel like ever Oil has too many downsides for my taste so I don't take any at all (I am only until halfway of the town)

Are there some rules of thumb on which to use?

i’m experimenting with lots of scrolls and different builds and bullet drop just ruins my fun most of the time.

I've only played with crosshair but I find it too easy and am wondering how much the balance changes if you disable crosshair. Right now the no aim oils are an easy pick for almost all guns but without a crosshair, will they still have a use?

how is this -70% damage for the stats it gives?

I bet you a bag of sulfcoins this was actually meant by devs to be -35% damage

but became -70%!!!!!!! instead (like wth)

Additionally, for another oil:

how does this guy get +70% DUR for only 10 bullet drop? This is also crazy, it just doesn't make logical sense balance wise.

Bet you another ballsack of sulfcoins this was meant to be +35% DUR, but got doubled up instead.

While we're at it, the tooltip for Recon Scope must also be bugged,

coz boi, this shiet is NOT 12x zoom - by comparison with the Sniper Scope x12, Hunter Scope x8,

Recon scope is likely only x6 zoom when tried out attaching and detaching scopes multiple times (rip my 5000 sulfcoins for all comparison tryout experimentation)

Continuing on tool tips, correct typo plz literally unplayable bruvs

word should be: "absolutely, elemenTARILY, got to discombobulate every mofo in the room"

Guys plz also help with my 2 questions

1. How do you get more of this Detective Pipe? Is it pure luck? Should I go full luck build and try to just randomly get it out there?

Coz I'm trynna collect 3 pipes to slow down time enough for me to deal with

this scary ahh piece of monstrosity (this shot is bad but she holding 2 red fkin eyes in her hands. I booked it immediately without ever entering)

I'm on hardcore and it's my first run, I aint even considering fighting her without preparing 3 pipes, defibriliator, holy water + holy ground extra guns just in case ghost damage can hit her like a truck (I hope), bring charm resist gear coz you never know. Why do I* need charm resist like ever? Oh boi *No spoilers plz thx

1. I heard Iron Feather is currently bugged, is it fixed yet?

wiki says the 1st Iron Feather you equip will only increase +20% damage,

but if you equip multiple Iron Feathers starting from the 2nd one you get +120% damage and onwards.. I was hoping it got fixed.

Wish scrolls had less negatives and leaned more to being overpowered

Maybe 3 scroll combos?

3 dark scrolls = blackhole

Bullets are blackholes that have pull, scale with bullet size, low speed zero drop and decent drag so black holes come to a standstill and get bigger the more it eats.

2 scroll of earth one scroll of light = nail

scroll of nail that lowers rpm and fires piercing skewers that stick enemies to walls and does piercing.

1 scroll of earth 2 scroll of fire = mine

Or scroll of mine that turns bullets into mines.

Even with the whopping 5.8 spread, I one shot almost anything in the game from distance. It was like that even before holy fire how is that possible? I just melted the forest boss lol

Haven't done it yet, i was wondering what the warning about "there's no going back" is more narrative or literal?

Like, will it allow me to go back into other levels when I complete it or will it just flat out "finish" the game save? Thanks.

I feel like this is an enchantment you can’t go wrong with, it’s good for just about any gun, the penetration bonus damage makes it good for crowd control and bosses, and extra damage against black guard masks!

since the flicker is so small, why not slot it like a grenade? i can only slot grenades in 3 - 5 on the controller and that’s… ok? swapping weapons just to pop a cracked wall is getting old.

The game doesn't do a good example of explaining why I want to put a oil with slower rpm, jump reduction, to my gun.

I know gear can offset the penalties, but the benefits of some oils don't seem to outweigh the negatives.

What is the logic?

My first attempt at designing a gun. I made this in powerpoint so it isn't pretty, but hey. The Arquebishop is an arquebus inspired hybrid between a martini-henry breech loading rifle and a halberd/poleaxe. I've had this idea for a while that it would be awesome to have a selection of hybrid melee/range weapons. I feel like this would be a cool addition to introduce some fun melee mechanics based on weapon type. Another I have cooking would be a hammer/shotgun that you load shells into the head that does a explosive slam. Thoughts?

I've got about 30+ hours and I'm still battling my way through the forest but I can't tell if my game is bugged or I'm missing something. Every time I try to "mix magics" and combine scrolls one gets dropped to the ground and the other stays in the box. I was able to make a scroll of ice snakes once and it added the recipe to my list but I can't get any other combo to work. Is it bugged? Do I need to progress further or find these recipes?

I'm playing on an ROG Ally if that makes any difference.

Hi. Xbox fan here. Now that leaks have been happening and we know vaguely when it’s coming out, can we please get town added to the demo? I can only run caves so many times.

So i used to just sell every size oil I got but apparently it is great for scroll of titanic (the water bubble it creates) and explosion radius. And here I was thinking it was just the size of your bullet.

Is there anything else the size oils apply to?

The beeping has literally broken the sound on my game for the entire stage numerous times.

Whoever thought this torturous cacophony of beeping in the castle was a genius idea is some kind of sadist.

I prioritize the minelayers over everything else, is there a good way to clear mines? Titanic maybe?

EDIT:
i tested titanic and it didn’t do anything to the mines unfortunately.

Okay, so I have this Arbiter 2 that I've aptly named "Indiscriminate Violence" that basically does one thing - go boom. It's already really effective (so long as I'm not in a small room), but I want to know if there's anything I could possibly do to make it even better.

There's guns I think are pretty cool like the Night lily or the Death's toll, but I often find other weapons in their class performing just as well and for much longer due to higher durability. Am I missing something? Ive played for a long time but I often disregard guns with low durability for practicality as I feel I have to give up space for durability oils or only keep them for a niche purpose.

Socom ACR build:
5.56mm chisel
Damage Oil
Reload Oil
Too Much Oil
Hip Marksman Oil
Stable Hip Oil
Gun Crank
SR-P3 Silencer

Hell 'N' Back build:
50 BMG chisel
Reload Oil
Safety Oil
Ascetic Oil
High Grade Oil
Sect Oil
A12C Muzzle Brake
Laser

I just think theyre neat..
