Each block of corpus you have has a limited amount of damage it can take before it breaks. Corpus works a little differently than most health bars. By default, most characters start with 3 corpus. First, we'll cover abilities that every character has that will help you through the whole game.- Corpus: Your corpus is your health.
Press the left mouse button and your character will perform it. Sometimes it's viable to evade enemies and wait for your corpus to regenerate before entering the fight again.- Basic/Light attack: This attack is your most basic one. Your corpus, if not broken, can replenish any hits it has taken if you go long enough without taking damage. If all of your corpus break, you die.
This makes melee weapons a fantastic crowd control device, allowing you to kill multiple enemies in single strikes. Heavy attacks do extra damage and are also able to hit multiple targets at the same time. Hold down the shift key and press LMB. It's always a good idea to stunlock a dangerous enemy and prevent them from attacking for as long as possible.- Heavy Attack: The heavy attack is one of your most useful and reliable abilities in this game. These attacks are very fast but don't do as much damage, these attacks are primarily used for single targets and initiating stunlocks.
Light attacks are most likely to deal critical hits, due to skills involving timing your LMB press just before you strike an enemy. Critical hits double your damage as well as your combo meter, allowing you to do more damage. Certain characters have special charge attacks, but we'll get into that later.- Critical Hits: You may notice while fighting enemies, flashes of light will appear followed by a sound effect. Stage 2 is a spin attack that will hit enemies surrounding you and also send them flying. Your charge attack has two stages, stage 1 will allow you to do a heavy sweep in front of you that will decimate any any foes caught in the way. Hold down lmb and charge your attack, to unleash the attack, simply release the LMB.
Heavy attacking with two weapons will also allow you to cover more surface area.- Blocking: Blocking is a great idea if you want to escape stunlocks as well as avoid damage. Dual wielding tends to result in you doing less damage, but you attack much faster. This will allow you to dual wield. To put a weapon into your offhand, press right click on a weapon on the ground. This will highlight any weapons on the ground. Keep this in mind while using your unarmed attacks.- Dual Wielding: To dual wield weapons, pick up a weapon into your hand and then hold the Q key.
Some characters are also capable of blocking and/or deflecting bullets with their block.- Sweet Spot: The sweet spot only appears if you are holding a ranged weapon. If you are caught in a stunlock, timing your block will allow you to escape. This will lessen any oncoming melee damage.
This is because of your TAC Bar. When fighting a ranged enemy, you may notice that when you get shot you don't always take damage. Shooting an enemy while they stand in the sweet spot can bypass their tac bar as well as do critical damage.- TAC-Bar: Your TAC-Bar is your lifeline in this game when it comes to dealing with ranged opponents. Some weapons have shorter or longer sweet spots depending on their range.
Special moves such as executions will give larger increases to tac rather than just killing enemies normally.- Shootin': Guns in this game have two things you can do, aim, and then aim for headshots. To replenish your tac bar, you must kill enemies. Your tac bar is also 50% less effective if you are shot in the back, so be sure to be facing any ranged enemies you might encounter. Certain enemies have skills that can bypass your Tac bar, such as the sweet spot skill. The tac bar slowly diminishes as you're being shot, if the bar reaches zero, you will start taking damage.
It's recommended to always try to hit for headshots.- Dodge: By tapping the space bar, your character will perform a dodge. Holding shift will allow you to aim for headshots, which can give you can increase in damage against your foes. Some characters have a recoil compensation skill, which will completely nullify recoil if you aim for long enough.
If you just want to do a heavy dodge, hold shift and then press space.- Throwin' Stuff: By holding down the Q key and pressing LMB, your character will throw whatever item they have in their hand. This dodge allows you to cover more distance, but takes a longer time to perform. If you were to press the space bar again immediately after performing a quick dodge, your character will do a heavy dodge. If you are caught in a stunlock, timing your dodge will allow you to escape. This move is ideal for escaping stunlocks as well as making distance between you and the enemy.
Press G to throw them.- Pommel Strike: By pressing the middle mouse button with a ranged weapon, you can pistol whip your enemies with the butt of your gun. There are also throwing specific weapons, which will default to your grenade slot. Throwing weapons can be an effective method of gaining the ranged advantage without using a firearm.
These homing projectiles do massive damage to single targets and can vaporize them. Stage 2 on this charge attack does an AOE dissonance attack, vaporizing any enemies caught in it.- Christoff's Dissonance Bolts: By pressing the G key, Christoff can throw dissonance bolts. The stage 1 charge attack does a small force push all around Jeb, which will push any enemies away and potentially send them flying.
Know Your WeaponsThis game has a wide variety of weapons, so I will not be covering each individual weapon, but be covering each type of weapon. Doing a charge attack with these weapons results in a special animation, this attack in particular is ideal for dealing devastating damage, as well as brutalizing clusters of enemies. Keep in mind though, enemies that cannot be brought to Sanford will instead bring Sanford to them.- Deimos' faster kick: It's worthy of note that Deimos has a faster kick.- Large Melee Weapons: Some melee weapons in this game are MASSIVE, and thus they take a very long time to swing. This can be a great method of closing the distance between you and a ranged enemy, as well as doing heavy damage to single targets. If you throw this hook, it will hook into an enemy and return to Sanford. Simply hold Q and press the LMB over the item you want, and it will float into Jeb's hand.- Sanford's Hook: Sanford's hook is a special weapon as well as having a special ability attached to it.
Despite this, these weapons are still extremely viable and tend to be a one up over light weapons. These weapons tend to deal much more raw damage at the cost of swing speed. These weapons are great for quick use and dishing out damage quickly.Heavy weapons tend to be held with both hands, but some characters can hold them with one. These weapons attack very quickly and tend to be lower on the durability side.
