SS2 is not a forgiving game though, i tried to play it a few times before it clicked with me. You can poke your head around a corner to see an enemy before it sees you, but you're not going to sneak by it. (Cameras are bad news, make sure you hack those security stations.)įirst goal when you head into a new area is to find a med bay so you can set the respawn point.Īlso, stealth isn't really a thing in SS2. (Since you can either get anti-entropy or forgo guns altogether.) If you go with a psi build, you don't necessarily need maintenance. Given that the enemies respawn and roam, it's quite valuable.) (Make sure you map the controls so you can easily perform a manual keystroke turn while you have the inventory open and mouselook locked, you can essentially be watching your back while you hack a door. Hacking gets you through doors so you can have supplies, maintenance keeps those supplies working. Hacking and maintenance are almost the two most important things in the game, whichever way you go. I haven't played SS2 in a few years, so forgive me if i'm getting details wrong.
The assault rifle i think is the best weapon in the game, since it uses extremely common ammo and is very powerful, but you need to max out. The pistol, shotgun, laser pistol, and laser rapier are very good weapons that you can find relatively early on and can keep using almost through to the end of the game, though the crystal shard makes a brief foray into exotic weapons important later in the game.ĭon't ignore burst fire and overcharge, and make sure you use the right ammo against the right enemies. (I don't usually do psi builds, but the anti-entropy skill is a very useful compliment for the guns.) When i used to do hard runs through the game, i usually focused on maintenance, hacking, standard weapons, energy weapons, and melee. You need to minmax some stuff, you need to sit down and think about what you are going to do with your character and how those things will compliment eachother, jack of all trades builds do not fly. If you're going to play System Shock 2 without nerfing the weapon degredation or the enemy respawn and generally making the game less frightening and easier to play, you need a plan.
