Multiples of Equipment

Post by VoxSerico »

I could not find this information anywhere;
Main question is, does having more than one "personal laser defense" equipped increase the effective firepower?

If it is so, it is not discernible in late-game firefights. If not, attempting to equip more than one should indicate it as inactive or deny item transfer.

Same thought occurs with regards to the exo-skeleton speed boost, but I have not yet tested it.

The game is about testing and finding out yourself. :) But yes, lasers and exoskeleton is useable multiple times. Currently the most players think it is not very effective, but again: Try yourself to find useful combinations. I think it could be effective, if you have many (!) lasers.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

We were supposed to add 2-3 versions of everything including lasers, it just wasn't finished, so it is the main reason why it isn't very effective.

Aaanyhow... If anyone else is still wondering,
after a few way too long play sessions dragging into my sleep schedule, the answer is yes on the lasers.
They fire at the same time when they get in range, that's why it was difficult to notice.

Yes, we should probably make some mechanism, that will make them fire at different times, so the frequency is clearly visible.
