Hello Grim Dawners.
I would like you to post here every weird thing you happen to find when playing GD.
Did you know you can actually burn those pesky burning soldiers? At least I am damaging them using Black Water Cocktails.
What is an armored vehicle + gattling gun doing here? It looks nice anyway.
Personally, I’d assume that the warcars are military gear that the Aetherials destroyed and that was simply left behind. People aren’t salvaging the gatling guns because they’re too heavy for a person to carry and the few organised groups there are left don’t have the industry to keep them supplied. Nobody’s stripped the armour because most of the warcars are in contested territory, making salvaging operations difficult and dangerous.
…of course, in real life the reason is that Crate wanted to make a hack’n’slash, and it’s difficult to be a hero if the other guys have gatling guns. Torchlight 2 tried it and the game arguably suffered for it.
As for your point about the Emberguards, I’m pretty sure that there is no such thing as true immunity to an element in the game, just very high resistances. So the Rotting Emberguards are still taking damage from your Blackwater Cocktail, it’s just that they only take twenty percent of its listed damage per tick or so.
