They can audibly be identified by their heavy breathing and loud screeches. Other physical markers include full-bodied nudity, exposed bone and muscle and a mandible jaw that it uses against non-infected humans. Anyway, I forgot I was doing that, and just ended up getting into the game again, and now it's my highest level character.Volatiles are broad-shouldered and slightly taller than the average Biter. I remember the current save I have was started because I was trying to understand DMG ratings for the Ranger Bow, and if and when it changed. It's an interesting scenario, and it might be worth trying out one time. However, after you purchase the higher stat weapons and have them in your inventory, will they retain the higher DMG stats even after you advance Power levels? I imagine it would mean trying not to fight with anything or any one, while advancing agility and survival trees. I'm not sure how I could cap my Power level below 5, and advance my other stats and the game. I remember older threads discussing the Power level and weapon stats relationship, so there's definitely some related algorithm in the game. you can max legend, survivor and agility if you wanted and still get the guns.That is indeed a strange glitch but those DMG stats are all about 55% higher than normal. keep it at 5 or less and you get much better guns. Originally posted by Tymon:Also, it is ONLY power level that matters. simply start a new file with 'pact with rais' and farm stuffed turtle until you get enough supply packages to max out your survivor doesn't take THAT long. If you still don't believe me, try it yourself then. On a different save, that has JUST the survivor rank rather than legend rank 80.Īs you can see the base shotgun damage is almost 4k. you can max legend, survivor and agility if you wanted and still get the guns. that's it.Īs far as old town, joined a co-op partnerĪlso, it is ONLY power level that matters. And the countryside literally requires you to beat the prologue to start. These are from the merchant in the tower. So how did you get your max survival level character, with low power and agility skill trees, and low story progress, to Old Town and the Countryside? Did you join someone else's game to buy from vendors in those locations?

What's weird is that you claim you made these purchases from vendors in the Slums, Old Town, and the Countryside. For example, show the vendor inventory of a shotgun higher than 2550 DMG. I'm not saying that what you're claiming isn't true, but to really prove your point you would need to show screenshots of the specific weapons with higher base DMG rating than that listed above, in the vendor's inventory, prior to purchase. Showing these weapons in your inventory isn't really proof of your claim though.

The shops seem to sell different strength weapons even at the same power level. There might be some out there that are even more powerful. These are the highest damage guns I was able to get using the above mentioned trick.
