1. Lock On laser is good against many weak enemies if you can combine it with movement. (Rollshots, Running, breakdancing ect) 2. Disc launcher allows you to use Melee without consuming any energy, can use it at the end of a rapid fire gun as a "combo ender" using the quickswap tecnique. 3. Heavy Machine Gun is better then the assault rifle up close, it also gives you a Somersault that allows you to shoot in midair without needing a wall or vaulting. (You can swap guns in midair.) 4. AA Pistol is probably the best weapon in the game especialy paired with the Assault Rifle (Quickswap combo).
i really wish they'd gone with some kind of points-based upgrade system. who's ever gonna max out boost machine gun to make it shoot through walls? anyways, great video! i did a podcast episode on vanquish and didn't even know about the LFE gun's knockdown capabilities- that vastly changes my opinion of it
Absolutely! If Vanquish ever manages to see a remaster a rework of the upgrade system would be greatly appreciated, even just reducing the number of steps there are to maxing out a weapon would be a big help. It's like they tried to adapt a long form upgrade system into an arcade style game. Also thanks a bunch! Yeah the LFE gun is the MVP for keeping big enemies away from you, which is huge for God Hard and the final Tactical Challenge.
To ask, are you aware that certain weapon configurations are actually able to effect the melee attacks you could preform? For example, the Disk Launcher does actually get to use one of the Disks as a means to engage in close quarters if needed.
