i tested all of the pets. leveled them to 15 ad let them fight against a lvl 13 female mutant.
they are all the same in attack with a few exceptions: the black beetle and the lava elemental are a bit better, the skeletal warrior a little worse. HP from 470 (sand beetle) to 1370 (ogre lord) at lvl 15. of course the pets are better in def the higher the zone they are from.
a well rounded pet in mid-level is the black beetle, though he has a little less HP. good in attack and also good in def.
if could also post the entire data i took if wanted.
rapid bowgun MK-33 with damage-mod, anti-armor-mod and 2 fire rate-mods. i play a noble, lvl 809 with 466% more damage and accuracy and this means one arrow kills any mob instantly.
fire rate 17,5/s ....
funny, i am a noble, lvl 661 on day 191. small gun 75, big gun 75, shotgun 110, rifle 110, reloading 252 (410 times faster actually). i get deleted from the hoghscorelist because somebody thinks it isn't possible.
it is. anoble gains 40% more exp anyway. if you kill the parachute-rats in the air you get about 35 exp - per rat. so it is possible to gather up to 20 levels on a single day.
@Ulykz:
the key to win are the rats with the parachutes. believe it or - even better - try it. they give tons of exp if you shoot them in the air.
once you have tons of exp evrything is running on its own.
and btw: don't use a bowgun. you will shoot the birds that drop the rats. and give at least 2 of your party members the advice not to shoot at airmobs, maybe even all of them.
day 111, and what i have is: ranger, lvl 103 with grenade launcher; sniper, lvl 155 with bowgun; hunter,lvl 131 with bowgun.
i play a noble at lvl 319. shotgun 82, small gun 62, rifle 62, reloading 77. most of the time i do nothing and let my party do the work so they get exp. i wait for the parachuterrats ....
ok, now i found out how to beat this game easily:
Choose a sheriff or a noble with shotgun. in your party 2 rifleclasses, means hunter and sniper and a ranger with big gun chosen and grenadelauncher (gravity gun sucks ...).
make sure your party gets an improved aiming time.
when the birds come who drop the parachuter-rats, DON'T kill them immediately and wait for the parachuters to kill them in the air. this will give you tons of exp. don't care about perfect levels and let your party have a little bit of work.
if you steadily upgrade your weapon abilities and reforge your combat shotgun you should have no problems at all.
this game can be great fun, but it depends on luck to find the right weapon and so my rating is 2/5.
very annoying sometimes if you play for 1 or 2 hours and you know you can't go on if your desired type of weapon doesn't appear. nobody wants to waste his time, so please update the smith-options.
