@as79 Try the following combos: Duelist/Rogue with Revolver, Sheriff with Shotgun, or Noble with Bowgun. They all work just as well as hunter. The only hard part of this game is the first few days. If you get a good weapon or a good mod in the first 5 days, u're set for the next 70 days or so.. then the exploder waves become an issue (but by then u would have other ways to handle that)

Finally got the imp. It took two days to do it, and in that time I've had the pleasure if seeing how wonderful this game truly is. The upgrades... The battle system... The interface and design... This is, in my opinion- The best shooter on Kongregate. It may be very hard, but damn... It's very, very good. 5/5

I initially rated this a 5, but I'm changing it to 3...this game is ridiculously hard unless you take a Hunter or use the Casual Mode

Odjoe, i think the ap bonus is totally random. I have my noble and the rogue both with ap bonus skill maxed at 10, and often i take 4 ap. It's matter of luck :-)

To the one who's saves got deleted.... that'll happen when you clear your browsers save files. Did you recently do a disk cleanup?

About my save's being deleted: I haven't played HC.
And it deleted everything, all my saves, all my medals. Pretty annoying. First I gave fault to Chrome, but it happend the same with IE. Now trying with FF, hoping for the best.

@omgwtf that has never happened for me :S. @mattrimx not really essential... helps a lot granted.. but its possible to do without too... The main problem is exploder waves anyway, which you would normally 1hit even without partying. (if u aren't 1hitting them... u're screwed)

Hardcore mode erases your save on every round so you can't load if you lose, not sure about the connection issues though..
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Alright now I'm confused. I tried it once more, and saving manually did not take my game off of hard core mode. However now it isn't letting me connect to the chat/badge system, even though those are both working properly if I switch to a different game...

No it definitely takes my game off of hardcore whenever I manually save.
After manually saving, and starting a new wave, it no longer shows the "Save Game Deleted (Hardcore Mode)" box thing by the top of the screen.
On the main menu the highest hardcore wave reached stops increasing for any levels I complete after manually saving.

day 142 hardcore... rogue with a revolver as my main char, 2 gravity guns and and automatic shotgun. The name of the game is money, you have to earn as much as possible to upgrade as fast as possible. Getting the Villa and throwing parties to increase damage is ESSENTIAL to pass the higher levels. Get it up to 10 and you do 100% more damage. When starting off, get your helpers as fast as possible, don't worry about the other stuff til later. Have fun!

This game just never gets old. xD I just wish there was a volume control other than on/off.. I'd like to have my music but still hear the effects, and tweaking volume mixer is just annoying..

The reason this game is very difficult at first is because reloading/cool/accuracy are skills you actually have to learn. Weapons early on take forever to reload, forcing you to pick non-reload weapons like bowgun or "instant" reload weapons like shotgun/revolver. Furthermore, early on you can point your crosshair dead on the center of a rat and still miss, because you don't have enough accuracy/cool. It gets a lot easier once u get those 3 skills to a decent level though, and then a lot of the "junk" weapons earlier start to seem pretty useful.

Earthbound, the game is very difficult at first. Try to get as many medals as you can, expecially those that give ap bonus. With time, the game will became easier. Unlock the noble and give him a bowgun, he's a real monster with his damage and accuracy bonus.

This game is way too difficult for me.
If I play as Sheriff or Hunter, I can get to like day 12, but then too little money to upgrade and go on.
If I play as Rogue, I can't even pass day 7.
Is there something I am missing?

@kalalas were u in rampage? reload is faster when you're rampaging. @OMGWTF saving the game doesnt make it not hardcore... u restarted for nothing. You can save your hardcore as much as u want, it just gets deleted whenever you start a round.

if you want to be rich, try a rogue in the party. I'm at day 212, harcore mode, with taunt i can obtain 20000 coin a day, without consider eggs and robbery. Rogue isn't a very good fighter, but give him a laser gun and he'll be of some help.

@Thyraxus: Go to the second page of the Tower upgrades. Buy lots of chickens on round 2-3, and pick up eggs every round. Also, buy Museum level 1 asap, and purchase further levels. You can always go to the museum and for 2AP, shoot people! Finally, watch your outgoings - most investments on page 1 of the Tower upgrades cost you maintenance every turn.

Also is there any way to make it so the save button doesn't work when I'm on hardcore mode?
Twice now I've accidentally saved my hardcore game out of habit, resulting in it becoming not hardcore anymore, and making me have to repeat the entire game over again for it be hardcore again... extremely annoying.

Now at 60 HC. This is taking forever
Well, now, at least, I can remove Hero Mode and let the game play itself, I guess... Though I still need to find a level 51 Rifle XD (my weapon is 21)

Man i have every badge except for 2 of them and I still can't get to day 100 on hardcore.. after day 42 it gets crazy.. best so far is day 56 :( i'm a hunter with guardian/militia/ranger.. help!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Try buying as many chickens as you can early on (there's a second page of tower upgrades, if you didn't notice! [I didn't notice until near the end of my first game]). The earlier you manage to get them, the sooner they pay themselves off and the more you end up making off of them.

Thanks for all the suggestions, but how do you get the cash to build up the house to have 3 troopers *and* buy all those weapons and upgrades to equip them (and yourself)? The only way I seemed to get decent amounts of money was with the rogue, high "Luck" skill and lots of critical hits...

The game for those of us that have OCD. .... .... I'm going to be playing this forever -_____- ..not a bad thing tho__O
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
just get a bowgun with as many slots as you can find and put one auto fire mod and as many fire rate as you can.
things that help: a noble or hunter as you (piercing is mandatory), a guy with enginer on your team, taunting a lot, getting as many medals as you can, impact mod, perfect games, etc
to start you can use a rifle till day 10 or so then you switch to the bowgun and upgrade it.
have parties...
good luck

@Thyra the problem is that you have only 2 guys instead of 3. You should get all 3 ASAP, and definitely before wave 20. Use your retries to get the good weapons... Get a Revolver for yourself, and your teamates should use one or more of the following: Autoshotgun/Laser Pistol/Gravity Gun. But there are other decent ones too like grenade launcher. And if you can't get any of those weapons, get an Anti Armor mod and/or a leech mod on day 4 (Mod Day!) (Make sure your shop is decent sized otherwise u're in for a lot of retries)

and unless you want survival badges, just carry over, and keep saving before you go into the battle. with carry over you can get most of the badges. id aim to get all badges except survival first then do survival
