I'm playing on Hard, but I'm fairly new to the game. I'm level 9 and just made it back from Junkyard with the Armadillo drill item.
The acid dogs and mutants were hard, but not impossible, but now I find I am getting totally dumpstered by everything I run into, even when I reload spam - whether it's Faceless at Cross Rails, Iron Guard in nearby tunnels, or even a gang of Lunatics back near GMS station, or the burrowers inside that room in GMS.
What carried me this far was setting enemies on fire to fear them, and generally doing a huge amount of damage before they could kill me; it's just not enough any more.
I went PSI with high INT WILL and CON, with lots of lockpicking, stealth, hacking, metathermics, psychokinetics, Persuasion and Intimidation, with a minor amount of three of the forging skills which I haven't yet used.
Can I salvage this characterby getting some better gear, maybe a shield somewhere, or did I mess up my character build and need to restart? Maybe I needed to get all four PSI schools, or Traps, or Throwing?
If I head back into Junkyard for the looming gang showdown will that give me an opportunity to strengthen myself or will it dumpster me too?
