THIS GUIDE IS NOT JUST ME, COMMENT ON THINGS YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD OR REMOVE, I WILL REPLY AS FAST AS I CAN AND MAKE EDITS AND GIVE CREDIT.

I've taken the time to make this guide because I love this game, and I don't see to many guides that are different, only how to get the "King Skeletor gun" and "Secrets... on how to get the king skeletor gun..." and there was no place to go for INFORMATION, such as what are the upgrades worth keeping, or what is the best way to complete a achievement or level. You know? Just basic info that no site or guide has up right now. So this is where you come in to help expand this guide as a hub for people to find information they need or would like to elaborate upon.

This DLC includes the Razorback weapon.

This is the BASICS of crafting, not much in-depth because not much Information has been found out, comment if you found anything out, I'd gladly add it.


You get the ability to craft, (warning spoilers)after Master Smith dies, the anvil becomes available for use.


When you are at the crafting station (The Anvil) you want to put in 3 "Upgrades" from any of the "Upgrades" categories of the same rarity (Categories are Weapon Upgrades, Fire Modes, Ammo Upgrades, Elemental Upgrades, Armor Upgrades, Power Upgrades, and Multiplayer Upgrades). After you selected your 3 it infuses to one "better" one. If you infuse three yellow, you have a chance of an orange. If you infuse 3 whites you have a high chance at a blue but a low chance at a yellow and so on.


-If you infuse lets say 3 +10% damage items, you WILL NOT get a +30% damage item! You will get something with random stats in return of your 3 items fused together.

- 3 orange gems give another orange gem 100% of the time

- 3 elemental gems give a gem with the same element (only works for this type of gems, others give completely random results)

- The level of the resulting gem depends on your progression in the story + difficulty and has a little of RNG too - crafting at the end of the game will give you higher level that just when you unlock the forge. It does not depend on the level of your character !

- Blue gems can sometimes results in an orange gem

- Crafting result upgrade quality depends on source upgrades quality now, crafting price depends on expected result quality

NOTE: The Infix of the word means nothing, such as Carnivorous Core of Haste, the Carnivorous and Haste mean something but the infix has no set defined stat. Elemental affixes and Multiplayer Upgrade affixes have no meaning. They just come with stats for the type it is. Such as 3 electricity ones could be called "Core of Electricity" and all have different stats.

Format of build please:

Name of Build and Maker:

Multiplayer Upgrade: Essence of Vigor ( Co-op player heal per second, Healing aura radius)

Tactics/Strategy to Build: Well as the build uses mainly a sword that shoots beams, you want to run in there, knock them down with C if possible, and start hitting really close, focus weaker guys first, run from big guys if they hurt a lot. Use Dash to get in and out of situations, like to heal or to get around them. And pay attention to your HP, it is vital you do. Focus on HP buffs, Damage, and Resistance, It is worth it at that high of a difficulty.

• To Finish the sections.
  
  
• Planning on adding the following sections: Builds for Weapons, Tips/Tricks, Secrets, and more to come. (suggestions would be appreciated).
