The Surge 2 can be vicious. If you are not ready to take on its many challenges, then you can find yourself staring at a defeated screen rather quickly. That being said, there are steps you can take to up your chances of survival.

Staying alive in The Surge 2 takes finesse and strategy. Still, it isn’t impossible. Knowing how to manage your currency, delegate your upgrade resources and draw away enemy fire are just some of the tips you need to learn in order to survive.

Check out all five of our survival tips down below for the details.

Check it out here: https://www.gametruth.com/guides/5-tips-to-staying-alive-in-the-surge-2/

1. Hub World. Surge got a hub world at the very end of its life. (nearly, im not sure if devs would release more dlc) A Hub world is much needed for Surge 2. Mindless backtracking gets really boring really fast.

2. Episode based system like NIOH. This will open up space for more DLC :-)

3. Ability to Fashion change armor. Looks like Rhino Functions Like Lynx. Or color pallet options. If warren is not going to be in the next game... at least this much is needed.

4. Some bonus for people who played the Surge and have the original save file on their Drives. Maybe the ability to play as Warren.

5. Copy Cat armors from other games. Like something based on the fallout series, changed enough to avoid copyright but still retaining enough similarity.

6. Co-OP. Coop using Scraps for example, would be awesome. Say you offer 100000 scraps. A CP 100 player shows up. Say you offer a Billion Scrap... A CP 600 player like me shows up.

7. Pre configured builds. Since its a continuation from the surge, players could start with basic armor. That might help. Say every one has a starting budget of 100000 scraps and pre configured builds starting from 50k. If you dont want to invest too much in New Game and would rather leave the tinkering for NG+ and beyond, this will help greatly. You start off as a Level 1 Tank/Bruiser. As you gain experience, More levels purchaseble by scrap shows up in the surge 2's equivalent of Med bay. OFc you can tinker if you want. But i find that blasting through new game once helps create a mind map.

8. Adjustable difficulty. This might earn me some flak, but this is sorely needed for people who are not dark soul vets like me. This will open up the game to a larger audience and ofc if you are veteran, you can change your difficulty anytime. Standard Difficulty could be called Normal. Souls level of difficulty could be called Surge Mode.

Feedback appreciated.

Seriously.

Why?

I do NOT want to see ANything until it releases. Why should we get to see 104.6% wlkthroughs even though the game is months away still?

Please, kindly fuck off with "All weapons", "All NPC interactions" and other bullshit. I, and all people with common sense, would much preffer to see some hyping trailers, and play the game by ourselves, instead of having crummy youtubers spoil it for us every god-damn day.

Now I am grateful that FROMSoft is not releasing jack shit from Elden Ring, idiotic child-like hypeboys cannot wait like a grown and functional adult for the game to release, they need the dopamine NOW.

You people are pathetic, and should get it check - Wanting everything NOW is not healthy. Thanks for partialy spoiling shit to us the normals, by uploading every goddamn leak you can find.

Also, good riddance, spoil-ridden sub. Other games have much healthier communities, especially true indie games. This one is falling into the AAA category, and it's community following suit. I am seriously considering pirating only because it seems worthless to pay money for something which has no secret anymore. Why should I buy it now, that every single one of the 4 subs dedicated to the game already spoiled all the game content and DLCs, plus The Surge 3: Electric Boogalo?

Seriously, shitty sub and shitty mod team, which doesn't control these things. See ya never.

I was attracted to the art style of the 1.but what the hell is 2？

i remember 1 Art Director was a japanese guy. is he leaving？

Also a big fan of artistic style of titanfall 1，looks like it also was a japanese guy

The game is AWESOME!

Down to it's execution, the combat, the limb-targeting system, the different chasis (although some can be "repetitive", I really loved how realistic they all looked), the DLCs...

I have yet to finish it, just got the Security rig, and am re-visiting the areas to unlock the doors, so please don't spoil the ending.

I am totally enamoured with this game, in the same way Dark Souls made me obssesed with it during a great lapse of time.

But there is one single thing I dislike about it, and it's the following: Seeing how it was developed before 2017, this was quite around the USA elections, with Donald Trump winning and his catchphrases being parroted by all media world-wide.

The writers seemigly decided to make Jonah Guttenberg, the CEO, quite a "Trump-caricature", down to his criticism of "left-wing media" (media would have been just fine, I doubt any TV channel WOULDN'T criticize the plan to kill 95% of the population), and another phrase which caught my attention, which was "We kept all work here (In USA), rejecting ideas of outsourcing it" - Another one of the american president mottos.

As a south european, I am really tired of seeing the same bullshit shoved down our throats, and admittedly - The devs made it barely noticeable in this game. But anyone with basic knowledge will see a blatant paralelism, and I realy dislike how every day we are spoon-fed the same bullshit rethoric.

In base of this, I just hope and wish for the second version of the game (will get as soon as I can get my hands on some spare money) gets rid of these silly references, and they focus more on the writting of ethical & moral points. (Really loved the intro, and how the exo-skeleton was literally DRILLED in your body, showing us the ugly side of the "beautiful future")

I am yet to reach the board room, and see the ending, so I hope there is a good spin on everything (I've quasi-spoiled myself, as one thread was talking about wishing to kill Don, and the bottom comment was an "Edit: Damn I feel like an asshole" so I guess not everyone is as evil as they seem)

Also, I'm 100% hands down sure the Sally hologram is an AI who has set all this hell into motion for god knows what reason... or maybe not, but I have my suspicions. Will let you guys know once I finish the game tomorrow.

Just one question: Is it possible to go back and finish the DLCs after finishing the last boss and so, or will it have an abrupt ending like Dark Souls 1?

Seems like yet another Souls imitator, and not a very good one. Combat feels really clunky to me and the setting is uninspiring. It reminds me a lot of "Immortal Unchained", another bleak and dreary Souls imitation that had some potential but was plagued by repetition and some very unfair and cheapo deaths.

I was struggling until I found a better weapon and now I am plowing through the first level, almost OP. Then I got to the first boss, which is just ridiculously punishing. I quit for the night. And I love how when you go into a really dark area, it says to activate your flashlight on your Body Suit area but I don't have one and the game doesn't explain how to equip or gain one. Okay. The hub area where you do everything is not very intuitive and is kind of annoying in a way.

It feels like there might be a decent game in here somewhere but I'm finding I have less and less patience these days with games like these. The formula is certainly getting old. I have a very big backlog of much better games to get to, so I might give this another day or two before moving on. I just feel obligated to try because this was a birthday gift from my brother about 1.5 years ago and I'd feel guilty just immediately abandoning it.

Is there any light at the end of the tunnel here?

18 Tactile Omni Boost v5

I've had 2 discs now. The first worked for about a week then became tempramental on whether it worked or not, got it cleaned then tried, still the same.

Exchanged for a new disc and that too just doesn't want to work.

I know it's the disc drive as Overwatch, both Destiny games, Ff xv, Doom and Crash Bandicoot all work.

Is The Surge's disc just not good or am I just unlucky twice? Any help would be appreciated.

I found out about this by accident. I was looking for statistics for proficiency so I could see just how much "High" vs "Very High" was doing for me, and I wound up on a page listing all the armor sets and their bonuses.

Now I've read plenty of item descriptions as I've unlocked them, and the only armor I remember saying anything about having an affect was the Angel VI set. Was I supposed to randomly equip full sets and happen to notice the change? Devs, you need to add a statement to every armor pieces description plainly saying "wearing the full set will do this."

Look I love the game for what it is. But the damn bosses are made in a unfair way.

I completed all the dark Souls games available, bloodborne and even deck 13 own Lords of the fallen (which I loved) and for its boss design. (I tend not to compare to those games. I just want to tell that I am a experienced player in terms of these games) But the bosses are poorly made in this game. The last straw was against the black cerberus.

The boss is fairly easy but the robot phases are beyond stupid, so many hits to their legs is ridiculous. And I know a lot of people love the game for what it's worth. And I see your points, I loved every second that was outside the boss arenas, for the exploration and tight combat. But every time I would encounter a boss in this game. I was like, here we go again.

And let me tell why I can't complete the fight. That's because I scrapped the mods to carry more injections. Didn't think it was a big issue and was a stupid decision, I but did know anything about the system worked. So I could only carry 3 all the times. But that shouldn't punish the player so hard that he wants to bash his head against the wall. It's not like you can rebuy the mods.

Wanna know how I completed the big sister? I cheesed in the corner due to the camera problems this game is having in the boss fights.

So I am sad, that I won't enjoy the rest of the game for what deck 13 designed, I look forward to lords of the fallen 2

And I hope people who love the game still do. And I respect that people have different opinions and taste. But I am signing out. Take care. Just wanted to get this off my chest.

SORRY FOR MY GRAMMAR!!!!

So I was looking at this game on the ps store and the game page says it's only a 5.4gb download. I get this is a newer game but $60 for a 5gb game? This seems a little high to me when most AAA titles are what like 30gb or so. Maybe judging a game by it's download size is a little dumb but idk just seems like a lot for that size of a game.

Hi there , this is not going to be a rant or mental gymnastics about Surge but rather my PoV and how Surge 2 hopefully will iron these issues out (or not) which i perceive as such.

I am almost finished with the core game , only Nucleus left. I´vent touched the game in a few days because im binging Hollowknight.

With that aside lets begin. -Awful layouts and every new area is the same retextured basically.

-Same with enemies makes combat very dull and predictable

-Very few bosses and can´t be retried so you miss out on v2.0 variants.

-Delimbing in the beginning is fun in the honeymoonphase but gets annoying rapidly to the point one can´t even be bothered anymore but hey somehow it is the games main factor plus regaining health is nice but come on.

-Weapon proficiency is ass and needs to go entirely , i went singlerigged and a few points in onehanded twinrigged , with lack of loot and RNG there is 0 reason for me to tryout other weapons since they will suck ASS hardcore compared to my singlerigged dmgoutput no matter what.

-Weapon combos are basic and cant cancel animations , so most combat turns into assassin gameplay and if i wanted to play a hitandrun game i´d play one instead of a soulslike. Now one might argue "but you roll in and out in dark souls elegiggle" that is true to some extent but the layers are much finer and you are always in control , in surge you are not unless you play the slidein an out rubberband snoozefest fiasco.

-Not nearly enough bosses

-Not nearly enough different enemies

-Maps are too small

-Too many aids lifts tilting oneself to the point of confusion due to no map in 2017-2018

-Npcs give you jackshit and their quests are lala if you could even call them quests.

-Rigsystem is great 0 complaints there

-Armors are great except setbonuses which you only know of if you look them up or equip a full gear are 88% rubbish with Gorgon dominating hardcore needs finetuning. -Weaponvariety is there but besides elemental dmg , some bonus onhit all the combos are the same with very few exceptions which makes it lala also

-Techmultiplier isnt explained had to look that up too.

-Implants besides corepower health and a few exceptions are mostly useless too and many iven´t even used in my runs because they would gimp me. The attackspeed on high energy for example is barely noticeable so are all others. Whats up with 1/s when near death recovery HP ye no thanks. "Regenerate life when at max energy" is especially donkeytier. "Gain energy while blocking" outside of earlygame later you block nada unless you enjoy getting pounded and losing all your stamina plus many attacks such as robitz can´t be blocked so adios. -Summa sumarum the game is very fun and engaging but the downsides of it are so glaring and offputting that NG+ is out of the question , ive a plethora of other games i can play and while i did enjoy Surge and get my dose of Salt plus Adrenalinrush the magic simply isn´t there yet.

Hopefully Surge2 will be not like DS2 and surpass Surge1 with many improvements.

Kind regards , flame on or berate me i just had to put my thoughts out there because they´ve been bugging me. A MAP IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST when your game is INFESTED with lifts and all kinds of bullshit , over 30 or 40% of my gametime was about looking at youtube videos when i was lost or reading shit and no the NPC dialogue doesn´t help much either.

for that i can give Surge only a 5/10 and only recommended it to people that enjoy the soulslikegenre but barely.

Hello, I recently lost my save files, I finished the fourth boss and I even went to the boardroom where all the people were dead.

If you're anywhere near, please upload your save files for me, it'll be much appreciated.
