Of course, on higher difficulties these aren't all available. Oh, and high Agility, to dodge in melee combat. High Strength (so you can lug about everything and use Heavy armour),Īnd that's about it. High Maintenance skill (so your French-Epstein-modified weapons don't break), High Standard skill (to take advantage of all that convenient pistol ammo), Route to winning (as far as I'm concerned): ('Welcome to cyberspace' 'You mean this is what the hacking minigame is going to be like' ' Not even slightly, not that we'll actually tell you that in-game. The key is to make best use of your ammo = get high weapon skill and the RIGHT ammo for a situation, instead of peppering a hybrid with Standard ammo when you've got Standard Weapon skill 1. System Shock 2 has an 'immersive' tutorial/'class' selection opening dealy where the game flat-out lies to you and provides extremely misleading impressions.

I NEVER have to buy anything in Shock 2, so I end up with something like 3000 nanites on Easy difficulty. Viral Prolif is great for dealing with swarms. Navy or Marine, leave OSA for a second playthrough when you know the game a little better.

I like splattering spider against the walls inside the Many. Result is I can use Shotgun and Pistol ammo to full advantage, and grenades too, when I get Heavy skill and the GL. I always have Standard 3 or higher when I find the shotgun, provided I'm playing Navy or Marine.
