SimplySupreme Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Basically every reviewer has hated on the drill, is it only me who thinks its fucking amazing? I was starting to agree with them and then i unlocked the running drill smash which can 1 hit multiple targets at once and now I'm loving it!

DMiZ Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Haha, I mainly used it on Hard to conserve ammo, and yet I'd walk around with completely full ammo half the time, I couldn't put it down. Going through it again on Easy now just slaughtering fools! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cauchy Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 The drill was a beast lol @ Rain the Drill ws the only thing that got me through Hard haha I freakin love that drill. Same here. Drill Dash + Winter Blast 3 = Unstopable!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L Fool Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 The drill definitely isn't that useful (on Hard) until you get the Drill Smash. After that it's absolutely amazing versus a lot of things. It's a 1 shot kill on a lot of things if you use the Drill Tonics and have Big Daddies researched. Not only that, but against two of the splicer bosses it knocks them down after EVERY Drill Smash. So you just Drill Smash, unload with plasmid+other weapon, then switch back and repeat. It made the Father an absolute joke! But against Big Daddies and Big Sisters, it's atrocious. You want to stay as far away from them as freaking possible to avoid some massive hurt. The drill was really good I think. They could've found far more uses for it though, in terms of environmental ones like smashing hidden walls or even random puzzle gameplay elements.

Drill Dash + Winter Blast 3 = Unstopable!!! YES! Nothing was more efficent than smashing them into little frozen peices. One-Two-Punch with Electro Bolt + Drill was awesome too I hope Funkyweed sends you a warning about that! I got one for bugger all You do know we can swear right? I know certain members here that swear in every post (Labreya lol) I swear quite a bit on the forum here too so i doubt he will get i trouble lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenix_Nguyen Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 At first I was like eh, but now after a while I love the freaking DRILL. Its all I use now. Once in a while I'll use a different weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, when you first get it and have to smash that rubble, I was kind of expecting to look for more of that type of stuff throughout the rest of the game.

SAS_Smithy_1986 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 DRILL is awesome and the dash ability is sweet for sure. however should been more interesting and made you smash through walls and debris made it useful like they did on MP its good to smash walls and find new ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olimpia84 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I use it mainly against the Big Daddies/Big Sisters/Brute Splicers. It has a lot of power with those research tonics and can be useful for saving ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorPaddy89 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 It's great gameplay-wise, but graphically I wish it looked more grisly. I want to be able to drill mofos and lift them off the ground at the same time, a la one of the trailers for the original BioShock. Visually, when it comes to enemy reaction, it's exactly the same as the wrench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you it would be awesome at times, but in general it would just cause you to sit there like an idiot, with a Splicer on your drill, all the while you're getting destroyed by everything around you.

Strideur Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I started using the drill because I was low on ammo, and now I can't stop. Once you figure it out, it's just too epic. I'll admit, it's a little OP... but too amusing to stop using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god-of-paradise Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 i like using it when i am protecting a little sister while she gathers adam. when ever splicers charge her, I charge them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you upgrade Telekinesis to Level 3 you can pick up alive enemies. From there you can drill them I know its not the same, but still satisfying.

SimplySupreme Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Upgrade melee tonics and Drill Damage weapon modifiers at Power Stations and the drill will become such a valuable weapon, its much better than Melee'ing someone with a gun.

HairySpud Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Ehh, while I do like the drill I find it very hard to use. I always end up getting shot waaayy too much when i'm running towards the enemy, so I end up getting killed before I kill the enemy Not sure if i'm using it wrongly, probably am to be honest, but oh well!

I mean when you drill them the drill actually goes into them rather than pushing them back. Well, if you upgrade Telekinesis to Level 3 you can pick up alive enemies. From there you can drill them I know its not the same, but still satisfying.True, I'm gonna give that a go now I forgot about the drill dash until only a couple of hours ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
