NA Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm doing my first runthrough on Hard, because I'm insane. And as if to drive that point home, my new best friend is the fuel station in Pauper's Drop. Why? It gives you 300 Drill Fuel (max) for free. Right next to that is the Fishbowl Diner, where Rosies spawn nearly constantly. If you are even slightly decent at movement, it is incredibly easy to kill them using the drill, and perhaps some electro bolts if you need to. They drop $25-50 when they die, along with 2 Health Kits or Eve Hypos, pretty much replenishing any supplies you used up. Go back to the Fuel Pump to top off your drill, and you may continue. I got max research on them done pretty quickly. The second level bonus is a 50% increase to all damage done with the drill, which is a huge perk so early on. Probably totally unnecessary to do this, but I honestly had fun and I figured I would share. If you are worried about hard mode, just spend some time in Pauper's Drop to take some of the edge off.

pikec21 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Nice work! I haven't started SP yet, 'cause I wanna get MP out of the way (lvl 37 now). This might be something I look into. Thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cauchy Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yeah, I did the same thing. I had most of my researching done on Thugs, Leatherheads, Brutes and Big Daddies, by the time I was done witht that level. Good old drill, nothing beats it.

Legion Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Great idea! I reached Paupers drop yesterday on my hard playthrough and am at that point now in my save. Will do that before moving on. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
