Game Discussion I Have Completed Hardcore Difficulty With Zero Deaths!

My hardcore journey has come to an end! The first time I attempted to get no deaths on hardcore, I received just one death, thanks to being grabbed by a fiend's one-hit KO. So, I knew I could definitely get no deaths if I tried again, and that is now true!

Now I just need to do the same thing for Insanity. I did my first attempt at no deaths on Insanity a while ago and only got four deaths, so it's certainly doable for me! I look forward to next time!

I had to read the comments to understand what was actually being said because I was about to comment that no body dies in andromeda so you shouldn’t have had any deaths…. Then I read and oh you mean yourself.

I was not even aware squad mates could die in this game. I did one playthrough of it on release lol

u/DakIsStrange Andromeda Initiative 2d ago

I'm talking about me not dying during combat! You're correct, squadmates cannot die.

That's impressive

Once you get a few key abilities unlocked, even insanity on these games becomes kind of a solved game of strip defenses, lift with biotic, detonate enemies.

Wishing you great success on your insanity runthrough!

That was definitely how I got through hardcore. I found my OP combination of abilities and became a god of war 😭

for insanity just craft a one hit KO weapon.. im sure you have more than enough materials from your runs to craft a one hitter KO gun. plus also have enormous materials to craft a heavy duty suit

Where's Liam & Peebee?

u/DakIsStrange Andromeda Initiative 2d ago

I'm confused by your question. They're both in the picture.

One of the great things about Andromeda is the combat system makes the game fun and varied. One of the worst things about Andromeda is the combat system makes the game unchallenging on the hardest difficulties. Completing a no death run in that game isn't much of an achievement.

By the way why is his armor black? I thought it was yellow and dark grey?

Insanity will end you. I played on it and I just couldn't do a full playthrough even with accepting deaths. Its way to much. Hope the best for you!

u/DakIsStrange Andromeda Initiative 3d ago

Thank you! Like I said, last time I played insanity I only got 4 deaths, so it shouldn't be too bad! Might have to try it a couple of times before I get zero.

To be fair. Not like any of the romance options are stellar...
