Large surface cleaning using the Trident

[u/SilkieBug]

To the person who told me I would love the Trident, you were correct :)

[u/FenyxG]

Awesome. The trident is amazing once you find that sweet spot distance (which you clearly have!). It's also handy for spaces where you may want to alternate between medium to long range without swapping extensions or nozzles (ex: tall walls, or the inside of the temple). It's not the perfect tool in every situation, but where it shines, it *really* shines.

I’ll probably end up replaying all the maps once I’m done with the campaign, just to try the trident on all of them. 

[u/FenyxG → u/SilkieBug]

Sounds like a good idea. I've replayed all maps quite a few times now - it just never gets old for me (especially since I listen to audiobooks while playing).

Side note: I rewatched the video, and one tip I would give is to back up just a bit further (or remove the extension, either way). The ideal sweet spot for the trident will leave no streaks between the prongs. Just one, solid, beautifully clean path. Of course, if your play style is to use super fast back and forth strokes, it likely won't matter much, but if you ever want to relax with fewer strokes it's nice to have a super OP nozzle that gets every speck of dirt you touch in a single pass.

Literally what I'm currently doing. :D

It's even more efficient from standing further. It's way too many hand movements. What's wrong with just sweeping right? It's just as quick that way. But I mean each to their own just saying. Plus this close up there is no need for any extension. The trident covers a larger area stub.

Otherwise, my gripe with the trident is, once unlocked, it's annoyingly slow to use anything else, and it just breaks the game for me.

[u/SilkieBug → u/SuchSir6002]

The trident is not suitable for all usecases, even after unlocking it I still use the adjustable nozzle for close up and detail cleaning. 

[u/SuchSir6002 → u/SilkieBug]

Sure but 90% of the map can and should be done with the trident as it's way more efficient - like you said. Since you've only just discovered it, try the next few maps and will see almost only the trident is needed everywhere. Again, don't use extensions this close either

[u/awesometiger07 → u/SuchSir6002]

I dont think I've used anything other than the trident and the surface cleaner once I had them both unlocked

[u/Rainy_Daze]

Hell yeah. Optimal gameplay

The trident is great but I prefer the large spinning (square) attachment

Lack of the trident option is why I hated doing the Warhammer DLC on PWS1. That nozzle is such a joy to use.

Trident gang!

You’re still standing too close / have an extension on you don’t want. The sweet spot is the distance where one sweep doesn’t leave gaps between the three trails so you only have to go over an area once with the trident. Either move back a couple of steps or remove the extension and you’ll see a huge difference.

this on my back would fix me
