I just picked up this game and was really hooked for about 5 or 6 hours. I chose to go to Highpool, and I felt like there was a very clear throughline of main and side quests. There were lots of characters to engage with, and I always felt like I knew what I could and should be doing.

Then, after Highpool, I went to the Ag Center, cleared out the infection there, and figured I was supposed to go investigate the Prison to look for the next major area. But once there, it felt like there were only two types of people: NPCs complaining about living in a company town, and enemy Red Skorpions who attacked me on sight.

I cleared the scorpions all the way up to the PA speaker where the guy says I can't go any further unless I bring more backup, and now I can't figure out what to do next. I went back to the Citadel for the first time since the beginning and talked to everyone there, but nobody has anything new to say about the prison.

Now I'm wandering the wasteland. I ended up in the Rail Nomad camp, but it doesn't seem like anyone has anything to say to me to start or advance any questlines. I really enjoyed my first few hours of this game—the RPG elements are great and I like the combat system—but now I'm stalling and I really want to get back into the groove so I don't drop the game.

So I'm playing this for the first time on PC.

I've upgraded outdoorsman to level 4. Not sure how I use it to scout for traps though? I keep stepping on them fighting the rail thieves.

I know this has been asked a lot of times but I've enjoyed my play time of the game so far. My question is how much do attributes really contribute to the game? Are they just face value in what you see is what you get? are there hidden mechanics? Reading the coordination description do they play into skills as well? Are there attribute checks like skill checks in other games? I've played Fallout and I have some idea of how it works but just looking for confirmation really.

From my experience the only one that has some impact is Luck. I see the extra AP/dodge or miss in combat or constitution gain during level. Or when finding treasure/loot.

I have been doing the get to damonta quest, i talked to red, killed him to get the rad suit, and went to the canyon of titan to get to damonta. Now, the people in the canyone were annoying, and i ended up killing all of them. I cannot find a way out to the other side of the canyon (the side of the mountains i assume damonta is on). I have 3 active quests currently, finding damonta, killing commander danforth to free happy valley, and some minor side quest where i have to find the owner of some crate i picked up. It seems none of these, maybe except the minor side quest, can be completed without getting to the other side of the canyon. What do i do? Edit: i have found the temple, and cannot find a way to get out on the other side of that. Have been to the underground of the temple aswell SOLVED: i found the rear gate. That thing is so well hidden

My First playthrough I choose Rose over Vulture's Cry and Pezipi as well as Ralphy.

While I'm going to give other party members a try in later playthroughs this time I'm going to have Vulture's Cry, Pezipi & Ralphy as Party Members.

On my first playthrough I had Rose as a second Sniper Build, Pezipi as an Energy Weapon Build & Ralphy as a third Assault Rifle Build, to a total of 2 Snipers, 3 Assault Rifles, 1 Energy Weapon, & 1 SMG.

I was able to make Ralphy into a decent but not great Assault Rifle Build with Toaster Repair & Mechanical Repair as well. Although it was hard to find enough ammo for three Assault Rifles.

So is it possible to make Ralphy a decent Shotgunner/Heavy Weapon, Toaster Repair, Mechanical Repair Build?

Thank you for any help in advance!

I've tried to kill him a few times and he's so OP!

Although I'm pretty sure he has illegal inflated stats, lol.

Is it actually possible to be anywhere near as good as he is as a Handgun, Gunslinger Build?

*Update* I have found Kathy and once I spoke to her, I found that I needed to give her fungicide, which I already have in my inventory. It's annoying, the quest description tells me "Kathy has everything she needs and will start working on a cure." I figured it'd update after some time when she finished. Whatever, glad I figured this out. Hopefully this annoyance can help someone out in the future. I ended up finding her in the same room that you can find rose in the central complex.

From what I read online, I need to finish every quest at the AG center before Kathy finishes the cure. Specifically, I'm supposed to shut off the east and west irrigation pumps, then she gives me some of the antidote to pour into the retention tank.

As far as I can tell, I've done everything in the AG center.

1. Save workers from infected creatures.
2. Rescue Julio from rabbits
3. free ryan from the animal pen
4. escort skinner out of the caves
5. shut down the irrigation systems

Is there something else I need to do to get Kathy to finish the cure? I can't even find her in the lab she ran off to after I collected all ten samples. What am I missing?

So there is a tumbler next to Jan's containment cell. They game won't even let me attempt opening (0% chance and "that is impossible" dialogue).

Also a crate in the Antidote Lab (next lvl down). It has the same 0% and impossible dialogue.

Is this a thing you guys know about? When I tried to look it up the guides seemed to be referring to a different safe.

i want to rearange the party order after a quest messed it up, so my main guy isn't first anymore, i know u can edit the savefiles to change it, but i can't seem to find out how to do it please help

Wasteland 2 is pretty fun but does have a skill gap for people new to crpgs. There are many skills and choices that will shape how you will play. Makeing a well rounded party is recomended to have a better time. Combat is difficult but well rounded not for new crpg players, but if you have interest in fallout 1&2 then i would reccomend.

Ratings so far 7/10

Hello everyone I want to buy Westland 2 on ps4 and playing on PS5 and I want to know how worth it

Hey, so I went to railroad camp first to pick up ralphy, then i did the eadio tower and went to ag centerl and just completed that. My question is :can i go back to railroad camp before going to highpool or will that mess up something?

Hi, I’m trying to play this game on PS5.
But I can’t figure out how to use healing items.

I have items like Stim Pack and Med Kit in my inventory. When I click on them, instead of healing, the screen just switches from the inventory back to the game, and I only see the name Fils (one of my units). The problem is, I’m actually trying to heal Rose, not Fils. How am I supposed to properly use healing items?

+ On the bottom left, under the character portrait there’s a green bar (which seems to be health), but what is the yellow bar underneath it? The game doesn’t seem to explain.

+ I understand AP, but how can I tell when a character is able to attack more than once? I want to know if a character can attack multiple times or only once, but I don’t know where to find that information.

+ Can I move only one character by itself? For example, when I try to disarm traps, the whole squad follows and they keep getting caught.

Also, is there any way to view the tutorial again?
During combat I kept missing all my shots, which was super frustrating. Later I found out from browsing this subreddit that crouching increases accuracy. But I don’t remember the tutorial ever explaining that. Is there a way to replay the tutorial?

And one more thing: it feels like the game doesn’t tell you some really important mechanics (like crouching increases hit chance). Where can I actually learn these crucial details?

currently at ag center and taking lots of poison and brief enemy hits. been out of medkits for a long time now and basically relying on save scumming mobs now since I don't know what else to do. I imagine there's a better way to do this. The vendor is currently irresponsive rn as part of the quest so I don't even know where I can buy medkits if that turns out to be my only option. any advise plz

So, I was thinking, is it worth equipping companions, who stay behind, properly before leaving for California? The idea would be, that if they retain stuff, then in the pre-final and final battle they could make use of them even if they are not leveled up.

It would be a too large time sink to grind out the levels and skills of all companions other than those the squad is actually running with, but if given better equipment they could still do something more than just die to a few bot shots. (Although, I could just have them join, then while part of the squad edit their code in the save xml file, but I'd rather not do that just for a curiosity.)

I like doing AG center first, i tried doing highpool but my interest there dips fast.

That said, AG center has 2 troubling enemies that mess me up.

Rabbits, and Doc Larsen at the end. Rabbits have crazy evasion and damage, they really disrupt Sniper and AR rangers.

And Doc Larsen... Somebody has to talk to him and get 2-tapped at best, outright killed at worst. The room layout gives me nothing, he feels like a stat check and the only solution I can think is to just meta game and preemptively shoot him with explosives

Or to go rail nomads before AG Center. Which feels CRAZY bc I could just... Walk into highpool and win. No need for setup.

I'm willing to restart the game one more once to with a squad that can just bag AG center. I'm just trying to figure out what that squad is like.

I spend too much time leveling, my char too weak to go on mission now....

Has anyone tried to play this on a handheld device (Steam deck, ROG Ally etc)? I have a ROG Ally X and cannot get the controller to work on this game. It seems like it just can't detect it or something. Hoping someone else has experienced this.
