This week's seed: ThePlayerOfGames


The Weekly Seed is open to anyone.  High scores are not the only feature of the runs and the main reason for putting this together is to share our experiences, stories, and tactics over the course of your run.  Some super secret achievements will be selected with some RNG at the end of each week from my steadily growing list.  Please leave suggestions for the naming of next seed or other achievements to include to my list once you have finished your run!

Rules are as follows:

I got too confident on the early levels especially as I was able to get out of the mine safely. However I quickly ran out of weapons and everything else and ran to another level without anything useful. I must follow the advice of ensuring that I only go to the next level with a decent set of items.

Interesting little game.

I tried focusing on guns rather than cannons.  Not sure I'm going to do that again.  The most powerful I felt was when I had 2 ballistic guns and 2 ballistic cannons (advanced assault cannons).  Those plus 2 advanced targeting computers were one shotting everything quick.  It was the first time playing cogmind where, without having like 3 launchers at once, I legit felt way more powerful than the competition.

Also, when melee bots get into melee range, god do they hurt.

Despite being reckless and just having fun I made it to Research ;D

Though not very far into Research :'(

The first half of this seed had some seriously awesome gear...
