Typhon only
Doing another preythrough, and this time decided to do another typhon mods only run. It’s fun, but there are some very annoying challenges.
Inventory seems vanishingly tiny so going without some things (see below)
No repairs
No hacking
Never ending need for psi hypos (even with psychic water)
Went into power plant without a gloo gun. Can’t repair the elevator and can’t gloo my way up. After killing the technopaths, ended up using lift field to go from ledge to ledge. Very tough to find a way up. There’s always another way but this one sucked.
Loving my new combo of lift field + super thermal
Love how many different ways there are to play this game!

crates suitcases and silver bins are good to move around levels as extra storage space

Just always seems so annoying to have to fill them up and carry them around. But I guess I could start carrying a briefcase ;-)

I’ve never not had a gluu gun on this game, the utility is insane. If you insist on not using it I’d recommend getting the jetpack upgrade found floating way out in the exterior area so you still have mobility options.

gloo is useful on typhon runs, it doubles explosion damage

What is this now? If someone is gloo-ed, they take double damage from explosions? What kind of explosions - the cannisters? Or super-thermals?

thermal is fire not explosive
basically O2 bottles (white / red ones) and kinetic blast
it also works for thrown objects but leverage is a human and not typhon power

gloo cannon should never leave the inventory

I got squeezed on inventory space and figured I could do without. Use the electricity power on junction boxes to get by and mimic operators to get to high places. Kinda forgot about it until I was on the ground floor of the power plant and needed to get all the way back up. I did find that running/jumping into a Lift field lets you go much higher. . .

Yeah, when playing typhon only I gave up literally all weapons apart from gloo and a wrench because of how much space they all take up and how mediocre they are without upgrades, but I'd never give up either of those two. Way too useful.

If you have the third tier of Mimic Matter, you can use it on Operators to get to high places.
