He can currently use it on live servers though it requires the lunar rifts to be open though keep in mind you won't be able to see since it'll be dark but you could navigate by relying on your map if you don't want to use a light or again like I use it to afk when I want to without dcing. Walter has a lot of really neat interactions that go unnoticed due to his low popularity sadly another favorite is using poop pellets you can not only deaggro shadow creatures but broken clockworks as well to which they'll usually go back to their starting positions instead of attacking you before they restart the aggro process.

You can also put down fires with freeze rounds, its not as unnoticed but many people dont know about it. Also with the additional ammo per craft you can now make an insane farm of slurtle slime Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/162219-walter-should-get-a-bonus-for-foraging/page/2/#findComment-1780384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewabacca Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 36 minutes ago, Mysterious box said: Yeah people really underestimate how much fun his skill tree is as it really encourages the player to explore content due to how every piece of his gear is tied into various different major areas or content. There's also fun niche interactions like slowdown rounds being able to slow down nightmare creatures or honey rounds being able to trap birds. Basically Walter's skill tree feels like it encourages the player to interact more with the game rather than by pass it unlike a lot of previous ones at least in my opinion. Yeah I was going to write up a post on all the ways Walter's tree rewards the player for fully engaging with the world before I got distracted by life and then wasted my time in Wendy threads. Basically, if you want to access all or even most parts of Walter's skill tree, even outside of the affinities, you need: to confront Walter's old archn-emeses the bees, including the Bee Queen boss fight to find either Lunar Island or Lunar Grotto to find the junk yard set piece to deal with the ruins both for a the new frame, and for a pick/axe to start the Nightmare Werepig fight and then actually win said fight in a way that breaks some of the dreadstone pillars (I include this part because in my experience it's riskier than the standard boss setup where Walter can pew-pew at the boss from afar, here you need to get close enough to bait the werepig into smashing the pillars) to make a bird cage and wait for eggs to rot/survive till your first spring (I know this isn't a major feat but it does still mean that Walter's not getting his hands on gunpowder rounds right out of the gate) to find Glommer to beat Fuelweaver and open the shadow rifts for void wrap to beat Scrappy Werepig if you want mass quantities of shockscrap/to reset the Nightmare Werepig fight None of these are exactly unique goals or things you wouldn't otherwise be doing (other than making the scarecrow for shockscrap), but it's still neat for the skill tree to really push you to progress. Even with Woby you have to survive long enough in each world (not just 1 where you unlock all the insight points) to max her skills. There's three skills tied to exploration (finding setpieces and the lunar island/grotto), and 2.5 to specific non-endgame boss fights (Scrappy is the 0.5). Speaking of shockscrap: I really like that Walter gets a boost to cave life, they've been pretty useful in dealing with depths worms. Also, in terms of getting newer players to push their comfort zone: personally, I am very much on the comparative noob side of things, with <1k hours in the game, and after my first trip to the ruins ended in the death of one world (who could've thought that going in winter might not have been a great idea), I was hesitant to approach them again...until Woby started digging up a hoard of gems that you'd usually need to kill Dragonfly to match and I figured that it would be a shame to never use them. So even the fairly passive dig skill has been a good nudge.

Mysterious box Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 17 minutes ago, Chewabacca said: to find either Lunar Island or Lunar Grotto Since you need to learn glass at the lunar station you can't use the grotto to learn glass rounds but you can go there to get more glass. 18 minutes ago, Chewabacca said: to beat Fuelweaver and open the shadow rifts for void wrap I would also add that the void head piece powers up dreadstone and pure horror rounds when combined with the void wrap. Also you can place your tentacle spot band inside a mimic chest post rift then defeat it to unlock the Possessed slingshot band. But yea I love ho much Walter asks you to explore and interact with the world and progress the story.

SilverSpoon Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 I hope not just plants, but also include Barnacles, Salt Crystals, and Thulecite from the Dust Moth's Tidy Hidey-Hole. Dust Moths need love, and just right walter loves insects.
