If you listen closely, the static sound from the intro actually continues throughout the rest of the song on every 2nd, 3rd and 4th drumbeat, in perfect sync. A subtle reminder that the world is crumbling around you, perhaps?
@Farnoreth You are correct. A banjo doesn't have that much sustain. I dont think its a steel guitar though. I think it could be someone playing guitar with a slide
I love how every single person's is different. I personally use Brusher Pike and Calamity Cannon - let's me get in, stab those assholes from a distance, and fire main cannon at long distance. I feel like a ducking and rollin ninja when I use them - great work by the developers, there.
I swear, I want to learn to play the banjo just so I can play the banjo part of this song. I probably wouldn't use that training for anything else, but it would be worth it.
a lot of people argue about which weapons work the best in this game, why not just use what you like? I use pistols with all damage / armor penetration / ricochet shots and the sniper rifle with extra aim speed, reload speed, movement speed, and splash damage (using it like a shotgun in close quarters or getting ranged power shots when I need to) and I can rock it with all 10 tributes evoked. I'm sure plenty of others use completely different setups with success as well.
@WinAFreeAppleIPod I use my beloved Fire Bellows on everything, and I use either the Calamity Cannon or pistols to back it up at range. Doesn't matter WHAT it is, the Bellows are going through it.
Once you unlock the portal special ability, enemies become irrelevant. With five or six of those out on the kids dream, and five idols on, I barely had time to notice an enemy was there before it got shredded. A maxed repeater and hammer took care of anything else that slipped through. I'll have to try Zia's with 10 idols on.
Unless you have all ten idols evoked :P I have to stick with repeater and flame bellows with werewhiskey and leachade in my posession to make it through a new game plus like that.
a max tier repeater is a nasty thing ( full firing rate and ammo upgrades + homing shots) you empty the entire clip in half a sec and all those shots ALL of them find a target
If never seen a more brilliant combo of the electric guitar and the banjo..they worked so well together in this song! its so harmonious XD. bravo! *abuses the like button and the replay button*
Brusher's pike is my melee weapon of choice (with a convenient ranged attack!). Probably Fang Repeater, Galleon mortor, or Army Carbine as my ranged weapon (All upgraded to max, I managed to finish them all off by my third core in new game plus, farming the 3 dreams with idols on)
Now giant peckers + all idols = WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
It regenerates, is invincible half the time (In which it regens half the health), it attacks every 1.5 seconds, it deals about 30% of your health damage.
Ain't nothin' better than a pair-o-duelling pistols an' a war machete.
