Beck, Jake & Firearms

[SlippyToasterTrooper_UK]

I wasn't too taken with Jake due to only having Quick Rain but Beck was another story due to having much more firearms arround the point you get him.

I'm thinking Beck might have a place in the party for a while. I'm even contemplating giving him the boots. A good idea or crazy idea?

Of course his use is limited by his weapons. So, do any shops actually sell Firearms?

I used him some chapters and I could barely hit anything because of his slow movement, so giving him the boots isn't a bad idea if you're going to use him until the end of the game. Be sure to give him Jake's Quick Rain (I think the Fire Gun has lost his effectiveness against flying units), so that he can easily kill Pegasus Knights and do some serious damages to the Dragon Knights.

I don't think I've seen any shop selling them (don't take my word on this though) but some ennemies drop them.

There's some for sale in Chapter 22.

Looks like my plans of having Chainey and Beck rain down a barrage of shots (Chainey will copy movement boosts so two 6 movement shooters) will have to be held back until post Chpater 22 (I'll be lucky if Beck's current equipment will last that long).

Beck with 6 movement is fairly nice as he has no problems keeping up with the army while targets shouldn't be a problem due to such massive range. Still, I hope his effectiveness doesn't plummet...

I didn't see any for sale in Chapter 22 >.>  I would've bought a few for forging, it possible.  I ended up using only 12 people, so I dragged Chiki, Beck, and Lawrence around the final chapters just to have a full roster.  Beck helped out--not a lot, but he did.  His best was Chapter 13, as he could take out the other Shooters in a single blow, and Chapter 25, where if he hit one of the staff users in Medeus's chamber, Gato/Maric could finish them off with a Worm~

What mode were you playing? I definitely saw them in Normal mode and I can see them in the scripting files : o

For further proof, they are there as VASM said:


I guess I might at well ask, though: do store inventories change between difficulty modes?

[Cold Popcorn]

I don't think so. I'm up to chapter 23 H1 and I haven't noticed any differences. I've used Jake in both my playthroughs and have never managed to run out his weapons completely. With the Elephant and Stone he can take out pesky Reserve staff users.

Is Chapter 22 the one with Minerva's brother?

... No wonder I didn't see them then.  I think I remember wanting to check out those shops, but for some reason, I sent everyone the opposite path >.>
