#MADNESS PROJECT NEXUS 2 TAC BAR HOW TO#

And then one day they simply let you walk out of the facility where you were constructed. You were the plaything of countless unscrupulous experiments, which left you with scars, mental instability, and a bubbling hatred for your tormentors. You were born in a test tube, grown in a vat, and spent most of your life surrounded by glass and cryo-fluid.

Stealth Expert: As he's deliberately dressed as a dude in a suit who resembles all the other similarly suited mooks in Nevada, in infiltration-based levels enemies will only attack him once they catch him being violent, giving him chances to do stealth takedowns and set up for a fight.

Fragile Speedster: Enforced by his negative passive, which decreases his encumbrance capacity by 35%, meaning you're forced to wear less protective equipment, or none at all.

He gets a 15% increase to damage dealt with pistols. Today, you're disguising your involvement in this new 'Enmeshment Program' endeavor by going undercover as a transfer from another department. It's not all martinis and casinos though if people knew the work you've done, they would curl into little balls of horror and despair. There are only a few of them that anyone knows about, but those are not the ones to which you belong.

You're employed by one of Nevada's shadowy Agencies.

#MADNESS PROJECT NEXUS 2 TAC BAR HOW TO#

You Have Researched Breathing: The Athletic's core skill, wherein your character effectively has to learn how to get up after falling over, learn how to get up after intentionally falling over, and learn how to run.

Later, it's revealed that you, the player, are actually the First of the G01, and that your duty is to prevent Nevada from falling to ruin due to the Machine. However, it's implied that the First of the G01 would appear as well, and when the time came he would help with fixing the Machine.

Really 700 Years Old: After the first imprint, you can snoop through Doc's computer files to find out about information about Generation 01, which are the first Generation of Nevadeans, and how they are implied to have a strong connection to the world of Nevada.

Thanks to some connections you get through Bossman and the Sleepwalker Experiment pod he kept, things pick up speed very fast.

Rags to Riches: His goal, as given by Doc, is to start a PMC empire using nothing but a near-abandoned building and his own two fists.

Private Military Contractors: He's fine doing just about any job imaginable as long as it involves shooting/stabbing/punching guys.

This is done to provide a cover identity so the Machine doesn't find him until it's too late for it to interfere with the Enmeshment.

Multiple-Choice Past: Literally, as while every character option is the same guy, the choices reflect what past he had before arriving in Nevada.

He and Doc retain their knowledge of events from the past loop, pre-empting questions and orders out of impatience.

'Groundhog Day' Loop: Finding the Mandatus and defeating the final boss causes him to wake back up on the operating table before his Identity is set by Doc, starting the whole adventure all over again.

Maxing the Core Skill out changes the combat dodge into seamless flips, his Tac Bar dodges are calm and regular, and makes his sprint twice as fast, reflecting that he's at peak form and his reflexes are accordingly inhuman.

Taking the Core Skill for this allows you to recover from combat dives faster, maintain proper running form, and allow for the smaller shifts and adjustments that the TAC Bar requires. When first unlocked, the Tac Bar activating has his dodges look purely accidental and terrified (fair enough, he's being shot at).

Athletics, being tied to dodging, running, and your TAC Bar, means that the animations starting out have your character remain flat on his stomach for agonizingly long amounts of time after a combat dodge (and the 'dodge' looks more like he tripped), running with their hands flailing around in a panic, and having absolutely zero tactical sense.

After taking the first Core Skill, it's specifically noted he starts holding them upright, and gains the ability to fine-tune his aim.

Gun Handling animations start out with your character holding pistols sideways, and awkwardly clutching two-handed ones.

His unarmed stance changes to reflect that he has martial arts training, and he wields melee weapons with a more confident stance. After taking the first Core Skills for both, this wind-up essentially vanishes and his blocks are all business. Unarmed and Melee animations have a sizable delay starting out as the player character balances himself before each swing, and attempting to block causes him to put his hands up in a panic.Character Development: As you level up his Core skills, his animations change to reflect his experience.In GeneralTropes applying to all versions of the character:
