Youll fight in gruesome encounters, building up to a final boss showdown.
Worry not, though.
Hunting Pistol
The Hunting Pistol packs considerable power.
Standard enemies are no match for it.
Meanwhile, stronger enemies and bosses, too, take significant damage from the pistol.
Keep in mind, though, that the Hunting Pistol only fires one shot at a time.
It can quickly become overwhelming for you when facing swarms of enemies.
However, if you perfect your shots, you could make each shot count toward victory.
In any case, the Hunting Pistol proves its worth, especially against non-base foes like shamblers and clickers.
Its also an excellent alternative for conserving ammo for long arms later, when the difficulty spikes.
To make the most of the Hunting Pistol, though, be sure to upgrade its damage stat.
Itll ensure you dish out as much damage as possible.
Afterwards, you could upgrade its stability to take more accurate shots per round.
Bow
No Return will have you on the stealthy or guns-blazing side.
It might take a while, though, with the bow seeming scarce at the Trading Post.
Onward, youll be able to craft arrows that explode on impact.
These come in pretty handy when taking down more formidable enemies and bosses, too.
Keep in mind that the bow is only good at medium- to long-range.
Youll want to remain hidden as you approach enemies and hone your stealth skills to perfection.
The bow performs like a sniper, thinning the herd from a distance.
In cases where enemies swarm on you, feel free to upgrade the draw speed for faster arrow release.
In any case, No Return will constantly push you into close-quarters melee combat.
Heres where the double-barrel shotgun comes in.
Shotguns alone prove efficient when enemies close in on you.
You should have no trouble scooping up the Double-Barrel Shotgun at the Trading Post.
Its relatively straightforward to adapt, with power built into its belly to boot.
Firing the Double-Barrel Shotgun at enemies inflicts significant damage.
It proves perfect for crowd control, thinning the herd in quick succession and causing devastating damage.
Meanwhile, the Double-Barrel Shotgun comes in handy when destroying more powerful enemies and bosses.
you’ve got the option to use it on the Bloaters and Seraphite menaces without a sweat.
Feel free to upgrade its reload speed for even faster destruction of enemies that overwhelm you.
Once equipped, it allows you to inflict high-damage shots at enemies from afar.
Its incredibly accurate; youll hardly miss a target.
Still, No Return tends to string together melee combat encounters that can grow pretty intense.
Feel free to upgrade the bolt-action rifle, prioritizing stability to take steady, more accurate shots.
Fully-Kitted Weapon
Sometimes, youll find a fully-kitted (or maxed-out) weapon at the Trading Post.
Alternatively, you’re able to pick one up as an enemy dead drop.
Either way, a fully-kitted weapon, regardless of the jot down, excels above all else.
Its considerably more powerful, packing the highest damage, stability, reload speed, durability, and more.
Sure, you may need to experiment with them to sync with your playstyle.
Some fully-kitted weapons also prove excellent against specific enemies and at specific times in your run-through.
Any weapon at its basic level hardly compares.
In fact, you want to always fully upgrade any weapon you have, fully maxing out its potential.
Still, any fully-kitted weapon significantly smooths over your playthrough.
You only need to find the perfect strategy to apply them.
