NARAKA: BLADEPOINT - Remove Ghosting and increase performance from DLSS

 So I started this game and noticed the bad ghosting on quality mode of DLSS. I am aware of a neat upgrade lately and wanted to share it with you.


Sometime ago, Rainbow Six Siege got a DLSS 2.2 implementation. People have been using that modifed file for other games. It works with Metro for example. I replaced the file and the ghosting was eliminated.


Steps:

  1. Download the file from https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-dll/ (NVIDIA DLSS DLL 2.2.16)
  2. Take this file (dll file) and replace it the one in your Naraka: Bladepoint install location (Iadvise backing up the original file just in case)

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT - Cultivation Guide

 A little help about Cultivation of character in game

Cultivation Guide

Regarding Cultivation in the game, depending on the mission that requires us to play in survival mode, there are a number of tasks we can do in Bloodbath mode.

There is a small bug in Viper Ning's Cultivation when you reach Master and want to upgrade to the next but when you follow the instructions of the mission to use Flamebringers, there is no progress, this error is written by the game developer. wrong or wrong translation, to do that mission you can enter Bloodbath map minefield or play in survival mode

As for Bloodbath mode, each time you play you will be randomly assigned a different map, so you need to exit and find the match again and again until you find that mine map.

Of course it's in Morus's blessing and you have to risk it to get it.

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT - Beginner's Guide

 A guide aimed at those whom have completed the tutorial but are then not sure how to begin actually playing and improving

Introduction

Naraka Bladepoint is a hack and slash battle royale game that is somewhat of a child between Sekiro and Fortnite. In this game you will be transported to an island with 60 other combatants where you will have to loot up, prepare for battle and avoid the enclosing shadow to survive. This guide will assume you have completed the basic and advanced tutorials.

Movement

The most important thing you will want to learn in this game is movement. You can run by holding the dodge button either from standing or coming out of a dodge. You can use the dodge to cancel many things such as charging your regular attacks into a blue focus attack. As these are the only attacks that can be parried it is a good option to use them as bait to open your opponent for free attacks.


Whilst running you can slide which will allow you to dodge under horizontal attacks but you can cancel this early with a quick jump. This will allow you to resume running but also allow you to move faster than running if you chain these in rapid succession. This slide step will be the first thing you want to master.


Once you have a weapon you can perform a focus attack on lmb or rmb from running but then dodge out of this, if holding the dodge you will resume running. Chaining these together will allow you to move faster than the slide cancel. This weapon slide cancel will be the second thing you want to master. Once you have both movement techs down you will want to combine these together to move around the battlefield as fast as possible.


With both movement techs combined you will then be able to add grappling hooks. You can attack at the end of a grapple to keep your momentum to go further than your target, jump to initiate a second grapple or crouch to land early. You can even cancel aerial attacks with crouch to further chain attacks and not overshoot your opponent.


With the previous three movement methods down the last thing you will want to learn is how to rapidly climb and launch from surfaces. Whilst travelling up you can perform a quick LMB to climb in rapid succession or hold the attack to launch yourself in the direction you are facing.

Attacks

There are three types of attacks in Naraka bladepoint. Regular attacks and focus attacks are the two that I will talk about here. There are also gold attacks which work like focus attacks however these cannot be parried.


Regular attacks are your normal lmb or rmb attacks that you will use to attack your opponent. They will clash with other regular attacks and cannot be parried. Focus attacks are blue aura attacks which will normally knock your opponent down and can be parried. These occur as either the 3rd attack in the standard chain (second on greatsword) or when you hold lmb or rmb. You will mostly only want to use a focus attack to clash with another focus attack, to attack through a normal attack or to catch your opponent as they come out of a dodge. You never want to use a focus attack unless your opponent is in an action where they cannot parry.


Parrying is when you press lmb and rmb together. This can be chained much faster than the instant parry option so we will prefer to use this. Most bad players will always go for the standard 3 hit chains so their third hit will be a free parry and a great opportunity for you to disarm then possibly kill your opponent.


Whilst attacking you will want to focus mainly to normal light attacks. You can jump or crouch after your 2nd (1st on greatsword) hits to extend these attack chains to make your own combos. You also get special lmb and rmb attacks from crouch and jump to add further to your combos. Adding in grapples or certain abilities can allow you to further extend these chains. Each weapon has a unique set of high damage custom combos that can be used but this is not within the scope of this guide.

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT - Luck Talents Guide

I use a lot of luck talents, so I decided to test it out. Here are the results.

Methodology

Basically, I went around with my 1500 luck (max is 1800) and tallied how many troves of each type I opened, and how many epics/legendaries I got from it. Then I repeated that, but without any luck talents. Finally, I took it, made a spreadsheet and applied some statistics.

Results

I continued collecting results until I got a 95% confidence interval of about 5%. That means the number I have should be within 5 percent of the actual drop rate. If I took a 100 of the same size samples, then 95 of those would be within that five percent. I spent more time however on the sample with luck, as you will soon see.


From an Orange Trove, with 1500 luck,

  • Chance to get an epic or better item: ~50%.
  • Chance to get a legendary item: ~12%.


From an Green Trove, with 1500 luck,

  • Chance to get an epic or better item: ~50%.
  • Chance to get a legendary item: ~50%.


From an Blue Trove, with 1500 luck,

  1. Chance to get an epic or better item: ~15%.
  2. Chance to get a legendary item: ~1%.


In total, I opened about 500 troves with 1500 luck.


Within twenty orange troves with 0 luck, I began to have a lot of doubts. Out of those 20 troves, I got 55% epic, and 30% legendary. That's a combined epic or better chance of 85%. Now obviously, I decided to apply some statistics. If the real chance of getting an epic or higher level item was 55% (max with confidence interval), then the chance of getting an 85% drop rate (or higher) with a sample of twenty would be <1%.


That being the case, I ended the experiment there. For orange troves, adding luck does not make you luckier.


HOWEVER:

It appears that adding luck more accurately moves luck. Although I haven't collected enough data to be able to fully confirm this, and I'm not planning on doing so, it appears that when you have more luck blue troves are significantly more likely to drop epic quality gear. Again though, I don't have a big enough sample to confirm this. If true, adding luck would be a decently good play style for those who choose not to spawn in high resource areas as it considerably increases the odds of you being well geared early on. And while I wasn't tracking it, it also appears to increase the chances of rare items appearing.

Conclusion

Adding luck likely increases chance of getting good gear (rare/epic) from lower end troves, at the cost of your chances of getting high end gear (epic/legendary) from high end troves (orange/green).

Back 4 Blood - Basics, Decks and Team Work Guide

 Basics



1: When to run and when to fight. There are many audio cues at points in the campaign which indicate that haste is imperative. The maps are not designed to worry about killing every last zombie standing in a corner. Most times hanging around or dawdling equals death and some areas have endless zombies. Remember only one person needs to make it to the safe room to pass the level. (if it comes to that haha)


2: Avoidable problems. Nine times out of ten you don't need to fight the Ogre. Simply save your ammo and health and go around it. Run away from the fat exploding ones before you shoot them. The bile hurts. Turning around and sprinting is always better than backpedaling while you try and reload and get crushed or snatched by a tallboy.


3: Healing. If your team mates are repeatedly calling out "health cabinet here", it likely means you are injured. Check your health bar and if it's you. Look for the white health icon marker thingy, go to the red cabinet and heal yourself. Health cabinets are about the only thing that cure trauma damage effectively. (when your health bar is dark red and cant be fixed with bandages and such)


4: Weapon rarity. The rarity levels of weapons/attachments go white, green, blue, purple, orange. Almost always better to trade up to the next rarity level when found along the act. Try to avoid weapons with the red broken attachments unless a replacement attachment is immediately available. If you are nearing the end of the act with white weapons, you did something wrong.


5: Alarms. Doors that say Authorized Personnel Only, birds and police cars are alarms that call a horde. The doors can be opened without setting off the alarm with a tool kit. Birds can be killed without setting them off with a grenade/Molotov or snuck past. Don't shoot the police cars, better to go melee than to set off the alarm. Accidents do happen, but try not to set these "alarms" off. They are bad news.

Decks



1: A deck for every job. It's good to have many saved decks with different purposes. Melee, shotgun, rifleman, team medic, copper collector, mechanic. When joining a run you may not get the character you wanted or may be joining a team already running 3 shotguns for some stupid reason. It's nice to have a deck to choose that is helpful to the present situation. One deck definitely does not have you covered.


2: A focused deck is a good deck. Sure a bit of everything sounds good, but focusing your deck on a central theme or main skill makes is far more effective. If you want to survive, you're going to need a well oiled, focused deck that greatly increases a specific skill or two.


3: Turning negatives into positives. Cards with a negative affect can also have much higher positive effects. Try applying these cards in builds where the negative doesn't matter. For example a reduced ammo capacity doesn't matter so much on a melee focused build. Or aiming down the sights isn't needed when using a shotgun/smg build. Stack these when possible, 3 cards that take away your ability to aim down the sights still only take the ability away once.


4: If you aren't nearly invulnerable on recruit. You're doing something wrong with your deck build. There are many good guides with more than reasonable deck builds available on Steam, so I wont get into all that. But if you cant make it through the first or second act on recruit, either your deck is terrible or you got three terrible players and couldn't drag them through. haha.


5: Corruption cards. Always pick the ones the give bonus copper and such or the ones that say Finale (especially on recruit). They have the least negative impact/most reward. If you keep picking the ones with skulls, that's why you are dying or getting pounced by a million sleepers.

Team Work



1: Follow the leader. If someone has beaten the campaign and clearly knows what to do, follow them and listen to their advice. Tons of people of have made it through the campaign now and you can too.


2: Stick together. Do not get too far behind or ahead. One special infected with a grab move can end you. You don't need to search every single room, search less if everyone is well supplied and in good health, more if you're hurt and out of grenades. Letting people know you need to stop to heal or are in need of ammo is a good thing. The longer you take to get through a map, the more times you will ultimately be attacked and expend health and ammo.


3: Weapon Variety. Try not to have your entire team running shotguns, smgs ect. Creates ammo problems and reduces team effectiveness. Let your rifleman/sniper pick off the special infected from afar while your melee/shotgunner keeps the waves of commons at bay.


4: Communication. A great team (one that can make it through veteran and above) plays together regularly and all use mics. Call outs can save you from special infected and promote a generally well equipped team. Discussing what decks everyone will be using in advance is also an advantage.


5: Specialists. A good team will be players that have diverse specialization between them. Say Holly on a melee build, Evangelo on a shotgun build, Doc on a medic build with a minor in smg/rifle and Hoffman on a mechanic/team support build with a minor in rifle/sniper. Holly and Evangelo will lead and handle the majority of common infected, while Doc and Hoffman focus on special infected from the rear. Doesn't necessarily have to be exactly that, but you get the idea. A team like this has a way better chance of surviving.
