VLine . And the Stony Point line . <| sep |> I been out for a while and when I came back I got a weird scene putting me out of cryo very sci fi like . That ' s the beginning of Episode 4 ' s story , which starts about 2 ? years after the end of Episode 3 . The game added so many new things it ' s kinda hard to navigate through all the new content . How long have you been gone for ? These are the new things in EP 4 alone that come to mind right now New class Summoner . Collection Filescollectionfileguide New Type W e a p o n stypeweapongrindingsystem Gathering and Skill Ringsgatheringminiguide . 3 Button Type command set . This makes all weapons behave like RiflesLaunchers and TATK weapons used to , while adding extra PA slots 45 slots total per palette now . You no longer need to count hits to use specific PAs you can use the PA you want whenever you want . Make sure you enable this asap , as there is no reason to not use this , and the sooner you get used to it , the better . Bunch of new PA and Tech customizations . The Matterboard system has been replaced by the Storyboard . You no longer need to hunt for drops and events in various areas . It can all be done from the Bridge area of the lobby the Bridge can be accessed through the Quick Menu . New areas Tokyo , Las Vegas , and Ultimate Amduscia . You need to advance the EP 4 story up to the first fight in the storyboard to be able to enter Tokyo , and you need Tokyo to unlock Vegas . Bonus Quests When you do featured quests and achieve a rank A or higher on them , you get a gift box at the end . These boxes can include keys for the Bonus Quests . These quests give a lot of EXP can get over 3 m EXP in a single run of Tokyo Gold bonus quest ! . Additionally , the Tokyo Bonus Quests have a very high drop rate of Saiki units when you ' re in the lv 6070 range , while Magatsu Bonus Quests have a very high drop rate of Brisa units when you ' re in the same level range . New solo Extreme Quests . Expert Blocks . You are now required to complete the Solo XQ Heaven and Hell floors 15 in at least one character to be able to enter blocks 19 . 12 units now exist , and they let you fuse them with those skill rings mentioned above . These units can be gotten in Ultimate Amduscia . A ton of new weapons . 13 weapons are the norm now , with 14 weapons debuting next month . That ' s about all I can think of right now . There ' s more stuff , of course , but those are the basic things you should know . are there any noob traps to watch out for ? Some of the skill rings are absolute garbage and waste of resources . Including , but not limited to LKatana Gear Guard gear lasts like 5 seconds tops when activated this way LShort Combat I don ' t see this being useful ever LAnother Launcher Mode raises dmg and aoe of attacks , but makes it friggin impossible to actually hit anythingAlso , the set bonuses of 12 are garbage , so it ' s not worth using a full set of 12 units . You ' re better off mix and matching one 12 unit with a 2 piece set of 11 units . For example Ideal RearLeg with Gix Arm . Austere RearArm with Ray Leg .
