In this series, we\u2019ll give you insight into how SyndiK8\u2019s top operatives utilize nanotechnology to gain enhanced abilities, both through their weapons and with their minds.<\/p>\n<p><i>Raw Data<\/i>\u2019s Early Access build comes with three SyndiK8 heroes: Bishop, Saija, and Boss. Today, we\u2019re going over the loadout for <strong>Bishop, the Gun Cleric<\/strong>, whose dual-pistol-centric gameplay makes him the top choice for new players, as well as a devastating damage dealer overall.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width:100%;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;position:relative;margin:2em 0;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mGJhQ-WUwkE?autoplay=0&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0&#038;q=hd720\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Bishop is a lot more than a basic run-and-gun guy&#8211;he\u2019s a master practitioner of Gun Fu who channels energy through his akimbo pistols, turning any shootout into a ballet of bullets at superhuman speeds.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>(Pistol) Whip It<\/h2>\n<p>Bishop\u2019s starting loadout includes a singular pistol: the powerful Crusader 10mm.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-631\" src=\"https:\/\/survios.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Bishop_CrusaderPistol.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It fires as fast as you can pull the Trigger button, and its slugs pack a serious punch. You\u2019ll always find the Crusader on your dominant hip, with a 15-bullet magazine on the other at the ready for rapid reloads. Use the Grip buttons to grab pistol out of holster; to reload, grab the ammo clip and insert it into the gun.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-646\" src=\"https:\/\/survios.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/BishopReload.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As the game progresses, you\u2019ll have the option to unlock <b>Dual Pistols<\/b>, and why wouldn\u2019t you? A true Gun Fu master always goes akimbo. With Dual Pistols, you gain a second pistol on your non-dominant hip and a second ammo clip on your dominant.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-642\" src=\"https:\/\/survios.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/BishopDualPistols.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another ability Bishop gains in the game is the <b>Proximity Reload<\/b> ability, which skips the whole \u201cinsert the clip\u201d step: you automatically reload the pistol by touching it to your hip or lower back. Precious seconds saved to get you back in the fray!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-645\" src=\"https:\/\/survios.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/BishopProximityReload.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yes, you can whack enemies with it, or throw the pistol at them. The gun excels in close and medium range combat, so go ahead and let those Eden Corp synthetics get nice and close&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-630\" src=\"https:\/\/survios.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Bishop_CrawlerHeadshot.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well, maybe not that close. So: load, aim, shoot&#8211;that\u2019s it, right? Not so fast.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Charrrrggggeeee!<\/h2>\n<p>One of Bishop\u2019s weapon-based abilities is <b>Charged Shot,<\/b> which fires a powerful slug that penetrates nearly any surface and deals deadly piercing damage to multiple assailants. This is the most efficient, effective way to quickly blow a hole in something you don\u2019t want coming too close.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-640\" src=\"https:\/\/survios.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/BishopChargedShot.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A well-aimed Charged Shot can one-shot Hornet Drones and, with careful aim, take out most basic synthetic models. Just hold the Trigger down for a brief period to fully charge your gun before shooting. And, as you can see, a double Charged Shot with dual pistols is super effective.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-641\" src=\"https:\/\/survios.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/BishopDualChargedShot.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Most of <i>Raw Data<\/i>\u2019s abilities have unlockable upgrades, and Charged Shot is no exception.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-643\" src=\"https:\/\/survios.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/BishopFusionChargedShot.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Fusion Charged Shot<\/b> utilizes dual Charged Shots to release an unblockable, unstoppable blast of energy&#8211;just bring the guns together while charging to merge the final shot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>One with the Gun<\/h2>\n<p>Bishop wouldn\u2019t be an elite SyndiK8 operative if all he did was just pepper-spray enemies with bullets. That\u2019s where the nano-enhanced special abilities come into play. These punchy powers can turn the tide in a fight, so keep an eye on their cooldowns on your in-game forearm display; you\u2019ll want them ready should you get overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p>First of these is another sci-fi classic: let\u2019s do the <b>Timewarp<\/b> again! Our take on bullettime slows down time for a few crucial seconds, so you can use the rare gift of more time to do all sorts of actions: set up a Charged Shot, build an extra turret, or&#8211;if the situation is truly dire&#8211;GTFO via Teleshift (available for all heroes).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-647\" src=\"https:\/\/survios.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/BishopTimewarp.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Activate Timewarp by pressing down on the dominant-hand trackpad. You&#8217;ll see the two Ultimate options pop up.

While strength in numbers is usually effective, it meets its downfall when Bishop activates <b>Bulletstorm<\/b>. An automatic fiery barrage of self-replicating nano rounds, Bulletstorm not only delivers a massive amount of damage to anything unfortunate enough to be in its way, but it does so without depleting your ammo. So once the insanity\u2019s over, you can continue to put bullets in whatever\u2019s still left standing. How\u2019s that for efficiency?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-636\" src=\"https:\/\/survios.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/BishopBulletstorm.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Activate Timewarp by pressing down on the dominant-hand trackpad.

It never hurts to have some firepower, and when Bishop pairs up his abilities, the results&#8211;heaps of scrap where synthetics once stood&#8211;speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-634\" src=\"https:\/\/survios.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Skyport_TeleportHeadshot.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" \/><br \/>\nWhen you\u2019ve gotten the hang of Bishop\u2019s abilities, try these combos for deadly results:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Timewarp + Teleshift: get into the perfect position to line up that fatal headshot<\/li>\n<li>Timewarp + Bulletstorm: slow down time and mow down enemies like they\u2019re standing still<\/li>\n<li>Timewarp + Charged Shot: excellent for one-shotting crawlers or exploders<\/li>\n<li>Charged Shot + Teleshift: charge up your shot, then teleport to an enemy to unleash it at close range (and damage any enemies behind it)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Have fun with your first takes on Gun Fu!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-644\" src=\"https:\/\/survios.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/BishopGunTricks.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Oh, and of course you can do gun tricks.
