I'm in the 2nd chapter part 3 as of this writing, so if you're not there, don't read the spoilers. You've been warned.
I'm at the point where I got a note where it says I have two paths. One says its got a lot of Ganados (The barely human types) and another El Gigante (big mother trucker). I've got enough Pistol ammo to last a while, but short on shotgun ammo. Any suggestions?
Also, if anyone wants to post what weapons they use, tatics (That's some smart A.I) etc, go for it.
I use the the standard handgun, all qualities level 2, same with shotgun. I'm too chicken to spend cash on any other weapons. Plus, they seem to work fine for me. Though I'd to like hear other combinations (Any one activlely use the Combat knife lol...)

As for tactics, I found that once the "hatchling" (or whatever you call it) breaks out of its back, one regular grenade is enough to stun him and make him heel over. Then you can run up its leg onto its back and start slicing like there's no tomorrow.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tips. I chose the path with the Ganados since I could pick them off, and it worked reasonably well. I got the Rifle with scope just in time for the lift sequence, and relished picking them off before they could get a chance to throw their axes.
So there is a pratical use for the knife? I gotta try it out next time.

I'm at the castle, just after beating the 'big cheese' (I'm probably going relatively slower than other PGC'ers) and am just curious about ideal weapon setups. I cashed in my handgun for the blacktail, but kept the first shotgun and rifle w/scope. Anybody have success with the TMP? I found it too weak in my case, since I use the shotgun and grenades for massive mobs, and use the handgun for a couple coming through a door.

I wouldn't upgrade the shotgun - wait until you can get the riot gun and spend your money upgrading that.
For the pistol, I got the Red9 and upgraded the firepower and clip capacity a few times. I'm not sure if it's best, but it's still SERIOUS BUSINESS! Right now the firepower is like 2 or 2.5 and there are 15 bullets in the clip (plus, where I'm at, I have about 200 bullets in my inventory).

Yeah, the Red9 and Blacktail go 1-2 respectively. Red9's got power, while Blacktail is quicker on the draw. Choices...
anyone have fun with mines? They seem a bit underpowered if you ask me, but I haven't tried them yet. Its probably useful for advanced tatics?

After a few upgrades some hundred cultists later I got the large attache case, and moved my inventory accordingly. The thing is, I feel as if I haven't gained lot of space. Am I slob? Here's how mine is arranged:
Top Left
Handgun
Rest of top row
Health items and ammo, in default position
Top Right
Rifle scope, vertical position
Sort of middle, directly under handgun
Shotgun and grenades
Bottom
Rifle
The rest of the rows are empty, save for excess ammo and health.
Any ideal inventory setups?
