You won't get the best guns til endgame levels but since you can get all previous weapons in a given drop it can take a while to get inferno guns.

Yeah, the lower mission drops of higher difficulties are the higher mission drops from the previous difficulty. There's definitely overlap.

And every now and then an Inferno boss decides to drop you a Mirage Zero and Thunder Sniper Prototype just to be an rear end in a top hat.

Wing Divers are basically designed to give everyone else weapon envy. Until the 1000000 damage derp guns for beating every stage on Inferno show up you won't see a single gun stronger than a Rapier of similar level and very few guns clear tunnels as quickly and safely as the Thunder Bow series.

That's why, unless you're going for the super high end Inferno-only poo poo, you should play on Hardest. I think Inferno has the entire loot table to drop poo poo from, while Hardest gets just high level poo poo.

I'd join you but I just spent the last few days powering through the online campaign on hard so I don't want to re-do it quite yet. If anyone wants to play some midrange Hard missions (I think I'm up to like level 40) post here or message gimea rubdown through the metatag, I'll probably be on for a few hours too.

RIP short lived goonroom, we just didn't have what it took. I thought I'd be able to pull through and solo it or eventually revive one of you during that last run, so close.

At this point, I'm pretty sure that insurance companies are classifying EDF-related damages as Acts of God.

"Allstate- You're in good hands, unless the EDF get deployed to your city, in which case you're on your own."

Let's be honest, insurance was going to gently caress people over whether it was GIANT INSECTS or EDF. I mean it's particularly Chaotic in the year 2025 where Obama has destroyed health insurance forever because of universal medical armor plating that made every civilian resistant to all conventional weaponry.

Son, you be stupid. No.

Also, level 13 is so chaotic. The first time we made the mistake of not bringing anyone with long range with the exception of my wing diver sniper rifle that drained the entire energy bar with each shot. (Everyone else was an air raider). Was crazy with people dying and fleeing to find another health pack. I think we actually cheered when the first transport ship went down cause it meant finally a relief in the constant wave of ants.

Thank you.

If this were a PGS thread, I'd be all 'sure, here you go guys.' But it isn't, so I won't. I don't actually have a problem checking in every day on it, I'm just talking poo poo about it cause I had a bad day in the cold.

Do some weapons have a lower percentage drop chance than others, or is it random? It feels odd that I'm getting lots of duplicates, but that could be confirmation bias.

Also, on PS3, playing splitscreen will give you weapon drops for both classes you and your friend are playing as, so if you'd like to 'level up' a class without actually playing it, you can start a splitscreen game and just play as a class you already have good guns for, leaving P2 to die at the spawn, and when you beat the mission you will probably get some drops for that class. This is great if you have a high-level Ranger but, say, would like to play Fencer at some point in the future and not be worthless.

Well, if you have almost all the weapons you can get at that level for that character class, of course it's gonna mostly drop weapons you already have. It's a signal that you should move up to another stage, or choose another character class.

So, yeah, the red flyers?

gently caress them. How in the hell do you kill 'em on difficulties above normal?

I ended up randomly teaming up with Gyoru and we just kept getting stomped even as a 4 man team on that map where there's like only 10 of them.

When it was only me and Gyoru left, we switched it to normal and somehow the only answer I had left to these fuckers was firing as many Air Tortoise missiles as I could at them while rolling for my life.

My answer to that and every tough enemy has always seemed to be high powered sniper rifles.

Yeah, you'd think that wouldn't work because of how fast they move, but there's always a point where the pause to turn around, and I just nail them then. Sure the red flyers are HP sinks, but just be sure to bring a high damage gun, I suppose.
