I noticed my game steadily getting more pixelated while playing Equinox and figured out that the maim effect was somehow persisting every time I recasted it. This was after like 20x.

I think my gfx card might be dying. The red stuff only appeared after I casted Maim a few more times. Here's what it looks like without HDR though:

I was running a perma-Maim Equinox earlier tonight and never saw anything like that. I think that's just your video card begging for death, sorry bro.

Related, Clem is my new favorite NPC and i take back every bad thing I said about the twin grakata :allears:

So is the Clem Clone or its blueprint reusable? If not I'm never gonna be able to bring myself to use it. :ohdear:

Get your brakk parts now; it will not last.

Has anyone not done the first mission yet? The only Brakk part I need spawns from the G3 member there, and I only found out about this after completing it.

Well, we get specter BP's from rescue, maybe it will be a reward for Uranus rescues at some point. I can't imagine even DE going "Welp, we made a special model for a specter, made an entire quest around him (with a new over-watch dude to boot), and gave out a finite number of BPs of said specter, we're done here!"

I also discovered that Uranus Sab caches can spawn underwater, even in those little dead-end ponds.

Hopefully this alert means that corpus will get Hyena and bursa's in regular missions akin to heavy gunners and bombards. Corpus desperately need some enemy variation.

I legit like the bursas. They're honestly pretty cool enemies.

Yeah the bursas are a cool enemy. The event related to them was poo poo, though. It was sort of a poor introduction.

edit: I'm guessing it's pretty likely the wraith twin vipers will not come pre-potatoed since that's what they did last time when they gave out potatoes before the weapon.

double edit: Are they a worthwhile weapon?

They are great as long as you only intend to kill maybe three or four things with them per run

They actually do, or at least once did, have the best burst DPS in the game, they just had terrible sustained DPS. It was even worse when you factored in that it wasn't just reload time, that there was no way to use them full time against anything, even on short missions, with their hilariously bad ammo efficiency.

Basically it's a gimmick weapon that you shouldn't feel too bad about missing if they make them too hard to get this time around.

-MOST AMMUNITION EXPENDED ON CIVILIANS 2015-PRESENT
-WORST KDR VS CIVILIANS 2015-PRESENT

Twin Vipers/Wraith Twin Vipers really need the same ammo pool size as Twin Grakata to be good for more than killing like six enemies per mission.

Anything you shoot will die, but due to the fire rate and ammo economy in general you can expect to only get one kill per reload.

Sounds like it's not even that great as a just for fun weapon if it runs out of ammo that fast. Oh well. More mastery to work my way to 12 for the sancti tigris.

Fixed the G3 dropping unintentional items when killed in the Man of Few Words Quest. Some scenarios where the G3 are guaranteed to spawn have us removing their drops, this is meant to be one of them.
Called it :toot: No brakk parts allowed. And no mention of the Clem Clone blueprints being made available or reusable; "gently caress you for wanting an actually cool NPC Specter", I guess.

"Unintentional items" come the gently caress on this is the update after you made and indeed it's a fix for a quest based off a fan meme, admitting what the items were (especially when most players know anyway) is not going to make people think you're unprofessional and stop giving you plat.

I am super, super glad I spent most of last night grinding out the parts. Thank god my Nekros just came out of the oven.

Is there a single quest where DE hasn't overlooked some hilariously obvious exploit before pushing to live? Last time it was the infinite resource smorgasboard, now it's Brakk Parts "unintentional items" dropping freely.

You can usually get away without potatoing a melee weapon since slotting a stance will give you more points.
