I don't know, I've just strapped a pair of jackhammers to the Fencer and taken on the first Quadruped Foretress. Did you know that as well as Hectors, the flying drones are also sadly deficient in Vitamin Fist? Bounding into the air on wings of fire to punch aircraft in the face is totally worth it.

They are not, however, deficient in explosion juggling. Just did the mission where there are nothing but Hectors on Inferno in the city and holy poo poo they are annoying when they start juggling you with explosions. Like seriously, they do piddly damage but they can keep hit-juggling you to oblivion.

The only kind of Hector I'm ever really afraid of is the ones with those loving chainguns. When they get interested in you there isn't much you can do to evade it.

Sure, my med-range lightning cannon is an absolute murder machine but does not have enough style points. The real question we need to be asking is why the Wing Diver can't hold this death machine sideways

For example, your next upgrade after the chainsaw doesn't quite cut it is the LARG-W3, named for it's three pronged fire. Basically anything in your field of view is going to be cut down!

It usually isn't the Hector I'm shooting that causes the problems, but the ones next to/to his side who light me up while I'm busy killing one. Some of this is that a lot of my experiences with Hectors are with only two players in MP up until now, where they have like 4x as much health as in single player. In single player I don't have any issues with them.

Any smart computer people in this thread?

Miscellaneous comments: ALIEN4LEGTANK301_AI.BAT: set_generator line might be the spawner setup. If you changed app:/object/Ufo301.sgo to something else, you could have it drop other things. The numbers are probably how many to drop and a timer. If you can replace this file and make it work, I suggest looking up the path to the ALIENT4LEGTANK and have it drop more of itself.  2PLAYER.BAT: "REM set_invincible" if you removed the REM, the players would probably be invincible. player line is probably spawn coordinates in both.

Stage 96: Demon Army online is an absolutely murderous difficulty jump. Quite literally starting the mission covered in a legion of those bastard upgraded drones with the bullshit stunlock lasers and being given roughly 20 seconds to kill all of them before infinity ants/spiders/bees drown you while being bombarded by blue hectors that are also marching towards you and oh here are more drones is the first I've actually become frustrated at the game. My friends and I(Air Raider, Fencer, Ranger, Wing Diver/Ranger) are getting overwhelmed by the initial waves before we even start working on the hives. Seriously, on Hard with 2.2k armor as an Air Raider I'm nearly dying before my vehicle even arrives, and by the time the vehicle arrives I'm up to my rear end in a top hat in bugs that kill any vehicle I bring instantly anyway.

You can put those out to keep the insects at bay just a little longer to give you more time to deal with the drones.

Probably the hardest mission in the game, you need some good teamwork. Aggro 1 nest at a time so you don't get overwhelmed, cause once you attack the ant hills in the middle you get a bunch of gold/silver bugs to deal with. I always found it easiest to take out the drones and hectors first, then the nests left to right

You'll need some decent AA for the drones, their lasers are almost impossible to get away from. And that's not even the hardest part of that mission either. You might have to switch difficulties to stock up on weapons and armor

Always be rolling with those laser drones if you're Air Raider and Ranger. I-Frames from that are too good and they can't keep up with their tracking. You'll also want precision bombing with your Support slot so you don't pull aggro from the other nests.

I'm not real familiar with hacking/modding games from zero but if anyone is and knows their stuff, running strings on the executable looks to me like the binary isn't stripped of symbols. Looking to see if maybe there's a command line option to execute those batch files.

The loading screen of a Ranger ragdolling through a fence with the text explaining that EDF soldiers train to have bodies as tough as steel which is why they can roll through obstacles made me laugh way too hard. e. Also the very confused Air Raider with a tank on a roof.

When you're shoving explosions up an ant's mouth and flying away, you gotta have a made of pure steel.

I just lost my save file. When I exited the game, I got a blue screen of death with a REFERENCE_BY_POINTER error, and the next time I started up EDF it said my save was corrupted. I guess I could start over as Fencer instead of Air Raider, but I don't know how to prevent that from happening again.

Does the Air Raider get any non-explosive guns? I like playing him, but solo if any insect grabs me it's game over since I can't kill it without blowing myself up.

Limpet Splendors aren't really explosive and even if you get tagged with a couple shards, they don't really hurt like they do giant bugs.

To add to that, Limpet snipers are generally safe if you place your shots well, since they have such a small AOE. Flipside, if you don't place your shots well, you one shot yourself. That said, the real way to break out of a bug grab as Air Raider is to call in Whale
