If you start plains early you'll have a slight head start for when it actually starts to matter. That and the unvaulted relics from it are going back in the vault at the end of the month.

Is there some secret to Archwing Missions? The controls are awkward as hell. Combine that with an interception mission (which I struggle with at the best of times) for The Limbo Theorem and I’m just getting beaten again and again. There’s too many enemies to keep away from the stations long enough to capture more than two at a time, and trying to fight them is incredibly frustrating. What am I doing wrong here?

Don't play AW interception missions solo if you can avoid it.

One secret is to fuse (put endo into) the damage mods on arch weapons up as otherwise you'll be way behind the curve. Another can be trying different AWs or weapons like the Fluctus. When I solo'd the interception I just completely focused on claiming points, spammed Odonata's 3 when on point and basically ran a circle around the map. Just about kept ahead on % Check if you got the proof fragments despite failing, I forget if they are special. The next stage is to build the quest object, but the quest step will keep pointing at the mission until you do, IIRC. Finally, as ever, ask for help. Many bosses and quests are kind of hard to so solo, and quests are very hard to pub as they only appear for people currently doing them. The limbo excavations felt rough to me, but I did do them with friends which does boost enemy numbers.

Elytron from the dojo labs is pretty good for interceptions, just launch the giant persistent death aoes at the points.

I've been running some solo for Harrow all day and I'm getting Neo relics (which are rotation C on Caracol) after rescuing only four squads of three people or so. Never mind, I never have to run defection ever again. Dark_Swordmaster fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Mar 5, 2018 |

Holy poo poo, the Kohm is a thing of beauty. I love how it ramps up and gets insane in defense/survival misisons, and it's not even fully leveled yet. I hope it is viable long-term. Also, what is a good early sniper for Master 6? I have a vulkar and it seems...nice, but boring.

Did you already grab the free Vectis from the promo code? If not, it's FN6B-8RML-MLH6-GM2N. Some claim it's expired at this point, but worth the try at least.

Sephyr posted:Holy poo poo, the Kohm is a thing of beauty. I love how it ramps up and gets insane in defense/survival misisons, and it's not even fully leveled yet. I hope it is viable long-term. The Kohm is my go-to shotgun. If you're wanting something that can last longer into a mission (that is, doesn't eat all of your ammo in 10 seconds), try putting on tainted shell. My Kohm has a fire rate of 5.5, which hits the sweet spot (for me) of ramping up quickly enough, being controllable enough to carefully meter ammo usage, and dealing plenty of DPS when I need it. Right now, even all of the pellets fall within the aiming circle, so it's useful even at long range. Basically, it trades theoretical paper DPS for real practical DPS by ensuring every single pellet (or at least the vast majority of them) actually hits the target. VVV Says you. I just happen to like using the Kohm at ranges longer than 5 feet.

Removing fire rate from the Kohm is a gun crime.

turn off the TV posted:I actually aim glide almost every time I do any kind of precision platforming. Usually not for the sake of actually hitting anything, but because it reduces vertical movement and allows for more control by slowing you down. Movement gets a lot easier once you have the various combinations of jumps, mid air rolls, kicks and gliding down. Also remember that you can do an air melee, which gets you a slight impulse in the direction you're looking at, and you can also do an air slam, which instantly kills your forward momentum. Air slam is a really useful tool for precision platforming because it can turn an overshoot into a direct landing.

I just did an alert that awarded me 3000 Nano Spores. It was like a gift from heaven at this point in the game for me. I've had a bunch of blueprints waiting on them forever!

It's really worth keeping an eye on the alerts when new, for exactly that reason. The game will only show you the ones you have unlocked the planets for though. This: https://deathsnacks.com/wf/index.html will tell you everything that's currently available. If you see some material you need (plastids most likely) or a mod you don't have, or a Vauban part, etc. somewhere you can't access yet then ask for a 'taxi' in goon chat. Someone can take you there, and will probably help you grab the stuff too if you're not quite up to that planet's level.

That's absolutely true, but word to the wise, please check what your Alert is on the Starmap before you jump in if it's from a planet you've completed. For whatever ungodly reason, the Alert will not state if it's Nightmare Mode or not. Nightmare Mode adds modifiers to a mission that can ramp up the difficulty and catch you off guard. This can mean no shields for the entire mission, for instance. I say that because today alone I ran into two Alerts on Earth, figured "oh nice" and brought whatever frame I just had on, only to realize I was put in with three Excaliburs still using MK1 weapons and I didn't have Oberon to babysit them properly or account for them going down every 30 seconds. We only managed to scrape by just so both times. They really, really ought to add a comment to the Alert itself whether it's Nightmare Mode or not. New players won't know at a glance from the rewards or map (and heck, despite all the useful goon advice I'm still dumb enough not to notice ahead of time, either), so it's an aggravating oversight.

Nightmare modes are all really dumb anyway. They're mostly a "do you have an immortal frame yet" thing.

Ask in clan when you need resources. There's usually someone that'll take you to farm way more than you'd need.

This can mean no shields for the entire mission, for instance. Nightmare alerts are for nightmare mods. If you see an alert for a dual-stat mod (your lethal torrents/blazes/shreds), it's going to be a nightmare mode.

Honestly. The game starts giving (and even requiring!) stuff that uses spores WAY before you get to where you can farm them.

If the alert reward is a nightmare mod (buffs two stats) then it's a nightmare mission. Bring something that can survive without shields.

the alert doesnt show you the mod stats it just gives the mod name so basically you're supposed to wiki every alert before you do it which is pretty sicknasty UI design
