That island is one of my favorite landing spots since hardly anyone goes there, it's usually got 2-3 chests, loads of wood to farm in safety, it's near the other island that has a plane, and it's got a hidden rift under the hut's floorboards.

That one central building in tilted that gets destroyed every season got built up some more, the dungeons in polar peak melted a bit, and that island off the southwest coast of the map has some kind of ice block with a health bar going down.

Oh and of course the block changed again, apparently it's a llama/dragon?

The iceblock actually melted, and all that was there was the same hatch that exists in Wailing Woods. Weird.

I did have it before the patch, but I did not turn on the Switch since.

As per what I remember from the notes, this patch was supposed to fix it, I think.

I've found the secret to winning One Shot. Ideal loadout is 2 balloon slots, portable rifts, bandages, semi-auto sniper. Then wait until the storm gets relatively small and float around as high as possible. People won't know you're up there, and then you can either take them out with pot shots, or wait for the storm to take them out. If you get damaged by the storm, you can bandage in mid-air but you have to be quick because the damage is extra-powerful near the end.

Anyone know a reason besides autism why people build up uncontrollably after winning?

Just had a game in the final 3, guy kills me, my grenade kills him after I die...third party (base skin) wins by default. And then a streamer kill me and himself with his noob tube resulting in the last guy winning.

The 1st week was awesome, but a bit too long a time investment. The current version try to have the same experience concentrated in less time.

I has been busy and have not played it yet, but has been described to me has some tough poo poo that will send you home cryiing. The dark souls of tower defenses.

This week's frostnite challenge is considerably less soul draining than last week's. It's the normal mode but you have to kill a certain number of a specific type of enemy in a wave. There's a mix of husks in each wave but it only counts specific ones. It even seems to differentiate between the different type of lobbers. Either way, I joined a random group and did it in one try. I never managed to find a good group for last week's challenge of continuous attacks.

Maybe not, it occurs to me that you may have been reading about the pl128 challenge where you have to survive 30 waves. I think you get a banner and some tickets for that. The Ice Queen one is the weekly challenge that you only have to survive 6 waves at any pl to get. She's a Striker AC in a custom skin but I keep hearing that she's supposed to get a custom move in the future. The Ice King is a constructor and he's supposed to get a custom move at some point too. Take that with a grain of salt because it's all internet rumors.

All the new non-base game characters (Steel Wool, Krampus, Cloaked Star, Ice Duo) will supposedly be reworked with the hero update.

Burn Bright was a nightmarishly hard challenge at level 100. Six waves of the new round is simple at 100 and takes a pretty good team at level 128.

Just figure out where the bacon farm is, make trap tunnels, build a six or maybe seven high lobber shield by wave 4. Run a Powerbase Knox with recycling.

Lobbers shield will need repairs because if your base sticks out from underneath it they will throw into your shield to get at that part and then they will start raining death on your main base once they get through that.

What's your Epic? Also I don't trap out SSD's unless someone gives me the materials, can't afford all that metal and herbs. I help out a lot of people with those since there's nothing else to do but each one invariably needs gas traps, wall launchers and floor spikes.

Other than that I'd be happy to.

Should be fairly straightforward. The last parts of canny can be done with a few gas traps and two Constructor Controllers. If you want to save a bunch of materials level up a Controller Harper or Hazard the 13th to 30 or 40 tonight and I'll get at you tomorrow. Also, do some farming because you'll have to do Canny 8 9 10, Launch the Rocket, and Twine 1 + 2 in very short order.

Ah that's alright. 30 is good, most SSD's can be trivialized by cycling decoys. You can have one up at all times. Saves a HUGE amount of materials but it's not exactly compelling gameplay.

They seem to have tweaked the looting too. Very rarely getting anything worthwhile from the spawn nodes themselves, but I've gotten stuff like a rocket launcher, chug jug, etc from just the base mooks.

The little pre event was cool. Liked seeing the map dynamically get snowed in as the storm passed.
