I got 4.1 during the sale but haven't played it yet since I'm working on my backlog, but everyone is raving about 5. I've never played an EDF before, is 5 to 4.1 what Monster Hunter World is to the rest of the series?

This boss is a real piece of poo poo, do I just keep shooting it or what? because its undivided attention is ending me every time.

jackhammer is a very simple weapon. you press the button and it continually pounds the poo poo out of anything you look at within 40 meters until you have to reload. no animation lock, no charge mechanic, just loads of quick, powerful hits at short range. you can use it to shear off armor and then legs on the light armor colonists in about 1 second flat. heavy armor colonists, you might need to do a few hit and run passes first. the only downside of jackhammers in 5 compared to 4.1 is that you want to lop off limbs. in 4.1 you could just go to town on a hector's crotch and have a real nice time.

Just keep shooting it, maybe blow off his limbs if the attacks that uses said limbs are pissing you off. Which class are you playing as? Note that the final form's meteor shower can be shot out of the sky.

but anyway, i finally got around to checking and regular force axes do not shoot out a neat horizontal line of death. it's just a slightly faster sword, like the description says. i guess that neat axe from the video might be from one of the dlc mission packs?

Air raider, I got him but I had to swap my poo poo around. My guns weren't hurting him enough to blow off limbs because I hadn't leveled them in ages

How do you handle a shitload of drones as Fencer in EDF 4.1 (like in Air Force) solo? I'm only on Hard and this is surprisingly difficult - Hand missiles don't have enough lock ons or AoE; the big 6-lock vertical missiles have a 10-second reload, melee weapons don't reach high enough. It seems like a shield and gatling is doing all right for tanky DPS, but I get my world rocked when the NPCs die and the drones start flanking behind. Dual Galleon Light Cannons are good for spamming shots but not so much the dodge jukes; not sure what to pair in the offhand that's got a horizontal dash.

40 Proof Listerine posted:How do you handle a shitload of drones as Fencer in EDF 4.1 (like in Air Force) solo? You either use the 6 lock missiles or you play another class, more or less. Use 2 of them in one set, alternating them so you have something to shoot while one is reloading. Put ion shield + your favorite melee weapon in your other set and learn to cancel the recovery animation of your dash with the deflection from your shield to go fast.

I've never played an EDF before, is 5 to 4.1 what Monster Hunter World is to the rest of the series? Even though it’s not MHW level of improvements, 5 definitely has some nice quality-of-life changes to it. But I can’t imagine someone ever playing 4.1, not liking it and then liking 5. So just try out the one you have first imo.

I love this game but I got that problem where I wanna play on lower difficulties because its objectively more fun but my mouse keeps trawling down to inferno... its like halo, it calls to me. Hard is the best difficulty, infero is just getting kicked in the nuts... yet I cannot NOT do it

Jackhammer rules (only problem is you don't get to slide into it at the end of a dash like with the spears, which is a bit of a boner killer tbh) jackhammer and shotgun trip report: turbo mode activated then an ant point blanked me and I died so that's definitely not going to work in inevitable inferno, but it'll be fun when I want to take a break from air raiding now my main issue is finding another set, as playing MP with 3-4 players makes the slower recoil firing stuff squarely eh cuz it doesn't actually kill

Leal posted:Why the gently caress do I play wing diver. Good news! High level wing diver gear lets you go just as fast(the dash button is loving insane) and you can also fly permanently(eventually core energy regen outpaces expenditure from spamming dash, meaning you regen just by dashing around in the air like a dickhead). Wing Diver weapons are generally better, too. You can't fix being made of spun glass and paper mache, though.

Try 4.1 first if you already have it

Just got to mission 41 and getting absolutely wrecked by green lasers. Any loadout recommendations? I'm playing ranger with an assault rifle and a sniper. The final part of the mission where tons of enemies get dropped, wrecks me.

Barga on demand, hell, war barga who actually swings at a decent clip) Motherfucker fucked around with this message at 12:45 on Jul 23, 2019 |

I mean, he could have accidentally reduced his armour early in the game, and then never bothered to reset it to 'auto max'. I did that for the first 30 missions of the game, until I released why my dumb arse was the first to die. Or, CheatEngine

Quicksilver6 posted:Random thought: Serious Sam is in EDF in his games and Croteam knows how to make horde shooters. Croteam should make an EDF spinoff like IR. Croteam had something going with the first two games and they decided to go in a completely opposite direction ever since. Serious Sam 3 at least had flashes of brilliance here and there.

The only change I would make to EDF 5 is that Wing Divers and Soldiers should really get a third weapon slot that is reserved for special weapons only.

mp cave missions aren't too bad as air raider provided you are with non-air raiders with decent weapons. you just use your long neglected support weapons between crawlers. but solo? it's loving miserable.

Honestly just merge the ranger and the air raider its dumb that they keep stealing each others gear from game to game. I want to play Air raider with a shotgun and ranger mobility and I want to play Ranger with access to air raider vehicles.

If you give the Air Raider some more shotguns and SMGs and such, you get the Tactical from EDF:IA. While I'd love it, I'm pretty sure you'd get a lot of purists getting a bit out of sorts about it.
