otoh Breaker auto-shotgun a little later is really good, so just use the Liberator or maybe Diligence if the Lib doesn't hit hard enough for you until then

Still figuring out if i like the fire shotgun. It feels like it does less damage than the knight for more ammo. But it might just be that the knight can tap a commander to death real fast and they apparently do not give a gently caress about fire shotguns

The MG still has a place even in high difficulty on missions that are swarming with the puke bugs. It kills them plenty fast and they are otherwise somewhat pesky to get rid of - let people with Big Guns take care of Chargers and Titans, being able to mow down vomit bugs quickly is very helpful! ... or commit yourself to the Eagle Way. I roll nothing but eagle strikes and improvements on my ship. Why bother calling in consumables when you can call in endless bombardment? The only time I've even remotely had trouble with this is on missions where call ins are delayed - adding a 6 second delay to your air strikes SUCKS. For those debating what eagle strikes to get: Start with the basic Strafing run: this one is AMAZING all around and will see you through to level 7ish missions Replace the basic with the Cluster Strike - this is a straight upgrade with massive area coverage. Like before, it murders soft things and semi soft things (like spitter bugs) but wont do much to heavies. The tooltip lies: it CAN break buildings, too. The Airstrike (bombs) is the MVP out of all of them, as it wipes out anything short of a titan on a good hit, and can erase entire nests if angled correctly. The 500kg Bomb is spectacular, but really shines when you get the second slot. Good at mostly* killing titans in one hit (sometimes they live through it for undemocratic reasons) The 110 Missiles strike is... okay? It can be useful as a precision anti-tank strike, but it tends to only be semi-reliable. I think this one needs the most work out of them. The Napalm strike is pretty good up until 6+ where it really doesn't kill enough with the lingering fire. Also the most flavourful, especially on jungle planets. Smoke... doesn't kill anything. Surprisingly actually quite useful on higher difficulty to block patrol LOS and act as a distraction if you are trying to stay under the radar. ZeusCannon posted:Still figuring out if i like the fire shotgun. It feels like it does less damage than the knight for more ammo. But it might just be that the knight can tap a commander to death real fast and they apparently do not give a gently caress about fire shotguns I use the fire shotgun almost exclusively vs Bugs, but I am also resigned to my purpose as 'the guy that suicide rushes into bug nests to kill all of the eggs' - it remains viable right up to helldive difficulty, but you need to respect your lack of armor-killing power when you're running it. When you run into those patrols of like 30 small bugs, the fire shotgun just lets you magdump in their direction and they will all die to DOT. It's incredibly good at killing soft targets and eggs. It's not too amazing against medium+ armored enemies, though - but setting them on fire can often keep them busy. DarkDobe fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Feb 12, 2024 |

It’s not horrible, the armor is just cosmetic with the same basic effects as free armor, and you can earn currency in game to buy the things that you can also buy with real money.

Supercredits (the $$-based currency) IS available in mission to find as well. Not hard to find either if you actively look around the map for resources too.

Also they said the battle pass will never go away so you can do it whenever you feel like without fomo. I’m normally very sour about MTX stuff but between that and the credits for exploring I have not felt a need to throw more dollars at the game. I might pick up the battlepass later if I clear out the stuff I want from the initial options.

There's already a type of player that is starting to solidify in my mind that is annoying as hell to play with. Runs around like absolute mad, tries to scour the whole map but does it in the least efficient way possible. Usually has a jump pack.

The prices of the cash shop items have been slowly increasing it seems, so probably will need to keep an eye on that, however Arrowhead are generally a really good developer so hopefully they will limit themselves.

If you can, shoot them in the back - they have glowing vents there that are a crit spot. The railgun is amazing for this (but admittedly high level). Otherwise, it takes several recoilless/railgun (anti heavy) shots to take out. Haven't tried with a SPEAR yet but I imagine it 1 or 2 shots them. Maybe the eagle 110 missile strike works on them too? Tanks are the same - they have the vents on the back of the turret. Also a tip: DONT CLIMB ONTO TANKS - you sure can, and you sure will die for doing it.

My impression of imposible difficulty, is that is very manageable with a group of players with experience in the game.. ..THERES A LOT OF BUGs, the game throws at you some quantities that absolutely feel too many, but with good maneuvers is manageable. Looking forward for unlocking more poo poo
