It's still wild to me that i find the 500kg less useful than the standard eagle airstrike.

idiotsavant posted:you don't need to dive from them at all tho; maybe if you're using heavy armor I guess? when they charge you just run at and past them at like a 30-40 degree angle, preferably after you lead them into a rock so they run into it & stun themselves It is true a lot of my dives are due to panicked "oh god I can see their legs on camera behind me!", even in medium armor. But also My curse of jank has let them frequently just teleport up and over walls and large rocks instead of smashing into them  Even when I am not the one getting chased."Don't worry fellow rookie, I will save you-nevermind it phased through a wall you jetpacked over to escape it instead of breaking it down.. Good luck!"

Now that I've got the hang of it, RR into the leg armour of a charger is super powerful. Chargers seem super polite about letting you line up a shot while they line up a charge. In moments like that I stop worrying about whether someone is standing too close because i am doing them a favour. Once more people know to just shoot the wounded leg they will be a piece of cake and it'll be a Democratic Christmas everyday.

I prefer the anti-tank missiles vs bugs just because it lets you use the laser drone, too, and laser drone is so loving good vs bugs. Especially in higher difficulties where you’re doing a lot more scrambling while it maintains its dps. My go-to bug loadout is something like eagle airstrike, eagle cluster, laser drone, ATM, breaker shotgun. The only thing I have trouble with is bile titans cause I don’t really know their weak points well & 2 ATMs isn’t really enough for them, but chargers are super easy now. Uncover a leg with the ATM and clean it up with a single breaker clip. If AC breaks charger leg armor with two correct shots I’m tempted to switch but also losing the drone is rough

Unlocked the Spear today and it's a lot of fun and puts in work when it decides to cooperate, but I question its overall usefulness because sometimes it decides to just not kill targets, which is a problem when you get a total of 3+1 shots, and the only way to get more is to get 1 missile per resupply pack (the field boxes didn't seem to give ammo to the pack), which means if you're empty and want to fill up it takes an entire resupply by yourself. If you really want to use it I'd bring friends you're coordinating with, and either have them bring ammo packs or grab extra Spear packs from when you inevitably run dry and just straight up call in a new Spear for a refill. That way they can at least get a missile every time they resupply to help feed you.

My kills always look a bit rear end with that loadout compared the the laser drone boys but we don't have an issue with anything heavy.

Related - if you have an anti-materiel rifle, you can shoot open the buried shipping crates that have special loot in them. No need to waste a grenade or other explosive. I wouldn't be surprised if you can also use the autocannon or railgun

Sometimes I forget I have grenades cause i'm almost always carrying the autocannon. I didn't even think about the open door thing on the bot farms. You can shoot the vents with the auto cannon but you need to be a higher elevation to get the round in.

I didn't really engage much with the story of HD1, is there a reason given why Murderbots took over half the galaxy? Was it a case of "Managed Democracy would be better if we had unthinking, self-replicating kill bots to police our colonies, oh no the killbots starting killing"?

Dandywalken posted:Tanks with hits to vent/rear end I think Yeah tanks and Hulks on their weakspots go down relatively fast with AC. You can also blow of the arms of the Hulk with the AC and then its much less of a priority. The medium sized bots have armored chests but their robodongs are not so they go down to AC very easily too.

My vague memory of the original was that it was just the bots were socialist and that had to be stopped. The bots are much more directly evil this time round though in design.

Oh boy, my first battle against bots sure was a rude awakening. Having enemies shoot back aggressively and accurately got us a few times, until we started relying more heavily on Eagle strikes and 380mm orbital artillery. Then our Eagle strikes and 380mm orbital artillery got us several more times, but that's the price of democracy.

Angel's Venture was liberated as of a little more than an hour ago, so everyone should get the 10,000 Requisitions reward on next login. There's a new mission to kill 20 Scout Striders, but I don't know what those are. Are there any good resources on enemy types and names?

Probably the ATST walkers from the bots I don't need req, I need hundreds of common supplies  I really do not want to do 'farming runs' but I fear that may be the far more efficient route, it's way easier to sweep an entire map on diff 3 than it is on diff 9 :/

Finally played last night, fun game. It really does play like the first one but with a different point of view. My daily challenge thing was to kill 20 scouts and I didn't manage a single one, is there any easy way to find out what you're looking for, for that kind of thing? Also; any pro-tips for earning SC? I managed to nab an extra 20 out of nowhere during one of the missions but didn't see how while running around in all the chaos.

I managed to nab an extra 20 out of nowhere during one of the missions but didn't see how while running around in all the chaos. Scouts Walkers spawn with a decent amount of frequency even on Normal difficultly Automaton missions, and they will die to a single Autocannon round to the cupola regardless of angle. With this strat, I easily farmed 20 in the course of a single mission (being able to insta-gib them from a vast distance before the rest of your teammates can blink does allow you to hog a lot of kills). If you don't have access to the autocannon yet, three to the cupola with the anti-material rifle will work regardless of angle, but one to the rear will also do the trick.

Your team kills also add to those objectives. There's no way i did the 400 automaton kills on one mission but everyone on my team killed at least 100 so it popped after one.

Been having a pretty good time with the game, and while I haven’t gone beyond hard (5) difficulty, pubbies have been pretty good overall. I do wish more things were explained in game, such as what difficulty your friends are playing on and the damage/direction of the various strategems. Maybe it will only let you join games at the highest difficulty you’ve unlocked, but I’m still getting used to the game and not sure I’m ready for difficulties 6+. Some random things I wish I knew when I first started and some personal opinions. Sorry for the long post! Some are pretty dumb so sorry in advance to those I’ve played with~
