Nice thing about sample collection is that if you have a full 4-man team, 2 can just run around the whole map hitting every POI while the other 2 do the objectives and extract. You don't have to physically get in the shuttle to take samples with you, you just can't die while carrying them. This also means if the extraction zone is a utter clusterfuck you can just stay away and the only thing the team/you "lose" is a small exp/req bonus. Wish it was easier to find rare/super rare samples though, the sheer quantities you need for later levels of upgrades are kind of nuts.

Wait so the samples don't need to get into the ship, they just can't be on the floor? That's got to be a mistake and also I'm doing it.

Okay so this game does not have an FPS limiter built in. Was getting insane temps specifically at the loading/end of mission screens (when it pans back to your ship) with FPS in the hundreds and it was force shutting down my PC. Set a limiter on the GPU settings and it runs perfectly on highest settings  .

Debating whether to go ps5 or pc for this, suspect that my 4 year old laptop might struggle with it so leaning towards ps5. Does it work well enough on controller? And how easy is it for ps5 players to join premades with people playing on pc where you can't invite over steam?

Am I missing something about the Diligence? I keep seeing people saying it's good for weak points on bots, but man I aim directly at a berserker or devastator's face and shoot him five times and accomplish exactly nothing every time. Like my aim isn't great but even if I go into ADS and stand still and perfectly line up my shots it just doesn't seem to do a drat thing

I had to go the PS route due to an ancient computer and while I will never feel comfortable with shooters on a controller, this game is probably the least hamstrung I'll ever feel without a mouse. It has gyro support, and as a bonus the haptics are really nice. As for crossplay, you have an in-game friend list that works through a friend code system, so joining your friends playing on PC is absolutely no issue.

Got the game yesterday and having tons of fun. I unlocked the gatling turret because I had some orders promising me medals if I killed stuff with it. The moment I called it in the very first time it mowed me down immediately. DEMOCRACY!

Speaking of keybinds, what good tweaks can I make? I already changed run from hold to press once to save my pinky and rebinding strategem/terminal inputs to the arrow keys has helped with being able to move while calling for reinforcements. Any other hot tips?

Because I can two/three tap them in the face and they fall over dead. If you see the armor icon (like a shield with a deflection off of it), then you actually aren't hitting the weakpoint. Every time you shoot them in the face, you should see part of their skull break. Berserkers require a few more shots, I don't really count because I am panic shooting them as they charge me, but devastator's are two or three headshots to kill with the diligence.

Specifically for Marauders - the mid-size automaton walkers - the head is the primary weakpoint. You can actually 1-shot kill them with the Slugger, it's pretty legit. If you're having trouble there are other options, however.: For Butchers (the chainsaw ones) and Basic (one gun arm) the lower center torso is a secondary weak point. For Destroyers (missile pods) the missile pods are not armored and can be shot off fairly easily. For whatever-the-hell the shield ones are called (shield and MG) the backpack is a weakpoint. For all models the legs are light armor rather than medium armor, allowing you to kill with basic firearms. Edit: Basically don't panic-fire into their chest and shoulders and you're good.

What a terrible weapon. It's not bad, especially against the bugs, but it's very much an "I didn't take a support weapon stratagem and haven't found anything better on the map yet" weapon. It does seem like it's better for setting ground on fire for bugs to walk through than for actually firing directly at the bugs.

What a terrible weapon. Actually its the best weapon for killing yourself with because you took a single step too far or did a panic evasion into the fire. No other weapon can achieve this level of "goddamn it, i'm a loving idiot". Now for killing enemies its useless and I dont understand why in a game where the shotguns can shoot peoples heads off from a mile away the flamethrower has a range of 3 feet.

I'm sure most of you have seen, at least once in a while, hosed up bug model vertex glitches. ala this: I encountered one of those to the nth degree earlier. see here-    -you see that giant, low poly orange and black triangle in the distance? That's actually some part of a bug's model that's gotten absolutely hosed up and stretched up and outwards towards the sky. Didn't get to see it up close before the mission ended, but it was wobbling side to side and slowly moving towards us. Unrelated, this happened on another mission:     Lots of other stuff was hosed up on that mission as well. No one could interact with terminals or pick up resupplies, so we had to wait for the "time's up" extraction, seemingly all press E prompts were broken.
