Once they get out of crisis mode I think shortening the mission summary is one of the first things they'll do, it seems like a common complaint and it's definitely very glacial

You have to finish an operation, so for hard when looking at the globe it's all three missions within the yellow border.

... but you can also get lucky and quickmatch in another host's third mission. If you finish then you unlock the next difficulty even though you weren't involved in the preceeding two.

Just to be sure: are you completing a full operation, i.e., 3 grouped missions in sequence? A single mission is not enough, requirement is finishing the operation.

This, but there is a known issue still I think where people get stuck unlocking the next difficulty. There's a huge thread in the official Arrowhead Discord support channel with a bunch of people having the problem.

You have to complete an entire hard operation, not just one mission.

If you're sure you've done that, there's a support thread on their official discord where the CMs can fix it for you.

I missed it in my first solo mission but can you run out of respawns? If the whole party dies at about the same time do you lose?

You get 5 guys per player. If everyone dies and you have more dudes you'll all deploy again simultaneously.

E: also if you run out of respawns you will slowly get more. I think it's a new guy every 90 seconds after you run out.

Worth noting that if you overcharge the Railgun and blow yourself up, the gun s gone when you redeploy. It’s logical but also means you could be out a support weapon for some time if you’re not careful.

I don’t know if it’s me but I found it a lot harder to kill Chargers and Titans with overcharged Railgun shots. Whereas I seemed to be able to kill Titans in about 4 headshots, now it takes several. Same with Charger head shots.

You have to complete a hard CAMPAIGN. Not a single mission. Same for the rest of the difficulty tiers.

I only started yesterday and haven't unlocked the breaker yet but I'm pleasantly surprised with the basic shotgun on the first page of the pass. Given the kind of game it is I was expecting basically a melee weapon but it's half decent at range and my reflexively reloading rear end appreciates the shell by shell loading (same with the senator)

I'm eying the flame breaker in the premium pass too, but I worry it'll be worthless or just lead to bugs on fire setting ME on fire.

I tried a couple of challenging-level evacuations on the robot ice planet, and we were totally overwhelmed by hulks like when the mission type was bugged to be too difficult. Is the bug back?

Assuming you've actually completed an operation on that difficulty, so a string of missions, you may just be bugged. I'm bugged myself, stuck unable to select anything above easy and have completed operations on 5. Hasn't been fixed in the most recent patch either and I've tried every workaround I can think of. Until then I have to wait for the boys to host.

last i ran the defense mission, it was noticably easier than it had been; the nerfs are having an effect. But it still feels like something is fundamentally wrong with the mission. Why are there so many sub objectives outside the mission area? Why are there so many patrols in addition to the dropped forces? Why do the patrols have flares enabled?

the worst part is definitely that people won't press the Democracy-forsaken button though.

its so easy! just press it!

It seems ever so slightly easier on harder modes but you're still absolutely hosed if you fail to man each button constantly and aren't wiping out drop ships on the way in.

It's a mission where a recoilless team can shine like a diamond.

Also yeah spam "push button" in chat lol

Yeah I'm definitely the only one making an attempt on the buttons once the robots appear. Usually one button gets a press or two before they do, but after that the objective is completely forgotten

I'm torn on the armor piercing liberator. It seems to be better against mid level enemies while worse against trash? Which is actually a good tradeoff I feel on bugs since I can just pop the little dudes with my revolver. Against robots the three shot burst would either pop the trash-bot's head or it just seemed to take an extra burst or two to kill it more than it really should have.

On the other hand I laughed when I discovered the medium armor piercing could actually damage the weak point on the back of stationary turrets. Still bounced off of the mortar turrets, but that's what grenades are for.

I can only speak to the Fire version of it which fills the niche of Dotting small enemies and eggs - ESPECIALLY EGGS - to death in one hit.
The regular spray and pray looks like rear end with no benefit.

Had a robot data extraction mission on hard and was shocked that no tanks showed up? We cake walked the whole mission.

Just seems weird since on hard chargers are absolutely everywhere in the bug missions

I believe tanks = bile titan and the robot equivalent for chargers are the extremely armored hulks with the heat sink on their backs.
