SHISHKABOB posted:If i don't see red on my reticule when I'm shooting something, am I doing no damage? Not seeing the ricochet symbol either. Red X is a hit on a soft target, white X is a hit on a hard target with effective penetration, and finally the shield symbol that appears during ricochets indicates hitting a hard target with ineffective penetration.

Insert name here posted:There's definitely more to armour pen than Light/Medium/(presumably) Heavy, based on my anecdotal experience. One of the secret finicky milsim things in this, besides the speed of your guy aiming a lighter vs heavier weapon, is that the angle of hits matters. Hitting a tank flat-on versus at an angle with a rocket is the easy example but chargers are affected by this too. Wouldn’t be surprised to learn that bullet projectile size affects penetration e.g. tiny spraynpray shot doesn’t do much against brood commander’s armored face.

You know, I don't think things being doubly-gated. Make me level up to be able to use a piece of equipment, or make me use in-game currency, but making me do both has always bothered me. It's not like you can give someone else requisition or warbonds or samples to rush them, and gaining a level does nothing except give you a new title and unlock items that you need to spend those things on anyway, so basically xp is just another currency you need to earn to be able to spend currency unlocking something.

Mentioning levels brings me to another question, how are levels independent from titles? I'll see two people both like, level 8, one is titled cadet one is titled space cadet. What's up with that?

My primary problem with the AMR is that it is zeroed for some type of range that is never the range I'm ever actually using it for and it is always above or below anything I'm trying to hit with it

You unlock a new title every 5 levels, but actually have to set it on the character tab in the armory.

Au Revoir Shosanna posted:Yep, in the key bindings you can change the mode from 'hold' to 'press' which turns it into a toggle. If this feels awful and is getting you killed, it might be because shooting your gun while auto-sprinting does not cancel the sprint so if you hit Shift again to continue sprinting after firing it will instead cancel your sprint. I can't get used to it, so I've changed back to Hold. I don't want a mode where pressing Shift can make me walk, god-dammit!

About 6 hours in and it's truly amazing how they squared the circle of making it arcade-y in all the ways that matter for approchability and sheer fun factor, but hard-nosed starship trooper fireteam coordination milsim in all the ways that are engaging and rewarding to execute. Frex I thought I was annoyed that the space game where you shoot bugs didn't have the magic ammo-conserving magazines that the modern military shooters do, but no. It ends up being a really cool mechanic to engage with in concert with the other resource management stuff.

Every gun has different options, the AMR is the only one I've run into so far that lets you change the scope on the fly. They really should mention this stuff in the tutorial and not just in a loading screen that a lot of people won't see.

I do hope future defense campaigns have a bit more mission variety. I don't want to fight on those planets any more purely because almost every operation is multiple defend missions and that loving scientist evacuation.

Insert name here posted:I definitely used to do this with the regular Liberator but Brood Commanders will still crawl after you, while the AP Liberator will definitely put it in the dirt with less than a mag to the head and the sooner those things are dead the better (Brood Commanders can summon warrior bugs at its location independent of bug breaches, because they're jerks) How is the AP liberator? Been wondering if it was worth buying, I'm still running my Knight from civilian life.

bird food bathtub posted:I'm not high enough to unlock the autocannon but I looted one and for some reason I was completely unable to reload it myself. I know it's supposed to be faster if someone else helps you reload but I thought you could kinda sorta do it on your own. Anyway I got to shoot it three times and then couldn't ever shoot again. As people have mentioned you have to have the backpack to reload but i wanted to mention it also has two other fun intricacies. It wont let you reload unless you can add a full mag worth of ammo (so if you only shot like two shots you cant top off) and if you shoot only the first magazine worth(around 5 shots) and reload, it only reloads the "first" clip and its much faster than a full reload.

Heres the trick, you only need 1 of the 4 to open the doors. If your other 3 are making noise away from the doors the mission goes much smoother / faster. Enemies run towards noise

Hats Wouldnt Fly posted:How is the AP liberator? Been wondering if it was worth buying, I'm still running my Knight from civilian life. It's alright. I've found it's more useful against bots than bugs. I still take a Breaker for bug missions. Played with some goons last night and a guy one-shot a titan with a fully charged arc to the mouth. That was pretty cool. Gun is a lot stronger than I thought.

It has the worst damage per bullet, per mag and worst total damage potential for a full set of mags in the game. if it did 70 damage like the Defender it would be fun and good.

A pubbie just jump packed ahead from all of us, landed, and launched an EAT into a Bile Titan's mouth and it killed him. What a hero. Obviously we were just calling in a ton of stratagems so he ate poo poo immediately after but I thought that was really cool.

Walking Barrage seems like possibly one of the more useful barrages, thinking of all the times we're pinned down and need to get mortars or spawners just far enough away that we can't land an airstrike on it. Is the spread as crazy as the other barrages?
