My very first kill was a teammate, and I average 2-3 TKs a match. It's hard to be a disappointment in this game, even harder when your teammates are goons.

Dinosaurs! posted:Does the explosive liberator become useful at higher difficulties? I have enough credits for the premium warbond but nothing in it has really tipped me over the edge from "wait to see what the next one is." The gun looks great and it'd be cool if doing full damage to chargers and spewers made it a good choice, but I feel like you have much better support weapon options by the time you're dealing with heavies in quantities that outpace strategem cooldowns. right now, not really. everything not the breaker, defender, or liberator just feels anemic and like it lacks oomph.

It's fine against bots if you can reliably hit weakpoints but the Breaker is really just the better choice all around unfortunately.

Floppychop posted:Holy the hell the scorcher is complete trash. The damage is middling, and the splash damage is a non factor on enemies. However if a hunter leaps in your face the splash will absolutely kill you. most explosive weapons land in this area where they won’t do appreciable damage to more than 1 enemy at a time but will still instakill you if you use them on a bug that’s in your face. I would rather the autocannon had a splash range of 0 just so I could use it on close stalkers safely. Riatsala posted:I'm level 11 and haven't gotten a good AT support weapon yet. Should I get an autocannon or recoilless rifle first? Get the autocannon, the recoilless is painful to load by yourself but if you try to squad load it the interaction can bug out and refuse to work while the autocannon is perfectly usable loading it yourself. the recoilless is only good at one thing except it’s also not very good at actually killing the enemies it’s meant to counter in 1-2 shots unlike the first game, and while the autocannon needs more precision/effort on heavy armor than the recoilless, it’s also good for a whole lot more than just those enemies. it’s useful on hive guards, brood commanders, closing bug holes/destroying factories, all the bigger bots, and it can kill tanks and laser cannon towers with a few shots to the vents.

I was reloading my friend's RR the other night and man it's hilarious when your arms bug out and suddenly you're walking around with your arms bunched together and facing your left side because you were standing on a rock when trying to load or something like that.

The only single use for the explosive weapons is them dealing full damage to squishy bug bits which is rarely a situation where it's a good idea to do this in the first place. It really should just have an effect to reduce armor over time or something when focusing on it then it could be more useful as a support weapon.

I've learned that you simply cannot effectively rambo without a grenade launcher against the bugs. It and the Stalwart (at highest ROF naturally) are both supremely effective against bugs, but the grenade launcher can close holes which is important and it functions as a "oh poo poo" gun when you get caught unawares (this is also why you should rambo with fortified so you can do point-blank grenade launcher shots without dying).

I would pay good money for a sidearm single poo poo grenade launcher that can kill bug holes even if it only has like 4 ammo with a longer reload time each shot. I have problems closing bug holes because I run out of explosives, and there are no primaries or sidearms that can do that! Or let the scorcher close bug holes or something.

There's an explosive crossbow getting added at some point and the pic made it look pretty small, I was hoping that'd be a sidearm option to do exactly this with. I guess it's likely going to be a strategem though.

Autocannon is IMO the best support weapon in the game, even better than the railgun. RR is really only great on bot defense/scientist rescue where you're constantly getting dropships to shoot down, IMHO its not worth it otherwise

Autocannon also works for being a solo little freak, albeit not as easily as GL since it needs a more specific angle to destroy bug holes and bot factories. had a good match on malevelon creek 7 where I happened to get separated from the group and just rolled with it by myself, quietly hellbombing a detector tower from the side and then destroying several bases with banked autocannon shots into factories before slipping away from the bots searching for me Soloing the heavy bug nest is one thing I haven’t been brave enough to try because the holes are angled in a way where it’s hard to get them all from the outside and they don’t waste any time spawning bile titans + major swarms which can go bad fast Owl Inspector fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Mar 4, 2024 |

Hit lvl 12 no idea what I'm doing. Gave my friend a flame thrower so we could do the weekly objective. Dual Flame Throwers with the supply packs to constantly reload is stupid and my fans hate it. Someone wanted me to get a rover / guard dog and how dare you try and get me to meta so early into the game. Haven't done any of the automaton missions yet. I feel like you have a disadvantage using stratagems vs using a controller as opposed to aim being easier on KB/M. But I never tried controller for this so I don't know what the aiming experience is like.

Really looking forward to the amazing daily orders again. Kill 9001 hulks with the Las-5 Scythe. Kill 40 teammates with the mortar sentry. Use some weapon you haven't even bothered to unlock and see how long you can go without a teammate laughing at you for bringing it.

The arc thrower is much better vs bugs than I expected. Some of my teammates will die in accidental discharges, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Not sold on it against bots yet but for bugs all the collateral bug damage and constant absolute dps is just the bees knees.

I got the autocannon and am loving it, except for being a little disappointed it has no AP for chargers. Shoot em in the butt though. The only AC downside is you gotta have the ammo backpack so no shield one, sad. priznat fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Mar 4, 2024 |

I hit 20 and picked up the Spear and I am confused what its niche is. It wouldn't lock on if a big guy is too close, it misses AT-STs and it locks onto the middle of dropships. I swapped back to my recoilless and life was good again, but I'm still left wondering what the Spear gets you for being so temperamental.

The grenade launcher is amazing against bugs when you get spitters and pretty good regardless but I’d never try to rambo with it because chargers ruin your day. I’ll absolutely pick it if I have anti-armour (railgun) teammates I can stick to and rely on for charger killing though. tofes posted:Does the grenade launcher break armor?
