Listen we aren't playing this game to have *fun*, we're playing it for validation by proxy. If I'm not beating the hardest mode without a sweat then whats going to fill this gaping void in my heart? Love? Don't make me laugh.

Strong stroll for a mangy stray
On the positive side, the buffs to the Punisher, Spray and Pray, and 110/ 380 barrages are really good (walking barrage should've also got that buff but whatever). I also generally agree with the nerfs to the personal shield and the breaker, just think the railgun nerfs went a bit too far and several other weapons likely should've been buffed as well to make them more viable.

e: you hens still clucking at each other nonstop huh. No shame whatsoever getting in your feelings and freaking out about a drat video game? lol

thats not what that means and doesnt apply here. im sincere in that i like to play games for challenge and am good at video games (generally) and it's just my opinion that this game should stay beatable using the in game tools.

Arrowhead has done overall a great job making this a very fun drop in game where i can get as sweaty as i want without needing an appointment with a gamer group.

well tonetta what if i want the max difficulty what then :colbert:

then it sounds like if the developers were to make the higher difficulties harder, the difficulty you'd want and the difficulty you'd like would be two different things. so in that scenario you could try to branch out into finding which of the game options the developers made available to you you enjoy playing more. you could also continue to butt your head at a difficulty level you do not enjoy. it would be up to you to make the wisest call.

I'm absolutely in love with the AP Liberator. Yes you do a little less damage per bullet, and your mags are smaller so you have to reload more often but the ability to shoot things and ignore a lot of medium armor is great. I especially love shooting Hive Guards in that big slab they call a face. I'm returning that slab right back to sender.

Yeah you use a bit more ammo shooting little dudes but it still kills them pretty easy. Also you can adjust the range of the scope and basically use it as a DMR.

Also I tried the "counter-sniper rifle" DMR and...that thing is such poo poo. Its big problems are: low armor penetration for something supposedly using heavier rounds and the gun turns super slow. It's a primary weapon, a semi-auto rifle, it shouldn't feel as heavy to turn as an autocannon.
I like popping a Brood Commander's head in like 10 shots. Hate those guys

You know what needs a bufff?

The gun emplacement. It needs a whole lot more ammo.

it should just get the +50% ammo buff from the sentry upgrade or something

its kind of kickin rad tbh but has big weaknesses. unlimited ammo imo lets go.

or you can idk play on one of the easier difficulties. if you want to prove to everyone that you're a god gamer or whatever just religiously take screenshots of the post mission result stats so you can have the evidence ready for when the epeen police do their rounds

Post patch thoughts are railgun is fine, I've been underrating the recoilless, the fortress shield does not stand up to any barrages. :( I didn't realise it can actually go down and recharge. TBH with it going down and recharging, the thing should last longer.

Yeah start running and drop a napalm/cluster to thin the herd, and just keep running.

I usually do that because it feels right but honestly if you just swerve around a few obstacles so you've thoroughly broken line of sight, you can escape without even killing anything most of the time.

Why make the highest difficulty easier when there's a bunch of easier difficulties anyway? Who does this benefit?

If clicking on helldive just spawned only chargers and bile titans and was unbeatable this would be fine, because I can just click impossible instead and maybe some dude will figure out how to do it

but imagine how much you will be missing out on if you play on the difficulty level that spawns 3 chargers per encounter instead of 5
