We run our clock and respawns down to the lowest we can. ive had probably 20-25 in a teams possesion at some moment and i have watched them all be lost befor the mission end. Just now the host went down a hole with them.

Try and play day time missions with high visibility like the moon environment. The bug structures are dark red, the moon rocks are white and the super sample one will be darkish black with lightning veins

That doesn't always work though. Some planets have very fast day/night cycles. Had one earlier today that was night for like s minute then the sun came up again. I assume it had 2 suns.

Well, maybe it's phallic if you have a really strangely shaped penis. It's a buttplug. Thin in the middle, thicker on top and at the bottom. If it's just a pillar that doesn't have those characteristics, it ain't it. Somehow I've ended up with like 40. I need more basic ones to finish the upgrades.

Just boner town out there. did a bunch of 7s with mechs and, with cover, they do well against Bots or Bugs during Extraction, and are good against Bugs whenever you have to shut down a breach, stalker nest, or objective with a quickness. I was cackling as I marched on a stalker nest, gunning down four of the fuckers as I plodded up to their home and dropped a rocket into the nest. Made up for almost every moment where they ragdolled me off a cliff with their tongue attack.

The hell divers discord has looking for group channels that have people looking for sample farming all the time. You don't have to be a pro gamer, if you can decline unnecessary fights you're way ahead of the curve. Failing that, scan (preferably desert or ice) planets for missions that aren't full and have players not at max and try to join those. Failing that, host your own missions and tell people you're hunting samples. Failing that, play with goons. There are plenty of people that have hit max but will help others.

I only had time for a few games today but I did a full three mission campaign on hard and it seemed like there were more chargers running around than usual. I wonder if they buffed the spawns to give the mechs a chance to shine? Because holy poo poo it felt good to call down the mech and blow up three chargers in a row with rockets.

Janissary Hop posted:Guess that's why I'm seeing people bringing arc thrower and flamer and still shield pack to high difficulty missions. They must not have heard of all the other stratagems. Those are all legit choices, even in 7+ difficulties. You can use the Arc thrower well into the higher difficulties as your primary weapon, do amazing work with it, and never friendly fire your teammates. It''s all about positioning and when to engage and when to turn off and arc it in the dirt so you don't smoke your homie. Flamethrower 100% fucks against the bugs now and can kill chargers dirty fast - my one gripe is that I wish it had some sort of hitstun on the smaller enemies. There are a ton of stratagems that while not in the meta are still really good even when poo poo gets crazy. Most people don't think much of the emplaced HMG until they get on one in a killbox and can light up 30 enemies in a single burst. 100% Skill issue.

Bought tonight, fell down a hole and blew it up from the inside. I like the Stalwart LMG. Gameplay feels like the devs really, really liked the controls for Metal Gear Solid 5 and decided to give it more laser guns and air strikes. Is there a switch to toggle sprint rather than hold-to-sprint? I'm using keyboard right now. How well does the game play on an Xbox controller?

Had a mission where the hellbomb didn't become available to take out the research station. Seemed like the radar building is stronger than the others and nothing we had on us could blow it up. We were hoping that landing a hellpod into it would do it but it just deployed him next to the building. Is this a common thing? There's not something you have to do before the hellbomb becomes available aside from entering the area is there?

Sindai posted:lol, the exosuit desperately needs explosion resistance to be even a tiny bit practical on robot missions. Even with explosion resistance the mechs will still be bad. The gatling gun sucks against walkers and devastators and isn't great for berserkers and using rockets on either feels like a huge waste. I'd rather have something like an EMS sentry.

Ever since that one video on armor testing clued me into the fact Red Xs = Full Damage, White Xs = Half Damage, I've come back around to preferring the Liberator over the Defender SMG. I noticed a lot more White Xs on various targets with the Defender while the Liberator gets plenty of Red Xs on the same targets. If AP values truly are on a 1-10 scale I can only assume the Liberator has a "3" or so while the Defender must have a "2" or maybe even a "1". https://twitter.com/Pilestedt/status/1763634529397330136

So after doing a few missions I absolutely adore the mech. 3 missions, 3 mechs each (the 1 global for everyone to try out new shiny thing + 2 from having the calldown) I've had 6 suits serve Democracy with honor. 1 had the missile bug go off when I was trying to clear a stalker nest (note it felt really good to hunt the invisible assholes down with my stompy bot up to that point). 1 was deployed on a tiny bit of flame and instantly crumpled upon landing. And 1 I accidentally blew myself up just using the last couple of rockets on a scavenger beetle. Haven't tried them against bots but honestly it just feels good to have someone playing the role of the super heavy helping the team. Definitely a solid force multiplier without being broken.

I like how Pelican-1 will actually take some potshots at the bots/bugs while dropping off your mech. I fired up an easy "kill a devestator" mission just to learn the controls somewhere I wouldn't be bothered too much, and he accidentally completed the mission for me while dropping the mech off

Quite funny to think of those posts people were making about how the devs were probably balancing the game around the release of mechs and how they're going to be a complete game changer that drastically increases our firepower and now we have them and they're just like a fairly decent stratagem for fighting one of the two factions.
