It takes a special kind of game where a bullshit unexplained blue laser can appear and just delete you while you’re trying to do a mission and everyone agrees it’s just the coolest poo poo ever and gets so excited. The game has a huge degree of “bullshit is part of the game” in a way few have since  so you can just gently caress with players by all of a sudden sometimes having flying enemies you’ve never introduced murder everyone and the players eat it up. Such good vibes.

Scrub-Niggurath posted:Can the slugger damage the exposed vents on Cannon/AA/Mortar Towers and Tanks? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ9FO_BK4fk But only slowly/badly. EAT/RR are obviously way better, AMR is somewhat better although still slow and inefficient, and laser cannon is also way better. Both AMR/laser cannon have better pen than slugger, but I think the reason laser cannon is so much better than AMR here may be because 1). vents are classified as "massive" weakpoints and like the ones on bugs, resist non-explosive damage 2). laser cannon has explosive tag Tom Tucker posted:It takes a special kind of game where a bullshit unexplained blue laser can appear and just delete you while you’re trying to do a mission and everyone agrees it’s just the coolest poo poo ever and gets so excited.

I will say in my experience from joining higher level people, so far they mostly just summoned down a weapon I don't have yet and told me to take it while they blew poo poo up. I've gotten a mech a couple times due to this.

There are also weird physics or interaction bugs that can randomly make things not work in funny ways. I think it helps that there aren't really any consequences to dying or "failing" a mission beyond getting some but not all of the xp/reqs. I guess you lose samples though but

the scorcher wrecks tanks and cannon tower radiators really quick. on the tanks it gives you the "deflected" hit icon but it still damages it. i havent counted how many shots it takes but its less than a clip

Scorcher is fantastic in general. You can rapidly single shot a bunch of light bots, double tap walkers through the eye slit, kill devastators reasonably well, and damage heavy unit weak points. I really wish the Dominator could do similarly well. Cool concept but poor execution there.

creamcorn posted:wait a tad bit longer between shots; you're missing because it's still kicking, even though the reticle is starting to settle. First person on slugger is particularly good because you see how the aim is getting affected by this more clearly, besides just being more zoomed in. e: though maybe it's actually the predictive reticle interacting weirdly with the ramp messing things up there? but either way those shots would be easy first person.

Those are enemy field conditions because you’re playing on high difficulty, they’re not part of Draupnir. The only special thing about Draupnir is the constant fog and rain.

So today's personal order is to kill 2 bile titans. I was in a group that did a bile titan mission, we (not me) killed it and I didn't get any credit towards the goal, 0/2 after extract. I assume I have to kill them personally? Is everything else communal though? Medals, samples and currency that are recovered and made it to extract?

Draupnir is pretty, fighting the bots is more than fighting the bugs, and if I wanted a perfectly frictionless experience, I would play on Trivial.

Just pretend like you’re Scottish commandos and the bots are perfidious Albion. Why else would you be fighting in a bog over sheep pastures? Need some plaid armor options.

I assume I have to kill them personally? I did the second titan kill with a group and I don't think I got the last hit in, but it still satisfied the mission. The first one I did solo since the matchmaking wasn't working at all and it was a trip. I was at level ~7 and I don't have any of the meaty stratagems unlocked yet but I finally managed to squish it with the pod for my last life. Eventually a charger got me; I may have failed to evacuate but by god, I got the job done. Don't Ask fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Mar 17, 2024 |

i had the same thing happen but it worked on the 2nd mission and i did not personally kill any titans. maybe its cause i joined the first one mid mission even thought the 2 kills did happen after i joined.

johnny park posted:Operation modifiers aren't planet-wide, they're random between operations and between difficulties Which is why I am more angry that I can't look at the mission type, or even planetary effects most of the time, when trying to reinforce missions. Than "actually you and a second guy joining were instantly kicked by a duo, and your next mission failed to load" No wonder I am hardly bringing airburst anymore. I love it, but I love not having it be a total party kill threat because I was not allowed to know it was a scatter mission more.

Bad Munki posted:I’ve been out for two weeks. The railgun got nerfed a while back and now requires 2-3 charged shots in unsafe mode to break their leg armor. In safe mode shots will deflect. To compensate they adjusted chargers so now they die to a single headshot with an EAT or Recoilless Rifle. The weakpoint is a little higher than you would expect but once you get it killing chargers is now easier than ever.
