It's kind of funny that the only thing they changed with the arc thrower was counting its shots and kills correctly and that somehow crashes the game. Don't use it until it's fixed I guess.Reiley posted:Do you guys tend to shoot in 1st or 3rd person? I have been shooting in 1st for everything but once I realized how the 3rd person barrel position crosshairs worked it's felt a lot easier to shoot more things faster, and maybe 1st person is for far away things?

Vanguard Warden posted:...people tend to run away from big swarms rather than sticking in and clearing poo poo out... this is the correct thing to do though. staying and fighting over empty land is pointless and the main reason ive seen missions go sideways. always leave a fight unless its on your objective. some times with the bots theyll even call in a dropship back where the fight started and theyll just stand around while preventing another dropship call for another minute or so at the objective.

Most things I shoot in third person while aiming. The Arc I shoot from the hip occasionally because aiming isn't too important but the timing is easier when aiming because of the charge indicator. Pretty much only the Slugger I use half the time in ADS with the scope.

I really haven't been having much crashing at all, weirdly. I've been having overheating issues that freeze the game up for a few seconds but my game hasn't straight up crashed in a while. Not saying it doesn't happen, it's just weird how inconsistent it seems to be across hardware since it seems like a lot of people are crashing often.

Any tips for level 6 difficulty? I’m running light stealth armor, the punisher, the smg sidearm plus usually a turret strat, orbital laser, EAT, and the laser dog. I just get swarmed and killed constantly and there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do. Definitely will never be able to play 7 at this rate for the super materials…I just want to upgrade my sentries!

Third unless I'm supporting a helldiver from far away and then first if i have a good scope.

I presume playing solo. IMO you should switch to the Slugger; with the laser drone taking care of chaff, the slugger serves to more efficiently take out tough targets like devastators and hive guards. Try using impact grenades to clear things quickly, after all you have the whole maps worth of ammo. Wasting grenades to clear bugs before they can breach is rarely actually a waste, and they are superb for immediately murdering bot drops and spewers. It does take practice to kill bot factories and bug holes with impacts but it is worth the effort to learn. You do have a shortage of orbital firepower. I can't say the laser is the wrong choice really, but it might not be the best one if you can manage to take out chargers with EATs.

the 10% damage happens when you shoot any big squishy jelly like bits that you can see goo flying off when you hit. This is the asses of Chargers, bodies of Nurse and Bile Spewers and the sacs of Titans

Sometimes you end up surrounded and swarmed and there's not a lot you can do but for the most part you should be able to avoid getting in that situation in the first place. If bugs are closing in faster than you can kill them then start running the other direction, your laser dog will thin out the pursuers and hopefully give you enough space to pick off a few more with your primary and then start running again. Rinse and repeat until everything is dead or you finish the mission. If that doesn't work then you're not running soon enough. Standing still is death, remember: Always Be Cmoving

TheDeadlyShoe posted:6 is the worst difficulty. It feels almost identical to 7 but no samples. I don't know, 7 occasionally gets super rough. Last lobby I had they brought 3 mortars (not EMS either), two AMRs, all the strafing runs, and some 500kgs on a map that had the 50% delay for call-ins on a bug E710 mission. It did not go well. I was the only one who brought any kind of anti-armor besides 500kg bombing runs, and one person dropping EATs like mad just doesn't cut it.

If you are maybe stop and quick play with pubbies or join goon games. This is not designed to be a single player game and it doesn't reduce spawns or enemy health much, if at all, because you are alone. It's meant for 4 players. Playing alone is just ratcheting up that difficulty level.

Those two bits alone are usually and effect, and enough to cause a pile of teamkills against bugs and have things go to poo poo. Regular explosive mortars are bad and an aggressively bad idea to bring to bugs the vast majority of the time IMHO. It's enough that if I drop into a game and I see somebody using a normal mortar against bugs, I strongly consider backing out and just finding a different game

I use 110 rocket pods occasionally since 500kg is so unreliable unless you're good at timing it and they are just so disappointing. I've never seen them actually kill a charger (which is okay) but half the time they don't even break any armor.

They seem to kill the charger or at least screw it up really bad a lot more of the time if you time the hits so it hits while the charger is not moving. So like while it's rotating to line up on you or after it hits a wall or something. It takes some getting used to. Even then they're just serviceable. Still not really good in my opinion

Yeah staying mobile is really king against bugs, and a combo of using as much cover as possible while staying the hell out of the line of fire of rockets is clutch against bots. I spent the last few bug missions really enjoying orbital airburst strike. Tossing it right on top of a bug breach a few seconds after it starts is like a guaranteed 30-45 kills and really really helps thing out the heard. Let's you instantly start moving away and allow you to focus on any chargers or bile titans that pop up with or around the breach. Reiley posted:Do you guys tend to shoot in 1st or 3rd person? I have been shooting in 1st for everything but once I realized how the 3rd person barrel position crosshairs worked it's felt a lot easier to shoot more things faster, and maybe 1st person is for far away things? Mostly third person but every once in a while I'll go first person for slugger shots. I like it's sight more than most of the rest and it can feel a little off at mid range and longer in third person. I think people talked about this several pages ago but it has a little bit of sway while pumping after every shot that might not really show that much in third person but is really obvious in first person. The steam coming off of the sickle is also really noticeable in first person but I don't use first person for it that often, not against bugs at least. AMR and Railgun are almost always first person, AC too but I'm still learning how to democratically apply the AC.

500kg is alright but complex stratagem planning makes eagles pretty hard to use. Today I hit 3 chargers in a patrol using a 500kg, 1 kill outright and 2 bleeding out. Definitely a rare case  If you see people bringing lots of turrets and 380mm on high level bugs just back out of the game, they will simply get overwhelmed by heavies and elites. There’s only so much you can do if they are purposely weak against armour. I mean I try to save them most of the time but if they burn through half the reinforcements in 5 minutes because of maybe 5 heavies at once, they’re simply over their head.

There's no way we're making this current major order, Zagon Prime still isn't even selectable. Sad too, Fori Prime is a lot of fun. Here's hoping we get some neat bug development following it's failure. I'm off to practice shooting bots with the AC some more.

Mordja posted:How is the rocket turret, I feel like I've never seen anyone mention it. I actually really like it when combined with the gatling turret on fixed defence missions against bugs (like the recent TCS tower one). Together, they'll absolutely lock down an invasion lane, especially when combined with a minefield to knock around Chargers, while you can use the support weapon of your choice to help out your friends elsewhere. For bots, the ideal combo is an autocannon turret and mortar turret, since they engage at longer range and tend to use medium-armoured wolfpacks rather than an even mix of lightly-armoured trash and heavily-armoured linebreakers. Just use your own autocannon to blast any melee enemies you see before they close in enough to give you friendly fire problems. Darth Walrus fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Mar 21, 2024 |

I've never seen them actually kill a charger (which is okay) but half the time they don't even break any armor. Actually, on that note how to 110s do against bile titans? On Fori hitting a titan with a 500kg is a crapshoot with the longer call-in time, so might as well try rockets. If it takes two rounds to kill them that's at least a faster cooldown than the orbital railcannon, and a huge advantage to the rocket if they weaken it enough that an EAT can finish it off.110s on Chargers just feels bad though. Also, why do railcannons sometimes one-shot bile Titans but not always?
