Tinfoil armor that keeps you from taking fire DoT and a hand flamer would be sick I think there's armor styled like that floating around that may allude to that. I mean they already have arc resist, it seems like a natural evolution to consider continuing the " resist x" armor sets

Even the weird little energy ball launcher is better On one hand, its nice that like only 1 weapon that cost $$$ is blatantly over powered. On the other hand, please make some of these weapons better maybe?

Tommy the Newt posted:I'm braced for this being an unpopular opinion but the live service aspect of the game is starting to get me down. I appreciate that they're trying to do something new and I genuinely wish them well with it, with a few tweaks I'd probably be into it, but I find currently the cost to individual player choice too high. I agree completely. I wish the DM cut the uptime of OMG MAJOR STORY ORDER down to half the time, like every other week. Do give us major orders, but make half of them less critical and over a broader area so we can bounce between freeplay and dogpiling a system Potato Salad fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Mar 26, 2024 |

(on PS5) has anyone else had their loadout swap to default primary\secondary weapons or swapping the default emote on your diver? I've now jumped into more than one mission where I pulled out the pistol instead of the uzi and have the salute emote when I wanted to hug my bros

Since the bots are in more need of democracy this week, how is the arc thrower against them? I was just starting to like it as a bug zapper and I want to play around with it again now that it won't hardlock my game. I just don't want to feel useless if I show up with one. I'm guessing the personal shield would be all but mandatory since you have to be pretty immobile to dispense freedom with it.

The way I see it, arc guns are useful against bugs because they let you kill a charger with three really good headshots. you don't need the same thing against bots. I prefer longer range high damage primary weapons that burst robo-brains and more traditional anti-armor support weapons for the less-prevalent gigantic bots.

protip: just ignore them if they're close to you so long as their falling corpses become deathbombs you can genuinely just run straight into their nest, throw down a hellbomb, activate it and leave without furing a single shot(unless there are ground bugs that would break the hellbomb). don't think many people atm realize how easy this is, there's no need to call in multiple EAT drops to slowly clear out the towers

Or you just shoot them from 141+ meters away with rockets, autocannon, laser cannon etc. I can't ever clear a nest with one hell bomb, always need at least two. Maybe am just bad.

DeathSandwich posted:My guess is when the bots and the bugs are mostly bottled up, the illuminate come out. They will have started with some sort of deep sneak attack really close to super earth and all the emphasis is going to be to beat the brakes off of them - allowing the Automatons and Bugs to break their containment and really kick everything into high gear. The bugs do not need to be bottled up. They don't have space flight capacity; they only get from planet to planet because Super Earth transports them there. It's a cull, not a war.

I play host for my mates and the first time with these guys I managed to drop us out of the way in the middle of a literal triangle with their nest in front and two stalker lairs either side just close enough to spawn. One of the roughest starts to a mission I have ever dropped us into.

LazyMaybe posted:When dropships pull up carrying multiple tanks/hulks during ore scanning, that's just an excuse to drop eagle airstrikes/orbital lasers on their heads. Alternatively, you could bring a (regular) mortar there, because missions where you defend a point against many bots are mortar's actual strong use case. I feel like as soon as I drop bombs on one tank, it gets replaced with 2-3. Good point on mortars, though. I use them for the "wipe out X amount of bots" missions, but didn't think about bringing it for a large map mission.

I have tried to charge in and hellbomb many flyer nests and it is a fool's errand most of the time. They will start attacking you from a way out. You can duck and roll through them, but then you're trying to set up the bomb while a heap of the fuckers divebomb you and it's likely there are heaps more bugs around. I just run in and throw 120s at the base then book it.

Did they change it so if you fail the primary mission you still get your xp and space bucks for the secondaries and bug hole closes? I swear it used to be if you failed the primary then gently caress you, you get nothing (You should get nothing).

I just run in and throw 120s at the base then book it. tactics are gonna change depending on how many divers are in the game with you and what diff level you're at. Personally, i've found a gatling sentry works well at aa defence for you but can be moderately overburdened once ground bugs get close to aggro it. I typically play with full teams at diff 7-9 though so ymmv. I'm seeing people suggest the laser cannon though now, so theres that

I like to shoot the shrieker nests with EAT because you can do it from like 400m away and it feels very badass to do this. Unless there are 3 stalk nests I haven’t seen yet it should only take 2 call ins, which isn’t too bad compared to how long it can take to clear a path into the nest and then back out. Both stalkers and shriekers are awesome and a really good example of how to do negative mission effects in a way that is exciting and not super annoying (looking at you 100% call down and -1 stratagem).
