deep dish peat moss posted:Or just one person with a laser cannon A quasar has tends to have a lot of downtime to quickly deal with 4+ of them solo, or more if your What would be nice though is if people refrained from aggroing the gunships until after our 5+ dropships alarm and shooting at random bases was cooled down somewhat. Having to deal with a land and air assault leads to stupid losses.

All enemies will target hellbombs if they aren't actively engaging a player, it seems high on their priority list. They will even smash your resupply boxes if they can't find anything better to do. I think it's cool, I enjoy seeing berserkers angrily kick over my fascist ammo crate.

Muscle Enhancement booster prevents slowdown during sandstorms and blizzards so it's pretty much a must-pick for those planets. Lets you get a lot done while enemies are blind.

Someone mentioned earlier that they joined a blitz map just as the existing player(s) we're leaving and got that Gone In 360 Seconds trophy. I decided to try for it solo on a bot map and after sprinting from one factory to the next and then to the extraction zone, I popped an SOS and had three people join before we all left. Hopefully at least one or two of them got the trophy along with me

I just got gone in 360 and the no deaths on extreme cheevos too. Basically was a bunch of bases clustered near the extract, so I dropped a walking barrage on the extract base, an orbital laser on a heavy base, an eagle on a mortar base and a second eagle on a random light all in about a minute. Randoms were finishing off clearing the extract point, we triggered it and zoop. Mazerunner fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Apr 7, 2024 |

Yeah that's definitely not an alleged bug, that's exactly what happens. It's very obvious when you join into to a quick play mission with one person in it but three of the boosters are greyed out.

I keep to easy (2) missions, solo, since I'm not a joystick junkie.. I had to do the 2nd half of a 4 mission solo, when the team I had called it a night. It was 25 minutes of find hulk, Run around like chicken with head cut off because it's constantly firing missiles at me, fire at it, doing no damage, try to set up the hellbomb to kill it, only to have the Hulk shoot the hellbomb. Rinse, repeat, curse (loudly), repeat, curse (even louder) etcetera (yes, I know you're supposed to shoot the glowy stuff on the back.. I couldn't GET at it!)

Bring a support weapon that can damage its eye, like the AMR, or anti-tanks. If you're really stuck with low level gear you can kill them with the orbital precision strike; if you can unlock the EMS strike as well you can stun it so it stays still for you to shoot it or call in an orbital/airstrike, otherwise you'll have to lead your throw. Shooting it in the back is rarely something you'll be able to do solo, they will be facing you. (I know this doesn't help retroactively win that mission for you, but for the future, if you're solo, don't count on being able to backshot them).

Does the AMR sight's offset change depending on the range you set it at? I'm having a lot of trouble with this crosshair, i know it's "off" but I can't seem to find the sweet spot for reliable shotsLobok posted:So Durgen is uh, not fun. Several minutes each mission when you just can't see a drat thing.

Someone became upset at me because both the health booster and the stamina booster hadn't been selected and I was sitting on the muscle booster. But I completed a level eight 'destroy the control tower' when a sandstorm appeared by just walking in, doing the objective and walking out. The bots didn't even notice

Yeah, as long as someone has the muscle booster in play to counter the sandstorm's slow walking, I'm always happy for it to happen.

As long as you're not bringing something useless like the reinforcement boosters (or worse, nothing) I don't really mind which boosters get brought.

Saw my first factory strider waiting at extraction, we agreed to leave it and come back at the end, when we came back it was gone. I hope it's safe out there somewhere, wandering the sands.

there is a bug allowing robots to see you when they shouldn't during sandstorms. i think that they need to have spotted you before it starts and the accuracy penalty is still applied

Lobok posted:So Durgen is uh, not fun. Several minutes each mission when you just can't see a drat thing. Durgen is amazing and lovely. It looks great, and when the storm comes in you can be 10 feet away from bots without either you or they knowing about it. It adds genuine tension to missions that are otherwise a bit samey.

Yeah we were able to sneak around groups of heavies like feet in front of us during a sandstorm on Durgen to give them the slip. It felt real cool to pull off and the storm subsided just as we were out of their detection range.

Does anyone think the armour perks will get mix 'n' matched at some point? Would especially make the Super Credits shop a lot more interesting if the perks were more randomized or shaken up. I mean unless they have been and I've missed it.

Hellpod capacity, stamina booster, and muscle enhancement seem to be the clear top three boosters, especially if you're running extra stim/grenade armor. Muscle enhancement is maybe more variable, with it being both better against bugs and invaluable on planets with deep snow/sand/sandstorms, but when it helps it really helps. E: vvvvv didn't know that, that does make it seem more valuable. Still less than the other three though. Ravenfood fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Apr 7, 2024 |

It is pretty awesome how radically different Bot missions feel vs Bug missions Bugs you're getting the full Starship Troopers experience of trying to constantly make space/hold the line while frantically switching from target to target Bots you feel like a true commando team sneaking around and making precision strikes against big facilities before disappearing back into the terrrain
