The new defense mission is pretty fun, but on 7 we had a really weird spawn pattern with 2-4 tanks every wave but literally 2 hulks the entire run. Bizarre. My only real complaint is enemies being dropped on the mesas around the base and stratagems like railcannon and rocket pods refusing to target them.

Giving tanks a death explosion delayed just enough to always punish hellpod kills with incredibly high kinetic energy was another stroke of genius.

The fact that a tank sized rhino bug can fuckin consistently stealth stomp right through and ragdoll my rear end a football field distance away is ridiculous. This is true of a lot of things. If I thought I got away from a pat sometimes I don't even notice the chainsaw guys until they hit me which feels... impossible for guys literally running around with chainsaws for arms.

AcidCat posted:I think the head is a myth. My shots just go under the charger or disappear harmlessly into its armor. They do a head shake animation before they charge, don't shoot at them when they do this. I think people get thrown off because angle of penetration is also a thing to consider. If they're rearing their head back you can't get the proper angle to one shot them, you need to wait until it's straight on, either from the side or front. You can also one shot bile titans but it's about 50% luck to get the window right, you need to hit them in the side of the head when they're spitting.

Last night my game had a 4th ship upgrade option for the Bridge category named something new but the function was the same as the 3rd upgrade, enhanced drop pod control. There was no price listed and it wouldn't let me purchase, but the picture displayed subtle cosmetic changes for the area in question. Seems like more ship upgrades are not far away.

If there's one fault you can lay on this game it's the sound. A lot of the weapons sound kind of anemic and stuff like huge bile titans can sneak up behind you without you even hearing them.

Most weapons are good, though I think like the dominator and scorcher both sound super wimpy and the scorcher LOOKS really wimpy too.

i feel like the automatons are more difficult to deal with than the bugs... everyone keeps talking about the quasar one shoting things.. but i'm shooting dropships and nothing seems to happen... i also thought i could take down fabricators.. i'm shooting it right at the vent and it doesn't go down... am i doing something wrong?

Dropships need to be hit in the engine pods. No idea about the Fabs, I think I've only ever gotten lucky once or twice.

You have to hit the engine of the dropship, and you have to get it right down into the vent, being elevated helps.

Killing a dropship is meant to kill it's passengers. A while ago there was a bug where the dropship would visibly despawn and the wreck would rocket across the screen to replace it. When they fixed the bug they seem to have broken the part where the passengers die. Now they mostly aren't harmed but are trapped under the ship, or bug out and go dormant but killable. It's a real shame, because killing a dropship before the cargo deployed felt amazing. Now it's mostly a waste of time.

The new defense mission vs bots is actually fun and (mostly) well designed. You will eventually get overwhelmed, EMS Mortar is the MVP. Note: do not call in anything near the generators. If those go down it takes a very long time to launch the rockets.

in my experience you need to kill the dropship BEFORE the enemy units spawn in underneath it - it will fly in empty, do its pull up to hover and then the units will appear underneath. if you start charging the quasar before you can see the dropship and then track it to hit a thruster, you will kill it before the enemies spawn, if you're too slow they will fall when it dies and you just have to hope that the ship takes some out when it lands

Dropships you have to hit in the big square engines, fabricators you want to hit just above the bottom lip of the vent. Tank and tower cannons you can get in two hits anywhere except right in the front armour. I think blasting the dudes with an autocannon while they're still in the dropship is more effective than taking one down with a Quasar. Still like the quasar with bugs but I switched back to the AC on bots. AC and sickle just gives you so much versatility and power, and I don't miss the shield that much, just have to be more careful with cover.

New tower defense mission is great. Finally landmines get a chance to shine! Landmines, mortar, autocannon, autocannon sentry, and I managed to clear a lvl 7 by myself since no one else ever joined despite the SOS.
