It's a bummer because it makes me not want to run my own ops higher than like 5-6.

It would rule if the mech had a kamikaze button but you have to manually get out, so if you're distracted or confused it charges and explodes with you in it

Is there any use for the mine strategems aside from teamkilling your squad? Seems like something I only see from new/low level players since it's one of the cheaper strategems low on the tree you can get early. Have had fools mine half the extract pad, or put big minefields around the map. I could maybe potentially see it in a defense mission but it seems like in every case napalm or sentries or literally anything would be better.

Sagebrush posted:I played one match with a pubbie who ran into a swarm of bugs as I tossed out a cluster bomb and he died. He whined on voice about teamkilling and I typed back "sorry man. it happens." We had like 17 reinforcements so who cares. He waited until the end of the mission, shot me just before I got into the pelican so I failed to extract, and then kicked me as soon as we got back to the ship. What a little bitch lol Had one tk me in back of Pelican, tried to spray others, but had too few rounds in mag so kicked em before he continued. Nice way to finish a set of 9's together -_-

Zwabu posted:Is there any use for the mine strategems aside from teamkilling your squad? Mines would be a lot more useful with a much faster calldown time tbh -- right now they're only effective if you can drop them and then lure enemies through it, but if you have that kind of flexibility you're probably better off just bypassing the pod entirely. They should be a viable panic button if something's chasing you *now*

Zwabu posted:Is there any use for the mine strategems aside from teamkilling your squad? They are very good at the new defense mission. You don't need to worry about firing angle, cover, or any of the other things you need to think about with sentries in order to make sure that they can actually do work before getting blown up by the enemy. Just toss them outside the main gates where the enemies are guaranteed to funnel through and they will blow themselves up for little to no effort on your part. My favorite defense mission loadout is now 2x minefields, mortar sentry, and EATs. Lot of explosions, lots of craters, lots of disposable rocket launchers to pass around the team!

Mines need to be bigger with less mines and bigger booms. That way your teammates can actually see them and half of your minefield doesnt go off to 1 scavenger. Give us automaton mines.

I have had one great gameplay moment with the mines: I was being swarmed by three chargers and a shitload of hunters, low health and no stims left, and all my strats were on cooldown. I saw another player's minefield and dove into the center of it with two dozen bugs right on my heels. I died, but it decimated the swarm.

Does an EMP blast from the mortar nullify the mines or temporarily disable them?

Ice Fist posted:Don't know how many people here play with randos like me, but has anyone experienced an issue where when they start and launch a mission you'll get 3 immediate people, but then once they DC/leave/whatever no-one else joins. It's like a surefire thing where nobody will join on me unless I quit out and restart the game. This used to super common back when the servers still had queues to get in. From what I can tell they've mostly fixed the issue, but it can be difficult to tell if you're bugged or if nobody is particularly interested in that specific planet+difficulty(+mission). Just make sure the host throws down the SOS and hope for the best. As long as the remaining players are competent you can duo or trio most missions. And if they're not competent enough, that 4th person may not even be enough to make up the difference at all.

The secret best strat for being overwhelmed on eradicate missions is running outside the map edge until the timer goes off. You'll be branded a traitor, and they'll throw 380 rounds at your general area until you die, but you can get a lot of running (and, therefore, killing) done in that time.

The first game had an upgrade for the mines that made them armor piercing, and that made them pretty great, especially for covering a retreat. They're really missing that right now, since the things they currently kill aren't hard to kill with a primary and grenades anyway.

CullenDaGaDee posted:Anybody have good advice for surviving extermination missions when you have less than a full team? They spiral out hardcore once your deaths start rolling in, and the only way I've find to at least keep the objective moving is to deliberately go traitor and let the orbital strikes against you thin the herd. 380/laser/ORC/cluster bomb. apply gratuitously and remember Maxim 20: If you're not willing to shell your own position, you're not willing to win.

Potentially we might be able to do a 'Martale Gambit 2.0' if we flip Charon Bay (and Martale?) cutting off Choepessa and Charbal.

I feel like Estanu is just absurd. The Incredibles were right. As for the strategem bloat that we have already, there REALLY need to be more categories. I have taken the wrong strategem on accident as is too many times. Last night, I took a ballistic shield down with me.

Pubbie Eradicate update. Went in with a bugged lobby and spoke to the host before the mission “hey the last time I did this some dudes shot me do you care about all barrages?” “Man why are you making me talk I don’t care gently caress them”

Sindai posted:The ballistic shield is incredibly good It's pretty good against bugs too - completely stops spewers from hitting you if you face away, stops hive guards and other medium-sized bugs from hitting your back, and can even stop chargers if they're near the end of their charge and slowing down. Not an S Tier pick like it is against bots but definitely not bad, I'd say it's better against them than the energy shield at least, especially since you'll generally be facing away from any bugs that hit you anyway. Unless Hunters are what you struggle with, but if that's the case you're better off with a laser dog than a shield anyway. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Apr 23, 2024 |

Gun dog vs laser dog, look at the left side - the shield icon shows 3 bullets or a laser icon (---*)

Thankfully once you have everything unlocked, everything is in the same spot every time so its easy to go pick your favorites. I'm not saying that having "loadouts" or icons on your favorites wouldnt be an improvement. I guess I'm saying I'm not sweating it because I'd rather the devs spend their time on better gameplay and fixing bugs. edit: having loadouts (e.g. Bug Quasar, Bug EAT, Bot AC, Bot AC alt1, Bot AC alt2, Bot AC alt3, ect) and being able to tier/order my squad boosters so it automagically picks the top one from my list that is not already selected would be preeeeetty sweet.
