I've read from people here that difficulty 1-3 are more likely to spawn super credits, since on diff 4 and onward POI's tend to reward rare samples as well, thus reducing your chances of getting that sweet money.

This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that higher difficulty missions have more POIs than lower level ones, so it's a diluted spawn table but the map has more rolls on it.

I really don't find the 'destroy X automatons' missions fun at all, they're the only ones I hate. At this point I just bring strikes and barrages to them. I love the 40 minute missions and the blitz missions. Is there a way of gaming it so that I can get 3 of the kinds of missions I like? Otherwise I'll just run the 40 minute/blitz missions and skip the final one 'destroy X whatevers' but I suspect the pubbies might get mad.

The only reason to complete an operation is to get the third tier of bonus medals and to unlock the next difficulty if you haven't yet. Just pick the missions you actually want to play if you're hosting.

The odds of seeing an eradication in a 3-mission op are high but it's not guaranteed. In the absence of any weird missions like the current TCS shutdown, sometimes you'll get a blitz instead.

I've got the EMS turret and if nobody else has it it's a game-changer, better than the orbital laser if everyone else has enough 'boom'. At this point when I drop in my scout recon armour I can be sure that all of the pubbies will trigger bot drops, so I just call it ASAP and it helps the start-of-mission-pubbie-shitshow every time. The recon armour + the "move hellpods more" upgrade have made this game a lot easier.

Boosters definitely have some weird balance right now where the good ones are insanely good and the mediocre ones are comically bad. Like half of the booster lineup might as well not be in the game. I’d probably only consider Stamina and Muscle Enhancement absolutely mandatory, but HSO and Vitality are just so head and shoulders above the rest of the remaining options that they may as well be.Jerkface posted:Can you expound on this? Like by way of example? Right now each player in the squad chooses a booster... 90% of matches right now will be “HSO/Vitality/Stamina/Muscle Enhancment” and the other 10% will have someone saying “hey you should pick one of those 4 stop running localization confusion.” You technically have choice but the actual outcome is insanely narrow.

i never liked the booster system tbh. its inherently biased against smaller teams, and some of the boosters (like the muscles one) just straight out eliminate mechanics and texture from the game (ie bushes being hazards.) it also kind of greatly narrows the design space armors have. you could have armors that are good at some of the booster things, (like walking through rough terrain features) but not while the boosters are there.

Localization Confusion is incredibly good on small missions with automatic burst/dropship spawns because it slows them down. At least, probably. Some goons have posted that it does and when I started taking it it felt like it did.

Either you die so infrequently that it doesn't do anything for you, or you die so frequently that having the two extra stims isn't going to do much for you anyway. You can just call down a resupply right at the start of a mission to allow everyone to start their first life off with max resources without it, and for anything except very-frequent deaths afterward the resupply will most likely be off cooldown. PoIs are also absolutely littered with ammo/stim/grenade packs. I agree that it should be a destroyer upgrade instead though because I'd love to see people stop spending a booster slot on it. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 22:55 on May 2, 2024 |

The only way to "reroll" an existing operation is to start it, then abandon back to ship once you're past the loading screen. I do this all the time if I get Eradicate Automatons or Scientist Rescue, because both of those types of missions are about as fun as loving a knife.

I don't die that often (outside of very funny missions) but I still like to start with the full package without needing to call down resupply or bother my teammates. I scavenge at POIs but sometimes theres no stims / grenades and thats very annoying. I just like being fully stocked. It should be a destroyer upgrade for sure. Starting with half stims and not full grenades and half mags is annoying even if its a negligible impact. Maybe its like an OCD thing. Also its very possible to run around using your stims without dying due to things like hunter tickles or diving off a rock head first and repairing chip damage etc And sometimes I'm by myself and wouldnt want to waste a resupply away from the team.

Just pick a planet and difficulty and search the map for your favourite missions. If they aren’t there check another planet or just wait a minute so it refreshes. When the mission is over just salute them and leave, and repeat. I haven’t played an eradicate in forever

I dunno what you're talking about, having a full complement of grenades every time you respawn is great for a die instantly on call down situation. That's pretty much the number 1 draw of space optimization.

mercenarynuker posted:So I have a UI question. At one point when I toggled my map, I could see the samples count (X/Y Commons, A/B Rares, etc). I rejiggered some settings at one point I think and now I can't anymore. I have had the Settings option "Sample Visibility" set to both Visible and Dynamic since then, but it still doesn't show the Samples count. Is that little counter tied to something else? I know it still exists, because my buddy has it on his, but we're stumped on what setting I need to enable/disable This happened to me. It has something to do with another ui element being set to static as well. Removing mission objective ui as static should fix it. Or something like that.

The Precision Orbital has more downtime per use (100s for 1 use versus the 500kg's 150s after 2 uses), but you can have its cooldown running while a different Eagle strategem is available, which you can't do with the 500kg. You can also bring both and kill every BT you see. Baby T. Love fucked around with this message at 23:31 on May 2, 2024 |

If you quit during a mission you should be given the traitor barrage the next time you drop, no matter where you are. Also there should be a big flashing (TRAITOR AND A COWARD) after your name so everybody knows what you did.
