Can confirm EAT makes chargers much much easier. I stayed away from them because I don’t like the concept of disposable weapons, and I still feel like half the time I lose the second one in the chaos, but usually it only takes one shot. You also get a lot of them. Two per strat and it’s like a minute cooldown. You can’t use it to clear a base the way you can with autocannon, but it fucks up chargers and gives you a good chance against titans.

EATs are easily in the running for the best support weapons in the game and they always have been, even before they one-shot chargers. People see "disposable" and think "oh I only get one at a time??" but you actually get two, and the cooldown is only 70 seconds by default so you can just pump them out constantly, and since you don't need a backpack to take advantage of having so many shots like the regular recoilless, you can bring other fun stuff like guard dogs or jetpacks. EATs rock I wish the anti-tank mines won the community thing, though I knew there was no chance in hell. Even if they didn't do the usual arrowhead thing and push out a barely functional Airburst too early, I still think the AT mines would have been way more useful. Never stood a chance being locked behind the fire tornado planet, even outside of the other option being a giant rocket launcher. Babe Magnet fucked around with this message at 00:57 on May 4, 2024 |

Flair posted:I am pretty sure people are generally this mad about having to create another account or if there is another hurdle to playing a game they bought especially if it was not strictly enforced the first time. This time, it just happen to be announced and enforced in a recent game that is still popular, so we get a collective outcry and review bombing. If Sony enforced this requirement 5 years later, players will still be mad, but there will be significantly fewer players during that time, so there will probably be no publicity about it. Personally I think it's largely because the wretches on social media who make their living giving entitled fools a daily dopamine hit of anger noticed how popular this game is and have been ginning up controversies since day one so they can get more of that capital G Gamer monetisation.

Anyone got any good loadouts for solo (or duo) bug diving? I feel like I'm extremely comfortable on bots with autocannon, airstrike, wildcard extra strat, laser, scorcher, redeemer and stun grenades (can switch out the scorcher for a few different options, don't really rely on the primary when I'm using AC) but I'm never sure what to pick for bugs. I feel like I need a to take quasar or EAT for heavy armour and I don't have a primary weapon I'm totally happy with, especially without laser dog to help thin out the smaller stuff and that already feels a little sad to take over shield backpack considering how good it is for avoiding hunter slows. One big problem I find is that when I find a loadout that works, it either works against bile spewers or the jumping scavenger variants, rarely both.

it actually doesn't affect me since I had to recently make a PSN account for some other game, but I've got friends who really enjoy playing this game who are likely going to be locked out soon for no reason, so as much as it pains to be on the same side as a bunch of hyperbolic weenies that I don't care about, never heard of, or read the opinions of anyway I'm still gonna have to say Sony sucks for this.TopHatGenius posted:I mean, I hate it all. Having to have multiple accounts to play a game due to having to log in via Steam then uplay/origin/epic/whatever Yeah everyone's like "what's one more service you have to sign up for" as if they haven't been saying that exact thing every time another one rolls out. How many times is "one more". At least for PSN we don't have to worry about the service dying in a decade like Origin and Uplay hopefully lol

Away all Goats posted:It is possible to 2-shot Titans with a RR/EAT/Q to the dome (same place as the Charger weakspot): Used to be able to do this consistently but it hasn't been working lately. Also is harder with the quasar nerf. I'll try EATs again but I hate not having them when I need them. There's just nothing on the bot front that will gently caress up your day like three bile titans can on the bug front. Three tanks is nothing, even three factory striders you can probably get down to manageable with a laser and a couple airstrikes. There's just not enough stuff that can reliably take down multiple BTs on a reasonable cooldown. If you get unlucky you can sometimes be facing 5 at once on helldive.

Yeah their tracking is crazy too.LazyMaybe posted:found the problem yeah my go to has been concussion grenades or just jetpacking away and letting someone else deal with it lol. There are so many on higher difficulties though. Strafing run's good for them too, but it feels like every patch it gets worse; I can count on more than one hand the amount of times I've seen the run go directly over a big pod of spewers and not kill a single one, when it used to annihilate things. When (if...) they ever fix the DoT issue for non-hosts, the napalm will probably be pretty good for stuff like that.

I used the Adjudicator for a week and got used to it, but I went back to the Dominator today and boy does it feel good to be back to a weapon that's so effective. Its only problem is it won't stagger a stalker in your face.

Quasar or EATs is mandatory, laser dog still does a lot of work keeping hunters off you. I can't put down the eruptor just because it handles spewers easily and you can take out heavy bug nests without having to get inside the bowl and trigger any spawns. It also one shots stalkers which is very helpful. You really need either the 500kg, railcannon or precision strike to take out BTs, I usually take airstrike as well because it's very versatile. I also like stun grenades to make chargers totally trivial, and as a panic button for getting more distance from a swarm. Shield pack I never found that useful because if you have hunters up in your face it goes down in 2 hits anyway and then you're back at square one and the hunters are still there. I also take senator to shoot close stuff but redeemer works great too.

I don't know if it's me being so jetpilled but imo you should definitely look into bringing the jetpack with you on solo trips. There are so many little things you can do to avoid big hassles, so many high places to hide or navigate, being able to jump up and down small ledges to escape being surrounded, etc. that make surviving way easier. But yeah agree on eats or the quasar being mandatory since you're never going to have enough stratagems up at any moment to keep the big boys down.

It not only has less range and spread but it does less damage too, I'm sure. I eventually had to learn to just not shoot the arc thrower if you can see someone else's name tag on your screen lol Me and a friend figured out that you can rock the 90% resistant armor and the other one can use the arc thrower to bank shots off of you and get more range. it's not super useful in a vacuum but if everyone's wearing the armor and everyone's using arc throwers, you can have a good time. It's loud as poo poo though lol Babe Magnet fucked around with this message at 01:35 on May 4, 2024 |

Tom Tucker posted:Inside of Bile Titans mouth should be a weak spot for all weapons yeah i agree. i saw the arguments about the most armored spots holding the most important bits but if we’re gonna play real life logic its open mouth is not armored at all and is a direct route to vital organs. a spitting bile titan should be weak to all weapons in its mouth. name some animals that are not severely incapacitated when ordinance is fired directly into their open mouths they clearly want bile titans to be tougher to kill than that so i guess that’s why it doesn’t work that way
