Put in some time with the airburst rocket launcher on bot 9s and that gun is real good in that niche. One shot beats the hell out of patrols or bases, usually clears all the raiders and a chunk of the devastators. Then you can hide behind a rock while you reload or switch to primary to plink off survivors. Only having to show yourself out of cover for a tiny window to deal damage is just so drat good in the poo poo show firefights that play out in high difficulty bot missions.

If you haven't tried the airburst since the pre-patch suicide gun version, give it a shot. Although it's dubious against bugs since they're always closing distance.

For all the discussion about linking PSN account to a Steam HD2 account, it's not actually clear to me how you do it.

I have a PSN account. From HD2 (windows version) I go to options, and there was, somewhere, an option to link to PlayStation account, either via a QR code or clicking a link. The link goes to Sony's site but when you click "continue" it says Thank You but I was never logged into my PlayStation account so it's not clear anything happened.

Furthermore when I go to the PlayStation site and log into my account there's a tab for "Linked Services" but it doesn't show Steam, just some social media streaming services.

However, the place to setup the link in the HD2 options menu appears to be gone, so maybe the process is complete, but it's not at all intuitive how to do it and how to be sure it's been done.

They removed the option to do so a while ago sometime during/after the "Great Server Fire of 2024". So it just adds another laughable dimension to the whole thing because you literally can't link your accounts right now despite everything. You can only just have the account ready to go if you didn't link it during the period when you could. Just another thing that was totally not communicated during the announcement that should have been.

Has anyone noticed a stealth buff to the 500kg's AOE? I'm hearing reports of an noticably increased damage radius - not like 50% wider, but still significant.

Yes. Ever since the patch that shook up all the weapons it seems to have a much larger AOE for me. I've dropped it and got over a dozen kills, and I've seen it kill bile titans and chargers that I was sure were out of its range. I've also had it hit me or knock me back when I was sure I was safe.

I had played 1,6hrs during last 2 weeks, so it was natural to uninstall the game and categorize it as junk. I perhaps got my money's worth, but it's sad to see the game go down in flames like this.

I used this on an egg mission and was able to clear one of them just firing this into it twice from a long distance away. Felt nice.

The other two we had to run in and finish of like 10 eggs

I mean, we'll see in steam charts in 2 weeks or so, but I wager it won't be too much of a dip, especially when they release the 3rd faction. Really sucks for Arrowhead, but I don't think Sony will be moved at all by the backlash.

It's Sony, they don't give one flying gently caress.

This is probably exactly what is going to happen. Arrowhead is taking the brunt of this bullshit because Sony is a garbage company.

I really don't care about any of this, but you do kind of have to be a loving idiot to think that they would have responded in any way beyond 'Break Sony TOS' had there been no backlash.

blitzer takes a little too long to fire after the last shot for my tastes for bugs, but it's not strong enough/doesn't have enough range for bots. I want to like the gun a lot, but I don't lol

Haven't ever used it for bots because of the range but I like it against bugs. Infinite ammo stagger is really nice and because you don't need aim it's perfect for stopping all the little guys in mid-air when they jump at you.
