The spear is working "better" but even they admit it's not actually fixed yet.NoEyedSquareGuy posted:Arrowhead looking to win back their good will by introducing flying stalkers. this would be a really fun time to drop the illuminate actually for real this time. Hell they even kind of look like PS5 Robots Sure they'd be a little under-baked, but that's not an uncommon thing in this game lol

Hwurmp posted:Scorcher is also great vs. bots, and Diligence Counter Sniper after the latest buffs. Autocannon can't shoot down dropships but it can kill most of the passengers, which is more effective. Anti-Materiel Rifle makes a solid alternative if you crave the backpack slot, although it can't kill fabricators. Away all Goats posted:AC can't destroy dropships. You're better off shooting at the exposed passengers. yeah i meant ACs were completely ineffective... bad choice of words. i'll try out the scorcher and the sniper rifles. does sniper rifles damage gunships or no? i ended up taking scythe, airburst, precision strike, stun grenades into a hard mission.. felt pretty good except i can't do anything against gunships so i'll probably have to look for something else. but airburst was really good at softening up large patrols or dropships as they were dropping, especially when waiting until both unload to fire the rocket.

I tried the Spear the other night and it locked onto a bot factory first try and I got excited, and then I figured out it was a fluke. It's still a weapon for the specialists only.

Sniper rifles gently caress Gunships up. It takes a couple of hits to their engines, but that's not hard to do if you're prone or crouched, and you can do it from outside their aggro range.

two of my teammates were taking autocannons against bots so I thought I'd roll with arc thrower to diversify and take more of the close range clear role my hubris was punished by the dreaded double gunship + jammer drop. I'm sorry autocannon baby I'll never leave you again

Hard agree, it's a tool for every problem.Insert name here posted:Can't wait to use the new AR and be 1 of 3 people who likes using it Yeah we need a new poll every warbond where we can vote on which of the new guns is going to be weirdly lovely. I vote that they're going to gently caress up the charge laser somehow because that's the one I'm looking forward to the most.

I thought autocannon could take out a drop ship, at least I've seen the sentry version do it, it just takes a ton of shots so doesn't seem worth it. Also is taking down dropships even worth it? Always seems like everything survives and then you just have a crashed drop ship in the way

was faster to clear this one than it took a lot of our actual major orders lolboz posted:I predict it will run into the inside of the shield like the plasma punisher. the only reason I doubt this is because I don't think it does AoE, otherwise how would you kill yourself with it? Unless it does, then you're boned lol

that could also be from the electricity weapons just deciding not to work sometimes for whatever reason. Shooting the arc thrower across a flat, empty plane and it dissipates against a particularly large air molecule.

yeah i've had times where i've looked at a bile nurse bug and while it isn't spewing it keeps coming at me to melee even though i've shocked it a bunch of times. also hunters have seemingly dodged close range attacks. this game is kinda.... buggy!

Shooting the arc thrower across a flat, empty plane and it dissipates against a particularly large air molecule. the issue seems to be that it arcs to the object closest to you, whether that be a dead bug, an ammo pack, a piece of lint, whatever. i'm not sure what exactly it interacts with but it's a whole lot of stuff other than active enemies.

I dunno, if you watch the warbond trailer, the second time you see it shoot it seems like a big aoe effect on the walker where it hits. Timestamped here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcnzI0gN7z4&t=44s

They're going to have to earn my trust after the "Explosive" Crossbow. I was so hyped for that thing. VVV yoooo could be a glitch, like an environmental spawn has the wrong flag, but if they're implying joint bug/automaton missions (or 3-way fights!) that's a cool angle I haven't thought about until now. Would do a lot to mix things up until the illuminate are ready too

The sentry autocannon can kill every enemy in the game, including dropships and bile titans and factory striders, in a small number of shots. It is absolutely not "the autocannon, but on a turret" and they really need to indicate the difference more. imo they should rename them 20mm autocannon and 30mm autocannon or something.

Oh, armor reduces fire DoT now. No wonder it felt like way more than a 15% damage reduction when in medium armor against bots. Though the hulk flamethrower will still instantly drop you sometimes. Must be able to headshot. Sindai fucked around with this message at 07:07 on May 6, 2024 |
