i love the light stealth armor, but you really have to pair it with a team of NOT IDIOTS who know better than to instantly shoot at every patrol they see a hundred miles away and aggro everyone on the map aaaaaaaaaaagghghghghhhh also idk if it was a glitch or a hacker but in a game today a guy was throwing eagle airstrikes after the destroyer left.

Played a bunch of bots tonight and wow the counter sniper rips. Quickly picks off all the troopers at range so there’s not a ton of suppressing fire spamming at the team while dealing with devs and hulks. And ofc AC tears up the devs and hulks but the counter sniper takes out devs in a pinch. I switched to the +30% throw distance armor vs bots after thinking on how the key to bots is to blow them up as soon as the bot drop happens but a lot of the time the bot drops are out of throw range. Not anymore.

Sokani posted:Just had my first run in with Factory Striders. I was trying to shoot them in the face hole with the AMR, does that do anything? Both times they ended up dying to an airstrike but I'm not sure if I helped at all. Since different body parts have separate health bars technically it's a waste to be shooting the head and bombing the body, but unless you're on comms there's no way to coordinate quickly so might as well do what you can.

If you go prone and snipe at a distance with the AMR/AC they don't even know you're shooting at them

Horace Kinch posted:I hate blitz missions. 12 minutes isn't nearly enough time for me to effectively spread democracy. Blitz vs Bots is cool and good and feels like the first chapter of book Starship Troopers talking about the raid vs the Skinnies. Blitz vs Bugs is annoying as poo poo because you need to get your grenade or stratagems to land ~just so~ to make them close the nests while you're getting swarmed, because you can't stop to deal with the swarm fully, unless you go for the barrage and run route I guess.

It's really easy to drive by bug holes if you use anything other than impacts or grenade pistol. Precision strikes and 500s are also great for bug blitzes.

I did a mission, one where the map is divided by overhanging rock, started the mission, threw down my support weapon and some turrets, turrets came down but couldn't find my support weapon. It landed on the overhanging rock. Denying me a support weapon for half the mission.

Insert name here posted:Unlocked the Purifier and finally got around to trying it out The charge time is faster than it seems and you can release a tiny bit early and still get the shot off, just like the Arc Thrower. The Purifier and Arc Thrower's firing cadences are virtually identical as far as I can tell. Once you get the rhythm down it feels alright. The main perk of the Purifier is it's basically the Slugger 1.0 with splash damage - it has identical (excellent) stagger as the Punisher Plasma but at far longer ranges while still being forgiving with shot placement. It can stagger Devastators (including Heavy Devs through the shield) and kill them in 3-5 shots as long as you aim for their midsection. The splash radius and damage is enough to catch multiple troopers in patrols, and it's incredibly efficient with its magazine compared to the Scorcher and Plasma Punisher. I don't really like it for bugs, but it's quickly become one of my favorite weapons against bots. It has its problems, but it's perfectly serviceable. novaSphere fucked around with this message at 08:15 on May 13, 2024 |

Argas posted:Shriekers are too uncommon and the breaker does well enough against them. I also kind of prefer the breaker over the breaker incendiary. Standard breaker definitely has a tighter spread even though they're both meant for close range max spread it feels worse to whiff a lot with the incendiary variant. That said I did try out incendiary breaker on several bug missions and it puts it real good work, just amazing trash clear where the regular breaker is better at evaporating anything that gets too close. Sindai posted:Enough shots in the eye visor with a support weapon will kill them, but it's much faster to get close and shoot the belly. Either way take out the chin guns first of course. Yeah I feel like going for the belly doors takes out walkers the quickest but it's also the riskiest move especially if you haven't taken out those chin chain guns and there are any other bots around at all. Usually I end up taking them out by contributing to group stratagem spam, the only time I've taken them out by assaulting the face was with the laser cannon and that worked surprisingly well but I'm still not the biggest laser cannon fan in other situations. AC and RR are definitely my favorite bot support weapons. LCs good though.

Just had a mission with double double gunship towers right next to each other. The team was a little split up and I saw a couple of gunships heading off past me while the map was in the middle of a blizzard so I decided to beeline it in the direction they came from. Then the blizzard let up right as I got to the tower and there were four more ships hovering in the sky and two more about to come out, but we had activated a SAM PoI and one person brought a AC so the gunships were falling pretty fast. The instant I destroyed one tower I looked toward my closest teammate and saw them running up on the second tower, hadn't noticed it before that but it explained the sometimes six simultaneous gunships floating around for the last couple of minutes. Democracy bless that SAM outpost though, between that and a mate's AC I only got to take down a couple of gunships with the RR. I didn't even know if those things targeted gunships before now, I just always hit them up because they're good for taking out dropships. Spent the whole operation running around with the Purifier too and I'm still mixed on it. It definitely feels better than I initially gave it credit. Does okay damage to the back of a hulk but the counter sniper, all assault rifles, and most shotguns are probably still better there. Clears the tiniest bots fairly easily but I feel like it's easier to hit groups of them with the plasma punisher, purifier does have more range though. Not really all that great against devastators but it will stagger them until they eventually die, I was even able to stagger a pair of devastators a couple of times. I still feel like it might have the same hitbox issue as the plasma punisher on launch and other than that I don't really know what I would change about it to avoid making it too good. Maybe slightly faster initial charge, it certainly handles fine and reloads quickly, has enough ammo, aoe seems smaller than it's visual appearance but tbh it's size is fully capable of taking out 3-5 closely packed together raiders. It's pretty okay as is, might just be a preference thing.

they should make the purifier work like how the purifier was supposed to work. that would be pretty cool imo IIRC the gun fired remote detonation projectiles or whatever, it shot whenever you pressed m1 and the detonation happened whenever you released it. Holding m1 longer increased the damage of the explosion so you could rapid fire it if you wanted or use it to kill groups of bots that walked around a corner or charge it all the way up for brood commanders. idk what happened between the weapon previews being written and the gun being released turn off the TV fucked around with this message at 14:51 on May 13, 2024 |
