This game would be better if your support weapon and backpack didn’t take up a stratagem slot. or if they were combined into one. I’d like to be able to take more than 2 blow poo poo up on demand strats.

it'd trivialize most difficulties if you had 5 strategems. you can do 4 blow-upy ones RN if you have a buddy who can stay alive for long enough to let you mooch off their spawn cycles they aren't using for stuff, and by grabbing map-spawned specials.

it's a good time scrounging IMO, you don't fall into habits and you get more diverse experiences. the break-action shotty is v fun too

I want to like the slugger but it's the most finicky gun to hit things with sometimes

No I will not ADS

wait a tad bit longer between shots; you're missing because it's still kicking, even though the reticle is starting to settle.

I have a great map seed that generates 70 credits and ~12 medals a run with a group of 4 in about 80 seconds. Over the last few days off and on with people I made about 3.5k credits and 600 medals. I'm sure they are going to have to do something about this.

what is even the incentive to do this lol, there's not that much stuff to unlock and the game just throws money at you naturally.

Not gonna lie, I kinda hate the quasar on bugs. With bots it's a lot easier to find three second to charge it compared to having a charger running right at your face.

if you have a charger running at your face, just charge the quasar and blow the charger's head off. the quasar is absolutely incredible against bugs, you can just delete chargers at will.

This makes no sense to me and I love EATs.

When poo poo isn't under control you're still stuck waiting for EATs to drop or your path to your last drop has been cut off by a patrol, or a bile Titan is spitting on your pod, or whack geometry has your EAT call down bounce to the wrong side of a cliff or you stuck a charger with the call down and he's taking the pod off to la la land or ...

There are a host of potential issues with EATs being a deployable that don't exist with the Quasar. EATs are better sometimes and Quasars are better in others, but there are plenty of ways for a situation to get out of control with EATs.

yeah people are way overstating how hard it is to charge the quasar, even on bug helldives you have plenty of time to get shots off. even if there's a swarm of little nerds, your primary/a nade/airstrike behind you as you run will clear enough to get a quasar shot off.
