Lol pulled off a challenging against the robots with two dead and no respawns. The Uzi rules

The robots are fun as hell to fight. Terminators in 'Nam is a hilarious idea. drat if this game doesn't set my pc on fire though. It's riding the redline the whole time for some reason

Thanks for this. Was wondering why the stats seemed worse for not seemingly doing much.

Separate question: Has anyone found Heavy Armor to be worth it? I've found outrunning bugs in light armor to be more useful personally.

Light armor for bugs, normal or heavy for robots imo

This game is more fun than darktide but I never gave a poo poo about the cash shop. Who cares if there are whale items, you don't need them to enjoy the videogame.

Recoilless rifle the leg, auto-shotgun the same leg. They go down pretty easy on Hard like that at least, haven't unlocked up to Helldive

N-thing this experience for escort missions specifically, we failed them even on Easy/Medium difficulty, yet we were able to complete any other mission type (both automatons and bugs) on Challenging/Hard.

The bot drops are just way too frequent, we literally did not have the firepower to keep up with the spawns.

It spawned dreadnoughts on us the moment we stepped out of the pods and it went downhill from there lmao

It was a fun losing experience at least

The Major Orders are community-wide missions. They are not missions specifically for you (those are the Minor Orders). The counter will only tick up if the community as a whole succeeds in a defense campaign.

Is it me or is the "killed by" indicator wrong about 80% of the time? I catch a rocket to the face from a robot and it says a teammate killed me. I run into a mine and I killed myself (which, technically is true, I guess), my own sentry kills me and it says I died by Impact.

It's wrong and the friendly fire damage counter is also wrong. Robot chainsaws you? A teammate did it. A teammate walks into my mortar strike? 0 damage listed at the end of the game. We were goofing around and a buddy just blasted me with a shotgun right before evac came in and the game didn't note it at all lmao

Kill counts also don't seem to count strategems, but it does count their accuracy or something. We did a mission to kill 135 automatons, succeeded and left. It thought we killed like 50 and I had 20% accuracy (I did not miss 80% of my shots with the marksman rifle lol)

Yeah, mission drops are 10 each. I was running easy missions for a bit yesterday and getting a few each mission. Not super fast, but fast-ish and definitely easy. Speaking of, I got the stamina booster yesterday and it makes a big difference!

Oh nice I didn't think to look on solo easies. Btw are credit drops shared? When I picked some up it didn't alert my friends and vice versa
