raverrn posted:I think the issue - and it's like the only thing dragging this game down, gently caress me do I love it - is the internal balance between weapons is pretty bad. Eh, 110mm is much more useful vs. Robots. It 1hko's tanks and the laser turrets. it could use a much larger target search area / being sticky to make it better against moving targets though. Actually it probably should also have 3 instead of 2 uses, since it's much more specialized than the 500kg or the bombing run also. So yeah not in a great spot tbh.

The Recoiless is very good... but like in the first game, it probably works best with 2 players using them... since they can double tap stuff and / or buddy load each other. I'm absolutely loving the autocannon though, it is really versatile and satisfying to use and the animations are extremely cool. It can kill bug holes in 1 shot. If you don't completely empty it, the reload actually isn't that long at all. The buddy reload functionality for it seems pretty pointless because of that, though.

Skyl3lazer posted:It's an Eagle equip, you get more uses if you send it back to resupply I'm aware. The point is that something that is very specialized (and not a total standout in it's role to boot) having the same number of uses between eagle rearms as something as generally useful as the bombing run or 500kg makes it hard to justify taking... especially when all the other specialized eagle call ins are a pretty excellent value for a slot since they cover a large area, and can be called in 3 or 4 times per rearm. explosivo posted:Did they fix the game yet or are people still losing rewards?

BastardySkull posted:Anyone know how to deal with those gently caress off massive cannons on the bot bases? I've seen people put rockets into them, grenades, cluster bombs etc. Is there a knack to it? They are loving lethal. Sorry if others have asked already! 110 strike actually kills these well. The longer the mission goes on the more active the enemy is, so yes it is spawning more patrols.

novaSphere posted:Man I dunno why people think the bots are harder than bugs. Stalkers and Bile Spewer spam is worse than anything the bots throw at you. I think it's mainly the shock of going from being dudes with guns vs. Primarily melee things to fighting an opponent that has the ability to punish you for staying in fights that are bad or starting them at a positional disadvantage. Also visibility on the jungle map is pretty bad. The bots have more tricks that make life harder earlier on like ecm / mortars / aa guns.

toasterwarrior posted:Also, just learned that the standard machinegun calldown is good: it punches through medium armor, which is basically the entire grown up bug category below chargers. Cuts down basic warriors, the hive guards that go into blocking stance, and even brood commanders. I've loved the Stalwart MG as a "primary" weapon but it does struggle against warrior waves so I guess it's time to retire it and be better about pacing my use of the MG. Only 2 reserve mags and a long, stationary reload stings like a MFer. Stalwart is in a weird place where it functions as an absurdly good primary weapon - but the opportunity cost of it taking up your 3rd slot and a strategem slot is also extremely hard to justify for something that offers no real versatility. I think it would work better as a call in that replaced your primary weapon - instead of a support weapon... even if they had to drop it's damage or magazine size down a bit. As far as the HMG goes, it is a good weapon - it's just overshadowed by the GL / Autocannon / Railgun because they are far more flexible in that they still dunk on Medium Armor, but can still be used to kill heavy stuff and close nest holes / blow up factories... IMO it should be combined with the support pack into one call in. Infidelicious fucked around with this message at 14:30 on Feb 13, 2024 |

Geckoagua posted:If I’m understanding right, the spitters bulbous back is all ‘weak point’ and weak point only gives you 10% more normal damage bonus, but explosive gets a huge bonus, so something like the explosive assault rifle should shred these dudes? Also charger butts? I need to test.. would be nice to have an excuse to use the MG or Flamethrower instead of AC/AM sniper/RR/etc. in slot 3. the Liberator Explosive is good vs. spitters for a Primary... but it's nowhere near as good at it as an autocannon EAT or RR since they are also explosive. I'm also fairly certain the breaker might out dps it even with the bonus. Infidelicious fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Feb 13, 2024 |

Radical 90s Wizard posted:It's cool, it's just not as good as the regular breaker, which is easily the best primary in the game It's significantly worse at killing patrols before they call in a breach / flare than the Liberator or Defender( Much less the Breaker) because it's range is complete poo poo. Honestly the only weapon in the warbond that is both fun and good for higher difficulties is the last one. Scoss posted:What's the deal with this game? The core gameplay loop is extremely well crafted; so much so that they've made a LOT of inexplicable and bad balance decisions that would be deal breakers otherwise. EX: The inexplicably accurate automatic shotgun has twice the damage per mag of the basic assault rifle - which has nearly 2x the damage per mag of the specialized variants of it. And one of your opponents is either melee dudes, or guys you can't hurt with a primary. Infidelicious fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Feb 20, 2024 |

Insert name here posted:Not on the discord myself but this probably stems from the lower player count expectations too lol. Like you don’t need a lot of channels if you're expecting the peak player count to be 1/50th of what it currently is, and only a small fraction of that is going to be on discord. They actually added the 3 general chats after release, and added a 5 minute cooldown to chat - it used to be one and moved so fast you couldn't read it. But it's really absurd they've made no attempt to direct or silo those chats into actual topics so they're usable... it's just like 60 disjointed conversations going on simultaneously because you can't actually have one when you can only respond every 5 minutes.

Nuebot posted:You don't unlock railgun until level 20, by hard to challenging difficulty I've had to fight off multiple titans at once and there's just a perpetual three to five chargers around at all times. 3-5 chargers on Diff 4/5 seems like you aren't managing to kill a single patrol before it alerts and causes breaches. - played a 6 duo last night and never saw more than 2 chargers at the same time because we were killing patrols fast enough. But I get preferring Bots to Bugs, it's a much more conventional shooter fight where cover and positioning matter more and their humanoid shapes make aiming easier. Bugs are all about constantly running and dodging and starting engagements with maximum violence of action since 90% of their dudes are melee. Section Z posted:I wish I never read wherever it was I saw somebody claim "The counter sniper isn't bad! Because it secretly has medium penetration!" The CS is hot garbage - even if it has medium penetration it doesn't help - because bots don't have armored heads and shooting them in the body is dumb and pointless.

Darox posted:I tried the Breaker and was thoroughly whelmed, but then I tried a bug mission with it and it's great there. It's good against every not-charger/titan bug type and being able to mag dump a Stalker to get it off you is incredibly helpful. Against bots it can help get the chainsaw dudes off you but most of the basic bots stay at mid range where it takes two shots to put them down and the SMG or Marksmen rifles are far better at cleaning up those groups of light bots. Breaker pairs well with autocannon vs. Bots you use it like a DMR and use the Breaker like a pistol if anything closes. Infidelicious fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Feb 24, 2024 |

The unsafe mode should be 5 seconds of overcharge that degrades in real time. IE: you get 5 1 second overcharges or 1 4.9 second overcharge. If it's actually unsafe you can buff the oc shots and make it have a high skill ceiling, even if it cooled down over time it would do a lot to make the railgun less oppressive vs. Other AT weapons.

BitBasher posted:If you are shooting non explosive bullets into a jelly like part that does the splashy animation when you shoot it it does 10% of normal damage. Explosive ammo does full to those parts. Same with green tanker bugs and such. Tbh this is pretty dumb and guns should do 110% and explosive should do 200% damage. Adjust HP upwards a bit to compensate for more incoming damage but that mechanic feels bad for both regular guns, and explosive tagged ones ATM. Doing less damage than you would if you just shot a leg feels bad and weird.

LuiCypher posted:Probably the most frustrating thing I see is the idea that there's one universal loadout that's First-Order-Optimal (i.e., it's the best possible loadout) for both bots and bugs. Breaker is fantastic against bugs - less so for bots. But I still see people taking Breakers against bots because meta brainworms dictated that it was "THE BEST" primary before allowing for any sort of nuance like "...against bugs". IMO, Defender and Slugger are better against bots than Breaker because they have actual range, accuracy, and power that you can use to your advantage. Breaker is great against bots if you are using an autocannon or AMR which are amazing vs. Bots at ranges the Breaker Isn't. It is much better vs. Berserkers and it is great at chain stunning Heavy Ds or staggering small guys launching flares, and does enough damage that hitting them in the face typically kills them. Been using the dominator and slugger lately and they're fun and good but require much more precise aim to get results out of; and if you're putting that kind effort you're better served by both the AC and AMR.

People who are 20+ also don't give a poo poo about req since they tend to have everything they want. If we've hit the main objective and found the butt plug I'll hit stuff near the extract but I'm not gonna be traipsing around the map just to find the last secondary or whatever. Secondaries should add medals and way more contribution at higher difficulty if they want people to do them.

I got crushed by a Titan I autocannoned in the face a couple nights ago, it's pretty awesome tbh. Icedude posted:The eagle rocket pods are incredibly valuable on higher level bug missions. They might not kill a charger or titan, but they'll usually strip off enough armor that you can easily finish them off with your primary. Not to mention you get two shots per rearm timer, three if you have all the eagle upgrades. I've actually been taking the grenade launcher out again because I can rely on those for the anti-armor work. eagle 110's actually synergize with the laser really well vs. bugs since they tend to hit and break the top armor, where the laser hits. The Spear really needs to 1 shot stuff period, it's just not reliable enough to be viable. The RR also needs to at least like 2 shot Tanks from the side and Chargers reliably from the front and kill them flat out if you hit the weakpoints... it's very unrewarding to hit a weakpoint and almost kill a tank, then watch an autocannon be able to just fire 3x into the same weakpoint and the thing blows up.

Bombing run will ruin chargers and titans, but it's admittedly tough to land. Having 5 delete this patrol or POI buttons is pretty useful IMO. Airstrike is not reliable or precise enough to be a real solution to chargers outside POI spawns, and those are the easiest ones to deal with support Weapons anyways.

A.) Buddy loads shouldnt need the backpack for the buddy loader. B.) 2 RR or EAT to the side of a tank or a single EAT or RR to the weak points of a hulk, tank or charger should kill it dead. C.)
