This game is great but I am getting real tired of not being able to complete missions due to disconnects 75% of the time.

I've played with ports and my firewall, any suggestions?

Literally can't complete a single mission all night because of constant disconnects

Unlocked the Dominator, and not sure why I don't see people using it more, especially against bots.

You can single shot all little guys, and then devestators all only take one shot to the head to take down as well.

Also I pretend I am using a 40K boltgun.

i want to like the dominator more but it just falls short of the slugger in every way that counts imo

I haven't got the slugger yet but aiming for it next.

The mechs are in the same area as sentries buffs, anyone have the +50% ammo capacity upgrade and can confirm their mech still has 1000 rounds or 1500?

Now I want a hand held minigun with its own ammo backpack.

I figured this was the case when everyone was running railguns and focusing different legs. They clearly have multiple health bars or something to that effect.

Wish there was a rejoin game button. I've seen others disconnect and rejoin shortly after, I assume that someone else in the game is their friend though and you can just join friends games.

There's a Recents tab under Social, but it doesn't work properly I think.

I tried using that but didn't see anyway to join the game, only add them as friends.

whats the deal with the spear? is it just to trick people into suiciding while it fails at locking on?

it seems like it could be pretty neat, i got it to lock on to a drop ship and blew it out of the sky but it seems to suck royal bot dong at locking in general

When it does lock on it is quite good.

If you can get a Bile titan to turn to you, you can reliable one shot them in the dome with the Spear.

Did manage to get into a game and complete the whole thing but stuff is still borked pretty good.

Picked up a medal and just stood there for a good 30 seconds while a brood queen sniffed my face Aliens 3 style.

Yeah, you really don't want to be turning at all while firing the rocket in the mech, its extremely easy to murder yourself. Just gotta hold still while you let those off. That being said, they're really fun to use.

Or just remember to only turn left.

Give exosuits a self-destruct button but make all exosuits explode like a hellbomb no matter how their hp gets reduced to zero :getin:

I miss-read, agreed.

The solution to disconnects may be to just launch the mission by yourself? Had a bunch of people join a level 3 gently caress around mission and slowly but surely everyone dropped off except myself.

A nice thing about the mech it seems not everyone has realized is that you can open up the map and just leave it open while still aiming/shooting as usual, for increased awareness of enemies.

I can't put pings down on my map without firing off my guns when in the mech.

Gotta love how the nerfed breaker can still kill a charger leg in one mag while the buffed spray and pray needs at least 1.5 mags.

I discovered the Redeemer pistol is quite good at mag dumping into chargers legs.

Hmm just got kicked from a game cause I tossed a resupply beacon and by accident it stuck to the host and crush them.

I found it funny at least.

lmao that's awesome. Didn't even know the beacons can stick to players. I know they stick to chargers.

Only if the player has a shield pack on. If they don't it just bounces off.

are there any spots on the charger that AC rounds won't bounce off while still doing damage? is hitting the ground near a leg going to help break the armor there, possibly?

butt, back of legs, think you can do a mouth shot when they lift their head up.

If you want this gangtag:



Notes/Rules:

1) Quote this post within the next 24 hours or so, cutoff time will be 14/03/24 9am UTC (you can of course buy the gang tag for yourself at any point, this is just for the freebies)

2) If you already have the max amount of gang tags (3) please tell me which one to remove to make room in your quote post.

3) Desire for this gang tag was way higher than I expected. If your only post in this thread is asking for the gang tag I am probably not going to queue one for free, apologies. I queue these up but admins still have to sign off on em and we're apparently discouraged from handing them out like candy :v:

Please sir, yes.

It's REALLY good, but simultaneously a huge disadvantage to not have regular explosive grenades if your support weapon is an RR or something and you've got medium-armor enemies bearing down on you, or if you need to plug bug holes or blow up fabricators. Pretty much the perfect sidegrade. I'd want one person in my squad to have them but probably just that one

I generally run the AC so I can get away with not having regular nades.

Just had a game where I stunned 3 chargers and dropped a SEAF artillery on all three, was pretty great

Whatever they did to 'fix' the mech blowing itself up with rockets, seems to have just made it worse? Now I just blow up with no turning involved.

If you're on steam and having stability issues try verifying the game files. For whatever reason every so often some files fail to verify and need redownloading. Solves my periodic issues with crashing and other weird things happening.

Good tip I did this and had 3 files apparently corrupt for some reason.
