SWEET LIBERTY!Rail Gun is mad useful for anything armored. Gave me the confidence to take Chargers head on and neutralize them quickly...unless it's night time cuz my eyesight sucks ass lol
I'm on PC. There is crossplay but PC players have to make and link a PSN account to enable it. I haven't bothered doing the link, so no crossplay for me.
I'm level 19 and a half. Should get 20 tonight. Been saving req so I can snag rail cannon immediately, hopefully railgun too.
I also highly recommend the shield backpack. Super game changer against robots and even against insects, they swarm you and puts you within blasting radius of mortar sentries. The shield really helps you survive against friendly fire lolThat's my planned #3 purchase. I doubt I'll have enough req saved to get all 3 as soon as I hit 20, though.
Mortars are great weapons as well. I now bring one on almost any mission. I'm a sucker for the orbital strikes though, so I generally bring 3 of them and a mortar.I hesitate with mortars on bugs. They'll run up on people and then your teammates get popped with the bugs. Great for automatons though.

I bring auto cannon on most missions for now. Does damage to armored enemies and pops smaller problems in a low number of shots, with plenty of ammo to go around.
If I'm not running auto cannon I'm probably rolling in with EAT spam and rover backpack.
Orbital laser is a must for now. Eagle rockets if I expect lots of heavies, precision strike otherwise. And I'll typically roll with a turret for more defensive missions.
Gonna change up a lot when I hit 20. I'll have to figure out priorities.
They also need to fix some of the orbitals. The walking barrage is one I try to use often but damn if that has a wild weird range. Same with the 380MM cannons, their spread is just insane. End up killing myself or my team more often than the enemies.I haven't even tried walking barrage, use case seemed small. I did try the smaller of the HE barrages and it was extremely dangerous even with that one, more so to the team than enemies. Can't imagine how much worse the bigger HE barrage is.

But yeah, general consensus seems to be balance is kinda bad. At higher tiers especially it's a pretty small subset of things that are even viable, much less good. Biggest weakness of the game at the moment, but there's murmurs from the devs of a buff heavy balance patch in the works.
Breaker/Auto PistolSpeaking of...
Autocannon Sentry/110mm Rockets/Grenade Launcher/Depends on the mission.
Game is fun, I can see the end of the tunnel after like 20 hours or so as far as how thin the content is. But the loop is engaging, the combat is great (I prefer bugs over terminators, though.) and the maps are a nice enough variety.
Wish it had more from the first game. Looking forward to Galactic War 2.0 with the missing features, plus apc's, mechs, and the missing guns.
Finally found a light armor with +2 nades in the shop...trouble is that it's tan and red and the helmet that comes with it is mad ugly ;(Fashion over stats lol Every mmorpg and Souls player knows this struggle
Fashion over stats lol Every mmorpg and Souls player knows this struggleHaha I know. I have a nicer looking +2 nades medium armor but I like the speed lighter armor provides. Also because armor is glitched currently and it doesn't matter what weight you're wearing

Hopefully, the glitch doesn't get patched soon. Or if it does, hopefully the armor gets more balancedArmor as a stat is weird in this game. You can see the effects in that you can take a hit at max health and your health doesn't go down. I feel like this glitch would've been easier to spot and the armor stat would feel more impactful if they overcharged your health meter based on the armor you have left.

I'm not a fan of nerfs. The breaker and shield is not too bad, but the railgun nerf just screams artificial difficulty. Especially with the reports of PC players testing it out already and saying it's pretty shit against Chargers and Bile Titans now.Motherfucker....I was saving up for it, now it's not as good? Any idea what a great substitute would be? Be using the expendable AT a lot, and the recoilless rifle
I have a gimpy hand so I wish stratagems were a toggle instead of a hold.I think you can customize that in the settings. PS5's controller customization was bugged the fuck out for a while, not sure if it still is. Try it and if something bugs out immediately reset your controls before exiting the menu or else it's a whole thing to get them to reset.
The flamethrower takes down chargers really fast now. Apparently does nothing to bile titans though.
So I learned I suck today. I've been relying on shield pack far too much. I tried out the rover after the patch since apparently the shield was nerfed, and I died a LOT.
EAT is alright. Single use and I feel like I have shit aim with it compared to the railgun lol. Also I keep hearing people say I can squash a Charger by throwing the deploy beacon of the EAT onto it but...twice I've tried and it never sticks to the Charger. One was literally motionless and the beacon literally bounced off it lol.To get the beacons to stick, you have to hit it somewhere that isn't covered in armor. Either the ass, or one of the legs after you blow the armor off.
If you're using mouse and keyboard and haven't rebinded your stratagem call downs to arrow keys/mouse buttons, you're doing yourself a disservice.That's brilliant
