Took ages to get on tonight. Did three missions and none of the progression saved, no XP, no requisition, no medals :(

It should show up later, there's just a delay.

It's a mobile turret. If it could call stratagems, it would raise utility.

yeah mech suit is just a mobile combo turret, pretty useful imo.

Honestly I call the free one in whenever I need Pelican to fuck up a hot area <__< Not really for the actual walker itself lol. Not gonna use a strategem slot for it. Especially against the bots lol

I told my buddy I'd get this if he did. He got it and now I'm sworn by oath. Is it worth it for the $60 version?

Yea, pretty much not missing anything from the other version.

You can unlock the premium battlepass by just collecting the currency in-game and not spending any actual money, so I'm gonna say no. Just stick with the $40 version and maybe upgrade later if you want to.

Really digging the laser cannon being able to fire on the move without reloading and able to harass bile titans and chargers.

It should do some damage that bypasses armor imo. Like, if the beam on a unarmored spot does 48 damage per second, it should do something like 12 damage per second. I'd also put this idea on the Sickle laser beam rifle. And maybe give these weapons the ability to set enemies on fire

It's fine as is. Sustained DOT that could shred armor would be ideal, but it's pretty balanced as is.

I'm not saying use macros. More so with KB+M has the stratagem input binds the same as movement so you can't move while calling in stratagems. Higher level content will have you constantly moving so not that safe to be stopped for a second or two.

I find changing the menu from hold to press is enough. I'm fast enough with wasd it doesn't make a difference to rebind, and I don't like giving up my mouse to use arrows.

New patch today. Lowered the spawn rate of chargers and bile titans at higher difficulties and made EATs and Recoilless more deadly to chargers.

It sure does feel nice to kill a charger with a single EAT to the head.

Enjoy the mass waves of hunters now. Heavy/elite changes make it so EAT/RR are now beneficial to run and cost effective for timings.

Gonna be fun to try and score those OHKO headshots with the EAT but I'm blind AF so we'll see lmao

Oh god, there some kind of flying bugs now.

I kind of want to try this game out with all the hype it's getting.

They fly now

Fucking shit, my buddy threw us into an extreme stalker hive mission on accident. We're level 9...well 10 after that. Got carried hard by another duo of really good players, but fuck that was intense.

Been spending the day helping teams that call for SOS.

Man I need to start doing level 7+ again.
Need super samples so I can have the ultimate sentry guns

The higher in difficulty I get into the more I see the value of running the fuck away lol. It just sucks in pub games where I either can't be bothered to tell them to haul ass or they don't listen

That's why I'm hoping stun grenades are halfway decent. It's so much easier to just despawn patrols then fight for 5 minutes to go no where.

I kinda wanna be the smokey motherfucker with light armor that just avoids conflict and lays down smoke for getaways when I can but I can see random teammates getting annoyed at not being able to see anything lol

The smoke plants give the same effect if available. I'd rather keep my stratagems in an offensive or combo setup.

Yeah that's the other part of the struggle. Love splosions too much <__<

With the recent updates and patches, currently running Defender, incendiary nades, supply pack, EAT-17's, EMS Smoke, and Precision orbital/500 KG depending on the stratagem debuff then just littering the map with eat it's until the main objective is complete and supers are collected.

New Warbond Out!

New laser weapon is dope. Feels like an AR. Nice dakadakas. But as long as you don't overheat or whatever you can infinitely fire a single mag. Nice change of pace.

It's pretty much the same weapon from the first game. This makes me think that Justice will be really good when it's released.

What's Justice? :0

Also can't wait to unlock the laser pistol. Really need a different change of pace from the redeemer lol

Liberator's big brother. Less ammo in a magazine, but has medium armor penetration. Really strong against Illuminates. Breaker was really strong against Cyborgs, and Sickle was really strong against Bugs in the first game.

Time to start the long, slow climb back to 1000 super credits. I foresee a lot of Difficulty 2 SC farming missions in my future.

I've had to get creative with solo 7's since SOS beacons are so hit and miss.

I hit level 13 today, love this game. Feel bad I didn't start sooner. I bought the $60 version, and had $12 in my steam wallet and only needed 300 more coin for the new warbond so bought it for $5. I figure I'll have enough hours into this to make it worth the while.

The Sickle is sweet, my new primary for awhile!

It really is one of those actually good live service games where the devs do so good and show that it's such a passion project for them, that you don't mind spending a little more to support them. Hell, the game was $40 base anyways which is a damn steal compared to a lotta $60-70 games out there right now

I've heard you can switch some full auto weapons to semi, whats the keyboard button to do that?

I'm not sure but on controller it's hold down the reload button. Don't know if it functions the same for PC?

Just had a smooth ass run with a level 50 dude and their level 3 friend. That was fun as hell

Stun grenades are pretty broken when playing with a team. Being able to stun anything in place before dropping a precision laser/500KG is just the icing on the cake. Works well with cooking the grenade when stalkers are near you as well since they are stunned while teammates can just mow them down.

You're able to get a match right now? I've been getting "cannot connect" for the past twelve hours

I've been on for like 8 hours. Had two crashes. Need 40 rares and 1 super sample to unlock everything for the ship. Still another 1500 warbonds to go for everything in the passes so far.

Not playing with randos but with friends all night, no issues. Before that I played a few with randos though just fine.

If a player drops samples at extract, do not pick them up and carry them back across the map. Especially if there are 3 stalker lairs on the map. Speaking of stalkers, do not reinforce around stalkers if you can't reliably kill them. Had a level 44 die 11 times where I think 6 of them were from playing too close to a lair after reinforcing them away from the nest only for them to beeline back to it...

So I finally unlocked the new warbonds and the Sickle. Gun's great, but, uh, why does it sound like that? It doesn't sound like an energy weapon at all.

Caved and bought the game, never played the first one, just keep seeing so many damn articles about 2.

Level 18 now, inching closer and closer to getting the mech back which was free to use when I started.

I can see what the hype is about, just played a few missions, hit level 4. I was so lost on my first mission but now I'm getting the idea. Seems like it takes forever to get those materials for upgrading your ship modules though :(

I love how the strategems work and how you interact with things in the missions to activate new ones. Like the last one I did we activated and loaded an artillery gun for massive damage.
