Has anyone else been playing the demo?>cannibalize froggy service robots for turret gimbals>strap them to a family sedan>attach trench guns to the techno-abomination>use it to play gun-chicken with APCs>die in a fiery explosionThe Voltan Bog Rifle is a much more reliable car gun, I just need more wildcat for it.
>>738630779Some of the guns have placeholder icons in the menus, along with the more sci-fi ammo, and only a few of the weapons have info text, but there's a surprising amount of content in here.
>>738630964last pic, luv me Bog Gun.
>>738630779>Bolting armor plates and dual M60s to a forklift isn't normal, but in Mar Nosso it isI've got about 10 hours in the demo, great game so far. Interface is clunky, but the gameplay feels pretty solid.For Garage, the very last mission is (I think) endless small maps that get progressively harder enemies and better drops. I looted a lot of vehicle weapons and high end infantry weapons, along with endless amounts of 50 BMG ammo from it. Once I got a cut 50 from a drop in a crate there, I became death incarnate, even in an infantry rig.Vanderberg is the map to farm money, get that Corvid rig that skates around on treads and blast everything in the map. Get an RPG so you can one shot the armored car and you can loot about 4000 credits every 5 minutes. Should get you enough cash to fill out your garage from the merchant.There's a semi-common energy rifle that's really accurate and one shots most infantry, eats small cells very slowly. If you find it, it's worth picking up since it's incredibly ammo efficient and small energy cells have almost no weight.
>>738631195I've got a could energy weapons, and some "Ball" weapons, which I assume are all railgun weapons.Found a couple funny little disposable laser zip-guns. They're like dollar store light-sabres that only fire for a couple seconds.
>>738631415>got a couldgot a couple.I think it's time for bed.
>>738631195There's three combat rigs in garage too, which are essentially different options on your base suit. The Carmine is a straight upgrade to the Loyalist rig, 100 HP instead of 20, can still use medkits, and all of the weight limits on your mounts are increased. The spacer rig has 100 shield HP and sort of hovers along the ground, not sure what the benefit of shields are in this game since enemies don't drop shield orbs. The Corvid one, the Cinderblock, is between a rig and a power suit, it's really fast, has one 30kg mount, armor, and 120 HP.You can't enter tanks with the Carmine rig, and you can't enter vehicles at all with the Cinderblock. So the Cinderblock has some trouble with loot on some missions, it can carry a single 100kg small crate to store some stuff, but that's not enough for serious looting. I've dragged the Forklift around the final mission somewhat frequently since it can carry 5000kg (I think this is a bug, normal large crates are 500kg, but crates that have tank parts in them are 5000kg) which means I can walk out with a shit ton of new guns, tank weapons and parts, and restock all of my ammo.>>738631415I think the Alloy Rod are energy weapons/railguns, but I've only had one so far (The Frank) and it was terrible. Absolutely deadly to anything within 2 feet of you, including police APCs, but can't do damage at all beyond that.The steel ball weapons are compressed air guns, like a BB gun with a CO2 cartridge. Except they fire heavy steel balls at a rapid rate. I think it makes them naturally silent.
>>738630779Need the ability to scrap the shitty guns that you won't use. The starting set also needs some kind of advantage to offset the shitty health pool. Because once you get the carmine suit there is no real reason to go back to a squishy human. Otherwise it's a cool template if they manage to bring back most of the old vehicle list as usable chassis that you can hotswap on the fly. Like taking a Ratking and filling every hardpoint with MGs or slapping a railgun on the flying cars.
>>738631647Loyalist Rig is a pilot suit, the others can't sit in tanks or mechs. So it eventually becomes your last resort if something dunks your Betuksha or Fork.
>>738631647I think it could use more running stamina.Also maybe the ability to fire while prone.Carmine would make sense that you can't fire on your belly, too much armor to get your shoulders in the right place, but the loyalist rig should let you fire from both crouching and prone.
>>738631195Yeah the sinkhole map is just like a dungeon that keeps going with better loot the lower you go. Taking the panelvan with a crate is a nice way to farm up 50cals, RPGs and other assorted goods.
>>738631647The inventory really just needs a rework. I can understand early on making guns a finite resource because you're fighting an insurgency, but eventually you should be able to find blueprints or market contacts or whatever that will let you build/buy a new gun and change the inventory to show up more as a collection. Like, I have about 200 Cochinos, at this point I could die 50 times in a row and still not be out of guns. Yeah, there might be some weird ones I don't have a bunch of, but I've got enough functional ones that there's no reason to limit them.Also, a better/easier way to loot things on a map. I'd be happy with all ammo/guns/items naturally being added to your inventory for the map, but once you hit an exit, you have to discard things up to your actual weight limit. Would reduce a lot of the tedium of clearing a map and then going around to loot all the stuff you need in the early game.
>>738632683I don't mind the loot clunk so much, it feels like just enough of a pain in the ass to represent the mechanical effort of moving shit from the trunk of a car to the back of a van.
When will we be able to Up-gun to OvO(tm)?I want to strap a froggy turret to the top and attach the shittiest gun imaginable.
>>738631195Nice, I was wondering how to get money more easily
>>738632789I agree with you, I don't think it needs a rework, just some QoL tuning
>>738630779This actually looks cool I'll try the demo. Is it mostly a vehicle combat game or is there a substantial amount of on foot stuff too?Like I see you can run around but is that basically suicide and you will spend most of the game in a dawn of the dead murdercar?
>>738633556First game is all vehicle, Brigador Killers is mostly on foot for the demo. No idea if the full release will work out in the same way.Infantry vs Infantry is less deadly, but then if you run into vehicles with anti-vehicle weapons, you will explode very quickly if you take a shot. Even so, I get the feeling the devs balanced a lot of the levels around infantry/powersuit mode since that was a hugely requested feature for the original Brigador.
>>73863077910 years to make a sequel that is basically just a shittier version of the first game but with a "loot it yourself" inventory, not even adding multiplayer or really anything people wanted. Ten YEARS. I liked the first game, too - but what the FUCK have dev cycles become without us realizing? The entire Halo FRANCHISE was born and died in under that time. Halo 1 was released in 2001 and Reach in 2010. Even being generous, this game was announced in 2019 and it's still not even close to done.
>>738633707I'm still waiting for an FTL sequel. There's nothing wrong with the first game, but more content would always be nice.I assume for games like Brigador, FTL, Darkest Dungeon, and a whole host of other indie games, it's because the devs hit the nail on the head with the core gameplay and have no idea where to go next. Like how do you make Brigador better from a gameplay angle that's something simple modding can't do, like adding mechs or guns? There's not really anything that needs to be changed at its core.
>>738633556The previous game was all vehicles, but in this one you start off on foot and steal a van to put guns on it.
Anyone know how to get the legs for the coffin?
>>738633707The dev team is like five people, it takes time to make assets and shit
>>738633925YYou can buy them or kill lobos in the dromon mission/ sinkhole The demo has really left me wanting to see what the full game will be like, with much slower progress than going straight to the carmine. I really like dthe the brief story tutorial missions, I'd love to see more like that, but with more involved tactics
>>738633707>bro why not like halo?Halo was made by Bungie under MICROSOFT, you fucking moron. It was their full time job, they showed up to an office.This game is basically being made in a fucking garage by a bunch of dudes, when they have the time. It'll be done when it's done. I just can't believe we get Silksong AND Brigador Killers playable content before GTA VI
>>738633935Luckily the two brothers have dear old dad to back them up. They already lost one artist because a wild troon in their company discord decided to start some shit. A good lesson to learn early on lest you get blackmailed through some other means and lose more than just money.
>>738633556The first game is on sale, I highly recommend it if the vehicle combat is all you want. The Killers demo is on foot to start, and you work your way up to mechs and tanks and such.
>>738634317>I just can't believe we get Silksong AND Brigador Killers playable content before GTA VIWe are getting confirmed ayy lmaos, fusion energy and WWIII before that piece of goy shit comes out.
>>738633847More levels, build the level editor into the game, add steam workshop and FUCKING CO-OP. All easy improvements, none of them in the new game.>>738633935I don't think you understand the scale of time involved. Ten years. A DECADE. If it was ONE guy working on something as a hobby, while having a day job, it would make sense.
Is the aiming as shit as in Brigador?Trying to adjust for bullet drop in an isometric game with tank controls is turbo-gay.
>>738634070Thanks for the info.
>>738634635the reason no one else uses the artstyle that they're best known for is that it takes a disgusting amount of time to make assets in it
>>738634653putting your reticle directly on a target gives you some brief assist, where the shot will be locked to them and account for their movement.I still fucked myself up trying to throw grenades over a wall.
>>738634635I couldn't give less of a shit about co-op in the original Brigador, but in Killers it would be really great for the slower paced infantry combat or combined arms. There's a lot of times it would've been great to be able to set up an ambush and flank a tank or something, or just have someone covering my back while sniping distant targets.
how the fuck are you supposed to deal with the armored cars, get lucky on the random gun spawns?
>>738634653>adjust for bullet dropYou never have to do this.Just use any of the non-gutterball weapons. If you choose to throw a bowling ball at something in a game that has perfectly usable 105mm cannons and fifty varieties of automatics from a basic SAW up to AA-caliber autocannons, choosing the fucking bowling ball launcher and complaining about it is a skill issue.
>>738635406I need to know this too, I hear people talking about RPGs but I haven't found one
>>738635406In the level where you destroy the OvOs theirs a guaranteed .50 cal rifle spawn. I used that to destroy the first two apcs. and there's more ammo for it in the wilderness mission and a garage to store them.
>>738635961oh shit, nice
>>738635406Get a penpal from the dealership mission and snipe them from somewhere they can't hit you. Or just go looking in crates for some LAWs. They're single use but will one shot an apc if you hit them in the rear
>>738634392Wild troon?
>>738630779but can I use tubarao gas in this one?
>>738635961This, I found out when my first jolly OvO destroying mission ended out of nowhere by getting one-shot by that .50 cal lmao
>>738636117I found a chuffer at one point but no ammo for it, so i suspect it's in
>>738635406From what I've tried:50cal as others have mentioned from the dealership. It's sort of slow but works fairly safely if the car isn't chasing you down.RPG works, one shot forces the occupants to bail. 40mm grenade can work with a few shots, but is too slow for my tastes.7.62mmx51 machine guns work ok. They take a bit, but they chip away over time. You're guaranteed to get two from killing an armored car in Vanderburg. These also work well against soft targets as well.There's some other weird options like that short range, one shot laser pistol to the back of an armored car or a mortar if one drops. You can also up armor a van or forklift and slap two high caliber machine guns to it and just slug it out with an armored car, chances are you'll eventually force out the occupants and can loot the vehicle yourself, taking it with you to the next mission after some repairs. You can also take a van and make it a suicide truck if you only have to kill one car.Later on, you get vehicle mounted guns which make short work of them.
>'Mog + Bonesaw/Cut Fifty + Milkman + Thermobarics>Medium crate on back to bring back proceeds of war crimes>Duiker + Grimler for backupyep, it's gamer timespeaking as someone who only just tolerated the campaign structure in Brigador but loved everything else about it, the demo's basically perfect. Really hope the final game manages to keep the constant tension of the demo's hobo phase throughout the whole thing. Even if getting to mulch through infantry in a power suit is incredibly fun, the demo becomes trivial the second you get a weaponized panel van and a halfway decent gun of some kind to slap on it.
Holy fuck, the sound and feel of the cut .50 on Mongoose is pure sex.
>>738630779I have. It's very enjoyable. I love how the maps look and I love the tropical sci-fi setting. I ended up buying the first one while it was still on sale.
>>738633707you sound like an easily upset brownperson
Finally did it boys, the Carmine is mine. Also the large crate in the security area had a shit ton of guns. Fuck yeah.
>>738635406Also that mission is legit fun if you play it as a stealth mission. You can outrun the armored cars and disengage if they spot you, the AI isn't that smart.
What's even the point of the Dromon rig? I guess it might have some utility over the Carmine once shield recharging is added, but right now it's just a total joke.Also PSA: the Sinkhole isn't actually that hard if you bail out before the fourth level or so, and is a great source of guns in the early-mid game. Come back with a Mongoose or maybe even a Coffin and you can steamroll the whole thing for a repeatable 16k-ish credits in a few minutes.
>>738633707>MUH MULTIPLAYERFUCK OFF
>>738640941Nice.
>made a party van>mounted a mae dois on it (and a shitty smg for non armored infantry)Steamroll the entire game, delete APC in sencondsAnd this shit was one of the smallest and weakest rigs in the first game. I can't wait to see something the size of a brunhilde in this
>>738641601You can also put a powersuit inside it
>>738630779Is there a way to get more HP or am i supposed to use the cars for my health and fighting? getting oneshot is getting old real fastOther than that i like it so far, really like we're gonna be hunting the Brigadors from the previous game
>>738630779Yeah played it last weekend, it was really fun, can't wait for the whole thing to be out. I'm glad they got the same guys to make the OST again because it slaps.>>738642121You can get special powersuits like the carmine rig that will up your HP to 100 (along with other passive buffs, like more carry weight and such). Just look for missions that specifically mention them in the description. Do note that you'll need a vehicle to carry them back to the garage, i recommend the panel van just upgrade it so it can carry crates.
>>738642121>hunting the Brigadors from the previous gameIt's speculated that eventually we'll be hunting the corpos who hired the Brigadors and possibly Faber mercs as well.
>>738640941dromon rig as a much longer sight range when you aim Im pretty sure, as in the camera zooms out more
>>738642558Have u read the bk novel? It was quite enjoyable and I feel sets a good tone
>>738643515Didn't they say that the novel doesn't really have anything to do with the game because they just let the dude do whatever he wants?
>>738643627No clue desu, but I think it would be a mistake to not have the two mesh well with each other.
Brigador 1 is still on sale for 9 more hours, worth to pick up or just pirate? Played synthetic with a friend recently and enjoyed it so i assume its something similar but singleplayer only?
>>738644064It's like a stripped down Brigador Killers.
What's a good weapons for the APC? I feel most guns I try had utter shit spread. Also outside the Penpal rifle any good handheld weapons against armor?
>>738630779does this one have actual progression and resource retention mission to mission? the first one was super disappointing because it was just a series of arcade levels with nothing but flavour text bridging them together
>>738643627team pilgrim is mentioned briefly in the Obstacle 1 campaign you can listen to the first half of each book on their youtube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLon-eCq6oXhT069_G8_bx5RFQ1MqhD_pHhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLon-eCq6oXhTjVVPvMwfehxWV6zqaC3wr
>>738644217in garage mode yes
>incognito mode>some vehicle descriptions mentioning how they can help you go undetected>the Buttonholethere's going to be some form of stealth isn't there?
>>738644321There already is.
>Marvin is back>The desc of ammo and guns still on pointAlso this games puts alot of thing into scale, even sometine tiny like a Fork or an Arlovin the first game feel like superheavy vehicles against everything the game throws at you.
>>738641601amazing lol
>>738630779some people from Synthetik shilled it. Is it similar
>>738644429I ran into a mongoose or something that was trying to melee me and kicked it to death with my carmine boots
>>738644429I honestly thought we'd be wacking Beck and Chatfield but I guess they're too valuable
>>738644497carmine boots truly are the ultimate weapon
>>738644232Is that warhead on the carmine a LYAM?
>>738644640it's an Audio-Kinetic Pulse it one shots the doll and child
>>738644640It’s AKP on a carmine. It’s a scene in the book also lol
>>738633707Sounds like you just want cheap and quick slop more than an actual good game>multiplayerAbsolute retarded expectations
>>738644352NTA but how does stealth work? i assumed that suppressed weapons would help maintain incognito mode but i one shot one enemy but still got "detected" by the other enemies, even though they weren't in my line of sight
>>738644679>>738644694>Poor kid got reduced to soupBrutal
>>738644717nta but co-op would be cool for this game
>>738644064Brigador 1 is like my go to when I’m bored and want a 30 minute session of messing with all the weapons and vehicles and blowing up dudes. Great OST, weapons all feel and sound good, controls require some getting used to but they’re fine, you can read lore bits if you care about that. It definitely lacks in the story department since it feels arcadey with its missions and the freeplay mode, but it’s a reliable choice when you just want to chill. Or not chill, since there are longer missions and that one challenge that’s like 100 levels long or some shit
>>738633707No one wanted multiplayerHalo is a dogshit franchise, of course they could make shitton of them in a decade, that's what happens when you churn out worthless slop
I never got into Brigador. Once the "oh cool, giant robot shootouts" novelty wore off, I didn't find anything to keep me hooked.What am I missing?
with the ability to transition between levels as shown with the spacer sniper level I wonder if it would be possible to link dozens of giant maps to together to fully model Mar Nosso
>>738643515>>738642558>we will get to be ambushed by the paper plate tribeI hope they make it as horrifying an experience as the gameplay of Brigador implied.
>>738644872>What am I missing?Testosterone
>>738644943>Tfw Loader Van with TurretI want to upgrade to the Partyvan but can't find treads.
>>738644872Meh if you can’t get into it, it’s fine. The overall visuals, sounds and feel of the weapons really sucked me in.
what do (You) want the full version of the game to be like anons?
does Faber show up at all or are they just rolled into NOSPOL?
>>738645010can't you buy them from the merchant?
>>738645252Not yet, but the descriptions on the heavier vehicles are from FSG
>>738645131I really like the garage mode. If the full version builds on that, I'm happy.
>>738645131Pilgrim campaign that replicates some of the action scenes
I wish the enemies could do more than just run at you. >>738645131More of a challenge and less of a pain in the ass.
>>738645131dynamic missions for sandbox to prevent repeat mission grinding, so you can *try* to rob a bank once but if you fail sec gets upped ridiculously and most of the vaults content moves, and if you succeed you there's nothing to rob any morerecruitable operatives and a permadeath mode to really heighten the stakes
why are the corvids here?
>>738645380I really hope we get an endless version of sinkhole with more map variety
Do i have to offload all my loot manually or is there a way to drop my shit off, i don't remember much of the tutorial and i don't want to reset it all to see it again
>>738646395you can shift click to quick move an item but there's no move all, inventory system does need a lot work
Just played half an hour of it, yeah this game's gonna be good.I did however lose my forklift and tuk tuk in the open world campaign. So now i am vehicleless and the demo is showing its edges.Needs polish around the UI and inventory management.
>>738647121yeah early game makes me think im gonna spend the first few hours bringing whatever vheicle it works to scrap it just so i don't have to go to a mission colect another and then go to the mission i want with my battle waggon
>>738645131more campaign mechanics to really lean into the insurgency simulator aspect
Get back to base, take the backpack off, start moving stuff from inside into inventory then storage. Am I doing this right that's a lot of shit
>>738648839It depends, after fucking with a forklift a lot I figured out how you can unload and load containers without putting them down but I'm not sure I can explain it...
>>738646169Just being junkyard niggers like usual I imagine
oh, neat. assassination missions you do on-foot instead of purely inside the giant robot like the first gamei spent a few minutes spinning around like a tard because my fingers don't remember the brigador controls so good
"Jagged Alliance"
>>738631612>You can't enter tanks with the Carmine rig>I've dragged the Forklift around the final mission somewhat frequently since it can carry 5000kgThe party van is a tank that can fit the 5000kg crate and can be entered with the Carmine rig, it's the real meta vehicle for looting.The only issue is, that you gotta jump out to loot containers with it, everything on the ground can be instantly picked up however, and if you just drive over bodies with it, they drop everything they had to the ground.Still trying to find out if there is a way to destroy the crates fast for easier looting.
>>738630779Yes but i just played the tutorial, seems fun anyway.
>>738644770It's very barebones, as long as you're in an unarmed vehicle, you stay incognito as long as you don't enter certain areas, shoot a weapon or get spotted with a weapon.Not sure if you can walk around with a weapon unequipped in the loyalist suit and keep the incoqnito mode on.
>>738644530I feel like the mercs the SNC hired are now being hired to aid the insurgents which explains why Beck, Chetfield, and Efi would be on descriptions.I also think at least a couple of old Brigadors might show up as allies, the ones who weren't really Brigadors but playable anyway.
>>738646169They were set up as a puppet government when the loyalists fell.
>>738652076I want to kill Armbruster
>>738648839Nope, you're not doing it right, you can keep the backpack equipped.Open the armory and there should be an icon of the backpack on the bottom left side, same with any vehicle and crate inventories that are on the green square.
>>738652415Edwina obliterated him at point blank range
S.T.A.L.K.E.R kino nice
>>738652791Wait, was that the chick in the Touro?I can barely remember anything from the audiobook.
>>738653143I'm surprised there are no space AKs in this game
>>738643946The first book had some parts that clearly contradict what's shown in the game as much as I liked itNo clue about Pilgrims, haven't read that one because I couldn't find it for free but it's a prequel, right? That will make it easier to handwave inconsistencies
how are you supposed to make money, i had like 2k after killing and looting hundreds of dudes and thought that was a lot but all i could afford with it was a couple hundred rounds of 20mm.and i have a bunch of weapons that i can't do anything with because they are so big, what is the point of them.
>>738645131Need the ole reliables from the Corvid lineup present. Brokenheart, Propter, Nickel, Ratking, Killdozer, Swordfish, Eightball and my beloved.
What is the purpose of the dive
What's the best moneymaker mission?
>>738654541The mission with the police checkpoint on the highway has two crates that always have ~2k credits each and it's a short mission so you just go in with an MG and a single LAW/RPG for the one APC and you make 4k in maybe 5 minutes.The big weapons are for vehicle mounts
>>738654749Vilutian Promenade if you don't have any heavier weapons, there is one crate that can spawn with 2k and you can kill the bussinesmenn for around 100-200 creds each.Vandenberg can get you like 4-5k per run if you have a reliable way to take care of the one APC there.Sinkhole offers the best reward moneywise if you make it all the way through, I think it's around 20-30k but you have to destroy a bunch of upgunned liliputters, but they mostly have .22 and 9mm weapons so if you have an armored vehicle they shouldn't pose too big of a threat.
>>738654937i dont have that many explosives and i know that the big weapons are for vehicle mounts but they are too heavy for them like 500 kilos
>>738646169Corvids are more like a class and in some ways an ethnic group considering their general standing. Wherever there is poverty and junkyards there will be Corvids scrounging around and slapping shit together to make a buck. Hence the weaponized staplers and discount grease guns laying around the show. Think of it like how Spacers are an entirely separate group from everyone else. NEPs are generally planet bound loyalists of Novo Solo and even Great Leader's banana republic wasn't the only people on the planet at the time. You had the rival nation of Eixos that serves mostly as background filler and the rest of the planet is just endless jungles. Because both settlements are glorified concrete domes meant to keep the wildlife out.
>>738654498Its a sequel, including a character from the first book. Basically the Loyalist Nobreans have sent insurgents to fuck up the SNC for the whole corpo-coup. Pilgrim is doing exactly what the PC is doing.
>>738655315I meant that it's a prequel to the Killers gameOr is it supposed to take place at the same time like the first book with the first game
>>738653251It has a lot of flavor I get sad when I find something new and it's missing the lore blurb talking about it. Found a box in the Sinkhole filled with Liberators, flower bouquet guns, and some kind of 308 zip gun pipe pistol abomination. So much silly shit.
Protip : Always grab the free medkit from the tutorial bag with the binos and torch. Saves having to make them yourself if you are the kind of miserly cunt that only uses cheap bandages and chips for health.
>>738655532>flower bouquet gunsYou can apparently walk around with these in hand and stay incognito
>>738655532For me it's the FAL and that suppressed 45. SMG you can find on cops. Sometimes you can find a shit ton of ammo in the sinkhole so you can just go ham with bigger calibers.
>walking around the the OvO level gunning down cops>get onetaped >turns out there was a sniper with a .50 cal in there that i completely missedi guess when i shot the Ovos it must've run him over and never found his body the other times i was there
>>738655532Is there anything like anon's Wristwrecker around?
>>738655918The Obrez?
>>738656662An obrez is just a shortened rifle.The Wristwrecker is explicitly made as a pistol.
>>738630779looks shit
>>738655110How have you found 500kg weapons but not any explosives? The heaviest weapon I've seen was only 65kg and I'm swimming in RPG rounds and hand grenades
what the hell does the breaker wheel do?
>>738630779Buy an ad.
>>738657212It breaks wheels
>>738656906i dunno i found both of these at the roundabout, wasn't 500kg but pretty close
>>738657212I believe it's a battering ram
Is the mongo with dual bonesaws still such a rape machine?
>>738657409even more so now in the infantry heavy context
>>738657409Yes but the rate of fire on them is super overkill and now that ammunition is an actual factor you're probably better off with something like the ramsus gun that is a little slower firing and a lot more accurate.
My only wishlist for the final release its more death animations against enemies, I want more brutality, yeah I'm a fucking psycho I dont care. Agressive vehicle AI where they even mow down a block if they have to pursue you and maybe soldier armor (Carmine, Loyalist etc) customization.
>>738657625Welp, I'm sold now. I can't remember if that mission where you had to destroy a radio tower with only Spacer heads being around had a Mongoose as a set loadout, but I remember doing that mission with a Mongoose with dual Bonesaws and it was great fun.>>738657706>Yes but the rate of fire on them is super overkillSuper overkill rate of fire.... THAT'S THE ENTIRE POINT YOU BUFFOON! 1500 rpm go RRRRRRRRRRR
>>738650868The party van with a 50cal and something like a 7.62mm LMG on the roof is legit. Actually handles better than the base van while having the ability to fuck with APCs when you focus fire on them. It's even better now than it was in the first game.
>>738657329makes me wonder what sort of situation you'll end up using it in, an actual mechanic or just a one off item from a campaign mission that just just threw into the sandbox?
>>738658208I wish I could throw the Bluetongue on it, but it goes over the weight limit by one, a lot of the mounted weapons have a problem where they are just a bit too heavy to be used on lighter vehicles and get overshadowed by the heavier weapons so no sense in mounting them on larger vehicles either.I found out that Disco+RPG is a pretty solid combo for it, haven't had any trouble clearing any maps with that loadout and the cells are so light and ubiquitous that you will never run out of ammo.
>>738658807Brigador had the Killdozer, so I find a battering ram not too out there
>>738658807I could see maybe putting it on a coffin suit since that things kick kinda sucks and I don't think it has the slot capacity for multiple bigger guns anyway
Best way to haul loot early game is Vanmaxxing?
>>738658807Seeing that it has such a short range and it uses ammo I figured it was some kind of ballistic powered impact hammer. Kinda like how Jetstream Sam's sword has a magazine in the sheath to shoot it out faster for his surprise draws.
>>738659389Yeah, loader panel van with two large crates and a small crate carries a total of 1400 weight and is pretty easily attainable
>>738659389yeah, convert it to carry two large boxes on top of the small one it can carry by default and vacuum all the loot, it also comes with the added bonus of allowing you to do it without leaving the van, unlike the default van
>>738657808>model swap so you can run as the police, yellow jackets or corvids for different buffs like better stealth or slightly higher health from a hardened ballistic vestIt would give you an incentive to not main the carmine suit beyond the ability to pilot mechs. If you put so much work into the running around on foot stage having some more options to lean into that wouldn't hurt.
>>738659389On top of what the other Anons already said, buying anything that comes in a crate at the black market will net you 10x carrying capacity for the loader van since the black market crates have 5000kg capacity instead of 500kg
I like the Demo a lot. Any info about the release date?
>>738659982
>>738659947Wew time to start buying then. It's a shame you can't sell or scrap all that inventory fodder that you will end up collecting. Nobody is going to use 70k+ worth of 22. in their lifetime so being able to melt this crap down into something useful would be nice. Same with the guns and spare chassis if you don't feel like driving them.
>>738660083What is the best way to get credit? Mow down suit civilians?
>>738660083You can sell the parts and ammo types the black market trader also sells to you, but it's very limited currently.They are apparently going to add more traders into the game with varying inventories (some for small arms, some for vehicles, etc) so you can sell all of that crap.Would not mind a system for scrapping and manufacturing your own ammo and limited variety of scrap weapons either.>>738660312Check out >>738654985
>>738660025>Soon.TMEvery time
>>738631612>not sure what the benefit of shields are in this game since enemies don't drop shield orbsYou can switch it off/on (X by default) to recharge to full when you enter a different area. Mostly useful for the Dromon map and Sinkhole, I don't think any of the other missions are multi-level.>>738634653There's an easy mode button this time around (Q to lock on).
>>738660495I mean at least the early access is near? But man I'm getting tired of this alpha,beta testing until 1.0
>>738634653>oh no, I have to actually aim :(don't worry anon, they put in a lock on just for people like you!
>>738655918there's this thing, which while not .50bmg, fires the same 8mm round as the MG42
is there a way to disable the automatic zooming out crouching does? it keeps throwing my aim off
>>738660025>Early AccessNOOOOOOOOOOO
>>738661758Honestly, if you played the demo and were expecting anything but an early access release, you are a bit delusional.The game needs at least 2, maybe 4 more years of development.
>>738661758
>>738662006I'd rather have them work 4 more years and put it out than to condemn it into a 10 year long EA hell.
>finally learn that there is a keybind for a handbrake in the gameneat>it's just a worse brake and doesn't allow for handbrake turnsoh...
is the demo only on steam? not seeing it on itch
>>738663983yes, unless you want to pay 25 bucks for an older build.you'll get the early access version and full release on itch if you pay for it now though.
>>738630779I would play it if I wasn't preoccupied with the Huntdown Overtime demo and my other games
what the hell is this thing, at first I thought it was some sort of a modernized and bastardized luger, but it's apparently some sort of a shoulder mounted cannon with it's own special type of ammunition?Where can you even find ammo for this thing?
>>738666829The merchant doesn't have it, I think the only options are random crates in the ammo depot or Sinkhole.
>>738667637I went through sinkhole and managed to find ONE single round for it.Seems to be nothing but a normal shoulder mounted cannon, I was kinda hoping it would do something special since it has special ammo that is this rare.
>>738666829What ammo does it use?
>>738633707>is basically just a shittier version of the first gameWorse.It's a shitty version of the on foot shit no one liked from Urban Strike.
The Loader Van is the best transport for hauling guns and ammo or you can unlock something with a bigger trunk?
>>738658807Its pic related for powersuits, an unholy mix of the Impact hammer and the Flak Cannon from UT99.
>>738669715Nah the infantry/small vehicle combat is fun as hell actually
>>738670037I've been using an armored forklift with a large crate and two 9mm machine guns, working out decent
>>738670037loader van + 2x of the special large crates from the merchant gives you 10k space to work with + a small slot for another crate or a motorcycle or whatever
>>738668412It's just called Geist ammo, Geist rounds or something along those lines, the icon for the ammo has a ghost with Geist written on it.
What is your purpose, why do you exist, let me take this thing out on a loot run or something
>>738672282Uh huh. Not falling for the Urban Strike scam again.
>>738673293It has massive carrying capacity, I think it's just for moving shit around the garage.
>>738673359Your loss lmao, I've already played this demo more hours than any demo since I was installing them from magazine CDs as a kid. Shit's fun.
>>738673293for a while i thought it was just set dressing until i walked near it
>>738664740*grumble* *grumble*
They really need to change the mortar targeting line, not only can you not fucking see this shit at all on most maps but it also doesn't actually represent where the projectile goes. The very next mission after I took this picture one of my mortars fired at full range while sitting still crouched somehow hit a building ten feet behind me on the way up and killed me.The mortar also just fucking sucks, 50mm yet you land that shit right on a cops head in posadochny and he doesn't even flinch.
>>738661758>>738660495why do zoomers expect tiny studios to crunch themselves to death like AAAslop devs do? and if you don't want early-access then just don't buy the game. it's not that hard, zoom-zoom.
>>738673998This was my conclusion at first as well, but there really is no need to move stuff around the garage.I can't come up with a single reason for why it exists other than showcasing a vehicle that we will be able to modify later on.
>>738673359you sound like a traumatized rape victim
>>7386749301 dude could have made this game in a year
>>738676276Well then get to work, smartass. I expect a better game than this on my desk in 365 days.
>mfw stealing the Sawbuck from Chop Shop and loading it up with a full-sized M2 and a SarissaIf there was a "War Crimes for Dummies" book, this thing would be on the cover.
>>738676786>War Crimes for DummiesLockdownBlack HandCongratulations! You're a monster.
>acquire Carmine rig>kick someone>punch someone>bump into someoneOops, pardon me.
>>738677249The Camine Rig is such a meme. You can even tackle the APC
>>738630779The deep inventory system is jarring after the first game where you could just endlessly scoop up generic ammo and shield orbs from dead enemies.
>>738644943It has the wokest roster of characters in history, you dickless faggot.
>>738676276but they didn't did they
>>738678605Its cluncky as fuck. I get the idea of Loader versions of vehicles I just want to open the crates while on the truck.
>>738677592It'll probably get toned down a bit but damn is it fun right nowIt'd be sick to see the spacer suit have some sort of anti-grav telekinesis action where it doesn't feel physically strong like carmine but you can press kick to blast guys into a pulp
>>738679527They may change it, but honestly you can't open a crate and load shit into a van while you are driving the van. Having to get out to move shit around lends some immersion to the whole thing.
>>738679592with as few spoilers as possible, there's a spacer tac-rig equivalent in Pilgrims, and it focuses on speed and shock. Typical Spacer bullshit, lighter than the rest, probably lower HP than the Carmine, but better shields and insanely fast.
>can decharge and recharge hardshields with Xactual gamechanger
>>738679652Being able to access or just unload crates from a vehicle when you're outside of the vehicle would be a nice QOL change. Would also presumably make backpacks a lot less annoying to use.I don't actually mind the limitation of having to get out of the vehicle to dig through crates, and that might actually end up being a balancing component once there's more use for the really heavy ammo types (can't just use crates as ammo feeds on lighter vehicles with limited ammo space), but the flow of unload crate -> get out of car -> open crate could do with some polish.
>>738666829finally found ammo for it, just seems to be some form of cannon
>>738680296You can unload crates out of a vehicle when outside of them, just open the vehicles inventory, click on the crate and drop it on the outside of the inventory screen to drop it on the ground.
>>738680296I'm not 100% sure if I'm just doing it wrong sometimes or if there really is a difference, but it seems like you can access crates inside vehicles when you're interacting with the loadout thing at base. Maybe that will be the behavior all of the time at some point.
>>738680283you can only refill the shields once per level change, excluding the level you start in.it can still be quite useful in the sinkhole for example and it does mean you won't have to spend materials on fixing your vehicle since the shields will be taking the beating instead.no clue what the point of the shields on the dromon rig are though, considering how common medical items are, it just seems like an almost all around worse carmine rig since you can't really heal.
>>738680973The loadout inventory does allow you to access the crates inside the vehicles, probably so you can dump all of your crap easier.I think the difference there is intended so you can't just replenish your ammo pool too easily while on a mission.
where you can buy and sell stuff?
I'm gonna do it bros, I'm going to load up my Mog with a cut 50 and RPG and do Posadochny
>>738681992Merchant Causeway, once you start the mission, you are teleported to the trader, once you leave the trader, you have to drive to the other end of a highway that is guarded by cops and an APC with dual machineguns at the end, you can just speed past it though.Picture is all the things you can buy AND sell to the black market, there are also boxes with weapons, tank parts, mech parts and two spacer vehicles, but you can only buy those.
>>738682560fuck yeah
>do mission where you have to destroy the eggs>realize I don't have enough or proper ordnance to destroy them all>wait a second, that gas station....
>>738682816kek
>>738682816Even 9mm will penetrate the backs of those things and you only have to get them to half for them to start cooking off, but that's a pretty smart solution regardless
>>738682816Nice thinking, but those cars are really weak, they take like 5 to 10 shots to the back from the SMG you have to go haywire and blow up.
>>738682816I did something similar by accident>last OvO runs away wounded>follow it>crash right into the gas station alongside a wounded Froggy flipping the fuck out and going full suicide bomber on my ass>OH FUCK >try run>cops are driving right to my face>all of us get blasted by the explosion
>>738682816...and the aftermathHonestly, I just didn't want to expend any ammo, since I was running the salt rifle and suppressed 45 and didn't have a lot of ammo for both, plus I don't understand how aiming actually works, since unless it's locking on to people it doesn't really shoot where I aim.
>>738683096I lost my Vorverkhuhn like this
>>738682816Drive them at high speed then bail out
>acquire powersuit>become unkillable death machinechrist maybe the long night was more extreme than I thought
>>738630779>turning cars into mechsFund it.
>>738634392I thought the cancelled dude was one of the two brothers and he just pretended to be gone while he waited for the reddit/resetera crazed troons to leave and then he came back like nothing happened.
>>738683360On foot or in a mech you use Ctrl to crouch and aim better/see farther. Vehicle weapon accuracy is currently dogshit by design because cars have the same stats regardless of who's driving and in previous builds people kept getting shredded by pinpoint-accurate APCs before they had a chance to get a shot off. I think they're planning to separate it out so that the mounted weapon accuracy penalty only applies to the AI.
Working on extracting all the music for the game using a FMOD extractor. Did it with the old test builds they released on itch months ago, but I want to see what else they may of changed. Will be posting a link here shortly. >>738686673Jack (the one who does all the art) was the one who was "canceled" after he was seen posting on some private forum about how he hated troons. Nothing really came of it and he did the standard humiliation ritual of saying "I'm sowwy" and doing the apology dance. But beyond that I'm not sure if anything else really changed beyond culling the fanbase.
>>738630779the demo was really good. I stopped early into it so i don't spoil too much of the game for myself.i'm buying (or something) as soon as i can.
I dont have a lot of time to play and farm, can anyone provide a guide on efficient looting for me to get at least a mongoose to fuck around in? The best I've had so far was an up armored van and my best plan is to save credits to go to the merchant and buy a mongoose kit. I have been playing the game mostly on foot and struggling against vehicles.
>>738685412You'd like the first game, if you haven't played already. Corvid Aesthetic is basically "What if Coop rebuilt a Jaguar from Mechwarrior instead of a Gundam?"
>>738687494You might actually have to get the mongoose from the merchant, I don't know if its components are actually in the drop tables. If you just want any mech though you can grab a motorcycle from one of the medium difficulty maps and buy two lobo legs from the merchant for 500 each (bring a loader van with a large crate because they weigh 300) and you can make a coffin.
>>738687963Thanks, anon.
>>738633847>I'm still waiting for an FTL sequel.try ftl multiverse if you haven't. Also some Chinese made a rip off of t and 40k. Void war
>>738687038Alright, here's the full music rip from the demo. https://mega.nz/file/2JQFiI5Z#hk9SyGY5T5D5NV_RWCLL8wZOeOrcXrSjlVkuEtyz5B8
>>738689041very nice, cheers anon
Has anyone managed to get an arlo? it says you can make it but i still haven't found where you get the chassis.
anyone else thinks it looks shittier than the first game? is that just because its not finished?
>>738687038>cullinggood, anyone who got mad about that is cancer anyway
>>738630779had a lot of funscrounging up enough funds to buy your own mech to equip, supply and repair it with stuff you scavenge is much more enjoyable than I anticipated, just a shame about the relatively short length and placeholders.also, does anyone actually use any rig other than the carmine? I only used the cinderblock a few times for that elimination mission with NOSPOL to get money.
Ok I'm back from yesterday and I have been playing the demo for like 3 hours now it fucks so hard. But I am a bit stuck on garage mode. I have all these panel trucks and spare guns and shit but as I try to make the low tier mechs and gun cars they require weird shit. Like where do I get the "lil chassis" or whatever the fuck they called it? And where can I find motorcycles? I need those chassis as well. But man what a great unexpected surprise. I probably won't go back and play the last game because I really like the on foot stuff and the sense of scale it adds. And I wish the maps had more variation between runs but overall I really enjoy it so farBut yeah where are the bikes bros
>>738689041nice, thanks
>>738690071>Like where do I get the "lil chassis" or whatever the fuck they called it?the merchant, you need a lot of money (like 8k to 25k credits depending on the vehicle) and a loader van to carry it though.>And where can I find motorcycles?I've seen a few during later missions, I think the Promenade was the earliest where I saw one
>>738690071There are a lot of them in one of the later missions, the red light district one
>>738690201Ok I'm a fucking retard I guess, what merchant?And ok I just need to nut up and do these missions with 20 health I guess. It's just scary when a shotgun blast can instakill me
>>738689886It's also generally more zoomed in but the sprites are not that much higher resolution, and the zoom is dynamic so it's not always going to have consistent pixel sizing
>>738690260>what merchant?I forgot the exact name but there's a mission named something like "Merchant Castaway" where you can trade with a merchant before you have to make your getaway across a bridge, he sells a bunch of vehicle "kits" which are essentially crates containing everything you need to build said vehicle.also you get a carmine rig during one of the earlier missions which is basically an armored exo-suit in itself (100 health and better damage resistance), so you don't really need to worry about getting a mech asap
>>738690260I was able to do wilderness by kicking through the fence north of the gas station where you spawn, killing the guards around there while running away from any APCs. Once all the guards are dead you can sneak a car through the hole in the fence you made, use the elevator to spawn in a van or something else that can carry 200+ to get the carmine. There's also a large crate in a security fence area there with good shit in it if you can get the APC to chase you away and then come back with your van or whatever to get that stuff too.
>>738690014I wrote off the cinderblock at first but I actually think it's great for sinkhole runs, it has the most carrying capacity of the rigs and you don't need multiple weapon slots since every floor is the same kind of short range infantry combat so you can just blow through shit real fast.
>>738690606Hell yeah I'll give that a shot
>>738666829Looks like a gun by the spacemen. Those guys do weird and creepy shit like this.
>>738690606tbdesu the Mongoose is better for the Sinkhole (especially since you can mount a medium crate on it's back) but I guess you "unlock" the Cinderblock earlier
>>738690502>you get a carmine rig during one of the earlier missionshow early this shit is fucked with 20 health dude
>>738673293>I didn't even realize this was a usable vehicleIt's a subtle tutorial on agrav movement.Can't wait to get me an Arlo.
>>738691059try to stock up on LAWs and thermobaric grenades in Shorelinekick through the fencego full insurgent, kneel and press Q to aim at the APCs when ambushing them
>>738691059It's like the sixth mission or something, it's a retrieval type and it says "carmine rig" in the description. Be warned there's like five APCs on the map that can shred you so bring at the very least a 50 cal rifle to plink at them from out of their range (you can get one on the car dealership level)
>>738657212It seems to function as a shotgun that fires 7.62 cartridges in a large burst.
>going out with the FN FA--I mean the Kriel AlephAn elegant weapon, from a more civilized age.
Have you taken the BIG SLUG pill yet?
>>738691302>>738691338As an absolute shitter retard is Shorline or Dealership safer? I mean, I'm going out there with a partyvan and using it as cover while I shoot with a 7.62 ar still. Sometimes just a 12 gauge since they aren't cucked like most games
>>738691083Tell me if you do get one, i've been to every level and not found any large agrav impellers or the chassis to make it.
>>738691590m1911 With Fuckhuge Scope
>>738691784Shoreline probably, both you can just inch along with a duiker carbine or a bog rifle, snipe guys from a full screen away and be almost 100% safe but dealership sometimes the one guy with the 50 cal will go crazy and one shot you out of nowhere.Unrelated fun fact, if you do the prone dive with the cinderblock rig while sprinting you can rocket across maps at an absurd speed
>>738691741I have a couple but haven't used it yet. Good?
>>738692950fuckin' awesome
>>738687038>troons expecting anyone to cancel blood over petty online bullshit and performative ritualsLoleLmoa
>>738682686Cheers bro
>>738677249>spartan kicking a bunch of corvids trying to ping you with their 9mm zippers
>>738693417so fun lmao
>>738689280Some of the parts are unobtainable, you have to edit the crafting recipe in the F1 menu to delete those and then you can build it.>>738690014I like the sniper rig, it's slow as shit but the accuracy/view range bonuses are great. I can snipe someone from three screens away with a Nobrelite. Aside from that I've been using the pilot suit and rampaging around in the Sawbuck.
>>738673293I haven't seen this thing. Where is it?
>>738692545Yeah it's great. It's a 40mm grenade launcher that holds 150 rounds, basically a thumper that you never have to reload.
The kamikaze Panel van has the description of the normal Panel van, 0/10 demo. Also is the Sawbuck worth getting if I have the Mongoose?
>>738630779Been playing this for the past couple days. It fucks. I was skeptical of the extraction-style mechanics in the garage mode, but the gear management, scavenging and risk factor adds a lot of friction that I found really lacking in the first game, Brigador was still a good time, but the freelance mode got pretty stale after a bit.
Love the game so far. Why does the mongoose have that weird looking head. Is it a placeholder or has it always looked like that? Also. >First hour in game>mission 2>Corvid shoots me with dirty sawed off bolt action rifle and knocks me over OVER brings me to 4 HP. >he closes in and finishes me.I am permanently afraid of enemies with the fucking dogshit bolt action sawed off rifle. Holy fuck.
>Acquired something called a 'Cut Fifty'>It's a vehicle-mounted gun cut down to be barely infantry usable>50. BMG rips through lines of corvids/cops, destroys most buildings, and even shreds armoured APCs>Any time you fire it people instinctively duck for cover out of sheer fear>100 fucking round capacityIf you haven't fired this thing yet, frankly you're missing out
What is the lore of Brigador? I don't understand how this is a future with space ships and mechs but people are still shooting 9mm rounds and buckshot. What the fuck is going on?
>>738696568>Is it a placeholder or has it always looked like that?Yeah it's a placeholder. The coffin got a new model for the smaller screen size, so the mog will very likely get a new one too.
>>738696834turns out we've pretty much reached the peak of what you can do with chemical propellant
>>738695017fuck yeahI've just gotta build something that can carry it
Favorite mech / tank / power suit you hope is added to the game sooner rather than later?
>>738697227I forgot about the dorothy also. Had cool lore with it too.>But while it costs nearly as much to maintain as the Buckmaster, the Dorothy earned a reputation after Corporal Chet Govender stumbled back from the Bolero Wells ambush, only survivor of an attack that wiped out a full Mog patrol and their Touro support. When in combat with powersuits the enemy expects a peppering of 8mm, not the 40mm slugs from a Duchess. They found an entire highway exit ramp crowded with Rolstons that Govender had eliminated single-handedly.
>>738697227Love me Buckmaster, can't go wrong with a Touro either
>>738696834Basically getting any more advanced weapons or armor has massive diminishing returns for cost so while the ultra rich like the spacers have anti-grav and crazy energy weapons on everything everyone else who doesn't have a bottomless wallet continues to make do with conventional equipment.There's also the factor of Solo Nobre, the planet where the games take place, being a pretty resource poor planet in the middle of nowhere likely just didn't get many particularly great engineers or scientists on their colony ships so they might be stuck at a way lower manufacturing level and using whatever garbage they can buy off smugglers.
>>738696834FTL travel is based on lucid dreaming psychics who stay in such intense states that the body essentially dies off around them. Eventually through the use of technology the head is preserved in a Futurama styled jar. These heads end up serving as AI cores for mining and leisure stations since general AI technology has effectively stagnated. While maintaining the life support systems they begin to lose touch and start becoming catatonic from their elevated states of consciousness. There are cases in the universe where one of these stations will suddenly depressurize killing the inhabitants onboard while the brain at the helm enters a catatonic state. Leading them to either drifting aimlessly into space or flying themselves into stars.The original pioneers relied on AI to guide them which caused the first starships to fly through planets and suns. Because their onboard computers couldn't keep up with the rigorous strains of extended space travel. They tried drugging pilots to stay awake before moving onto to a rotating human daisy chain. Cycling them out for the longer jumps to the outer colonies. The use of pilots entering RMT dream states to drive the ships was after many years of trial and error.
>>738666829Oh hey, that's a Ghost in the Shell reference
>>738697549Shuttle cock looking motherfucker
>>738654749Here's the real strat:>Go to the NOSPOL ammo depot with a van packed with a large + small crate, bring something to deal with heavy armour>Loot all the weird ammo with the placeholder sprites>Sell what you can at the merchant for loads of cash>Bonus: buy the mongoose kit or something that comes in the crate, the merchant crate has a whopping 5000 carry limit to haul even more stuff

>>738697227My favorite setup in the first game was a swordfish with an archie. I loved to zip through a cluster of enemies at max speed popping everything that got in my way while hoping I don't get screwed by my nonexistent turning speed. I'll build a swordfish asap if it ever makes into Killers.
>>738697227>MechMoray>TankCitadel>AgravSwordfish, my favorite vehicle in the game; the most Orky of vehicles.

Found this cool looking super heavy 4 gauge shotgun
>>738700231Yeah it's a cool looking thing, though beyond point-blank the 4-gauge doesn't seem to perform much differently from the 6-gauge Rhino Stopper. Despite what the massive box mag suggests, it's only got four shots too, so it felt kind of handicapped.I prefer the Drummer more, 12-gauge isn't quite as meaty, but the huge mag size means you can let loose with it more
>>738630779just tried the demo, game gives me syndicate wars and blast corps vibes. pretty good
>>738690071Lil buddy is those robot cop scooters that flip out and ram into things before exploding, they usually drop the chassis. Bikes are sometimes in roundabout and always in chop shop or promenade
>>738700209I bought a Mongoose and built it, didn't have very many vehicle-tier weapons close to 50 weight so I loaded it with two lasers that use high cells that shoot slow and straight kinda like one click sniper rifles.I was shooting at cops in Vanderberg or whatever it's called and just suddenly died for no reason that I can tell. I wonder if those lasers can overheat or something...Before I died I did wreck an APC through the front armor with them though.
Blew myself up with a thermobaric grenade again. Pilot for this feel?
>Half the cops in Posadochny either have RPGs or anti-materiel rifles that instantly wipe you outOn one hand, that shit's fucking scary, but on the other, it's basically free anti-armour to use on the APCs that roam the map too, provided you don't get gibbed instantly
Found a garbage truck at the NOSPOL depot.It looks unfinished, is kind of slow, and can't be upgraded with a gun turret, but it can carry way more stuff than the loader panel van, and has 660 health.
>>738697227>MechWidow, Buckmaster, Juke>TankPantryboy, Killdozer>AGRAVVex, Tomahawk, Raider
>>738697227I always liked the fork,iirc, double gutterballs are a DAMN good time
>>738704372There's also an untextured station wagon in the game
Got greedy going for the extra loot instead of leaving with the carmine suit and got rolled by an APC :/
>>738704372Nice find, its a great loot car. Also where you find a Wheelchair in this game? I wanna do Dromon suit with armored Wheelchair.
>>738706389kek I had something similar happen. I'm doing a new save where I rush to get a mog asap which requires me getting the carmine.>Got LAWs from the crates in the first assassination mission for the APCs>After killing two of them, the third of the APCs is intact, hop in it so I can bulldoze the snipers>Get out to loot some bodies>There's a hidden cop I missed who btfos me with his beanbag launcher
>>738704372It has more slots, but only 1 of those can carry a large crate.Loader van can actually carry more if it has two of the 5000 capacity crates.
>>738630779This demo is REALLY GOOD this would have been an Early Access release like ~5 years ago. biggest problem so far is that I do not like how the Fork controls. I miss the old Brigador tanky mech control scheme. Idk if that's fixed for the heavier mechs, I haven't found a Toro yet.
Why is the motorcycle so slippery to control? I was wanting to make the armored one from the first game
>>738706826You can just change it in the settings like the first game.
>tfw the KalastajaHoly fuck this thing is STRONG AS FUCK, you waste all mooks in one shot and APCs in one burst and this thing is common as fuck.
>>738707107There's a ball tread bike you can loot in the chop shop, though it's a bit of a rare spawn
>>738707982Yeah that thing is crazy strong, and it uses the super common light cell ammo.They might nerf it like they did with the Black Hand in earlier builds.
What exactly can harm the APCs? i brought the .50cal sniper thinking it would chip away at them but it did fuck all to them
>>738709852LAWs will kill or disable with 1 shot to the side or back
brehs where do you get the parts for a mongoose? or do you have buy them? why do the mongooses you fought ingame drops corvid parts what the fuck???also bog rifle+amerigo 177 combo is busted as fuck lmao
>>738709852The Penpal does hurt them, but it takes several shots to disable the things, I think it takes about 7 or so shots? Directional damage is a thing too, shooting the front will deal less damage. For bullets, basically any bullets bigger than 5.56 will do noticeable damage to them. 5.56 might work, but it'd probably take too much focus fire. There's also energy weapons, like the Kalastaja the guy above mentioned.Obviously there's explosives too, but if you're doing wilderness for the first time to get the carmine rig it's not guaranteed you'll have them. All I had at the time was an m79, and HE alone doesn't really do much against armour.
>>738709852yeah the fiddy cal is actually pretty bad against vehicles. unironically the bog rifle is better
I made an upgunned pedo van. It sucks ass. No matter what gun I mount, it NEVER hits. Trued being slick and mounted the penpal, but most of the time it doesn't shoot, and when it does, it goes wherever. This is not the case when using the guns on foot.Can someone explain aiming mechanics to me? Or are vehicle guns just fucked right now.
>>738710340Nah the Cut Fifty makes short work of them, it's just that for .50BMG you need sustained fire for the high dps, which snipers obviously can't do
>>738709852Brigador rules still apply. If you hit them from behind they're die pretty quick to most guns, use energy weapons too.
>>738710395Try making a forklift killdozer and mount the sniper rifle+any (small) weapon you want. Thank me later
>>738710084>>738710272so bring a backpack full of LAWs then? is shoreline the best place to farm them?
game needs more suppressed weapons, whatever happened to the "lockdown" from the first game?
>>738710395There's two things that make aiming with vehicles weird:>HeightThe turret thing on the panel van (and others) is high enough above ground to sometimes not hit stuff that's too close or too low. Either back up, or if they're lying prone just wait for them to get up>Crosshair/reticle alignmentBrigador has this weird quirk where usually the guns won't point exactly at where the crosshair is, but rather very slightly to the sides of it. Not too noticeable when you're a big mech shooting other big mechs, but for infantry combat, I definitely notice something funky. I think that transferred over to Brigador Killers, I've found that while the manual lock on works well in most cases, sometimes it's better to aim slightly past an enemy so the line goes through them (you'll need to disable the auto lock on so you can do this).
>>738710395i wouldn't use sniper rifles on vehicles, because when you get aggro you just become a gigantic bullet sponge that can't realistically shoot back because sniper weapons take a very long time to re-gain accuracy and don't get any of the bonuses from crouching on foot
>>738679652>>738680296>Being able to access or just unload crates from a vehicle when you're outside of the vehicle would be a nice QOL change.I have some bad news anons. You CAN do that if you get the pedo van and upgrade it to a loader version. That one can haul 2 LG and 1 SM crate. It allows you to loot bodies (other tabs than just the ground) while driving the truck. The model of the truck has a robotic hand inside of it meaning the QoL you guys want may be locked behind vehicles with industrial robo hands.I just want to have a button that lets me to quick transfer items without having to drag and drop. Like Hover item -> press F->item changes inventories.>>738682816Those explode? The big red tanks did nothing for me when i blasted them with a shotgun.
>>738703820how the fuck do you even survive posadichny anyway? there's nowhere to hide if you wanna stealth and taking all the anti armor shots is literally impossible if you wanna tank. is a mech with some sort of shield a requirement?
>>738711052>Those explode?If you let a sparking ovo drive into the other ovos, yes.Even with crouch look I was never close enough to see it actually happen though.
Am I retarded, what's the problem here?
>>738711286i couldn't figure out how to repair vehicles either
>>738697227>mech8 ball>tankrounder>agravvex
>>738711105I've simply snuck in, loaded up on ammo, and floored it out. I'm not sure if using a police car helped with detection but it seemed pretty decent, I was able to drive in the main gate without the guards freaking out.
>>738711052you can hold shift to move items instantly by clicking, holding alt also grabs only one of an item
>>738709852Fiddy cal works best from behind, but it's really slow with the penpal. I had the best success with laser weapons until I got my hands on a 40mm launcher. LAWs will onetap but they seem kinda rare.
>>738695608>Also is the Sawbuck worth getting if I have the Mongoose?Sawbuck's weapon slots are 65kg each, there's some good shit in the 51-65 range. Also since it doesn't dual-wield you can aim and you don't have to deal with the weapon offsets causing you to miss targets you're locked on to. The only real downside is no shields, so you have to go farm Chop Shop for repair parts every few runs.>>738703820Those retards just blow themselves up half the time. I'd be in real trouble if they could aim.>>738706474I think Dromon Underground or the middle section of Chop Shop might have one.
>>738706474>Also where you find a Wheelchair in this game?there's one in roundabout, next to the van
>>738711286Went to Steam forums and dev said that the workaround to this is to salvage the machine and build a new one, so I'll take it's a bug then.
>>738711105I've done a couple 'no survivors' runs, and here's my general strategy if don't have a mech:1. Weapons that can pierce body armour are a must, about 80% of those cops have heavy armour, if you try to use 5.56, it'll take too long and five other dudes WILL rush or snipe you. Get a gun with a good firerate, mag size, and penetration. Some sort of anti-armour is a given, but you don't need to enter the mission with too much, it's fucking raining rocket launchers anyway for you to scavenge. Bring a LAW or two, or an RPG with a couple extra HEAT rockets to deal with the APCs near the start of the level, then scavenge rockets from there.2. Range is your main edge against all those enemies. Don't just rush in, take your time to steady your gun, so if they rush you, you're far enough away to take down a couple of them, if you can spot them, try to prioritize dude with the sniper rifles or RPGs, you can try grabbing one of their Penpals for picking them off from afar, but you risk getting rushed. Scout ahead with binoculars often, if there's an APC, start by shooting a rocket at it first to either disable or soften it up, prioritize the rear/sides. If you have even the slightest suspicion that you're going to be outgunned, just reposition.3. Don't stay in your vehicle for too long, it's a big, slow target that doesn't even have good accuracy, you can bring a van with you to haul loot, but when the mission starts get out of it.There's a bit of a coinflip too, since the left entrance has basically no cover, and enemies spawn closer to you, whereas the right side is usually near something you can at least hide behind to break line of sight.
random shit that might help someone>penetration goes up massively based on distance, you can kill basic police APCs with the .45 smg if you point blank it in the ass>mongoose suit can have a medium crate in its slot, cinderblock can hold small crate>you can sell the stuff the merchant sells, just bring it in a van and park it on the thing then go to the item and click sell instead of buy, you can make fuckloads of money just selling simple and complex parts if you have hundreds sitting around>the cyborg melee guys in the dromon suit hideout have corvid legs, the grey textured power suit guy who spawns on the chop shop sometimes drops loyalist legs>if your late game and want to farm money I think the best or at least most fun way is to run sinkhole, you get a cash prize at the end of it thats worth around 15k and you can rush through the layers quickly
Fucking inventory is killing me how do you sell to the merchant
>>738712140he only buys shit he sells, so you have to bring shit like the exotic ammo he is selling and click on his listing for it and click sell
>>738711105I Rambo'd my way through it with the Dromon rig and Penpal / Kalastaja plus some spare RPG ammo. It's a lot safer when you're killing stuff from halfway across the map.Fun fact: APCs are immune to .22LR from the front but not from the back, so if one of them gets stuck driving into a wall you can just go grab another one and safely hose it down with bullets (assuming you took out all the nearby infantry).
>>738712073>you get a cash prize at the endit has a bottom? lamei thought it was gonna be an endless dungeon with progressively harder levels that you can brag to your friends
>>738712609They will probably have an endless version that does increase in difficulty down the line. I hope the biome will be more randomized as well.
I swear the Mongoose just gets cooler with every piece of Brigador media that gets released
>>738712902can't wait to see him finished in BK
>>738712902>>738712918I love that it actually feels powerful without having to resort to stealth trickery. This game really nails the sense of scale of going from infantry to mech suit.
>>738712609yeah I was disappointed as well, its currently quite simple, just a few floors of close in fighting and then enemies dont bring out heavy stuff like tanks or mechs so if you go in with late game stuff your not gonna get challenged still, I would say the main problem with the demo right now is that there is no real challenge for tanks/mechs/powersuit, even that last police mission can be facerolled with a mongoose just spraying everyone down with double .50. Obviously the devs arnt dumb and this is just a case of the game being heavily unfinished but I hope they add some new hard mode mission packed with enemy exoskeletons and vehicles soon enough
>>738712609Stardew Valley Skull CavernSome loot tables are funny found a weapon pile at the start of sinkhole that had an RPG, buzzsaws and rifles, wow
>>738712970I think the hardest seed I got for the sinkhole was when the cops eventually started getting APCs and the corner camping scavs with their 4 gauge shotguns.
>>738712962Hell yeah, totally agree.
>>738712902>Brigador>chaff, mainly for challenge runs>Book>I'll do it for Kinny >Pilgrim >utter catharsis>Killers >death on legs jack me in brothers, I will join the battle spirits in death and glory
wonder if fuel will matter in the final game
With the premise of this game being you're part of a group of Solo Nobrean survivors that are doing terrorism against the Brigadors and the SNC from the first game are you essentially gated out of the big crazy/expensive shit? I liked the Loyalist and Corvid vehicles but Spacer vehicles were my shit, and I can't imagine some dirt poor scrap hacker even being able to use their tech.
>>738645131some manner of free roam, you select a mission, drive out into mar nosso, navigate to a location relevant to the mission and then it takes you to the mission and once it's done you have to get back to a safe house, means you have to stealth or race your way to and from your ops
>>738713335Plenty of Spacer goodies to go around
>>738713248I bet they implement a separate fuel slot with its own weight limit and the fuel ticks down with distance travelled
>>738713335I'm pretty sure they're bringing in whatever they can adapt to the new scale.
>>738713248Is it used for anything right now?
>>738713812I'm not certain that getting in bigger rides won't just scale the game out. Perhaps they've already stated that isn't going to happen, but that's what I assumed.
>>738713248Isn't fuel in the ammo slot? I expect molotovs and flamethrowers.
Carmine suit upgrade made me feel powerful so I was trying to run up and machine gun APC's point blank from behind. Got one doing this but another got the turret around in time, if you get hit enough you get knocked down and can't do anything.
>>738714020Could you kneel in order to get out of reach of the turret?
>>738714020the knockdown is hilarious with cinderblock as well. who knew that taking a million bullets to everywhere on your body while you are uh... jet suit skating? would knock you the fuck down lol
>>738713852The first mission is pretty big but I don't think it the scale is as big as the first game's. I think it's safe to assume that's as big as it'll go.
>>738713335>>738713812>>738714151Considering we have shit that doesn't even fit on the Rounder, I think it's safe to say the scale will eventually go up to Ultra-class vehicles.
>>738714276neat. god bless these dudes and their arcane skills at gamedev
>>738694669It's in the garage, below the display cases with the rigs.
>>738669715I kind of enjoyed the Urban Strike on foot stuff back in the day, but I was a retarded kid then.
Just got the Cinderblock and I love it, it kind of feels like driving a speedy a-grav. I've been using the Talkback laser sniper to play hit and run with it.>>738640941>>738642826The Dromon has a large weapon slot, bigger even than the Cindeblock. In fact it's the exact weight needed to use the Black Hand. That plus the increased zoom seems to suggest it's meant for a stealthier playstyle.
What is actually the point of hardpoints if I can't even mount SML class weapons on them?
>>738711286had the same issue but I've been able to repair vehicles if they lose some more health.
Is suppression tied to caliber? 5.56 doesn't do it. But I found an HK51 and even with the 20 round mag and two shot bursts to conserve ammo suddenly entire squads will hit the dirt just because 7.62 is flying by them.
>>738710432>lost my only Cut Fifty to a hero cop who decided to rush me with RPG and take us both out
>>738715361It might be. Firing the Bluetongue causes everyone nearby to lie down for like a full minute.
>>738715361Just like in real life
>>738714118Even the massive powersuits you find in the dromon lairs and sinkhole get knocked on their asses by just 7.62 bullets, it's pretty funny. Hope it gets tuned down though, those supposedly tougher enemies basically aren't a threat when you can stunlock them. There was one instance where I was in the sinkhole and got surrounded by two dudes in cinderblock powersuits, and got stunlocked by the two of them circling me and knocking me over with their auto-shotguns until I died.
>>738715361https://youtu.be/dGPeSUDbUJ4This but it's wearing a carmine suit and shooting police cruisers
>>738714151I can confirm the game does zoom out when you get in bigger vehicles.
>>738715953>those supposedly tougher enemies basically aren't a threat when you can stunlock themThey aren't supposed to be all that tough, there just aren't a lot of different types of enemy units in the game yet.I feel like these types of enemies are supposed to become the basic cannon fodder at later game.
>>738710084You can get a guaranteed RPG from scrapyard
>>738714867You mount infantry scale weapons on them, machine guns, etc. I have a vehicle that can mount something like size 150 weapons but I don't have any bigger than like 70.
>>738715953I like kicking those fuckers with Carmine. Get jostled punks
>>738716450Oh, so hardpoints are only for handheld weaponry and for the real Brigador ordnance I need something entirely different?
>>738633707It's alright, the devs will make yet another long whiny post about how they had a lack of sunlight making this amazing game.
>>738716552You need larger hardpoints for larger weapons, they go all the way to x-large which have a weight limit of around 550 iirc
>>738709852Mae Dois 50.cal bolted onto a Partyvan rips them a new one easily. I can only imagine how weaksauce these things would be in the first game. Slow as shit they would be eaten alive by Donkey and Carlos carrying varlets.
>>738697227>MechEightball>TankBrokenheart>AgravTied between the Propter and Pompadour.
Anyone know which map spawns the Betsy tank chassis?
Since this is the GK thread, any yuros here who have ordered something from the shop?I remember there being a survey about UK and Euro stuff for better shipping rates or something last year, but it seems nothing came out of it, or did it?When trying to order the powersuit minis I pay as much in shipping as I pay for the already expensive minis.
>>738717134Gotta buy it from the merchant
>>738630779Bump for interest.
I was not prepared for the power of dark buddy...
>>738717893BITCH status: collected
>Doing sinkhole>Sudden line of dialogue from mystery nigga>Expect a bossfight, maybe another mech to challenge my Mongoose>It's just that buddy bot thing and a gang of corvids on forklifts>My bonesaw-equipped Mog minces all of them with no resistanceI mean, it was kind of funny
could honestly spin-off sinkhole into a separate rougelike mode
>>738630779This is pretty much the only game I'm looking forward to, nothing else comes close. I have close to 2k hours in Brigador 1.
>>738719390BITCH status: redeemed
>>738719623how do you even get 2k hours out of the first brigador?i could see myself playing a full game like killers with some randomization to the levels for around that long, but just grinding out the same levels for 2000 hours?
>>738630779If one of the brothers are lurking this thread for brownie points we need a Corvid suit pronto. The cyan fullface helmet and a spray painted racing suit from the enemies themselves is a must have. Say it gives you a global speed buff across the board due to huffing all that aerosol between missions like a madlad.
>>738713836yeah, for making jihad jeeps
>>738697549Dorothy my beloved
>>738720960That's the cinderblock rig
>>738720914have you noticed bk has randomization to some of the levels? more than just the spawns
for me it's the betushka
>>738721440the randomization is quite shallow, but yes, I have noticed that it's there.sometimes there are roadblocks, sometimes there aren't, sometimes those roadblocks are occupied by the police, sometimes by the corvids.there are also spawn points that sometimes spawn vehicles, sometimes don't, also the vehicles that do spawn are randomized.then there are a couple of events like corvid arms deals going on that don't always spawn in.it's nothing that seriously affects the gameplay or adds anything major to the replayability of the maps, but i guess it works as a proof of concept for randomization.
>Zoom in on the cinderblock rig>It has two cinderblocks over the legs as makeshift platingThose corvids are crazy man
>Corvid cinderblock turns his buddies into paste as he charges at me
>>738715361I've been pinning down corvids with the AR-18 in bursts. Are you fighting the cops? Think the armored ones are more resistant to suppression.
>>738722326>>738721883Hey, its in the name
How much do you bet that all the wacky stuff people discover now will be removed?
>>738723323like what?
>>738723323I feel energy weapons and the XL crate are getting hit.
>>738723323Wacky stuff like what?The only thing that I don't think is working as intended is the fact that you can get the 5000kg crates from the black market, but I have no clue how they would "fix" that since that capacity is required to fit all of the parts in a single crate.
>>738723323Such as? That fuckhuge merchant crate might take a hit since the devs outright said somewhere on steam forums about still figuring out the inventory system and how to approach that. The only other thing that comes to mind is strapping a crate onto a Mongoose, which can then be put into the van.
>>738723323Carmine being able to stunlock Lobos to death
>>738723634Those powersuits that hobble around the sinkhole? Those things get stunlocked by everything, I don't think they even have guns.
>>738723746>>738723634The cripple punching gimp suits? The guys guarding the Dromon guy?
>>738723323I hope the weapon progression gets sorted in the final version, the trash/makeshift weapons get replaced too quickly.
>>738723746>>738723793Yeah those are Lobos. I hope they at least tune their aggro so that they rush you more often.
can any lorefag explain the dromon guy? if hes a rebel boss then why is his villa/cave entrance protected by cops?
>>738724041This, I was running around with a Zitha and so much 5.56 that I never even had to consider being sparing with my ammo after like 2 missions.
>>738724220the police are corrupt as fuck and majority of them are actually gang members
>Brigador got boring quickly>This looks a lot betterI might give it a go, the ability to go on foot and steal different vehicles/make your own monstrosities might be just what the first game was missing.
>>738723427>but I have no clue how they would "fix" that since that capacity is required to fit all of the parts in a single crate.Turn the items into a singular item (name it packed parts or someshit like that) that fits the crate slots that gets turned into all the parts when you put it in your garage inventory
>>738724770Good thinking. They could just make it like what they've done with the rigs minus the auto assembly.
>>738724041I think that's just from a lack of levels/missions to spread out all the weapons, combined with the drop tables basically giving you a really solid .45 ACP smg pretty much right from one of the first enemies, and that tutorial mission just handing you a shotgun. Some more missions at the start when you don't have much could help steady the gear progression and give you the chance to use those more scrappy guns more.Come to think of it, that tutorial mission would've been a good excuse to demonstrate the stealth mechanic if it limited you more>You start with no weapons, just binoculars, so you're incognito>You have to find a crate with a Liberator pistol and a couple rounds, and use that to take out a corvid and loot a less shitty gun>But you have to be selective, because the incognito status drops the moment you draw/fire the pistol
I know the game is still in beta, but man i wish the inventory management can be a little bit less dogshit. Was it really necessary to drop your bag first if you wanna access its content?Stalker tarkov etc has spoiled me with their inventory QoL features
>3 shot a cinderblock through multiple wallsThe Geist is a fucking unit, wish they would tell us what it actually fires.
