sup my BrigdaorsI just got killed by a couple of cinderblocks on the fourth or fifth level of Sinkhole and lost my loader van with merchant cratesSuch is life
>>738754478funny you should mention the cinderblock, I just picked it up.got pasted in my carmine by a coffin with heavy weapons while I waited for the garage update, got a little too full of my pink self.
>>738754638forgot my pichonestly I hope that spacer rig is placeholder, it looks really goofy.the cinderblock is literally just a chopped down mog on roller-skates and I love it.
So whats the premise of brigador killers? We are assassins from Solo nobre but in the first game we were busting up solo nobre? Seems odd.
>>738755218The idea is we're on different sides of the same conflict.In the first game you're betraying your planet and its people, or you're space-borne, hyper-cocaine addled cocaine gentry shooting up neighborhoods for kicks.In Killers you're insurgent Nobreans. The idea is that the SNC's attack on Solo Nobre created a new faction, Loyalists, with both Corvid and NEP elements. People who were united when the company invited spacers to liquify civilians with gamma emitters.So now you're on the other side of the space river, so to speak. I feel like this game is coming out at a very topical time.
>>738755481I enjoy the fact that a game can have these elements while resisting the urge to explictly reference current year. I'm more interested in the current events of Solo Nobre than I am whatever dogshit is on tv irl.
>>738754638>garage updateOh yeah?
>>738755753Oh you misundertand me, I think, I mean the period after you drop of rig parts where the garage is "updating" with your new kit.
>>738755972Ah, yeah, the between mission. Though I like how the inventory takes some doing, I sure wish I had easier access to a med kit when those cinderblocks were raping me.
>>738755637the interesting thing about this setting and the things that happen in it is how real it all is.it's not just right now, you can imagine any conflict of the last 50 years and see it.>corpo interest in the name of liberating people under a despot>local resistance isn't considered an ally, they're a local threat to be put down like anything else>we are not liberating these people, they are under new management
>>738756106Probably holds true over the last 5000 years that we know about and the 100,000 before that we don't know about.
is the AI less dogshit than brigador
>>738756357It's worse. APCs are constantly getting stuck driving into walls. On the wilderness mission I was able to walk up and kick one to death.
>>738754478Made me go back to the original and finally complete the closed casket special (finished literally less than 10 minutes ago).
>>738755218The protags in killers are a bunch of disgruntled nobreans a bit upset that brigadors leveled most of their city so they went to space florida where wealthy people retire to hunt down the brigadors from the first game.
>>738755218https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werwolf
Is there supposed to be some way to make a decent amount of money? There's things you can buy from the black market guy that cost like 10k but all I find is pocket change from mooks
>>738758409If you do the assassination in the city mission you can pulp every civilian running around for ~100 credits each, or you can do the police checkpoint on the highway which has two chests with ~2k each if you have a good way to deal with the one APC.
>>738757004Nice work
>>738758409If you have cinderblock you can race through Vanderberg, there is a chest near the APC with ~2000 and small one at the end of the shanty town with ~1000. If you bring an RPG or something to spank the APC or just lure it out and run past you can snag the cash, kill the marks and be out in very short order. I do like killing or farming that APC though, either way you get two SAWs and a fuck ton of ammo for them which sets you up for a lot of other missions.
I actually just failed the wilderness mission trying to get the carmine suit parts. I lost nearly the entire net worth of my garage. I had a upgunned loader van with the porco and machine gun ammo. I was trying to snipe the APCs with a .50 caliber rifle I had but didn't have enough ammo. The APC bullets shredded my van waaay faster than I thought. I am poor now. That whole map is kind of ass. Fuck me. What guns are even anti-vehicular by this point? I think I found that .50 bmg sniper by luck. Love the game though.
>>738757004I need to reinstall as well.>>738759425The secret is long range, the APCs are using .22lr and can't leave their starting track.Get you a cheaper up-gun that can mount a bog rifle or two, take the APCs out from across the fence where they can't see or hit you.
>>738759519But don't you need a vehicle with a "trailer" to get the parts out? I thought the van should be enough. Well, the "loader" van. Not sure about any other vehicles. Which vehicles have a loader in it? or trailer or whatever?
>>738755481So great leader is dead and was ostensibly a real person, not an AI?
>>738759425You can get some 7.62mm (or something like that) automatic weapons in aubery's neighborhood, and loads of ammo for them. Those can take out the APCs in my experience, but you still gotta be careful.Game actually gets significantly easier after wilderness because your health quintuples
I never understood what the scary face robot things were on the Brigador 1 banner. I don't remember seeing them in game.
>>738759693ah. So 7.62 will damage apcs? I could have sworn I was shooting my porco LMG at one and it wasn't damaging it. I probably didn't see the HP bar. I will try again.
>>738759591Anything with 200 storage space inside will do.It doesn't need to be a container, and also there's a van parked midway up the level.I fought with my gunny lowboy all the way to the suit, lost it to the last APC, and went all the way back for the van, then freewheeled out of there with the suit presumably rolling around on the bed of a white van.
>>738759425Skip down to sinkhole and look for 40mm grenade launchers, RPGs, LAWs or thermobaric grenades, they're all pretty common drops around the third floor and all will fuck up APCs.
>>738759612It was probably computer generated, but organized by humans.There might be some kind of Weyland Yutani AI overlord, who knows? The alcoholic spacer literally gave up his bodily autonomy to an algorithm.What we do know is they sent out the contract to every terminal in the city and device capable of receiving it, all at the same time. Played the "GREAT LEADER IS DEAD" through every radio and comms unit.It could be at least partially AI, but on the surface it's pure Space Corpo Banana Republic shit.
>>738759813Zed Primes? They're a high end Spacer a-grav, they show up on higher difficulties and you can unlock them yourself.I can't quite remember but I don't think they were in the initial lauch of the game and were added later.
>>738759831I'm pretty sure I was able to take them out with those, could be misremembering. On that same mission I mentioned you can also find a big container of weapons, which will sometimes have a LAW (single use rocket launcher). If you shoot an APC with that thing it'll knock the driver out of it and you can steal it, drive it home, fix it up, and then use it to complete that mission. If all else fails anyway.
>>738759813Zed primes aren't that rare.
>>738759813They show up in the up-armored edition missions, mostly, on high difficulties.Two heavy mounts in the eyes, they come standard with two Atomo lasers in their, basically glare you to death in seconds.They're basically just "Revenge of the Spacer Shield unit," angry pop-cans, engage at a distance.
Do yourselves a favor and set Level Aim to toggle in the menu.
>>738760649I don't really use it often. But maybe I would if I didn't use lockon as much

>>738755218tl;dr>Solo Nobre has fallen>Brigadors who successfully sabotaged Solo Nobre's infrastructure and extracted are mostly living it up in the lap of luxury on another planet called Mar Nosso where they're hailed as heroes and liberators>you play as a bunch of remnants of Solo Nobre who've successfully infiltrated Mar Nosso and you're waging guerilla warfare against the SNC, primarily targeting Brigadors
>>738761217Is Mar Nosso another planet or like a city or what

>>738762516>Ohhhh, you're from the slooooow district, I'm sooooorry to heeeaaar thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat~
>>738762023The Kalastaja is the most broken weapon in the game but pic related is the best Turret weapon>insane reload speed, even beats pistols>high damage>no spread>ammo takes no spaceOnly downside is the rather short range and magazine but with how fast it reloads is not a problem at all
>>738762898I have one, and hi-cells, can't build anything heavy enough to mount it to, currently.I'm low on armor.But at least I have this thing to run sinkhole.
>>738759831Facing and distance matters a lot, from the rear and up close you can even hurt APCs with .22
>>738763135hell yeah forky bro
>>738757004Well done! Now do it as Precursor James.
>>738760649What does it do? That's the one default on caps lock right?
>>738763983it sets your aim to aim as if you were going for your most distant possible shotgood for keeping your shots at the same height regardless of how close or far you're aiming, and with laser weapons it turns into a perfect straight line.
>>738759831>I probably didn't see the HP barFor some reason the HP bar doesn't always appear when you hover the crosshair over them. But yes, 7.62 does chunk APCs, but like the other guy said with proper distance and positioning most things will damage them.
>>738754478Buy an ad loser.
>>738765131your janny application get rejected again?
>>738762898Gauss must be having a great time designing all these guns. Then its all rendered down to like 5 pixels lol lmao. No wonder it has taken 15 years for a sequel
>>738765080I keep getting murdered by the 7.62 APCs when I have every advantage, the right weapons and just get cocky and eat a bunch of shots to the chest of my carminewhat an idiot
>>738754720The concept art looks a lot better, the helmet is a bunch of animal skulls welded together.
The campaign missions seem fun enough but garage mode craft-a-thon is by now the last shit I want to do in a game. To make that kind of autism work you at least need a really sleek inventory system with auto-sorting as an option. Diablo clones have that and you're putting gems into swords, not making mechs.Also making mechs crouch to shoot long range instead of standing up to shoot over cover (and at a greater distance) is highly questionable in my opinion
>>738767807I disagree, garage is amazing but a look further button that isn't crouch would be cool
I just bought a heavy guns crate and it's filled with 500 weight shit lolI guess big vehicles confirmed!
>>738767978>boot up old brigador>click mission>pick a mech>playThis is classic arcade stuff, three clicks to action. I'll buy Brigador Killers since the main campaign seems like more of this with the nice side of feature creep. I can stand the people talking.>height/depth>water>smarter AI>maybe 3d proper? still with budget graphics>MULTIPLAYERthis is what I would want to see in a Brigador 2
>>738768025Yeah if the main game isn't getting the Touro they teased then you can give them a thumbs down review guilt free shame freeThey hand you the weird ass pinball ffsand there's this monstrosity. I was thinking this would be space vegas, it might be, no idea
>>738768475I wish they'd kept this colour scheme. Everything in the demo looks muddy and brown.
>>738762898>>738763135Never seen that before, is it from Sinkhole?
>>738760941they are loops lifted fromhttps://www.audioollie.com/hb1
aw yea
Give me a powersuit with the weapon slots of a Sawbuck and the movement of a Cinderblock and I'll make the Long night look like a bar brawl. >>738770462I have never seen a single unit of the ammo that this uses.
>>738769303I think the lower saturation fits for the most part, the neons in the red light district really pop which is cool.
>>738769998I've gotten them from Sinkhole and from the guns crate in Scrapyard after you've gotten the suit. It's pretty great.
>>738770720I didn't for a long time either, then I got a bunch either from lower levels on sinkhole or from cleaning out the ammo depot I think. It's possible some came in the heavy guns crate too.
>Picked up an LYAM>No clue what it did, pulling the trigger didn't seem to do anything>Decided to sit behind cover and point its marker at a group of cops and APCs to wait and see if it's just got a long fire delay>Goddamn that was sick
why is this archivement at 5%? i only played 21h in total and got it
How do i move items to and from vehicles and crates without taking them out 1 by 1 into my inventory? Likewise for transferring from vehicles to the base inventory and crates to base inventory after mounting on a vehicle.The whole inventory systems is a bit of a mess.
>>738771594if you hold something in your hands (left klick) you can just click on your vehicle/crate on the buttom, it should switch the tab
>>738771707>>738771594also dont sleep on your shift-click
>>738771195Im surprise some are rather rare even when they're basic as hell.
>>738771195>>738772324They didn't add acheivments until years after release. Also most people are casuals who got filtered by the game not being a twin stick shooter.
am i retarded? i put a car on the spot marked 01 and it's gone when i came back. how do i store vehicles?
>>738772664i think its because i took the box off the truck that was in 01, and the box was "saved" and the truck got scrapped.
i would love a flamethrower or something similar like a napalm canister thrower akin to the chem thrower
>>738772586that would explain that, i have no clue in what way the game evolved since i started 3 days ago
can someone sauce me up with the song that is playing in the background? https://youtu.be/d0w6UnuRgBA
where does it store your shit when you leave it on the ground? it says "loose items will be stored" but they're not in the loadout box.
>>738773143i'm 50% they get scrapped
FUKAT WURK
can i get a loredumb on mother's love please
>>738773186i think you're right.i didn't want to have to one-at-a-time put the shit into the armory inventory. that's so fuckin wack.
>>738773279doesnt shift-click work there too?
you can say what you want but Zed-Prime is definitely a reference to zardos. first the design and secondly the voicelines https://youtu.be/Sr4eC0Qdnjs?t=89
>>738773363it was like 300 pounds of shit i had in a car. i dropped it on the ground because it said "loose items will be stored". much faster to do that than to back the car up to the armory thing and try to drag between tabs. it looks like my ammo and parts and stuff were stored but all the cool guns got evaporated.
>>738773427you can just park the car on the armory pad and then open the armory and use the tabs in the lower left to unload the vehicle, your character and the boxes inside the vehicle all with shift clicking.That being said I also had some shit vanish when I just left it on the floor, so I don't think it's getting put away correctly.
does it get easier to move around 500kg of shit? just got my shit blown up because the forklift got itself stuck on a gas pump. i spent nearly 15 minutes on this and it feels bad man
>>738773616yeah that solves the problem
>>738773001Is it this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3WmEYtpFQY&list=PLon-eCq6oXhT1J0LzYJnr_tS4czHQYJ3h&index=11
>>738773001https://youtu.be/z3WmEYtpFQY?si=Ml7OTtgXkzo2qra_or just search for Smile For The Camera (Makeup and Vanity Set) if the link fucks up.
>>738774524>>738774550thank you very much
>>738773997I've been content with Loader Van, but in general I like the infantry gameplay. Realized by accident that I can sacrifice one cargo slot to store a small mech instead to make a proper insurgency truck.
Since OST was mentioned I only noticed that I bought the audiobook from itch.io and the rar says it's the audiobook and soundtrack but it had only audiobook, normal?
>>738773997in the Salvage Yard mission you can pretty easily enter with no vehicle and leave with an up-armored forklift + large crate filled with goodies. just start the mission by blowing up the first enemy Cinderblock when it moves near the gas tanks and you can retrieve the forklift easily
>>738754478>my Brigadors>not Briggers2/10 needs work
>>738775171brigger is our word but you can say brigga if you want
>>738755218Spook/Romanian simulator. You run through different maps stealing everything that isn't nailed down so you can build up an arsenal for taking on bigger contracts.
>>738757004>not running as the main man himselfGrim
>>738759813It's a Zardoz reference because the Spacers are a bunch of decadent crackheads flying around wearing banana hammocks in spess.
>>738767807Nice chicken legs bro
aiiieeee chat how could this be?what should i do to get it unstuck thoughbeit? wont the tank get dismantled if i quit and restart the game (because it's currently not sitting in the gantry)?
>>738775603You don't fit in with a combat armor, put on the pilot overalls and get in.
>>738775603You need to change into the loyalist suit. Carmine suit's too bulky to fit in a tank
>>738775634>>738775649damn that's stupid. thanks though
Wilderness mission just keeps filtering me man, those fucking APCs just melt my unarmored ass, i have no idea how to do this shit
>>738776270Stealth is your fren. Also they can't really see or shoot that far, make use of that what you will
>>738774686Not sure, maybe the whole ost isn't out yet. I know itch has other things coming still
>>738776270You don't have to do them in order, I didn't beat wilderness for a while, same issue. You can get an rpg from scrapyard...
>>738776270Binoculars go to a weapon slot, use them from crouch and you can see and hear APCs way before they can spot you.
on shoreline (literally mission 3) there was a chest at the end with like 6 huge weapons in it, like 40-80 pounds each or something. i didn't bring a vehicle since it wasn't a salvage mission. oh well i'll just come back with a van and pick them up.literally 10 times i've just gunned it to the end and it's not spawned once.actually losing it.
>>738776851Oh shit can you put medkit in a slot too?
>>738776270If you're doing it to get the powersuit, you gotta be sneaky. If you evade their patrol routes you only need to fight one or two of them, rest can be avoided. Ways to take them down were brought up in a previous thread, but out-ranging them with high-caliber guns/explosives and shooting their asses is the safest and most efficient way.Roundabout usually spawns a lot of loot, apparently LAWs can spawn in Shoreline too.
>>738776961Corvids took it lmao
>>738773426What's the lore behind Zed-Prime?
>Mongoose in Brigador is a slightly beefier mook you barely notice>Mongoose in Killers is fucking death incarnate that can equip double bonesaws to shred armoured APCs four times its size
>>738777110how the hell do i sneak and retrieve the suit? i need a van to take it and the moment i get on one everyone beelines towards me
>>738777351Spacers are hedonistic nutcases that made Zed-Prime primarily to scare the shit out of non-Spacers
>>738765847Here's his Mog design for the game
>>738777075Fuck, I haven't even tried that lol. Just panic healing under fire, no pressure.
>>738777585It's a combination of killing the infantry and avoiding the apcs. If you go north from spawn you can kick down sections of fence and prep your vehicle route. Kill all guards you see. The suppressed SMG works good on them. Keep heading that direction and you'll find a vehicle elevator. Once the guards are dead you can scout around to find the apcs and the suit crate. The APCs are easy to kite using cover if you don't have explosives to knock the crews out.
>>738778185Me neither hope it works
Apparently the Faber APC is in the files
>>738777585What I did was something like this>Enter mission with the van>Head south-east, wait for the patrolling APC to head upwards away from the gate, before driving straight into the facility>Leave the van once you get to the forest area, follow the path deeper into the facility>Either evade or (preferrably) disable the APC patrolling the eastern side, and head north-west, taking out the cops in the area, mind the snipers that might spawn>(optional) There's a big crate in a parking lot, has a lot of explosives and ammo, but you need to take care of the APC, or hope the retard AI pathfinds to some random place far away, there's an elevator nearby too that you can send and abandoned APCs into your garage through>Head north-east, clearing all enemies along the way, there's an APC somewhere up there you might have to deal with>Once the path is clear head back to the van, and drive it to the chest with the carmine rig, taking the same route to avoid any enemies (again, mind the APCs)>Stuff it in the van and GTFO (either take the northern exit where the northern APC is/was, or head back to where you entered the mission)
>>738778441The fuck? Is that in the Chop Shop mission? Never seen that thing whenever I was there.More importantly, can you mount guns on it?
>>738760027>What we do know is they sent out the contract to every terminal in the city and device capable of receiving it, all at the same time. Played the "GREAT LEADER IS DEAD" through every radio and comms unit.That was in the book, not in the game
>>738778587Not my screenshot, it was spawned in using commands.Faber APCs are described having 30mm autocannons, so that turret likely isn't for show.
>>738774637>I can sacrifice one cargo slot to store a small mechelaborate
>>738778932Anything that can hold a large crate can hold a powersuit.
>>738778932Just found this out too you can pack a fully loaded Mongoose in the back of the van. So roll into a level, deploy and kill stuff, then pack it up and scavenge for gear.
>>738778932I have two loader vans, one has room to carry a mongoose or the coffin and one has one more LG container for even more looting. Technically those are powersuits and not mechs but I just call them small mechs.
how the HECK do you recharge shields if there's no shielded enemies?
>>738779213future enemies if i had to guess? or maybe they'll add charging ports in levels
>>738779408no i mean currently, to the anons who use mongooses and shit
What other vehicle can carry the big crate other than the forklift and pedovan?
>>738779213Press X to turn it on/off.It will regenerate to full in the garage, currently no way to restore it in missions.
>>738779213There's no way to charge shields during missions yet, since there's no shield drops.If you're in the garage, press X to turn it off and on again
>>738777719Unless the heavier ordnance starts to appear, this thing is going to be a nightmare for anything not in a mog.
>>738779775There's an unfinished garbage truck that can spawn in the NOSPOL ammo depot mission, has one large slot, and about six small mount slots
i didnt give brigador much of a chance
>>738777447Mongo is great even in Brigador you shut your whore mouth
>>738780043Mongoose is the stealth hard mode of the game when the Treetop is right there for total block destruction and horn blowing dominance.
>>738780019Welcome Brigador
>>738780371Double Bonesaw rapes even big head cucks
>>738779978They spawn in Chop Shop too I parked a stinky mongoose in the back and rolled out
>>738780642You're seriously going to trust a pair of old ass 20th century German machineguns to bring down advanced Spacer tech? Are you insane?
I wonder if later missions will turn full Brigador where you blow up entire city blocks with custom made gear, would be cool
>>738780836They act tough exactly as long as their shields hold, with German RPMs that's not long.
>>738780928The trailer on the steam page shows a couple shots of driving a tank and one of the medium-size mechs, so looks like it will.
How do you aim with mongoose, the convergence isn't ideal
>>738781397I free aim and adjust aim based on the tracers, pick guns with enough dakka to do so.
wasn't there some chud drama with the devs?
>>738781582who cares, this isn't reddit
>>738779213
Are there going to be "pilots" for something like the garage mode or something similar? I loved that about the original Brigador
>>738781397It's a thing in the first game too. Just aim slightly to the side so the tracer/indicator actually lines up or goes through a dude, and then fire with the respective gun. Might want to disable the auto lock on too and just have it be manual instead.
>>738779181Inventory feels a bit clunky at the moment but it's really cool it lets you do stuff like this
>>738781683I get what they aim for, it's a silly if in general hit-and-run tactic game you roll in with a moving repair station and start fixing up your war machine, having in practice better supply lines than professional armies do.
https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/pdfmjd/game_dev_gausswerks_when_a_2000s_indie_game_dev/devs are problematic I will pirate
>>738770171no, they’re not. not sure what gave you that idea. the only “loop” I used is the vocal melody halfway through the song, and that one is directly from the Logic library, not any outside source, and even that melody was heavily processed and chopped up by me before being used in the music. I would never just lift a loop and plop it into one of my songs
>>738772830Probably; the big squares aren't real parking spaces, and containers/backpacks count as vehicles, so if you dropped a crate on the ground it might have considered that "parked" instead of the actual car. If you get a warning when leaving then something's in the wrong place.
>>738781701one can hope, garage mode has real potential to be an insurgency sim
>>738782420Yes, containers occupy parking slots too. You'll know if the square is yellow instead of green that there is something on it.
>>738781701maybe with Anchor Team, the demo missions made it look like they have different specializations
>>738760941Nice
>>738782294You're out of your mind if you think im reading all that
>>738763676>>738775303I'm sorry but I don't think my testicles are ready for that level of CBT

>troons doing the troon thing on RedditSo drama-free game then lol
brazilians are not white so it's okay for them to be chuds anyway how's the game compared to the first one?
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.
>>738755218you play as the losers of the first game hunting down the Brigadors you played as.
>>738783214initially smaller scale and infantry focused, you can really feel the difference the moment you get a piece of actual military hardware
>>738783214It's rougher but it's also a demo of an early version so lots of opportunities to polish it up. You've got more freedom in the levels since you can get in and out of vehicles and pick up weapons and stuff. It's got campaign missions and the freelance mode has been replaced with the "garage" mode, which is an extraction shooter mode basically where you slowly build up your supply of weapons and vehicles. It's a lot more "low level" than the first game, at least for now, in that you're not really gonna be smashing through buildings quite as much. But the opening level of the campaign shows that that's very much still a thing you can do, you just need to build up to it.
>>738783214I liked everything except the gameplay loop about the first game, so I enjoy this a lot more despite there being a lot of unfinished things and the UI being pretty confusing and unintuitive at first.Give it a shot yourself, it's a free demo and a small download.
>>738783361Funnily enough the demo is still 3 times the filesize of the first game lol
>>738761824Lol that's a pretty funny premise for a planet
>>738783392That is actually pretty funny, still pretty small though.
>>738780836Yes.gigachad.tiff
>>738782294>4 years agolmao who fucking cares
Wait, there's actually gameplay and stuff to do beyond the 5 assassination missions?
>>738784449In garage mode yes
How does this compare to the original? I really enjoyed the first game but always thought it could have done with some sort of strategic game mode linking the missions together. Owning a shitty little PMC unit and taking on missions to earn money and slowly build up an arsenal of mechs to take on harder missions would have been interesting.What little I've seen of Killers it looks like you don't control mechs any more. Is that something they're working towards or do they not want us piloting mechs at all?
>>738785204You can still pilot mechs, but you can also walk around on the ground. What's available right now is more the early game so you don't really have many mech options, you do get to play with some in the campaign missions though.About the building up thing you mentioned, garage mode is kinda like that in that it's an extraction mode where you go into missions and can bring back supplies, weapons and vehicles, and then modify them or construct new ones from parts.
>>738781701The bottom left of the screen in garage shows your mercs face, some Coraline's Dad looking motherfucker. It stands to reason there will be characters to choose from.Im hoping for someone new from Volta. Perhaps a WOOman from Volta
>>738785405>woman from volta>tampon mask
>>738785204Imagine if in Brigadors you start on foot and have to loot, craft or buy all weaponry, ammo and vehicles. In Demo there is a short tutorial series of missions and more free roam garage mode, there are no mechs yet but seeing you can build small tanks and powersuits so I don't see why the larger vehicles wouldn't come into play later in the game.
>>738785204Demo has the Mog and Coffin powersuits, the Fork light mech, Arlo and Skate grass, and a few light tanks, including the party van. There's plenty of vehicular options so far.
>>738785490There's like two, you can make them in the garage and you pilot one in the campaign
>>738785398>>738785490>>738785502Damn sounds like everything I wanted adding to the first game.
So what is precursor james?
>>738785405>"done with writing for the day.. well, time to go commit atrocious war crimes in the name of solo nobre"
>>738785204I'm liking it a lot more so far. Brigador didn't quite stick with me as much as I wanted it to, the freelance mode just feels like doing the same thing over and over. I'm having a lot more fun with Killer's garage mode though, since there's risk and reward to add some friction to the game. When you get those vehicles/mechs you're about as unstoppable as you were in Brigador, but that risk is still there to keep it from feeling the same, almost got my fork wrecked once cause I got cocky.>it looks like you don't control mechs any moreThere are two mechs you can make, a corvid one and a Fork (it's named by it's 'official' designation so I didn't catch that it was the same thing). Mongoose and Coffin make a return, but the Mog has a placeholder model for now. Some returning vehicles too.

>>738785964based if true i will now buy your game twice
since the game description in the steam page mentioned "play as a team", will there be a level where you go on a full-on assault with all 4 your bros from the campaign? and maybe even eventually PvE multiplayer?
>>738786570Probably an AI team, pretty sure there have been no talks of co-op and when asked if it could be added onto the first Brigador, the devs said it would be a "huge undertaking", so most likely not happening.
Made a little guide for how to do wilderness easy since people seem to keep struggling with it
>>738787052Nice
>>738787052Sourcing the LAWs is my biggest issue, they rarely spawn at all
>>738759519Even if they're just using 22 lr rounds, the APCs feel like a pretty dumb spike in difficulty, especially given the mission right after it just has you back to fighting cops armed primarily with shit pistols. Feels like lighter enemy vehicles would have been a better option.
>>738787194They can spawn in the big weapon drop crate in aubery's neighborhood
>>738787052Good guide, would be better if you incorporated the elevator to it though, either for getting the van in, out or saving one of the APCs.Also, I think at least one or two of the APCs have a patrol route they follow.To be honest, I find it kinda funny that so many people are having difficulties with this mission, you just gotta get the upgunned loader van and do the roundabout or the first assasination mission a few times until you get a proper turret gun you can mount onto it, there really is no need for any sort of advanced tactics, just go balls to the wall with overwhelming firepower.
>>738785502And the Rounder.
>>738787194That's why I showed the thermobarics first as they're much more common and still get the job done, albeit inefficiently. I'm pretty sure the circled crate has guaranteed LAWs as well as I've never done a run and not seen some in there.>>738787283I think all of them but the one by the explosives crate will patrol or at least have some randomization to their placement, the one at the end by the rig seems to spawn stationary in one of a few places and the other three patrol but for the route I marked only the bottom left one will be relevant and it always patrols in a way that leaves it vulnerable to grenades thrown over that rock.
>>738787052i'll add there's a hole in the east corner in the nº3 crate spot, hidden by the pipewall, that you can use to access it without going through the front door
>>738787415How do you recharge shields btw?
>>738787435>I'm pretty sure the circled crate has guaranteed LAWsits not, at least not for me, it can have grenade launchers but those are meh against them
Jackpot (pier assassination mission btw)
>>738787474you can't, not in mission, on the garage you press X to disable them and enable them again at max charge
>>738787474X to turn them off and back on. It doesn't restore to full until you change areas, so it's only useful in the garage or in multi-level missions.
>every visit to the Merchant Bridge
>>738787052nice, very similar with my strat but i used the wildcat 8mm sniper because grenades are too costly
reddit doesn't like this game so neither do I
>>738776270This is your best friend. Sneak in and kill the guard with the Penpal also the big crate got tons of grenades.
>>738788194Why is holocaust denial considered the worst possible thing for these clowns?There's a fucking laundry list of shit worse, and hitting random people with bike locks is one of them.
The Loyalist legs the Mechant sell are the ones you need for the Mog right? I only got the Coffin.
>>738788385Yes, but the mog kit they sell already comes with the legs. You can also rarely get the legs off of a heavy armored guy with no textures who spawns on the right side of scrapyard
>>738788362stop feeding him
>>738788194That's odd, given how fucking woke the characters they made are. It's rife with browns and women.
>>738788443I see thanks. By the way what's the best mission to loot forklifts quickly? Something like Wilderness where you can steal a Van, a Cop Car and a bike right out the spawn point.
whats the fastest (but still durable) vehicle with decent cargo capacity you can visit the merchant with?
>>738787052My harder but zero risk strategy is to go in completely naked (grab the free medkit from the briefcase I guess) and take the varlet parked at the gas station up to the weapon crate. Then either grab the weapons and try to destroy the APC guarding it or sometimes it'll just leave if it can't see you (you can throw yourself onto the ground with Y) and then try to make your way forward from there with the weapons you have available now. Lower chance of success but you don't need any prep or risk losing anything
>>738788690The only mission I know with a guaranteed forklift is the one with the cop checkpoint on the highway, it's not particularly quick to get it though since it's way at the end of the branch off the road and you have to deal with an APC to get to some of the targets
>>738788861Party Van
>>738788861The upgunned (and maybe loader variant, haven't tried it) van is pretty fast
>>738788690Chopshop has a guaranteed forklift right next to the carpark by the building with the gas lines. Just watch out for the Sawbuck/APC that'll be within the vicinity
>>738788880dromon cave has a guaranteed forklift spawn, next to an elevator no less. though you can't really extract from it instantly
What's the point of non-salvage objectives if you don't get paid for it?
>>738788690Not that quick, but the map where you get the cinderblock rig has 2 guaranteed forklifts, one where the crate with the rig spawns and an uparmored variant around one or two screens worth of space to the north-east/east (depending on how you consider the cardinal directions in an isometric game).Now why would you want forklifts, I have no clue, they are crap and completely overshadowed by the loader van, don't think you need the frames for anything worthwhile either.
>>738789308Mission variety and as an answer to "what am I supposed to do with all this gear?"
>>738789308If it's the "retrieval" missions, they're gonna give you armor rigs you can wear next game
>>738789308Just because they aren't marked as salvage doesn't mean they can't have good loot
>>738787283Part of the issue is that up until that point the only enemies you face are infantry, then all of a sudden BAM fucking APCs which can rip a panel van to shreds and take a good deal of punishment to put down. It's just a fucking retarded jump in difficulty and the only solution is to grind grind grind
>>738789898I don't know how reckless average player was before that mission, but just hearing the engine noise was enough of a clue for me to steer clear of them and go full infiltration.
>>738789898Oh and then the kicker is the mission right after, you're back to fighting cops who are armed with nothing but dinky little pistols and 12 gauge shotguns with a couple dudes having carbines.
>>738788194he apologized for it, if he still had his old views he'd chudmaxx like elon rn
>>738789898>the only solution is to grind grind grindNot really. aas the other anons have already pointed out, stealth works. And the APC is vulnerable to literally any weapons if you hit it from the rear + it moves in a fixed patrol routeIt's not any different from fighting your first boss in a souls game or whatever: Observe their patterns and weak spots
>>738790067They don't exactly give you a lot of options for going infiltration given the fact that it's basically a corridor of fences. I could understand it from an infiltration standpoint if they gave you a bit more freedom of movement but the way the map is laid out basically railroads you right into their paths
>>738761824>generational space colonists show up to the planet they've spent centuries flying towards and find out they're already homeless>>738783325>potentially having to fight paper plate manThis all sounds great.
>>738789898I still don't see what the issue here is, I drove in with my upgunned loader van, saw an APC, backed away and thought that I might need some bigger guns than the 5.56 attached to my van.Visited the roundabout like twice and got a 6 gauge turret that did short work of the APCs.The bigger guns are not that rare, are you people deliberately not looting the large crates in the missions?
what do (You) want the final garage mode to look like?
>>738788872Here's an examplehttps://gofile.io/d/dBDlYgJust a weapon looting run admittedly, but you could pick up the suit without too much issue if you really wanted to
>>738787052Followed this route and I used a grenade launcher, worked pretty well, binoculars are very useful in this mission
>>738790696an actual garage like the merchant
>>738790696More content, more upgrades, more things to grind for, I like the sandbox nature of it but it'd be nice if there was a story with objectives to accomplish, I think the classic structure of "complete story related missions to unlock more shit" would work great and the demo kinda does it already, just needs more meat
>>738790873I don't think the range difference between the binoculars and a bog rifle or penpal is that big enough to warrant the slot but yeah, having them or some kind of scoped weapon feels almost mandatory even if it's just a .357 pocket sniper.
>>738790696>Bigger mapsHaving some of the locations interconnect with each other rather than just returning to garage after visiting each one. Connection would be roads, highways, tunnels, rails that you could enter, basically like what happens when you travel to the merchant highway.>Factions adapt to your hitsReinforces the area with more units if you hit the same place multiple times or fail it. Though this may be tricky to implement as some areas have randomized factions.>Weapon customizationI doubt we'll get this but it would be nice to have. I'd love to have a bonesaw with a bigger mag size that's not vehicle mounted.And of course, just more content in general. I'd really like to be able to add further upgrades to the Carmine and Mog.
>>738790185I used the cars in the starting area to ram through the first gate, saw the APC coming and hid behind the rocks.
>>738754478This looks a lot more sandboxy than the original. Is it gonna have character creation or am I gonna be stuck with predefined playables again?
>>738792936Campaign missions have predefined characters, I don't think we know how garage mode is gonna work in the final version, right now you just have one face that everyone uses
>>738780836It doesn't matter what planet youre standing on, 8mm FMJ will still be 8mm FMJ.
>>738789898The APCs are only fielding 22lrIts a varmint cartridge. Yeah theyre auto but just step back and watch the bullets roll past you.
>>738795512They fire two extremely rapid firing guns at a time, they tend to shred through everything but other apcs pretty quick
>>738780642I always take a black hand and either lockdown for dealing with frontal engagements or tremblor to tunnel through buildings and get cheapshots off on unshielded enemies
>>738777447>Party Van was a meme pick for the Wayne's World OST on the horn>becomes the GOAT loot machine and APC killer when you main the Mae Dois and a Bren/Bonesaw
For me, it’s the swordfish.I like putting active camo and shotguns on it so I can be the agrav equivalent of a shark.
Anyone here already got the big mechs? Is grinding the money to buy the loyalist upper chassis really worth it compared to just crafting the DIY corvid one? I mean weapon wise both of them seems to get the same single large mountI don't really care about shielding since i play long range hit and run anyway. How about the cargo capacity? Do they differ that much?
>>738780836>hardlight shelds still get raped by DPS because their job is to stop all forms of damage regardless of the sourceIf anything stacking six Bonesaws would make Swiss cheese of any Spacer fucking shit because they rely too much on it. Something which a weaponized garbage truck is more than capable of fielding,
>>738777447>equip double bonesaws to shred armoured APCs four times its sizetbf you can do this too in brigador. it only feels powerful because we haven't fought another suits/mechs yet
>>738781701No PJNo buySimple as'
I wanna face down a zed prime on foot
If you're going through the wilderness for loot after you've already got the rig, a cost effective way to deal with apcs is the grenade launcher. If it hits them in the rear it does a fair amount of damage
Get rotated idiot
>>738797724Lole
I'm getting more mileage out of this demo than I do most full games
took me too long to realize this is not an mp5sd, but a bubbamaxxed m3 greasegun
>>738799058I've put more hours into this demo than I did the first game
>>738777447>>738796291>Coffin was a meme vehicle made pilotable for the Empty Fuck in Brigador>in Brigador Killers the Coffin is a tiny speed demon packing huge firepower with shit like double Buzzsaws, Minimi and Bully.>its a rape machine able to zoom into tiny spaces and rape APC in the ass before they even turn the headlights on>the moment you zoom in everybody hits the ground in pure fearBKillers biggest strengh is how well scale works: something as shitty as Corvid junkers are very scary because nobody is packing mechs and tanks, the whole "this shit only works to scare the locals" desc in Brigador really works in Killers.
>>738787415I crafted a small container and dumped some items in before logging off and when I loaded back into the game the containers weren't there :(
>>738800716The crafting spot is not a garage spot, you need to put those crates into a vehicle and then park that vehicle on one of the numbered garage squares. Personally I have a loader panel van and a sprat van for crates, the sprat can hold like 8 smalls.
>>738787283Chop Shop is also super easy to do and has high end gear in the boxes. There are two map variants: cop and corvid. If cop, just run right up the middle to the lot, stuff the gear in the 2 to 3 crates that spawn in that lot in the biggest car you can, then get in and haul ass out, minding the APC that might teleport in at spawn. If corvid, just shoot the 3 guys at the first barricade, then up the middle into the lot and loot at your leisure, being careful of the north end of the lot as it has a cinderblock roaming near there.
>>738800872I used a vehicle to place them on the floor outside of any crafting spots
>>738800515This is one of it's big strengths yeah. Even the varlet from the first game would be formidable here (I know there's varlets in killers too but I don't think they can pack as much ordinance as the first game, and don't have a shield generator)
>>738754478I haven't played Brigador in a long time. So you can get in and out of vehicles in this?
>>738801054Yeah. You're also dealing with much more low level battles (for now). Garage mode is the meat of the demo, it's an extraction mode.
>first game: some faggy Che Guevara type trying to upheave the entire system>second game: hunt down the faggy Che Guevara hypocrites now living in the lap of luxury while everyone hurtsFuck I love this trope so much
>>738801195You're absolutely not a che guevara type in the first game. That's arguably great leader and his regime, you're a corpo merc going in to destabilize the region even further to enable a hostile takeover
>>738801195It's quite literally the opposite, you're a mercenary contracted by a capitalist superpower tasked with ending a regime for daring to go independent in the first game, and Che Guevara's most loyal terrorist in the second
is there a way to interact with my backpacks inventory without taking it off?
>>738802563You can drag items onto it to store them, but you can't open it's inventory and manage it that way. It's one of my main gripes with the inventory system
>>738802839shieet... what about when im in the garage and i want to unload my vehicle, whats the fastest way to do that?
>>738803054If you park it in the unloading zone you can access its inventory and the inventory of everything it's carrying. Shift+click quick moves between containers.

>>738806321Sometime after the draft notice goes out.
>>738806321>next stop: Early Access PurgatoryHow many decades do you have time?
>>738806581The first brigador left early access after a year. Although admittedly this one seems less finished
>>738801195You got shit reversed bro.Brigador 1 was you being paid by space-corpos to bring down Space-Cuba on the night that Space-Castro dies.What part of the comical nickle & diming on the Brigador contract made you think you were playing as a commie? You’re in this shit entirely for the money and a chance to escape your shithole of a city-state.
If you buy a mongoose kit from the merchant it comes in a crate that looks like a regular large crate, but has a 5000 unit capacity instead of a 500 unit one. Just as information.
>>738807707It's not just that crate. Most crates are weight a lot more than the 500 a regular large can carry so they give you a 5000. Mount it on a loader van along with a Mongoose for a fun time.
>>738804124Yeah right I got it mix up, its not the Bully but acts the same, its not the Kalastaja either I forgot the name I think its the Zwei, still is pretty much a mini Bully.
>>738807707also if you buy the light weapons kit you can sell the ammo and get infinite money lol

>>738806147>Corvid Treehouse blasting all hornsIt's actually kind of starting to make sense now. I never got the idea of Tower Tanks as the ultra-heavy, instead of ultra-wide weapon platforms, but the idea of a huge ridiculous tower of metal rolling towards you while firing artillery is actually a huge morale killer.I can't wait until we can make a Touro. Steady Eddy, my body is ready.
>>738809286>Final Boss is the Mother LoveMake it happen Gauss
>>738809286That's explicitly mentioned in it's description
>>738809351It would make more sense for it to be the killer's final weapon, thematically
>>738809286One thing to consider is the view distances involved. At best you can currently use the spacer sniper rig to plink targets. But even if you can see it coming on foot you won't be able to outrun something like a Harvester mortar strike or getting doubletapped by a pair of railguns. People don't realize that you can actually play as infantry right now in the first game to get a feel for how it would play out. You still move like a manlet mech and your weapons are mostly tied between the Bonesaws and donkey tank rifles. You get something like 10x the bonus on payments compared to using the varlets but most things will oneshot you regardless of caliber.
>>738808915If you're wondering about the arlo, you can't get it normally you need to use the F1 menu.

Anyone else got a problem where the game says you don't have the parts to repair a vehicle but then shows that you do?
>>738811576Scrap the vehicle and rebuild it. Its a know bug, dont worry you dont lost the parts.
I do wish there was some other big armor enemies in the demo besides the apcs, just one fork or mog squad would've been fun to fight

>>738812442>GRAVESEND PINBALL>Every horrible story you ever heard about Gravesend is true, near as I can tell. Slave Rock. If human history is a catalogue of successive refinements on sadism and imprisonment, Gravesend is the logical endpoint. Perfect suffering with no exit but the obvious. No escape from the wet, recycled air of that miserable planetoid. >Despite the legend, the original Pinball was pretty small. Whoever built it used only basic mule/tractor type agrav engines. Still, it was genius. It must have taken that poor bastard months, years maybe. Four agravs come off the line but only three come back, no one the wiser. Frame up all the engines as close to a sphere as you can manage; cage for the “pilot” in the middle, cover the outside in pot metal, get the weight up. >That first Pinball likely couldn’t carry more than say three minutes fuel, which was fine. After thirty seconds the pilot’s entrails were pasting the tunnel walls, spraying from the gaps in the welds on the spinning death machine. Centrifugal force and screaming and blood. >After a minute the casualties and structural damage to Gravesend Central Processing were catastrophic. In two minutes and seven seconds, the Pinball wrenched itself and its dead creator into the open void of space. He was finally free, if only for a little while.>-MBtl;dr - turbo killdozer

Oh we're cooking with gamma rays nowjust gotta find ammo

>>738815605I cant find missiles for the Squacker
>>738816045Pretty sure the black market sells them, NOSPOL ammo depot is also a pretty safe bet for them but they probably come in small quantities.
>>738814912Where did you get that writeup?
>>738814912kino, fly free king
>>738754478most weapons in this game are such hot dogshit
It reminds me of Satellite Reign and Syndicate. I like it.
>>738815968I've found them like three times, twice being just a single one of them and once a stack of like 40.
>>738816045They're pretty uncommon, insanely heavy, and the gun is a piece of shit anyway as it takes like four or five direct hits to the back of an APC to disable it.
>>738815968you can find them in the pit near the last levels before the boss, the mission before it, the ammo dump mission or buying it from the merchant
>>738816350you need to search something besides corvid corpses on level 2, a lot of the weapons in the game are memes
Is there a faster way to dump stuff into my inventory?
>>738816524>you need to search somethingi beat the demo. it wasn't hard>a lot of the weapons in the game are memesa weapon like the bully made that pretty clear, but there's only four weapons worth using
>>738815968They're out there, I've got like 300 of them. Unfortunately Black Hand kind of sucks, it can't even reliably one-shot infantry. Might as well stick with the Kalastaja.>>738816285It was in one of the earlier game builds.
>>738816516You can't buy them from the merchant and everything else is just down to RNG, which apparently hasn't been very favorable for me.
This was pretty cool, wishlisted.
>>738816649Shift click
>>738782354Damn the man himself posted and nobody noticed lol
>>738816685Motherfucker looks like a Cruelty Squad HUD element.
Vehicle aiming takes some getting used too it's weird especially since locking on with a rifle on foot means you can one-two tap most unarmored enemies
Love this little nigga like you wouldn't believe. Easy to build, fast as fuck, and you don't even need to shoot enemies. Just fire a bonesaw or porco in their general direction so they lie down, then roll right over them.
>>738818140why not build the party van instead, it's a direct upgrade and probably going to be the meta early game vehicle
>>738817975each vehicle changes the property of the weapon thats mounted. i dont know if i like that or hate it.99% of my gameplay was done using the upped loader van though
>>738818412only if it's given the loader tag or if the UI wasn't such a mess for mass item looting. no one is going to drag each individual item one by one switching between two panels on foot and boxes take way too long to destroy early game without resorting to explosives/higher tier ammo
>>738818412there are places where the big ass van profile makes things difficult, like sinkhole.I need to find some treads, I want to build something tanky.>keep finding lobos in cinderblock mode>can't carry their legs in a small containerDAMNIT
>>738818412A V-V-V-V-VOTE FOR GREAT LEADER IS A V-V-V-V-VOTE FOR FREEDANIEL--DANIEL D-D-D-DANIEL
the civvies in the suits carry more pocket money than soldiers.
>>738808584Be careful with that shit. I hit a trashcan next to my mog and got myself popped.
>>738819548armoured forklifts can carry a single large crate are actually really fast and mobile while shift boostingyou could also get a large crate that holds 5000, but the devs explicitly stated that it's only placeholder buy any large part from the merchant
so I should play the first one I am guessing. How hard are the controls to get to used to? I never quite enjoyed Smash TV controls.
>>738820025The only thing I had to get used to really was you have to "ready weapon" before you can fire weapon. If you try to fire weapon without readying, nothing happens. So for KBM you hold down RMB first, and this shows your aiming reticle, at which point you can plug away. Til you run out of ammo. Some ammo types are easier to get than others.
Who's SG?
>>738820025It's basically top down tank controls
>>738819816Yeah it's one option to farm it if you don't wanna do vandenberg
Wish there was a real endgame map since they're all too easy for the big vehicles.
>>738820025Set the controls to relative instead of screen absolute. You get used to them after a while.
>>738758409Vanderburg is easy moneyNOSPOL depot and sell everything sellable to merchant is the fastest way but a little harderSinkhole is also good money.
>>738820545There needs to be more enemy variety before any of that, but that's a tall ask considering this is just a demo.
The cinderblock rig has such a fun movement style, but it's so shit. Only one weapon slot, standard item space and fuck all ammo space, loads of weapon storage space but who the hell is gonna constantly swap weapons in and out, especially since you can barely carry any ammo for them? It's got only slightly more health than the carmine while having zero options to heal it, and you also can't use any vehicles.Carmine is just by far the best rig for 99% of situations, the one and only downside is that it can't use a mongoose.Dromon is even shittier than cinderblock, 100 shields which you can't replenish mid mission vs carmine having 100 health that you can replenish with a single medpack (that you can carry loads of).
>>738820720Wait you can sell shit to the merchant? Fucking how?
Man I thought 10K was a big ask for the Light Weapons box no those aren't small arms those are vehicle weapons.Galinha my beloved I hope it's still good the Mantis was a murder machine in the first game.
>>738820891Click the sell button, dummy.You can only sell the items that he sells. Park a vehicle containing them on the pad, click the item in his list and the sell button next to they buy button should be available. Simple and complex parts are the best moneymakers since they're lightweight and you find loads more of them than you could ever use.
How the FUCK do I use sniper rifles? I aim and click and nothing happens. What the fuck do I have to do? I have a penpal and want to kill an apc in wilderness.
>>738821462They often require you to hold down the button before they fire.
>>738821462You have to hold it for a second.
>>738821462If you hear your guy take a deep breath when you click then you need to hold it until it actually shoots. That goes for the bog rifle, the penpal, the .357 revolver with a scope and there's a 20mm thing whose name I forget that all work that way.Penpal also kinda sucks for APCs, it does okay damage if you hit them in the back but the fire rate is just way too slow to rely on it. Get yourself some kind of rockets or grenades.
>>738820852But pressing Z and zooming around on all fours is badass
>>738820358I believe it's Segno Grow. He was a character from the BK audiobook, offwolrd corvid who turned coat to the loyalists after seeing brigadors whack his corvid friends.
>insurgents are confused as shit about the roller ball thing tearing up Mar Nosso so it's probably not from the Solo Nobre resistance>since it's rampaging through Mar Nosso it's probably not from the SNC eitherI'm wondering if there's going to be some twist where it's the same tech as the Mother's Love and it's basically the product of either some mysterious Space Illuminati faction or ayys.
>>738821658>>738821525>>738821510Duh, now I feel retarded. Do they tell you that in that assassination mission in the tutorial? If so, I already forgot that again.
>>738822641I don't remember if they explicitly tell you but the sniper rifle in that mission requires you to hold the button down like the others
>>738768475i need to have sex with this robot
>>738820358How you check vehicle descriptions? Hover over and press F?
Damn i hate the jump of difficulty on wilderness. I got so fucking close with an upgunned van, smg and 50cal on foot some laser gun mount for melting apcs, and got so fucking close but then my van caught fire just before getting the fucking suit, and its felt like shit since.I might just need to farm LAW rockets, because anything else feels like ass for apcs
>>738780570Great leaderis dead
>>738822894Yeah. Check the loyalist armor in the last campaign mission it's all written by faber mercs describing how to kill them
>>738807686god this demo made me love the mog, wish it already had it's proper model
>mfw when i finally finish the F Series (F1-F4)
>>738787052how are people struggling that much with Wilderness? I just ambushed the APCs with LAWs and thermobaric grenades from Shoreline.
>>738822959Two points for apcs:1. hit them in the ass2. most of them move on a specific path, even if you shoot at them they'll still keep going down that path
>raid the ammo storage>take van loaded with ammo to merchant>sell all of it>exit interface to collect my bounty>no credits anywhere>check the van, check the crate, check my inventory, check the ground>no credits
It's funny, the gameplay now reminds me more of Synthetik and the demo is more enjoyable than Synthetik 2 so that's a plus. I enjoy this on its own merits. It was just fucking around with some stuff like setting up electric car bowling because they take off like bombchus when you damage them enough. My complaint is that its very much not Brigador anymore is it. I liked it because the scaling sense of bullshit mechs in play in various arcade style missions. The existence of meta progression (not unlocks, keeping upgrades and managing a base and equipment and ammo and such) is very much not what I was hoping for from the concept. Again I don't hate it, I just find myself a little indifferent to it as a sequel. Still. I'll probably get it. I like supporting games that have hard work put into them and honestly I like the soundtrack by makeup and vanity kit
>>738823557>LAWs and thermobaric grenades from Shoreline.How often do I have to do Shoreline to get LAWs and thermobaric grenades?
>>738823557Obviously they aren't finding LAWs or thermobarics, I think I only saw them on shoreline once and every other run the map just had low tier guns or ammo.
>>738823708it's relatively random, I think I did it like two/three times and already had enough
>>738823831YOU LIE!
>>738823637If you really need money without just cheating it in you can buy the light weapon crate to get infinite money.https://litter.catbox.moe/y6a1a75gags76g19.mp4
>>738823927Lol that's a fun exploit.
>>738823658I like it. It's got lots of brigador DNA while still doing it's own fresh thing (helps that I like the fresh thing it's doing)
>>738823708A decent number, you'll probably have better luck just checking sinkhole for them since it's a smaller map and there are more crate spawns.
>want to make a few bandages>miss the number prompt>make maximum amount of bandages with about 2.5k credits>have 10 credits leftI mean, I won't ever have to think about bandages anymore but DAMN
now that the demo actually exist, its time we addressed the main issue.who's your favorite brigador and faction?
>>738824737Oscar and the cyclolucidites. But if you don't wanna count them, spacers.Also shout out to Clotilde "Julia Child" Aalto>Aalto has managed to shock even our proudly decadent society with her latest exploits, such as turning gestation vats into a sous-vide of her still developing progeny - a most delectable Spacer balut.
Where do you get 84mm shells? Found a Carlos and a Donkey with nothing to shoot. 8mm mauser is a bitch too.
>>738825382You sometimes get them from the ammo depot
>>738762023Did you know that "Kalastaja" means FINLAND MENDIONEDDD
>>738824737My favorite Brigador.. I don't remember many of the pilots from the first game honestly. I liked the moral loyalist looking ones because they wear that tank cap / pilot cap thing that looks cool. As for faction, also probably the loyalist faction. I like that their shit doesn't seem super futuristic but not as rag tag makeshift as the corvid shit. I DO however like some corvid designs. The Broken Heart is such an insane piece of machinery. I love it.
>>738825757I like that canonically the stupider loyalist designs are due to politics and clashing egos among the brass, so they force something retarded through and then the engineers somehow make it work
writing in this game really insists upon itself
>>738826217Its strange how that even happens in real life many times. One such loyalist case in brigador. The Dorothy lmao. Love that suit though.
>>738824737>>738826217Rem, I like his backstory, kinda realistic on how stupid the Brass act in the military an let a vet blew a fuse.For Factions I like the Corvids the most, I love junker tech but at the same time Im in love with Loyalist Maschinen Krieger knockoffs designs.
In case this thread dies by the time I wake up I wanted to let you know that it's been a pleasure mulching mar nosso fucking shits with you gentlemen.
>>738826515The monarch is my favorite example
>>738790185you can literally just kick down the fence on foot
>>738805421my nigger, even with my chungus 60L hiking backpack i dont have to fully take it off to access stuff. the backpack in the game is only 50L
How do you think ultra mechs will be implemented in brigador killers?
>>738827757Highly expensive, impractical, and subtle as a heart attack. I expect larger mechs to be something you get to capture. As the SNC captured a lot of NEP equipment after the long night. Would not surprise me if you get to "liberate" a toro and stomp entire city blocks into dust. From what I've heard, there is supposed to be a "heat" system like gta or just cause, where the more people you kill. The stronger the response to you gets. Would be something like cops > swat teams > Faber mercs > Spacer killteams. "the violence will escalate" I believe was Hugh's exact words.
>>738818412can the party van carry the big container?
>>738824737I have affection for all of them, Corvid aesthetic is growing on me since I started rolling in the Cinderblock, Volta has been fascinating since I read Pilgrim, but my first love, my true love, is the Spacer faction. Lunatic space nazis taking the zeon creed to its logical extreme: Ew, you've experienced GRAVITY? Disgusting, get away from me you terrestrial filth!Juke, Lockdown, Blackhand, AKP, I'm going to melt your bones through the walls before you know there's a fight happening.But really I want Man From Volta in a Carmine with a Voltan bog rifle.>The Vocc centurian reports that the Voltans will squat up to their shoulders in the mud, sometimes for hours at a time, and attack anyone who crosses their path>"They are the most ignorant people I have ever conquered"
>>738822546it's just some bored spacer pilot, they put faces in their zed primes too all the time
>>738827757Unstoppable juggernaut you have to avoid as it stomps up and down the main promenade.Maybe if you're crazy and lucky, you can take it down and haul its parts back to base. But this is a machine that walks through high-rises.
>>738824737i relate to that loyalist pilot (whose name i forgot) who got fast tracked into pilothood due to some brass favoritism and ended up accepting the brigador contract because she wanna fight them, to prove that she's NOT a nepobaby and actually got the skills to pilot
>>738826731It's like the design bureau got high as fuck and were like "dude... you know how like... they give tanks low profiles so they're harder to hit? What if we like... did that... but sideways bro..."
>>738754478Is this the closest thing ill get to Zone of the Enders 1 but, we get to play the side that attacks the colony? anywayIt seems pretty fun.
>>738826596Same to you my brigga
>>738826596it's nice to have some good old fashioned video fuckin' games on this board.
How many levels to the sinkhole? Feeling confident with a kalastaja and a cut .50 on the mongoose
>>738831703About 5 or 6, it's not very deep.
This shit is super funI just hope that it's easier to get money later
>>738828230I kind of want Spacers to get a comeuppance They're glazed so damn heavily in the lore that I really wonder what keeps them from running everything instead of just being weird space nomads
>finally got an APC but it was in shit shape>grind Wilderness for APC parts to fix it up>uparmorered it>fuck yeah it's fun>doing a salvage mission>hop out of APC to loot a box>get pretty much instakilled by a dude in power armor who sprints up and unloads some cannon rounds or something on me>APC's gone, all that grinding lost in a split secondDone with this shit, that pretty much killed it for me. It kind of helped me put my finger on why this sucks so much cock compared to the original Brigador. The core gameplay of the original Brigador encouraged you to experiment and play around with different builds. If you died, you missed out on your payout and it meant starting the mission set from scratch. Wasn't necessarily the end of the world. Since Killers uses a sort of extraction shooter formula where if you die in a mission, you lose everything you brought in with you, dying is a massive middle finger, especially given how laughably inaccurate the mission difficulties are (case in point, the city level right after the Wilderness is labeled medium difficulty but it's mostly populated by cops armed with the dinky 45 pistol which does tickle damage and can't hit worth shit as well as the dinky 12 gauge pump shotgun. Same goes for the Promenade where it's listed as hard but again, almost nothing but cops with dinky pistols and 12 gauge pump shotguns). Depending on what you lost it could mean tons and tons of grinding to recuperate it. If they're deadset on sticking to the extraction format, the least they could do is take a page from other extraction games and give you some way of mitigating your losses like the insurance system you see in a lot of them.
>hundreds of years in the future where lazers and casual space travels is a thing>no missiles, not even the simple ones like the humble javelinwhats the lore explanation of this?
>>738832445Huh? There's LAWs
>>738832445Too short range
>>738832445Spacer drones are technically missiles
>>738832445All factions have some sort of guided suicide target
>>738832493sorry i meant guided missiles>>738832552not really, those drones are not something you wield or launch youself. also you'd think spacers of all people would have tons and tons of smart, fire and forget stuffs capable of wiping entire armies with one button press
>>738824737>Favorite BrigadorDeni Haapala>Favorite FactionCorvids
>>738832717>>738832445Boring answer:The engagement ranges and urban combat makes guided missiles kind of pointless when compared to artillery or rockets Cool answer: like in all mecha fiction, up l close dog fights are much more cool than just chucking a precision munition over the horizon with minimal collateral
>>738832938>The engagement ranges and urban combat makes guided missiles kind of pointless when compared to artillery or rocketsmar nosso is a big enough city with plenty of open spaces. i would appreciate having a javelin in posadochny for example
How much is there to the garage mode? I played through the campaigns and there wasn't much there beyond a really jank tutorial.
>>738833441Last thread someone said ~10h
>>738833482Cool, I'll give it a try even though how WIP everything is is sort of turning me off. I really liked everything about Brigador's presentation. Question though, why are there raincoats running around on Mar Nosso? Isn't this supposed to be a different corporate planet that the Brigadors are now living in luxury on?>>738832717It's been a while since I was deep into Brigador's lore but don't Spacers have a really autistic mindset when it comes to combat in general? They're like depraved versions of chivalric knights of nobility, but instead of being goodhearted they just love violence. Fire and forget probably isn't personal enough for them.
>>738832938>up close dog fights are much more cool than just chucking a precision munition over the horizon with minimal collateralShit actually makes sense from a lore standpoint as to why you don't see Spacers using guided missiles. Locking onto a target and launching a fire and forget missile just doesn't have the same level of sadism and personal touch that liquifying someone's insides at point blank range with a black hand or watching a crowd of people shit their pants as they look up to see a harvester mortar hang in the air for a few seconds before sending down enough ordinance to level a city block and vaporize everyone in it
>>738783301They're working on getting a better euro distributor but no idea when that will happen . If you think those minis are expensive definitely don't look at how much 40k costs
>>738833649>Spacers have a really autistic mindset when it comes to combat in general?It's like a mixture of autistic and psychotic mindsets. There's one Spacer who literally makes it a point to sabotage her own equipment and kill her wingmen (or whatever you'd call a mech teammate) to give herself a challenge. Then you've got the auditor who insists attacking military targets is primitive and inefficient so he exclusively goes after poorly defended sectors to inflict as many civilian casualties as possible with no resistance.

I did it boys, full sinkhole run with two merchant crates in a loader van, got out with 9000 weight of good shit
>>738833441I've put more time into the garage demo than I have most other games I've played lately.
>>738833649They're refugees
Why are there there Corvids here? I thought Mar Nosso is supposed to be a city on a different planet, and the whole premise is that practically nobody survived the retaking of Solo Nobre aside from the handful of people that took the Brigador contracts.
>>738835593they run the garbage/salvage contracts all over
>>738754478Why the fuck does every vehicle I've tried to use have absolutely shit accuracy? APC, upgunned squad car, whatever. Everything has the accuracy of the shitty 9mm machine pistol no matter what the gun is. Can't hit shit more than 5 feet in front of the vehicle.
>>738757004You didn't actually complete is unless you played Precursor James

>>738835742I'm able to snipe guys out of vehicles easy are you just holding some shit down
>>738835938he's just some retard who's been trying to get attention in these threads the whole time
>>738835742The devs apparently nerfed vehicle accuracy to keep APCs from instantly shredding you with perfect accuracy, but currently it applies to all vehicles, rather than just vehicles controlled by enemy AI. I think they're planning on upping vehicle turret accuracy for players, because right now it's pretty annoying having only a fraction of your shots hitting if you use automatic guns.
>>738768475giwtwm
>>738835742killdozer forklift, equip sniper rifle in one of the weapon slots. thank me later
>>738835742>>738836162The accuracy nerf doesn't seem to hurt every weapon, some are still extremely accurate when mounted. Bonesaws are your friend.

>>738836162It also seems like the aim assist has a habit of being off a little bit, especially if you're trying to hit a dude who's prone.
>>738760231>>738759813>738759813You guys never saw the original banners cuz you didn't play the game until way later. I have the o.g. one that was just a Touro.
>>738757004If you didn't do it with James in the varlet you didn't do it for real.
>>738781778What's really funny is this shit felt perfect in earlier builds then after some update it just feels like shit and all fucked up and people just have to live with the new worse version where shit doesn't even line up.It's so much shittier. Gg.
>>738788645You should read their bios. They are not good people lmao. One of the spacer women cooked her own embryos for her special party.

>>738837538https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Rampages
I hope they figure out a way to drastically improve the UI, because not only is this ugly placeholder shit but by the time I figured out how to actually put stuff in the inventory of the van I was planning to take back to base I got shot in the back of the head by a biker.
Brigador needs multiplayer badly. 1v1 and team deathmatch would be fun as fuck.
