i'm more accurate than you
>ragdolls
Maxigun is actually great.
You can throw stratagem balls into vox vents lmao.It wont blow it up but its funny.
>spear is terrible vs voxI knew it wouldn't be great before trying but man it's not even minutely useful
>>557142435I'll logging back in just to block (You)
>Try to join my friends lobby (who are all on PC like me)>Connection Failed>Try again>Fails, game thinks I'm on a different platform and tells me to enable crossplay>Do that>Not only can I join their lobby, but the 'Find ongoing missions' button actually detects lobbies now, where it would previously do nothingWhat swiggery is this.
>>557142485truly one of the weapons of all time. it can't even utilize it's higher damage most of the time because it targets the dumbest parts. what a failure of a weapon.
Does the EMS sentry work on the Vox Engine?
>the sheer amount of smoke everywhere with the team constantly calling in EATs/commandos/levellers This is hilarious
>>557142449>mfw i see consequences for getting blown up or shot with a giant cannonidk i get that it's one of those things that irrationally pisses people off like stuns or one shots but fucking deal with it, honestly
are there good ways to destroy the bottom vent of the vox engine without going under it?
>>557142485With all these super-heavies being added to the game, I feel that a moderate buff to Spear damage would finally give it a niche. Right now it's already the "Kill any regular heavy in the game no questions asked" support weapon, but it would be nice if it's also the "I want to hunt super-heavies and this will be my weapon" support weapon.
>>557142562One of your friends has crossplay so you also need to turn it on to join.Anons who host lobbies with crossplay on should get bullied.
Use the tendie
>>557142675Not really. They're completely explosive-immune so you have to deal direct damage, which means guns and a direct line of sight, which means walk underneath. I guess shrapnel would also work.
>>557142590Haven’t tried it but cyborgs seem very agro when it comes to turrets, probably because they spot things from further away. Wonder if calling one outside of the walls could work?
>Play D7s because fuck dealing with 10+ Vox Engines>Been fine so far>Suddenly D7 decides it's gonna do the same thing I've been avoiding and drops a gorillion Vox Engines on me
i've just noticed on cyberstan that there's absolutely no POIs with lootno super credits, no medals, not even req slipswhat did the swedes mean by this?
>>557142554go for it karen
>>557142841The spawn rates are fucked up because they overtuned it for vox engines. Play on Diff 6 and the heaviest thing you will get is just factory striders and the spawn rate on here is actually reasonable.
>>557142860they meant FUCK YOU
>throw thermite>it dont stickive been lied to
>>557143076The stick doesn't stick.
>>557143076the thermite handle isn't sticky and will bounce off the enemyand since you have zero control over the throw this makes thermite rng for no reasonfuck you have some quality swedish game design
Gave this a try just now, it's decently good since it makes you far more mobile, you can zip between buildings to lose pursuers and traverse towards objectives a lot faster. Primarily I equipped it so that I could close the distance on Vox Engines a bit more reliably, it's decent enough for that as well. When solo-ing for objectives separate from your team, you can also aggro a patrol until they send up a flare, and then put a shitload of distance away from the drop zone to buy your team openings.
>air base control tower bugged>destroy it with a portable hellbomb>it doesnt countEpic
>>557143308>buggedYou idiot, you have to interact with the SSSD hatch to get it to allow you to drop the stratagem now.
>>557143353Retard. The SSSD hatch can get glitched and not give you the option to drop a SSSD from orbit. The mission is broken
>>557143242It's pretty good, but most habitual warppack users are the most worthless shitters out there.
I dislike how the vox tracks don't protect you from enemies, they just walk through them with no issues, and they don't seem to get mulched by them like we doAlso they apparently can go through the helm's deep opening despite being twice as tall as it
>cyberstan>have to use the same exact loadout every time because everything is mostly useless>sentries are obscured by cyborg smoke and instantly destroyed by vox engine behind walls>eagle strikes stopped by anti aircraft>orbitals are one and done>90% of the support weapons rendered useless>need supply pack to chug stims due to constant chip damage >ultimatum is mandatory due to it being so versatile >constantly ragdolled around by literally everything>zero super credits on the mapUnless you are a glutton for punishment what is the point of playing this?
>>557143565The sewer openings are very buggy in general
>>557143641Lower the difficulty if you cant handle it.
>>557143641>90% of the support weapons rendered useless>need supply pack to chug stims due to constant chip damage>ultimatum is mandatory due to it being so versatileYou're just bad at the game and seriously should lower the difficulity.
>>557142435>64 kills>6 deathsSo... this is the power of an Xbot...
>>557143641That's just bots in general after war striders dropped.Okay maybe not the sentry part, but others.
>>557143641did you try lowering the difficulty?
>>557143641Lower to D7 so you can have fun with other weapons/equipment. D10 is only fun for two hours or so and then it becomes the same shit over and over.>>557143684>>557143691D10 Cyberstan legit becomes boring fast when Vox engines clog up the enemy budget and you have to maneuver, run around and clear them to get to objectives re-doing the same rat race over and over.
>>557143794Borgs seem to spawn way less warstriders and don't spawn any dogs.If anything they have the most weapons being viable.

Armour recommendations for cyberstan?
>>557144229Fortified Commando
>>557144229siege-ready unflinching
>>557144229any medium armor with fortified
>>557143641For Super Earth, what kind of dissident talk is this? Reported.
>>557144013D10 is supposed to be a stress test for your the most meta loadout for the particular mission.It's like bitching about the fact that you need to take a fire weapon against a fire weak, high level monster in monster hunter, thus rendering useless or less effective 99% of the other elements.Even then, i never ever took the ultimatum for example
>>557144229unflinchingfortified
>>557144229I mostly run Ballistic Padding and Fortified
>>557143816
>>557144229Reduced signatureLet the team take the heat while you speed run all of the fabricators and side objectives.
I want to like the HMG. It's fun to use a big fuckoff MG, but despite having heavy pen it's just so bad against heavies, ennen to weakspots like tank vents, due to its pitiful durable damage. AC is decent but I've used it too much.
>>557144229Medic medium armour
>>557144408It’s the recoil, it actually takes heavies down decently fast when you hit the weak spots it can pen but it kicks so hard you aren’t hitting them unless you fire it like a dmr. Which means the time to kill becomes terrible.
>quickplay on cyberstan>host is level 68 and has cluster strike + napalm barrageI feel like the only natural thing to do was to call him a bugnigger, kill him and then leave and block him
>>557144568true heroes took the perma bans anon
>>557144408Personally I never had an issue taking out heavies like the hulksHMG has always been my go to for bots but with Cyberstan in D10 with its really large amounts of oppenents and needing to be on the move constantly I switched it for the GL
>>557144408Durability damage is a cancer in this game
>>557144597
>>557144340Its the lack of choice that is boring. So I don't bring the ultimatum. Then I am forced to run away since I can't fight a vox head on. We need more sidearms that are ultimatum tier.
>>557144408It has heavy pen, but it's not a tank killer and you'll need something else in your loadout to do that job. It drops anything hulk level or below no problem, and is just as efficient on one enemy as it is on a whole drop.>>557144489First thing I do on dropping it in is lower the RPM to minimum. It still kicks but it's more controllable and you really don't need a higher firing rate at all.
I bring gas, not because it's good, but because I want the borgs to feel pain on the inside.
>>557144669the machete can get you more kills than an ultimatum if you're good at video games and use a controller
>>557144557I actually wanted to try cluster bombs on Stan but I forgot and eagles don't work anyway. But if they did, I think it would be rather good.
>>557144557karen
>>557144229Democracy Protects if you're a real (gambling) man.
>>557144669And how exactly does ultimatum (3000 damage) helps you deal with vox engine (11000 hp)?
Predictions for the reveal at Transcendence>Helldiver cyborgs (can call stratagems)>Turbo-Vox Giga Boss>Massive human bio-containers>Bot Deathstar BTFOs the DSSand last but not leastWe start fighting humans, not cyborgs, not human looking robots, humans, who have hints at being former helldivers. They can call bot stratagems, callouts, and even stim.
>>557144996nothing
>>557144996Cyber Brasch boss
My current fun loadout for difficulty 7 is thus.fortified heavy armorGrenade Launcher or HammerDefenderLoyalistBallistic or Directional ShieldMech or red strategem of your choiceShield GeneratorYou can basically tie up massive amounts of automaton and cyborg forces. Use your mech to soften up the map a bit for you and clear a space to fall back to if needs be. The emancipator should last just long enough to get a couple outposts down. Your biggest bottleneck will be just out and out running out of resources.
>>557144996the covenant from halo appears
>>557144710>First thing I do on dropping it in is lower the RPM to minimum. It still kicks but it's more controllableless controllable. 450 RPM is so low the gun has time to start settling between shots. higher RPM provides a steadier, more constant recoil impulse, which is always easier to control and compensate for than one that comes in staccato. "use HMG on low RPM" is some of the most self-sabotaging advice you can give
>>557144996You'll get an MO dispatch message and you'll sit there and take it like the little bitch you are
>>557143641mg sentry is great at taking the heat off of you and getting rid of stragglers on your tail

>>557145316Super Earth has owned Cyberstan multiple times.
>seeing level 20's and 30's at D9Like, literally how and why. They shouldn't even be out of D6.
>>557145296Never used the Dynamite, how do I properly use it?
One day...
>>557145120That's interesting, and I can tell what you mean and believe it, though in practice I've used the HMG a lot and whenever I up the RPM I absolutely have more issues with recoil control. I'm not sure if there's anything to that besides muscle memory.I think if you're just holding left click until it runs dry you can compensate and hold it on point after a second of firing. But I'm not typically doing that. I'll fire for a short burst, and I have muscle memory to pull the reticule down just enough to get it over target. You'd need to be more aggressive with that compensation at higher RPMs.You also really don't need the extra dps unless you're trying to vent kill something, one eyeball shot drops a hulk and I get those reliably on 450. So there's better ammo economy.
>>557145454>chuck it at group of enemies>enemies dieits a shrimple as that
>>557145176DD no shadow of doubt
>>557145454See a bot drop? Toss them a pack or two.Can also deal with war striders, though I'm not sure if it takes 2 or 3. You can throw a lot anyway with supply backpack, I even throw them at regular troopers when I run away and have to reload my DCS.You can also cook them, but it's not required most of the time. Guess you have to when killing turrets or tanks? But I rarely do that with dynamite.
>>557145537charge up to heavy pen NOW
>>557145537>not making it a lever action
People are bitching everywhere about the fact that the surge of players for cyberstan made AH give us 70 millions more reinforcements.Do these people totally lack critical thinking?
>>557145715>laser weapon>lever actionhow the helly would that work
>>557145567>one eyeball shot drops a hulkit's 4 to the eye of a hulkyou can also still tap fire on the default RPM when you need precision shooting. I've been using the HMG on squids and bots since squids came out and I've never really felt setting it to 450 is the way to go. If I need to full auto something that still need a bit of precision like a harvester leg crouching or proning is way better for reducing and controlling recoil than lowering the RPM
>>557145824like when you crank your torch
>>557144734Same, I also put on AF-52 for maximum comfy chemical warfare
>>557145824Rule of cool.
>>557145824Like those hand-crank flashlights, but with a strong enough dynamo or whatever it is to fully charge it in one forward and back motion.
>>557144489Fortified or engineer armor makes the recoil bearable. But everything heavy other than hulks (I think the eye is only 25% durable and dies to three HMG rounds) takes too large a portion of the mag to kill.
>>557145824like a Fallout 4 laser musket, it just werks
>>557145831Well alright, it did make sense when you explained it. Probably is just that I've built the habit of using it at 450rpm, so it's my own muscle memory getting in the way at different settings. I'll try changing it up.
>three pub quickplays on diff6 cyberstan games in a row where everything is fucked
>>557146009>But everything heavy other than hulks takes too large a portion of the mag to kill.well I mean... it's not an anti-tank weapon. it has light anti-tank capability but it's not purpose made to kill heavies quickly and efficiently

>>5571449522 ultimatum and a 2 quasar to the upper body kills it
>>557145374Yes. Harpoon one shots Hulk eyes, fabs, and destroys bugs. Solo silo is a meme on Cyberstan but it's a solid pick on other bot operations.
>>557146345>Solo silo is a meme on Cyberstanit's one of the few options that can one-shot vox engines and it's great for cleaning up mass bot drops
>>557146262Quasar really is ass if it can't 1 hit kill something isn't it, i'm pretty sure the HMG kills it faster.
I'm seething because I can't play because my useless fucking ISP is shitting the bed and can't maintain a stable connection. I'd like to test shit firsthand instead of just theory-crafting. But is it just me, or should the HMG be a decent asset when it comes to softening the fuck out of vox engines?Does this math check out?>The vox engine's tracks have 3000 HP, are 0% durable, transfer 60% damage to main, and have armor level 4.>the vox engine has four tracks>The HMG inflicts 150 AP4 damage per bullet>Due to the AP matching the armor value, damage is reduced to 65, or 97.5 damage.>In other words, the HMG can destroy the tracks with 31 rounds. The HMG has a magazine size of 100 rounds.>A helldiver with good trigger discipline can destroy three tracks with one magazine of HMG ammo. This transfers ~5400 damage to main. Roughly half of the vox engine's HP pool from one magazine of HMG ammoThat's not enough to go all the way to lethal, but isn't this a resource efficient way to strip off like half of their HP and set them up for something like getting slapped in the face by an OPS or gatling barrage?Also, the variable might be silly.>total mode with a full magazine inflicts 4165 damage, or 980 durable damage with AP level 2>vox engine vents have 300 HP with level 1 armor and 60% durability.>a total mode shot will inflict 2254 damage to the vent.>when transferring damage to main, an individual hit can overflow the sub component's total HP (see: variable total mode killing harvesters with one singular eye shot)>in other words, this variable total mode shot to the vent inflicts ~2.2k damage to the vox's main HP. That's roughly comparable to an EAT
>>5571464083 minute cooldown to kill one Vox engine is a meme.
>>557146408I prefer the Leveler + 1 EAT combo.More utility and upkeep
>>557146262wow sounds like a great investment for a unit that is always present on the map and will undoubtedly be present in threes after maybe 10 minutes into any given mission
>>557146459you will never have time for sustained fire against a vox, you need fire and forget weapons like the leveler+EAT, the commando falls short
>>557146253>random bot shoots me the moment I fire my leveller
>>557146454I found the HMG unreliable because you have to stand there and unload while all sorts of shit is ragdolling and harassing you. The Quasar lets you take pot shots. Also this planet modifier cools it down quickly. >>557146568With the supply pack and the lucky random yellow ammo boxes I have soloed multiple VOX engine with ultimatum and quasar. With a full supply pack you can kill at least 3 Vox Engine rapidly. I haven't found anything more efficient than this.
>>557146724you can do all that with C4 in a fraction of the time

>>557146773Yeah but then you have no stims, no grenades, no primary weapon ammo. You need your primary to deal with cyborgs. I guess C4 comes in second in terms of usefulness.
>>557146817world creation (new IP) > world expansion (same universe)
>>557146459Tank needs 3 hits with main cannon on the body to kill a vox, but if you dump a few seconds of the machinegun in the tracks while loading the main gun you can kill it with 2 shots.That's the most practical use i found for shooting the tracks.
>>557146459If you're close enough to hit the tracks with an HMG without worrying about drag factor, you're close enough to get under it and go for the grenade hatch kill.
>>557146724I find the oppisite to be the case.Charging up the quasar leaves you to vulnerable to enemies, and ragdolling puts you back to 0.

It helps if your team isn't shit and can at least distract some bots. HMG can work I guess but I haven't found an upper body part that is weak to heavy pen bullets.
>3 missions finished>want to chill low d bug dive>don't want to kick anyone>sit in corner playing strat hero while they one by one leaveI wish there was a way to not kick people but just leave
>>557146904I don't find this a problem, but I only play duos with a buddy, so we get to double dip on every resupply. I would argue that since the Vox Engines are the absolute, utmost dangers on Cyberstan, killing them as fast as possible with options like the C4, Leveller, and Solo Silo will lighten the load on your other resources such as stims. I can't imagine spending the time to shoot a Vox Engine twice with a Quasar Cannon. That's just too much time investment for an enemy that spawns so often.

>>557143641I'm definitely getting bored of Vox Engines just clipping through everything and getting you in areas where you should be safe.
Walk me through this:>have a Quasar since Cyberstan is a cold planet and the higher heat dissipation makes it a very self-sufficient weapon>whenever a Vox Engine appears, call down a Leveller and just try to hit it center mass>doesn't matter if it survives, just pick up the Quasar and tap it one more time to finish it off>can do this once every two minutes, potentially faster if Levellers are stockpiled at hardpoints like extractDoes this seem like a sound strategy?
>>557148627Dont have that bond sadly but I sometimes go gas with medium medic armor
>get under one vox>the 2nd vox is at the perfect distance to vaporize me with its cannonsthis shit's getting old
>>557149361yes that's about the best a single player can do. if there's more than one vox then the rest of the team can help you chip at it, or you can finish it off with them.remember, the best weapon against vox is teamwork and cooperation
>>557149361Id replace quasar for EATs so dying and dropping in being funky won't be a big deal.Cyberstan doesn't have alot of long sightlines so quasars one strength is nullified.
>>557149742>Cyberstan doesn't have alot of long sightlinesit has tons of long sight lines it's a grid based city
>see tons of twitter normies and redditors complaining that diff6 cyberstan is kicking their ass>ok let me drop down from diff10 see how easy it is>maybe 3 factory striders the whole mission>couple war striders>mostly just chaff with a sprinkling of devastators and cyborgs>no voxesjesus christ I almost fell asleep during thathow can people be THIS bad
>>557149361Seems alright, if you're a bit more daring you could just use orbital smoke to block its sight on you, then rush underneath it to take out the vents with a primary + nade the hatch. Way more risky and dependant on both the terrain and malicious swede code not fucking you over but it would save you a strategem slot
>>557149824You can look down the lanes, sure.But a building is going to be blocking any base or turret you would want to hit.It's mostly short to medium ranges you'll be doing stuff at.
>>557149948I've had plenty of opportunities to snipe at towers and objectives from long distance with the quasar on cyberstan
>>557150089It's all still within "easy for EATs range" so i don't see why you would bother with the quasar, especially since you're already locked to the leveler.
the tank SUCKS
>>557150249because you encounter more than 2 hulks a minute, plus vox, plus towers
the tank FUCKS
the tank CHUCK'S
>>557149873Why'd you go through the trouble of typing all that when you also tell that you've never played on Cyberstan?When did you actually last play the game anyways instead of just posting about how easy and boring it is?
every time I shoot the vox with the reeducator in the rear vents it dies shortly after
Ive found the mg sentry to be really nice on cyberstan. >Low CD keeps it up when you want it>cleans up all the little shits that make you flinch constantly>drives cyborgs wild and makes them leave you the fuck alone>it also cleans up cyborgs super fast>easy to drop it where it covers an alleyway and holds an area you dont want to have to watch>doesnt get cucked by shield devs and hulks so much, because there is so many cyborgs rushing it all the time.>draws the fire of voxReally nice to have around.
the tank SNEEDS
>>557150571lower. the. difficulty.
>>557150249>>557150383you also need to deal with the completely random bounce zones all over the map less often with the quasar
>>557149873could you even post a picture of a factory strider on cyberstan
>>557149873there's no factory striders on Cyberstan you lying piece of shit brown subhuman shit eating nigger
>>557150664>>557150696I played with my retoooooner friend on D6 cyberstan today and factory striders replaced vox engine spawns.you did correctly comprehend what he wrote, right? he said he went from D10 DOWN TO D6 to see what the fuss was
>>557149742Stratagem Jammers are enough of a problem that I'd rather retain my ability to do AT work while under their effects.
>>557150696I can vouch for anon I played on diff 6 yesterday and saw factory striders, including watching them spawn at extract it was pretty kino watching them march over the hill by the extract
>>557150383>>557150631Quasar will always be a worse EAT if the map doesn't let you snipe with no enemies around you.And cyberstan can just spawn patrols in around the corner or directly on you.
>>557150664>>557150696>they think they know
>>557150803>Lowers the difficulty>It's less difficultSo what the fuck is the sperg getting mad at then?Sounds like he should just raise the difficulty

Here are some of my favorite reminders for you, sister.-Reminder that your entire discord of NEET losers spent hours going through my socials and the best "own" you could find was "you were in a foxhole clan 4 years ago".-Reminder that your little gay 6 month long cancelation crusade against me has completely failed. Nobody outside your troon circlejerk cares about this "beef" and I frequently join non trooncord lobbies and play with no issues.-Reminder that you feel very confident when you spam my name in these threads, but the moment your info gets posted you proceed to piss yourself and cry to the nearest janitor about "muh dox" and "muh harrasment". This is a great mirror for your behaviour in game where you think TKing for fun is le funny and epic as long as it's not being done to you. -Reminder that I have buck broken and spiritually raped you so hard that I would live in your head rent free until this kusoge goes EoS even if I completely stopped posting here. This is already confirmed by the fact that you think I'm like 10 different people at this point. -Reminder that you are a subhuman bugman and every insult you throw at me is projection at its peak as evidenced by your crews fascination with anime minors.

Had a hell of a last stand with a level 18 newbie. We cleared the map okay, but the extract point was ridiculously hot, to the point that the damn mission timer ran out on us without us being able to hit the beacon.We were down to our damn sidearms and holding two flanks at once before the Pelican finally dropped in. Can't believe neither of us died during those two minutes.

Why the fuck don't people listen to voice chat in a co-op game on the hardest difficulty? I ask someone for a backpack reload and they just ignore it and we all end up worse for it. Is asking for a little co-operation too much?
>>557154979Super Credits are not a recognized legal tender within Cyberstan.

>>557155070using voice chat is CRINGE
I don't know what the fuck they've done between yesterday and today but these Vox Engine spawn rates are completely unreasonable. I've not seen less than 5-6 at all times. You kill one and another immediately spawns in and takes its place.
>>557142554My liege...
Host doko?I'd do it but I'm semi-prone to crashing and it would mess the lobby.
The only new thing when we get to the capitol is maybe cyborg dogs because they were named in the files that leaked the cyborgs and vox engine. Cope is the actual siege mech but it was never shown and everyone thought it was the vox
>>557155837Vox is a great enemy.Though but has a multiple different weakspots.And has extreme fire power but everything is well telegraphed.Missiles mark where they will land, the gatlings are very inaccurate, and the side cannons can only fire forward and he can't turn on a dime.

>>557156534
>>557156534yeah, but all the good parts of the design break down when there's constantly 3 or 4 on your ass.you can play the D10, but it honestly feels more like work dealing with the endless Vox spamIf they spawned in Factory Strider numbers and stopped shooting thorugh their own body they'd be perfect.
>check minimap>clear>turn around>vox turret rape out of nowherefuck this game
>>557156831I asume the spam is just the big event being hard and memorable and afterwards they'll just spawn on dog levels and maybe some patrolling factory worlds.>>557156739Pic related.
>>557154979>Deploy to the heart of communism in the galaxy.>Wonder why they are broke ass poor, to the point they don't even have supercredits anywhere.
>>557156551Right after they decouple the armor passives from the actual armor models.
My problem with the vox is that every automaton can just clip through its treads when you're trying to nade the vents and block you
>>557156831>spawn in factory strider numbers>single one spawns every other bot drop>maybe one pre-spawned at an objective/outpost>immediately gets raped by a leveler/silo>never interact with themNah. Lower the difficulty to 7 or 8 if they are too much for you.

How are the primaries on the stealth warbond? Are any of them good?
>>557159214Epochs not bad, the charge time makes it a bit slower than other options, but it's got a good amount of ammo, and if you can aim well you can kill things like hulks in a single shot to the face, similar to the commando.AMR is decent, you need to work a bit more because of the sway and precision requirement, but it's pretty ammo efficient once you can nail hulk heads consistently, I've never run out of ammo with it. War striders are a pain to kill with it though, their eyes are tiny and they're either bobbing around or flinching you.

>>557158417Oh god I forgot about that. If the same exact fucking thing happens again I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. Let's see if Narrowhead figured out the IMMEASURABLE COMPLEXITIES of grouping multiple enemies together for a Major Order.
>>557159606Censor is an excellent Diligence sidegrade, the Suppressor is somewhere between the Lib and the Lib carbine.Both have to deal with a lot of bullet drop though. I think they're perfectly competent weapons on their own, although the silent part isn't that useful outside of commando ops.
>>557145176democratic detonation should've ideally been your first warbond, it's the bestdust devils only has the AR-2 coyote to note, being the best AR in the game and a 7/10 weapon overall. the armor is good on terminid hive worlds. the speargun is a worse railgun, the solo silo is a meme and no, it's not even guaranteed to instakill vox engines. the pineapple is the worst grenade in the game.
>>557160296>the speargun is a worse railgun>the solo silo is a memeholy fucking self report
>>557158357>>557158370There is no way this will do anything except dilute the players and make us fail. Another week of railroading thanks to Joel.
>>557160362aside from killing factory striders that don't exist in cyberstan, what can the solo silo do that the 500kg can't, for its 3 minute cooldown?also, speargun is just a worse railgun you retard. it does less damage with less penetration, with less ammo to boot. its ONLY advantage is closing holes. the AOE is completely worthless and you'll know this if you actually use it, it's not even enough damage to kill the tiniest bug chaff.
>>557160483>what can the solo silo do that the 500kg can't, for its 3 minute cooldown?Actually reliably hit it's target.
>>557160605now that's actually a self-report.

>>557158357>yet another pity MO that the bugdivers will failcolor me surprised (I'm not)
>>557158370So swiggers divert attention from cyberstan MO and now not only are we not going to get reinforcements but also fail both MOs
>>557159606For bots, Censor is great (when you're not fighting a bot drop) and one-shots devastator and berserker heads. Stealth actually works now and is very viable (assuming your squadmates are stealthing too or are on the other side of the map), you can pick off bots one-by-one from a distance and none of them will react. By taking out all troopers, you can then infiltrate outposts and objectives without worrying about any flares going off and summoning an army directly onto your head.For Squids, it kills Watchers quickly and doesn't alert them if you miss your first shot(s).For Bugs, I've never used it.
>>557154557I haven't had a successful extract on 10 yet that wasn't just hunkering down and praying. The most kino one was when we just took cover in a bot trench while holding down the sides

>>557161881Cyberstan: Supply Pack, Supply Pack, Supply Pack, Trident, Trident, Trident
>>557161709Yeah the vox engines are a great addition. Just fix the bugs like them shooting you through their own bodies when you're under them and toning down the spawn rate so you're not facing 5 of them all the time.
>>557161979Not from my experience, definitely more diversity than in bug front, especially now that GL wrecks BTs and chargers like it's nothing

Sick of Vox spam. Back to normalcy. Fuck Cyberstan. Why can't we just use that planet buster on it and be done.
>quickplay keeps throwing me into chink lobbiesHoly fuck fuck off.Why can't the matchmaker account for latency?>just find lobbies yourselfBecause there are only cities available it'll only show one (1) lobby per city for a current total of two (2) which quickly fill before I can verify that there are no chinks in it.
bots can apparently shoot the leveller rocket mid air and detonate it early as me and two of my teammates standing next to me just found out
> ctrl-F mines> nothing> bunch of things that works on bots before have been neutered on Cyberstan, forcing new strategiesMines were a big deal in HD1. Has anyone tried mining the Vox with antitank mines? They've got a huge/wide tread footprint, seems like ideal for them. >>557162330One of the guys I play with was running warp pack + sledge and killing stuff right and left. It look p fun. He was looking at different armors; one of them increases endurance when health goes down and seemed ideal for that build.
>>557160483The 500kg is fucking useless on Cyberstan, there are anti-air turrets across a good 50% of the procgen stage.
>>557163592If you were paying attention to the past threads. The Vox Engine renders most stratagem useless including mines. The Vox Engine can shoot homing mortar rockets from behind walls and clear entire areas. Also their upper body lasers will detonate any and all mines in an area. Your mines will be detonated before they get a chance to touch anything.
When I shoot a Vox Engine with a Quasar / EAT / RR where should I aim at other than the vent? I know I aim at the dick with my Leveler and Ultimatum.
>>557163592Mines detonate, but Vox has a lot of explosion resistance and is AV5 so they only do 0.65 damage.
>Cyberstan finally released>They gave into Nerftroons and made it nearly impossible meta shit>Half the new players left after only 1 dayNerftroons love killing this game
>>557163592>one AT mine deals 2k damage>Vox as 12k healthEven if they don't blow them up on accident with all their explosive spam, I don't see AT mines being terribly effective against them, you can maybe kill one if you're lucky, but there's always 3 more Voxes wanting to rape your ass
>>557163119cyberstan is... a super earth asset worth six septillions of superdollars. planet busting is not an option
>>557163592Every random using AT mines on cyberstan throws em too close so when a bunch of bots start spraying at us, stray shots hit the mines and end up killing us.
>>557163343Because for some reason arrowhead wanted to make a multiplayer game but without competent netcode. Just had a mission that was so laggy resupplies would take over a minute to actually arrive
Favorite crutches for Cyberstan?
>>557163860Scanned them but missed that discussion. So mines are still useless then. >>557164060>>557164008I would have been nice if mines at least blew off their tracks and made them immobile. Seems like not killing them prevents them from spawning elsewhere.

>>557164489post your career page
>>557164304It's been revealed in the past that this thread is primarily bugdivers. It's sickening.
I am 100% positive there are more Vox Engines than there are Hulks
>cyberstan eradicate>vox engines sitting atop buildings barraging the everliving shit out of (you)vox engine is dildos
>>557164578Playing on D8, feels like they're about equal which is fucked. AH has zero idea how to properly balance heavy spawns.
Blowing up bot buildings with the leveller is so satisfying. Huh? Bug MO? No thanks, I'll stick to Cyberstan
>come back to the game>play on a difficulty that is too hard for you>get mad and quitWhy do people do this?
>Hey shouldn't we capture this sector so we can get this factory hub back?>No let's all go to Gatria for no fucking reason.
>>557164304That happened sooner than I thought. I was thinking maybe a week at least, not after two whole days.
I'll be honest the most fun I'ved had in recent times in this game was oshaune and now cyberstan.Yeah without a meta loadout/ friend you need to lower the difficulty. But diff 8 is still a sweet spot with all content + I like the map design restricting your movements
>>557142651>irrationallyAutistic or just retarded contrarian?
>>557164727but charger penis bones are not very durable?
>>557164714Why would we go take this planet for the factory hub that doesn't do anything?
>>557164578I can attest to this. There is usually one hulk for every three Vox engines. They share the same slot in the heavy spawn pool, and they set the Vox's spawn weight way too high in comparison to everything else in that pool.
what if swedes made an option for difficulty setting called "locked in" where your mission successes are counted on a badge while "locked in" (dif 10 but harder?) then rename dif 1-10 to "training wheels 1-10"
>>557164774Purdy much this. By the time Oshaune was dragging on, I was able to push up into D10 once I figured out a load out that worked well. Still trying to figure it out for Cyberstan cause nothing I've tried so far gives good Vox removal plus decent enough normal bot clear. Tough balance.
>>557164774D8 is the solo sweet spot for me too. Winnable, but sometimes it drains all my resources and extracting is basically a rare bonus however I dont care. If I get my medals I consider that mission complete.
>>557159393The only mission on Cyberstan that requires AT is the flag
>>557164304>Bug divers shitting up Cyberstan with their orbital napalms and 8 deaths in a row.>AH creates MO so they don't have to asspull 6 trillion helldivers.
>>557164890I thought if the Swedes saw us capture it they'd lower the cooldown for vehicles or something. This is a cope I know.
>>557164445I'm not surprised. > Diving d5 with randos. Drop with single lvl6 fighting some 40 min mission. Oh well, I can probably solo this anyway.> He's anchored behind a wall, shooting at endless waves of chaff spawn> Throw my equipment strategems, one must have landed on a building and is inaccessible> Great fml> Leave rando to his spot, try to get around / through the wall of chaff and actually complete an objective> Die> He's completely out of reinforcements, apparently used them all up defending his wall.

Damn bro calm down, they're already dead
>>557164714My guess is they take gatria and bank on everyone seeing grand errant being one supply line so it becomes the next target and cuts off the supply line in the process
helldiapers going to lose on cyberstan btw
>>557164945You're speaking terminally online but this would be a cool system with some modification. I'd like to see some kind of mission streak stat with some minor cosmetic rewards for keeping your diver alive for as long as possible. Give the current (alive) diver a medal that jingles on your chest for surviving a full operation and add +1 every time you do. Bronze for D7, Silver for D8, Gold for D9, and the Helldiver skull with yellow trim for D10.
>>557164714>>557165124>thinking your actions matter in Joel's galactic railroadoh you sweet summer child
>>557164714Gatria happens to not have any bullshit on it except for EMP storms, so no stimtax strain, gas dog strain, or flying gear checks. That being said, bugdivers are just as dumb as the bugs themselves.
>>557164117What is this foid art?
Vox Engine is surprisingly easy to deal with once you've mastered the art of throwing a grenade into their exposed vent
>>557165270The hellnigs taking Cyberstan is much more interesting, but a failed offensive would let them completely ignore the bots for a long time so it must be pretty tempting
>>557165124>they'd lower the cooldown for vehicles or somethingLol, they'd give us a sudden jeet brigade to insta-capture a planet that apparently had an ordinance factory and then give us a doubled cooldowns for orbitals debuff because of it.
>>557164445Even Joel needs to tell them to LTD. Will they? Never.
>>557164025lower the difficulty
>>557155070can't be bothered to decipher your saarspeaklate night redneck yapping isn't much better>>557158979targets are very easy, it's gonna be finished in a couple of hours
>>557165662it's fun when it works but the problems are1. it has an attack in which it aims its main guns down and fires them while spinning to flush you out from beneath it, i believe this is fair2. in true swedish fashion, its turrets can shoot through the vox engine itself. this is bullshit3. other enemies can walk through the vox engine as if it wasn't there, meaning you can get rushed down from any angle. this is bullshit4. other vox engines will hunt you as you do it5. your teammates will bomb it and kill you while you do it
>>557164561You first
>>557165958the vox is also faster than you even in light armor, so it can run away if there's room and you are its focus
>>557166110true, but this is hardly ever relevant from my experience. another big issue is that it LOVES to clip through walls and hide its weakspots or turn itself around awkwardly to where you cannot approach it. they also love to camp the top of buildings. there's just too many factors that make it bullshit when in practice it should be a proper fair and tough enemy.
>>557166092I accept your concession.
>>557165958> in true swedish fashion, its turrets can shoot through the vox engine itself. this is bullshitThis has to be a balance choice. They give the bastion a shitty 45° stationary turret and cannon. They give enemy fully rotating turrets and cannons that are responsive and fast.
>>557145296I don't get the spear gun.That thing is ass. What gives?
>>557166207Lower the Difficulty(LTD)
>>557166446I choose to believe that the Vox Engine was outsourced and whoever made it forgot to add angle limits to its weapons.
>>557166592safe mode railgun with built in confusion effect
>>557162330My anecdotal experience is that it is better to go with explosive resistance. Rock Solid will keep your feet on the ground while the rest of your helldiver blows up. Explosive resistance will keep you alive more often.
>>557166592Your skill issue

>>557165958Point 2 and 3 is my biggest gripe. You try and pop the vents on it and you have cyborgs/lasers coming in at you from every angle. Then trying to line up a grenade throw into the vent and you're getting blasted by the cannons. Also the torso of vox unit clips through itself and the open vents and essentially blocks them as well.
if they intend to keep trident that way then sickles really need their firing delay removed.

>>557158743Don't be a retard. The playerbase jumped from 30k CCU to 300k CCU. The depletion or reinforcements was AT LEAST 10x faster, not counting that there are sales, noobs and returning players that obviously are not as good at the game. If they didn't do that the battle would have ended two days ago.
>>557172000In the low chance that we do get something, it'll probably be something like "free Eagle Smoke" for everyone and not an actual buff.
I tried doing difficulty 6 and this was so much more harder than 5. Until 5 I was following the advise of run around and try focusing on objectives, which I was able to do but there are alot of tanky enemies now. There was even a giant at-at walker that shrugged off multiple rockets, 500 kilo bomb and airstrike. Recently hit level 20 too so any recommendation on stratagems and how to improve? Am I supposed to rush to objective, clear it out, deal with enemies that drop from pod and then move onto next obj?
>>557172000>>557164714it was a requirement for fleet wide deployed of frvit's meaningless now

Alright, if I could have one thing done to Vox: it's have proper collision implemented for their damn treads. None of this damn "phasing through one another, or being able to swizzle the track assembly when it's abutting a fence/wall. It'd really at least add an element of being able to lure the bastards into a spot they essentially can't maneuver in. If I could get two, then I'd want the former and and their treads should run over allied bots/borgs too.

>>557171923In the two (three?) years of this game's life they've yet to add a proper resource sink to incentivize people to keep collecting samples despite being the simplest thing in the worldAs for medals, you're better off just playing the game on the high dificulties, you'll get whatever the MO promises in 4 or 5 gamesAnd they don't want you to get TOO many SCs

>>557172415I love the Quasar. It's my favorite Anti-tank weapon for automatons. You can snipe fabricators from across the map one after the other and never have to worry about ammo. It's also backpackless so you can use it with whatever you want. I like to pick up my squadmates' spare weapon stratagem backpacks they've dropped and then surprise team-reload them. They love it.But the problem is when I was a wee level 20 I died a lot, meaning I dropped my gear surrounded by enemies where it was hard to retrieve. So if I were you I'd equip EAT, Eagle Strafing Run for wiping out conga-lines of devastators chasing you, rocket sentry is very effective against bots, and your fourth stratagem can be whatever you want.Wait, you're on Cyberstan, right? Shit, all normal advice doesn't really apply there, sentries and eagles aren't as good as they normally are. And I can't say "Just run away." because bots spawn everywhere all the time (on difficulty 10, at least).I will say equip the free green Alpha Commander medic armor I think all players have. The extra +2 stronger stims really helped carry me as a noob. I remember thinking difficulty 6 was really hard. But someday you'll become a hardened veteran and find even difficulty 10 easy.
>>557174606I am new
>>557147382Not really. Arc is in a rough place since Alexus decided to stealth nerf Coyote, because it takes two cconsecutive hits to stun most enemies larger than a devastator, and that means consecutive. No gaps whatsoever, no window to sneak in a different target then switch back like you could pre-nerf. Every time I think I may have managed to lock down a Vox for a few hot seconds, there's tended to be a character in it's LOS that it was tracking instead of me, then once it switches attention, or some chaff interrupts me, boom. That's all she wrote. On the other hand though, arc absolutely fucks the scene with regards to everything else on Cyberstan. Higher trooper numbers, and tightly gathered groups mean you can get into a great flow state just demolishing everything with Arc Thrower/TK-9.
>>557172415Vox is cancer to deal with solo, you need a good team. If your team is shit then running from objective to objective is your only chance to finish the mission.Gattling Barrage, 120mm Orbital, Recoiless Rifle, (Free Space). Use RR to snipe fabricators from outside an outpost. Heavy fabricators get killed in one window shot. 3 RR shots to a Vox head kills it. War Strider 1 crotch or leg shot. Hulks can be shot anywhere. Drop Gattlings and 120mm on Vox that don't move or bunched up enemies.
>>557172797>two (three?)It's two, are you fucking retarded?
LMAO they gave bugdivers their own side order so they wouldn't be completely wasting the reinforcements
>team is eating shit>my fat ass in grand juror is forced to do all objectives soloPortable hellbomb is my only friend on this bitch of a planet.
>>557172415>Am I supposed to rush to objective, clear it out deal with enemies that drop from pod and then move onto next obj?Dealing with enemies should always be avoided unless its a stated mission objective (which it usually is not) or dealing with them is unavoidable because their presence prohibits access to whatever areas you need to accomplish the objective (like a terminal, or a hellbomb placement location). This is a mission accomplishment game, not a horde shooter (though some mission objectives turn it into a horde shooter)
>>557173692Probably the absolute best way to do it in both balance and longevity
I've been having fun doing stealth diff 4 operations on Cyberstan, unironically provide more to the cause than when me and my friends try diff 8-10 and die a bunch
>>557175206They will still fail it is the even funnier part.
>>557174996>Use RR to snipe fabricators from outside an outpost. Heavy fabricators get killed in one window shot.A quasar does this far better, especially on cyberstan, since its an extreme cold planet and thus the quasar cools down faster.
>impaler body stuck on the civvie door and won't despawn cause it keeps moving around>Get stuck behind it opening the door and eventually die to two hive guards that clip through the body just fine You don't hate Arrowhead enough.
are you meant to leave patrols and unaggroed enemies alone on higher difficulty
>>557175538Have fun killing Vox spam with Quasar, retard.
So is the plan>Take Autonomy>Quickly go to bug front to get more lives>Go back to Cyberstan and see which of the 3 mega factories are worth taking nextWe need to march to Transcendence so we can't get stuck on Solidaritet, so it'll have to be one of the two factories that are opened up by taking Autonomy
>>557175674idk idc
>>557175453I know what you mean. Sneaking through bot town is at times more enjoyable than the constant ass fucking of the higher difficulties
>>557175639That's what the Leveler, Utlimatum, OPS and Gatling Barrage are for
>>557171923get the nigger arrows mod --points out all the SC, medals, and samples on the map with arrows that shoot from the sky. don't waste time opening POI that contains arc throwers, if it doesn't have an arrow, don't bother. yeah it makes your game look like a rave for now, but once you've farmed the samples and SC, you can turn the mod off forever.
>>557175639shooting vents and popping a frag in the hatch is a far more effective way to deal with vox, if you were stupid enough to cause them to spam in the first place. Lower the difficulty.
>>557175805The guy that asked for advice is level 20, retard.
I am joelAMABe respectful or i won/t answer to you
>>557175770It's also the perfect difficulty for stealth builds, it sharts out so many infantry that you really can't stay anywhere too long or a bot drop will come down. It's life efficient as well, I'm providing 5 liberation points in about 30 minutes at the cost of maybe 1 life. Compared to the 10 liberation points in about an hour after dozens of deaths with a full squad on diff 10.
>>557175904kill yourself, preferably by being set on fire
>>557175879Level 20's don't have OPS and Orbital Gatling? Can't depend on the Ultimatum crutches and Leveler though that's for sure. A RR is equally ineffective against Vox spam as Quasar, at the very least Quasar
>>557175904Will you ever make the galactic war less stagnant? For example, shouldn't the bots have to start giving up a lot of planets to save Cyberstan?
>>5571760972 RRs can team load each other to kill 3+ Vox instantly. You don't play the game, tranny.
>>557176462I'll have to try that, tried a team of Quasars but the light armor sissies kept getting one shot and messing things up.
>>557176462>team loadNobody does this>play with friendsHave fun on easy mode.
breaching hammer+warp pack my beloved
>>557174908>You can snipe fabricators from across the map one after the other and never have to worry about ammo.I see, I will grab this then and try to. I do the same with both discardable EAT and commando. >was a wee level 20 I died a lot, meaning I dropped my gear surrounded by enemiesThat does happen few times when I am surrounded on all 4 sides with no where to do leap dodges. So EAT/Commando combo isn't so bad but I have to gitgud too. I run with those two+orbital laser and autocannon sentry. I will try using Quaser+Strafing. >CyberstanYeah. I can see why eagles aren't good because alot of times AA stop them but whats wrong with sentries? >>557174996>VoxI have heard about them but haven't seen them yet. I think they show up from 7 and I am currently trying to be good at 6. I was talking about the factory strider being at-at walker.>team is shit then running from objective to objective is your only chance to finish the mission.Which is what made me question my approach, they'd be hanging back alot of times and some of them were high levels too 60/75. Though I suppose maybe they are finding lower difficulties fun and just killing shit. I will also try that stratagem combo next time. Thank you.
>>557176462>team load>everlollmao even
>>557175856>stupid enough to cause them to spam in the first place.What is Flag Raise mission. What is extraction that's not on the edge of the map. What is multiple Vox Engines spawning out of thin air instead of patrols. You don't play the game, tranny.
>>557176792>Yeah. I can see why eagles aren't good because alot of times AA stop them but whats wrong with sentries?Vox engines can bombard them from behind cover with their missiles. Shirtless cyborgs also throw smoke grenades which disrupts the sentries, then they run up to your sentry and kick it to death. Only value I found with sentries on Cyberstan was using them to draw aggro away from me, but they aren't worth an entire slot just for that.
>>557175904VOX nerf when
>>557176462holy fuck I legitimately forgot team reload exists.
>>557176856to that one anon on oshaune where we both picked airburst and you were backpack reloading me while we were stranded in the caves on a defend objectiveI still think about you everyday
>>557166446Hey, anyone tested whether AT can scrag the turrets on a Vox? It still blows having to dump two AT's per disarmed Vox just to have them get reduced to essentially a fanged guided missile Fac Strider, but it'd be a possible improvement.
>>557176925>What is Flag Raise mission. What is extraction that's not on the edge of the map.My points stand. Manuever and make it happen or you are simply a stand and shoot casual>What is multiple Vox Engines spawning out of thin air instead of patrols.Like I said, you are fucking up by making them spawn that way in the first place. If you cannot control the map to prevent, lower the difficulty.
i know the lore doesnt matter but why do we harvest the 'organic plasma'? is it just a lame excuse to be evil?
>>557176792>whats wrong with sentries?Cyborg Radicals throw smoke grenades on them, blinding them so they can sprint up to them and kick the shit out of them until they explode. And Vox Engines simply delete them effortlessly.I'll admit I've only ever dived on Cyberstan on difficulty 10 so perhaps sentries are more viable on lower difficulties. If currently your sentries are effective then feel free keep bringing them.
Only downside to the GL loadouts is that nothing can really take on the gunship from your arsenal. Reds cant do the job, greens are too unweildy and are going to get killed before doing the job on Cyberstan D10.
so cool of them to add hive scum to helldivers
>>557177521Your purifier?Your mini purifier?
>>557144059I like this one toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlLQ2qJmy8c
>>557177481the fast refresh shit like gatling and airburst seem to work best. emplacements and turrets get blown up too fast
>>557177169i wish it wasn't so finiky and that it demands you swap packs, it completely kills my desire to try it, even with friends
>>557177595Do mini purifiers actually take down gunships? Scorcher wasnt fit for the job, and I dont like charge primaries.
>>557177481I'm playing on D10 and I'm starting to like the MG sentry despite writing them off at first. They help at clearing out the constant patrols that walk into your flank as you fight drops and if a vox is around, I'll throw them to pull aggro so I can get to the vents solo. The cooldown is so short it doesn't really matter when they go down.
>>557174996>3 RR shots to a Vox head kills it.Does it?
>Autonomy leads to a factory which then leads to TranscendenceHonestly this is doable, we just need to take three cities total. It won't liberate the whole planet but it might drop enemy resistance values a bunch once we do.
>>557177398To power the Plasma Punisher, duh
>>557177917It does, when things are dire and you can't go to the back of Vox
>>557178123>private
>>557178315can you provide a video of you killing a vox with three RR head shots?
>>557178315I'm a bit of a mathlet, but doesn't the head have more hp than the body?
>>557177878MG is the only sentry worth bringing to cyberstan IMO.
>>557178518No, the upper torso has more HP than the body, however the Sarcophagus, were the pilot sits, has only 7,000 HP and the face plate is how you can damage it directly
>>557178627>Known issues:>The sarcophagus vent part is currently bugged and will not kill the Vox Engine when destroyed.
>>557171923>I can't expect everyone to carry my ass for the medalsyes you can>I don't even get samples or SC for my troubleThen go somewhere else to farm them, or buy your SC, or just wait for this Arc to be over. You'll be playing this for a long time, and there's plenty to do. Don't let your high time preference make a nog out of you.
>>557176792>Factory StriderFactory strider is 2 RR shots to the head or 1 RR shot to the eye on its head. 1RR shot if you run under it and target the trap door. 2 RR shots to a single leg will also kill it if you don't have a good angle on the head.
>>557178689The vent part, not the faceplate.
We're getting to the point where autonomy is going to start to lose liberation. There's no point in engaging with this MO at all even more so than previous MOs. Only a swede could take fun and new content and find a way to scorn the players in the process.
>>557174996>solofags>doesn't manage aggro>complains there are too many enemiesI don't even have to say it. You know what you have to do.
>D7 Cyberstan>Perfectly comfy >Lower levels playing follow the high rank Maybe when they fix the absurd vox spawn rate I'll go back up but this ain't so bad. I think I'll bring the flag next match to do some dicking around with the low levels.

>>557178123retard, learn to host a lobby
>>557179091An Australian, i think
>>557179017It's a trade off. We concede some of our liberation effort for more reinforcements, which will be if more benefit over the long term course of the campaign. It's not like autonomy won't be liberated. Just relax. Rome wasn't built in a day.
>>557179162oh like kangaroo.
>>557179017Our liberation rate has steadily gone up the last few hours, it cratered during Chink time because there aren't any D1's for them to brainlessly spam
GIVE ME CYBERSTAN ARMOR AND MY LIFE IS YOURS. ANONS WHAT KIND OF ARMOR DO YOU THINK WE WILL GET ONCE WE LIBERATE THE ROBOTS? Also fuck the Bug Divers why is there a new major order for them?
>>557179446I don't mind the bug order, bots have been the focus for weeks now. We aren't even shifting away from bots we're going on a fun bug safari to gather resources. I plan to go with a squad wearing parade armor riding around in a bastion.

>>557181360Factory worlds will pop up, just like hive worlds did.
>>557180738You're getting meme'd on but enemies in general spawning behind you silently is a problem common to all factions. It's more visible on cyberstan from the high density of patrols. Enemies that one shot or ragdoll you feel extra bad to have sneak up on you like a staff overseer, charger, or now a cyborg.
I've been using the pacifier of all things against cyborgs and it's pretty neat. Stops them dead in their tracks.
CE Not working anymore, anyone have new version?Fuck Swedee
>>557181575The problem is the sound-bug that has been active for months now.You literally can't rely on hearing. It is in fact a detriment because you'll be spending time looking around due to phantom sounds.
>>557181575I just dont get it. Vox Engines are PISS EASY to deal with. Even if there are several. They are big, easy to zone out and just something you can avoid or shoot from a distance. Fucking running shotgun niggers sprint towards you and are chronically out of your FOV and the las dog or guard dog does NOT give enough damage to take out five of them as they spawn on D8 and above.
>>557181684You're a cheating brownoid.
>>557181360They'll make more factory worlds to replace it and we'll get a cool cape. If we don't take it then they'll make more factory worlds anyway and then probably launch a big offensive that nullifies a lot of the progress we made. We NEED to win

Honestly the most kino part of this update is getting stuck inside of the cyborg factory main objective as it's about to explode and just holding that tiny little alcove
Bring back the Quasar glitch It's impossible to use the damn weapon in a high pressure situation with all the ragdolling going on interrupting your charge. The situation was bad enough with war striders, vox engines are just over the top.
What are your opinions on taking medium armor that has the passive Ballistic Padding versus Extra Padding?
My biological clock is ticking.I simply MUST die in an oily ditch on Cyberstan.

Not enough buttons unless you have paddles on the bottom like the Steam Controller or DualSense Elite (which costs $120 lol), so you can't bind extra shit like the quick weapon wheel commands.That being said, this game is not so demanding as to be impossible with a controller, so as long as you're fine with basic controls you're good to go.
