Big title update tomorrow

Everyone is forgetting what happened the last time we tried to push the Automatons out of the galaxy

Also think we're getting Year of the Horse stuff in the Superstore

The androids are gonna ruin so many days and I'm wondering if the bots have a nasty unit like the hive mind.

Have they added anything that'd make it worth playing again if i got bored of it a year ago

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

plenty of new guns and whatnot, new big stratagems, new mission types and objectives. big city missions. a big fuck off tank. squids are still boring because they're unfinished as fuck though

Are there more options for dealing with armor or are you still limited to either carrying around a quasar cannon or shit that will run out of ammo after dealing with 1/10th the armored enemies on a map

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They've definitely tuned some things, but the RR/Quasar is still meta for dealing with heavies. Grenades, grenade launchers, railgun, heavy MG, all much more competent than they used to be because of damage/penetration/durable damage increases, and some nerfs to the way armor worked. I typically take either the GL or Railgun for fun because the quasar/rr makes things too easy, even on level 10

The heavy machinegun damages armored stuff now? When I last played it basically did nothing, the recoilless rifle sucked, pretty much every single thing sucked actually because you'd have to shoot a single pixel weak spot to do any damage and even doing that you're just out of ammo by the time you kill like, two armored enemies

So I was bringing the quasar cannon with me every single time because it was the only way to deal with the non stop armored enemies. Which was really boring because it's like I had 20 guns and only two of them worth using

The RR has literally always been THE heavy destroyer. You don't even need to hit weakpoints on most enemies for it to eliminate them anymore, especially hulks and that tier. RR takes out bot drops, hulks, bile titans, chargers and more in a single shot. Anything bigger, you're supposed to be using stratagems or anti-tank on multiple weakpoints

Tried the speargun? I've enjoyed it quite a bit as a flex anti-heavy/anti-tank sniper

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

There's a fair bit more enemy diversity and mission variety now

Plus they've been really fucking around with spawn amounts and making missions feel hectic
