alright, whats the ranger weapon that makes fighting no. 11 not a gigantic pain in the ass?

I played ranger a lot on PS4 but I don't recall what "No. 11" is. Can you give me some more details?

I just used a good AR and the MLRA for most of that.

i have no ARs that can reach it when its in egg form and trying to blow open the shield take for fucking ever.

same

the fucking mothership that turns into an agg

What mission are you talking about? Are we even talking about the same game?

mission 109: no.11 of the game Earth Defence Force 5, for steam.

>play as Air Raider
>call airstrike on a huge wave
>it recharges instantly
Is there anything more satisfying?

>mission 109
Well fuck user most people on steam haven't gotten that far.

yeah well i didnt have shit to do but save the earth, now what ranger weapons are going to help me kill this thing and not get blinded by pure fucking purple for a full minute before i die, unable to move and heal. JUST FUCKING HELP ME AAAAAAA

i kinda miss only unlocking weapons for the class you're currently playing. shared armor is good though.

I don't remember the wing diver being this shit in 4.1. It's all hold to charge weapons that take forever and barely do any significant AoE damage. I just started playing, at level 5. Does it get better with her?

I took the steamworks fix files, the two .dll files and replaced them but now EDF 5 doesnt open? What did I do wrong?

>look it up
Oh this mission. For a ranger I'd bring a sniper rifle and a good missile launcher.

user...

Short answer, yes.
But you'll still need to get used to the charge time mechanics if you want to use anything more than the typical rapier, spark vines, bows etc. You recharge your boost energy even if you're holding a full charged weapon so you need to learn to keep your distance and fly to a good firing position and repeating that sort of thing with a lot of weapons.
Play on Hard you'll get more weapons faster and have them drop at a higher base level so the stats/times will be a bit improved as you get them hopefully.

Oohhh. THAT. I think I just used my longest range sniper rifle for the ship and a shotgun for the enemies that are dropped in. Support gear for faster sprinting. Stage took fucking AGES but was pretty easy if you just focus on blowing up each and every segment of the outermost ring before moving on to the next. I imagine you could potentially do some good work with long range missile launchers and the support gear to focus fire, but I only slogged my way through that mission like twice.

first edf game
should i start on hard right from the get go?

If you want to get your ass reamed.

Steam needs to be running and logged in to an account.
Restarting Steam after applying the fix helps a lot of people with the game not launching at all after the initial application of the Steamworks fix.
An user previously had to restart several times.
Try a clean install and using the crack+unlocker first then the v2 Steamworks fix from cs.rin.ru
You pirated a good game. Have fun!

How do I unlock hardest and inferno?

Beat the game.

Yeah, I just had to open up steam, should I use my regular account or a throwaway one?

So pirates got their own "server" right?

I've been doing Hard with Ranger up to 62 so far and I've only died a handful of times, always because I go too rambo.

Well let me re-phrase. You will unlock higher level weapons, but you wont have the health for the difficulty. It's still doable though. Just probably wont be fun.

Play Normal for at least a few missions til you kind of understand what you're up against and how your movement and enemy AI and enemy AI/spawn/hording works.
But switch to Hard as soon as you feel comfortable. More and better drops, less of a cakewalk.

Now on mission 23 on Hard

Turrets, Air Strike guns, bombs. You have damage you just have to go about it another way.

I'm lucky today, the bullets won't hit me!

Gunships, son. May need to farm weapon drops because the difference between a level 1 and max reload/cooldown is fucking massive.

Oh and robots do well too.

Can someone explain how to farm a specific weapon? I'm trying to get the FG 8 which apparently drops on mission 7 but no dice.

Turrets are on a 40-50 second cooldown though

>If you want to get your ass reamed.
>hard
>even remotely hard

WAIT! THAT AIRSTRIKE WAS CALLED IN BY A CIVILIAN?

Yeah well you just have to deal with that until they get upgraded. Learn to start reloading your turrets before waves are done and to fill the gap with Gunships in between.

Do I have to treat this game more like monster hunter and actually build up my character for harder levels?

>Over 100 missions.

I already completed some missions that were ether rehashes of 4.1 or genuinely could have been the final boss.

Honestly the game it'self is 4.1 NG+ in terms of skill related difficulty. I can only imagine how people would play this on the PS3,when they reach those grey aliens.

Pirates can only play with Pirates, yes.
If your have a friend that bought it legit they need to have a second install of the game but use the crack and steamfix to play together and that second copy of theirs won't be able to get online normally but their original one still could, far as I know.

So will farming earlier levels give me less/worse weapon drops or can I just replay that beach level 200 times?

is there any way to go fast as air raider?

Its actually super useful for farming
The missions with the rollypolly bugs are super easy to farm if you just sit inside a parking garage

the vulcan is pretty good, great range and easy to strafe with

Without a vehicle? Roll. That's the tried and true method.

>plebs dont know about using helicopter for air strikes trick

Are we saying worse than 4.1? I was the 1% of people who actually could pilot helis well in that game, and thought they were fun but niche for missions. I just want to fly bros.

So, are there flying bombs later on?

What did they mean by this? In what world do frogs look afraid of water?

They look just like us! Two arms, two eyes, like a human! The resemblance is.. Incredible!

What does the special equipment do for ranger? It says it increases stuff like movement speed and item pickup radius, but why would i use that over a vehicle? +100% increased pickup radius is nothing if the radius is already small as hell.

Just wait until greatest final confrontation

Dash acceleration/speed is good user, you might want to try that

How good a weapon's stat is. The higher the star count the better the stat. That sniper rifle is basically pure garbage because its stats are the lowest it can be.

I chuckled when the tutorial guy was impressed by your ability to walk around.

How does this directly compare to 4.1
What is better, what is worse?
Probably will get it either way soon, but I was wondering.

Yes. The drone mission will likely pulverize you on the first couple attempts though.

The radius one make you project the pickup circle when not running.

Reminder to bring flame turrets for the caves. They stunlock.

Yes
Quick warning though if you play in online lobbies and are alone the game is much harder than if you play in offline mode

What are the benefits of playing ranger? It seems to have none of the positives of the other classes (mobility, aoe air strikes, firepower) with no or few positives.

Yes

No it scales depending on how many players you have
But if you're solo it scales to 4 player health values

I started on hard and most of the game was pretty chill except that very fucking first mission where you have to fight the waves of drones from the mothership. It was balls hard compared to literally everything up until like mission 30/40 when stuff became comparatively difficult.

Yes

Where are the lobbies

It should be noted enemy DAMAGE also goes up, a lot of people think its only health.

Default bind is V.

v is push to talk, but dont use it because that is pathetic. True EDF members use only built in chat commands

OH WE ARE THE VALIANT INFANTRY

It should be always on, its why so many random lobbies have communications disabled
IIRC it uses your default mic

I haven't tried fencer just yet, been playing air raider/ranger in coop. Danger grenades are just too much fun. I enjoy getting weapons for other classes though since it means if I want to I can jump in around the same level as a different class, whereas in 4.1 you basically had to fucking start the entire game over and farm specific missions.

I want to sing the EDF theme with my bros though.

When making rooms, you guys should also say what mission you're gonna start at.

Why are Cosmonauts such unadultered pure bullshit?

I'm seriously considering advancing past this mission on Normal now. I don't think even a Fencer can handle this, though I guess I could just run as fast as I possibly can away from the center. Maybe a Grape might be the best option. All those crates have to be given up if I run.

The upgrade system is a bad change. Every new weapon you get is likely to be completely unusable until several copies are found or you were really lucky on the first drop. Sometimes the upgrades appear to make weapons better, like 0.25 second charge times for Flame Revolvers, but those stats should really be there by default.

Try wing diver with the best lance you have and just one shot them one at a time and air roll to the other side of the map if you get low on energy

First time encountering the greys the game will drop a shit ton of them on your ass until mission control tells you to retreat. It serves as a big bullshit to make you scared of them which should work, they're basically Frogs on steroids, be very afraid. They'll come in more manageable numbers after that. Also the Free bike is hilariously effective against them.

You can use bombers? I specifically did not pick any bombers because I thought the mission would restrict them at times like 4.1 does.

Does playing on hard give better drops?

Yes.

Yes.

Does the voice command menu screen slow down the game for anyone else? I have a pretty good computer (i7, gtx 1080, etc) and the rest of the game runs fine.

The japanese version in 4.1 is still based on the same tune as english though

I think it goes up to like, 8 or 10 in the DLC. It's fucking amazing. You can expect to get closer to 4 or 5 by the end of hard.

THEY SHOULD BE ON A LEASH

How is fencer in five? People saying he has multiple dashes and such makes me curious since I thought he seemed awesome in 4.1 but I didn't want to have to give myself RSI to not be slow as a snail.

It sounds better because it's a japanese song originally.

He gets multiple dashes from equipment. You get more dashes with higher level equipment, so things can be pretty slow for a while.

I thought japs hate pirates, but I met several of them in lobbies. Real japs, not weebs.

You press spacebar (or whatever your favorite button is) once a second to be fast. Not any different than firing your gun or holding W.

Mission 61 can suck a dick.

Does Fencer ever get multiple jumps, or a super jump? I'm really disliking the one jump every five seconds that still isn't good enough to climb a hill, let alone a building.

wait edf 5 is pirate friendly?

You can pirate, get DLC's but only play in Pirate's lobbies apparently.

sort of, get the steamworks fix and you can play with other pirates

Can nonpirates play with pirates and vice versa?

Is there a lot of content in this, or is it just "repeat the same twenty missions over and over, just harder difficulty?"

Fencer doesn't deserve to fly, he's already fast as fuck boi. Leave the skies to air raiders/wing divers and keep your fat but incredibly speedy ass on the ground soldier.

Have you ever played a fucking edf game?

nonpirates can download a separate instance and use the steamworks fix on it to play with pirates, but pirates can only play with people using steamworks fix

No.
Why do you think I'm asking?

Add another 100 missions and you're correct.

Man the volvanic ball thing for WD is a lot of fun to use.

Please tell me its not just a one-time thing that stays on its level without ever getting an upgrade.

WD in 5 is training wheels compared to 4. The charged takes a little getting used to but not a big deal if you're playing on controller.

I don't understand how people can play on normal. Feels like such a waste of time.

Is this game fun? Cash is tight right now but I might save up to get it if it's worth it

I want to fuck the spritefall operator.

For me I like to take my time getting a chance to see how all the weapons progress instead of jumping to end game ones. Although may jump to hard a few times since you don't have to beat a mission on every difficulty now to get the achievement.

Wouldn't know. Been playing on XBO controller since day one without issue. I'd probably just set up macros on KBM.

An evasive dash is all I ever wanted for WD in 4.1 desu. It completely changes the way the class plays.

3/4, Hard, Pirates, Mission 12.

My lobby is open again. Other 3 players left, so come join. Name is ITS YOUR TURN BRO

Which weapons should I use for Wing Diver other than the thunder bows? I feel like all the short range weapons are too dangerous or useless if you're not against pure insect mobs.

My mag is cracked!

Monster Attack and EDF2017 had rather few missions

It's just EDF2, EDF4.1 and EDF5 with a lot of missions

I find ranger fun because it forces you to be the little guy and you have to traverse the terrain. It is the best for the single player experience imo

That constant refrain definitely made missions 5-20 feel like filler.

Lances. The double lance or the force lance in particular. Stunlocks shit and you can dodge between shots. Lightning guns are meh this time around. Lasers are trash.
Homing weapons, snipers, stardust cannon and plasma cannons are also alright as a secondary depending on the situation.
Also special grenades are actually usable now, unlike 4.1.

Go with the big single hit close range Lances to nuke anything in front of you as you strafe around them. You can charge in advance so you have full energy to fly in, blast their heads off in one shot and fly away.

Most others are short but strong or long but weak, BUT a select few Lasers are extremely good, such as the "Close Laser" with 500m range and huge damage to sear shit to death quickly from a safe distance. You can just sweep the sky at random and take down countless flying drones while the beam lasts half a minute.

Who else /stardustcannon/ here

Dash canceling is mostly gone.
In it's place you have parts that increase the number of consecutive dashes and hops you can do before a short cool-down.

They can be used in conjunction to dash-hop at very high speeds across the map. This works by first dashing, then quickly using the hop-boosters to cancel the deccelleration frames for the dash. You'll long-jump at full speed, though it doesn't have the same delayed inertia of dash-cancelling.

There are public rooms you can join/host.

Sell me on this weapon.

Just join a public room. Look through the thread for some open games. I'm about to host one.

Room name is ITS YOUR TURN BRO

It is a cannon from the stars that turns everything to dust.

WHY DOS THIS GAME COSTS $50 DOLLARS?????

What if a wing diver has to poop like really bad? Do they just fly around with their shorts down and poop? Who's gonna catch them? Also if they hate someone, do they poop on that person's car like birds? Do they get their fellow wing divers to help them out?

Dual 25mm cannons on one slot, cqc weapon and melee on second. Snipe with cannons if you don’t have boost upgrades, use cqc set at close range or to move around

Why the fuck do you get so few vehicles early on as air raider

I hate red ants so much

Because they want you to be air raiding

Shotgun>>>>>>>>>>>>assault rifles

but the strikes you get early on are also crap

Theres some 3 layer actual bomb ones that are the best to spam
Usually use a 150mm cannon too for rapid smack

Those attack ship strikes that reload in a few seconds are fairly strong for as early as you get them

There's one AR that has 900+ rounds with a 2s reload. It has penetration too. All of this is offset by its low damage per bullet.

That's my go to weapon for mission 101 farming.

How does the room system work? I join some and I see players listed as Play, does that mean they're already in game? Because I'd like to actually play and not sit and wait forever for the mission to finish...

As usual for nip games they don't let you filter to not-started because they'll all just meekly sit and wait for 20 minutes until the other players come back, so they don't consider it an issue.

It's not just health and damage.
Some enemies (like ants) fire more projectiles, and waves spawn with more enemies on higher difficulties. More mutants will spawn on higher difficulties as well.
For example, that one level in 4.1 where you fight the big-ass dragon summons another dragon halfway through the fight on higher difficulties.

Penetration is so fucking good, I wish every weapon had it. Over half the shit I use is underleveled but still relevant because of that [PT] 56 x 20 damage

IIRC some enemies get a speed boost on hardest/inferno too.

Tall deroys would walk across the map in a few strides.

Shock Vine one-shots pretty much everything, and has several shots before it reloads, so its good for when you are getting swarmed and/or out of juice.

Show me some Wing Diver action and assction.

I like the beginning civilian armors you got in the first 10 missions more than the ones you get after enlisting, is there no way to switch back to them?

Are you a pirate host or is the game region locked or something? I've not been able to find a single Yea Forums room.

you'll be going from level 5 weapons to like level 15-20 weapons most likely
play some of the earlier missions on hard to get some decent weapons then try continuing on hard

I finally understand Fencer now. In 4.1 I never picked him so when I would attempt to try him out I had already been used to all the late game weaponry of AR and R so he was difficult to enjoy but now starting out with Fencer, he's fucking fun. There's nothing more enjoyable then to stand side by side with a fellow fencer and gun down bugs or to take out mobs of enemies as you bob and weave through the crowds with a spear

Attached: 1364171631503.png (700x700, 30K)

nips are nationalist and xenophobic as fuck and that's a good thing

Hard is normal mode, normal is easy mode so you are missing out on proper weapons by playing on normal

How is the optimization on PC? I wanna get it but I have a i5-3570.

i run decently on a i5-6500 and 1060 6GB

I love how armor pickups go to the other classes you’re not playing as. Weapons leveling up from repeated drops is really cool too.

Cute tank
Cute butt

I have the same, it's fine. it runs at 60 fps until you start leveling entire city blocks, but that's how god intended it to be. If you played 4.1 and it ran well there, it will run well here.

Does the PC have split screen too? I want to play with my little brother.

It has offline co-op, just like 4.1

it's somewhat lesser than the class your playing, class pickup ratio's notwithstanding.
I've been mostly playing ranger (halfway through the game on hard and I still don't have the free bike fffff) and fencers falling behind it in armor despite having a better innate armor box per hitpoint thing going on.
need to figure out the good farm missions.

yup

Can you put the player screens on different monitors?

>forcibly turning off v-sync via nvidia control panel
>instantly doubles my fps
neat

considering that as a port it's pretty much just "put the console game on the computer and slap some keyboard controls on that bitch" I sincerely doubt it.

I didn't play 4.1, but that's fantastic to hear.

Cool. I've never played one of these before but I've been wanting to try thanks anons.

Yeah, it’s still better than nothing though. In EDF 4.1 I played all the classes evenly except Wing Diver, and Wing Diver was severely underpowered compared to everyone else

been playing a lot with my little cousin, splitscreen is a lot of fun

it's still gonna be, they get the least armor from pickups, but you won't be completely screwed at least.

>broke as fuck
>game finally comes outta no where at full price

FUCK

I'm mean it's launching 20% off at least, but, not budget priced like EDF4.1 was.

Never played an EDF game but considering picking this one up. Any tips on how to play/what to play as a first timer?

I like going fast and BIG explosions.

Same here. Not really sure what to do about it.

*but yeah

This is a fun strat but remember Depth Crawlers are made of paper and if you get touched all your turrets will be gone

Fencer is your man but you don't go fast until you get boost parts

One of the things I found when playing through on PS4, was that fencers shield reflect did less damage than in 4.1.
I used to melt spiders and #MotherMonsters just by reflecting their attacks but it doesn't work nearly as well in 5.

How do you use Gatling gun? Both attack buttons activate other guns and I don't see a swap button.

Hold left shift.

Check the controls for the swap button
Fencer has different controls to the other characters

user you have four attack buttons in vehicles.
no idea what it is on keyboard because edf to me is a game to play with a controller slouched halfway down my chair, on a pad try all the shoulder buttons.

i have like sixty bucks in my steam wallet but i'm on the fence about getting this. it's like it sounds really fun, but at the same time it sounds like it takes a good while to really get into the meat of the game, well past a refund point if the initial hours don't grip me

They turned the dash cancel glitch into an actual mechanic now.

Have you played EDF before? Can always just pirate it and see if you think it's fun before you drop the dosh on it

I can't stand playing gunners with a controller. Fencer is perfectly fine, but other characters feel much better with m+kb.

eh to each their own I suppose, the only weapons that require precision usually have a zoom.

I just killed ayy jesus with one. He keeps dashing out of my shotgun range.

I still don't get how Fencers get that infinite aerial time. I have both the dash boost and the jump boost but is there a way to reset so you can boost again while still in the air?

Attached: 1557849180867.png (1378x934, 930K)

Sadly that only works with double spine drivers, a weapon I don't care for aside from sanic mode

Never have, contemplated getting 4.1 during the summer sale but held off in wondering if 5 would come. Lo and behold.

would anyone want to play a total newshit to edf from mission 1

The fuck? giant insects cant fly

Those are monsters, not giant insects

I miss Ohara.

It's a bit of a change, since you feel less like an aerial combat unit and instead you're just a ranger who can hop a bit farther and looks decent in hotpants.

Got the game on pc, only about 5 chapters in. When do we stop being a civilian and enlist in the EDF?

takes forever to join games

You'll typically want one charge and release weapon because most of them hit like a bus, and then one weapon that can hold a charge to fall back on as you recover energy.

In like ten more chapters

like mission 12-14 around there

it's the latter I have trouble with, can't figure out one that doesn't hit like a weak stream of piss.

How important is having boost on both loadouts as Fencer?

PIRATE LOBBY WHERE

Does it in English too

Awesome. Also, are all the Air raider support abilities reload based now or are there still some that use tickets? I remember in 4.1 I can get airstrikes going one after the other if I could cluster them close enough that an airstrike kills enough to fill up my requisition.

I'll play with you, user
