EDF

if there are piratefags here I am willing to start a room

I just reached this mission for the first time and got my ass kicked.

Is there a hack for EDF5? I just played a few levels with this guy and the armor and weapon drops were vanishing right in front of me. The guy was not even near the stuff. I picked up like 3 armor or someshit in 4 levels we played.

was he a ranger

>backtracking from insect scum
>suddenly ass right in my face

Its likely just lag.

Was the other guy a Ranger?
Rangers can equip items that increase the item acquisition range

Have they fixed mouse input yet?

If anyone else is using G-Sync and getting massive stuttering try turning it off, it's been smooth as butter for me ever since.

Dunno. I play on PS4.

Because somebody's gotta give Fencers the attack powerups

Yes he was a ranger. How much of an range increase are we talking about? This guy was picking up stuff from like 3-4 fencer boost away.

what weapons do i use to make fencers fun. I just started so i'm trying out all the classes and i'm only on mission 28 or so. Fencers are just so fucking slow and the melee weapons i have for them are ass

My Wingdiver had a long day.

There's one that increases it by 1000%
And I'm pretty sure that it also increases when Rangers are sprinting

Sprint only increases pickup range if you don't have a pickup item equipped.

I wish we had the explosions from Squad

Ah, okay. I've only played solo so far, so I'm not really experienced with its effects

is it just depression? have I grown out of vidya? is it jsut because I'm playing ranger?

Low level Fencer is garbage. Once you get 3 dashes + 1 boost, then you can fly all around the map. Jackhammer/shotgun combo is OP.

You need to use a combination of dash forward and dash up weapons and use those. You can get more dashes from equipment.

Once you put that together you can get around very quickly.

Two more months before I can join in. I´m a poorfag.

Anyone have the list of weapons and which mission to get them?

Probably. Try air raider. They got a gigantic set of buffs and are much more solo friendly. Air strikes work on a reload now, and also reload while not equipped, and also are 10times easier to aim now that they added a new God's eye view for air raids

Oh hello there

Shame you can't equip 2 of them and keep swapping.

So let me get this straight
Rangers are air raiders without combat ability who specialize in picking up items and supplying back up vehicles
Wing divers are air raiders that specialize in getting killed by frogs
And fencers are air raiders that specialize in getting caught in my airstrikes

the early mission suck major assssss
it gets way more fun when you encounter the frogs which is the hector replacement for this game

>timestamps

woooooooow

Why are helicopters so trash?

Later missions give you higher level weapons. You can use those weapons in SP since there's no level limit.

No. There is a range for each mission and each difficulty.

Because it's EDF. The later ones do get better, though you're better off calling in Nixes.

Very upset

Best AFK armor farm is Mission 4 on DLC 1, but I dunno if that's out on PC yet. You can AFK farm mission 39 offline with the right set up.

First of, drops are shared.
Second, Rangers can get items to increase their pickup radius by a ton.
Third, could have been descync.

both anons posted a thing with reference to virgin/chad meme. they both have the exact same timestamp.

Why does online give you worse weapon level than offline?

nice im tired of faggots

They are generally the same. It's only different because the mission numbers are different in offline and online modes.

Yes

So in EDF 5, are the four balanced this time around or are their clear winners and losers again?

You should disable the integrated graphics in your BIOS.

No.

first time I encountered that I was air raider and just went Dukes of Hazard with that Melter Tank since it was fast. took out the shield but I didnt make it out alive.

Then I learned about the Fencer...

Single digit fps is the way edf was meant to be played, 60 fps is soulless

Ranger is the clear loser. The other 3 can hold their own.

I miss my friend

i'll just use my racing wheel then

So what's different? Better graphics?

It's running off my 1070 now, but it's running worse on my 1070 than when it was running off integrated

are there any lobbies doing missions in the 20-40 range

First EDF game I've played, how am I suppose to loot as an air raider? All the vehicles are super slow and squishy.

QoL improvements, new weapons and gear, a bunch of missions

Did you check CPU and GPU usage?

Wait till everything's cleared out then loot
Or play online and just let your teammates do it

>Wing Diver is still shit tier

Looks like someone lacks energy management skills.

Were threads more active when it released on PS4?

From 4.1 to 5? Art style, new weapons, gameplay improvements (rangers and wing divers get new movement options), new enemies

fencer isnt as annoying to play as but also cant go as fast without late game gear

Try borderless fullscreen or windowed. D3/Sandlot had a similar issue at launch for 4.1

>if I use online crack I can't transfer save file when I buy the game
>if I use offline crack I can transfer save
fuck this I'll be patient since I'll buy the game tomorrow

Once you get a decent blacker or grape you fly across the map and it’s way safer than being on foot

lmfao wtf? Fencer was never good. The nerfs to WD and buffs to fencer are in relation to just how busted the WD was in 4.1. She was never that broken in other games they had her.

inb4 FENCER WAS GOOD WITH CANCELLING ANIMATIONS. Even then... no.

Fencer is better at maneuvering and kiting, Air Raider is better at clearing out hordes, and Ranger can do whatever
Only thing Wing Diver has going for it is high damage bursts which don't count for much

If you do humble monthly, the humble store has it for even cheaper. Instead of the 20% it is 32% off.

Jesus Christ these giants are kicking my shit in.

I'll main Wing Diver until the day I die

But Wing Diver has the best damage

Attached: 1562542622153.jpg (1920x1080, 860K)

Which ones?

No. Even with the severe downgrade she is still the best. Did you even play any of these games?

Just got to the frogs, did the first mission as ranger as I was worried. Got an IFV drop for air raider, roll up, blast the legs off and go to town on the body with the howitzer. All else fails call in 105mm spam attacks

The human looking ones, they're damn vicious.

Anything Ranger can do Wing Diver can do better.

Wing Divers cant clear waves or kite as well, but they can murder major targets faster than anyone.

Nigga Wing Diver got buffed for 5
She was in the trash can for anything but ironically cave missions

>high damage bursts which don't count for much

Don't mind me while I one-shot the Colonists and Cosmonauts. Oh and don't worry about that Anchor. I'll blow it up in a couple of seconds.

Any of you piratefags wanna play or am I playing with randoms this time

Thank god the vast majority of the game isn't about killing huge hoards of enemies while kiting

God damn the new dodge for Wing Diver is so fucking handy.

Hey I just started. How the fuck to I find games? to I have to finsih the tutorial missions or something? Im about to start mission 3

To reduce weight

Armor weights them down. I kinda wish they would throw in old outfits.

Attached: 1547671959800.png (1487x1996, 1.11M)

Final mission on easy is actually decent for farming armor.

This, the only real "nerf" is the addition of cores to the gameplay. Even then, some of the mid-late game cores are break the game even harder than before the nerfs.

You try getting those rear ends in the air and keep them there. Any heavier and they could one-shot some of the larger bipedials from landing on them, Wing-Divers are too OP.

How is ranger a loser? He strictly gained. Before the only thing he was good for was....nothing?
He is now a versatile weapon user that also is extremely mobile and can summon some helpful vehicles.

If you're on the fence just pirate it to try before you buy. It's a barebones port that doesn't even have graphic settings. It runs snooth on my rig though.

60 FPS cap and no widescreen.

WDs are only good for celebratory gang-bangs.

What's your rig? I'm still running a 970 and I5 so I doubt it'll run smoothly.

Fast shooty weapon with pointy stick, double big shooty weapon on second set

i5 2500k + HD 7950

Generally you'll want to use a shotgun and melee weapon (usually a blasthole spear for piercing) while zipping around using the biggest jump and dash cores you can equip
For your second loadout use whatever the mission calls for, generally having long range weapons is good here so you can deal with dropships or pylons

I've always wondered why there was no AR division.

So confirmed that MC is air raider right?

It's basically tradition at this point for the 'elite' Wing divers to be total jobbers, it was the same in 4.1 as well with Pale Wing always getting their shit pushed in.

Edf 4 is 5 dollars on gamivo for the complete edition, play that then 5 so if you feel like shooting ants isn't fun you wouldn't have wasted 40 dollars

Why don't you do that and post your webm user :^)

It's bait to filter out people that shouldn't be playing air raider. Guns are for lesser classes.

Does anyone have any tips for mission 20?(19 in multiplayer) it's the crimson mission from 4, with the beach and the red ants attacking from the beach, i always die at the last wave. Playing ranger on hard, this is for my solo campaign.

They were my goto for solo Air Raider in 4.1, but the gunships that reload in the background make them pretty pointless in 5. They do come in handy underground, though.

Wing Divers will get a chance to shine one day

Play Fencer lol

Kill the 10 ants or spiders that surround you as Air Raider because absolutely no one else is willing to hold the front line and distract the enemies

Shoot ants

Max level limpet snipers do obscene damage.

Crimsons can't touch helicopters.

Free bike

Can you unlock a heli for ranger before mission 20?
Only have a low level version, is there a mission that drops a high level one?
No, solo ranger only.

Git gud

Shotguns pierce now so just like shoot them

Lol, that's what i told your mom last night too

Try to save as many fencers and Nyx on wave 2 and make sure you grab the WD squad when they retreat to the beach. Double up on shotguns or penetrating weapons. On the last wave, try to fight the side furthest away from the main mountain, as having more npcs alive means more diversions and more firepower.

Missions with shield dudes or underground

Really?

I still prefer 4.1 over 5. 5 has a lot of neat improvements, but I really liked the mission design in 4.1 as well as the general atmosphere.
And they're really damn close together in quality anyway.

The lowest level heli is lvl 11. It should drop from mission 16 and up on hard.

Air raider is the only new design I don't like the armor was cooler in the last one and the helmet looks dumb. Can't wait to beat the game so I can keep the mechanic outfit on all the time.

Is he right?

Kinda feeling the same.
Maybe I'm just not into EDF as much as I always thought.

I put 160hrs before I got burt out with 4.1 but right now I'm at mission 10 on 5 and it feels like the last time I played 4.1 and decided to stop.

At least I gave the devs some money to make great games.

>so I can keep the mechanic outfit on all the time

Make it orange and you get to be Dale Gribble.

This, shotguns are amazing now close combat with Ranger is a good time

Yes, the new one is complete garbage compared to 4's.

They are the only consistent meterless damage that can be done vs dropships for the AR without guided missile or rigged explosive shenanigans.

Yeah fuck the new song. It has some funny lyrics though.

I miss attack gunship Whale and Satellite Nothung's operator from 4.1, but the new air raider support staff are still pretty cool.

Is there any way to get back the civilian-based dialog for the air raider calls?

He makes a compelling argument.

Have a lot of the vehicles for air raider been cut that were in 4.1? I remember there being a wide variety of tanks/mechs to choose from that were more than just color/gun changes. So far I've only seen the same looking mech but different color/weapons and same with the tanks. Please tell me there's more.

Gotta up the difficulty bro. Normal's range for weapon drops is like, 1-25.

What should I equip in the Ranger's support slot, vehicles, faster dashing, or bigger item collect area?

Double blood storms on the fencer with another weapon set that lets you move around is really powerful. Trick is to keep distance from the enemy

What does wing diver pussy smell like?

Gigantus and Balam have a different name, every helicopter but bazelart and railguns got given to ranger and vegaltas are now nyx
Aside from that theyre all in

I just go with faster dashing since I like playing ranger at the front lines and there a weapon is better than vehicles

On lower difficulties or not as enemy or flyer dense levels, under assists are pretty good too. Without the speed upgrades, ranger just gets destroyed from hardest and beyond due to the scaling enemy speed and aggression. To really get the most out of using the ranger's more niche tools, you really need to be in multiplayer and have less stuff aggroing you.

The last 20 or so levels are pretty solid, barring one dumb setpiece stage. There are a few good "shit test" levels that require good execution and planning in the middle. Also, on hardest and inferno, there are additional spawns/waves that change the feel of a lot of levels. Hard and below doesn't really do the game justice.

I really like that one guy from mission 15 with the horrible Boston accent

Its called Barga now, functions identical to Balam except for having a high damage attack after the taunt function.

It also looks like shit.

They're kept in cages away from the guys until they are needed in the battlefield

How does that work?

why are all of the early game weapons so shit?

Barga was meant to be a heavy loader and construction equipment given that this EDF has never faced Ayys before thus had never considered or made half the shit that they had at the very beginning of 4 like a mobile fortress. It took them 5 months just to learn how to shoot down the the transports and a few more months after that just for grindbusters. At the beginning of 4 they were able to blow up 2 motherships as they were coming out of orbit. This edf is woefully unprepared for the Primers.

I know man but it still looks like crap, the new mechs look better than Vegaltas at least.

Also still mad we never get to see the X4. Apparently it was just a bigger version of Balam but man would of been cool to fight beside it. Kinda like an opposite scenario of fighting a Mothership.

Shoot the legs so they can't run. Also, head shots deal double damage. Hide in alleys and take them on one at a time.

Wing Drivers are the best class in 4.1 because they have better survivability/ speed than fencers and better weapons than Rangers.

Absolutely wrong
Fencer's ability to kite is far better than Wing Divers
Better weapons than Ranger is true in 4.1 but not 5 after shotguns were given piercing

Goes through multiple enemies. You still need to knock the armor off first. But you can use the corpses as shields and just shoot right through them with a [PT] weapon. That's an Inferno strat to remember.

Yes
Sargent will never stop fighting to get you there, even if he has to make a safe place himself

Depending on your play style, try to burst them down one by one close up with a solid series of attacks center mass or head with a really powerful weapon or high rof to stunlock before it rolls away. You can also try picking them off with long range weapons, since their weapons are easier to dodge at long range Keep in mind that the ayys move faster the less armor they have on. Their helmet doesn't add as much speed as the rest of their armor. If you don't keep up with reducing their numbers at a good pace, they'll surround and outgun you.

Pale Wing is the best skin for Wing Divers. It's a fucking shame we don't get a costume for it in the very least.

Distance falloff

I know about the stupid dash canceling that destroys your fingers and requires you face the direction you want to go. It's still slower and less intuitive than glide hopping with the WD.

i did it with rifle+shotgun

That's damage fall-off. Point-blank deals 90.5 damage. At 260m, it's only 9 damage.

Hard has the best over all balance of difficulty to weapon and armor drops. You're just bad.

I'm so glad Not-Vegaltas finally show up as ally vehicles, they were always gigantus in 4.1 and those sucked against almost everything

When you see the ground light up red, that means it's time to gtfo.

you can transfer the save file with the steamworks fix. The CODEX crack is what is preventing it, because it sets a random steam ID and the save is tied to that.

>fly on to buildings

Can't you just cope with the fact your shitty waifu class is garbage already
The only reason to pick them is that their weapons were hilariously overturned in 4.1

Sorry tablet posting and drunk

watch the fucking radar and stop getting stuck in massive clusters

Drone progression in this game is backwards. The smaller drones especially in red form are way bigger dickheads than the ones that come later in the game and the red version of those ones are pretty much just 100% loot pinatas.

Get weapons that can dash forward and boost up then just dash forward and immediately after boost to gain tremendous speed

>mission 38
This is my ultimate dream scenario I've always wanted to experience in a video game. And I can't believe it was an insect extermination game that fulfilled it. God bless EDF.

Imperial Drones get nasty in big swarms. They also shoot way longer than the little drones.

>do sustained boosts.
And then you can't shoot for shit
What's great about Fencer is that they can go faster and still do a fuckload of damage

Can buyfag join pirate servers or they are restricted to buyfag server just like how pirates are restricted to pirate server?

Pirated has multiplayer.

27$ at Hrkgame has anyone brought off here?

Anyone capable of moving must fight!

When do I get more than one extra dash? I've had 3 jumps for awhile on hard but at mission 40 I still only have the 2 dashes.

Are you a sniper? If not, go down there. Only room for 1.

The free bike is hilarious, it still sucks to drive like it did in 4.1 but at least the ragdoll is funny.

For some reason. I believe that wing divers are much more aggressive then regular women. On the battlefield and in pursuit of a man

2x Blood Storm or High Altitude Missiles, replace with other shit if you need

I can kill drop ships by boosting and M2 + Mortar. If they're HIGH up, you could go something else but we're not super great at dropships anyways.

I use 3 boost gear + 2 boost gear, will replace with the best versions as I go.

Can't say I'm not ultra tempted in some missions since I'm playing Ranger. Stopping at a mission I have to spend a few hours retrying is pain.

Its because this is an alternate universe and the first war the EDF takes part in. The probs thought that the worst think they would fight was a big tank or something.

they did this too in 4.1

Are any of the air raider special weapons good?

Instant lock on and dash boosting

It's literally a construction crane

great fucking game, but the first mission is so bad. it might turn people off. the last game was straight into the action. i love sandlot and i don't think they can afford to do this. they need to grab and hook players right from the start. mission 1 is a literal TLoU mandatory walking-and-talking sequence with bursts of small gameplay -- or was this their strategy to get cinematic players into the game with just the first mission? there is a lot of explaining and stuff they do

but more seriously -- PC GOTY again

I had the same thought. First level last time was a good intro, this time it’s two slogs in a row.

Why do I think that is brittany venti

The 4.1 mod gives him a laser kit.

So is the fencer improved? I liked him in 4 but he was too clunky in the later missions, while doing less damage then my coop partner as a wing diver.

Every PC game ever made has hacks.

If I play the first 20 missions or so as one class then decide to change it up will the other classes be just as strong and leveled even though I haven't played them?

>that first erginus battle that takes like 20 minutes
to finish
why do they do this every time? Looking at the thing jumping around is fun for like 3 minutes but then it gets really stale fast.

yes, he dashing exploit was removed and replace with a much better dashing mechanic. So you can faster and higher than you could in 4.1, and not be locked into weapons that force you to dash cancel.
going fast is a high level thing though so you will be a slow boy for early game

Just air raid him lol

You collect weapons and armor for all classes regardless of which one you play

I was starting to think my game was bugged, it took so fucking long.

>jp voices
why would you do this

Nereids have the camera looking downward.

>wanting to understand what's happening

Yeah, but armor and weapons are not evenly split between all the classes. Your ranger might get 10, wing diver 3, Air Raider 5, and Fencer 7. Stuff like that. Depends on how much stuff you pick up per mission.

But that isn't affected by whether I play the class or not right?

>distant enemies have 1 fps animations
is this dark souls 2?

Three fencers with double levanthian and one guy with a laser kit

Are Rangers and Air Raiders doomguys?
They can literally roll faster than a moving vehicle and they can move/destroy building rubble and buses by rolling into it

Nah

The class you are playing gets more weapons and armor, all the other classes get a fraction of it

It's either that or 10 enemies max

Wing diver and fencer need more and less armor boxes per HP respectively, too.

first run-in with them is a couple waves of like 6 clusters from different directions all centering on you.
