Two more spots, currently doing mission 41.

Except when in the Red Drones mission, they do say that the Drones are too strong and they need to shoot them down one by one. Which is also correct for lots of enemies and situation in EDF5 where you aggro small portion of enemies at a time or face certain death.

Just a fyi, it's faster to roll as a AR. Also gives you some invincibility frames.

Which Fencer side-booster weapons can be fired while also shooting other guns? I feel like a dumbass for not ever giving Jackhammer a second chance.

How long until I get better Fencer Mortars? Like for fucks sake I still only have ones that do like 80 damage each and I remember in 4.1 those things demolishing everything

Full? Can't find the buyfag lobby.

Keep playing, you probably just got bad RNG and it's not worth farming an early mission to get it. They start to do thousands of damage on the Light Mortars, let alone the heavy ones.

theres always one stray bug...

How soon should I start playing online? I just played through the first mission/tutorial with all of the character types.

Japan doesn't have a standing army
It has a defence force, they can't invade places

Just played my first online game. Does it say when you've been kicked, because it just said "You've been disconnected from the room" while I was choosing my weapons for the next mission.

Screenshake can be turned off too.

Ideally right now. Find a room with "Newbies welcome" tag and go wild.

Which option is that? Camera effects? Always afraid to turn it off as there could be other effects it turns off.

It's a stupid question user. Stream whatever the hell you want. No one gives a fuck.

whenever you want desu. the game is definitely more fun in multiplayer and up until 38 the missions aren't that hard.

Is it camera effects to stop it snapping to things?
I'll keep screenshake on, it adds to the fun

not being able to hit shit due to your screen constantly shaking with enemy chunks flying everywhere and lasers blinding you is part of the EDF-experience.

Yep.

I find that you lose in comfiness. I like to take my time to read weapon descriptions shit and comparing them between games and it's fun to pretend the NPCs are your teammates. Plus a lot of games are just people ignoring others and killing stuff on their side of the map so I don't really see how the multiplayer aspect even adds to the experience. Yes it can be more fun with people you know and once you got a good grip of the game but honestly it's probably a better experience to go through a good chunk of the game solo first.

It's easiest to solo them with ranger, surprisingly. His roll is the perfect speed to never get hit by them. The secret is to get up on their ass. If you try to take your distance, you will eat shit as the spray gets wider. At point blank, it does fuck all and you can just roll out of it.

Ranger can snipe just fine
Sure they might come close but by then you can just unload on them with your shotgun

I actually mostly play fencer. I get up on the ass, juke the spray and then jackhammer/shotgun until dead. You don't have to move much when you're ON them, but I'll have to try that shield

Certain squads seem to actually hold their own against the hordes, mostly the grim reapers.

Besides that one, obviously. There are a couple of exceptions but stuff like the Closed Laser weapons just don't cut it, even when you first unlock them and even when upgraded. There's just not much reason to use them.

This.
Wing diver just has the lowest armor req.
You can easily get the cheevo without touching her.
Armor gain rates seem higher overall in EDF5.

>Missiles suck by and large
missles are pretty solid against flying enemies, especially if you grab one with jump boost and one with dash

Do crates eventually stop spawning?

If i Pirated this and played for a bit and then bought it, can I use my save from the pirate?

>Are they dairy farmers?

No.

I don't remember if they stop spawning, or there's a cap on the amount of crates that can be one the map all at once.

Except that is not new information on the first red drone mission. The active and inactive patrol states are already explained in a mission before that

So I'm playing Ranger and I keep hearing you guys saying that shotguns and ARs are great, but I can't fucking stop using that grenade launcher. It always, always seems to outclass any shotgun or AR in literally every regard other than possible self harm - which certainly can be an issue in some levels. Am I missing something or does the difference only become apparent later?

Wasn't some user saying last thread you could?

That specific piece is not new, but this is the first example of purposely aggroing only a small number or probably die. It's teaching you that, using the drone's patrol types as an impetus for the lesson.

I don't believe so. The closest i've seen is if you played with the steamworks fix on your main account then the saves technically SHOULD be tied to your steamID, but I haven't seen anyone actually transfer a save over.

yeah, they are actually rather competent and now that every class can heal them, even more so.

If the pirate version makes a save file in my documents/my games/edf5 then I would assume you can.

yes you can, you just gotta move the save folder from the pirate direction

Shotguns pierce, grenades don't. When you are getting chased by an entire map's worth of bugs you'll understand. They are also better for obliterating red ants or frogs that decide to munch on you.

If you knew what you were doing you could just transfer the save over directly but since you needed to ask at all obviously not.

I pirated the game and bought it later as well. My save somehow transferred itself fine.

at least the thread breaks off after a while.

>Mission 100
>Barga team A gets wiped
>Cant survive long enough to get my own barga dropped because all the angirus motherfuckers bumrush me

even in solo is rather fun.

That's why you aim below and let the grenade launcher's aoe do what piercing does. And I also find that the grenade launcher does better with frogs by doing so much limb damage just by aiming near them.

And either way, it seems like ARs get shafted.

So are there a decent amount of people playing the pirated version here? Is there any risk in using it?

and killing the pill bugs. God, i hate those smug fuckers.

No one in history has ever been banned for using steamworks fixes, but I always play it safe and run pirated multiplayer games on a burner account anyways.

You can be disgustingly mobile, but it kind of relies on getting special equips that give you extra dashes.

>So I can move even faster now?
yes but you need dash cells and add boosters which grant you mutliple dashes and jumps but slower sets are pretty good too. double hand cannons with recoil reduce destroy everything

>because I skipped it all
so do I have to do it all in sequential order? fug

No I went to like level 60~ solo and jumped into a Yea Forums lobby that was close enough

it's a great thing that focusing on one class doesn't stonewall all the others, because each class has their utilities depending on the mission. though I haven't found much practical use for Fencers yet.

Buyfag lobby where?

Fencer completely depends on what gear you have for him.
You need those boost/jump cells and or the shield block cells or just some good mortars to blast everything.

What is the best level, and why is it Iron Wall?

Does the Air Raider really not get Railguns anymore? I've been getting tanks and helicopter drops for him same as Ranger, but I've yet to see a Railgun.

Yeah, for some reason they gave the railguns to Ranger.

Honestly Air Raider doesnt need vehicles anymore, cant call air strikes inside them

Laser ayys are fucking bullshit. Long range? Hitscan? Yeah because fuck you.

mortars aren't really that good. hand cannons and 30mm are way better as they deal much higher DPS

stunlock them

If you're open to pirating anyway then you can refund sekiro and pirate that instead.

Upgrades really throw off what's good or not.
IF you get reload upgrades and damage ups on any mortar it becomes fantastic.
If you get upgrades to hand cannons those are the go to.

Why is sprint so useless and shit, bros?

It's just a spider bro? So what if they're 10 meters big and jump at you, we're practically big puppy dogs.

Because it slows you down if you get hit and you can't convert into jump from it only roll.

only by default, once you get better gear you can become pretty damn fast. it's to be expected since this was the game that added sprinting.

it increases item pick up range, and is an alternative to rolling everywhere like it's hyrule field. also, there are upgrades to sprint speed, end game ones go up and over 400%.

Because it has a charge time for some stupid reason

2/4 lets go recruits!

It's still shit even with better gear, the fact your movement stops and you have to run your feet in a circle like in a cartoon to charge up your speed so you can finally move at a decent pace makes it completely useless in combat. Probe is a ton better.

It just needs gear to be good, just like Fencer boosters.

What the fuck does air raider use for flying enemies? Fucking bees

Better upgrades increase your acceleration by a fuckton so you hit top speed pretty much instantly.

>you have to run your feet in a circle like in a cartoon to charge up your speed so you can finally move at a decent pace

There's gear that fixes exactly that problem.

Those are hornets, actually.

The niggling or three spritefalls

I'm no scientist but I believe they're actually creatures called "birds"

They're birds you retards

let me guess, you got this piece of shit
that's actually a bad piece of gear, that's not 40% on top of your acceleration that's 40% acceleration. as someone put it yesterday it makes you fucking Scooby Doo run in place before you eat shit.

>So that's how we look from the NPCs perspective.

you in yurop?

Nigger I've unlocked all the sprint items for inferno, its still trash because any charge time at all means you are standing still for long enough to get hit by an ant point-blank. The cessation of movement at the beginning of the sprint kills the ability.

get some sprint utilities and it becomes a multifunctional ability

the sprint should be used for travel, not for combat. roll instead of trying to sprint in combat, unless you can sprint from building to building and outrun projectile shots from the side as a result.

Switched from singleplayer to multi, started up a game on your own and got your handed too you? Its quite common... The game does a really bad job to explain it but theres a difficulty multiplier in place for Multiplayer and it gives you the 4 player multiplier if you play solo online.
Below multipliers is in comparison to singleplayer:
For 1 or 4 players: 2.4x enemy damage and 2.64x enemy health.
For 2 or 3 players: 2.0x enemy damage and health.

I use a trainer for that now. When a mission is over I activate the "collect loot" option and it insta-collects everything in the level saving me 10 mins of collecting things and trying to keep that last enemy alive while I do so.

Yeah he has a nice voice. Not a manly voice but a good "young guy who signed up to be a pilot" voice.

Bad mobility and relies on vehicles (don't work on all maps) and a single weapon type (limpets). It's just not versatile or fun enough in most cases.

Destroying the legs merely removes their firepower + extra crates. Go straight for the head if you want to kill it faster.

>literally the least played class in the thread
Support your argument or begone, THOT.

Getting "ahead" of people doesn't really matter since you're much less likely to get gear/armor at the rate the game expects in just one play through of hard. The game wants you to have like 900 armor by mission 40 and I think even after getting to 40 on offline and then going 1-40 with a friend online I had like 700 armor and he had 350.

Because realistically you only need one air raider, his airstrikes and mechs and shit will be fine for up to 4 peoples worth of bugs. Whereas rangers/wingdivers/fencers kind of fall off the higher the difficulty goes unless you have baller gear, so the more the merrier. Plus multiple air raiders makes it all the tougher to properly place effective air strikes.

Basically you only need one air raider. Because air raider is fucking great.

the game expects you to play trough normal first, so of course it assumes you have way more armor than what you get from just going trough hard.

That's if they're trying to play with airstrikes. Triple Gunship Raider has no such problems. Four of them would theoretically be as good as one guy with a Phobos Plan in terms of dealing with large masses except each of them can also delete single tough elites.

Anyone has that webm of ranger sticking c4s on his bike and destroy a UFO with chain explosion of it?

Spritefall is shit and basically you only bring it for fighting flying enemies, which are typically the worst enemies to deal with as AR. Bring a gunship, either rockets or autocannon. Something that reloads super quick. Then bring something like a Cannon B/C, a high cost high damage large area nuke. And finally bring a bomber run, something like Heavy Phobos, something that is mid-low cost (600-1500) that you can use to get rid of lots of ground bugs. Spam your first weapon on basically everything, do bomber runs to give yourself space, and if anything fucking huge shows up or if there is a big bunch of spawning bugs use your cannon. Bring whatever vehicle you like. I usually bring helicopters and exosuits.

The problem is, because of their levels you can't use them in anything except the difficulties you get them from because of weapon limits. one is level 6, one is level 45, and the last is level 78. Which locks them to hard, hardest, and inferno respectively.

Dumb Storm 4 sluts having to be rescued.

Limpets basically exist to shoot flying enemies and really shouldn't be brought, ever. Especially now that gunship strikes are on short cooldowns and automatically reload.

it doesn't expect shit from you. it's an upper limit intended for when you go back to older missions just like the weapon level limit and you can do a single fresh hard run just fine if you strategize

Limpet snipers are great.

>how2fix CC strikers from being shit
Just give them more damage and no ammo limits lmoa

The highest level Force Axe with attacks only doing comparable damage to a Galleon of roughly the same level unless fully charged is really damned pathetic. Do they penetrate targets? It sure doesn't say PT. Even if it did I wouldn't want to spend seconds charging up for a measly ~3000 damage tied to a really slow attack animation.

Hammers and rollers are even worse, missing ants right in between their feet. Even after so many years Sandlot is still terrible at balancing.

Limpet Snipers are alright at best and still generally inferior to a 150mm Cannon at anything but extreme ranges.

>there are retards in this thread that don't understand how fucking good Limpet Snipers are
Fucking summerfags. if this is the average skill level of an Air Raider main, we deserve to be contained in /vg/

honestly there really is no point in Fencers still having the sluggish aiming, either. it's already hard enough to target and attack shit with finicky weapons and sluggish movement without dash spam, making it so you're unable to hit the broadside of a barn unless you stand still or point-blank basically makes the Fencers incredibly specific in their usage and highly impractical unless you master them for the real big dick damage

I use my cannons to shoot flying enemies regardless and deal with survivors using AA-type Nyxes. The only surface enemies the gunship can't shoot down are teleport ships and the walking outpost.

When firing weapons that slow down your aim but don't actually have a lot of recoil (ie gatling guns), the Exoskeleton upgrades with rotational speed boosts are the ones you want. Muzzle stabilizers only decrease the viewkick from powerful per-shot recoil like cannons or flame revolvers. A high tier exo will reduce the effect to zero so gatling guns could be fairly viable companions to the melee weapon even on the move.

I equipped an exoskeleton after 90 missions of not using it and it honestly felt worse than the smooth waves of twin Gallic.

Ya know, Fencer is literally supposed to be the advanced class that you have to truly master to unleash its true potential. Says it right there on the class description. There is no "unless", you genuinely should be mastering them.

wtf??? How are you so based?

Wow 39 looked really fucking intimidating going in but was surprisingly easy.
I guess I got lucky and picked the right loadout first go.

fair enough, but with mastery comes the necessity for gear, which means playing through most of the game and getting the better shit to more properly master them with. I can't even imagine playing previous games where getting Fencer gear involved having to start the game from practically scratch, though their dash cancelling probably helped with that.

>making it so you're unable to hit the broadside of a barn unless you stand still or point-blank

Name one advantage over a 150mm other than cave use.

>no ammo limits
just reload before emptying the mag. that way you get to keep the charge

>dlc
But it's not out?

150mm cannon does like 800 damage and takes 7 seconds to reload. Limpet Sniper does 700+x3 and reloads in 4.

The Lapis cannons are truly ridiculous. The best Limpet Sniper will do 5000 damage per shot, 1.7 shots a second, with 3 shots per mag and 3 seconds per reload. And then you only start loading after all bombs have finished exploding.

Meanwhile in Gunshipland the best Lapis cannon will hit for 2300 at a rate of 3.5 a second, 20 shots with a 4.6 second downtime, which is just about enough to switch to your autocannon / consecutive cannon beacon and throw it out, then back to using the Lapis. The delay from setting the beacon to shell impact is a complete non-factor.

The cannon has 6+ shots so by your account it does more damage and fires almost twice as much

Yeah but what if you're surrounded by enemies and need to shoot more than one target

if you let enemies surround you then you already did a shit job as AR

You have 6 shots to shoot 6 targets instead of 3 for three but you wouldn't be using only the limpet or cannon and the cannon reloads in the background making it even better

If youre surrounded as AR you're already in deep shit

You're confusing the consecutive cannon for the single target cannon. That's 6 individual beacons. If friendly fire and/or flying targets are a serious concern then the Eliminate shotgun cannons are ideal as they have an even shorter reload than the standard 150mm.
