I wish I could play EDF 5. But 4.1 is still a hell of a game

i don't see the room

should i just make a room?

user, he said it's a pirate lobby

I guess I should have asked if buyfags can see pirate lobbies.

As said, buyfags and piratefags don't have the same lobbies. Please join.

Good weapon setups for fencer?

I'm using a AutomaticShotgun+BlastholeSpear // Heavy mortar x2
The spear is so slow I get fucked by frogs before I can get the second shot off, I've tried using a Spine Driver but it barely staggers frogs and locks me out of shooting the shotgun on top of dealing less damage.
The heavy mortar set rapes enemy clusters and frogs but can be a bitch to aim if I'm being focused by mobs

I also have the piercing shotgun but I don't like how it locks me in a stagger animation for half a second after shooting

I have the same loadout, except I equip a big dick gallic to blast off things instead of one mortar. It's fine so far.

No, now make a room.

I use Shotgun + Flashing Spear (Most people swear by the Jackhammer but I like the Flashing Spear okay?) with the second slots being pretty much flex for whatever a mission needs. I really like bringing double gatlings if I need nothing specific though.

I heard you can swap outfits? Was I lied to?

>Hardest n Inferno not unlocked from the start
YIKES

good, keeps the shitters out. now do the game on hard.

After beating the game once.

Is it only for singleplayer? The outfit swap, I mean.

Fencer bros, I can't decide
Do I run tried and true Dexter shotgun plus Jackhammer machine gun fist for face melting dakka
or do I run NCSS Cannon Shot plus Twin Spear for ultimate fuck you big dick piercing shotty with bonus piercing dash cancel spear?
The first one seems better, but the second one FEELS so fucking awesome
But it's not like the first one feels like shit either, being able to hold both down and melt ayys is godlike too
I wish I didn't have to choose, but they're too redundant and most missions really want you to have long range on swap

somebody open a good boi lobby

just bee yourself

what mission? I'm on 100

No, its for multiplayer as well.

Beating it in singleplayer unlocks it for multiplayer as well
I'm going through the game again as a security guard and construction worker

>Gatlings
Do they get better after stacking a few upgrades? Fuck they probably do since every fucking weapon for fencer needs a ton of upgrades to be usable.
My gatlings shoot at the corner of my screen for tickle damage and take a couple seconds to start shooting

What is the gallic good for? I haven't tried it yet since I rather use a shotgun on my main setup and AoE shit on my second

>full upgraded UT1

then let's play mission 101 together user the EDF doesn't deploy someone alone

Dinner driver pairs will with dispersal mortar since it has such a huge range. You can basically snipe stuff while waiting for the mortar to reload.

Gallic is the sniper gun, you use it for pylons, teleporters, frogs, ayys, drones, corridor control, pretty much anything where you can get away with standing still at 9000 meters away

t. not the same guy

How do you twin spear? I haven't tried it much since my blastspear deals more damage but the forward push seems like a bad odea since it can put you in a bad spot and make you miss

>Dinner driver
what

*Spine driver
Fucking mobile

Dexter+Hammer on main every mission, it's never not good
Swap is flex but I usually run jump boost gun + Mortar or Gallic

alright, room is up
Yea Forumsdf
mission 100 hard
pw rage
let's kill some green ants

so what are your 3 top missions for 5?

You use it for the push, it is extra mobility on a separate cooldown from dash and jump. It also makes you go faster than fast. Also, way faster swing speed than regular blast hole. The main weakness is low range.

oof this seems like a bit much for me now that I'm here looking at armor values

Does it have boost?
I could pair it up with my heavy mortar to cancel its recoil

The Hammers/Swords I've found are gimped as fuck, 3-4 second charge for a 400damage attack is garbage.
Are you using the melee hammer or something?

>way faster swing speed than regular blast hole
I'll give it another try after a few upgrades since mine is slower than the single shot one on top of dealing less damage

Why does everyone lose their shit about the startdust canon?
I just got one and its one big shotgun shot with 0 accuracy and it doesn't even deal that much damage point blank.

Does it only start to shine after upgrading?

>Tfw got stuck on mission 102 for like 90 minutes even though it was only on hard
That mission was more anti Air Raider than glittering darkness or whatever those awful levels with the underground spawners are. When I stopped trying to have Phobos bomb through the bubbles or pick off everything with an Eros and just walked through the level with a Mech like a ranger would, it was so easy that even some of my soldiers survived.

Gallic has zoom and pierce
Meant Jackhammer, don't use the actual hammer

Any lobbies?

I cant seem to access the gestures/voice lines menu. Hitting T opens the chat but I cant click behind it for the lines/gestures/etc. Can I rebind this or am I retarded?

Whats the best inferno weapon farm for Air Raider? The waterfall rock trick doesnt work since he cant kill the enemies fast enough, enemies somehow clip inside the rock and kill me

He does probably mean Jackhammer, which is a legitimately good weapon for pure DPS.

3 slots available on the pirate lobby.

...

You have to get the later level ones that have better accuracy. Every weapon in this game needs upgrades or they're useless. A zero star might as well not exist in your inventory.

lads, what are my friend and I doing wrong? we can't beat the first mission with the UFOs/drones on hard or normal. there's just so many of them. even when we had two randoms join us it was no good. I'm playing wing diver he's playing air raider

they're shit anyway since hand cannons and gallic cannons fulfull the job of long ranged, high damage projectiles while also boasting a higher DPS rate and no danger of suicide

just stay mobile. The WD in particular should have no issues against drones since he can spam dashes

Tell air raider to get off his ass and use life vendors and defense posts

Are suppress guns good for the air raider? I feel the range is really fucked on it to be worth taking.

ahaha
Of course not

spark vine v3/6 if you have it
1-2 hits kills a drone and it has a mag for longer flying
if he bought it tell your buddy to use the dlc nix - the twin machine guns just delete any ufos in range

What about the roombas?

cmon, those are joke weapons

if this is my first edf game, should i go through single player first or just jump in and get reamed in multiplayer?

79 is correct so it's probably fine.

play first 2 missions to get a feel, then straight online

Progression is split between the two. I'd just jump into online. Ride the wave as long as you can.

How can you not take the totally threatening beetle bombs seriously?

Does Insect Armageddon tie into the 4.1 storyline in any way?

as a Fencer you want to have at least one set that allows you to be as mobile as possible.
This usually means that you want one weapon that gives you dashes and one that gives you boost jumps. Now if you want to move fast you just dash and jump right after
Additionally you want to have either get a dash cell and add booster (or the later item that combines both) for multiple dashjumps.
Common sets consits of CC Striker/Piercer + Autocannon or Missles.
Your second set on the other hand can be whatever the fuck you want. My personal favorite are double hand cannons combined with the recoil reduce item (though you will need the dash+jump item and thus will have to sacrifice a bit of mobility) since they lay down insane damage at a high firerate capable of stunlocking pretty much everything to death.
And I'd recommend to try out the Vulcan Hammer once you get it. It deals insane damage and gives you hyper armor, making it a great for nuking hordes or single humanoid targets

Mission 67
2slot

GET IN THE ROOM FGTS WE NEED 2

Lances have enough range once you realize you don't actually need to get up in an enemy's face, especially with Dragoon lances which already have overkill levels of damage per shot. Just standing on the ground and spamming it at Ranger shotgun-like distances works fine for taking down hard targets, assuming you at least have a bit of cover. And then of course they can be used for flyby assassinations the "usual" way. Low energy cost and high base damage means half-charging them is perfectly viable for dealing with massed enemies.

Laser guns are given too much shit, yes. If one can accept that its magazine ends at about the halfway point then its actually a really powerful weapon type and one of the few that come with their own batteries.

Sounds awesome but what EDF stands for? please tell me! It looks like the thing the cool kids do!

Earth defense force

I've only recieved some chip damage from those guys. The moment I see them, I get best friend, D E TWO ZERO TWO to shred them with minigun and or autocannon. It can keep frogs/ayys stunned and decimate them.
Earth defense force, we stand to protect the civilians and get them to a safe place.

Stunlock them with AR's Gatling gun while the rest of the team nukes it.

There's 4 of them showing up at the same time in mission 94.

DE-202 is lame and has no personality. Whale was way better. He flew into a swarm of drones to provide covering fire.

The low cost is to offset the fact that tunnel enemies are usually low value insects that would otherwise make it impossible to use the Crawlers.

Depth crawlers have dual flamethrowers or twin burst cannons with high penetration, they're good for hoards underground since they cut right through them.

They also have low durability and eat up their ammo mad fast

>Heavy mortar x2
use double hand cannons + muzzle stabilizer (and multi-charger) instead. Deals higher DPS, won't kill you and can even stunlock ayys
>The spear is so slow I get fucked by frogs before I can get the second shot off
I swear on the Vulcan Hammer. 2.4 k dmg with instant leg delimb on frogs (where you can finish them off with a couple dexter shots) and hyper armor. Don't use it on ayys though unless their legs are exposed.
It's also really good for jumping into a crowd of critters and nuking them. The hyper armor you get ensures that you can easily tank any damage

Fencer is already ironman with enough dash cells and add boosters

with the inclusion of piratefag and buyfag, can we implement ps4fag as well? I also want to have fun.

What's your idea of a fun game? Just curious.

Is there a easy way to edit armor values, my coop buddy doesn't have the time to farm armor boxes and he would really like the ability to use all the classes instead of limiting himself to only one.

Will I get kicked if I use turbo? I think using pad balances it out.

Needs 2 more for Mission 2

Use cheat engine. Google "cheat engine edf 5". Go to the very first link, but switch to about page 7. There's a cheat table there that can let you set the exact amount of crates you get after a mission. Instead of using the crate pickup radius edit, just use this to give you a fixed amount (halved if you fail or just quit a mission).

You early in Hard? I had trouble then too. Only real option is to outrange them with the mortars until your spear gets faster. If you can catch them one by one the Dexter should stunlock them to death, and once you get a hang of it you can finish them with a spear combo and boost away before you get shit on by the rest of the frogs.
For real though mortars and cannons are great against frogs, just blast their legs off and shoot them in the head.

Can I get a rundown on how to get in pirate lobbies?

They still can join if someone make a room though.

I may not remember it correctly, but this should not happen in 5 since they fixed it on console. If you complete inferno on a class, you complete the lesser difficulties too with that class. But for some reason the DLC does not have the same system so you have to replay over and over again.

Lance or rapier, unlike other characters you can fly right up and perch on them and shoot them point blank. If you prefer to stay away then plasma is fine.

Shotgun is nice because you don't have to worry about blowing yourself up in those oh-shit moments and is better against air enemies, but if you're a good shot you can still hit a lot of the air enemies with a light mortar since most of them come down close to the ground.

>he wants to give air raider the same armor
That's retarded. Tell him he's stupid. Air raider should have less armor than Wing Diver.

oh, that would make sense. I'm in Australia and the non-English lobbies are all Chinese. No Yea Forumsdf in sight

Armor boxes for air raider are 1:1 just like ranger, right?

make a lobby user and i will join

she's using big core

AR/WD: Apparently AC-130s also did forward air control stuff too, so its kinda like that.
Imagine jumping in, dropping a smoke grenade to mark for air strike, then jumping out.
Also imagine heading to the tallest possible building and calling in air strikes from it.

No because he has goddamn tanks and the longest effective, optimal range in the game.

Is this EDF5 or what? Isn't that basically already how it works?

>Air raider should have less armor than Wing Diver
No.

That is a wing diver from post game, her new job is to repopulate earth

>muzzle stabilizer
I haven't gotten a multicharger to drop yet and dunno how the balance is late game but right now I wouldn't give up 1 boost+dash for anything in the world (I'm at +2 btw).
I've used the hand cannons to rape kaijus since even with the crazy recoil I can hit most of my shots anyway

That doesn't really answer my question, i was the one that suggested it because i thought that ranger and air raider both have 1:1 armor gain from boxes.

Somewhat, other classes do fall behind if you only play ranger for example. In my opinion they should just make the armor gain universal, armor grinding is retarded time waste shit.

What? I'm pretty sure armor gain is universal based on predetermined ratios.
Its only weapon gain which is biased towards your currently played class.

You get less armour for classes you're not playing
So picking up an armour box as Wing Diver counts as 0.23 Wing Diver armour but picking it up as Ranger only counts as 0.10 Wing Diver armour or whatever
Those numbers aren't exact but that is how it works

Anyone else here that can comment on this? I'm pretty sure it's not the case but could be wrong. I'll try and do some tests when i get home.

I think you are maybe missing the point, if for example i start a new save, and only play ranger on it, i'll still get armor for fencer/wd/ar, but do they get the same amount of armor if you never play them in comparison to only playing one of the other classes?

What, you mean if you only play Ranger and Air Raider will Wing Diver still get the same armour gain regardless? Yes, it will

>see a wing diver with an energy shotgun annihilate teleport ships
What weapon was that?
I want it, after I farm some armour for WD first.

Stardust Cannon?

I'd just settle for NPC able to enter vehicles
Or just NPC vehicles being fully crewed, that works too

The achievements shed some light on the ratios.

No, if for example i play mission 5 as ranger, and pick up 5 armor boxes, i'll get 5 extra armor on mission 6. If the armor gain was universal, wd would get 2.5 and fencer would get 10. But on my current save, my ranger has a higher armor value compared to fencer, so the armor gain is spread, but not universal. I'm dyslectic as fuck and english isn't my first language so maybe i'm wording my posts a bit shitty.

shotgun as in close range weapon or a million plasma bullets flying around?
They have a few great close range weapon but only one actual shotgun, Stardust cannon

He was shooting from almost ground level, so I assume it's the cannon.
I don't have one and now I need it in my life.

I'm just not sure what you mean by 'universal' exactly, can you rephrase it?
Armour isn't a 1-to-1 conversion, even Ranger doesn't get 1 armour for every box he picks up - It's a fraction for everybody, so iirc Ranger gets close to 0.50 armour per box so he should be getting a point of armour every two or three boxes
Every class also gains armour at a different rate; Wing Diver gains it the slowest while Fencer and Ranger gain it the fastest
You get more armour from boxes for the class you're actively playing, but some classes still gain armour faster than others
Does any of that help?

It’s really good. It fires like 60 pellets and each do a lot of damage.

I think Ranger and Air Raider have the same ratios. At least the achievements for both are 1000 armor.

God why is ranger so fun?
Is it the shotguns?
Is it the bikes?
Is it the nule grenades?

Good weapons against red drones? Any class.

Ranger has the biggest dick out of all of them but he's a grower and not a shower so he gets bullied by everyone and never gets hard.

They're the same, yeah
It's also worth pointing out that half the armour you pick up goes to the class you're playing and the other half is apparently divided between the other classes
So if you pick up 10 boxes as Ranger, you're not getting 5 armour, you're getting closer to 2.5

What's good anti air for air raider? These damn drones can fuck right off.

Didn't tried snipers, but slaughter shotgun just bounces them away. (had semi auto AR in other slot)

Dashing between alleyways blasting off ayy legs in two shotgun blasts while youtube.com/watch?v=fSI7N0mAseY plays is the tightest goddamn shit.
You're on our fucking turf you gray goddamn gaywads.

150mm cannon lapis and 120mm are fast enough

Unfortunately his anti-air options are a bit limited
Limpet snipers, sniper turrets, anti-air bunkers and the Naegling are probably your best bet, but flying enemies are one of Air Raider's weaknesses for sure

Yes, that's correct

You don't really need accuracy to calculate DPS

What's missing is some weapons have spin up animations and the like, which can reduce the DPS

Also it destroys deroys

the leviathans have a small lock-on box and take forever to lock. really only useful with the laser.
the multi ones are okay against large targets I guess.

Does this game have matchmaking?

As in, can I jump into multiplayer despite being a friendless loser?

I guess just jump into any room posted here. Or try any of the passwordless ones on a mission and difficulty you like.

I'm at mission 44 with wing diver and i feel like my energy managment went to shit since 35~ or so. Had no big problems until then. The game is just throwing so much shit at me i can't really handle flying/evading and shooting well, can i get some loadout or general tips?

You could open with a tempest instead, and let the Fencer carry something more useful.

I'd recommend always having a low energy cost alt weapon like the rapier if you're going to be needing to fly a lot. Seems to get me through tough situations a lot.

Use something that doesn't drain you actively, like the kinetic lasers or the grenades (not the superweapon grenades).

Fair enough, I forgot that the Tempest was buffed really hard in 5. There's still a bit of a level gap between the good Tempests and Wild Leviathans though.

They should let the Fencer carry the big ass missiles that currently require Air Raiders to use. Just give them a really big lock-on time so that its impractical to use without the help of a guide beacon for it. Also let NPCs board non driver seats for vehicles so that the bigger vehicles that the driver has no weapons for can be used by the Air Raider if he has NPCs following him.

40 bucks, probably, if you like arcadey horde shooters, co-op, loadout tweaking and optional grinding to make your penis the big penis.

I think NPCs can use vehicles, because I got out of my tank once to do something, then when I turned around, the tank didn't have the lights to get on and it started moving by itself.

No user, clearly your tank is haunted, you should have blown it up for good measure.

That's basically what leviathans are, just not quite as big, and they can't be used at all without AR support.

As the maker of that webm, I can assure you its not. Inferno bugs are really that fast.

Nope, green ants really are that fast and there are accessories that double the Ranger's dashing speed.

Dont be THAT guy, it clearly anime by jap developers and starts in Japanese city

That's his entire point, remove the AR requirement to use them, but make the lock on even longer without the guide beacon

Who thinks like this? "If I have the content files then the DLC should be free!". It's not like day 0 on-disc DLC or anything right?.

Well yeah, that's what the Barga is supposed to be. It's a vehicle meant for putting together highways and carrying heavy shit. A literal bipedal crane used as a last ditch effort to punch that Mysterious Monster in the face because EDF didn't have anything else as big.
EDF is now composed of three different universes.
The original handful of games are semi-related or not at all.

2017 was a new established universe, with 2025/4.1 as a direct sequel.

EDF5 is the newest timeline taking place in 2022, EDF this time around is a private company instead of an international military coalition. Earth had already more or less reached a point of world peace in regards to there not being any conventional wars going on at that moment (only the occasional TERRORISTS). They were working on building an oceanic superhighway with the Barga units as key construction vehicles for it, but infrastructure issues had the project canceled, so the Barga units got mothballed and dumped into back rooms everywhere (until you go digging them out).
