To save our mother Earth from any alien attack From vicious giant insects who have once again come back We'll unleash all our forces, we won't cut them any slack The EDF deploys!
Our soldiers are prepared for any alien threats The navy launches ships, the air force send their jets And nothing can withstand our fixed bayonets The EDF deploys!
Our forces have now dwindled and we pull back to regroup The enemy has multiplied and formed a massive group We better beat these bugs before we're all turned to soup The EDF deploys!
To take down giant insects who came from outer space We now head underground, for their path we must retrace And find their giant nest and crush the queen's carapace The EDF deploys!
The air force and the navy were destroyed or cast about Scouts, rangers, wing divers have almost been wiped out Despite all this the infantry will stubbornly hold out The EDF deploys!
Our friends were all killed yesterday, as were our families Today we might not make it, facing these atrocities We'll never drop our banner despite our casualties The EDF deploys!
Two days ago my brother died, next day my lover fell Today most everyone was killed, on that we must not dwell But we will never leave the field, we'll never say farewell The EDF deploys!
A legendary hero soon will lead us to glory Eight years ago he sunk the mothership says history Tomorrow we will follow this brave soul to victory The EDF deploys!
Saw a Fencerbro using Tower Shield and I stood next to him, he saw me and turned around, I shouted "Amazing!" and he replied "Thanks!", then we headed into battle together. Comfy game.

Are the private messages that lady gives you scripted or does it only happen when you kill a majority of the enemies in a mission? I've had it happen a few times but only if I had a small team that was dead most of the mission.
Joseph Collins
Why are people hyping Ranger shotguns so much? Yes, they are very good when you are against a single enemy, but if you're swarmed by different types of enemies, I'd much rather use something like the AK looking rifle. Do they need to be fully upgraded or do you need to use Inferno tier shotguns to see their power?
Ryder Smith
I can play/host a pirate lobby in about 20 minutes.
Joshua Jones
Shotguns shine precisely when you're swarmed, high close range damage but more importantly it penetrates. What shotguns are you even using? Anything without 1 round/sec or reload time much more than 2 seconds are shit.
Bentley Wilson
Penetration automatically makes them better than rifles 95% of the time.
Anthony Carter
What's the point of the WD homing weapons? They rape your energy and even if you take the inferno tier ones into lower diff they are weak as shit. I saw something about just taping the buttom which indeed does help with energy draina little, but at that point i might as well just sneeze at the fuckers.

Geist is for aliens, it blows off limbs and you can spam it from a safe distance Mirage stunlocks bees, it basically enables easy mode for any level involving hornets Ghost Chaser just fuckin YEETS tadpoles out of the fucking air, it's extremely good since tadpoles are the most annoying enemy ever
They're all actually extremely good and I'd always recommend bringing one, since crowd control is a very valuable thing to have in this game
two of the dlc2 missions, though the biggest thing i find a downside with armor farming for edf5 is that all of the fast easy strats (not a slow one that uses a titan) use ranger with probe, meaning your ranger will have a fuckton more than all your other classes even if you take roughly balanced stuff into account.
Samuel King
>Anything without 1 round/sec or reload time much more than 2 seconds are shit. So basically they are all shit until you are at least in HARDEST
Daniel Kelly
Maybe 1 round/sec is too much, but 0.7 works just fine, and no, earlier shotguns are shit, but around lvl 20 you should be getting usable shotguns.
Juan Morris
Well lets see if now there are more people lurking Remade my lobby Room: EDF Pass: ants Buyfag Hard starting mission 83 Gonna leave it open for a while
Liam Sanchez
Yes, they are usable, but they still feel worse than Rifles, especially against shit like bees and spiders. Why would I let spiders get close just so I can get the full benefit from my shotgun when I can just hit them from range.
Evan Richardson
Check your stars, a good star weapon from low level is usually worth using over a high-rank weapon with crap stars.
Carson Davis
Huh, I actually made a mistake, most of the shotguns I'm using at earlyish stages have around 3 second reloads. But 1 round/sec is fairly consistent for most of them. So thats what you should aim for. The auto shotguns with high ROF but stupid long reloads are shit when swarmed. Using level appropriate shotgun you should generally be killing non-armored, i.e. non red ants in one shot, probably more if you are actually swarmed due do penetration. Slaughters and Monsoons are generally good choices.
Gavin Carter
I saw some of the farm vidoes for dlc2, the mission with ton of pillons. That shit work on easy too right? Are the enemies so though other classes aren't really viable even on easy? I would imagine wd with rapier for example would be great with occassional dash for healthpack.
Jackson Taylor
Thats what your other weapon slot is for, besides, its not like you can really keep range when they are swarming you anyway.
Brody James
because the shotgun is your backup weapon for when you're knee deep in shit. the other weapon is your primary
Jace Reyes
Do the damage values for AR bombings mean per individual shot, or the sum of all shots?
Mason Edwards
I'd say all armor farming is done on easy for the "you can force fail and still get 100% of your drops" factor. As far as ease for other classes, I certainly wouldn't say it's impossible, just that it becomes a lot less mindless and something you have to actually pay attention to (and loot for, since there's a drop limit on the map). ie. you could use a fencer with 2x hell flame revolvers and just rotate constantly, a WD with a rapier, an air raider with some a flame mech/some flame turrets, etc. For the 'pure' afk farm one youtube.com/watch?v=yO6QdoWeBi4 ranger is mandatory over optional, at that.
Sebastian Young
I farmed my best Fencer weapons on that mission (island with dozens of pilons) on inferno. I imagine it's also really good for armor farming on easy because it has the highest spawn rate (and infinite) of silvers and they all come to you quickly.
>try dlc mission 1#9 which has nothing but silver spiders and a silver king >can kill the first lot, and the left northern lot without too much issue as fencer with a great shield+shield stuff, or air raider with EZ nix >no matter what I do, I can't seem to isolate just a portion of the spiders by the king and get overwhelmed by them and blown up every fucking time How do I do this shit
Cameron Mitchell
You throw mini bombs over an area. The damage might be low individually but once you get the hang of it, you can concentrate it on a small area. And it will deal a lot of damage in that case. The spread is good for crowd control so its very useful in caves. Personally, I use it everytime I have the chance including as make shift anti air flak as you can throw these things pretty high up. Seriously try it out man.

vulcan hammer works wonders against pillbugs since it gives you hyper armor during the attack animation which also negates ragdolling. other strikers with more range can maybe work even better since pillbugs have fairly low hp but I haven't really tried any of them

That's only true for armor, if EDF4.1 (and a couple of youtube videos I've seen for 5) is anything to go by. You should still get bias towards whatever class picks up weapon crates.

Hey gamers what are the best wingding weapons to use? I can't seem to settle on any. I know in 4 I used the thunder sniper a lot but juggled my second weapon around.
Jaxon Wright
Is my hosting retarded? Why are you guys dying?
Jackson Diaz
Always bring a chargeable weapon and a weapon with battery pack. I really enjoyed using Dragon and Phalanx lances, Mag Blaster and Mirage/Geist. Later I appreciated Thunder Bow and Monster sniper rifle, which seems to get some hate here.
Blake Walker
Room is up Buyfag /vdf/ Pass is rage Hardest from near the start
Josiah Hughes
Power lance is straight up the best weapon WD has. It's dirt cheap, charges fast, and you can stay in range to use it fairly safely. With decent upgrades it should be one-shotting monsters. Phalanx and dragoon lance are good against heavier targets, but sometimes unnecessary. Thunder crossbow is a nice all-rounder, decent range, decent damage, and fairly cheap to fire. I think closed laser is actually pretty decent long range weapon, it does weak damage, but it's perfectly fine for sniping a limb, or harassing enemies that you can't handle at close range. I'd recommend against the sniper playstyle overall though, you'll be low impact and take a long time to get anything done, when you could be melting faces with your phalanx.
Ryder Ramirez
I'll try them out them, the dragoon lances are really great. Snipers are fun but the closed laser does such shit damage I can barely stand it. Guess I'll mess around with the electric mid range weapons and the lances then
Gavin Jackson

Aiden Ortiz
I don't care if you use it at mission completion but using it mid-mission and eating all the medpacks is full retard.
Justin Gomez
lmao implying someone can't already enjoy a game and removing tedious shit they dont find fun or challenging isnt just flat out enhancing that enjoyment
Jason Sanders
Like I said, if you have to break the game's rules in order to enjoy it, you don't enjoy it in the first place. You might enjoy the cheated version of the game, but that's not the same game. I don't think it's wrong in a singleplayer experience, but you're turning your whole lobby into cheaters by proxy with this shit. Just ask when you use it, and don't use it if they have a problem with it.
Lincoln Ramirez
There's literally no reason for it not to give you the drops at the end regardless, it's an added chore that distracts from the game.
Hunter Miller
Few will give a shit if you do it at the end. If you do it repeatedly during the middle of missions you're a selfish faggot and people will rightly call you out.

Nah your logic is retarded mate, while I havent played these games for as long as some, only really knowing it even existed with 2025 and getting that on PS3 to 4.1 on PC and now finally 5 on PC as well and deciding to do stuff like this you can't say I never enjoyed these games.
Sure about online with randoms though but I do say it in the lobby comment field.

Literally just ask before you turn on your cheats. Online cheating is seen by a lot of people as scumfuckery, and it's good to warn people before you do it. You might not think it's a big deal, but cheaters are a scourge in a lot of other communities, and people rightfully hate them.

I dont think so looking at how characters interact being on top of anything like vehicles. Sure but my point was to point out how really petty this even being an argument is. "Worst" thing that can happen is you gained maybe 10 more armor boxes that no one would be arsed to even pick up and 2 minutes of your life. How is it I see way more complaining about this shit in these topics over dickheads coming into lobbies with god mode on, deleting every enemy instantly and/or finishing a mission to see someone had the 9999999999999999999 of every box cheat?
Blake Butler
Cheaters don't usually only cheat at 1 thing user. That's why it's good to call them out on even the tiniest cheats.
No cheater with the actual intent of just either wishing to completely rip the game open or wanting to ruin other people's save files would bother with the pick up cheat when there is vastly better ways to do so like I just mentioned.

there seems to be something fucky with turrets. place them on flat space, they're fine. place them on angled space, they're fine. but if you put them on pavement part of road they sometimes position themselves in angled way and they go apeshit and their aim is perfectly off the target at some fixed angle.

There's a bunch of missing information in this game. How long does each laser type last? What's the delay before each kind of airstrike? What's the shot speed for rockets and homing weapons? A huge part of Fencer's design is rotational inertia, so which weapons have higher or lower amounts of rotational inertia? What's the rate of fire on AR's autoguns? What's the DPS on WD's special grenades? EDF is a very mysterious game.
Levi Morgan
well for me it's more "this weapon has a range of 90m/1200m/3600m' or 'radius of x/y/z value', but you don't really get given a reference for how big (or far) that actually is.

What's it even like to play anything other than AR? I can't stop the 150mm spam, with glassing an entire city and calling down lasers or a mecha if I need to
Nicholas Ross
I like to play STEALTH on missions where you're in a city and there's Ayys everywhere and you can flank around and pick them off Its really REALLY hard to do that when you have an AR glassing the city and agroing everything and suddenly LASERS from across the map and you're dead
If Online, take a guide beacon gun and tag a drone Make sure everyone brings FAST MOVING lock on weapons, make sure to punt any ranger who brings an air tortoise in the cunt. Solo you want gunships, either small area multi shot ones, or large damage single shot ones. The goal is to tag them as they stop moving. You can also bring a large guided missile to hit them with first. Just aim at the ground till the missiles are called in, then wait till their close before tagging the nearest red drone
Anthony Wilson
What ARE the fast moving lock on weapons? most I've tried are slow as shit, or do super fuckall damage, or are the kind that are "lock onto 500 targets at once doing 5 damage each" (I do realise that beacons bypass this issue, but still).
Thomas Bailey
I've used the autocannon and they usually go flying out of the aoe after the first hit.
That's exactly what I did during the red drone intro. I stuck a beacon on and my fencer buddy fired his tracking missiles. We thought we were geniuses until it turn out the missiles don't fly fast enough to catch them until they stop.
Levi Scott
how fast are leviathans/haytal missiles (since they require a lockon beacon or laser guide to work) for that?
Zachary Morales
The ranger Fork and MLRA missiles fly really fast, its not about big dick damage its about constant damage Wing diver has several lock on weapons that fire a fast movie projectile, a Mirage is probably the best choice Fencer I'm not too sure of, I think the blood storm missiles fly pretty fast and they detonate early to hit a wide area, might be pants I should do testing
Angel Gomez
Typically the multi missile options are all faster than the single big missile options. Ram all 500 of those 5 damage missiles on a single target and it all adds up pretty fast. It's also piss easy to aim missiles once a beacon is set.

Oh, somehow I may have misinterpreted it a little. there aren't as many 'good' farming missions in 4.1, but you can access them earlier compared to 5. the first is 14 (the beach that basically clears itself if you run away from the start and then just carefully get drops on the beach afterwards), then it's like 52 (balam activation mission, but it has an absurdly low crate drop rate), then there's a few in the 70s. underground is ass though in 4.1 because it's pitch black, I actually got completely lost in one of the missions, to the point that I only cleared the mission because the npcs finished it for me without assistance instead of just getting slaughtered.
Ayden Murphy
that definitely human being hiding behind the building holding a plasma weapon.
Henry Torres
Works well on missions where most of the enemies come to you. You can really fuck some shit up with that massive boost to weapon charge speed. Pretty risky move for solo play but can work out well in multi player.
It bugs me too. The DLC missions are still pretty tough on non-inferno difficulties but they drop absolute garbage until inferno.

if you're after weapons, just run mission 14 over and over on ranger on hard/hardest/inferno, it sohuld give you a fair list of drops suitable for whatever early-mid/late range ranger play you want for hard mode.

Can anyone give a re/v/iew of Iron Rain?
Aaron Campbell
I get strong Insect Armageddon vibes from it, and I gear the upgrade system is worse
Nolan Wright
Westernized EDF that removes everything that makes EDF endearing. Insect Armageddon was better.
Oliver Campbell
Post lobbies, you'll get joiners pretty fast
Adam Bailey

Chase Butler
so whats the point of wing diver core upgrades if they dont fly any longer? just to support upgraded weapon energy costs? seems kinda lame
Ryder Barnes
Yes, she's the only class where her "upgrades" aren't actually upgrades because nothing changes, the numbers just inflate.
Nathaniel Scott
Room going up. If you don't want to loot or can't follow simple directions, move along. vdf Buychads only Mission 27 hard rage
Caleb Fisher
>finish hard solo >welp, guess we'll see how nightmare is >regular ants fuck me up if I'm not tryharding Guess Hardest is there for a reason huh?
Gotta argue one extreme, else it'll get worse. If collecting all boxes at the end of a mission is a controversial issue, then of course unlocking all weapons max level is wrong, activating god mode, etc. And it'll stay that way.
Kayden Turner
rip?
Gavin Foster
>tfw host accidentally presses alt + f4 H-he'll be back right?
I didn't alt+f4, room is back up. My Internet connection went down in a weird cascading failure, everything disconnected but not all at once. I was talking to someone about my EDF crashing and then that went down too. But we're all back in.
Brayden Gray

David Brown
i never have a problem with it, try using windowed full screen
Carson Flores
Sorry, wrong game, meant to say Lunatic.
Easton Cruz
get it right idiot, it's dante must die
Landon Thomas
Impressed they actually put alt+F4 protection in the game. Pressing alt+F4 does the same thing as pressing ESC on the title screen (bring up yes/no box). Not sure if it drops that concept in mission but it can be ruled out as a possibility.
Hardest adds new waves and sometimes enemy types earlier than usual, there's dialogue for when silver spiders show up in the new wave for the "SAVING EUROPE" mission
Dylan Lewis
hardest is the comfiest i think, it's just enough to be interesting, but you can also completely smash it if you have a good team or a good plan
Nicholas Rivera
even when you're playing on easier difficulties, they still say something about there being new types during that mission. It's a little odd.
Disagree. The highest rank short-range (which are your bread and butter) weapons for WD on higher difficulties will usually carry you through the entire campaign. You're mostly keeping the same weapons, so your energy costs go down, and you can commit more energy to flying. In inferno, you have access to the Phalanx ZT and the M5. M5 does less damage overall, but it usually does enough damage, and it's easier to use. Lances follow a similar pattern, you get the Tri Dragoon, which does a fuckton of damage, but isn't really practical, or you can just use the head-busting M4 that you got at rank 61, which has enough damage. WD is designed to bring in old cheap weapons, except when she needs a fancy specialty weapon, so your extra core energy goes to flying instead of guns.
At least it went out on a high note. Iron Rain doesn't count.
Eli Flores

Jordan Perry
>close range high risk reward isn't fun I like a fuckton of the weapons, even tried to make pure trash like closed laser and grit gun useful. But short range is her most effective and most fun role.

Does the game only count online completion toward removing limits?
Ryder Walker
I own the game I still get the whitescreen problem
Adam Lewis

Justin Phillips
yes
Dylan Gonzalez
I don't understand people sometimes. If you plan on cheating, couldn't you be a bit more subtle?
He's just that good. I saw an Air Raider with 30k health and 71% completion yesterday. He was Chinese so it might be legit, but on the other hand he was Chinese and those fuckers always cheat.
Ryan Walker
This is a game about shooting bugs, not picking up boxes, duh.
Parker Flores
But user, if you won't pick up boxes, you will be bad at shooting bugs.
Ian Turner
Picking up boxes is a part of it. People would play differently if they didn't have to keep box collection in mind.
Easton James
What if when you picked up boxes it upgraded your NPC infantry friends too. And they each could pick up boxes while following you around the map.
Mason Gutierrez
>kill high value targets >they drop boxes >i pick up the boxes >my team who did nothing gets access to the boxes It's not fair.
Ryan Peterson
is this communism?
Gabriel Howard

Juan Wood
You can reduce your max armor in the option menu and it gets reflected on the lobby. Maybe, just maybe he did reduce his armor for the challenge.
Austin Carter
but why would he reduce it to such an odd number
Ryan Wilson
what i wanna know is where do the aliens get all the boxes
Cooper Barnes
From the box store
Matthew Johnson
From soldiers they're ate.
Austin Edwards
Mission 81 is a lot more interesting when nobody gets in the Barga.
It's not like you type in the new armor value. He held it down until he got around the value he wanted and didn't care to move it to an even number.
Tyler Torres
How did the shotgun ayys not instantly melt you

Eli Garcia
They ayys and the humans have several different aggro mechanics. If they are unaggroed, they tag the first one to reach their field of vision. When they are aggroed, they hit the last one to damage them and if there is no one to attack they return to the unaggroed stance.
Jaxson Phillips
well i gotta say. meeting the wasp queen on hard in 4.1 was kinda...disappointing.
Jaxon Wright
it should also be added that they move to the last seen position of an enemy before returning into patrol mode.

John Sanders
just shoot them. they have no hp and go down fast
Kayden Evans
I wish EDF didn't bore me to tears because I love Starship Troopers and multiplayer games. I don't find anything about it engaging though. The enemy AI is non-existent and the pacing is weirdly slow most of the time.
Cooper Davis
health pickups should work like they do for npc partymates imo.
Ethan Ramirez
it starts off slow for like the first 20 mission but afterwards it picks up
Makes sense, I've never managed to get past even 5 of them in the EDFs I've played. Why does it take so long to get better?
Cameron Hill
what class? ranger's got piercing rifles that make mincemeat of em.
Matthew Reyes
Fencer
Isaiah Baker
only an issue for ranger and AR. the former can use quick reload weapons like monsoon shotguns which kill greens in a single shot and the latter can use any vehicle with flamethrowers
Easton Cox
anything with Archelus showing up and fucking around for a couple minutes until he peaces out, bonus points if there's barely any monsters for drops
Adrian Gutierrez
>Fencer nigger, that's the most mobile and versatile class of the game. two ways to deal with greens: >abuse hyper armor with Vulcan Hammer since it makes it impossible for you to ragdoll >dashjump kite them all while spamming jackhammer+dexter
Aiden Diaz
try paired vulcan hammers. use uncharged swings. you still get the damage resistance and the uncharged swings are still strong enough to rip through em.
paired force blades/force ax works well too. you get 20 swings with maxed stats. should be enough range to tear right through the whole throng
because a lot of the early missions are set-up missions/intros
Leo Myers
>paired vulcan hammers >uncharged swings but you can chain charged swings too. only reason to use uncharged is if you want to make use of its greater range. Also I remembered that Vibro Rollers are fucking amazing in that regard. They dish out just enough damage to kill greens and thus you can clear an entire group with a single swing. Only issue is that you can't move your camera before initiating the attack or else it aims off to the side
Joshua Davis
well ya, the shockwave from uncharged swings will hit more greenies further out

Ethan Brooks
Are the weapons you are currently using more likely to upgrade than ones you aren't, or is it just my imagination?
Austin Thompson
just your imagination. I spent 10 hours trying to get a hell flame revolver to drop with a better stat, I think in that time period I got like, 3, maybe 4 max drops of it.
Andrew James
I like outpost because as ranger I get to leisurely snipe all the guns off it
Nicholas Powell

Andrew James

Carter Rivera
Did this just come out in China or something? I swear every room name is gobbledy-gook now. I miss playing with people I could understand.
David Perez
Get a Revolver Nyx, its the best one Flame Nyx are alright too
Ryder Wilson
The tanks and apcs are used for shooting weakpoints you can't hit with your airstrikes. The Nyxs are used for fire support, unless you have a red one. Red Nyxs are used for close quarters. The big tank is pretty much an artillery gun that you use for memes. And Barga is what you use to fight god.
Sebastian Young
Combat nyx is pretty nice, it's the best I have right now Naeglant is nice for bees and toadshits, but dies fast Blacker ED is nice for looting boxes and decent damage
The titan(?) mech is remarkably nice for defending a spot, the mission where about a thousands rollypollies run over a hill, I called in that big mecha me and a mate blapped basically ALL of them with the side cannons, so easy. Mid seat is nice for AA
Levi Diaz
It's 4pm in China right now, so of course it's going to be more active at the moment.

Owen Lopez
>scout the outpost >solo raider holy fuck shit my supple yet fragile ass is bloodied raw from all these drones shoving themselves in and stunlocking me fuck off christ
hard is actually easier since you get much better weapons and gear
>intended difficulty the descriptions are full of shit just like how they say that ranger is good for beginners when he's actually the hardest class due to no mobility and weak arsenal compared to all the other classes. if that isn't enough for you, consider the fact that all the fun weapons and items only start dropping from hard onwards

Thomas Watson
Doing DLC missions and late campain ones made me realize i have seriously no idea of how to play Fencer in certain missions Like this one of the DLC with lots of giants pylons in the city How i am supposed to solo a pylon mission like this with Fencer? And it's just Hard difficulty
Nolan Sanders
>say EDF >no one says EDF back Why are pubs so quiet?
Logan Brooks
Don't play with pubs.
Isaac Sullivan
Where the lobbies at I feel like not sleeping
Jaxon Ramirez
I am too busy trying to solo a DLC mission to host I am at at my 20th failure in DLC mission 7 I really just dunno what loadout use for this
Logan Gomez
you nuke the pylons that make bees first, then somehow sort out the rest.
Nathan Sanders
edf/v/ pass: rage hardest mission 23
Jaxon Peterson
I dunno how to nuke them fast enough without getting swarmed obviously
Angel Carter
if it's the mission I'm thinking of, all the pylons start inactive, and only activate when one near them is attacked (so for the most part, attacking them starting from the middle is a bad idea). I find it kind of bullshit that penetrating weapons like sniper rifles dont actually penetrate pylons though, so you can't get into a good spot and then shoot through like 10 of them at once.
Caleb Garcia
FUCK I woke up and my ps4 controllers fucked.
Lucas Morales
Even if i attack one of the side i feel like all gets activated I spent almost 2 hours now on this single mission
Landon Sanchez
what are some decent weapons on WD ? i swear i tried many weapons but always end up using phallanx and double lance and some time the big plasma canon to snipe. note: I'm 40 mission in my first ever playthrough (hard mode)
Xavier Mitchell
Destroyer blaster
Julian Edwards
Do you really need to grind for inferno? I'm at mission 75 on hardest and it seems fine so far without any grinding at all even though I've got like half the armor of everyone and almost no maxed weapons.

BUYFAG VDF RAGE INFERNO MISSION 101
Joseph James
loli frog cunny vs big chad dick
Colton Robinson
The most braindead simple strategy with Fencer is to dashjump kite the shit out of everything. Blasthole spear+Dispersal mortar is my favorite in that regard. The blasthole packs quite a punch against anything big but due to PT can be used against crowds too and the dispersal can be used to hit crowds, single big enemies and pylons from a small distance.
Elijah Price
2/4
Mason Gray
>Do you really need to grind for inferno? Not at all. Playing through hardest should get you enough armor to be fine in inferno
Gavin Campbell
I tried that, can't kite so much and i also can't dashjump forever I am giving up on solo DLC for now, weapon drops are 20 levels below me and i am still feel too weak for it
When should I start farming armor Or alternatively, how much armor would it be good/required to have at some key points in the game
Daniel Torres
>can't dashjump forever if you have at 4+ dashes you can do that pretty easily since the boost jump cooldown is ~4 grounded dashes long (or 3 if you delay them). Alternatively you can bridge the cooldown with any striker that gives you hyperarmor (massive damage reduction+no ragdoll). In that regard I'd recommend Vulcan Hammer. You can put it on your second weapon set.
online is even easier though since you can shift the focus of the enemies and strategize, assuming you're playing with people that aren't braindead
Ryan Roberts
>When should I start farming armor never
Daniel Collins
I don't think i was slacking in boxes collecting and i had barely 2k armor after finishing hard + hardest. Online inferno is doable with that if you damn good, sure, but you go down the second something gives you mean eye.
Oliver White
I am playing with my retarded friend who plays ranger and keeps running right into the epicenter of the battle and getting fucking destroyed by frogs and spiders despite me telling him not to do that every fucking time though I don't want to play on normal and miss out on equipment, but I find it difficult to carry solo as an air raider without armor and good equips
Nathaniel James
Go have some fun and pal around in random lobbies without your friend then. You'll get armor and upgrades without having to just grind the same mission over and over alone.
Bentley Perez
Real dead hours. I transcribed the VA credits out of boredom, props if anyone can find other roles some of these guys have done VA for since I tried a few like for Sarge and couldn't find shit.
I just start over from mission 1 and collect boxes like usual. I tried farming gammas on mission 87 inferno and got bored after 3 repeats of that.
Jason Martin
>but you go down the second something gives you mean eye sure but by that point you should understand enemies well enough to be able to negate most damage. also you gotta consider that players can revive each other which is a massive gamechanger
>air raider without armor as an AR you shouldn't even be worrying about armor since you should always be unreachable to the enemy through either distance or by being inside vehicles. >good equips you always get better equipment as you move through missions and difficulties. thus you get shittier stuff on easier difficulties
Best tip is to get somebody else to join your two man group to help you out
Liam Cox
nuke the friend then. make him useful
Elijah Davis
Nuking isn't always going to be an effective solution user.
Andrew Ross
That mission has only one golden queen on both inferno and hardest. And a few waves of green ants to surprise you too.
Joseph Torres

James Ward
>ants ?
Lucas Thompson
It's the fan nickname for alphas.
Aaron Rogers
I don't get it.
Nolan Hughes
We're talking about a horde of 10 meter monsters!
Oliver Martinez
Yeah, I understand that as an AR I shouldn't be on the frontlines, but once the dumbfuck kills himself, the enemy attention switches to me and I get swarmed We're at around mission 36 and the best I have is Kamuy and Nix A, and they start to feel a bit lacking, at least the Nix. Maybe I'll just really play some random lobbies Thing is, it doesn't really work. I nuked him, I refused to revive him, he may then proceed to stay away, for a mission or two, but then he proceeds to do it again. I might just tell him to try and switch to Wing Diver or Fencer so he at least would have the tools to survive in the fight but I don't know if he could handle them
Easton Thompson
>I don't know if he could handle them Fencer is pretty simple once you understand dashjumping
Jeremiah Perry
Dunno how but managed in the end God if pylons missions are stressing solo Online i like get high ground and shell them fast but solo and endgame ones are simply just pain still
can't do 43 on hard as ranger, NPCs die basically instantly on second wave of anchors and then it's gg because I can't deal with the horde myself
Dylan Lee
Nice!
Anthony Cox
don't aggro every single anchor like a fool. wait for them all to fall, head to the park, and fight them a couple at a time. you can attack the very low anchor (in the waterway), and the very tall normal anchor (next to the right side big anchor) without aggroing any other anchors next to them.
