EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5

EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5

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!

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.

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?

I can play/host a pirate lobby in about 20 minutes.

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.

Penetration automatically makes them better than rifles 95% of the time.

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.

stunlocking stuff so that other people can focus on high priority targets

What was the best mission to farm armor again? DLC included. I forgot.

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

I miss them Yea Forumsros

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.

>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

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.

Well lets see if now there are more people lurking

Gonna leave it open for a while

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.

Check your stars, a good star weapon from low level is usually worth using over a high-rank weapon with crap stars.

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.

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.

Thats what your other weapon slot is for, besides, its not like you can really keep range when they are swarming you anyway.

because the shotgun is your backup weapon for when you're knee deep in shit. the other weapon is your primary

Do the damage values for AR bombings mean per individual shot, or the sum of all shots?

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.

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.

Per shot, it's why strafing runs are a million times better than phobos for large monsters.

How do I do this shit

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.

Gimme 15 minutes.

How the fuck i do Mission 91 solo as Fencer?

have you tried the regular grenades too? They are insanely useful against both single targets and crowds.
there's no better feeling than correctly predicting the movement of an enemy and lobbing one right into their face

Come the fuck on, it's easy as shit, just strafe to dodge their webs while pelting them with whatever weapon combo you use. The meta is so goddamn op that you have to be an absolute brainlet to fuck it up

max mobility setup (my rec would be blasthole+dispersal), focus on ayys first then on the teleporters

Nah, "just be a meta slave" is shit advice pal

dude, what else do you want me to tell you? it's still just a fucking spider, circlestrafe and shoot them

The ayys are literally the last of my problems
I cannot not get overrun by the balls
Almost 40 minutes and i still can't get over it

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

Ok, I will try it out on my next mission.

And for the rare case they miss, they do splash as well.

You can get some fairly consistent dodges on WD if you zigzag, but if you fuck up more than once, it's all over.

The grenade suck due to the long windup time. The damage and explosion once it hits is amazing though. Still, I like my firecrackers more.

Limpy leggos are fucking scrotum scraping scallywags. Those fucking leg lasers fucking melt me from ten million light years away. The accuracy is nuts

If you splitscreen offline then you can have your Ranger collect items and a second class get them fully as well.

EDF looks like so much fun if you have friends, which I don't

Its fun solo too, playing Ranger and taking care of the NPCs gives you a feel of camaraderie and despair when you see them dwindle in numbers that online doesn't get you. Its a different atmosphere altogether when you play it like that.

just play Yea Forums lobbies. some of them are screeching autists, but like 80% of them are cool

I have EDF2 on Vita which was a lot of fun alone, but eventually I began to lose interest in playing alone. Just seems like one of those games that's drastically amplified by having at least one other person to play with

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.

Reclaiming base missions + Archelus fight are kino of the highest degree.

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.

Is my hosting retarded? Why are you guys dying?

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.

Hardest from near the start

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.

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

How do I set up a turbo clicker for my mouse? I want to use the semi automatic rifles without getting carpal tunnel and arthritis.

You could try AutoHotkey. It's simple and there are tons of scripts online if you have trouble figuring it out for yourself.

I'd love a cheat that just expanded my collection range to the whole map so I can suck everything up at the end of the missions.

those exist. 4.1's better so far for now though

if you have a logitech mouse, logitech gaming software.

whats the difference in the 4.1 version?

Lobby is still up, 2/4 currently

People generally get upset when you do that online though, no idea why because collection is the worst part.

If you have to cheat to enjoy a game, then you don't enjoy the game. And if you don't need to cheat, then don't cheat.

At least he is correct about Spritefall-chan

I don't care if you use it at mission completion but using it mid-mission and eating all the medpacks is full retard.

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

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.

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.

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.

Dont see anyone making an argument for those cunts, that is flat out cheating yeah but its funny to see people do this because it shows to me a lack of self restraint with that hotkey being available to them because there is literally millions of better ways to cheat and be subtle about it.

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.

Geist 3 absolutely obliterates anything on 4 player hard (or solo hardest), up to and including god. Also gets more teamkills than 4.1 AR and blacks out the screen almost like spritefall
For faster small targets Mirage or Ghost Chaser might be better but Geist 3 should be your default loadout for any unfamiliar mission.

One of my favorites was when I returned to the AR and Ranger at 0 energy, and the AR's immediate response to 2 rollies chasing was to drop a Spritefall Max on his location and climb into the barga. That's some next level shit.

one thing that would be nice in this game is a better idea of just how big a radius or range is.

Nice!

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.

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.

Pretty sure all continuous damage sources work at 60 fps so you can calculate durations from number of projectiles

Nice!

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

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).

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.

how fast are leviathans/haytal missiles (since they require a lockon beacon or laser guide to work) for that?

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

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.

>not pirating your cat

>beat game
>DLC restricts level to shit obtained halfway through the game
who thought this was a good idea

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.

that definitely human being hiding behind the building holding a plasma weapon.

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.

i honestly don't mind the caves. i kinda wish there was a few more.

then you should play 4.1 online, it has some extra missions, including caves ones.

i have been. with a friend. it's just been slow going very very slow going. mostly due to the long list of ass weapons i have for ranger

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.

whoever designed a javelin that blows up next to your face whenever you move in any direction should have been shot

These webms got me off the fence about this game well done anons. Can I play a wing diver without a vagina though?

only you got shot, ya dumb nig

The drone can't shoot you when it gets tossed around by an endless stream of missiles.

No, though Fencer can go pretty fast with jumpdashing or whatever if that counts for anything.

Anyone down for inferno?

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.

This is a game about shooting bugs, not picking up boxes, duh.

But user, if you won't pick up boxes, you will be bad at shooting bugs.

Picking up boxes is a part of it. People would play differently if they didn't have to keep box collection in mind.

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.

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.

well i gotta say. meeting the wasp queen on hard in 4.1 was kinda...disappointing.

it should also be added that they move to the last seen position of an enemy before returning into patrol mode.

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

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

i used Blashole+Dexter and Dispersal+UT2 Gantling

because a lot of the early missions are set-up missions/intros

>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

well ya, the shockwave from uncharged swings will hit more greenies further out

WHICH FORCE SPECIFICALLY?

AR vehicles seem to do shit for damage

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.

Get a Revolver Nyx, its the best one
Flame Nyx are alright too

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.

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

It's 4pm in China right now, so of course it's going to be more active at the moment.

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.

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.

On solo. Online maybe if you finish it with all classes.

how do I change save file name

everyone sees me joining games as Callsign and think I am retarded

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

>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

>When should I start farming armor
never

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.

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

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.

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.

>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

nuke the friend then. make him useful

Nuking isn't always going to be an effective solution user.

That mission has only one golden queen on both inferno and hardest. And a few waves of green ants to surprise you too.

mother monster*

>ants
?

It's the fan nickname for alphas.

I don't get it.

We're talking about a horde of 10 meter monsters!

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

>I don't know if he could handle them
Fencer is pretty simple once you understand dashjumping

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

Nice!

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.
