Yah, the scorcher no longer feels weird to me to use(mainly ads) thanks to angled forgrip. Using it with Holographic sight(haven't upgraded to reflex sight mk2 or iron sight to see if I like them more).
 
Worth noting that this is only(apparently) Part 1 of this update, which is why it didn't have a new title to accompany it.

The new subtitle was leaked on a PS YouTube a few days ago.

There's a LOT more coming. This Illuminate fight culminates on Super Earth, as they've said stopping it from reaching there is impossible.

There's a YouTube video of someone who was somehow able to dive and fight on Super Earth.

I won't link it though. Search it if you want to be spoiled(and its not live, so chances are not everything was in it), but it looks incredible as is.

The Illuminate on Extreme are fucking terrifying now. Those Interlopers and Fleshmobs are amazing additions too, although the new rocket/mortar dudes are a massive pain in the ass.
 
Anyone on PC having the game crash randomly during missions? I had 5 crashes in 40 minutes the other week. I reinstalled the game which I thought fixed the issue and then it started crashing again 2 days ago. I lowered the max framerate to 60 to see if that helps and so far I was able to complete a match without crashes but I'm not convinced it will resolve it for long.

I've reinstalled the game, deleted cache files, deleted Anticheat folders and run the game as admin, verified installation and now I'm kind of wondering what I should do. This is the only game this happens on. I've also noticed my PC heats up my office quite a bit while playing.
 
Fun Times. Working on leveling up Eruptor now that I have LAS-5 Scythe where I want it. Dogs working again. Supers are at the statues.
 
played a few hours and the new missions are pretty fun. I kinda got a setup I'm pretty comfortable with in terms of stratagems. with Auto Cannon, Machine Gun Sentry, Gatling Sentry, HMG Emplacement, I got most stuff covered. only thing I can't deal with would be the Leviathan. I did switch out the HMG Emplacement to the Anti-tank Emplacement instead and was able to take out Leviathans if I have some cover. but I find that it's not really worth the effort and HMG Emplacement works a lot better for me as long as I watch out for Leviathans and get away from their line of sight. just need to make a habbit of checking the sky whenever you can and you'll be fine. and there was also an epic moment where two divers in the fireteam disconnected in a rando defense mission. me and the other guy was able to hold off most of the incoming onslaught with just the two of us. two other divers eventually joined right near the end when the last wave was coming in, and we were able to clear out the mission with no power stations destroyed. good placement of sentries really helps a lot. that and gas nades.
 
went in on some bot runs last night to get the DSS up and running and it was already at freaking 80+% when I went to bed. got up this morning and the DSS is already online and working overtime on Super Earth. we have 2 more mega cities left so hopefully we'll be able to hold them for 2 days.

I think a lot of divers are using the wrong setups when doing the city missions. most of the orbitals and eagles doesn't work that well with all the high-rise buildings around. personally I feel just bring the machine gun and/or gatlings sentry plus whatever support weapon you like would do wonders. the repel missions can also be a little easier if you go with some demo armor and bring sticky names and support pack. just run and nade the drop ships and move on. and all you need for defense missions are sentries and emplacements. just watch where you put them and those are a cake walk.

On the new warbond. Pacifier AR has nice stun but not good when your by yourself so far. I don't think i'll be using that weapon much anymore. Warrant piston seems bugged but even if it wasn't, I don't think I would be using it much anymore neither(doesn't deal enough damage despite being medium pen). Those are the two so far i tried(one run). Maybe my opinion will change idunno. This being done against the bugs.

EDIT: The armors look ok but the passives for them are meh.

I've been eyeing that game for a long while... but I think I can only convince one friend to play through it with me. Sadly playing only with 2 players doesn't sound like fun in that game.

The game is brilliant with randoms.

It has the best non-voice chat communication I've ever seen in a multiplayer shooter.

Just jump on and play with randoms, the community is great.

Edit: we got Calverz Calverz being the resident clown as usual whom I guarantee hasn't even played the game.

glad they adjusted the Leviathans. it's just not fun overall to deal with them after that last change. and I look forward to the jetpack Hulks.

Just spent almost an hour rebinding all the controls to take advantage of a pro controller and have nicer ergonomics. Hate using dpad on PS5 controllers… especially for stims, having to take my thumb off the stick and lose movement. Anyway, finally get everything perfect and it feels really smooth.

Then I try to call in a stratagem, and realize my controls are completely broken. For some reason, some of the functions I hid on the dpad override the L1+Dpad stratagem inputs. So my dipshit helldiver is literally diving whilst I'm calling in a stratagem. Note that, this isn't normally the case, since grenade switching and stuff doesn't interfere by default when holding L1. But other shit does apparently.

I. Want. To. Fucking. Scream.

lol…. Now I have to try and change this shit all back. I might never play this again.

Edit: after thinking about it… it makes sense, and was kind of a dumb assumption on my part. However doesn't make it any less painful. Maybe there is a fix. But not today.

Doing the daily today and I got griefed extra hard. On the third mission, the host pulled out his flamethrower, tracked my mech with it, and then booted me after blowing it up. Not the first time I've been griefed but that goes the extra mile. (I think my last griefing was on a 'kill elites with the spear' daily and my teammate stole a kill after I'd specifically stated I was going for it and asked him to stop damaging it after which he responded 'be faster').

Anyway, I mentioned this to my new teammates after finishing the mission - One of them mentioned a lot of people don't like arc or mech users as there tends to be a lot of collateral team damage. I'm... pretty careful, I think, entirely for that reason, and I don't think I'd hurt the guy up to that point. I think he'd been host the whole time and we'd co-operated well in the past couple missions. I don't get it. =/

probably just assholes being assholes. I've had run-ins with these type before, most recently during a mega city run. at least the guy had the decency of only doing it after we had completed the mission objectives and were waiting for the Pelican for evac. the host killed both me and the other guy multiple times and then left the game after the mission was finished.
 
Played with the De-Escalator for the first time today against Illuminate. Actually a monster of a weapon that wipes out mobs. The tutorial video shows it taking only trash voteless iirc, but even the bigger enforcers take some heavy damage from it. Obv. stuns too and the shielded guys drop their guard for a few seconds (and then don't immediately reraise their shields). Provided someone in the squad brings heavier firepower for the walkers, this one looks like a solid addition to the weapon lineup.
 
We got bot mega cities. I like the lighting on it. Some buffs for the flame sentry(which I was already using a lot lately anyway) and a few others. Nasty bug though on drop in with the framerate dropping to 5fps and my ping be exploding. Couple of crashes. Need to fix that asap. There's also a new enemy for the bots and illuminates.
 
Me using the VG-70 Variable for the first time.

Still wish it was medium pen though lol. No real customization on it neither.

Laser sentry is cool although it does destroy itself. Still im having fun bringing it so far.

Epoch not so much right now. Don't think i'll be using it over the alternatives(although the multiple charge before reload is a plus).

I haven't got the Lift 182 warp pack yet nor the grenade. I only dropped like 3 times so far.

I have to vent… how the fuck does this game still not have loadouts? What could possibly be so difficult about this?
