Until they fix Quickplay, I recommend going to the Discord to find people to play with. Everyone is looking for squads with quickplay down.

Anyone have any tips for Automaton missions?

I'm Level 13 and can do just fine in "Challenging" and even "Hard" missions against Terminids, but even on "Easy" I get my butt kicked by Automatons.

at lvl 20 the personal shield really helps since it blocks all that pesky laser damage.

outside of that, they are just harder lol.

1000%

I may stick to bug missions until I get to lvl 20 and unlock the personal shield backpack stratagem.

Trying to escort civilians on robot missions is the fricking worst.

Keep moving, always be moving. I think it helped to play the first game. On the higher difficulties always be moving, and don't engage any enemies you don't have to.

Ahhh, good to know. Do you have a specific loadout you use on Automaton missions vs. Terminid missions?

I've been using:
Medium Armor
SG-225 Breaker as primary
P-19 Redeemer as secondary

Stratagem 1: Guard Dog Rover
Stratagem 2: Grenade Launcher
Stratagem 3: Eagle Cluster Bomb
Stratagem 4: Gatling Sentry

This loadout has been fine for Challenging (and sometimes Hard) missions for Terminids, but should I be replacing the Rover and Grenade Launcher with something like the Recoilless Rifle on harder missions to take down tankier enemies?

Medium Armor


dont. use light. armor is bugged and not working, you just slowing yourself down for no reason.

quote:

SG-225 Breaker as primary

my personal favorite

quote:

Stratagem 1: Guard Dog Rover

love it, even use it still over shield sometimes.

quote:

Stratagem 2: Grenade Launcher

very solid until 20 then rail gun

after that i would say depends on mission types. defense id run mortar and gatling
eggs and bases id run something to take on heavies and eagle strike to blast objective apart
kill XXX type baddie, bring two heavy hitting strats. 120 mm eagle or cannon is a good early on heavy buster, single target high damage to biggest baddie in the area. it wont out right kill some stuff but will soften them up and reveal armors.
