also, for you guys who are getting to that level.....do NOT forget to turn your rail gun to "unsafe" mode.


Wait, I should use "unsafe" mode??

ETA: And I appreciate the feedback on the Eagle stratagems!

yes.

safe modes mean you can sit and hold the charge indefinitely but caps max power at i think 70%.

unsafe mode you can charge to 100% power. but if you hold it too long...well it goes boom boom in the wrong way.

you want that extra power. goes from taking 3-5 shots per charger to 2-3. (i like to shoot the same leg twice to strip armor then shotgun his leg with 3-4 blasts to end it).

This is the most efficient way. Even with safe mode it still takes only 2 shots for the leg armor to fall off. This is how I kill them.

Thank you, going to give Airstrike a shot instead of the Cluster Bombs

Just double checked, it's the Cluster Bombs I use

Ah, okay, good to know.

Also, here's some leaked gameplay of the player-controlled mechs that will eventually be added to the game:

Very rarely run solo. Almost always doing Quickplay with randos.



Ah yea, I rarely bring sentry. Been grabbing orbital laser + rail along with railgun and supply pack.

I really enjoy sentry. That and my Guard Dog make for incredible crowd control while I run in and close up bug holes. Or if I'm being pursued by a horde I can chuck a sentry a good bit ahead of me and by the time it deploys turn around and clean house.

In theory I could eventually get to do that with a cluster bomb but my aim isn't that good yet.

I usually just use mine to help me defend the extraction zone while I'm waiting for a ship to come get me (I'm often just solo'ing).

Thoughts on armor? I need to try light so that I can get some more speed

I started off on heavy because it really does let you take a lot more hits, but on hard and above it seems to be more of a burden as you don't have escapability.

Update, I tried light on hard and felt a bit too squishy. Maybe those more tenured than I have a more evolved opinion but I might stick medium.

I finally moved up to Hard and got very annoyed at all the level 5-6 types taking up space and dying nonstop.

Are you guys running the shield backpack w/ light armor? I think that's a perfect combo. Otherwise, I use the medium armor set that gives you a 50% chance of not dying when you take fatal damage.

Here's a full list of all the content the devs have confirmed is coming:
-Call in AI squad of Super Earth Soldiers
-Helldiver Mechs
-Car/buggy for players
-New Faction (from the old game)
-New mission types
-New enemy types (flying)
-New guns (laser based)

I wonder if we'll be able to unlock additional slots as a "Ship Module" upgrade?

That would be most welcomed. I could use at least one more right now.
