It's "Ice Storm" that's the one I was talking about in that (long winded) build explanation. It's very, very good. "Don't mind me just soloing a Praetorian/Oppressor wave."
Yeah I'm not a math whiz but the damage boost seemed to easily outweigh the slightly reduced max ammo. More importantly though, it 'feels' really good.
Yeah it's one of the few builds that trade ammo for damage in a way that actually works.
I'd make a mod that would replace all the Grunt noises with hollering, but:
I saw the crate, I think it's a new mission type. Looks like some kind of demolition charge, primers or something. Get in, blow the joint, escape.....if you can. I hope it's a new mission type.......
Should've used the Driller so that he could make his own amhole.
God, that reminds me of a ballbuster of an Elimination I did to help a friend's assignment. Lethal Enemies on top of a lithophage meteorite, OMEN, and Bulk spawn. It was a miracle we completed that and got everyone on board the drop pod.
I'd say Steeve works best with the Scout to take some pressure off (Steeve naturally aggros up to two bugs), and every rank of beastmaster gives Steeve a damage buff. Steeve also inherits certain mutators like Lethal Enemies (doubled melee damage from enemies) and Regenerative Bugs (self-explanatory). Another thing to note is that Praetorians and Oppressors take increased damage from melee attacks so with high enough ranks Steeve can easily go mano-a-mano and win.
Sounds solid. I like the sound of the synergy with the regen debuff. I'll definitely be trying it out in good time
Steeve is super worth, he pulls aggro away from you and your team and does decent damage output. Guard steeve is very tanky and can distract opressors and praetorians for a long while.
I love me some Steeve. I run him on Engie so I can be lord of the pets with my turrets, Bosco, Steeve, hacked Patrol Bot(s), Bet-C and my Shredder grenade. Gotta fight the horde with my own horde.
Guard Steeve is excellent but for solo play but falls off a bit in groups and on higher hazards. Not really his fault though as actives like field medic, iron will, and shield link become more of a necessity, on top of dash. Scout is probably the best Steeve user as he doesn't care about dash.
I always run it but yeah he dies quick in haz 5. Still useful for drawing aggro for a bit.
