If we had 4 exosuits covered by shield bubbles, walking barrages, and orbital lasers and it wouldn’t be enough. I’ve had at least 6 tanks on the map at ounce on a level 6 before. The newest one at least has fucking chokepoints, and you don’t have worry about the retards getting flattened.

Why do this to yourself?

Scientist evac missions are bullshit and what's even more bullshit is that the new equipment evac missions disappeared as soon as the major order was over, just like the bug tower missions. I enjoyed raining hellfire while being supported by em mortars and swapping between two quasars from my comfy vantage point and I can't believe they took it away.
Never bothering with operations that have those crap missions in em again.

Maybe it's like a coomer game for them, all the black outfits with little eye slits, very sexy. I definitely noticed as well "Bro how you die liek that?! Bro!"

Level 4/5 Quickplay can be a real cluster fuck but people who are pubbing 7's and shit know what they are doing. Those sad MFers have been forged in fire, have seen every shit group a dozen times, have had to do every mission with no comms/support... I find most of the deaths are from the actual mobs (excluding the 500 kill count cluster fuck missions people farm, those groups always blow). You have to choose between fewer mobs and dumber teammates eating cannons to the face and airstriking you or more mobs and teammates who understand patrol mechanics and have a Quasar unlocked.

Maybe I developed too much patience pubbing WoW raids though. That was true hell by comparison.

Helldive is notably easier because only real bad dudes have the balls to play it. They compete to see who can carry the team the most.

Last time I tried running Helldives with randoms the lobby ended up with absolute lobotomites who expect to get carried and/or deciding it is the perfect difficulty to test the new toy - case in point when the Patriot came out, bunch of dumbasses were spawning in, calling down the Patriot and promptly getting mauled by rockets then ragequitting. I wouldn't trust any random shitter on 7+.

Are you on console? Most times I play on helldive with randoms it goes swimmingly but my PS5 buddy tells me he fucking hates it and can never do it with randoms. He's 20 levels above me. I have crossplay on and I do notice more retards when I join his games, I have a hunch it prioritises matchmaking among the same systems unless you create a crossplay instance through joining friend? This combined with consolefags' inferior accuracy due to analog stick and usually more casual playerbase may explain how I'm always hearing wildly different accounts of the competency of randoms on Helldive.

Is it related to players in different time zones? There seems to be fewer brainless dummies after normal north american hours.
 
Got around to using the crossbow finally. It fills a similar role to the grenade launcher but as a primary and without the ability to close bugholes and fabricators for some reason, which really annoys me. Its explosion seems more powerful than the Eruptors, it certainly kills me way more often when accidentally shooting at close range, yet it can't close spawners but the Eruptor can. I think it's main strengths are it's relatively high rate of fire for an explosive weapon as a primary, but again it's the loss of utility in closing holes that cripples this. If it could close them, I think running a close range sidearm and stun grenades with it would be a fantastic build.

Having said all that, it's still a very FUN weapon and I enjoy using it anyway, probably because of how unique it is. Getting the drop on a large group of enemies and unloading it on them is where it shines most. Also apparantly it's the best weapon for destroying eggs.

High command is smoking some strong shit... or they just want us die. Personal order might as well have been "play tag on the freeway" or "put the barrel of the slugger in your mouth while your squad mate stands directly behind you..."

As long as you pay attention mortar sentries don't kill you on accident. Keep distance from enemies when you hear the voice line say mortar sentry incoming

I use mortar sentries all the time as part of my main loadout with the arc shotgun to stun medium to heavy armored enemies and hold them at distance while the mortar rains.

There are of course accidents but its the same way as when i turn around and after hearing some one call in an eagle and find that the red beam was just behind me but out of camera view. I don't see mortars as being any more prone to friendly fire as that.

On the bright side, they do run up kills really fast so odds are most people that don't normally use them will be done in 1-2 missions maxed.

Edit:
After doing the personal order this morning for the 25 hunter kills, I seen the new Major Order and its for everyone to kill a total of 2 billion bugs. Its nice to get away from bots again for 5-6 days. I usually run bug missions on level 7 difficulty so that'll hopefully give me a chance to get the rest of the super samples I need. I need like 63 more. But honestly, after the Terminal upgrades or w/e for general weapon strategems, I don't really think I'll benefit from the other tier 4's since they don't affect anything I'm currently using unless i play around with my loadout more. I'll be doing it more for the completion and upgrading the visuals of the my plantation ship. Maybe I'll try out flame thrower once i get the fire upgrades.
