Let's Sperg Let's Play XCOM Terror From The Deep (Completed) - This is gonna hurt

[R00T]

Well I see what the problem was. I didn't get to throw anything before getting evaporated.
Man lobsters suck.

Fugging nibba prawn people boarding the sub to try make aquanaut subs. Here is to hoping the scuba dinos not making an early appearance like those shrimp spergs.

Patch me back please !

Just_Somebody loses it and paints the RaceWarSub with @wtfNeedSignUp's brains.

imagine getting so pissed that your squad is getting slaughtered that you decide to start killing the yourself

Ah, Lobstermen. Definitely one of the major "Fuck you"s that Terror From the Deep throws at UFO Defense veterans. They have slightly less health and more armor than TFTD's Ethereal equivalent, pack a built-in melee attack and are otherwise aquatic, meaner Mutons. For those not familiar with them, the insane durability comes from damage modifiers that the game doesn't inform you of at all.

According to the wiki:
Armour Piercing: 20% <- Jet Harpoons
Incendiary: 30%
High-Explosive: 30% <- Gas Cannons, Torpedo Launchers, Grenades
Gauss: 30%
Sonic: 50% <- Alien Guns
Stun: 110%
Melee: 200% <- Good luck getting the terror mission to unlock these

Should you encounter Lobstermen before you have Gauss weapons, you're better off just aborting the mission. And if you get that one specific terror mission, you REALLY should just abort the mission and eat the score penalty; it's better than spending two hours to lose most of your squad and still likely have a negative score.

Should have brought some butter to throw.

Oof just another day in TFTD. Feel free to throw my little sibling PastthePepperyPlains in. Maybe they’ll survive long enough to actually get a promotion!

 

[Pocket Dragoon]

I'm still not on the roster?

Use my yellow guts as bait, boss. That's the best use for bulletfood.

 

[Kane Lives]

Dead on the first mission. Now back again with a bravery of 10.

Here we go, men!

 

[TerribleIdeas™]

Obviously, I died because I failed to listen to JBP before the mission, and forgot that humans are superior to lobsters. I look forward to my DNA paste being extruded into a new swimsuit, and being sent forth to Clean Their Rooms™!

 

[Friend computer]

Well, my clone Friend computer 001 is standing by.

and mildly better psionic resistance.

 

[Penne Dreadful]

Penne Dreadful, already frazzled from the way this mission has gone, and now faced with eight feet of heavy armor and giant claws, that he's supposed to walk up to and poke with an icecube on a stick, finally snaps. He dumps his entire magazine of Gauss rounds into the target. Which, to my astonishment, fells it.

He surely can't keep getting away with this.

 

[Gimmick Account]

By the way I had a lot of fun with Phoenix Point. It's not perfect, but the setting is great and basically every enemy is some sort of tough mutant lobster. Fortunately there's a supremely cool aiming system so you can snipe the squishy bits or cripple their organic weapons with location-based damage and clean up later.

 

[Considered HARMful]

So my avatar went to do absolutely fuck all for the first two (three?) missions, finally got to kill an alien bastard and then promply dies to a lobster. I told you that I'm only qualified for the Chair Force!

Anyway, put in the grinder my long lost brother - BASIC Programming.

I know being the head of a site filled with retards is stressful, but don't take it out on me.
