DISCUSSION Breakthrough Exosuit is Slept on for Vote Snatchers

27 Upvotes

So I, like many faced 500 crushers and 5 million wretches (with a healthy amount of flesh dudes) and found it extremely difficult to complete objectives as a team, let alone solo. However my perspective has permamently changed today thanks to this exosuit that just works.

Wretches? As long as you continue moving and dont let them pile up they get crushed by you and damage dealt by them is negligible, they also get flung to stratosphere sometimes with shield swing and get one tapped (usually) lol. Crushers? These dudes dont even stand a chance as shield blocks literally every single attack bar ones from behind, staggers them with a swing and basically locks them down. Unrionically flesh dudes were the largest problem as they dealt damage by wailing around infront of my shield (idk how lol), nothing a few swings and a shotgun from breakthrough cant solve.

Overall even with 2 of the people being newbies in this rando team I was able to quite succesfully lock down hordes upon hordes of these beings, giving my team time to run away, complete objectives or give them time to prepare as I hold the entrance to extraction.

I've quickly learnt to not use shotgun to kill crushers as aiming for the head is extremely hard+spread is horrendeous on it, so its best use was for aiming between multiple crushers, firing once and watching as they get staggered for a good 2-4 seconds, extremely good crowd control to put it simply.

Overall I'd suggest people to try this out lol, completely changes the "constantly run away while dodging 500 crusher swings" with being the teams tank and give everyone a breathing room as they do the objectives with only 4-5 crushers and a dozen or so wretches to deal with instead of dozens of former and hundreds of latter. Its also extremely fun, really suits the "Breakthrough Exosuit" name. Legit felt like a dreadnought from 40k

Wanted to share this cause its both a fun option and a really good one for vote snatchers that I (like many) used to either get annoyed at the spawn rate of enemies or find it too difficult (I find it fun though)

My favorite memories of oshaune was bringing the frv and just barreling through the tunnels. It'd get banged up pretty bad but it was fun. Imagine a reinforced one that moves slower but has spikes in the front for chaff and reinforced plates for charger attacks and such

DISCUSSION DSS Eagle Strafing run/ Gas should be a 5th Strat instead of random airstrikes.

41 Upvotes

Yes yes the player community is never happy, but seriously. any mission when you gotta stay in the area is miserable when you get pelted by 5 gas strikes in a row/ randomly walking to an objective in the past and then you get strafing run'd. Luckily its only on a planet with the DSS but most of the time this is the Major order planet.
Dunno how ya'll feel about it but these random eagles have been an issue since the DSS was built

DISCUSSION Vote Snatchers on Stationary OBJs Have Traumatised Me

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

They make the Illuminate actually feel challenging on D10 but stationary objectives - specifically ‘Take Down Overship’ - feel like a death march even with all 4 players on site.

The fastest way to deal with clusters of terrain clipping Fleshmobs and ninja-silent Crushers is usually fire or rapid concussive force like the AC. The only problem is, you have teammates who are trying to rotate the cannon getting swarmed by said clusterfuckers, it’s nearly impossible to protect them without making them a name on the wall of martyrs in the process because there sure as hell won’t be a body left behind.

The MGs are great too but they’re single target focus at a time.

I’m looking for any tips anyone has for dealing with this situation.

WITH THEIR MANY EYES, THEY SHALL WEEP.

WITH THEIR MANY LIMBS, THEY WILL CRAWL.

IN THEIR MANY TONGUES, THEY SHALL PLEAD.

IN THEIR MANY FORMS, THEY WILL FALL.

SO SAYETH FREEDOM.

Exo experts was worth the money. Being able to wade through enemy units, to flay the larger enemies alive with canister shot. There is something brutally satisfying about this mech. You are the wall, the shield that guards your team and your SEAF minions. You walk ahead and buy them time to complete objectives and call in stratagems.

I love this piece of equipment. It is the most fun I’ve had in the game for a good long while.

Not to mention the Entrenched Division camo looks absolutely sick on it.

TIPS / TACTICS Mindless Masses...how do you do it?

76 Upvotes

I did three missions last night against the Illuminate. I'm level 30 and the two others were level 100+. It had the Mindless Masses negative, along with Ion Storm on D8 difficulty.

*How do you guys do it?*

It was PURE MADNESS. The waves of Voteless just. Kept. Coming! The Mass enemies (ones that look like all the bodies massed together.) Just. Kept. Coming.

And the damn Watchers! Every two I shot, three more spawned to take their place! Even destroying all the encampments did *nothing* to stem enemy numbers.

And don't get me started on the damn Harvesters. Those things were clearly on discounted production because they were coming and getting beamed in 2 to 3 at a time.

I used the Rocket Pad Sentry, Guard Dog backpack, Napalm Barrage (that was the only thing that gave us some breathing room to fight) and the Laser Cannon support weapon (not the chargeable, the constant beam one. I'm terrible with names.)

So I ask, how does one deal with it, even with 4 people?

I've yet to run melee in hd2, or really any shooting game. Any stories or experiences would be greatly appreciated, I'll be trying it regardless but the coolest thing about this game is the ever evolving shared Canon lore.

No, Super Earth didn't install a mini warp pack inside the bolt to keep it from protruding out the back. That'd be hella expensive and unsafe! So behold, the latest ground-breaking innovation in the field of firearms research and development. We have the galaxy's first ultra-compact bolt mechanism, all thanks to the efforts of the Ministry of Defense.

I'm perfectly fine with being crucified by the experts over my design. I'm a personal trainer, y'all! I make people's weight go down.

QUESTION I have a question about edicit regarding taking peoples stuff.

• Upvotes

I have uh 247 hours in the game, level 98, so im not new and, it was my belief and understanding that if someone calls in a strategem, in my case, the warp pack which is nessacery since I had heavy armor and, its why I brung it, that, nobody should take it.

(I SPECIFICALLY MEAN AT THE START OF THE MATCH SINCE PEOPLE CANNOT READ, WHERE WE ALL CALL DOWN OUR STUFF AFTER WE LAND.)Ive had a few times where, people level 40, 60, sometimes over 100-take my stuff. Or I die, and they take all my stuff or, they take my mech when its still usable and I dont have my cooldowns back.

Nornally i just tk them, or kick them if i am the host, yet I am sometimes told "you coulda just asked bro".

I want peoples opinion because to me its, a very rude thing that a minute into the game i call down stuff and you instantly take it. Why the fk do i have to ask I clearly, got my own strategem-for me.

So am i rude for near instantly team killing/kicking anyone who takes my stuff UNLESS they pick it up as im calling in a spare/they found it in the middle of the game cus maybe I died somewhere and didnt pick it back up (cus thats fine its a very different situation)

I know some of you mad lads have done it and now I wanna try it. I am thinking ballistic shield, rock solid light armor, but i haven’t settled on a melee weapon. Machete for damage or saber for speed. What do all think? Tell me what your build was, too.
