Finally got some bug time in now that the Automatons have been taught a lesson in Managed Democracy™ and, man, there's no better feeling than a giant laser being shot through the head of a rampaging Charger as it closes in on you.
Anybody else get an issue after peeing someone where letter, not all, within weekend just vanish?
The automatons are trying to infiltrate our way of life, quickly, somebody call the Ministry of Truth.
This is the 10 minute one that I watched. Did the trick perfectly, I was a little confused starting out.
One of the better parts of the game is how it eases you in on easy difficulties and ramps it up as you want. There are 9 difficulties, so there is a place to learn stuff and nobody expects anything out of you.

Do servers really seem shitty for everyone on Mondays?
Not the first time for us, but tonight's play session was a total shit show (3 PCs, 1x PS5). Constant drops, server lag causing unachieveable objectives, etc.
We generally have a good time, but I think this is at least the third Monday night we experience severe server problems.

Yeah I've had this before. I think it was a driver issue and I needed to update
I had this same issue after peeing... or was it that Nvidia driver updates?
It was (maybe still is) and issue with Nvidia drivers and this game. The issue I had was when Control Center updated to newer drivers and I would get the random letters disappearing. A quick roll back once version didn't fix it either. I ended up going back to 31.0.15.4665 and that has fixed the issue. I haven't updated since as I haven't seen a patch note saying it has been resolved. If you move forward in the drivers and don't get the issue, please report back. It wasn't a problem that happened right away and it took a day or so to manifest when I last updated it.
Grenade Pistol + Ballistic Shield is tons of fun for bots. Striders and Heavy Devastators can't do anything to you and you can one or two shot multiple of them at the same time depending on your aim and their proximity to each other.
I also messed around with the Crossbow. Seems surprisingly decent for crowd control, but then I question why you wouldn't just use the Eruptor instead? But it was good enough to use on diff 7, and I can't imagine it wouldn't be on 9, too. It seems suboptimal but not unusable.

Does anyone know if Super Samples can spawn behind buddy doors? Just wrapped up a level 7 where we scoured the map and couldn't find them. The only thing that stuck out was a buddy door I wasn't able to open.
I'm guessing they're always with the large rock and we somehow just missed it, lol.

I don't believe so. I've only ever seen it spawns from the chicken drumstick
Any sample inside the door or container are bonus samples that aren't part of the total number displayed, so no. For example, if you collected all the rares on the field but also found one in the container the game would actually show 29/28 as the total.
can anyone confirm the 'superior packing methology' ship upgrade actually works? I've a person say it wasn't working for them.
From the official discord, they are aware it's not working, but haven't announced a fix for it yet.
I'm not particularly creative or experimental when it comes to loadouts, so I think the grenade pistol is my favorite item from the new warbond. Like I almost never used my sidearm before (at the point I have to resort to it, I'm usually too overwhelmed for it to help), so it's nice to make use of that one last resource. I like using it to open up hunkered-down armored bugs, or stunning things so I have an opportunity to run away and regroup..
Crossbow can be used in stealth contexts but has very little armor penetration and can't destroy fabricators/bug holes
If you turn on your sample inventory in the menu settings, it will show the totals collected and total available on the map. Supers are on all missions over 7 (minus the eridicate and defense ones). The super sample rock is always the same basic shape; but, the game throws some curve balls at you where it can be more closely resembling the "false" sample rocks. The false ones are usually somewhat malformed. Sometimes the false only has one side that is not the proper shape and other times it can have webbing on it. They can be a pain to find on maps with heavy spores/haze or the maps with big mountains. I've even found the sample rock buried in a low spot on map where you couldn't see it from the "regular" ground level. They are sneaky buggers sometimes.
Best strategies are:
- Bug planets are easier to search and extract from for most players.
- Best armour for bugs is light and that comes in the stealth variety. It's what I wear for every bug mission. It's so easy to stay out of combat. *Also with the stealth perk, you can get in and most importantly out of combat so easily by simply running.
- If your group/team is struggling to stay alive with the samples, designate one person to carry them. Have everyone drop theirs before extract and the runner picks them up and leaves the area. They wait until the shuttle is coming down (actually in the sky dropping) before heading in and simply runs straight to the ship.
- Pick a planet that has good visibility.
- Use every chance you have an unobstructed view to look around.
- Steer high on a hillside, even if it's a bit out of the way, to get a better vantage point to look.
- If the map has a radar, the sample rock is a point of interest, so use it to guide you to places you haven't been to yet.
- Although this seems like a no-brainer concept... do the main objectives on the map and only the ancillary objectives directly in your paths to them to get the mission done. Then spread out on the way to extract to sweep your way around the place to finsh things up. That way you have the greatest amount of time to search when you are done.
- The blitz maps and surprisingly enough the very hated essential personel mission are great ways to get supers. The maps are small and have the samples.
I reached the sample caps again yesterday after upgrading the destroyer, so if you ever need any help farming samples - let me know. My niece and I just did 3 campaigns in a row and we left each mission with all the supers and 90% of all the rares on each of the maps. I find the risk/reward of doing the sample farming on Helldive worth it; but, you can always step down the difficulty as needed if you can't make it to the Pelican.
Good luck.
Had a weird experience last night and don't know if I was just unlucky but literally every game I started in had us swamped with enemies within 20 seconds. I mean like proper wave after after wave swamped. I've had that before but randomly, this time though it was literally every game I played apart from the first one. Must have been 5-6 in a row where we dropped in and were immediately swarmed with devastators, hulks and even tanks!
On the plus side, hopped on briefly this morning to mop up my 50 mine kills personal order!

I do appreciate the crash fixes... But I do hope they finally getting the "known issues" list smaller, I swear it's only getting bigger over time with some on the list for a month+.
Damn, from someone in the comments it's even on only difficulty 4. As someone who has never seen one before I'm definitely gonna give this a try.
whyyy, it's already crazy enough 😭
Having them mission specific seems cool tho.
Also, damn I wish we got some campaings where all factions are fighting, imagine Divers vs Bugs vs Automatons. Bile Titan vs Factory Strider with 4x 500kg bombs in the mix, I'd love to see that.
I have never seen a factory strider before today and many others havent either so the spawn rate was definitely not high haha
Just had my first encounter with a factory strider, the team of randoms i was in dsalt with them so quickly i didn't really see much of what they can do.
Any strats for taking them down?

just had the eruptor explosion push my character under the terrain, causing my death, twice in a row. when the same thing happened to me with randoms the other night i assumed it was some sort of server jankiness due to not being the host (as seems to be the case for some other bugs) but this happened during a solo run. kinda frustrating - i'm assuming the janky physics that push you forwards instead of backwards from the explosion can also push downwards instead of upwards, resulting in you clipping through the ground.
this diver just casually dodging a tower blast with the Spear reload animation
oh yeah me neither, I meant the bots are already crazy enough without some tin camel poppin' up and causing shit to be even more wild lol
I'd imagine it's equivalent to 'Eliminate Bile Titans', which is only available on relatively low difficulties if I remember rightly.
the factory strider mission apparently starts at diff 5 and goes up to diff 9
