I used it but then switched to the extra stims armor.
They both increase survivability but I feel like extra stims is more reliable, and also saves you from fire damage due to the faster healing

Any reason why I have never encountered a bile titan or factory strider? Been playing on 6/7, so they should show up, right?
I've been using one of them since the game launched. Love that ability. It's saved me more times than I can count. Even from absurd situations that I absolutely shouldn't survive. I'm honestly hard pressed to want to switch to any other armor because of it.
gotta be honest, it's a bit like the shield backpack: it helps when you learn the game but as you get more experienced it's kinda just more of a crutch?
so you want to rather go with something that fits your playstyle more or helps in other ways
I personally love the -30% on crouch and prone stuff and pair it with 50% explosive resist against bots and +2 grenades against bugs
I've been using that since I unlocked it but not really for the passive, it's partly for the drip, and partly because it takes the most amount of grinding to get lol
Started noticed more people wearing the same combo as me, it just looks so clean
If there were more interesting armour passives that actually changed your playstyle I'd be more likely to switch it up, but as it stands they all just offer minor benefits.
Plasma Punisher and Grenade Pistaol do similar thing depending on where in the blast radius you get hit. It's usually the range that your character feels it but isn't doing much damage. Eruptor is more evident because the radius is larger. I think they have a bug in their animation states.
I don't agree that the shield backpack and the Democracy Protects perk are crutches. Having everyone in your squad run shields is a bad choice because you'll run low on firepower, but having a dedicated SSSD runner and/or sample grabber with a shield is a great way to enhance consistency. The fact the shield prevents slowdowns is massive. One teammate bringing shields can be enough for everyone in the squad to have one by the end of a long mission, and they can bring other stratagems to use, like more eagles or orbitals instead of everyone bringing a shield. Democracy Protects can let you do silly things like shoot a hellbomb point blank while being swarmed and live. It's not 100% reliable but there's enough funny situations to make it worthwhile.

I am one item away from completing the base warbond. Legit cannot believe I've been rocking this game almost daily for 2 months. Just nuts for me. Have been lucky enough not to be TK-ed on purpose or griefed (helps that I have a deep lady voice, I think). Made some cool new buds and deepened some friendships with old friends. Feels odd to be a 40+ year old woman gushing over a videogame, but I really love this dang game.
The only thing that would make this better would be the reinforce available wobbling every 5 seconds.
I don't usually complain on comms because I play with randoms but yesterday me and a dude were struggling so hard to shut down a jammer and one of the two dead guys kept spamming REINFORCE constantly the entire time until I took a second to unmute and say dude, clearly you can see we are jammed, right?
Everyone has their skillset in the game I think but my secret strength is the ability to rambo up a base solo and shut down jammers. My skill is definitely not taking out hulks, I have a 0.004% kill rate against them. I did just learn that their front eyeball thing is in fact invulnerable to the Erupter and AMR so the thousands and thousands of rounds I spent trying were indeed a total waste of time. I guess I'll try that trick of shooting between their legs with the Eruptor to get some of the shrapnel to hit their backs.... it literally can't be less effective than what I do now.
Hulk eyes are NOT immune to AMR. It's possible you were missing your shots due to the scope being misaligned.
Biles definitely show up on 7s and I think on 6. I have yet to see a Factory yet, but I'm hoping to soon since they've upped their spawn rate it sounds like.
Autocannon can also kill Hulks by hitting their face just right but it's a lot more dangerous because when you miss your shot reflects and explodes elsewhere, potentially on you or your teammates lol
Boo, seems like the whole game went down. We were doing so well, not a single death and wrecking bots left and right. The fabricators are amazing!
Ya, I was like 80% done with an Impossible bot mission with a good squad, it felt bad.
it's steam maintenance, like every tuesday at the same time
steam maintenance tuesday. Never play around this time because game will kick you out
How do I collect the 55 medals? Son just logged in and he didn't receive anything?
major order medals always go out in batches and take a long time to get sent
it can take multiple days
It's truly one of the most bizarre maintenance things in tech. There are always posts everywhere on Tuesdays asking why games aren't working or why Steam is down, and there are countless other posts reminding everyone about Tuesday maintenance, like it's some shared secret. Steam has tens of millions of concurrent users now, you'd think they'd at least put out a warning notification or something before just booting their entire userbase.
So is there some sort of infinite grenades cheat? Swear two people in this last game were doing it.
It's an exploit that can be extremely easily done once you have seen it
This is exactly how I roll. Hopefully someday we can get loadouts to make it a little easier to swap between broad strategies for different factions.

Once I tried the extended throw perk I can't go back lol, I can airstrike from so far away
Me and my buddy finally got to a high enough difficulty to run into one of the factory walkers and jesus christ was that a blast lol
This armor is one of my mains now honestly. It absolutely works and its a free diceroll on a killing hit. 50% odds is damn good and I soon noticed the difference when I switched off. It gives you an extra chance to make your way out situations or fix a dumb mistake. Surviving the rando Turret Blast feels more forgiving. I think its actually a great armor for a new player or some looking to test things out. To maximize its use, you have to be conservative with your stim usage.
Guide on the AT AT walkers. Seem to be the inverse biletitan, where support weapons seem better to deal with it than stratagems.

thanks a lot
unloading a magazine of the autocannon into its belly worked like a charm
Hah! Exact same thing happened to me the other night. The person died and was literally pressing the reinforce button within two seconds even though we were next to a jammer. In the end I did the same thing and went on comms to tell them we can't reinforce because of the jammer.
But yeah, the amount of people that refuse to wait more than 0.1 seconds before they're called back into the fray is ridiculous. I can understand when it's been 10+ seconds and things have calmed down as people may not have noticed, which I'll admit has happened to me, but this spamming the button straight away when it's clear everyone's in the middle of a firefight is just infuriating., especially when they died in said firefight!
What's just as infuriating is when you get a lone ranger on the other side of the map and then when you die they call you in so you end up miles away from where you need to be and without access to all support gear.
Using the ballistic shield + SMG + Sniper rifle is kinda fun against bots, but I made the mistake of testing it out on a planet where we're down one Stratagem slot đź’€
Can anyone confirm if having the shield on your back still protects you from getting shot from behind?

It does. But in 3 stratagems situations it's a bad idea to waste one on it imo.
From the official discord, they are aware it's not working, but haven't announced a fix for it yet.
LMAO. I am living for that Starfox intro.
Is there any way to run the MG on higher difficulties? It runs out of ammo fast and missing the quasar or autocannon doesn't feel too good. On the other hand, the MG and Stalwart are literal dopamine suppliers.
Does anyone have any recommendations for free video-editing software, I've got a tonne of footage that i'd like to try and splice together into a YT video but don't really know where to start.
Da Vinci Resolve has a free version if you want to check it out. Can be quite a bit of a learning curve though but I think the free version has everything you need
If you want something that's free that doesn't require any kind of signups that can do stuff beyond just slicing the file, OpenShot is a good one and it's quick to learn if you have the most basic level of computer literacy.
I learned openshot and threw together a trailer for my game in a day so it's definitely fine for your use case I'd say
