I mean, it's a pretty fun looking Major Order. Just kill shit, farm them up, it might subtly change the play styles a bit too
While we have 6 days, it's gonna be completed way, way faster than that. It's already at 1% and that's while player count is relatively low because the Americas are at sleep. Probably will take less than 2 days if I had to guess.
Add a Detector tower to the mix and you have the perfect "FUCK YOU" situation.
Edit : Also this new Major Order is SO Super Earth "We used a whole lotta oil, go kill 2 billion bugs so we can make more!".
Opposite for me
The bugs have 3 units that are just super annoying to deal with, the charger, spewer and bile titan and the other units are complete whatever
Meanwhile the bots feel much more engaging to me with all their units having different weakpoints and working together tactically against you
It's just nice to have something different than capture a planet.
Really should have been like 10 billion if Arrowhead wanted this to take multiple days.
To be fair it's probably a skill issue for me, more than anything.
Bot feel just a bit too bullet-spongey to me. Or rather, there's too many different armoured units and I haven't found a load out which really clicks for them yet.
I'm only level 12, so I'll probably get to grips with overcoming their armour in due time, when I've got wider options for armour-penetrating weapons, but as it stands, it feels like I'm always on the back-foot, trying to create space as they advance on me with armoured units that I struggle to take out.
I've just invested in the Autocannon, so maybe that'll be the answer I'm looking for 😅
Don't sleep on the Laser Cannon. It's great for dealing with armored targets if you focus on weak points.
the autocannon is the best support weapon in the game and the strongest weapon against the bots
the laser cannon against bots comes right after that
you'll see how much more manageable their bigger units will be now
as for armor penetration on a primary, you don't really need that for bots cause they all have their heads as weakspots and smaller bots don't even have any armor at all
Can you imagine the fallout with the DoT bug still in place?
People would lose their minds.

"Okay kill it now."

This is the worst part of the game. Limited the stratagems just makes it way less fun. I quickplayed into one of those games last night and it was just not fun.
Thanks, I knew they take time. I was more worried about the current one being completed before I got home from work.
What an odd MO. Surely they've got enough data to realize we'd finish that order in a day or so.
think you just need to log in and see the new major order.
theres a few major order in the past that 100% the planets before i can even participate. they still payout for me after the order time expire
Went back to try older primarys
Slugger - This thing still kicks. While its fatal flaw is the lack of stagger, The Slugger still kicks like a mule and can bring things down rather quick. I did still find moments where Im killed by the Bile Spewer because I couldn't stop the acid throw. That's why stagger is still important. Still cant fully invest for that exact reason.
Breaker - OG Breaker is actually still decent too. You still lose the mag capacity but I always make my shots counts so it has less of an effect for me than it would for someone else. I would actually say Breaker is still pretty usable right now. Its definitely fast and can get you out of a pinch with a full mag.
Adjudicator - For some reason.... Im starting to come around on this weapon. I still think it needs a basic damage buff but the theme of this gun truly is versatility. Its very useful to have far-mid range shots and then switch to Semi for close range. This one seems better for bugs than bots.
Gonna give the Standard Liberator another shot.
