Yeah that's fast, but it's still clunky, and you can't have your good weapons out while doing it, have to slow to a crawl when you pull out the heavy shit to actually deal damage

One dual lance or whatever it is and one gun works

>they dont know

One of my best friends as a Fencer is the Vulcan Hammer. Its full charge damage is amazing.

>Finally living out your Starship Trooper fantasies

I fucking love EDF games

how do i do 15 on hard? what causes the tunnel exits to die?

You have to destroy them.

>npcs all dead again
>its just you, your shield, and a spear

f

>tfw playing Wing Diver and destroying all the tunnels and ships by yourself because your team can't into fucking pushing.

do explosives not work? or do they have a shit ton of health

They have quite a bit of health. You just gotta pound into them

You should be able to one shot them with vulcan hammer as fencer.

Caught this Civi getting fucking destroyed

Powering up a Ranger, anyone up for going from the start on Hard?

Seriously, playing Fencer is the most fun I've had with video games in years. God bless the Japs.

Any fencers with Levi wanna farm inferno?

What's the highest damage weapon in the game other then the "single use" stuff?

N U K E

>yfw some people never hit the skybox

Is there a way to upgrade flight time/energy capacity for Wing Diver? Trying out all classes and hate the energy management

Nope.

Best thing for Wingdivers to do is to use weapons that recharge once to fill their magazine, and then only drain energy again when they recharge. That way you can use all your energy for flying around and dogding shit, while you gun isnt burning off your energy constantly

The guns that drain energy every time you shoot mostly suck ass, except for those huge plasma grenade launchers which are pretty great to have for hordes of bugs.

>all these pointless copy pasted artillery drops just taking up space in Air Raiders inventory

>hmm, maybe they are useful? Why would they have so many of them?
>blast radius 10m
>enemies have already run past tiny blast area by time the attack comes in

Howitzer master races. Muh 100m wide city leveling attack.

Also those fucking huge ICBMs you can call in and flay around with the laser guide are pretty fucking sweet too.

>oh look, several hectors together
>hope you guys like a tactical nuke

Charon bomber C for life
Stripes of death are the best

Best level to farm inferno?

Landfall -> Crimson

Not that user but what about farming for the best weapons?

>playing as Air Raider
>the mission where the shield bearers are introduced
>that one faggot shield bearer that runs away so fast and regroups with another before I can kill it
>retry the mission several times and always get killed because with the two shield bearers combined, I can't do shit against the hectors
>bring C4 explosives
>plant it on the shield bearer
>set them off as it's running away and destroy it
>proceed to steamroll the lone shield bearer and the hectors with a vegalta

Goddamn I love this game. It looks simple on the surface, but the sandbox levels, the loose mission design and the crazy variety of weapons and equipment lead to so many tactical options and emergent gameplay.

>trying to drive the fucking motor cycles

Why would they even put these in the game like this?

Its like the wheels are totally frictionless.

After that it's different choices. Death Queen and that one DLC mission are good.

DLC mission? We can play the DLC on PC?

Not yet but it's supposed to come out soonish

Fair enough. Wouldn't be surprised if the files were in already though.

Does the DLC add any climatic fights or is it just mutants?

It's balls to the walls ultra hard missions with insane enemy compositions and placements.

>leviathan requires 25 second lock on AND an air raider laser
>air raider nuke has a massive cooldown
>ranger stampede is good aoe but not for single target or long range
>meanwhile wing diver gets a sniper rifle that does 50,000 damage and only needs a suit recharge to fire again

Damn wing diver is OP

Cannon D has the highest damage output per shot.

150,000, not 50,000. It shots 3 beams of 50k damage each.

What class is that?

AR.

Leviathan has 4s lock with 6x lock speed guidance kit
Tempest needs a while to recharge yeah but it's a fucking 100m radius blast
Ranger has Lysander and Stringer for single targets.
Gungnir needs 720% to recharge so you need 7 full recharges. Can be cut down to like 30s with plasma charger

If a teammate picks up a weapon crate, do I get it too?

Yes. Same for armor.

>had some faggot yelling at me for "stealing" his weapon crates even though i told him we both get weapons for it

If you read the description they are just for drifting practice. Other motorcycles do work

>do inferno mission
>fuck yeah green boxes errywhere
>mission loot screen
>around 10 new weapons oh boy

>its all around level 10-15 garbage weapons

>one new gun at level 30 something
>Dynastrike Z or whatever the fuck its called
>basically an auto shotgun for Wingdiver that fires 4 times super fast and uses my entire energy bar
>completely worthless

Gettin real sick of all the retarded garbage weapons in the game. I know it can be tough to have like 1000 weapons and have them all be useful without just being the same guns with higher and lower stats, but come the fuck on.

>"Hurr, lets just add some guns that are completely worthless to the game. Like so totally useless that people wonder why we went through the effort of adding it at all! Genius!"

nigger there are like 90 missions you gun have to get ur grind on son, welcome to the suck

I'm new to EDF
What can I expect?

Unholy clusterfuck of clipping enemy units. It will grow on you, though.

glorious guns, great times and the eternal grind to dankness multiplayer too if your not a xeno lover

Really hope this game gets some sort of mod support. It'd be perfect.

Currently doing the mission after killing the ant queen and having a bit of an issue. Does the ship target a random area on the field, or is it targeted at certain areas? Because it seems rather ridiculous that you can get screwed over by a 1HKO weapon at any given moment.

thank you, i was trying to remember the words to this

>it's that mission where bees first appear
>team starts spamming confused/surprise emotes like "What?" "It shouldn't have happened" along with HQ and soldier chatter going "Impossible! Giant insects can't fly!" and "Giant Insects fly now? I'll never be as surprised again!"

It hits the center of the field. Just go in circle around the edges of the map not through center.

>they have dragons now

Thanks!

Dragons were in the ps3 version too

Anyone know if the controller support is actually good or do i have to use a mouse or keyboard at any point, even if only in menus?

i know this is a port so there wouldn't be any drastic changes for pc but i look at the co-op and all i can think of is a 64 man difficulty spiked server

i play with a X1 controller and it works great
my buddys controller wasnt reconised but a controller emulater cleared that right up

There seems to be zero interest. I was hoping for model swaps.

kbm is waaaaaaaaaaay better than controller since this is a shooter.

i ise controller because its better for vehicals

>Just realized you can cancel out of a recoil stagger by swapping weapon

Ohhhhhhhhhhh yeeeeesssssssssssss...

the Thunder Snipers are absolutely based for clearing tunnels, since the bolts can travel along walls for a very long time and harm enemies that are near the projectile.

>spend 20 minutes on a single map

>Spend another 15 minutes on the map
>Another person is in a dire spot, three of us dead, but might be able to get a revive off
>RM restarts the map
It's like a "that kid" fucking simulator

>Been using Air Divers because butt
>Switch to air raider
>get a battle suit

Holy fuck tell me vehicles stay relevant. This shit is fun as hell.

I have the opposite problem where 3 people are dead but there is wing diver flying around and being chased by like 50 UFOs and the RM doesn't restart even though the wing diver has no chance. So we wait 3 minutes while the wing diver slowly gets whittled down.

>drop a 50k hp fortress on legs
>Inferno mode
>goes kablooey in sub-10 seconds

Not only do they stay relevant they get better handling and speed with higher variants.

how in the fuck can i beat mission 17 with a ranger?

They do but the tanks are the best vehicles most of the time.

Anyone feel like walking me through how to get coop running with spacewar?

>Flamethrower Alpha drops on one of my first farming runs as Ranger

well!

When you make your room, use the arrow keys/the D-pad menu to send out invites. It uses steam once you get that far.

Oh thank god. I picked up the DLC mech, but it turns handles glacially slowly. It's fun as hell, but good to know it gets better.

Didn't get a response last thread, but I'm stuck on mission 33 as a ranger on hard. Is the Genocide Cannon RNG aimed or is there a tell? I keep nearly finishing the mission before getting fuckin 1 shotted by the mothership

There is a tell. Don't stay under it.

What's the tell?

Don't stay under it. You don't need to and it goes away at some point anyway.

I think they were all pissed after me but couldn't tell me.

I hope someone mods in a Pale Wing skin for Wing Divers. I was a bit disappointed when HQ called in "Pale Team" and they turned out to just be regular Wing Divers with better than average guns.

Anyone want to start a play through online?

What difficulty?

I don't mind, whatever difficulty anyone would like to play on

Does anyone know what this means in SSE?
It's def pointed to the right directory.

What the flying flippiti fuck is that?
