I am very hype for this patch! One friend I play with has been very annoyed at how hard it is to handle chargers. Now that they are going to spawn less AND are easier to kill (1 EAT or Recoilless directly to the face) he should be much more interested.
We were also gone this weekend (learned how to ski, fun times!) so we haven’t had much time to try the mechs yet. I played a level 4 mission with one last night and they seem to be in a good spot. They are very powerful as long as they have ammo and the amount of ammo they have is a good amount to where you can clear a few waves/bugs before they run out (of course, this was at level 4. The experience may differ at higher levels, will try that out later this week…).
I’ve been playing Darktide for half a year so I decided to give this game a try.
What.the.fuck.
I get kicked from every game, no one says a damn thing and I have no idea what’s even happening.
Back to playing solo it is then.
Yeah, sometimes people forget they have their party set to open (or don’t know how to turn it off). I have started setting my lobby to open and picking a mission myself.
For me I cant accept the friends requests from my friends. Steam forums for the game suggest just kicking people until your ffiend can find your game. Ive only played it solo because I have3n5 been able to play with friends yet.
If you join a game from your friends list in Steam, it works every time. Haven’t yet gotten the in game social menu to work properly.
From the patch notes:
Some people are unable to accept friend requests. This is mostly an issue cross platform
My issue is that I’m trying to play the game with some friends who don’t have PCs, and I don’t have a PS5. So “join from friends list in Steam” isn’t an option.
Hello fellow Reject.
Matchmaking is spotty at times but usually if I log in, people hop on to my ship. Quick matchmaking tends to work fine usually as well. Sure they at times insta kick me as well its not too often.
I start a map and go into pod, 1 min later it’s a full group. If you kick/afk after a map, you need to restart to get the matchmaking working again.
That said, if I want to join, the quickplay works almost always, and if not, just restart. I think the amount of players online is giving them some desync issues.
TBF, mine’s CTDing at map load (atmo drop sequence) ever since the mech patch. 🤷🏼♂️ I haven’t been able to play in days. 😢
On the other hand, I’m rounding the bend on a Kill Team squad of printed Helldivers to get to the table this weekend. 🤪
If you don’t know what to do, dive and dive again. And again. And again. And again. And again.
They mention recoiless and EAT being able to single shot chargers. I assume this goes for mech rockets as well becuase last I heard they were almost identical to EAT.
They have, in my experience, a slightly lower damage, or it’s just harder to hit the sweetspot.
Yea, seems it’s still best to hit a front leg to strip armor and hit it with a couple seconds of mini gun.
The other night, I saw a dropship slide across the ground. I thought my squadmate had shot it down. Looked a lot cooler than them blowing up in the air.
