Don't forget the Rover backpack and flamethrower!

Hopefully they launch this with some flame proof armor.

Arc thrower = teammate deleter

[–] ThunderclapSasquatch@startrek.website 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Only if you can't aim, I use it as my primary weapon and go days between arc thrower incidents

[–] Fridgeratr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm glad you're good with it. I was in a group where the arc thrower user killed me 4 times in one mission. Granted I should have learned to stay away from him but still, sheesh

Also, don't hump the chargers, we're trying to kill them.

I haven't played with randoms much, but no one I've matched with pings their sentries. Would be nice to know there's death from above before I'm turned to red mist.

The mortar sentry isn't really that bad if you actually pay attention to it.

Like if you see a mortar, maybe try not being in the center of a swarm? Just run away from groups and you'll be fine.

"Just run away from groups." -Guys who use mortars and never cover teammates doing terminals, who end up dying to mortar strikes.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I just do the terminal in between waves 😁

Waste of time

There's two kinds of people. Those who love mortars..

and those dead guys over there.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Them EMP mortars are absolute life savers though, I can go either way with the munitions version.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ultimate team kill loadout lol I’ve taken to just shooting peoples mortars when they put them down on bug missions. That thing is only safe on bot missions

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm just waiting for them to give us a flamethrower rover...

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

That’s going to be even more of a suicide machine than the laser one lol the laser already décapitates me at least once per level even if I watch it closer than I watch the bugs
