I highly recommend getting the Expendable Anti-Tank and Eagle Airstrike early on as nothing is worse than having to face down a Charger or Walkers while unlocking difficulties with little more than some HE Grenades and an Orbital Precision Strike on a 100s cooldown.

@GiovanniMinotte Ай бұрын

I think the Recoilless rifle is a better option than the expendable as you can reload it and if you hit a charger in the head with it its a 1 shot kill

I would recommend if u Play Solo to complete the Mission First. Even if u die and fail to extract u get all the rewards regardless of the extraction succes.

I hadn't had personal misions for days... only the global defense campaigns

@overthrone3494 4 ай бұрын

So my personal strategy is to u lock all the stratagems that cost 1500 r. Personally I run a machine gun sentry a grenade launcher orbital precision and the basic eagle airstrike. That way you have things to rotate between from every category with less overlap. Not that it isn’t good to have choices for support weapons but since you can only hold 1 a time it probably isn’t the smartest thing to do early game. I chose these cause they cost the least so I can save my currency for all the level 10 u lock stratagems. It’s my second day playing and I’m level 6 rn

What I don’t get is it’s a 4 coop game but when I hover over to a planet it’ll say 40000 hell divers on the map. And when I click on one of the planet itself with the different mission , itll usually have only 1/4 players for each mission on that planet. Obviously there isn’t 4000 players playing on one planet. So I’m just so confused on how that works

I'd buy the weapons, you have to spend them to unlock the next tier, and that number grows, so you can't just save them for the big end stuff. It's going to force you to even buy the emotes unless you go for the big stuff first. And I would definitely buy the ones that give you that blue super currency, that's the currency that costs real money but you can get it like that, you only need 1000 to buy the premium pass. That's the way to do it the free way without spending real money on it. Unless you want to save them till they rotate out the entire line up down the road and just skip these items, but eh for me idk how long term I'm going to play this game and who knows when it will change

I don’t understand the praise this game gets. It’s unbelievably boring. The progression is just slightly different looking gear and different weapons or bombs to use in the same gameplay loop. Edit: it’s also extremely easy even on harder difficulty if you’ve played any competitive fps game
