Alright, I'm taking no blame for the ending on this one, this one's squarely on you Joel.
This run was...almost too smooth until then. I was expecting the more open desert environment to make things a little harder for stealth, but the lowered visibility in the sandstorm and nighttime helped a lot. Was missing a stratagem, but had a free Jetpack as part of the op, and boy was it a gamechanger, letting me sneak right over base walls without alerting the garrison. Finished every objective and outpost with barely any engagements and plenty of time to spare, so of course the game had to throw a spanner in the works...
______________
Build:
Pretty much the same setup as my last Automaton stealth run, using the AMR as our all-purpose support weapon, capable of taking out Trooper patrols, Walkers, Devastator 1-shots, and Hulk 2-shots, with the Diligence and Senator also capable of 1-shotting troopers.
For stratagems, I had the ever reliable Eagle Airstrike for taking out grouped objectives, and the Orbital Laser for clearing entire bases - not only will it kill enemies, it will go after fabricators and objectives like the dropships too.
The Jetpack was the real difference, opening up all new stealth opportunities by bypassing the guarded entrances of bot outposts. Mine came free with the Operation, but I'll be taking it on more bot stealth runs from now on, it's amazing.
Switched things up with the armour, using the Combat Tech medium armour with the reduced enemy detection range and improved radar that's crucial for stealth runs, with the Radar Booster as well. While you do feel the missing speed and stamina vs the Trailblazer Scout, the extra armour can prove useful for some extra survivability. And yes I took it because the colours match the desert a little better.

John Helldiver would have taken a more direct approach. I heard he once cleared out an entire heavy outpost. Then he got out of his hellpod. This is more like Solid Snake.

It happened to me for the first time a couple days ago, I was 20 seconds from extraction and the game said “you know those 42 minutes you’ve been doing this mission? Yeah that’s all down the drain. No refunds” They should treat it like dying if you crash, you get all the benefits except for extraction so you don’t get cheated out of the compensation.

I’ve now taken to bringing the spear to solo bot missions, it can destroy factories, hulks (usually, sometimes it decides to be stupid and not one shot what it should one shot), tanks, and defense cannons… also jammers… that’s pretty useful I guess. It’s extremely useful, but the spear sometimes doesn’t like to lock on the *giant, unmoving target* and is extremely frustrating. And with it I bring rail cannon, 110mm rocket pods, and airstrike so I never have to go inside of a fortress because they’re an absolute pain to storm

Congrats! For Automatons, yeah, the laser will take out way more, and for solo stealth runs the 3 uses should be enough. 500kg still has a niche for taking out Distractor Beacons without calling down a Hellbomb tho. 500kg better for killing bile titans on bug missions too.

@lukes101010 3 ай бұрын

Does you happen to know what are the requirements for a bot drop, I play very similarly however when I’ve snuck into compounds and shoot a lone gunner a bot drop is called in by another bot on the far side. Similarly you don’t seem to get as many bot drops when throwing air strikes into compounds to take out fabricators, and I feel like it’s very random if that causes a bot drop or not.

@newspiked7385 3 ай бұрын

It's honestly a little random for me as well sometimes. The situation you described shouldn't really happen though unless another guard is watching the gunner you shot, or they're close enough to hear your shot. Another thing I've noticed, and this may be placebo, is that once you've been spotted, if you go aggressive and engage them in combat, they seem less likely to try and raise the alarm, whereas if you try and retreat and end up somewhere where they can't shoot you or immediately start a combat routine, they're more likely to call the bot drop. May just be that by going aggressive, you're killing them all before they can call the bot drop tho, who knows.

At long distances, try and aim slightly down and to the right of where you want to hit, as the actual zero is up and to the left of the crosshairs. I've heard you can turn on a crosshair function in steam overlay, but I've never tried it myself. For close targets it doesn't make a big difference, you can just use the crosshairs.
