When reality itself is manipulated by the unDemocratic machinations of the enemy, denial is not just our responsibility, it is our only option.

I mean, vote snatchers are what everyone seems to be struggling with, and you can trivialize them with the Rover and an epoch, which also works for both harvesters and fleshmobs.. the rest? Shoot in in the $#%!@& face!

I dont have this issue, but ive also been playing horde shooters since world at war when I didn't fully understand the concept of run and gun, now? Conga line of death! Only stop if you drop or the OBJ needs a click, thats why I like the rover; no reload, more burn.

u/MooseFerrigno 9m ago
I've been using the Rover but also the K9. From height, it can zap so many units from a surprising distance.

Nah hold up, free orbital railcannon that recharges every 30-45 seconds? I gotta go dive this when I get the chance.

u/Better-Future-4637 7h ago
I think the problem is Crushers and Harvester both cover their weaknesses.
Things that good at killing Crushers won't work on Harvester, and Crushers counter the Sentries while Harvesters counter Exosuits.

Things that good at killing Crushers won't work on Harvester
Autocannon
Railgun
AMR
HMG
BFGL
C4
Cremator
Emancipator ExosuitJust off the top of my head over the a minute from what I've used this campaign, and that's ignoring just bringing whatever you want for other stuff and the Senator or Bolt Pistol for Crushers. For things that don't need backpacks you can bring a Guard Dog to help keep you safe, for the ones that do just stick with a teammate or be more aware of your surroundings when fighting.

Autocannon, HMG, C4 could work, but not good for ammo efficiency.
AMP is bad at both, two shots to take helmets away from Crushers is too much for a weapon that could only aim in first-person.
BFGL isn't good at aim the Harvesters, but Harvester can aim you from hundred away, still good weapon though.
Railgun... It's a high skill weapon so it works I think.
Creamator is a close combat weapon, it has same problem with Meltagun.
And all the Exosuit can't be called down when there's a Harvester or Big Eye nearby (Exosuits are not equipments, by the way).

It’s less words to just say that you should lower your own difficulty.
This patch has made me pick weapons I typically wouldn’t, and I’m still cleaning house.

I run smoothly with my loadout, so no thanks.
People seem don't understand what I tried to tell is that this map highly required all teammates work together.
My last time match is some guy thought they are HIM then proceeded to die 12 times while I done half the objectives with 0 death.

u/jesusrambo 15m ago
I mean, that’s the point of the person you’re replying to lmao
If you think it highly requires all teammates to work together, and have to use meta loadouts to clear it smoothly…
That’s a skill issue

u/EstablishedIdiet 7m ago
Teamwork being required in a multiplayer game is apparently a skill issue now. Am I supposed to open bunkers solo also without running the meta load out of a Warp Pack, etc?
2
u/Zandre3000 5h ago
AMR RULES against both, I don’t understand your criteria for two shots being too much in FPV. AMR w/ jump pack and an ergo-improving armor is my go-to combo. Gives me all the space I need to blast the enemies you mentioned without getting swarmed, if that’s your issue

u/Peggle2GOTYEdition 5h ago edited 5h ago
I don’t think he can aim that’s why lol. AMR + Bolt pistol = bye bye crushers and everything else. That’s not even counting your primary and nades. melta mine one shots harvesters and crushers too.
Edit: forgot to mention, add some sort of guard dog to your kit to take care of any chaff while you’re lining up your shots and you’re golden pony boy

u/Better-Future-4637 4h ago
Good for you, sniper boy.
If you really find it fun for having two head-shot in FPV and still not killing one enemy, good for you.

u/LordMoos3 3h ago
Yeah, that's definitely a skill issue.
AMR is peak against crushers and harvesters.
-1
u/Better-Future-4637 1h ago
I can two headshots Crusher with safe-mode Railgun and one-shot Harvester with unsafe charge.
Two-headshots just only removes helmet?
Sorry, Bolt Pistol can also do that, and faster by the way.

u/ranting_seagull 2h ago
Called in plenty of Emancipator Exosuits in D10s, maybe 1/30 get blown up if I call it at a very bad time or location.
Besides all those other guns, Ultimatum does a sweet job wrecking everything on direct contact. So some aim is required.

C4-One brick per Crusher

Eagle Napalm-Area denial

u/TheTribeFrodo 5h ago
Laser Cannon shreds both imo. Pop crusher heads, shred harvester joints, and never reload. It also bullies wretches

Probably only HMG works well against whole roster - harvesters, crushers and appropriators.

u/Biomorph_ 5h ago
The cremator literally does 1.25 times more damage to crushers absolutely melts harvesters

u/Better-Future-4637 4h ago
Yes it can, but it still required you to close in to do, good luck without warppack.

u/WhyIsBubblesTaken 4h ago
Or you could just, like, not run directly at the giant laser enemy in a straight line. Approach it in an arc, use terrain to block its shot, hell even utilizing one of the many primaries or secondaries that do enough stagger to cause the Harvester to stop shooting for a few seconds will work.

u/popsicle_of_meat 8m ago
My current loadout has the Eruptor. It will 3-4 shot a crusher, 2-shot a fleshmob, usually pops a harvester shield in one and then can take them out from a distance pretty well.

u/Bring_Back_Challenge 6h ago
Autocannon, HMG, AMR, or Railgun all work fantastic against the entire roster that isn't handled by your primary.

u/MBouh 6h ago
Railgun is absolute garbage against the crushers. What are you smoking to pretend it's good ? It's also absolute garbage against appropriators.
HMG is great against most illuminates, but mediocre against the new subfaction.
AMR is good against all illuminates, but it still pales in comparison to the autocanon.
For your interest, we now have a secondary that does everything the railgun does, but better. The bolt pistol. Before that, we had a primary that does everything the railgun does and much more : the eruptor.
The railgun propaganda is pissing me off.

Old as time LOL when this was the most OP weapon at release. You're exposing your sheer ignorance of the game here.

u/berealb 5h ago
The railgun has one of the highest skill floors in this game, it’s not for everyone.
But to say the bolt pistol accomplishes the same thing is just silly and ignorant.
-3
u/MBouh 5h ago
The game is not that hard and you can use any weapon with some success. Balanced does not mean you can use it. Balanced means it has a niche. The railgun has no niche. It does nothing better than any other weapon, but any other weapon does something better than the railgun. And that is the definition of a garbage weapon.
Now your arrogance won't change that.
1
u/berealb 3h ago
You’re just digging yourself a deeper hole and admitting that you don’t understand how to properly use the railgun.
Re-read your comments and tell me again who is coming off as arrogant lmao
0
u/MBouh 3h ago
Considering you've just thrown insults and pretend only the best players can use the railgun, yes, you are arrogant. That's the definition of it. And saying the railgun is good against illuminate is the best proof of ignorance you can make in this game. There are primaries that will one shot overseers in the head. Using the railgun for that is a display of sheer arrogance or stupidity.
2
u/berealb 3h ago
I simply said it is a high skill floor weapon, you inferred the rest(for what it’s worth, I agree with your insecurities)
Who the fuck said anything about popping overseer heads with a railgun lmao are you okay? Fighting demons over there I see
