I grabbed it because it's cross-platform so I can play with the wife.
Turned out to be surprisingly fun. It's simple, chaotic, and it just works. Nothing more exciting than dropping a daisy chain of airstrikes and arty at your feet as you frantically leapfrog backwards while being overrun by a swarm of bugs.

I turned in a ticket this morning.
When I try to accept a friend invite it does nothing, then when I go back to friends list all my social tabs say "please wait democratically" and has a spinning circle for hours. So I can't join any friends squads. Very annoying. Talked a friend into buying it on PC last week and we haven't been able to play yet because of it. |

On PC, Steam friend requests seem to work better than the ingame requests

New major order with a new mission. Also on some Terminid missions, there's a new side objective that I won't spoil for you unless you really want to be spoiled: Click To View Spoiler On some missions, there are new bug lairs (like the stalker lairs) except flying bugs fly out called shriekers |

@DirtDivision
I know how you blew up in the mech now. There's a bug where if you turn left then right, if you immediately fire off a rocket before the crosshair catches up with your actual radial movement, it "hits you" and you're dead. Doesn't have to be anything around you for it to happen. |

The Termicide activation missions got old real fast.

The rules are simple: they lie to us, we know they're lying, they know we know they're lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them.
|
So now I lose my loadout and character voice options whenever I get off and it keeps doing those damn popups like I just started playing the game.
I think 50% of the bugs are bile spewers now. |

I tested the flamethrower late last night and it no shit kills a Charger in something like 8 seconds or 3/4th a tank of fuel. Now whether you can do that without setting yourself on fire because there's grass or little bugs mobbing you is another story.
Still loving the arc-thrower. It works well with my "can't really aim good" strategy I knew this was going to happen when they let us all try out the Patriot walker with basically an extra stratagem, but I got used to having that on call for extraction or clearing out heavy areas and now that it's gone I can't bring myself to use a stratagem slot very often That would be a sweet fucking booster idea. One that gives the squad a 5th stratagem. It's less about having more power on tap to complete missions and more about I just like playing with all the toys But with 4 slots at say difficulty 6 and up, it's needs vs wants. Much less when you get limited to 3. That fucking sucks! |

Mine started after the update. Also almost got killed last night by a charger at silo 3 because I clipped through the ramp and got stuck for a second but was able to jump 3-4 times and get away. |

You’ve got an older processor, & depending on resolution it can tax the cpu more than the GPU. My 5700x sit in the 50’s while my 3080Ti is going near full tilt at 7680x1440 pulling around 330watts. |

View Quote I left when we finished that last mission together to get some shit done, and it wasn't happening then, but later I logged back on for another mission before bed and it started doing it. Hoping that's not the case today. Didn't appreciate dropping with the Liberator and starting handgun. Weird how it went back to default weapons but left my armor. |

View Quote I was on challenging level with a buddy doing the silos. He had the fatal glitch and was kicked out. It was 7-8 minutes of me solo running and gunning only to inevitably run out of drops. After all said and done with I had 362 kills in my failed mission. I saw istomphippies send a party invite but we were mid mission and frustrated. The flame thrower is nice on the chargers but man do they come out of nowhere. |

All I had was the grenade launcher, sheild generator and two timed out sentry’s. It was the running man when my buddy glitched out. Chargers are fairly easy. One guy is the bait and the other guy comes around the as end and gives him a mag of breaker shells. |

I was using the recoiless rifle tonight. That will one shot most of them if you hit them in the face.
The trick to the tower missions is turrets. 2 or 3 each just keep dropping at each silo stay alive and let them work. |

View Quote That ramp bug happened to my group the first game also. I don’t recall what sentry I set down up on the platform, Gatling I think, but it didn’t do the glitch until I set it down. |

At least they fixed the water glitch so you don't need someone to kill you if you drown. But I'm getting really tired of the newbie hints every session.

View Quote that happened to me for the 1st time 2 nights ago.. I didnt know WTF was going on... Then last night right as soon as the exfil bird lands.. A mortar goes off around me and glitches me into a fence where I cant move... Thankfully all the randoms in the squad had mics and listened to me when I told them not to board and to come kill me lol... |

View Quote It's only happened to me a few times, mostly learning where the pitfalls are on the new tower maps in the dark/fog/mist, but there seems to be only 2 reactions to requesting a team kill: 1. Extreme reluctance and 2. Gleeful exuberance. |

The new stun grenades are amazing. Not only do they stop chargers and everything else in their tracks, they make a great setup for sticking stratagems on enemies for easy kills

I do some dumb shit when I play when I get home at night. 11 hours at work and another hour and a half at the gym before I play really kills my decision making skills. Last night I threw a weapons pack and a guard dog strategem one after the other and when one landed I ran to the one that hadnt and got smooshed.

Still pretty new, maybe rank 7.. Have only ran up on a few chargers so Im still looking for the best way to kill them. Having shitty weapons still, doesnt help..

I've tried using the rail, on unsafe, near max charge, to strip the leg armor and the shit just bounces off. I'd much rather bring the flame thrower which I know will kill a charger in less than a single tank. Is that how you're using the rail? Get a leg to change color then hit it with your primary? |

View Quote We tag team chargers if someone doesn’t have a rail gun or something big. One guy is the bait other guy waiting from the side. Charger goes by and jump out behind him and put a full mag from the breaker up his ass. Sometimes I can bounce a grenade under the front of them and that gets them dead or at least stunned. |

What's the trick to getting planetary order medal awards? Do you have to be on planet and actively playing when the order is achieved? Just in orbit? I've gotten them when I didn't expect them and haven't gotten any when I did expect them and I can't figure out why/how/what.
