I’m not sure. Last night the super squad kuraki and I were on had no glitches whatsoever. The previous night Before it was comical how many crashes and problems we had.

[Last Edit: Kuraki] [#2]
Yeah it was a good round of missions the biggest glitch I had was when I crunched that bile titan on a drop and he collapsed on top of me.  But DirtDivision used the power of explosives to remove me by blowing me under ground and then back up onto land, somehow without killing me  I did play one more mission after we disbanded.  That game was brutal.  We were winning, doing fine, working together, and one guy just drops off.  5 minutes later another.  Then the third I saw go in the middle of a fire fight, he didn't "return to ship" he just disappeared as he was fighting.  So I tried to finish the mission alone, and as I'm heroically dodging the extraction rush thinking "this is awesome I wish someone could see it" and the shuttle comes down and I crash too  Damn it.

Finally got discord figured.  I swear to god I don't understand why voice comms are so overly complicated with these games.  Same problems as 10 years ago, it's silly.

When on PS5 comms, voice chat comes through my main speakers with the game sound, and I use the controller mic to talk.  This actually works pretty well, but SO MANY PS5 players leave their mic activation on VOX and don't use the mute button, that lots of people just turn voice chat off.  It's really rare I can answer an SOS and expect to be able to speak to more than 1 squad member.  It seems the majority of PC players are using discord, which mutes the PS5 voice chat to them.

On Discord, it plays the voice chat through the speaker on the controller, and it's way way too quiet to hear over the game sound on the speakers.  Can't use a bluetooth headset, especially noise cancelling because it won't combine the game and voice sound in them, voice stays on the controller speaker.  So I scrambled around and found some wired earbuds last night and plugged them into the controller which does consolidate game and voice sound.

It's just weird.

Also I learned you CAN TURN CROSSHAIRS ON ALL THE TIME.  Jesus Christ I'm level 46 I think?  And now I find that out?

OH!!!  @dirtdivision you were looking for scout armor?  I was going through the standard warbond because I need to buy to unlock the last page so I started back at the beginning to see if I wanted anything I hadn't bought yet, because I was basically buying the minimum to unlock the next set every step.

The very first page of the warbond for I think 3 medals is a really great armor we've probably all been sleeping on.  It's Scout and all the benefits, and it's light, but it's also 79 armor and a little hit to speed.  I used it on that mission I crashed from and I liked it a lot.  Check it out.  It's easily purchased by anyone and I just skipped right past it assuming anything that cost so little wouldn't be useful.

And the hives are so durable.  Apparently you can call a hellbomb down if you get close to them.  Otherwise you have to expend a rather significant amount of ordinance to eliminate them.

ETA: We need an Eagle 1000kg bomb

FYI Don't use any arc stuff. Per the developers, a lot of the crashes are due to the arc damage.

I'm randomly "losing connection" now during a good amount of missions. Very annoying.

I was playing quick play and dropped in on some kid. The other two guys in his ship were complete shit birds. They sniped my support weapons when they dropped. The kid was super receptive and didn’t know much about the game. I was able to show him some things. He was a level 6 and didn’t have much in the way of strategems and support items so I dropped him a shield backpack and grenade launcher. I saw kuraki dropping in when we were at extract. The two shit birds had left. So we waited on kuraki and let him get some cheap XP points.

We ran a challenging level mission with him and we’re able to show him more tips and trips into kuraki had to leave.

It felt good to show someone how to play a little better.

It does. I dropped in last night to try and get the daily (and then completely forgot for three missions to ever drop the stupid rockets).

Had a level 2 on his second game join up and we ended up running three or so missions. He was on a mic so it helped a lot.

I had someone do that for me when I first started, it feels good to help someone out like that.

Last night I was trying to get my personal order done. "10 kills with the EAT-17". I shot chargers in the face the whole mission. Not a single one died from my rockets.

Got back to the ship, and awarded me 15 medals for completing personal order.

LOL, this freaking game.

I'm pretty sure team kills count if you've damaged the thing.

On the PC discord client, you can adjust the volume output so it will make the voice a little louder than the game audio.  Maybe you can do the same on PS discord?

I've been keeping track how to destroy them from range because trying to get in there and set a hellbomb is miserable.

Shoulder Laser - under 200m range each tower takes just under a full cell of juice
Walker - 3 rockets per spire
EAT - 2 rockets per spire
Autocannon - will take them down unknown how many rounds
Recoiless - will take them down unknown how many rounds guessing 3 since EAT buff made it slightly stronger round for round than Recoiless

Walker is absolutely the easiest/fastest alone. 2 guys with EAT/Laser is quick too.

If you have a couple seconds notice on that, dropping an airstrike stratagem when you die is the most democratic way to go out.

In general, running is a great strategy to avoid harm.  It's no big deal to hold a grenade in one's hand, or a pre-armed Eagle Airstrike, and go running headfirst into danger.  Just don't stop running...and ignore those three bile titans your idiot squad spawned.

man, the minefield daily brings out some interesting situations lol.

We had three of us running mines at the same time but W/O much communication. We had freakin mines everywhere, people calling down reinforcements into the middle of the minefield, bug corpses bouncing all over the minefields, it was awesome.

Then we seeded the extract so hard we almost didnt make it to the pelican. Good times

My biggest problem with bots is the need for accurate shot placement but all of the sights on the weapons fucking suck.  The liberator penetrators is fucking horrible, also the zoom in feature needs some tuning.  Should be more like fornite.

You can’t pop out and shoot accurately with a shitty overdone reticle in your face and this inability to kill them causes you to get overwhelmed.


I use mostly 3rd person aiming in the bugs cause shot placement isn’t too big a deal except on heavies.

That's one nice thing about the Sickle.  Best scope in the game.  Just a fine crosshair and none of the fluorescent 3rd grader doodle ideas of "future reticle" bullshit.  My biggest gripe about the anti-material rifle is that stupid distracting optic.

I really miss the old days of PC gaming where you could just go into a file directory and swap in your own .bmp for a reticle/aiming point

ETA: I just learned at like level 48 you can turn the reticles to "always on"  I'm like "how are these guys on tiktok hip shooting Berserkers in the face with the revolver"
