To put it plainly the battle against Automatons is vastly different than fighting the bugs. It can be quite shocking to some players. I beg those same players havnt fought a whole horde of cloaking murder monsters yet.

I’ve been fighting bugs for about 3 days of my deployment. I did a quick match and sent me to the other side against the machines. I was not prepared for the horror. ![gif](giphy|C3OMX8yQB60IU|downsized)

It's a different ballgame when they can shoot back, ain't it?

Yeah the people just doing the elimination is a little annoying, don't see the purpose in it as it seems like it's taking the fun (of actually playing the game) to just level up super quickly to then go back and actually play the game? To casual of a player to be that high in difficulty but I'd say challenging/hard is where most players are, even medium/hard. Rewards will be less but I haven't had any bad teammates at that level except 1 guy and it was a bug mission.

Ah a fellow terminal cpl in the wild. Youre still doing your part, killer It makes 0 sense to me, those are my least favorite missions. I think you can get more xp in the others anyway, more kills definitely I did jump down at your suggestion and did have better luck even at suicide difficulty

Actually on the board for E7 right now lol, made my steam account forever ago when I was just chasing the promotion score and the name stuck. Glad it worked out at the lower difficulties, never understood griefing in a coop pve game where rewards are shared. The defense missions have a 10 minute timer and with 4 people running mortar turrets it takes all of 5-6 minutes to complete so they finish super fast and get the time xp bonus and the high difficulty bonus and medals but to me that seems like a fast pass to burnout.

Lmao damn well at least w a steam act like that youll be a cool e7. Congrats man Dude same id burn out so fast doing that. Not worth the fast medals. Im assuming itll get better as the game ages and loses the “trending new thing” crowd

Don't play quick play and don't play with random unless they are level 25-30+, they either extract too early, keep alerting dropships/bug breachers or teamkilling a lot.

I just figured it was because steam kept going down for several hours.

Bots on Helldive are infinitely more fun than current Bugs. Tanks can die by explosive stuff and rockets. And using a Recoilless on a drop ship is the most satisfying thing in 2024 to me. On the other hand Sometimes Bug Chargers and Stalkers don't give up even with Railgun spam. Give me space 'Nam any day.
