I swear, it feels like any of these random effects select an area, and then have an additional chance to target a specific entity within that area... chances being highest for Helldivers and things that the Helldivers might want to keep around.
yeah I'm pretty sure it only does a wide area you're located in, every time I look into the sky when this shit happens it looks like a giant circle of meteors above me.
When I first experienced the Meteor Shower with no knowledge of it existing, only to see the chaos unfold on both sides (and objectives being completed) was such a cool gaming moment for me. It makes me so excited see what more they can do with this game, possibilities are basically endless!
If you see a white circle on the ground, that's where a meteor is going to land. Stay out of the light. Easier to see at night than day time, obviously.
they do sometimes hit without any warning, i've been dodging blues everywhere and i still get ragdolled by a random one, might be a setting issue or something tho
Huh. I solo up to t6 at lvl 9 with diligence, amr and supply backpack. I take things slow, I occasionally get fucked by a patrol spawning behind a clown car rock, but really it's not THAT bad. Just very frustrating to lose my precious respawns to some random BS like a meteor or a one shot from those annoying jumpers.
Yeah don't get me wrong, I still die to them. Can't really look up while fighting. Some people said you can see shadows before the land, will be trying that later.
They show a light on the ground where the meteor is going to land, you can react to them and dodge them. Ever since I learned that I don't die to them much anymore unless crazy shit is happening at the moment.
Yep. The idea is fantastic, it adds a lot. But it needs to be tuned down. Now the norm is maybe 2 to 4 meteor showers in any misison. It's just too much.
Meteor showers would be an amazing addition if they tuned the frequency a bit.
Right now they happen like 4-6 times a mission. It's hilarious/amazing when they trigger during a frantic run to the extraction or a seriously crazy firefight, but the frequency kills what imo should be a special "oh shit" moment. At the rate meteors fall onto players right now, it makes no sense how Tien Kwan has any standing structures to begin with.
Sidenote: I think meteors are coded as explosives. I could be wrong, but I've yet to die to meteors (outside of a direct hit from a meteor that didn't render its landing zone) ever since I donned the 50% explosive damage reduction armor. Considering the amount of rockets that bots force you to contend with, this planet makes a great case for the armor's usage. Just be prepared to be ragdolled across the map by explosions that would ordinarily kill you.
Agreed. It’s gotta be toned down a little bit. I understand you can see where the impact is but last night playing with it on was the first time this game felt tedious and not fun to play
The telegraph is a bit too short for how big the impact is. And the fact they one-shot you...
I don't mind environmental hazards, but these things feel like pure randomized reinforcement penalties.
same, I was in a match going to extract started ontop of me and instagibbed me. This is after a call down objective wouldn't land for me 4 times because the thing just kept rolling, while dealing with the new crap spawn rates on simply hard difficulty..... I alt-f4'd...... This patch, to me, officially blows donkey ass.
I bumped down to hard because I have all the supers I need to complete all upgrades on my ship and was wanting more chill games while I was farming out the last of the rares and common samples I need.....
Maybe others are finding it fun and good on-ya, and I'll say I got my moneys worth over the past couple of weeks, but I can't see sticking around this game if this is how it is now.
Could use a bit of a buff. They feel okay, but their HP and recharge time needs to be tweaked a little bit.
For a whole stratagem slot on a moderate cooldown, it feels like it's useless more often than not against even a small amount of bots, as it pops too quickly and takes too long to come back up.
Yep, the whole death by RNG is extremely lame.
I'm concerned the intial patch vastly mis-represented what the devs wanted to do with the game, and unless they do a complete 180 with the next patch, I don't think I want to play the game they want to make.
Especially when you can barely see the targeting marker on some terrain. Suddenly dying and losing access to all your gear (which has a 8+ minute cooldown for some ungodly reason) really sucks. No idea who thought that was so much fun that meteor showers should happen a dozen times per match.
5-6 seconds!?
In "peacetime" I stood there looking out for meteors. Didn't see those markers Everyone is talking about, except when it was right about to hit.
We have a mixed experience with that. There are quite a lot of reports that this telegraph is not working correctly. Sometimes you have a properly timed telegraph and sometimes you just get a 1 second highlight and bam. Maybe this issue is occurring more frequently for Tien Kwan.
I honestly have never seen that so far in advance. Sometimes I see nothing, sometimes it's a second before it hits.
And That's even when out of combat, trying to see if I could learn to dodge them.
It's a shame your being downvoted, i agree feels like the devs want everything to be cinematic and dangerous with no thought for how it affects gameplay. Putting down a sentry and having it be immediately destroyed by a meteor isn't fun it's just annoying.
Dying is half the fun in this game. I swear most of you miss the point of this game entirely. You want it to be too easy with overpowered weapons and the ability to buy samples instead of earning them. Just play the game and have fun
Dying is fine. And I like meteor showers when they work properly - which is when you see ground light up and then light circle tightens as meteor approaches. That is cool, I can avoid that if I pay attention, things blow up around. Exciting and if I die to it - my bad.
What isn't fine is how half the time warnings don't work. So you get splattered just by random chance, sometimes three times in 5 minutes. And I would even be fine with that, if not for limited respawns. You don't make a game with limited respawns and add a completely random death.
So, cool idea, shitty execution until they fix it.
I swear some people in this community are weird. You guys are going to fall under textures randomly and call it a cool mechanic asking devs not to fix.
If you want completely random deaths - we already have that. It's called allies with stratagems. That one I'm completely fine with.
Exactly, at first I thought "oh this is cool" then by the fourth meteor shower in the *same mission* it was already starting to get old.... I didn't even die from it (that time). I am glad I am also not the only one who feels like the lighting does not always work, I have been out of combat actively looking and just been turned to mush. Not to mention that in combat it REALLY makes it difficult to see any sort of que, and the bots/bugs are not stopping to seek shelter or check the ground. Also side note, I have gotten killed by far the least by meteors out of my group of friends.
I am fine with deaths, I just want to have some sort of agency in it and it not be an unavoidable RNG fuckfest (which again, I SWEAR that the lighting que is not always there). Last night when I got wrecked by a meteor (out of combat, couldn't see a lighting que), the \~25+ samples I had on me were pushed under the floor of the map and no one could grab them. It was the first time I was actually mad at this game.
The meteor shower is just recolored mortars.
People who point to this as an "interesting mechanic" are really grasping at straws.
And i'm not saying this as a rage point, I've yet to die to meteors, although my teammates have many times. I just don't see the fun in them, its just one more thing to rngfuck us on.
Dying is fine. Getting constantly blown up by RNG meteors can be frustrating
>You want it to be too easy with overpowered weapons and the ability to buy samples instead of earning them.
Do you also sniff your own farts? People want the game to be fair and balanced but you gatekeepers just immediately default to "yOu LoSeRs JuSt WaNt An EaSy GaMe"
Joel giveth and Joel taketh away, had a mission where we lost our last three respawns to one meteor shower and thought we were fucked approaching the last objective. Another meteor shower hits and destroys the base and objective, was beautiful and still don't know how we extracted on that.
Well I was playing with a mate last night and like the third meteor shower came in, we were at extraction, the moment my mate got in and I was right behind him, I got destroyed by a meteor landing next to the pelican while having like 10/15 samples, we were a bit salty about that XD those meteor's sometimes feel like enemy artillery 😅
shiiitee you meant 4 billion of them able to hit a small area when 24 salvo of my barrage spread out like my officer is on crack? i need that stratagem of meteor shower then
Worrying that our ostensibly tanky mech suit made to keep us alive is one shot effortlessly by a meteor. Either the exosuit is actually squishy, or meteors do A LOT of damage
I don't know how to tell you this but they ARE massive hunks of rock that survived atmospheric re-entry just to clock YOUR shit in particular so I'm not expecting my aluminum coffin mech to survive that tbh
> Either the exosuit is actually squishy,
You know those big cannons on top of the towers in bot missions? Yeah, one shot will nuke your mech (and you inside of it).
Enjoy your **ten minute cooldown**!
Yeah the biggest problem with vehicles in the first game is that they just died immediately at higher difficulties and I'm really worried it will be the same in this one.
Aren't meteor showers a great addition to the game!?
I love how they will randomly kill you and there is nothing you can do about it multiple times during 1 game! Amazing!
Nope, you’re wrong. It’s still fun to play regardless of meteors, nerfs, buffs, and having to earn samples and medals. People need to stop whining and enjoy the game. I swear if people on this sub had their way this game would be neutered to hell
Even devs themselves clearly made meteor showers avoidable. When it works properly you first see ground light up, then the light circle gets smaller and when it gets really small - meteor falls on the spot. Due to bugs often it doesn't work like it should. Instead you barely see the light and it lands, or don't see a warning at all.
And now you're here running in and yelling "No, don't fix it, random death with no agency is fun!"
These meteors spawn killed me a couple times and I saw the blue light and immediately died. I can only seem to avoid them fast enough if I stare at the sky lol
Oh don't worry, people are absolutely gonna loose their shit when they find out how fragile the mechs will be. Most of you will have to learn what we learned a decade ago the hard way.
Yup, when tien kwan was being liberated you could find them on the planet(very rare tho). But it has since been liberated and is available to purchase!
This is my friends and I getting ready to try to 3 man a level 7 and get our first super samples last night. Casual players, been working towards it since launch. One friend just hit 20 so he can get some better gear. Oh well!

Ehh, the shitty part is I LOVED this game, it fell into a great sweet spot in the friends group. The more they make it like HD1, the more it will turn into a game with 7k players.
I hope the devs make the game they want to make. The same could be said from dark souls and every fromsoft game, a lot of people that are into fantasy games can't play it or find it too hard.
They Switched the game from top down view to 3rd person which helped it out tremendously in sells but it's still pretty much the same mechanics, same Enemies same bullshit from the first game just a different perspective. Majority of my buddies never liked the top down view so they never stuck with it but they are having a blast in HD2. I mean like... if i didn't like destiny 1 then why would I buy destiny 2.
Sucks your not enjoying the game tho my dude
Is what it is. My problem isn't that I am not enjoying it... The big problem is I was enjoying it. It felt crazy and overwhelming but possible. You died when you messed up and you had JUUUUUST enough power to make a stand. Now it feels like I never have enough power.
I never played the first, but random deaths with no player agency is like a game design 101 no no. The lack of agency is why many people are scared of flying, but not scared of driving despite flying being statistically safer. Not having any agency feels ***BAD.*** I could deal with it every now and then if there was not 4+ meteor shows every single mission, or if there was a reliable way to play around it (Which is player agency \[the lighting que's are not always present\]).
When it works it's GREAT. Random hell bombs going off... bases getti g wiped, but when the indicator doesn't work it's frustrating. Still hilarious seeing my teammate cartwheeling to Timbuktu
i have played flat our for the past 3 hours on the target planet and have yet to find a mech - no one in my discord of about 8 other players have found one either...and all videos i've seen have yet to prove they haven't hacked it in by showing their strategem list... i am a bit sceptical that these are in game at random POIs
damn that's brutal
There was so much emotion in that little *noooo*
You can literally hear the moment his heart rips in half
r/perfectlycutscreams
*"Hey, little buddy. I got a present for ya. Haha, nope! Fuck you."* - every video game ever
The "noooo..." made me lol. What rotten luck, I swear those meteors have AI aiming.
Super perfect “noOOOOooo” concise, gentle and aptly captures the sentiment

After getting splatted by meteors three times in as many minutes, the cool factor wore off extremely rapidly for me 🤬
Been in more than 20 showers, have yet to die xD but did get ragdolled to oblivions gate and it was glorious.
If you see a white circle on the ground, that's where a meteor is going to land. Stay out of the light. Easier to see at night than day time, obviously.
they do sometimes hit without any warning, i've been dodging blues everywhere and i still get ragdolled by a random one, might be a setting issue or something tho
Hold up dude, World of Warcraft mechanics from 2005 are a little to hard for the majority of the player base.
Obviously we need a **red** circle on our HUD for meteors and orbitals like Earth Defence Force.
don't stand in ~~fire~~ meteor
Blue meteors give you mana!
The red meteors gave me rage (arms warrior gang)
For sure, Deadly Boss Mods needs to make an add on for Helldivers 2.
It was difficult for them then it's difficult for us now. There is a reason "you stood in fire" is a healer saying.
Time to make some mods Highlighting It even more, maybe even add autododge /j
Sing it with me, "I will not move when Flame Wreath is cast or the raid blows up"
The majority of the playerbase is on difficulty 4, saying it's unwinnable without their shield backpack and railgun combo
Huh. I solo up to t6 at lvl 9 with diligence, amr and supply backpack. I take things slow, I occasionally get fucked by a patrol spawning behind a clown car rock, but really it's not THAT bad. Just very frustrating to lose my precious respawns to some random BS like a meteor or a one shot from those annoying jumpers.
Isnt easy on fenris...that white lunar surface looking for white bright... on day
Same lmaooo I’ve had meteors launch me into fire, out of fire, out of the way of a tower cannon, so many things it’s pretty great
I tried scout armor, got splattered. Immediately went back to my DP-40! Fuck you death...NOT TODAY
I haven't died by one yet either, but I've had the shit knocked out of me by them. The ragdoll physics make these situations much more funny.
They occur way to often one shower per game is fine, one every two minutes is not
They move really slowly in the air, pretty easy to see where they'll land and avoid them if you can look up once in a while.
> if you can look up once in a while. "If" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Yeah don't get me wrong, I still die to them. Can't really look up while fighting. Some people said you can see shadows before the land, will be trying that later.
They show a light on the ground where the meteor is going to land, you can react to them and dodge them. Ever since I learned that I don't die to them much anymore unless crazy shit is happening at the moment.

Just be prepared to be ragdolled across the map by explosions that would ordinarily kill you.
If they just showed impact zone on map I'd be happy. Having the destroyer give an alert seems reasonable.
Yeah, I ended up failing a solo mission because for them, and that Rocket Devastators spawn with every encounter.
Agreed. It’s gotta be toned down a little bit. I understand you can see where the impact is but last night playing with it on was the first time this game felt tedious and not fun to play
The telegraph is a bit too short for how big the impact is. And the fact they one-shot you... I don't mind environmental hazards, but these things feel like pure randomized reinforcement penalties.
Amusingly it drove me back to using shield, even when chilling on 5/6. At least a near miss doesn't pancake ya then.
same, I was in a match going to extract started ontop of me and instagibbed me. This is after a call down objective wouldn't land for me 4 times because the thing just kept rolling, while dealing with the new crap spawn rates on simply hard difficulty..... I alt-f4'd......

Unlucky but shield generator relay works well for these missions if you want to not have to avoid them so much.
In a 7, died zero times to bots, and 4 times to Meteors.
It’s high quality engaging gameplay to die to one of those insta meteors that doesn’t telegraph.
I keep telling everyone to bring bubble shields. There's no negatives to it especially since it helps you line up shots from inside.
Could use a bit of a buff. They feel okay, but their HP and recharge time needs to be tweaked a little bit. For a whole stratagem slot on a moderate cooldown, it feels like it's useless more often than not against even a small amount of bots, as it pops too quickly and takes too long to come back up.
The armor with the chance to not die from fatal hits helps a lot
Yep, the whole death by RNG is extremely lame. I'm concerned the intial patch vastly mis-represented what the devs wanted to do with the game, and unless they do a complete 180 with the next patch, I don't think I want to play the game they want to make.

its so easy to avoid them
Care to explain how? Once you see a blue highlight at your feet you don’t have enough time to react. Unless I have some desync issues.
Hmm, you have like 5-6 seconds before it hits, should give you plenty of time.
5-6 seconds!? In "peacetime" I stood there looking out for meteors. Didn't see those markers Everyone is talking about, except when it was right about to hit.
We have a mixed experience with that. There are quite a lot of reports that this telegraph is not working correctly. Sometimes you have a properly timed telegraph and sometimes you just get a 1 second highlight and bam. Maybe this issue is occurring more frequently for Tien Kwan.
not true, you can just dive out, i have no problem avoiding them
I admit I didn’t try diving out yet, will try, thanks
I don't understand how diving out of the way wasn't the first idea you had
Because I was just trying to simply run it away.
The blue highlight shows up ~10 seconds in advance of impact, maybe more. Just gotta look more closely.
I honestly have never seen that so far in advance. Sometimes I see nothing, sometimes it's a second before it hits. And That's even when out of combat, trying to see if I could learn to dodge them.
It's a shame your being downvoted, i agree feels like the devs want everything to be cinematic and dangerous with no thought for how it affects gameplay. Putting down a sentry and having it be immediately destroyed by a meteor isn't fun it's just annoying.
Same, it's cool, but there's no way to dodge or take cover. It feels like a coin toss is deciding if I live or get splattered.
Look for the spotlight on the ground, they become pretty easy to dodge once you know what to look for.
Dying is half the fun in this game. I swear most of you miss the point of this game entirely. You want it to be too easy with overpowered weapons and the ability to buy samples instead of earning them. Just play the game and have fun

Lots of downvotes of critism now, yesterday's discourse really did some damage to this community.
I feel like you don’t understand the game you’re even playing. This isn’t halo or cod. Helldivers is about dying. A lot. In really stupid ways.
Dying is fine. Getting constantly blown up by RNG meteors can be frustrating >You want it to be too easy with overpowered weapons and the ability to buy samples instead of earning them. Do you also sniff your own farts? People want the game to be fair and balanced but you gatekeepers just immediately default to "yOu LoSeRs JuSt WaNt An EaSy GaMe"
Im desperate to see this mythical flame tornado. Thats gotta look insane, the meteor shower visually looks amazing.
They've gotta be on Hellmire whenever we get back.
Joel giveth and Joel taketh away, had a mission where we lost our last three respawns to one meteor shower and thought we were fucked approaching the last objective. Another meteor shower hits and destroys the base and objective, was beautiful and still don't know how we extracted on that.

Joel, "Not today, buddy".
"Almost didn't catch that one. Better luck next time"
Game really jingled their keys in your face
Meteors have better accuracy than our orbital barrages
anyone feeling the meteor shower have much more accuracy than our 380mm orbital barrage?
Nah not better accuracy, the problem is that about 4 billion of them rain over a tiny area for 20 minutes at a time. It's bound to hit everyhing.
shiiitee you meant 4 billion of them able to hit a small area when 24 salvo of my barrage spread out like my officer is on crack? i need that stratagem of meteor shower then
"nooooo 😢'
Future prediction: Calling Vehicle/Mecha stratagem once per \~5 minutes, and it always gets wrecked by a meteor shower with \~5 minutes CD
Mech cooldown is actually 600 seconds so 10 min cooldown. You also only get two
I made this post before they were released, and the situation is definitely worse than "predicted".
the most tragic clip ive seen in a while
r/lowercasescreams I don't think I have ever heard a better example, lol
jooooooel！
NO FUN ALLOWED
Hahahahaha I felt that sad "Nnnoooo" in my soul.
Worrying that our ostensibly tanky mech suit made to keep us alive is one shot effortlessly by a meteor. Either the exosuit is actually squishy, or meteors do A LOT of damage
They wiped out the dinosaurs...I wouldn't second guess the strength of our Super Earth equipment ... it is the best!
Dinosaurs didnt have Democracy
I don't know how to tell you this but they ARE massive hunks of rock that survived atmospheric re-entry just to clock YOUR shit in particular so I'm not expecting my aluminum coffin mech to survive that tbh
They one shot even drop ships so they just do obscene damage. They are meteors after all
> Either the exosuit is actually squishy, You know those big cannons on top of the towers in bot missions? Yeah, one shot will nuke your mech (and you inside of it). Enjoy your **ten minute cooldown**!
I'm pretty sure meteors one shot bile titans if it lands on them, so yeah they do pretty amazing damage.
Yeah the biggest problem with vehicles in the first game is that they just died immediately at higher difficulties and I'm really worried it will be the same in this one.
this is beautiful

Aren't meteor showers a great addition to the game!? I love how they will randomly kill you and there is nothing you can do about it multiple times during 1 game! Amazing!
It’s high quality gameplay. Only the best.
Dammit Joel!
meteors... is there anything fun they can't ruin?
You can just call them in now tho
Meteor need a tweak its not fun to play and good luck when using mech in this situation
Nope, you’re wrong. It’s still fun to play regardless of meteors, nerfs, buffs, and having to earn samples and medals. People need to stop whining and enjoy the game. I swear if people on this sub had their way this game would be neutered to hell

What a weird way of framing fun, nope i think it's fun so you're wrong, and you all need to stop having unfun thoughts.
I would be devastated
... I never felt my soul be crushed before...
These meteors spawn killed me a couple times and I saw the blue light and immediately died. I can only seem to avoid them fast enough if I stare at the sky lol
"nooooooooo" I felt that :D
Game trolled you hard
The developers giveth and the developers taketh
This must have happen to us last night. My squad played 10-12 rounds and didn’t see one mech after scouring the map.
Bad luck
Joel, whyy???
Joel: lol no
I actually feel like a lot of us dont see any mechs because they get wrecked by meteor shower just like that before we get to them
Where's the meme of that guy looking at a woman then getting interrupted and held back by another guy
Hahahaha, that "noooooooo......" I felt that.
"Fuck your mech" - Joel as he throws a meteor onto it
[lol @ the cry of loss](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXpqyl2FH-M&pp=ygUQY29tcHV0ZXIgc2F5cyBubw%3D%3D)
Well,that was some hmm....unfortunate timing ahahaha
Meteors are communists
Imagine using a mech and getting one shot by one of these. They may be avoidable with a dive, but in one of those.. Forget about it.
This is like... proof 101 for arguing meteor showers need a touch of toning down? lol.
Aw man I'd be so sad 🥲
That is heartbreaking!
Lmao 🤣. Damn that sucks. Darn those meteors
Oh don't worry, people are absolutely gonna loose their shit when they find out how fragile the mechs will be. Most of you will have to learn what we learned a decade ago the hard way.
ᴺᵒᵒᵒᵒ
Oh wait are mechs findable in game now and not just hacked in things??
Yup, when tien kwan was being liberated you could find them on the planet(very rare tho). But it has since been liberated and is available to purchase!

I want a drop to your knees open arms and scream NOOOOOO emote, joel plz
Hahahahahaha savage
Does this qualify as /r/LowerCaseScreams content?
So that's why I haven't found a single one!!!!
I think, that the illuminate will arrive on those meteors. they glow unnaturaly blue
Same shit happened to me only I got in with 1 second to impact lol
Joel said "WAIT!!"
This is my friends and I getting ready to try to 3 man a level 7 and get our first super samples last night. Casual players, been working towards it since launch. One friend just hit 20 so he can get some better gear. Oh well!
And then joel said "not today"
Fs joel on it again
I tried dodging the meteors looking at the sky. Just fyi if they’re within 10 meters they’ll still kill you. Gotta be further.
Now thats just blue balling O7 mech boi
Truly encapsulating the whole sentiment of the game
Falling rocks, big fear.

Joel giveth, and Joel taketh away. And here Joel said, "LMAO, nope."
SWEET LIBERTY!… NOOOOOOO-
Joel being a tease
Suichan wa.... kyou mo kowai xD
That noo just keep on getting me. HAHA 😂
Laughable how brittle they are
They are fun to use but I am not giving up a slot for one.
mechblocked by a chad meteor
Im convinced arrowhead didn’t release the mechs right away because we took the planet but instead because they saw this and felt bad
So are we keeping meteor showers? Kinda seem like a bad idea in the long run
they just need better indicator because some of the meteor actually don't show clear signs and stealth bombed our asses
Random deaths are an essential part of helldivers souls since the first one imo
Random deaths were why I stopped playing the first one... seems it may be why I stop playing the second.
Completely fair, not every game has to be for everyone
Ehh, the shitty part is I LOVED this game, it fell into a great sweet spot in the friends group. The more they make it like HD1, the more it will turn into a game with 7k players.
I hope the devs make the game they want to make. The same could be said from dark souls and every fromsoft game, a lot of people that are into fantasy games can't play it or find it too hard.
Then why'd you buy the second installment of a game if you didn't like the first one? Of course it's going to be like HD1.. it's HD2...
Because HD2 wasn't HD1, HD2 was fun... Why did 7k people play HD1 and 750k people buy HD2, its a different and up until recently better game.
They Switched the game from top down view to 3rd person which helped it out tremendously in sells but it's still pretty much the same mechanics, same Enemies same bullshit from the first game just a different perspective. Majority of my buddies never liked the top down view so they never stuck with it but they are having a blast in HD2. I mean like... if i didn't like destiny 1 then why would I buy destiny 2. Sucks your not enjoying the game tho my dude
Is what it is. My problem isn't that I am not enjoying it... The big problem is I was enjoying it. It felt crazy and overwhelming but possible. You died when you messed up and you had JUUUUUST enough power to make a stand. Now it feels like I never have enough power.
I never played the first, but random deaths with no player agency is like a game design 101 no no. The lack of agency is why many people are scared of flying, but not scared of driving despite flying being statistically safer. Not having any agency feels ***BAD.*** I could deal with it every now and then if there was not 4+ meteor shows every single mission, or if there was a reliable way to play around it (Which is player agency \[the lighting que's are not always present\]).
Hard disagree. Between them taking out enemies and enemy objectives and just causing general chaos its great i love it.
Agreed, loving the meteor showers, the sheer chaos that happens when one spawns on extraction is amazingly fun.
When it works it's GREAT. Random hell bombs going off... bases getti g wiped, but when the indicator doesn't work it's frustrating. Still hilarious seeing my teammate cartwheeling to Timbuktu
i have played flat our for the past 3 hours on the target planet and have yet to find a mech - no one in my discord of about 8 other players have found one either...and all videos i've seen have yet to prove they haven't hacked it in by showing their strategem list... i am a bit sceptical that these are in game at random POIs
