on site refinings where the driller doesn't just dig straight tunnels directly to the pumpjacks are just a waste of everyone's time the ideal division of labor on an on site refining is the driller immediately carving up the landscape and everyone else doing the scut work of finding nitra, secondaries, and laying pipe in the drill tunnels

If a driller digs direct tunnels on refining missions I simply build around those tunnels because I want dumb roller coaster pipes.

i use stubby with the turret arc oc with breach cutter with return to sender its a very area of denial type play style. when a wave comes down ill drop my two turrets with them both facing inward towards each other then ill throw some stubby shots or a breach cutter into a big wave and then electric my turrets when the wave gets close. it works very well on dreadnauts esp if you have a scout emp inbetween the turrets so they dreadnaut basically sits still. it lets you keep your turrets arced and let you fire your cutter into the dread when armor breaks the only down side is if your not solo or your not in a group who knows to hang near your turrets it loses alot of its luster and the lok1 build will do better. another thing is you can just arc your turrets and play jump rope with the horde. and you dont even need to fully deploy your turrets so if they ran out of ammo or its the initial haz 4 / haz 5 steping out of the pod wave you can get alot done just keeping them arced. arcing them can be annoying sometimes your stubby doesnt have a 100% chance Bumper Stickup posted:If a driller digs direct tunnels on refining missions I simply build around those tunnels because I want dumb roller coaster pipes. as a driller if someone wants to build a roller coaster i let them i just go back to getting every single chunk of mineral possible.

As a driller I will make those direct tunnels for convenience but if everyone wants silly/crazy straw pipes I'm not gonna complain at all. e; it'd be funnier too if you snake the pipes to criss cross around the direct tunnel or even go in the reverse direction through the tunnel.

I like doing crazy pipelines especially for missions that require gunk seeds, that way you can just dump a seed to a pipeline and you've got an easy way to quickly gather them back to the base.

Coolness Averted posted:What classes are you playing? And is it on difficulty 1 or 2? Luckily even if no one makes it to the escape pod you'll still get credit for completing a mission. Sorry for the late reply. Partner is playing only gunner, she is not a gamer but tries her best. I play solo; I went Gunner, Driller, then Scout to promotion, and I'm just playing as Engineer now. Got a few overclocks spread over chars, but I am hitting the resources wall of new weapons and their upgrades vs. forging stuff. I go: Gunner / Driller - A Rank - functional and survivability, great equipment. Take gunner first so you can feel the joy of drilling smooth paths through walls after learning pickaxing and ziplining. Scout - B Rank - Fun, great equipment, great once you have better feel for the game but prepare to get cocky and die falling, can't cling but lights up! Engineer - C Rank - Starting shotgun is a finger breaker and grenade launcher is best used for flea killing, sentries are a bit of a pain (I would like a Roland/Ashton Borderlands turret system, limited time/life.) Platform maker is great unless it is lovely map. Some generated maps are just terrible, and nothing ruins enjoyment more than hitting the heartstone as you watch your partner fruitlessly spray the high ceiling for a cave leech that will down her next. My Engi had Quick revive in it's one slot. Just some thoughts/complaints, never know who's listening on these forums. I did end up buying the game to support it and have got my moneys worth. edit: Levels 2-Player 2-3 Solo 3-4 gave up on Lethal as I got new missions and haven't tried again.

Especially if there is a big open part you can defend easily and you route them through, I much prefer liquid missions to defend away from the minehead. Without the little popguns like point extracts, there's almost no good reason to be around there, you just get bugs hitting you from underneath the grating and other stuff

On vertical maps those pipes can be used as safe jump-off points too, if you can nail your landing on a pipe while holding E you can land on them from literally any height and survive. Saved my dumb driller rear end a few times.

Zephro posted:From a pure mechanics point of view, once you've promoted every class (and can thus bring them on deep dives, get overclocks etc) there's no point to xp, so you can just skip secondaries whenever you want. They still matter for milestones to get perk points, if you haven't grabbed everything you want already. Eventually those run out too though.

You know what secondary I’d love to see next update? A heavy duty rivet gun to nail the bugs to the walls Deep Rock style. (For the engie, or scout maybe) It makes me sad whenever I accidentally nail a ceiling grunt with my flare gun and both the corpse and my flare fall to the ground in slow motion.

When they add utility OCs or sidegrades the flare gun absolutely needs one that makes it either stick to bugs (turn steeve into a portable light) or spear them with style.

I don't think about my turrets much. I take two turrets, more ammo, and stun. I set them up to basically cover eachother and stall out bugs as they come in and do chip damage. It seems to work pretty well.

Fabricated posted:I don't think about my turrets much. I take two turrets, more ammo, and stun. I set them up to basically cover eachother and stall out bugs as they come in and do chip damage. It seems to work pretty well. Quick deploy is indispensable imo, especially since the +ammo alternative only gives you the same +90 you already got from "choosing" Geminis (it's not really a choice). It's a fairly low increase compared to many weapons' ammo upgrades, while quick deploy is one of the best changes you can make to your turret (after Gemini and Defender, which, again, are a "choice" in name only). I feel like the only upgrade tier on the turret where you can truly do whatever you want is row three. Like, sure, you can technically do whatever you want as long as you take Defender, but if you want those turrets to pull their weight the whole mission it's 12X1 ride or die.

I run +ammo on the gemini, it's still like +25% which can totally be felt after a few resupplies. Well, I run it on some of my loadouts, the less mobile ones. I feel it's a good choice! Unlike many of the tiers, which I agree are cut&dry.

That is true! I guess I should have added the caveat that I think it's 12X1 ride or die if you're going to stick to a single build. If you tweak on a per-objective basis (I only bother with special builds for Extermination and Data Rack) then I'm sure ammo is great for all the stand-your-ground mission types.

I've found the single gun ain't bad at least in 3 star missions. It doesn't have the same damage output as gemini but seems to have better tracking, can fully rotate, and doesn't chew through ammo. Also fun tip: engineers can refill eachother's guns. Coolness Averted fucked around with this message at 07:51 on Jan 25, 2022 |

I admit that I hate turret classes in games so I play engineer with the turrets built completely so that I have as little babysitting of the machines as possible. One turret, fast deployment, 360 FOV, etc. I drop my turret when it seems necessary using as little brainpower as possible and recall it when it's not needed. I'm sure at the very highest levels this is a terrible build, but I routinely run haz5 with haz4 as my chillout zone and I always equal the other engineers in killcount, and we never struggle in situations where the turret system is doing heavy lifting.
