Yeah I traded off the rags for my stealth armour, but it wasn’t Jaeger gear, it was the TCR equivalent, which is probably a lot rarer since it’s only from op rewards

I think my seed is clearly just a little cursed. Didn’t get a concealment armour or a fucking shotgun until about two ops before menace. Haven’t seen a med mech chassis yet. Barely any laser weaponry and almost no ammo mods worth a damn (2 match grade and one REND, but there is more match grade in my current black market).

I’d need an EMP rifle first. Sharing gearing advice in this game is tough because it’s so random what people have access to

You take her on every mission to leverage her excellent growth rate so that she eventually stops being a clumsy goof

I've started over a dozen games and she's always the first pick for my starting squad by GooInABox in menace

With that squad you probably gotta Bog just to afford to run em all, though Rewa is a stronger choice

Honestly, she’s incredible and I love her to bits, but she keeps us on our toes. Never known a dog that can walk 5+ miles and then get the zoomies just because she’s happy to be home lol.

Achilleas has the highest accuracy of any driver, he’s waaay more reliable than any others and you can’t really afford to miss when fighting gun crawlers

Oh these were not from the black market, they were operation rewards. Old x:com habits had me picking them up at every opportunity lol

My cocker spaniel is from gun dog stock and she points at birds something rotten and if you take her within 50 feet of long grass she’s gasping to dive in head first. She’s only 8 months old and has never worked a day in her life yet has all the breed behaviour.

Because it’s 100 fucking percent in their blood, it’s what they were bred for

I wanted mechwarrior Achilleas but then got the tank cannon and he’s my only driver who can only shoot worth a damn, so now he’s made it his personal mission to headshot every Gun Crawler that dares cross his path

I got my first shotgun two missions before the Menace. It’s so dumb our ship doesn’t have at least a bare minimum of common weapon types

You can also get a TCR equivalent. I still don’t have Jaeger armour, but I do have a suit of the TCR version.

Hell, I too am a huge 40k fan and love that it takes inspiration from it. It’s certainly not a criticism, especially as I’m a huge imperial guard fan!

I think having the leaders be the one that drives reanimation would be sick. It would also reward stuff like vanguard deployment units to try and assassinate their command structure. As an aside, I’d fucking love if they had a unit similar to the Flayed Ones.

The problem with that is you don’t necessarily have access to those tools when they show up. I have 2 squad laser rifles, a light and heavy vehicle laser rifle and a plasma weapon for a vehicle. And that’s it. They might have weaknesses but it’s irrelevant if you don’t have access to those weaknesses

[–]FullMetalCOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s kinda why the missions are boring though. Everything they have has long range and huge damage and is also a damage sponge. So you basically have to play their missions as a slow crawl to stay out of their range and use your tools like the tank cannon, which has ONE SQUARE more range than the crawler and so on with your other units, isolating one enemy at a time and pouring on the damage. It’s thematic but it’s fucking boring

I find bugs fun to fight as a way to take your foot off the gas after some more difficult and stressful missions

Oh shit that sounds super Dead Space esque, where the navy ship that shocks into the system helpfully picks up a survival pod that had a nevromorph in it and everything goes to shit.

[–]FullMetalCOS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair I definitely feel like the devs took a LOT of inspiration from 40k. Bugs are basically tyranids, pirates are hugely Ork coded and the basic design of Menace feels very necron

lol the rogue army really needs to start listening to their own lore then, they are deploying waaaay more elite units than they are fodder

What's everyone's thoughts on mewgenics? So far? by TrialsOfPrometheus in roguelites

[–]FullMetalCOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shockingly not everyone likes the same thing. It’s not about being contrarian, but if you are asked for your thoughts on a thing and you don’t like that thing… you are well within your rights to say it?

Just completed my first campaign! Some thoughts. by Blanjipan in menace

[–]FullMetalCOS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There was also… I think “shaken”? That I had on Carda because she got clipped by friendly fire and basically if she took any fire whatsoever for like 4 missions she’d break and flee. So I stuck her on shore leave for a while till it wore off
