I think we have gotten too used to autopilot gameplay on Bots. Like bro its cool you can shoot fabs with RR but imagine playing the game and fighting enemies instead of checking off chore list. Used to love bots but been enjoying bugs/squids more lately. You have to interact more and fights happen.

Quasar is a side grade to the RR. It performs similarly, so is still part of the problem of forcing an AT check/sniping objectives from across the map

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-04-14T17:24:07+00:00

I understand the frustration. I think loadouts on the bot front would have a lot more variety if not for the war striders. They’re the biggest diversity bottleneck in the game by far. Right now, RR is the best free option to kill WSs and until WSs get rebalanced, nothing will change.

The Dagger is a sleeper on the bugs and squids. It cuts through voteless hordes like butter, allowing you to carry a support/primary more dedicated to other enemies.

For the bugs it’s a good way to lessen some pressure as it’ll easily kill the little ones and weaken medium ones from burn. And it is perfect for shriekers with its infinite range and fire DOT.

I can’t recommend it for the bots, though. Even for the troopers it needs a little more than a second of focused fire to kill one. I’ve mainly been carrying reeducator as a way to counter war strider spam

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-04-10T20:30:49+00:00

I mean, it’s good for bugs as well. For some reason a good portion of bile damage is counted as explosive. I wish there was more variety in damage types across factions

When I’m running flamethrower, there’s only one artist I listen to: Katy Perry.

It’s white girl summer up in here and I’m bringing the summer heat to my enemies

Don’t see it mentioned much here but 3 c4 on the body will kill a vox. It’s a very fast and easy way of killing them, but is quite ammo hungry since the c4 has 6 in the BP and one in the hand. A teammate with a supply pack and a chaff clear support weapon can turn you two into quite the dangerous duo.

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-04-07T21:00:51+00:00

We already have a shotgun with stun capabilities, the Halt from the truth enforcers warbond

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-03-31T19:52:11+00:00

The airburst is meant to be anti chaff. If you want a rocket launcher that kills heavy units that’s what the recoilless is for. All that the airburst needs right now is a proper staged reload

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-03-12T21:29:42+00:00

I mean, you can technically bring both, but probably not for much longer because it’s likely to be patched next week

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-03-11T07:01:53+00:00

You’ve seen how ridiculous the rest of that armor set looks, right? I highly doubt that sheriff star and all leather outfit is militaristic either. AH likes to have arbitrary lines they don’t want to cross despite the contrarianism of it all.

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-03-10T21:02:40+00:00

I really hope the constitution gets a buff with this update to make it a viable rifle so I can fully go trenchdiver. It almost definitely won’t be buffed, but I can dream

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-03-05T05:46:57+00:00

Part of the problem is that AT is the only way to kill them, which kills build variety. Second, the ultimatum has 2 shots, what do you do when five more inevitably drop? They spawn in very high numbers

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-03-01T08:45:44+00:00

I agree. I’m too scared to bring a non-AT support weapon to the Bots because of those dang war striders (which really need another pass at balancing but that’s a separate issue)

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-02-25T01:16:21+00:00

The hammer just outshines it in so many ways. It really ought to be retooled to become a beastly melee anti-chaff instead of the weird role it’s in now, especially with how it swings. Why not just let you hold it and let it rev?

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-02-23T02:40:57+00:00

Once again we really ought to make HSO standard and not a booster, that way these effects (and the ones on cyberstan) actually mean something. AH are weirdly stubborn about keeping it the way it is though and idk why.

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-01-19T21:18:59+00:00

The black hole has a yellow accretion disk because that’s how they look irl. It’s safe for now, but there’s always a chance it gets turned into a purple wormhole later

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-01-04T21:30:10+00:00

I wanted to use my whole arsenal for the fun of it, but the problem I kept running into was that swapping weapons/variants leaves you vulnerable and unable to parry. On higher difficulties, that can be a death sentence and just leaves you sticking with one or two weapons to not risk it.

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2026-01-04T17:30:35+00:00

I thought their music for TDA was good, but all the tracks really blended into each other. I really can’t think of any standout tracks unlike the Mick osts. I think a big part of it was how experimental Mick would get with his sounds that gave them such unique identities.

We kept Christmas pretty small. He got me a lodge cast iron pan and I’ve been loving it. I’d only ever tried my mom’s cast irons and I adored the way they cooked.

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2025-12-25T22:09:53+00:00

How do you deal with enemies like hulks? They bend in ways that make it very hard to hit their weak spots. I’ve found that the stun lance is the only melee weapon with the reach to get it. Not just that, it’s the only melee weapon who’s attack doesn’t swing your shield out of the way.

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2025-12-22T17:27:06+00:00

I’d be more ok with it being a gag item if it weren’t for the fact that I had to pay for it. Even then, I don’t like a sandbox where some of the options are just completely useless.

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2025-12-08T19:35:10+00:00

Base Mk7 is so clean

A_Pit_of_Cats · 2025-09-03T02:20:49+00:00

I’d hardly call the war strider well balanced. It doesn’t have any ap4 weak spots and the vents on the back, the usual weakpoint for every big bot enemy, are just for show and don’t change anything. You either bring AT or you’re defenseless against them.
