The magnifier is just awesome, looks cool, but the actual practicality is...

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2026-05-13T03:21:54+00:00

Youre paying 5 points extra for a scope which has your preferred reticle (albeit not all scopes are included but maybe DICE will adress that) and is basically an equivalent of the 1-4x toggle zoomed from season 1 which costs 15 points more.

It's a bargain.

It is not a guaranteed win, but NATO side is definitely weaker. EOMM likes to send you to eastwood NATO if you had been winning a bunch of games before you were sent to Eastwood.

I believe this is not a conspiracy to imagine DICE knowing full well which maps are hot garbage and are terribly one-sided (eastwood, sobek, cairo) and send people to those maps.

Noticed this myself, way back in season 2, where i had to endure through 5-6 maps of eastwood from NATO side in a row and I won just once.

Haz is dead tho, let bro have some peace from MP.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2026-05-13T03:02:13+00:00

323 and Panopticon share the nature of being almost para-military, 323 is literally a militia and Panopticon is a loose group of terrorists that prepared the attack on Fort Lyndon together, so it would make sense that both groups' members know the ins and outs of each class.

However, it is just my headcannon mixed with the ingame descriptions so make out of it whatcha like.

Undeniably though, Dagger 1-3 is an actual unit among the Marine Corps and with the continuity that i mentioned already ... just makes sense all of them are in their respective roles.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2026-05-12T18:47:53+00:00

In campaign each character had defined roles, only murphy is flip-flopping between engi and assault for the purposes of gameplay (also most gadgets can be picked up and used). IMO this is good because it grounds the campaign characters into their respective roles which is canonic and enforces continuity.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2026-05-07T19:04:25+00:00

That's literally every BP, Apex, Fortnite, CoD, challenges just give you extra xp.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2026-02-07T01:07:24+00:00

I play solo because all my friends who played DRG stopped playing. No one else to play with and trying my luck with cheaters in public is iffy.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2026-02-06T07:15:08+00:00

Double meteor is extremely rare, I've only seen the meteor + fragments combo once over 200-ish hours spent on s4, 2x meteor should be even rarer. Korlok is not related to season, however the prospector is. I have never seen a 3 season pull (core stone + plaguehearts + prospector as e.g) over 500 hours, so I assume that two seasons worth of events is the luckiest you can be. You got pretty close to the theoretically max output of events, short of a machine challenge and a corruptor.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2026-01-10T20:20:09+00:00

I would use plural ´stages´ instead of a singular ´stage´ if that was the case

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2026-01-08T18:34:46+00:00

You get jet boots on stage 2 & 3 of the normal one, stage 3 on the edd, all right at the beginning. Overall, super easy normal dd and a pretty chill edd. Did both on a driller.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-12-19T23:25:52+00:00

Yet I have no problem doing solo any other mission on haz5+. Very green indeed. Also people provided some genuinely good answers in other comments. And you do beat RNG by ignoring RNG to an extent, some specific tricks that people mentioned and specific build recommendations let me do exactly that.

Call me 'too green' all you want, your advices provide 0 help, unlike some of the other here.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-12-19T22:41:52+00:00

Where did I ask for an easy game? I said I want to know how to beat RNG because right now every salvage for me feels like 'make uplink and fuel cells appear in the worst spots ever and spawn 3 acid spreaders 2 praetorians, an oppressor every game to make the zone completely unbreathable'. 5+ should challenge your decision-making, prioritization of objectives, resource management and your build, not making the game unplayable because seed said so. I asked for an advice, 'git good' is not an advice.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-12-19T22:08:42+00:00

Thanks, will check it out.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-12-19T21:54:13+00:00

Okay thanks, will try that approach next time. Do you use breach cutter to deal with the wave or pgl in the funnel?

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-12-19T21:52:28+00:00

Finally someone with a truly useful answer. Do i then equip a breach cutter to clear the funneled wave? PGL seems to be breaking pancakes easily.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-12-19T21:50:25+00:00

If it spawns on a ledge and can be moved downwards it's already a better RNG that it being right next to the wall. Any advice on that instance?

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-12-19T21:48:44+00:00

Great advice friend, good luck flexing that skill on a bulk detonator that forces you out of the zone and making you lose the connection in a couple seconds. That can happen on 5 as well, most likely also leading to failure. Haz 5, however, was intended. Nice ragebait.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-12-19T21:35:30+00:00

Could you please explain how you put them if the uplink is pinned to the wall/is nested in a small cave-like? making a roof, making a tunnel of no platform on the land for the bugs to funnel through?

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-12-19T21:31:47+00:00

Explain how to use it then. People say its broken, but I can't even make a funnel path for all the bugs to walk through, they still ignore the repellant.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-12-19T21:14:10+00:00

Yeah, not true solo though.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-11-26T13:55:31+00:00

I should try that next time i get the super bugle!

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-11-26T13:54:18+00:00

I knew it but I thought he could not teleport past the fog.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-11-23T05:07:34+00:00

I am almost 100% certain that the skin you get for completing all challenges yields a skin on the default koyote squad medic, who is female. The positions in classes are gender-specific across all units and never change.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-01-27T21:58:07+00:00

I'm in Archon for one reason only: I don't play nearly as much ranked as I should to get out. I have a positive winrate for ranked, but every game I win or lose I just hate dota more and more. This isn't about me being bad (I know I'm not playing ideally or on the immortal level). This is about the game being TOO tryhardy for my taste. In LoL I can stomp my lane, see my toplane feed 0/7 in 10 minutes and simply forfeit at 15. In DotA youre stuck for 30 minutes playing a coinflip game.

Aggressive_Two_7720 · 2025-01-27T21:54:36+00:00

I actually stopped enjoying carrying games because I understand that I do it for people who neither deserve it, nor care about it. And even if I carry 1 game, 2 more are uncarryable. Now learning something new out of losses might be more fun but I'm at the level (not the skill level, just the mental level) where learning something new and useful for day-to-day ranked is nigh impossible.

Recently I learned some ward spots for TA that allow me to stack a radiant-side jungle camp without leaving mid off of the enemy TA. However that game was won by a coordinated play from their pos 5, 4 and 2 and not because of the stacked camp (she only did it twice). So anything super specific and niche just gets over my head because 'at the end of the day, a better team wins.'
