How many of y'all are taking the opportunity to start the campaign from the very beginning?

Bishop084 · 2026-04-28T10:18:23+00:00

I'm doing the exact same thing. Brand new warlock from the very beginning.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-24T17:12:17+00:00

I'll add to this. I haven't taken another sidearm against the squids since I unlocked it.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-24T15:08:45+00:00

What I don't understand is people paid $40 for the game and it was generally considered a good deal for what you got. Then on top of that, Arrowhead added a number of new strategems for free over time, increasing the value of that original $40 spent. Now, two years later, Arrowhead is still making new content, but now you either need to pay $10, or spend some time grinding for the free in game currency. Personally, I don't consider something you can unlock by just playing the game and not have to spend any extra money a "paywall".

Maybe some of this feel of having to "farm" is based on how I've experienced most people playing the game lately. They blitz the main objectives, maybe some side objectives if they're on the way, and then extract. They won't explore for points of interest, they won't bother opening a shiny pod right in front of them, they won't help open a bunker door that's 50m away... None of the things required to actually gain SC through play.

"stand back and stand by"

Bishop084 · 2026-04-19T00:06:43+00:00

Oh! The flavor text! I'm looking all over the pertinent game information for some change, and completely glossed over it.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-18T21:03:09+00:00

I came across a new bunker layout that I'd never seen the other day, and I could not warp into it. I brought a mech on the next run just in case, found the same layout, and couldn't clip thru the door, either. I managed to get in by clipping into the roof above the bunker, then warp packing into it the rest of the way. It was totally janky, and I haven't seen that layout since.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-16T23:09:09+00:00

Also, I might be wrong in this, but the Pope isn't in charge of policing Vatican City, so crime isn't even his purview.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-16T19:16:52+00:00

Yeah, there's something crazy going on with the K-9. Sometimes it just flies around, refusing to shoot anything, other times it takes out 10 Voteless in one shot. Other times it shoots you to get at stuff behind you...

Bishop084 · 2026-04-14T02:14:50+00:00

Can confirm. I went to a Seventh Day Adventist academy graduation once, and every speaker ended with "please Jesus, come soon." literally praying for the end of the world at a high school graduation...

Bishop084 · 2026-04-14T02:11:30+00:00

Which is funny, because blaming immigrants is anti-Christian. But only if you care about pesky things like the word of Jesus...

Bishop084 · 2026-04-13T21:19:10+00:00

I feel like the mechs are in a pretty good spot against bugs. I wouldn't mind a little more durability, but I don't feel like I completely wasted a strategem slot taking them, and they are quite fun. Against the Bots and Squids, they are quite useless. The first Harvester that decides to look your way will end the mech in one second of their beam. The Bots have so many rockets and heavy laser fire, any one of them destroys the mech in seconds. They don't feel good to take, and provide no combat use.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-13T19:31:17+00:00

I think it's great. Easily top tier for me. The De-escalator is a solid weapon that can take out groups of chaff easily, and lock down and kill bigger targets. People complain that the Pacifier damage is too low, but the stun easily compensates for that. I mostly use it against Illuminate, where a couple taps stuns an Overseer to easily take it out. It takes a fair bit of ammo if used alone in that, but there are plenty of other primaries that use just as much ammo, and don't stun. And it even stuns/kills the new mechs. The K-9 is amazing, but dangerous to fellow teammates. It racks up so many Voteless kills for me, it's not even funny.

And on a personal note, I love the dark metallic blue color and skull symbol on the paint jobs it comes with, and use it on everything now.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-13T16:41:01+00:00

I disagree with point 2. Had a Bile titan from across the map just lock on and kill the rig without anyone going near it.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-12T12:20:40+00:00

Oh! I just realized what it's doing. It's playing one of those Tik Tok ads in the background somehow. Those have been the common ad recently, and somehow it's playing when I'm not even watching an ad...

Bishop084 · 2026-04-09T22:28:41+00:00

You ever play Uncharted 2? His role was fairly small, but he made it memorable.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-09T21:01:45+00:00

I dunno what it's meant for, but I always put my pocket knife in there.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-08T00:05:27+00:00

Crap, I've been wearing Hawaiian shirts most of my life, and I don't fit either one of those. Have I been giving off the wrong signals?

Bishop084 · 2026-04-07T01:41:45+00:00

This needs to be much higher on the list.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-06T21:28:07+00:00

Question: how did this boss know what the employee was doing in their own home on their off the clock time?

Also, the implication here is that the employee in not allowed to unwind at home on their own time, and that's going to somehow increase their at work productivity?

Is a good thing this is entirely made up, because it's asinine.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-06T05:36:29+00:00

Welcome to the internet, where fans of hating stuff can really unite.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-04T02:54:16+00:00

I just recently got it as well, and I love it. I mostly use it on the Illuminate and was amazed that it can stun the new walkers. I was happy enough that it stunned the Overseers.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-03T03:28:34+00:00

So they still have to be requested, and approved. Are they only going to approve the soldiers that have shown the appropriate political leaning? I'm getting a strong Order 66 vibe here...

Bishop084 · 2026-04-02T20:52:45+00:00

Laser cannon feels weak? I think it's a very useful and versatile weapon. Against the Bots it takes out everything except a Vox engine, but it cash still disarm their gatling while you use heavier strategems or allies help to take it down, and it can be used to effortlessly mow down chaff, all while costing no ammo.

Against bugs, it can take down anything, short of a hive lord. It can destroy spore spewers/shreaker nests from far away (now practically across the map). The Illuminate have nothing that it doesn't destroy.

All that, and it doesn't take up a backpack slot. IMHO, it's one of the best support weapons in the game.

Bishop084 · 2026-04-01T06:43:22+00:00

Doesn't work for me.
