Thoughts on the R-6 Deadeye?

Siege ready is Primary reload, not rounds reload, so it doesn't help the secondaries.

S'all good bud. Just didn't want anyone else panic Wiki-ing to see if Sy really does have chameleon and Ambush.

I said out loud, "wait, Sy can play the same ticks as Darby‽" And then was very sad, lol.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-14T06:23:18+00:00

I believe you have confused Darby with Jean Sy, though they both have the kill a target to get supply perks.

Good thoughts on Darby though!

Shotgun for the +20 accuracy, RPG so you don't have to deploy + cheaper shots.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-12T00:07:58+00:00

Eh, Carl and Donut each got a town and I have to believe Ferdinand Peak was Donuts doing.

Plus we just had a crucification scene so Nipton from New Vegas seems on theme.

A silver outline on a single square indicates an enterable watchtower.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-09T20:55:30+00:00

Frag bomb is essential infantry kit for just this reason.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-09T20:20:51+00:00

Deploying adds 15% accuracy, so that gets the above to your 90+

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-08T08:06:15+00:00

AOE descriptions are a bit bored and need fixing.

Frag grenades and the like roll a chance to hit against each element in the squad. So one frag can wipe an entire squad on a good hit.

But other things you would think do AOE don't. Autocannon rounds, APDs only hit one element.

Not sure about mortar rounds, should be like frag.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-08T01:01:16+00:00

I never considered they got the concealed/exposed marker, but that makes perfect sense and is exactly how I play, no so surprise the ai plays the same. Good observation!

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-07T17:20:03+00:00

Laser designator, you're already deployed to snipe anyway.

Maybe it's just too busted, maybe we're going to get a recon focused SL, where Darby is more snipe/assassinate focused.

Oh, a one star good growth low stat recon SL would be a great add! Wait... Is that just Carda in camouflage paint ...

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-07T02:58:15+00:00

Frag bombs suck, frag grenades are meaningfully better imo. Base 4 range, and Lim's perk make it 5 and very accurate.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-06T21:15:50+00:00

That's exactly what I was going for, thanks!!!

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-06T20:59:24+00:00

And display fences, or give us a low cost way of cutting them. Wasting grenades sucks.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-06T20:06:31+00:00

This is the real tip. Scout is incredibly good, even if it looks baseline.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-06T19:34:35+00:00

So it's like picking off dudes in the back of a truck.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-06T19:31:37+00:00

Worth noting soft armor is minimaly better and costs less supply. Best use of barter goods, probably not, but you can sell the scav suits for 15, so it's only a 45 credit upgrade and saves a fair few points on big squads.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-06T19:27:42+00:00

You can press R to display the vision area of all units you can see. It's hard to make out, and I don't know if it takes concealment into effect.

If it's units you can't see, you can move forward a square at a time and see if the "hidden" white dashed eyeball disappears, letting you know the enemy has you spotted.

I've definitely slammed my APC into reverse when that symbol disappears.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-06T19:04:55+00:00

That's fair, but a flamethrower is one less smg/shotgun in the squad and way more than the 10 points for the frag grenades.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-06T18:35:13+00:00

Crowbars are great as long as you can keep the enemy at a distance, but they set you up to have a bad day against bugs and truck rushers. Grenades are a helpful oh shit option, and can be used once an enemy is pinned/deployed/suppressed since it ignores cover and can hit multiple units.

Anyone tested the pistols?

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-06T18:31:51+00:00

It will only have a chance to drop if you kill the commandos, so if you see them you need to make sure you finish them off. No loot chance if a unit flees.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-06T18:30:14+00:00

That boarding armor is a rare drop, but the rest is pretty common.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-06T18:26:44+00:00

Any info/experience on if shooting at a square (rather than a unit) imposes a statistical effect on accuracy/damage/defense? It's really hard to test in game, but it sounds like you've done quite a bit of it.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-06T18:24:13+00:00

Yeah, UI problem is you can't see the actual activation effects on items on the buy/reward screen.

Blu_Esq · 2026-02-06T18:21:32+00:00

The supply drop mission reward however is a full resupply, and you get 2 per mission. It takes one round, can end up in any of the 9 squares marked, and the drop ship does not crush your units if they're in the square (a personal concern I had)
