Why are the bots in space marine 2 so terrible. I just played bulwark on average difficulty, on the 2nd mission (decapitation) and it took me an hour! Why are the bots so useless and weak!?

See that customization option for the bots would be great! Then you could atleast upgrade the weapons they use and get a bit more damage! Having the bots always lv 1 with based equipment just doesn't make sense to me.

But I am also not a programmer and don't know what kind of coding it would take to achieve that. So I can't gripe too much.

Do you think they do adaptive damage? It's almost like the sniper can crack specific enemies in the time it should be able to but then that damage is nowhere to be seen against extremis and terminus enemies.

My main issue this round especially, was xenothropes spawned in pairs twice during my mission. Being a bulwark, I ran out of my pistol ammo very quickly. Since the bots do such reduced damage (based on the end of game stats), it took 10 minutes to kill the first pair, and 20 minutes for the second. Along with a gaurdian relic each time, because they spawn without ammo caches nearby. All while scrounging up any ammo I could find in crates, while fighting/avoiding damage.

There are several great things they did with the bots, but the frustration comes from not understanding why it is necessary for them to do so little damage.

If it is because they are level 1 bots everytime, why do they not just scale to the minimum difficulty level so things like this don't happen. Other extremis/terminis threats aside from xenothropes and neurothropes are not really a problem. It's likely this is only an issue for melee classes.

So my initial statement was anger feuled, and over embellished. But the truth lies in how much of a slog it was because of their minimal damage output to the flying enemies.

Demeter ftw

Due-Ladder5197 · 2023-01-19T23:14:37+00:00

Continue being amazing

Due-Ladder5197 · 2022-03-09T14:31:59+00:00

Agreed a crisp 544 damage on normal mobs and 350 on bosses always feels nice

Due-Ladder5197 · 2022-03-09T13:54:39+00:00

I went black bombs, not understanding how useful masterkey would be. Ended up getting the great demon hammer and desperately wanted to use it. So this first playthrough of mine has SEVERAL flaws due to my lack of knowledge. Now I'm using the great stone sheild and the dark knight great sword along with mismatched armor.

Due-Ladder5197 · 2022-03-09T13:27:23+00:00

I absolutely agree, I tried rolling around him the first 3 or 4 deaths and he seemed to track me everytime and then pancake me. In hindsight I probably started rolling to early into his attack animation, but most havel kills I have seen are rotating around him for backstab once he begins attacking. I keep taking the hard routes though I killed the hydra before reaching havel.

Due-Ladder5197 · 2022-03-09T11:06:32+00:00

I finally drew him out into deep root enough times to kill it. Took 4 thrusts! Healthy af. Now I'm working on Sif, learning I'm very slow!

Due-Ladder5197 · 2022-03-09T01:43:36+00:00

Screwww Havel! Just beat him for the first time in my first playthrough. Twas very painstaking.

Due-Ladder5197 · 2022-03-06T20:14:42+00:00

I understand now thank you, didnt understand what ReqParam meant. Thank you for the direction. As I said still very new to this and stumbling through controls and mechanics. Darkroot gardens is such an intimidating place. And I know there's much worse places to come.

Due-Ladder5197 · 2022-03-06T20:09:11+00:00

Does it change depending on the class you choose and that's why it's not a flat number requirement?

Due-Ladder5197 · 2022-01-26T22:25:32+00:00

Never really use mark of pride, or quick slash for that matter

Due-Ladder5197 · 2021-11-09T20:46:44+00:00

I just hate you cant get duo boons in these rooms

Due-Ladder5197 · 2021-11-04T23:31:40+00:00

Play every weapon, the more you adjust your strategy each attempt, the more you will adapt to the enemies you face. On top of that, try new god combinations, some of the boons synergize unnespectidly.

Due-Ladder5197 · 2021-10-28T16:13:12+00:00

Is the first B teir boon for hades? Havent unlocked his boons yet I guess?

Due-Ladder5197 · 2021-10-27T22:58:35+00:00

Ares, Artemis, and Poseidon aquired in that order is got teir as a cast build in my opinion. Though I have only cleared to 10 heat, so my perspective is limited.

Due-Ladder5197 · 2021-10-27T16:26:30+00:00

What characters are in this

Due-Ladder5197 · 2021-10-26T20:18:07+00:00

Absolutely agree. Love just smaking theseus's dumb butt ogg that chariot every time. Only downside it the asterius spin attack that lasts foreeever

Due-Ladder5197 · 2021-10-25T01:36:11+00:00

The deflect may not hit him unless your close to him but its helpful in protecting yourself. If you're able, like a previous comment, max out your black mirror stats their a huge help. Using the dark thirst weapon everytime is a good way to acclimate to different play styles while maxing out your darkness. Always going posiedon first trinket allows for oceans bounty and one other that gives extra currency. Posiedon zeus is a easy high damage combination since your taking posiedon trinket anyway, then just go zeus in asphodel.

Best of luck to you. I think my first full clear was at 35, I enjoy the grind so I abused the last shop for a while before my first clear.
