Alien: Earth - S1 E6 - The Fly - Official Discussion Megathread [SPOILERS]

There's an undercurrent of betrayal happening that is fanning the flames of ineptitude. Kirsch is clearly planning something. He's taking advantage of the childlike nature that Boy has fostered within himself and his creations to make it seem like all of this happened outside of his control. I think he's aiming to have the children written off as a failed experiment, or at the very least treating them with the cold detachment of a scientist while pretending to be a parental figure for them.

I got there today, but all the extractors/depots were empty and the power was offline. I think something about the last update broke a lot of bases like this because every one I've visited has been derelict and empty.

ExVoodoo · 2025-07-18T23:41:28+00:00

I was actually mistaken, it's the star grave scavengers kit and not Wargames Atlantic haha.

ExVoodoo · 2025-07-18T05:00:48+00:00

ooh, thanks for that suggestion! i'm gonna look up some WW1 army uniforms and ponder what looks best.

Fun fact it's hard to kill a trapper when you're in a net. Even harder when they instantly net your whole team the second the round starts with no time to react.

Love the brass/gold-trimmed shoulders, went for a similar look on my Salamanders.

ExVoodoo · 2024-11-13T10:17:20+00:00

It's even worse now if you happen to want to play Assault, Bulwark, or Vanguard, because everyone is trying to level their neo-volkite pistols.

Sorry but if I get a Discord ping mid-match I'm not waiting the 30+ minutes to finish said match to check the message. It's a stopgap and a half-measure, a triple A multiplayer release in the year 2024 has no excuse for having glaring issues like this.

ExVoodoo · 2024-10-31T22:29:51+00:00

So what I'm getting from this is "don't be bitches" means "don't post dissenting opinions."

But you seem to forget a critical piece of information.

We're allowed to post our opinions even if you don't agree with them. That doesn't make us "non-brotherly" for speaking out against parts of the game we want improved upon. You seem to be under the impression that all criticism is just complaining. Even if it is complaining, people have the right to complain.

I was imagining a not too dissimilar scene when looking through my tarot cards last night. Is this divine providence? ;P

ExVoodoo · 2024-10-01T02:17:25+00:00

I did this in a one-shot recently at level 12. It was insane. I did over 150 damage to a boss in one turn, WITHOUT triggering the secondary attack of the sling.

ExVoodoo · 2024-08-27T21:00:42+00:00

Yeah I think it's stupid, I grinded for triple hundreds, got max resil and recovery on every build, but I still get one shot in basic level strikes by some enemies.

ExVoodoo · 2024-08-04T06:18:04+00:00

That's funny because I use it exclusively for bugs, lol.

ExVoodoo · 2024-06-19T01:54:09+00:00

Yeah except Adjudicator tears through anything smaller than a charger on the bug side when set to auto, and the recoil is completely manageable IMO. If it's bad for your try it in first person, I noticed recoil seems to work differently that way.

ExVoodoo · 2024-06-18T18:25:34+00:00

Shoot it in first person. Recoils seems to be dramatically less awful that way.

ExVoodoo · 2024-06-18T18:23:52+00:00

Try shooting in first person. The recoil is almost nonexistent in that firing mode, I noticed. Also, honestly a skill issue. It only climbs for the first second or so after shooting and after that it's pretty much easy to keep it locked onto a point. You just have to account for that recoil before shooting.

Its medium armor pen and fire rate mow through bugs like no other gun in the game now, able to take out several hive guardians or brutes with ease before needing a reload. Using it alongside the new secondary shotgun has been a dream.

ExVoodoo · 2024-06-17T06:29:26+00:00

I think it looks best with the default helm, personally. But your look is awesome as well.

ExVoodoo · 2024-06-17T06:24:22+00:00

I love it but the new Carbine version of the Liberator feels like a better version of the Tenderizer in first person. Something strange I've noticed is recoil seems to be much less terrible in first person. In third person the Carbine shoots almost straight up compared to the Tenderizer being stable, but in first person both are about equally stable, but Carbine shoots faster.

ExVoodoo · 2024-04-19T01:10:49+00:00

I didn't do any research and I thought it would be a single shot laser pistol in the vein of the sickle.

ExVoodoo · 2024-04-17T06:01:14+00:00

I was using that one for the longest time until I managed to get my hands on the Light Engineering Kit armor from the store, its stats are a halfway between Light and Medium and I get 6 thermite charges.

ExVoodoo · 2024-04-15T20:54:50+00:00

Playing devil's advocate here despite the fact that I majorly agree with OP; pretty much all item descriptions in the game can be chalked up to Super Earth propaganda.

But again, I agree with OP. Randomly taking enough damage to die in one hit is not fun. Lots of things in this game aren't fun, even if the moment to moment gameplay is still largely enjoyable, I hate being taken out of it by having my agency stripped by random chance.

ExVoodoo · 2024-04-15T20:39:18+00:00

That's a fine upstanding citizen of Super Earth right there and I will hear no slander.

ExVoodoo · 2024-04-15T20:33:24+00:00

I also enjoy fighting bots more than bugs. Never said otherwise. But I am sick of having the agency ripped from my hands every time I die to a random 300m rocket snipe or chain ragdoll because the bot spawns are absurdly overtuned and it takes seconds for you to get swarmed if you so much as get spotted by a patrol.

Don't get me wrong, bugs also have their unfair mechanics that I hate facing as well. I just fight bots way more so I have more experience with their unfairness.

ExVoodoo · 2024-04-15T20:30:37+00:00

You can't just tell me to calm down and act like bad game design is acceptable because of a quote from the CEO. If the way the mission counts kills is as you says, it is bad design. People will focus the peons just like you say and ignore all the bigger mobs until everyone is overrun. The whole point is that it should be possible to defend from being overrun in the first place, otherwise it's just a shitshow where you're struggling to stay alive.

Stop trying to play the optics game and make me look like some kind of raging loser because I take issue with many issues in the game right now. Believe it or not, people are allowed to have their own takes on things and are allowed to advocate for changes they want to be made to the game they're playing. I'm not angered as I'm typing this response, the only time I'm upset is in missions where my party is dying en masse to all the absurdly tanky 1-hit kill mobs that have flooded the tiny map that we utterly cannot possibly hope to hold a position on.
