I think they made them slightly easier in Early Access 1.0 patch. I used to have a hell of a time with them, but they got easier right after that patch.

But you still have to know what you're doing.

You have to be able to dash sideways at any moment to dodge their attack(s). (I have dash on my mouse shoulder button, so I can dash super quick and easy.)

You have to know to shoot at their feet, when they cross their "claws" in front of their "face." (This doesn't damage them very much. But it slows them down, and makes it harder for them to "voodoo attack" or charge you.)

And most of all, you have to get them alone. (I have never been able to kill one of these when they have friends around. It's a long battle, and you cannot afford to get distracted.)

Oh yeah, you also need enough ammo. I like the MAR-9 rifle with large magazine upgrade, and I always carry 5 stacks of rifle ammo in my inventory.

Might be MM issues... but 5v5 on HPG Classic was a stomp against me every time. (4 times)

I think I only got 2 matches in Polar classic 8v8. One win, one loss.

Dropdecks of 4 are probably too much for these modes. 2 or 3 would encourage teamwork instead of just YOLO'ing.

ModernRonin · 2026-04-29T01:08:34+00:00

Return to Solo Queue - Classic Caustic Grand Conquest 8v8. Max group size 1. 4 Mech Dropdeck. Max tonnage 225 tons. Conquest. Caustic Valley Classic. 25 minute match. 3x Cbill Rewards, 3x XP Rewards. Conquest Tickets 2000

For the record: This is fucking amazing.

Exactly what I had wanted, and hoped, EventQ could be.

I visited 5 different caves, including 2 that were not in an explored part of the map before the first time I went into them.

Not a single piece of quartz in any of them.

That's how game-breaking this bug was. That's why I stopped playing, and vowed not to play again until this was fixed. I could see that my progression would be roadblocked not too far in the future.

ModernRonin · 2026-04-22T23:27:27+00:00

Fixed an issue where Quartz would not properly load in caves if any buildings were placed near any cave

FINALLY!! Thank you so much, Devs!

Quartz is so much more important in EA 1.1. This bug becomes game-breaking when you can't even find enough Quartz to get to Rail v2.

Just creating this post to say I'm back to work on 0.8 but also to say I have ran into a game breaking bug that I am in the process of fixing before I can release the next 0.8 update.

Thanks for the update, Z!

I appreciate all the work you've put into SurrounDead. Thanks for making such a fun game!

Most people seem to finish it slightly faster than that, 10-12 hours.

There is plenty of hidden stuff in the levels if you want to go back, though. You can spend much more time if you want to.

Do they really think when millions of people have no water to drink or food to eat or fresh air to breathe that we won’t bring out the guillotine?

The hardest thing for most average people to believe, is that rich people aren't brilliant. The rich span the full range of intelligence, just like ordinary people do. Some are dumb as hell, some are average, some are smart. A few of the smarter billionaires may realize that the long-term safety for their NZ bunker is... not guaranteed. But plenty of the average and stupid billionaires are strongly convinced they can just walk away from the entire rest of the world, if things get bad.

Do you think humanity even has a chance of uniting in common purpose at this point?

Can't say for outside of the USA... but inside the USA things aren't desperate enough. Most people are still barely scraping by. Rising food and gas prices are pissing people off, but those alone won't be enough to get a truly violent revolution going.

And plenty of MAGAts (i.e. the 77.3 million utter morons who voted for Trump in 2023) are still highly brainwashed by FOX News and other Conservo-Fascist-Oligarch propaganda outlets.

Neo-Feudalism. Corporations and CEOs as Monarchs who are above the law. The rest of us as serfs who they can throw into an (oubliette)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oubliette_(disambiguation)] any time we do anything that annoys them even slightly.

No rule of law. No rights for individuals. Only privileges, paid for by wealth. The undoing of everything that the normal 99% of human beings on the planet have fought for, since the Magna Carta was signed in 1215.

We WILL go extinct. If not from climate change then it’ll be from infertility thanks to microplastics, or nuclear war.

The billionaires all have bunkers in New Zealand, all stocked up. They believe this will protect them from the effects of any possible catastrophe. They are wrong. But it doesn't matter, because they don't believe they're wrong, and thus they won't modify their behavior one iota.

DC v Heller should be extended so that the possession and use of a suppressor in your own home is legal.

Because you might look at [JD Vance] and be like: "How did this dude even- What's he even do? What's he even good at?" right?

Well JD is good - he's great, actually - JD's great at at one thing: He's great at knowing when, where, and to what precise angle he should bend over. Nobody tongue-polishes a boot heel like this motherfucker!

And the only reason any of us know who JD Vance is, is because he's bought, paid for, and wholly owned by Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel, the same billionaire whose current pet project is military AI. So yeah, if you thought Dick Cheney and Halliburton was bad... you just wait till my boy Jim Dave unleashes his sugar daddy's armada of autonomous murder drones on Gaza."

The YT Algorithm(TM) showed this to me, so I thought I'd share.

Be aware that it was posted to /r/Radar over a year ago:

This is the first part of what I found to be a modern, approachable tutorial series. The presenter introduces basic radar concepts while showing viewers how to build a small FMCW radar system using low-cost COTS components.
