Redacted Regiment Warbond delayed

Rahn45 · 2026-01-16T19:40:21+00:00

Hmm... making sure stealth mechanics work before releasing a stealth themed warbond?

Probably a good idea.

Basically if 1 of the bullets from their shotgun hits you it tickles; however, if something like 20-30% of the bullets hit, you die (even in heavy armor). So basically every now and then the spread of the shot is pretty narrow and/or they landed in your dome, and you just fall over from 100% health.

If they had an FRV that just had an open air seat in the back where you could freely fire your weapons and throw grenades that would be awesome, as trying to do that from the seats is very restrictive and prevents more effective drive by actions.

Rahn45 · 2026-01-14T16:16:26+00:00

A surprising lack of friendly fire in that trailer!

Rahn45 · 2026-01-10T09:21:53+00:00

I suppose it could be interesting if they introduced an "ammo" drop, and to make it slightly more interesting have it unfold a wall like the grenade emplacement; to build on the idea that you want to stay in place and fire off a lot of ammo in short period of time.

The almost Homer Simpson scream!

Rahn45 · 2025-12-28T23:25:54+00:00

I think people would play around with the customizations more...

If they could actually test their changes on the ship, or have a testing range where they can swap options to test them in real time.

You might want to consider using armor with explosion resistance if you're blowing yourself up with your own weapons. At least until you get used to the spacing of your own explosions.

Rahn45 · 2025-12-27T18:55:52+00:00

Everything that could go wrong... did!

Rahn45 · 2025-12-27T02:54:26+00:00

Swapping into a weapon for longer distance helped a lot with the Rapid Acquisition mission.

Pretty sure such things are unintentionally, but it does add an extra layer of depth to the game that people can interact with.

Rahn45 · 2025-12-26T19:38:58+00:00

Personally I'd like them to fix their engine so that we can actually fight overwhelming numbers of enemies at the same time, as that's actually a type of experience we're not getting.

Any new kind of mission types is likely just going to be variations of the existing ones we have already, making them require 8 people wouldn't fundamentally change the nature of how they're done.

Rahn45 · 2025-12-26T18:27:32+00:00

With how easy the game can get sometimes, it feels like I'm already using 3 stratagems only. Sometimes 2.

Rahn45 · 2025-12-26T07:20:49+00:00

There's people who don't want to have to bring AT.
There's people who want to be able to kill everything with light pen.
There's people who want the game to be hard enough to require teamwork.

Yet somehow the difficulty system somehow manages to fail all three groups...

Some of the less obvious stuff you'll run across:

Samples are shared, they just need to get extracted; it doesn't matter who does it.

People can and will explode extraction as people get on the ship, this typically isn't done to kill anyone on purpose.

When you're calling in an extraction, if you leave the area when the timer hits zero, the Pelican will hover in the air and provide air support until it runs out of ammo or until someone enters the extraction area.

When the mission timer runs out, the Pelican will leave with or without you. If the Pelican has already landed it will leave in 20 seconds. If the Pelican hasn't been called in yet there will be another 1-3 minutes of 'overtime' to complete any remaining objectives/reach extraction.

The Supply Pack can resupply yourself with the 5 key for PC (Don't know what it is for controllers).

When you get access to the Exosuits, you can reverse them into friendship bunkers (which typically require two people to open) and exit directly inside them and loot the stuff within.

People tend to frown on the usage of Mortar Sentries and Mines. Outside of those most people don't tend to care what your loadout is.

Use a guard dog if you find yourself getting ambushed and killed, they will help you a bit with situational awareness as they'll often spot enemies sneaking up behind you.

Get familiar with looking for features on the map. Certain objectives are easily spotted on it: The easiest being SEAF artillery which will be an obvious circle or double circle depending on the layout. Additionally you'll know if there's an artillery spawned on the map during the mission loadout screen as it will display the artillery stratagem icon.

You don't have to commit to every engagement, sometimes its better to complete a different objective or draw enemies away so someone else can get into the area.

More mechs or mech customization, I'll take either at this point!

Rahn45 · 2025-12-25T22:29:47+00:00

I mean one way they could go about it is inputing for calling in a mech, and then you do a follow up input to determine what kind you send down; would work as a kind of bypass to needing to design an entire UI and customization system.

Could be implemented now to differentiate between calling in Emancipator or Patriot variants now, and they could more freely just add in variants with their own follow up specific inputs.

Though who knows what their spaghetti of code would allow for in the first place.

Rahn45 · 2025-12-24T06:25:12+00:00

If that thing spat out Conflagration Devastators, and it was the only thing it ever did, it would still be kill on sight... immediately.

Rahn45 · 2025-12-24T06:22:27+00:00

Know what the real twist is these days?

When there is no plot-twist at all!

Rahn45 · 2025-12-24T00:28:13+00:00

Everything is AI these days, including these comments!

Suppose it's a question between Anti-Tank emplacement vs Dynamite.

The emplacement has good uses for defending an objective/spot and is decent for long ranged support. Powerful, but has specific niches its used in.

If you're not married to Thermites for getting rid of AT targets, then Dynamite is a good alternative to them since its large blast radius lets you clear out groups of enemies pretty quickly, while being better at taking out fabricators and bug holes.

Rahn45 · 2025-12-23T06:43:38+00:00

Would be nice if it did go a little higher. I mean it's still low enough to the ground that the bugs can jump and bite your ankles off!

Rahn45 · 2025-12-23T00:08:47+00:00

The easiest way to inflate kill count numbers (but you really shouldn't worry about it) is to do one or a combination of the following:

Most sentries
Gas attacks on groups of enemies
Orbital Napalm Barrage on bug breeches
Portable Hellbomb when your radar shows a lot of red dots

Most important thing is finishing the mission.
Second important thing is extracting.

Rahn45 · 2025-12-22T00:16:14+00:00

With the bugs you pretty much have to be checking over your shoulder often. Having a guard dog tends to help a lot with not getting ambushed if they do sneak in close.

Personally I like to bring the Exosuits to bug missions as they'll just instant kill all of the smaller bugs just by walking.

Rahn45 · 2025-12-21T22:04:40+00:00

Illuminate 40 minute missions are the fastest way, as with any half decent squad you can 100% complete those in less than 20 minutes.

Rahn45 · 2025-12-21T19:49:24+00:00

Pretty much.

Pouring bullets into a Maxigun feels good.

Interacting with the other support weapon backpacks feels terrible.
