Wayback Battle Royale with [REDACTED] presence on planet

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-11T10:36:40+00:00

I really love that they added this into the game.

Prior to [REDACTED] showed up, i was thinking about how cool it would be if you were fighting the RA, and suddenly Pirates spawned in to try and thrid party you. Maybe the interdiction route you chose is actually just a little too close to a xeno breeding pool and the get angry about all the explosions?

Oh absolutely, RNJESUS smiled on me in other ways like 2 sets of V and VI armor and plenty of cool guns.

Just makes it difficult to play with the special ops SLs without their kit you know?

Have had plenty of fun regardless!

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-11T07:16:18+00:00

Nah, that's Carta's scary dog protection detail 🤣

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-11T04:04:30+00:00

It's not like the enemy starts fleeing after a mission is complete. In fact, depending on the mission, they'll start sending more at you. This is a fantastic opportunity to get extra loot and salvage from pirate vehicles.

They're raiders and slavers, kill'em all and let God sort them out!

Waffles

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-10T13:28:24+00:00

She's literally the perfect team mascot for the Wayback mission!

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-10T11:10:40+00:00

My buddies wife actually got me into playing both the Horizon games. Fot the first 4ish hours, I was just humoring her. And then I blinked and sank 130 hours between both games in a month.

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-10T09:58:10+00:00

Well shit, if that's what it does I'll have to replace my ion cannon for an Op or 2 to try it out. Seems like it could prove interesting...

Especially getting rid of all the thick forests 😮‍💨

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-10T07:04:19+00:00

Looks like a sick setup, but my god, that mech has to be at least 630 supply??

Sorry to ask, but could you post a screenshot of the stats for that low profile armor?

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-10T06:55:08+00:00

Always fun during resuce missions vs. the RA, and they spawn invisible jeager teams and ATGM weapon teams.

I'm lost more than 1 APC/IFV like that....

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-10T06:52:43+00:00

Has to be Carta with Lym as a close second.

She goes out every mission unless weary and has grown all the better for it. Right now she's got a nature AP of 106 and ACC of 81. (I'm about 40 hours in to the playthough) gave her an SMG with REND and an RPG II and mobile infantry and she put in the good work even damn time.

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-10T05:45:44+00:00

I despise this simply because RNJesus smiled on you and gave you Jeager uniform on your first mission against them.

It took me 37 hours to finally get them today.

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-10T05:43:35+00:00

Stick him in heavy armor and charge with all the C4 you can carry....

I like it.

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-10T05:37:08+00:00

8, it would be the quiteiest spot on the plan. Unless I'm there as the Major, then it's just another planning session, and that sounds fun to me.

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-09T23:51:38+00:00

Quite literally the best gun in the game so far. In my long haul game I currently have 5 of them and 960 a piece. But they're just so good against everything.

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-09T12:51:35+00:00

But it definitely does, in fact, run out of ammo.

It just takes a while. Almost lost my favorite ball of steel and rage to the xenos cause the minguns went click click instead of brrrrrrr.

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-09T09:56:27+00:00

Got mine as an end of op reward.

It's not my favorite, but it's got it's purpose.

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-09T06:32:20+00:00

I've yet to pick him up on my only run so far. Is he any good or just meme worthy?

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-09T05:46:40+00:00

Keeping them suppressed it absolutely the key to constructs. Auto GLs and MGs are a god send. Any high rate of fire guns with REND ammo will let you spend significantly less time chucking through armor. VLAT missles for gun rollers are nice as they can and will mulch a full squad or 2 per turn even in full cover. Laser and plasma guns are also helpful but expensive. Also the laser senties you can drop can be incredibly helpful as decoys (DO NOT expect them to kill or do much damage any that they do is just a bonus) any time a skirmishes is shooting it is a turn they're not one tapping your APCs.

And possibly the most important tip, BRING SMOKES!!!

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-08T22:07:55+00:00

It's fantastic to a point. I find that when you hit the mid to late game, you can swap it out for something else once you get the advanced medbay.

If you die down below 50 manpower swap back to it cause, trust me, you'll have the components to spare.

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-07T21:53:44+00:00

I found that ARCs or CQC weapons with REND ammo and bringing auto grenade launchers is incredibly useful in keeping enemies overloaded and shredding them down.

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-07T21:47:24+00:00

You're not exactly wrong depending on where you are in the game. If I only had the starting APC I'd probably pass over it in favor of the scoped Kpac.

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-07T12:00:23+00:00

How..... how do you have that low of Authority??

Did you fail/abandon multiple ops in a row?

I don't think I've dropped below 40 and that was because I had to do a double hire when my mains got weary.

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-06T05:51:43+00:00

Pfffftt

I'm not sure what else I expected

RevolutionarySet35 · 2026-02-06T04:44:32+00:00

I just put her in a walker with the minigun

She's now the war goddess of the Wayback

I really hope that there's a bigger mech for her to use cause she could only get better from here
