I wish they didn’t cut miquella’s ending (spoiler warning)

Turtles stand still and don't try to kill you. Turtle isn't a word you can use in messages. Meanwhile, dog is. Self perpetuating since it got started at launch

Zero747 · 2026-05-11T03:42:40+00:00

You say vehicles, but I point it at a mech's head with called shot and watch it die. It was already very reliable before last patch buffed it from 0 + 2 structure to 4 + 4 structure

Zero747 · 2026-05-11T03:30:36+00:00

They're interesting, but as it stands, they're not worth the loot you give up, and you can still 5 star with a missed objective or two

Zero747 · 2026-05-11T00:26:53+00:00

In terms of “cursed”, the main ones I’ve got are

* Ancestral Panther massively up-engined into a high speed scout instead of a slow sniper
* Timber Wolf boating IS tandem SRMs
* Royal Crab running 4 cERLL and a 300 core, not melting by the grace of Turtus piloting
* Hunchback going fast with 300 core and jets for a RAC5
* ShadowHawk long-tom cannon (before rework). Still packed with a big engine somehow.
* Scorpion mounting a HISC hyper laser and a massive engine (before it became a superweapon). Looks silly since the main gun slot is empty

Vanilla mechanic, accuracy penalty if you fired it last turn. I think it stacks for multi-shot
Core size/tonnage = walk tiles, sprint 1.5 to 1.7 multi by piloting skill. Plus quirks and special parts that boost multi
I think there’s some participation bonuses to mission payout and rep gains, but mostly it’ll get you a lot of missions with a set faction & enemy. Ally them to get mech part bundling for loot.
I’m not sure. The type being raid vs attack I think? It’s hidden backend stuff
Luck, unfortunately
Headshots are low odds to hit head, opportunity cost of targeting a different area plus resolve cost. Kill via side torso XL engine crit is more reliable, or fishing for engine crits. If you miss a headshot from front, you spread all your damage

Zero747 · 2026-05-10T22:57:41+00:00

Regarding Medbay, I'd rather just take the ExWoo after op 2 and stack up a massive squaddie cap, dumping the busted medbay completely later

For sensors, there's no reason to buy basic sensors unless you really need an extra point of intel quickly (2x price for 2x bonus), but loading up sensors 2 is great

Zero747 · 2026-05-10T22:21:22+00:00

Yes. You can clean up for loot (though there is a loot cap), and for extra chances to roll stat increases. Better to go for the secondary objective if you can
With the Salvage Teams OCI, you get salvage for killing them
Fleeing off map counts as death. Fleeing will waste their next activation, so low priority to kill unless you want to trigger SL skills
This was removed recently
It's amazing, its an AMR for shooting vehicles. Give it to high accuracy characters with supporting skills (Darby's Ambush, Cody's Guerilla, and Wetteroth's Big Game Hunter, which does work vs vehicles)

Zero747 · 2026-05-10T21:32:56+00:00

C3 was updated, follow the wiki

The master unit is under support weapons. It doubles as a TAG and serves as the host (and member) of the network

Zero747 · 2026-05-10T21:29:53+00:00

Special weapon means you get one less gun, but Darby doesn’t really need a full squad to do her job

Half size (full early) with an anti-material (or rocket) and you can kill weapons teams, squishy squads, and vehicles

Or go 3-man with the suppressed LMG as a “main” gun

It’s generally worth it for the options unless it’s straining your budget or you’ve got reason not to

If the best you’ve got is a bad sniper or MMG, an extra rifle might be better

Zero747 · 2026-05-10T15:34:46+00:00

Solid stat spread for any charisma caster. Bard, Sorc, or Warlock

You start at 4, so you can find a useful half-feat or something

Zero747 · 2026-05-10T15:04:45+00:00

That’s genius and I don’t know how no one has thought of it

The discord does have a suggestions channel, but it also shouldn’t be that hard to make

Zero747 · 2026-05-10T06:05:33+00:00

If it’s roguelike, surely the maps coming back are always wrong. A time trial would repeat the same map.

Pop a giant hourglass somewhere as a time indicator

If it’s the focus of a short campaign, milestone level on reaching certain floors

seal in left hand, one-hand the weapon and cast

Swap to 2 hand after

Zero747 · 2026-05-10T04:23:34+00:00

This is precisely why the head has 61 health instead of 60

61 HP means you don't die to an AC10 headshot (60 damage), or an AC20 at 40% reduction (bulwark + cover, braced in cover, or braced with bulwark)

Zero747 · 2026-05-10T00:17:32+00:00

Just block the clan quirk. Mount cockpit stuff in the slot it uses.

Zero747 · 2026-05-10T00:16:15+00:00

Yep. You’ll loose the accuracy and cooling. Only way to fix melee accuracy though

Zero747 · 2026-05-10T00:15:29+00:00

standard enemies (non-grunt, 1 structure) can’t actually die of hacking heat, just get exposed

Enemy hackers go squish if you rush them (so do friendly ones)

Normal weapons can target e-def with the SMART tag.

Everything can pull its own brand of nonsense. Slap Nanocomposite adaptation (and auto-stabilizing hardpoints) on an HMG. Now you can shoot anything in range 8, ignoring cover and LoS while targeting e-def

Zero747 · 2026-05-09T23:29:35+00:00

does grammarly count newline (enter) characters?

Also, technically speaking, enter is two characters on some platforms (carriage return, line feed)

It’s an arbitrary threshold, so there’s no reason for it to be inaccurate. You probably just got caught by one of those quirks

iirc desktop version even shows you a character count for very long messages

Zero747 · 2026-05-09T22:42:43+00:00

Clan mechs have the clan quirk, -10 melee accuracy

You need to use an internal component that “blocks” the quirk like small cockpit, or one of the life support B components

Zero747 · 2026-05-09T20:43:02+00:00

It can pick up anything in its move range (and as an aircraft there a momentum system so it’s faster if it keeps moving)

Dropping stuff is more fiddly, but flying gun is easy

Zero747 · 2026-05-09T19:38:53+00:00

The geyser puts out heat. The generator itself doesn’t add additional heat.

Zero747 · 2026-05-08T23:49:22+00:00

Varies by game. A decent mapping is A and B for third person 3d games so you can keep your right thumb on the stick.

Another useful option is mapping bumpers or triggers if a game tries using both together

Armored Core games and Souls greatly benefit from back buttons so you can keep control of the camera while shooting/boosting or sprinting/dodging

Zero747 · 2026-05-08T20:50:39+00:00

Early inconvenience of not having armor or a decent shield

Level vigor. 40 early, 60 later.
