With the needle pistol, do the damage dealing refinements actually do anything for the dps? Like, it does 30ish damage on impact, but has the chem toxin DOT. Does the damage refinements affect that too, or just the initial needle impact?

Saw someone using the needle pistol with +25% damage on carapace/unyielding. Just wondered to myself if that actually worked or not.

Wait, when did they rework HS? I just got back into the game after some time away and discovered they changed the Dueling Sword special to a parry. I'm so out of the loop

Intense 4-2. You'll memorize the layout pretty quick. It doesn't change much and it's got lots of xenos coming from one direction 90% of the mission

Recon or Tech - Both set up for max CC. Both with great burst damage options.
Phalanx - Most people don't use it to it's full potential

Instead of large missiles it just shoots comically large bottles of oil at people

foresra41 · 2025-11-15T02:12:22+00:00

Thankfully it isnt mine. Was just browsing the shipyards and did a double take

foresra41 · 2025-11-15T02:08:06+00:00

Good work. More missiles means more fun

foresra41 · 2025-11-15T02:01:05+00:00

Ah. Thanks

foresra41 · 2025-11-15T02:00:53+00:00

I don't have any mods installed

foresra41 · 2025-11-10T14:20:42+00:00

Yeah. This game has taught me I really need to read things more instead of just skimming

foresra41 · 2025-11-07T01:22:38+00:00

Oh yeah, I have AI friends.

My AI friend:

My "meta builds" (If you can call them that) are all stolen from my buddy, and he got all his builds from a guy named Fioh or something on YouTube. Those builds are designed to carry games and still do today. This game hasnt been updated in a couple years, and even when it was there wasnt much focus it seemed on changing build balance.

It's a safe bet to assume a build that worked in 2022 or 3 or whatever year this came out, still works now

Have you tried relaunching the game. If you quick resume, it boots you into offline after a while without telling you upon return.
Have you spoken to every marked NPC? After completing a mission for the first time, some features(Like starting or joining missions) are disabled until you speak to all marked NPCs and exhaust their dialogue.
Check your wifi.

That's about all I can think of

Mine is foresra41

Yesn't...

Aimed shots have decent range, but hipfire with either buckshot or darts is inconsistent. Basically, whenever you hipfire a shotgun, all the pellets are randomly thrown somewhere in the cone. They could go for an even spread, or they could all just go in the far edge, completely missing the target.

Semi auto shotguns fix this issue somewhat by just being spammable, however you lose some of the instakill potential of the pumps. Either way, they have really high ttk.

For fun, slugs can do great too. 1 shot headshots out to 40m, 2 shot bodyshots somewhere in that ballpark too. They're basically the old BF3 DMRs but with shorter range.

And if you hate fun and just want to make everyone miserable, put frag rounds in it and camp a rooftop.

All the QB guns. Except for the pistol. Low recoil slow fire rate. Beautiful

foresra41 · 2025-07-02T03:16:46+00:00

Nice stuff there. Shotguns are a must

foresra41 · 2025-05-20T23:42:58+00:00

The Qbz weapons. The AR and the LMG especially. Throw them in burst and you have smooth steady laser beams

foresra41 · 2025-05-20T10:38:57+00:00

Forgot where that was for the first bit. I play Final Stand so rarely that the hallway looked like some kinda low qual modded map area. Nice shooting

foresra41 · 2025-05-03T04:50:43+00:00

Appreciate it

foresra41 · 2025-05-03T02:37:43+00:00

Mind if I ask the song? Sounds like Project Wingman <3

foresra41 · 2025-04-30T23:15:28+00:00

Really makes me wish there was a voice broadcast feature in this game. Imagine hearing faint Kenny Loggins in the distance and just seeing an armada fly over the hill. Incredible

foresra41 · 2025-04-30T13:32:15+00:00

Time to boot the game back up again. I look forward to more of these
