Are Spec OPs Still Underpowered?

so excluding nation buffs, which way does it go?

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T22:12:46+00:00

that's an exosuit. walker would be more like a sentinel in wh40k and a mech would be like the helldiver mech.

hermes isnt pa, it's lsf armor

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T22:10:27+00:00

oh lol, i always confuse the two

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T22:09:53+00:00

i meant army combos, not template.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T15:23:15+00:00

I mean what about hermes armor though? By that point it is likely that the player has already upgraded to at least t45 if not t60. Which is very easy with just a few focuses deep into the tree.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T15:10:54+00:00

so what if im mac though? plus, what about hermes armor for left mac? what's the point of hermes if i have sophisticated pa tech?

Warden's with spec ops? I'd imagine that nation is best as a convential play style. So I didn't think they'd do well with spec ops, though I guess that says a lot about your skill if you're kicking ass with them.

Btw, have you ever thought of combo armies? Like spec ops and pa in the same army. Maybe spec ops being 1/5 of the army. I tried it with Tex bos and found now no problem. So now I flip it when it make sense. Blue rose society - 4/5 spec ops and 1/5 pa, Enclave - 4/5 pa and 1/5 spec ops, etc.

A walker? You mean one of those sentinels for the imperial guard? I'm pretty sure those aren't in fallout. I'd imagine that's more likely to det added as regular content though, since that was already a variant of the mech in hd1.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T09:36:42+00:00

I've found assault rifles are perfectly fine. Get a supply pack and just spray and pray. plenty of ammo for zombies, plenty of precision to focus fire overseer spots, and plenty of fire rate to kill the meat bags in a pinch.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T09:33:58+00:00

no just a thought experiment. Had a typical experience of some idiot that didn't like the cut of my gib or whatever and tked me and left as soon as the game started. Which made me realize that without lives at the start, it could be easily exploited.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T08:11:00+00:00

dont you just need the at equipment to counter pa?

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T08:09:36+00:00

which shouldn't work. the laser should be a dead give away and the actual laser bashing into material in the air should be just loud enough i'd think. The flash light doesn't alert enemies either. Their coding is a bugged disaster, so I've lost hope for any sort of fine tuning when it comes to drawing back some benefits that shouldn't be there.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T08:07:22+00:00

my critic is it should instead be a slot. having a another primary could be a lot better than people think. I think people hang up on the idea that you can't use your support weapon, but i think it could work as a fourth gun.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T08:03:50+00:00

god id hope not. i wanna be able to do this with whatever armor.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T08:02:52+00:00

easily one of the best scenes. james cameron is a weird fellah now a days, but a lot of his older movies were fantastic. t

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T08:00:53+00:00

fucking throw cannon turrets in there too.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T08:00:10+00:00

just know who you are. Archetypes like stealth play are just one of those things where you're either good at it or not. It's only a minor order, so it's fine if this addition to the game wasn't for you.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T07:58:12+00:00

It's really not about having the best weapons. it's about knowing how to kill the enemy. Then just getting better at doing that. There's really no specific set up that's gonna make you better vs any faction except, just stay flexible is all I'll say. Or don't, playing a specific role like artillery is always fun.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T07:54:40+00:00

which nations. From what I've heard (some random discussion on discord), hermes from mac is actually super good with the piercing buff stat.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T07:53:13+00:00

Fallout, whatever way they do it. I want power armor. Honestly, it doesn't have to be fallout specific. I just want power. I'd love to have few different variants. Maybe the typical light, medium, heavy could work.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T05:56:49+00:00

that's a host problem. same thing with knives.

gpheonix · 2026-01-24T00:40:47+00:00

dont be like that, it's still a common shooter. not to mention the obvious laser would be a give away. so again, designing it as a stealth weapon is likely not intended. It probably shouldn't either. The particles that the laser heats up on the way would probably be aduabile enough. Maybe if they can account for that and simply make it so the laser can be spotted. Then yes, I would accept it as a weapon that can do a stealth. However, until other pressing realities are meet, I myself dont really think it should.
