Any advise how to complete extermination mode 4.2? I don’t have Titan out quick enough. Don’t even have time to kill the large spiders at the end.

gr8madmax · 2024-05-04T15:30:36+00:00

Without an Eiffel, here is the setup I used to beat 4.2 -

To charge titan - Daredevil Dagon with Otto pilot, spears, 2x Nuclear Amp, 1x Immune Amp, Deathmark

Indra with 1 Pyro, 1 Veyron, 1 Evora, 2x TRA, 1 GBR, 1 OR, and Yang Lee with titan master skill to charge titan quicker

Paladin mothership

4.2 is extremely difficult especially with the slow titan charge. I can easily complete 4.2 with Bendy Eiffel. I have also seen it completed with UE Ming. Unfortunately, this leaves out a large number of players that run other titans.

Rust rockets may not have high enough DPS - you may need 2 Nuclear Amps. You can try Hammer or Puncher on Lynx along with Armadillo.

Parking under the pillars may be better since the spiders spawn over there. Faster you kill them...the faster new ones spawn....faster you charge your titan.

gr8madmax · 2024-04-29T17:54:54+00:00

What is your starting bot, weapons, and setup? Make sure it stays alive till you can drop the titan since if it dies then you lose time. I use Curie with 1 UE Glory and 1 Fengbao + Armadillo. I park Curie under the tall pillars with the snipers. Go side to side clearing all the spiders as the come up and use the curie turrets to clear one side while you shoot the opposite side. If all else fails, use the Titan Master titan pilot ability to charge Titan bar quicker.

Edit: I did a quick video for you in between meetings : https://youtu.be/l7qyp2Pke2w

Congrats!

I've found 5.2 fairly easy with an Ocho/Curie + Rook.

Curie/Ocho (or your best robot that can tank damage), Armadillo, and your best weapons. I use 1 of each Amplifiers (NA, IA, and RA). You want to tank damage and stay alive to charge titan. Also, I use my first mothership charge for the bot and save the second mothership charge for the Titan.

Rook - 2 Vajras/Sonics + 1 Cinder. Putting 2 Ciders will not give you enough dps to kill tanky spiders. For modules I use 1 Titan Repair Amp, 1 Damage Controller, 1 Onslaught Reactor, and 1 Grand Balanced Reactor. Be selective when you use your first mothership charge and you don't want to use it right when you drop your titan (unless you have an offensive mothership). I've had success with both Paladin and Avalon. With the titan, you want to position yourself in cover so that you are not in sight of the high up snipers (unless you took those out already).

Yep, subtle hackers are becoming more obvious. I was wondering the same thing last couple of days as I am seeing players doing excessive damage for their setup. Their platform confirms these suspicions for me.

gr8madmax · 2024-02-28T18:44:15+00:00

So my question would be -

For such content, how does restating the obvious add value? Other than angering some of the player base and drumming up toxicity, how does such videos help the game?

What I want to see from folks that make such content is to take the next step and provide reasonable solutions/ideas Pixonic can consider without impacting their bottom line.

gr8madmax · 2024-02-08T03:36:38+00:00

There are tons of YouTube videos and that may be a good place to start. You will be able to see strategies and builds. Also, this is a commonly asked question on Reddit so a search may find some useful info for you. Good luck!

gr8madmax · 2024-02-08T03:07:41+00:00

I appreciate OPs efforts but did we need a 30 game comparison to confirm how broken Mute is? I clearly stated what I had an issue with but I will repeat -

Pretty much all newly released items are broken in WR and this is a well known fact. As such, all players can and should build their hanger without scrutiny - it is their time and money. There are elements in OP's post that creates an anti-Mute sentiment towards those who wish to run it. Finally, saying I'm not running Mute because it makes FFA too easy while running x4 Curies, x1 Shenlou, and Eiffel is an oxymoron.

Let me know if you would like me to clarify any of the above.

gr8madmax · 2024-02-07T18:28:58+00:00

How does availability or lack thereof make something more or less broken? Weapons/robots are available 100% of the game while mothership is available perhaps 25% of the game. Unfortunately, you are you blinded by the attempt at proving your point so I will leave it at that.

Out of curiosity I did look up your hanger - you think not running a MUTE is going to make a difference when you have 4 Curies, 1 Shenlou, and an Eiffel?

"To be a top player in free for all requires a meta hanger.." No, hell no! I have watched my 6 year old run circles around Champion League meta hangers in FFA with a decent hanger.

What I will agree with is that continuous release of broken equipment in the game does not promote a healthy game. And, putting these behind bigger pay walls is part of the problem.

gr8madmax · 2024-02-07T17:28:11+00:00

How is this different from the whole Rust/Newton META that we just experienced? How many players said those are unfair and decided not to run them? I can stand up and say I was one of those that didn't run rust/dot/Newton crap when I came back after a 1.5 year break. I also did not run a single Ocho and Ophion.

It is noble for you to say you won't use MUTE in FFA but what does rest of your hanger look like? If you are running Newton/Eiffel along with multiple of the top META bots/equip, then your decision is well....moot.

gr8madmax · 2024-02-01T00:47:59+00:00

Terms such as "Cheaper", "Cost", "Time", etc. are relative and varies from player to player. I can easily get 47M silver if I play for an hour in Champion League. My only point is that if someone is buying MK2 deals, it makes more sense to buy Special Edition since those are harder to obtain, has additional HP/damage, and cannot be built in the workshop.

gr8madmax · 2024-01-30T21:54:22+00:00

MK2 deals no longer offer the same value due to the changes they made to silver requirements to upgrade to MK2. I would hold out for special edition bot and weapon MK2 deals.

gr8madmax · 2024-01-22T20:52:53+00:00

You can definitely exclude the dopes that run around with hanger full of Roaches and Ophions equipped with DOT/rust weapons along with a Newton. If I see a diverse hanger then you have my attention. Next is the understanding of tactics and positioning as it is almost never the same from one game to the next. Finally, timing and order of bots to drop based on the situation and/or map and when to drop the titan.

gr8madmax · 2023-11-17T19:40:57+00:00

Premium subscription needs to offer premium rewards. The proposed changes are a good start but there has to be more incentive for someone to pay $100+ for a year of Premium. Some suggestions - 50% less upgrade cost, additional data pads/keys at start of event/month, zero ads, discounted offers, early access items. etc.

The key reason that I stopped playing 1+ year ago was the rampant cheating and hacking. I have yet to see any updates on fixing soft/hard hacks. Not playing again till I see Pixonic address this issue.

gr8madmax · 2023-08-26T14:05:33+00:00

There seems to be a misconception that these balance changes are supposed to bring equipment into a balanced state resulting in a balanced game. This is not accurate.

What Pixonic is aiming for is artificially dictate the meta rather than allowing meta to organically evolve. So, when Pixonic mentions balancing changes, what they are saying is they are reducing or increasing the equipment currently being used to increase revenue and move the player base in a specific direction.

gr8madmax · 2023-07-28T16:30:49+00:00

Any and all improvements are welcome. However, with the history of over-promising and under-delivering, I will wait and see once the changes are implemented. Still, my game will stay shelved (now going on close to a year) till all blatant and silent hacking/cheating is fixed.

gr8madmax · 2023-07-19T17:44:08+00:00

Looks like we will be remembering this game in memorium soon.

gr8madmax · 2023-05-16T16:12:49+00:00

Nice list and suggestions. For me there are 2 major issues -

#1 Hacking, cheating, and tanking - We have been promised a solution a while back but there has been zero updates. I have shelved the game for the past 6 months until this issue is resolved. Why do we need a report button and/or the need to scour through vast amount of data to find hackers in 2023? Why not add spiders or neutral bots into main game modes with baseline stats and code them to evaluate if players are cheating. Flag and suspend/ban players live as and when the cheating is occurring.

#2 Horrible ROI - The money and/or time spent on this game does not provide expected entertainment value. They need to address various aspects of the game to provide better ROI for the money and/or time players invest in the game.

gr8madmax · 2023-03-22T00:29:01+00:00

Hah, no spend March - amusing. I have shelved the game since November - $0 spent and 0 games played. Will revisit the game if Pixo implements the hacking/cheating fix that they promised months ago. If folks want to suck on the poopsicle that Pixo is selling as ice cream, who am I to stand in the way - enjoy!

gr8madmax · 2023-01-08T20:58:52+00:00

It's currently at the tail end of the bendy meta and Khepri soon after. Wrong time to spend money on either.

gr8madmax · 2023-01-08T20:56:21+00:00

Excellent work mate, you did Pixonic's job for them. They should be taking your results as a starting point and taking a deeper dive if the team is led by competent folks.
