I did this and i got too OP for my first hard playthrough😂

For this mission, in order to avoid hitting the 128 item limit, you should start collecting right after the first wave of gold ant. With two experienced players, you can grab all that loot and you end up with 70-80 armor and a bunch of weapons.

Oh don't forget being blinded while being bombarded

I llove edf 6

I LOVE CHEESE

The whole mission hinges on one thing: will the cannons murder you or will they not? Star Eaters in EDF 4.1 had red cannons, which did ridiculous damage, too. But you had a fair chance to snipe them before they came in range. Here, everything goes. They can shoot sideways, murdering you around the corner and that's it. The whole rest of the mission is a walk in the birthday cake, then 5 minutes of hoping that the death ray doesn't hit you. Survive it and you're a winner. As long as you have enough NPCs left to protect you from the Androids, of course. Mission mechanics in the description.

Hindsight: should have put the last chapter first. That's the important one. Using 2 Perfect Reflectors can make you win this mission in about 15 minutes. Problem: your mobility is hampered, making it easy for the enemy to shoot you in the unprotected back. The Queens' acid is able to bounce of the ground behind and hurt you. Some of our online farming sessions got ruined by that. On the other hand, using a mobile Fencer, moving around the border of the map, missiling the enemy, is rather safe. As long as you keep a distance to the enemy. To maximize yield, you have to loot the area where the NPCs died at the half-time of the mission. Which comes with the risk of getting stuck and murdered. But I was able to win and loot the mission consistently in 25 to 30 minutes. Which is a hëck of a lot of time. If only there was a way to do it safely and fast... My solution to that was using 2 Fencers. Standing back to back they covered each other's weak spot. One Fencer with equipment to dart around and grab the loot when enemy numbers are low, the other with rubber bands on his fire buttons. The Queens and mechs can shove you around, but that's not a problem since you control one of the Fencers and can compensate. Just make sure you're away from the crater... I felt like a genius and started editing this video. Just to realize that the second Fencer isn't needed. All I needed was a wall to cover my back. It's just like the experiment of the Magdeburg hemispheres, where one can save half the number of horses by replacing them with a sturdy post. That didn't feel like an awesome solution anymore. And putting my back against a wall hardly qualifies as a cheese. It's just using cover. But then I realized the next thing: if I didn't need a second Fencer, I could bring one of the other classes, make them stand in the Fencer's reversal field, getting more weapons for that class out of the mission. And it was faster, too. Fencer & Ranger can get this done in less than 10 minutes. You should be prepared for enemies getting stuck in the ruins. An FGX launcher should do the trick.

This only makes sense if you have nothing but access to DLC 1. More advanced farming missions in the playlist in the description.

9:19 imagine you waited all these years and are finally about to conquer earth only for a robot that looks like a construction vehicle on crack to drop from the sky and kill you.

DARK GOLD ANT VS PINK EXCAVATOR.

HOW MUCH HELATH DO THE PURPLE TADPOLES HAVE MORE THAN SILVER SPIDER?

BRO!

THERE CALLED SIREN BRO

I hate this mission so much One misstep causes multiples to swarm you and end the round

our old, ever-reliable friend, L-Shaped Apartment Building With Staircase

I HATE THIS MISSION 😂

I later learned that you can climb on the roof of this building. Not neccessary here, but you might find it helpful in DLC 2...

You should look into using 2x Perfect Reflectors (DLC1) with Shield Protection Armor Y for this mission, makes it significantly faster. Fencer's reflecting shields are great in EDF6, and in this mission the gold ants will just kill themselves and they'll go right up to you for item collection. It also gives you space to use an item radius exoskeleton to collect them faster, pair it with a shotgun on a second set to finish off queens.

Finally got my first clear on this mfer just now, with this strat rather than the reflector one, after 3-4 wasted attempts High-cycle hound + the 111 FGXR high impact launcher farmed in mission 16 work well, especially because the FGXR's missiles zoop off right away and don't have the drop and slow acceleration that makes the FGX's hit the ground under your feet Even still I got into the rythym of dash-dash-lock-dash-jump-fire, firing as I'm dropping so everything I'm shooting goes up as I go down Kite around the very edge of the map where there are no obstacles and you can move safely backwards whilst firing, just don't get stuck at the corners

Managed to beat this level on inferno fencer (~7000hp) with the FGX + arm hound and spine driver + dispersal mortar. Cheesing the last few queens at the end is kinda possible by looping around them with one of the groups of wing divers that spawn halfway through and picking up any health packs if they get hit

So bro, the pink powerful excavator in dlc2 mission 16 have more health deal more damage and more stronger than the other blue excavator?

do you need to kill the excavators so the hive gets vulnerable again? or you can ignore those until the end?

Update: if you have some friends or just want to boost the Fencer, do it online with a/the Fencer. The 3 additional Pink Excavators raise the yield by 33 items and thanks to the Reflector, the online scaling doesn't matter.

So your last video on edf 6 dlc2 mission 16 thise excavators drop plenty or more crates than silver spiders?

I didn't know the shock drones went through the shield. This completely changes my gameplay

Great vid - will give it a go

Nicely done. So many of these DLC 2 missions are just plain bonkers. Some of them honestly feel to me like they just threw a buncha enemies on a level without actually testing whether it's possible on inferno. However, I felt that way about a couple Ranger EDF 5 dlc missions and you proved me wrong on those. Really looking forward to seeing the strats you come up with to deal with these on Inferno. That said, this mission actually has a cheese where you can use 2 Perfect Reflectors. Not foolproof, but does have the added bonus of keeping all the crates more or less nearby for easy pickup. Saw it on a vid by Cris3psn back when I was playing JP version.

Could you make a video going all the weapons for the ranger class in both dlcs ?

Wow I only started the DLC and was not expecting so many missions and that difficulty on the select screen lol. Do love how you just labelled the timestamp "run" with all those golden ants. They really meant "Malice" when they named this DLC.

This dlc has been fun but God it's hella crazy and can be hard

11:31 is why I really dislike using this FGX combo. It's too risky. Unless...but even then, I still don't.

This is actually one of the easiest missions that you can carry with Fencer. Fencer is so good because he can reload in mid air while using two FGX. It's totally possible to complete this mission even with standard non DLC equipment. So how do you do this? You dash (any direction) + neutral boost jump which allows you to still move horizontally while gaining maximum vertical height. This allows you to reload in mid while using FGX and still being on the move. The difficulty (and some bad luck) is that you can get stuck with the level geometry and not allow you to escape but in order to avoid this, you must fight at the edges of the map or the large areas to the northeast and the immediate southern regions with the train tracks. If you don't like FGX, you can also use YH7 Lv 83 + Arm Hound Lv 80 but I think this can take longer + is more risky because you fight close with the enemy and that is not recommended. If only DLC pack 1 had a level like this but instead gave you bs enemies to deal with that can shoot you from hundreds of meters away. No one plays the final mission because it's literally impossible to beat without forced equipment. It's really bad game design but I'm ranting.

Oh, didn't know that the second DLC is out. And holy shit does it look wild.

Golden ants damage are no joke. Always got one-shooted :(

Finding a thumbnail that's not a close-up of a wall was the major challenge here.

Yes, one should use the better versions of these weapons. IF they are upgraded enough to actually be better.

Seen 0 blue spiders because nests being oneshooted... (2 dlc in 17 october.)

EDF!!!!!!!!

So in this mission, we are back to 2001 or the era of Monster Attack games, the dialog kinda make sense 5:45

Huh? 4:12

Dang that future armor finally EDF Have a nice design for Ranger

So the True Identity of this Ring finally revealed on this mission And only 5 or 7 soldiers (including us) knowing the truth about what's going on to this world, this 11:10 last dialog before mission end. It's make me goosebump.

The ONLY mission with black Cyclopes in the main game…kinda sucks that they don’t show up again until DLC 2
