Forever Winter - Does Mech Trenches become impossible to explore after hotfix 4.0?

[@IssacharLee]

I would like to thank you all for watching my video and leaving your comments, I love the interaction with you guys and I learnt a lot from it.

Its because you have the "pull the plug" mission, it adds 3 individuals guarding the room along with the 5man patrol. Data Heist puts a 5-man guard in front of the stairs that is usually easy to access from elevator side but if you crouch they should atleast trigger when you get to the 2nd flight of stairs which will allow you to run to the top ramp that will funnel them if they continue to follow you, the funnel will allow you to gun them down hopefully you had a suppressor on and not trigger the 2nd team on the other side that'll come up on the stairs near the door of the data room. Some of the missions add guards or puts a team that was usually on patrol, on stand-by near easy paths instead.

Thanks man! I guess I will bring more fire power next time after knowing missions actually change the troops deployment.

@@IssacharLee also watch out for stacking missions in the same map. It increases the number of body counts on the map. One time i had plug pull, data heist & mech sabotage all 3 for mech trenches... they had a 5man patrol,1 exo & 2 drones in the hangar While the data room had a sniper team waiting for you when you open the door This is on top of the 3 additional guys in the med bay and 5man teams on stand by on both stairs

That was great. Loved the raw newness of your exploits. It was like watching a horror movie where they say, let's hide in the basement, meanwhile you scream at the TV, "Nooooo!". Have fun and hope to see more.

[@IssacharLee]

That's exactly what I thought! It's a game and let's see how things react

[@rturner9]

Having certain quests active can turn this map into a nightmare. The two that you have active here and also the quest to kill EOD troopers, for example (I think it was that one).

[@IssacharLee]

Didn’t know that! Thank you I wanted to go collect some medical supplies and do quests at the same time

[@operator9858]

Its the mission. If you are serious about the stealth approach its likely easier to come in from the side door.

[@IssacharLee]

Yes, I want to try the stealth way… but they changed it so much after hotfix 4

[@kh2967]

You don't have to explore the map with basic equipments :D

[@IssacharLee]

Common problem for noob extractors, I don’t want to bring my “expensive” gun and lost it XD But what if I want to play it stealth? ☹️

[@kh2967]

@@IssacharLee Then greater challenges could lead you to a deeper sense of satisfaction. :)

@@kh2967Okay, big gun it is 😂

[@Dro250]

Carry more Shot gun ammo

[@IssacharLee]

I will, now I farmed enough money and starting to stock up and improving my gears

[@PixxxelWizard]

😂 you just need to play more so that you understand the game better. You can't really hide like that right in front of them. It's better to actually keep moving if possible. Only hide for a moment and then move on. Also you went in with the default guns and no extra ammo and no meds. You may have done that on purpose, but that signals to me that you are unprepared and didn't use the combat loadout tab before entering the map. 🙂

[@IssacharLee]

I understand the game mechanic is yet to be improved, but I also think that cover should be good enough for those EODs not discover me... anyway I am having great fun

[@IssacharLee]

Oh I see, you mean the last stupid moment of me.... haha, yes, I am too chicken to rush in and I was thinking maybe they are stupid enough just moving along XD

[@PixxxelWizard]

@@IssacharLee I'm having a blast and I'm sure that both terrain and AI will be improved in the future.

[@BoxheadBB]

Also, Bagman seems to aggro more enemies than other characters. It is not yet tested, but most people said the same things.

[@IssacharLee]

@@BoxheadBB I am also wondering if I chose the right guy, should I go to scav girl....

[@fg786]

still the easiest map
