Generation Zero: June 2024 update exploration Part 2

I come back to the Vulture spawning with new assumptions. This time things take a more satisfactory turn.

[@phorton7039]

Just finished taking down my first Vulture. Took two goes. So much goes on which makes it confusing to deal with. Devs did not make some of the essential details clear enough. Didn't get the new experimental weapon. Very little reward for such an effort to kill a Vulture. Managing the inventory has frustrating issues when transferring from your inventory to plundra and visa versa. I haven't tried any of the new DC weapons. Interesting to see you use the minigun. Thanks for the video and see you next time :)

I hear ya about the plundra. Having to teach my hands to do things that were habit before.

[@scubasteve3032]

My first spawn I spent almost three hours taking it down and got a five star lmg mag. What a let down.🤬

[@skeptician3799]

@@scubasteve3032 Yeah I've been hearing about loot being skimpy lately. I still get some experimentals but I would like to get the laser Meusser rifle to play with.

16:36 the luck

[@skeptician3799]

Well, it was a rival. They throw good loot sometimes

[@calebbelina7909]

I wish I could still enjoy playing this game after the update the ps4 version has so many lags, invisible walls, many other bugs it's infuriating. I hope they fix them soon.

[@skeptician3799]

Same Caleb. There is always a repatch after a patch until it finally settles down. I'm on PC so I'm able to throw upgrades in, but it still has teething issues for a while after an update.

I was level 20 something on my second play throughout this game and I think something happened because I was constantly finding the tanks plus the big ones with the two legs that run at you Also, when you get the abilities that give you more bullets, it is easier but then you also have to find guns for those bullets and sometimes that’s a little more difficult

[@skeptician3799]

I have noticed over the years playing this that the robots evolve over time just like a real war. The programmers actively evaluate our tactics. What works today may need adjustment tomorrow. That makes this game interesting after thousands of hours. So far as weapons, buying a DLC can get you 3 crown versions in your plundra immediately. There are also weapons you get for doing missions. High level gear can be found on Himfjall island if you get that DLC.

[@bjlee2011]

Great video btw you use Mod to increase weight? I've never seen it at 1600

[@skeptician3799]

You can upgrade the plundra to 1600. Look along the bottom of the plundra screen for the option

@@skeptician3799 oh ok thanks for the info

Чтоб подойти к врагу и стрелять, надо сначала разоружить, лишить его возможности причинить вам вред. Зачем подходить к 04 и стрелять, надеясь на что? На чудо? Что он растает сразу увидев Вас? Почему многие так делают, это отсутствие тактики ведения боя. В жизни так поступили бы, выити с пушкой на вооруженного робота? Не хочу Вас обидеть, но зачем так делают, может от Вас получу ответ?

[@skeptician3799]

The Rival robots have better armor and react faster. The EMP thrown to stun him did not last long enough. I was also testing the gun to see how it worked up close. When you are a resurrecting guerilla that teleports, you can experiment at no real cost to yourself. More of an arcade experience than a true battle simulator.

[@nakedapeiv3745]

Is it possible to play this game, without 99% shooting vs 20 enemies...?

[@skeptician3799]

That's what you get when you are high level and play on scalable skirmish. You can take your time and stealth around, but it is boring on video. Try setting the game to adventure without scaling if you want it a little tamer. It can be as intense as you want to set it.

[@paulieplayspoorly]

Oh you tease. I'm thinking that if you find the hatch, you could blow the rest of the base up with impunity. Clean out the bot callers, spawn a reaper/flying reaper (fleaper?) then emerge and finish the base, get points and loot. Nice to know you can have a reaper *and* a flyer at the same time. I wonder if you could spawn 2 reapers? Nah, never happen. Anyway, well done, highly enjoyable while I ate lunch.

[@skeptician3799]

Experiments have also found that you can't give coord points to someone and only the host collects them from Rivals. And only one each on the map. I have both in Farmlands and it shows 9 rivals. The other thing is they only spawn in the 3 regions with bases. At least you can reuse the same base to spawn without rebuilding the region.

[@paulieplayspoorly]

@@skeptician3799 Ahh. I've just watched Doc knock his off and it's everything I dislike in the game. I've got ~240 Russian points and was considering giving them away, but... Well I might as well spawn one and get it over with, it might make a good 2 hour movie with intermission.

[@skeptician3799]

@@paulieplayspoorly Well give it a go and if you don't like it, you can just kill Swedish rivals. I've got 2-3 Reapers stored up for MP hunts. It's like a bank account for when you want it. I'll do the same with Vultures, sock the points away for future get-togethers.

[@skeptician3799]

correction. I have been informed that you can drop points for friends to pick up. FYI

[@paulieplayspoorly]

@@skeptician3799 I know it needs to be done, but I've been putting it off. I've got a general malaise about this game ATM anyway, I might have to give it up for a month or two. I might donate my points, then, and ride off into the sunset.
