I've started doing a stealth build recently, with the light armor that reduces detection and a spear you can take out the bot outposts and the run into cover before they even realise you're there. You know you've succeeded when they lay down a barrage of lasers at a position you were 10 seconds ago rather than straight at you. Worked wonders on Ubanea where you can take out the factories from across the map because of a lack of trees. An orbital laser helps with the large encampments with multiple factories and a eagle airstrike helps take care of the ones you can't lock on to for some reason. You can get surprisingly close to bots without getting spotted, literally 20 meters in Malevelon Creek. Of course, there are times you have to clear an area, in which case the pulse punisher and exosuit really lays down the firepower you need.

Oh cool! Thanks for passing on the info blob! I also run light for the detection radius. It can be funny not having issues running across the map when everyone else is having to fight everything in a square kilometer. Lol. Maybe I’ll work up a build and add some of your notes!

Stealth is great against bots! My son and I have been having good luck with prioritizing factories first via hit and run stealth tactics, then doubling back and getting objectives in more standard firefights; this seems to reduce the intensity and frequency of the patrols that we come across.

Quasar Cannon is a good pick, but only 1 - 2 ppl should have it in the squad. You can one shot a hulk's arm to disable it's flamethrower/Rockets or one shot the leg to slow it down, it literally goes from running to limping making the eye an easy shot for divers armed with ACs or AMRs, also without it's leg it can't turn as fast, giving easy access to the backside. If I'm not mistaken, taking out both legs will insta-kill since it just topples over onto its face.

[@Nightharrow]

Definitely, I agree. A lot of situations kind of depend on what everyone else is running, and then of course working together well

First time I've seen this game. The game looks really nice. Isn't it like Destiny 2? I think this is much better. Also thank you for your ESO videos. They are very informative.😁😁

[@Nightharrow]

Uh, no real story besides kind of funny stuff. Maybe a PvE only version of halo? It’s super fun though! I’ve got quite a few livestreams if you want to see some gameplay.

[@DuraheLL]

auto-cannon is amazing... yes but it take your backpack slot too. Railgun is also valid and let you keep your backpack slot. Just aim in 3rd person (never 1st unless you're maby one of the few that like that one) And cound "1..2..3" and try to keep the timing in your head before you need to let go before it's too late. Having the shield generator make aiming easier as you won't be knocked around whilst aiming as much

[@Nightharrow]

Yeah, that’s a fair point. The Quasar is just a little more user/new person friendly.

[@kevinmyers6747]

The diligence is my favorite primary against the bots. The ems mortar is clutch without hurting teammates much. For solo play I run the diligence/smg/impact grenades with auto cannon/double mortars/eagle air.

[@Nightharrow]

It’s really fun they have multiple valid loud outs. And tbh I think the team mixing things up is what’s best.

[@mossblomma]

Doesn't the tesla tower get one shot by the first rocket unit that sees it?

[@Nightharrow]

Hmm, maybe? I know it’s easy to blow up if you are not paying attention, but I have personally had it last for a long time. I also tend to drop it in choke points, so that could also be why it works so well for me.

[@mossblomma]

@@Nightharrow Alright I'll give it a try.

[@Nightharrow]

@@mossblommaLet me know how it goes! Especially if it's not working well for you.
