Some notes: --> Not sure if true, but I wonder if a leg being set on fire eventually blows the mech up (fire slowly damaging it) - just had a game where my mech blew up after having its leg on fire for awhile... --> Tanking a rushing Charger with your side is actually pretty decent at protecting yourself (getting hit to the front will at the very least get you to smoke and sometimes, and the Charger can skip its wind up animation for its attack and 1-shot you with its melee) --> If you walk off an elevated position, you can actually step on the larger bugs and damage them - but its not enough to kill them outright

I had one with a leg on fire for a long time but it never blew up even when left behind once ammo was used up. Maybe mine wasn't damaged enough for it to happen.

@Artoik-dk4vv 6 ай бұрын

yeah in the first game when the mech health reched half would catch on fire and slowly lose health and it would stop working after reaching a treshold

@Dane-7 6 ай бұрын

Good video. The armor difference on the arms is hugely important by the way. You can actively angle the mech away from certain attacks to take quite significantly reduced damage. A Charger's charge being the best example of this, if you turn to have them hit your arm instead of your front, they'll bounce off and do fairly little damage.

@belorianuskane1952 6 ай бұрын

So you are able to roll your armor to spread incoming damage across multiple armor sections instead of taking full damage to a single compartment too? Like in mechwarrior.

@@belorianuskane1952 No, not in the slightest, more like duck walking so the plate in a ballistic vest is more likely to stop a bullet/shrapnel. Turning the mech sideways increases the odds that a area capable of taking the damage/ unimportant or critical if damaged. The arms of a mech aren't able to be disabled so them getting hit has no inherent lose but it does have the ability of no longer having your fragile bits vulnerable to damage so you are likely to walk it off.

@TheTechDweller 6 ай бұрын

The theory I've seen about the stomp, is that the legs only have to be slightly damaged for the stomp to be disabled. The reason you can't even stomp on a fresh mech drop is possibly because the mechs take fall damage when they're deployed, and most of the time it's enough to disable the ability to stomp. The mech should definitely not be taking damage simply from it's deployment, so I hope they fix that, but also I think you should still be able to stomp unless your walker's leg is damaged to the point its limping.

A game mechanic I'd really like someone to dive deep into would be how Outposts work; everything from how they spawn enemies, to what their radius is, to how much destroying them actually affects the enemy spawns, and how much light, medium, and heavy outposts contribute to all those factors. Its so weird to me that the game's been out this long but I can't really find any solid info about that beyond, "Destroying outposts lowers enemies somewhow... We think..."

@Serothil_and_stuff 6 ай бұрын

It probably does nothing but increase our payout. Had a dive in which we cleared everything there was. At extraction we still got swarmed and nearly overrun by waves and waves of bugs who just kept spawning.

Even once its ammo is expended, it can still be useful. You can use it as mobile terrain to help bottleneck enemies, distract them into attacking and detonatong it, or detonate it yourself from a distance for extra kaboom

@kithsakhai 6 ай бұрын

Great damage breakdown, thanks for this. All of these interactions make total sense playing with it all weekend. The thing im hoping they address is the insane explosive weakness, because a lot of terrain especially on jungle and forest maps seems to 'explode' when broken causing the mech to simply explode out of seemingly nowhere for no reason.

@akirachisaka9997 6 ай бұрын

I kind of wish the mech can have a short little on fire state, right before exploding, so you can jump out the last second. Like, this way, if your mech gets destroyed by chip damage, you can still jump out.

It has a melee that can 2-shot chargers in the leg. Angle so a charging charger hits your arm, it'll stop, then turn and stomp it's leg twice. Works every time.

The fact it dies in less than 2 seconds to the flamethrower makes me want to say the flamethrower should do way better against the bots. The mech, after all, is basically a bot without the computer brain in terms of construction. It is a lighter armored hulk basically.

@droopmasterflex2822 6 ай бұрын

I always used it for the extract. It reminded me of the Gatling and rocket sentry but with the plus you can move it to engage enemies. Sometimes in the field when it gets too harry i call it in and take out the heavys or a bug breach. Against bots however it feels like you're a target and you just quadrupled your size.

stepping on a red barrel or two seems to blow up the mech instantly. Does walking over the little bile scavengers damage the mech, like it damages/kills a helldiver meleeing them or does that fall under the umbrella of corrosion resistane? In that case, how does it handle the various bile spewers and titans bile? Oneshots each and all of them or no/low damage?

They fixed the mechs melee and it can two shot a charger if you hit them in the leg! Just be careful because if they do their bucking attack it will one shot you. Also if you block a chargers charge with your sides it seems to do no damage, or at least very little damage.

Loved the Exo so far ^^ I wish there were ways to support it, tho, because once it's out of ammunition its only value is stomping bugs xD (which is fun, don't get me wrong... but, come on, we have ammunition bins scattered all over the place and the previous game had a repair gun!) Now, with that said, weaponizing the drop ship is quite fun ^^

I wasn't expecting it to tank tons of damage, but the autocannon one shotting it shooting straight at center mass is insane. That means it has less health than a terminid hiveguard, which is... disappointing. I say it needs enough health to just barely survive a rocket from a rocket raider at least. It's good against bugs, but automatons turn it to swiss cheese, and unless the autocannon mech that's coming has better health or armor, it won't be much different.

I dont think it's that good, it was cool and fun when it first came out. But after using it. And watching others use it, i think you are better off with something that's unlimited use.

@rykenxiv 6 ай бұрын

I think for Blitz missions is pretty good since the disadvantage of the limited use is minimized (you can summon both within 15 mints) and it gives you the firepower and range to advance into more dangerous areas to at least position yourself or get your team into a better position to take down the fabricators or bug holes! But otherwise, you're right - hard to justify it on regular missions when you get more mileage from other stratagems!
