Don’t give up. The rammer problem is real!

[@sazafrass]

I love watching this and Aavak's series one after another. I understand way less than either of you but the mad scientist (derogatory) vs mad scientist (complimentary) switch up is a thing of beauty.

[@JonahShrike]

Aavak is some kind of savant at this lol, and in MCs defence this game is brutal made all the more brutal by basically being a trial and error game.

[@sazafrass]

I genuinely think he's the dev and just LARPing as a player. It's insane.

[@XZ10NN]

May I just say how happy to know that you still stream to this day. I found you channel wayyy back when you fit the Visera Clean up detail series and I love it I always come back to your channel once a year for that entire series. I found you channel when I was in middle school now I am 1 year into the Army. I hope nothing but the best!!

[@MetalCanyon]

Thank you very much for the kind words! I wish you good luck!

[@Boot_Guy]

To dig a wall, pause the mechs and hold right mouse button to create a path through the wall. It eats the mechs stability like crazy though so you may want to put stabilizers on your drill mech

[@Boot_Guy]

You can see which mechs have melee by looking to the left of their name. There will be a small sword icon if they have the drill

[@JonahShrike]

Alot of your pilots were pretty banged up when you tried the mission, also if I remember right unless you have the take no damage on overheat perk your pilot gets hurt slightly each time the mech overheats, but I could be wrong. The worms shield stops all high calibre and explosives and nerfs the minigun, basically the dev didnt want you just sitting back and sniping him. The mech will drill a wall if they have a drill and you draw a path through the wall, when paused right click and hold to draw a path. Also, you can use your Arty barrages to destroy walls. It wont do anything on the Big worm if his shield is up. Might be worth researching the heatsinks or rush to the better reactors, the I.C.E is forcing you overvolt the motors which makes the mech run hotter because your effectively putting more load on the Generator. The rams are a pig aye, especially since they are resistant to kinetic.

[@star0794]

And don't forget that if wall inside Shield Will not affrected from Arty bcs Shield is doing its part🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JonahShrike]

@@star0794 Fair point, this map is just horrible lol

[@grimgorkeisenpelz9392]

These rammers are really nasty creatures. Maybe go for the tank guns for them?

[@star0794]

Rammers is really nasty and get big reduced against kinetic. I try using tank gun on it and still hard to kill itbeven with tank gun

[@MetalCanyon]

Seems like explosives and energy are the way to go with them.

[@grimgorkeisenpelz9392]

@@MetalCanyon I see. Maybe it is not meant to be on a mission every day so you can research and built the stuff to deal with the mission first.

[@denisfarber4492]

Is there any information in the bestiary on how to deal with rams?

[@star0794]

Not said directly in bestiary but it can be kill with anything beside kinetic weapon

[@MetalCanyon]

The bestiary essentially gives you info on what the creatures are resistant to at the end of the description.

[@jg4902]

Does overheating damage your mech?

[@MetalCanyon]

Not with the overheating skill.

[@crankyboris]

Besides what other people have already said, your reactors aren't set up right.

[@MetalCanyon]

How? I tried setting them up for hot environments with external resistance and it didn't appear to make much of a difference.

[@crankyboris]

@@MetalCanyon hmmm that's odd, like there's no way to take them into super hot maps but they shouldn't be overheating from just standing there. Are thy installed in the right order? the multipliers have to go into slots 5 and 6.

[@Boot_Guy]

@@MetalCanyon you’re in wasteland temperatures, you’re gonna want to get heat sinks before you go in that map. If your reactors are set up with 4 external coolers and 2 compressors at the bottom and put 2 heat sinks on your mech you should be able to handle it pretty well.

[@MetalCanyon]

I'll try!

[@Boot_Guy]

@@MetalCanyon another thing to keep in mind on the hotter maps is the time between reloads, ballistic weapons only produce heat when reloading, energy weapons produce heat when firing but never need to reload. Sometimes you gotta find a sweet spot when it comes to heat management.
