[@IRMentat]

@@jbmst1450 TBH challenging has a REALLY weird enemy mix within, it throws so much mini-meat/metal at you that unless you have some efficient crowd-kill you can end up being chased by a never-ending swarm of lil angry anklebiters who love to slow n crit your ass.

[@darkstormww7479]

I dont know why we think that we can rush at an alerted MG raider without getting shot to melee them, I think I just forgot how to fight low tier bots as they dont spawn as often in higher diff where everything is devastators

[@kamikeserpentail3778]

​​@@darkstormww7479depends on modifiers. Sometimes you get an absolute fuck ton of them. Nah I mostly think it's as the guy above says. You start to say to yourself, this is easy.

[@simonsonlyfan8600]

7 and up - Tactical, clutch well oiled machine of a team with 200+ kills each. 6 below - Stares at a grenade that was thrown for five seconds

[@-Subtle-]

I played 6 and it seemed harder than 7. But I think that's due to the mentality of 6 players still think they must kill all enemies whereas 7 you do the objective, then move on.

[@elfireii328]

Oh absolutely. 6 players tend to get stuck in reinforcement loops... im glad I got out of that habit.

[@maddlarkin]

Yeah that can happen, did a level 6 mission as a level 45 that played like Hell Dive becuase the rest of the guys were all leveled in the teens or twenties and they picked every single fight on the map at once, we managed it, but as the only one who'd come the equipped the stratgems for that sort of fight it was a bit high stress

[@kieranboulton3953]

Yep, playing on 7 a few hours ago with a group that weren't quite ready for it. We won but the host decided to turn it down to 6 as it was close. We ended up losing the 6 as two of them decided to kill every bot in an outpost despite the fact that the reinforcement was in cool down and we hadn't completed the main objective. Instead of prioritising the objective they kept fighting until one of them was killed, despite me telling them in the chat to leave. The other ran away and was gunned down before the reinforcement cool down finished.

​@TheKoloradoShow shit I'm maxed on commons to, have like 25 supers and only 50 rares while needing every upgrade that needs 80+ rares it's tough out here man

[@gerryendersen4718]

@@TheKoloradoShow I’m guessing you play level 7 and above, I like to mix it up to help low level divers, grind super credits, and liberate planets faster and by the time I maxed out my ship modules I had ab 500 common and like 30 super samples left over, with no rare left. I’m guessing that the other guy does the same as me.

[@veroxid]

Yea, somewhere around level 4 or so, common samples suddenly don't seem to become as common compared to rare. I frequently have to solo a few low levels _(don't trust randos, play with coms over discord, and most of my friends only really play 6+) now and then so that I can actually catch up on my commons, lol. I'm just glad that the higher level upgrades use the same number of commons as they do rares so it's easy to figure out how much you're behind. Though I've started to notice that in higher level difficulties, I tend to find rares by the objectives and secondaries while most of the commons are scattered across random POIs - so if you focus solely objectives _(which is almost required at higher levels)_ and don't have a scout in the party running around for the POIs I've gone through some games with almost

[@trbz_8745]

No it's bc players on 6 don't know to NOT ALERT THE DAMN PATROLS. You can do an entire mission on 9 without a single bot drop or bug breach if you play tactically

[@darkstormww7479]

@@trbz_8745 I trigger ALOT of bot drops but it actually helps my teammates, theres about a 40-50 second cooldown on bot drops so when I take out a outpost from range it starts that cooldown, I have no reason to go into the outpost so I just leave, the bot drop despawns and my teammates cant trigger anything for the cooldown period. I go solo and clear half the maps of outposts and side obs, I usually avoid mains because I like to travel alot with my light armour. anything that affects the star rating at the end of the mission is getting completed, I hate it when someone dies as everyone else gets into the shuttle at the end... Aggressive/passive Sneak 💯 edit: oh mb I forgot it was about patrols, yeah I just avoid those because you cant outrun a berserker too easily.

@@trbz_8745 This, I have more of a difficult time with difficulty 5 and 6 than with 8 and 9 simply due to people alerting everything
