[@Zer0sLegion]

We flipped rovers too, I just cut that out 😜

[@incendiarypoprocks8700]

I really do believe this is because of the larger combat overhaul that happened with Warfare 1 and 2. The block hitpoints, weapon damage, explosive effectiveness, and some other things got changed pretty significantly to make this scenario pretty brutal nowadays.

[@GalCon99]

I don't remember there being so many kamikaze drones. Does the scenario spawn more drones when there are 3 players?

[@ninjajagyr]

​@@incendiarypoprocks8700 yeah I played through this scenario back when it first came out. I would reckon the different weapon balance back then and dumber AI probably helped.

I had a lot of fun with this scenario when doing it on my own. Spent literally one whole Saturday on it.

[@Zer0sLegion]

A whole Saturday! Damn.

[@normaldavid]

Well, I was hyper fixated. Even got a “different ending”.

[@johnderat2652]

@@normaldavid Different ending? mind explaining it?

[@normaldavid]

It is in quotation marks. Zero recovered the data successfully, upon which his employer sent ships to silence him. When he defeated the ships, he completed frostbite. I did something different. Zero never read the data pads, but I did. They are the last writings of the employees working in the facility. They all hinted at the general consensus that that company was up to no good, and that they should not be allowed to retrieve the data. Non of them explicitly told you how you would prevent the data from being obtained, but I took a guess. And ground down the data cubes. At this point, the company went ballistic, and sent a fleet to kill me as revenge. The same ships that attacked zero. End result, I destroyed the ships, and completed frostbite. Basically, it was possible to complete frostbite, but without having to go to all the work of transporting the data cubes to the landing pad. My ending was much easier and more ethical.

[@thehappyhopper]

I just finished this scenario solo, what i did was instead of driving up the road like a normal person i took a hard left right out the gate and drove about 5km out from the buildings, set up a base location, and built myself what i lovingly dubbed the Snow dagger tank, a small grid rover with 2 layers of heavy armor, an assault cannon turret, and an autocannon turret, Let me say this now, that was the best decision ever, it tanked rockets like no tomorrow, bullets were ineffective against it, and it annihilated every drone it came up against, even the end boss drones didnt last more than a few seconds against it, it was amazing!

[@nocturnal6863]

It helps that in this scenario "HeroVehicleDmgMod" is set to 10%. I soloed it with the vehicles and components hanging around (except some mining for magnesium). Didn't have much trouble till the end fight. Life would have been a lot worse with 100% damage though.

[@spinosauruskin]

I decided to build a small grid atmospheric ship with drills and a gatling turret on top. Refined a bunch of materials, it made short work of basically everything.

[@foxyloon]

Did Keen up the spawn rate of the drones? When I played through Frostbite, when it first released, I only had a handful of encounters like such. Had a harder time clearing the interior turrets of the buildings than I did dealing with the drones dropping warheads/going kamikaze. Still though, kudos to beating this scenario. I know first hand how difficult it is to beat it. Took me about eight hours playtime, because I kept salvaging components from all the drones.

[@Zer0sLegion]

8 hours! Damn, we practically did a speed run then.

[@ArgelTal_]

The frostbite scenario was sooo fun. :D i played it with a friend like 2 weeks after it came out and we were so amazed. we did it in the first try without losing a rover ... sometimes you gotta trust the environment and speed more than the accuracy. :D and in close spaces ... add armor. ... but the gatling was precise back then, and the rifles were better to control. :D But there was not rocket launcher, so i think they ... "overhauled" it at some point. if i remember right, you can control the missile turret in the end from one of the buildings, it has a lot of missiles and is "neutral" ... wont get attacked. althrough i found it more difficult to destory the pirate base from orbit achievement ... i didn't have patience yet to do that.

[@Zephandolf]

I'm thinking the "destroy from orbit" achievement was supposed to work by making a combat drone. I cheesed it a bit and had a cruiser with a rotor railgun fire at it from orbit. Took the rounds literally 30 seconds to hit. I had to modify the 'trash' settings so the rounds weren't deleted in transit.

[@mailleweaver]

@@Zephandolf I got planetsphobia by just steering a couple of large ships into the base via remote control. I think they were captured vessels, too.

[@Killerean]

Got this one. I went with building progressively more and more brutal machines and eventually drilled my way through two kilometers of a mountain with the last one. :D

[@WardenWolf]

I built an underground moon base in Creative, changed to survival, and used that to win the Death Wish achievement. It had a vertical shaft going 100 blocks below the surface, and then a horizontal tunnel off that which was sealed in multiple locations from the entrance shaft. There was no chance it was going to do enough voxel damage to break through.

[@Gottaculat]

I did this scenario solo and without dying. Took almost 24 hours. Main thing is to setup gattling turrets at strategic points to intercept missiles and drones as they spawn. My first 5 hours or so were spent no further than the little home just past the gates of the main landing site. I coupled the spawn rover and heavy rover together, and added an auto-cannon turret for picking off distant targets. I also converted the broken drone into a small gunship to pick off threats from the air from afar. I secured outposts as I went, and gutted them for parts, which I would then haul back using the hybrid rover (which had I think 3 medium cargo containers, and like, 10 small containers. You can canibalize a lot of the stuff you find, and you can also make some very simple recon drones using a single thruster. Takes some practice, but the micro drones are cheap, and are a great way to lure enemies into your turret kill zones. Explore all secondary areas prior to going underground, as they have tons of useful stuff, especially the refinery facility, which has an automated drone you can repair and tweak to shuttle you between the refinery and landing pad. Some notable locations are a drone factory, and a crashed large grid gunship. Also keep in mind, certain terminals will allow you to actually call in reinforcement drones courtesy of your employer. These drones aren't particularly helpful, but they can be a good source of spare parts. When finally getting under ground, remember you can usually drill around turret sight lines. Also, take the time to drill out a functional entrance, and take a small rover in armed with an auto cannon to make quick work of turrets and walls. When going into rooms the rover won't fit into, or is too inconvenient to just blsat your way into, never stand exposed to the door when opening, but rather to the side, and pie your corners, also checking elevation threats. Grind through walls, when you can to avoid doors, and create entry points that give more cover from turrets. Slower is faster. When it comes to retrieving the modules, you want a good exfil plan. Bring all modules to a staging area, like the house (which you've now heavily fortified), and then deliver them to the landing pad all at once. You should have built multiple gattling turrets around the landing pad area, and park your hybrid rover there, too, before delivery to give additional firepower. Finally, hop into your small fighter, and intercept the ships as they come in, best you can, from the outer limits of your weapon range. Aim for thrusters, so they drop fast. Any that get past you will be met with an onslaught of AA fire from your turrets and vehicle turrets. You can clean up any stragglers as needed. Mind you, the first time I did the scenario was long before the Warfare updates, when Frostbite originally launched. I don't even know if there was an achievement then. So I did this scenario, TWICE. First time, I had my ass handed to me, but the second time, after Warfare II update, it was a breeze. The Warfare content, mainly the auto cannons and target locking/leading, made it super easy, but very time consuming.

[@Zer0sLegion]

You had me at 24 hours. 🙅‍♀️

[@techpriestsalok8119]

So from observation i think the easiest way to get this achievement is to start the scenario before you go to bed, leave it running all night to drain the drones of fuel, then complete it the next day.

[@Zer0sLegion]

Lololol, so true 🤣

[@celestialpie3712]

When I did this, rather than difficult, I actually found this enjoyable. I think the way I went about fighting the drones was much different from you guys though, I would get out of my vehicle and hope the drones target me instead so that the would miss me (cuz they suck at crashing into people) and then not damage my vehicle. I was curious why no one had the achievement, I guess this is why.

[@AlatroyX]

I completed this god damned scenario, cried because the ending was soooo bad, and then switched the world to creative, spawned a spaceship, flew to space, felt complete, and then freaking crashed the ship back into the planet, and blew it up.

[@Anuwabu]

Frostbite was tough as long as you only built wheeled things and pre WF2 update. The AI enemies gatling weaponry is much less effective than it used to be and the cannons the player can build will absolutely destroy drones large or small. I feel like they should revisit that campaign and make more like it. Definitely their best work storywise.

[@13legomania]

The main problem I had with this scenario was I kept getting lost during snowstorms and driving off cliffs

[@Zer0sLegion]

Lol, same thing happened to us

[@slab-dd6vj]

I did that scenario a few times and had a lot of fun with it, but it was less difficult before the warfare update when they nurfed the rifles and increase the deadliness of the interior turrets against players. The way I did it the last time was: I set up a full base at the start where you get your first tank rover. and just build a hydrogen-heavy armed craft to do all the surface stuff and then an atmospheric driller with multiple Gattling on it to do the underground stuff (You have a lot of ores resources near the landing zone). And before you bring the last data container prepare multiples type of turrets for final attack. You may want to try it again because you missed a couple of bases you could visit. If I remember right one even has a flying ghost in it.

[@Zer0sLegion]

A flying ghost, what😮

[@the15minutegamer]

I have to say it's an awful scenario but well done on getting through it. Invisable bridges are always a issue

[@ArgelTal_]

Awful? I thought it was the greatest of all. :D

[@Zer0sLegion]

It is the best scenario by far it's just pain

[@flintov]

I use the frostbite scenario for testing rover builds.

[@Foreststrike]

Through the power of "It's not a bug, it's a feature," you survived.

[@GhostOfSnuffles]

I just finished getting the achievement. I used the trailer to move all 4 of the data blocks at one time by adding a landing gear on the back of the trailer. Then i slapped about 6 gatling turrets on top of the trailer then parked it at the landing pad and hid. It's so much easier if you drop off all 4 of the data containers at one time. The gatlings did all the heavy lifting because the player rifles are basically useless.

[@aurenian8247]

Oh man. I've played this through three times so far and I don't think I ever had as bad of a run as you. You have my sympathies. The key to not losing rovers in the open is to keep moving. The missiles and bombers aren't that accurate when you are moving. On the mountain road if you shelter under the arches the missiles can't hit you. You definitely need to bring a rover underground. When you have a gatling turret the interior turrets are a lot easier to swat. To do that you need to extend the mining rovers pistons out so you can drill straight tunnels instead of digging holes in front of you. You can also top up the miners hydrogen from the terminal at the mining base. As for transporting data containers it's easier to load all four onto the truck than carry one separately. The truck can get up the mountain, the problem is you need to compensate for the fact that the rear wheels aren't driving. So you set them to acceleration override and put power and friction way up across the board. Just don't jacknife it halfway. I found the final battle easier on my latest run because I restored all the trucks and armoured cars with turrets and parked them around the landing site as well as added a bunch of extra turrets before I even brought the cargo out of the caves. So far Frostbite is my favourite scenario in SE. I ended up doing my own extra mission afterwards on the same map. You should head back sometime a bit better prepared and take on the other two facilities out there in the snow. There is also a tiny little house to be found with a jetski which is super fun. Unfortunately I still haven't got the achievement because it kept bugging out.

[@Mavo1974]

Autocannons on every vehikel. Played Frostbite alone, ok, need more than 5 hours, but never be killed that often and at the end i drive a roadtrain of three trucks back to the landingsite.

[@SgtStuka]

I did this when the scenario first came out. I remember enjoying this a lot and I think I only had to restart twice (Once to get the achievement, and another to play it with a friend) but I don't remember it being so difficult. But I also spent a couple days taking my time slowing going through the whole thing.

[@Zer0sLegion]

I think we reloaded twice in total, we did cheat a little bit though.

[@sandwichguy7315]

My man got an Austria Hapsburg prince and the embodiment of twitter to help him Someone gotta make a book out of this scenario

[@krirub8166]

Considering the nature of the game, SE should be all about playing scenarios made by other players, but for some reason people prefer survival mode even though it doesn't offer anything gameplay wise.

[@Jenozie99]

The thing is that there really isn’t a good way to script events for scenarios in the game. So you can build a map and ships but you can’t really turn them into a playable story. Maybe that’ll change with the AI update.

[@GalCon99]

@@Jenozie99 Escape from Mars managed that pretty well.

[@benvalkeners9718]

As someone who has completed this scenario I can say this scenario is a pain

[@mailleweaver]

Frostbite is my favorite scenario, but I tend to take it slow. I don't think I've ever seen the spider drone still have power when I got to it. I especially like the mining base on the surface. Missile drones suck, though. I can usually take care of them by setting the gatling on the first found rover to full range and target weapons, but sometimes it lets one through to blow a hole in the road. I don't think I've ever had a problem with the mining rover running out of power. It can also cut a much more serviceable road if you use it correctly. The truck with the flatbed trailer can get up the hill on its own if you reduce the strength of the wheel suspensions so they all touch the ground and turn their power all the way up. It also helps to drive on the stone at the side instead of on the ice path in the middle. Ice is slippery, doncha know? The last combat bit is really easy when you know it's coming. I replace the damaged missile turret with a custom, 6-gun, auto-cannon turret and that thing melts the big ships before they can ever get within 500m of the landing pad. One regular gatling turret added to the other side of the compound takes care of the small drones that come from the other direction. There's also a whole lot more to explore: drone facility, communications facility, ammo depot, science station, and another small place up the hill from the ammo depot that I can't remember the function of at the moment. The scenario I can never get to work right is Never Surrender. I've not been able to get any of its achievements to drop, and the drones always stop spawning after 5 or so waves. I think the scripting in that one is just unstable.

[@Zer0sLegion]

I don't think Never Surrender is buggy, I think the drones just get lost and drift away. Reloading the world normally fixes that though.

[@garagamel1233]

[@TheDovensian]

One day, I should post my own frostbite story. A story of me and my team moving through the uncharted and terrible cold, the vehicles we lost, the ones we built to counter the threats we faced. The armored personnel carrier we decided to build armed with an auto cannon. How we drove through the underground facility in near pitch Black conditions fighting drones from the confines of our armored coffin… One of us remained at the starting base gathering vehicles that weren’t required for the mission at hand and upgrading them with armament and equipment to hold the line… putting the bases defenses at a new level… we found ways to quickly fight through…. Surprisingly the drones remained active even with the extra time we took to set up the capabilities so we could make the new armored vehicle and the base defenses… assault cannons ripping into the woefully outdated ROK vessels as we stood, a small band of DDI mercenaries hired to take on the job… after the smoke settled… and everything went quiet, they had failed to take us out… barely… but we still had the data containers, we used them as leverage to get off of that godforsaken ball of ice… I’ll never forget the name… Operation Frostbite.

Knowing what was coming, I took the time to turn the garage near the operations center into a pressurized base wit h an assembler and refinery for ores. Built up a defense grid around the landing platform and weaponized a rover. The mining center is a logical place for such activity other than it is a drone magnet. The last slope up to the landing point could be a lot less steeper too. I don't recall kamikaze drones make that big a crater before...

You did this the hardest way posable :) Congrts :) . Your a gamer. you know that there was going to be a finale battle. I turned that base into a Fortress well before I left site off it. All the ore you need for guns and ammo are right there. My preferred method of travel is by air so I whipped up a basic platform with guns on it for the clime and the semi at the end had 6 interior turrets welded to the data blocks to keep them safe. My answer to every thing is more guns :) hell the landing pad itself had two gatts and 12 interior turrets plus the rocket turret it came with all on its own. To bad there was more fighting and less reading as all the warning sines where right there :)

[@Zer0sLegion]

I knew there was going to be a final battle, I said it multiple times in the video. I just didn't realise that it was going to be so brutal.

The end fight was so anticlimatic, the 12 Ball Turrets shredded the enemies so fast, i could only fire 3 Artillery Shells onto the biggest ship, the last one hit and it was gone. Mission done. Now the achievement rate is at 0,3% :D

[@aricbrandt1486]

I like putting the autocannon turrets on the rover.

[@TomPrickVixen]

Yea I wanted to say that with the new(er) DLCs this scenario can be done much easier. Tough when I 1st went trough it (during the warfare DLC, when i had to start all over after a reinstall) non of the turrets had ammo in them (bug do the new ammo system?) so I just needed to hack them and add ammo and those took out most of the drones (those had ammo) for me. Tough i simply fixed that small flying miner drone and added a seat to it, did not wasted time with the mining rover, and yes by the time i got to the tunnels all the old drones ran out of power. BTW there are a few elite rank stuff, and weapons hidden along the way, if u take the time to read the datapads, but if u fix the facility u can make some too. Maybe I try again, BUT with the new custom turrets.

[@TomPrickVixen]

BTW even less player resets the drones at the "drone facility", (yes there are like 6 other large buildings u seemed to miss) so thy become friendly.

on my most recent playthrough of this scenario, i did what the developers didn't intend and made a base at the starting area with all the essentials like a refinery, assembler, and etc. this took SO long, that every drone had ran out of power, crashed, or just disappeared for whatever reason. which means the scenario then became a cakewalk with the added bonus that i have maxed out tools and lot's of weapons and ammo. i'm not sure what it is, but i've rarely gotten many waves of drones at all, maybe like one every few hours? in conclusion, the drones were oddly passive for whatever reason.

[@wolfaja755]

I just want to say when you have the steps to “shut down” the reactor you were mostly right. Stop coolant flow is probably good enough and increasing the requested power is also pretty good although wouldn’t do much without the coolant tbh. Shutting off power to the control rods would cause a full scram killing the reaction immediately. This would mean less heat production and a slower time to melt down. A properly shut down reactor will still have coolant flow to remove decay heat but one you want to melt down you could just stop coolant flow and it’ll melt down no matter what condition you put it in. Decay heat is the cause of Fukushima because that build up in heat was not properly taken care of. Also hydrogen tends to be a bi product of a melting core which was also seen at Three Mile Island the only difference being Three Mile Island vented off the activated hydrogen and Fukushima was not able to. That’s why Fukushima had a few reactors explode and Three Mile Island just slightly melted their core. Generally speaking nuclear power is safe. The US Navy has operated hundreds of reactors since the 50’s with no nuclear accidents. The reactors being operated by people who’ve gone through only about two years of training. The more you know.

@@Zer0sLegion i played it and it was fun! i managed to complete it solo by using the knowledge archieved from your mistakes and by just relying on the armored rover to do everything for me, it was kinda annoying in some places but at the end i managed through.

You know, this scenario might be a tad too difficult.

[@Zer0sLegion]

Lol😅

[@JerbytRane]

When I first played through this scenario alone, I didn't see this many drones. I was attacked pretty rarely so it gave me enough time to minmax my way through the entire thing. I salvaged most of the starting rovers for metal grids to create ships to get around easier and for the end battle I prepared an entire large grid gunship and won easily. I had no idea the drones were supposed to be this aggressive ;-;

[@Zer0sLegion]

The worst part is, most of them ran out of battery before we got there, so it was supposed to be worse 😓

[@JerbytRane]

@@Zer0sLegion It could've been so much worse had they updated the scenario to use the new Warfare weapons. Imagine you open a door to a railgun turret 💀💀

[@lampostsamurai2518]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was designed to scale, and having multiple players turned it onto the bloodbath

[@JerbytRane]

@@lampostsamurai2518 that mightve been the case. I spent last weekend doing this scenario again same thing happened. Not many drones spawned so I had time to make a little figher. I salvaged the starting rovers to get motors and metal grids quickly and salvaged anything with motors in the in the startin base and ended up with a fighter. Ammo was scarce though so I had to conserve it. Every handheld ammo I had I immediately dissassemble to get magnesium for gatling ammo. Every drone I see I had to take down from the back so the gatling guns would stay intact so I could salvage the ammo. It was great

[@jamesmclemore9123]

It would be cool if Keen added weapon modification mechanics like being able to make attachments and different ammo types.

[@darkehartplays]

I had correctly predicted the final battle so spent a good deal of time fortifying the initial landing zone, which caused most of the drones to run out of power before I would have fought them. Made the scenario much simpler. =^.^=

[@tigersfangs305]

To be honest, this is probably my favorite vanilla scenario. I remember playing it through the first time (yes, have done it MANY times) and it was TERRIFYING! That said, my friends and I didn't find it terribly difficult to get the achievement. Granted, we had beat it around three times before they added the achievement. xD I am SO jealous that you got attacked so much by drones. I have had playthroughs where the drone script was broken and I only got attacked once or twice the entire playthrough (ending excepted). Found the drone script bug in Single and Multi Player. The scenario is easier if you DO stop to read the lore. It makes more sense of the setting, location, what happened, and maybe where you need to go. ;) My buddies and I can spend a few days just running around this scenario and building up infrastructure and repairing things. Our biggest complaint with this scenario (outside of the LACK OF DRONES) is that running scripts on programmable blocks (we use Automatic LCD 2 a LOT) is glitchy. This is an inherent bug with the scenario that is somehow triggered when someone sits in a control seat on a grid. It "changes ownership" and breaks the programmable block. My biggest frustration though, is that there are hidden dead engineers (seven I think) and my friends and I never could find the last one. If you ever want to run through it again, reach out to me. I'll play it with you any time. ;)

Frostbite is much easier if you refit your rover with 2 turrets. I spent like the first hour completely rebuilding the rover from the parts of the first two rover, ending with one that had both cargo space, and weapons. One reason why so few got the frostbite achievement is that the achievement came out months after frostbite, so when it popped up, many that already completed the scenario didn't want to deal with it again.

We did put to turrets on our rovers. Ammo was the main issue.
