I find that one's love for LMGs directly corresponds with how much they whore out Overcharge.
I had a LMG with increased accuracy with sustained fire for the longest time, and when combined with OC my crosshairs didn't even move. I called that 'Heavy Weapons Guy' mode (sandvich not included).
I was actually using it with Decoy, (I was trying to make a "Tank") and I don't think I ever found one with sustained fire accuracy. Though now I'm going to start looking as the thought of having one with OC sounds AWESOME.
Yeah, Overcharge + LMG is Kill Every Last Motherfucker In The Room mode.
At least for the starter LMG, it makes shooting go from feeling like you're trying to wrestle a particularly feisty alligator just to keep anything other than very limited burst fire on target to being able to just point in the general direction of the bad guys, hold down the trigger, and watch the pretty orange numbers pop up.
I am wondering what the proper use for Infectors is, other than just because they're entertainingly weird.
Stuff with super high damage resistance tends to get hurt really hard by the DOT part of infectors.
Ive had one where the dot keeps increasing as time goes on. I imagine some of the crazy high-hp bosses for Arkfalls get hurt by that pretty bad.
So Im-a open up a TS3 channel / sports bar called "dungeon runners" at about 6EST tonight.
We will be running dungeon 1 to get folks the pursuits there (if need be) and dungeon 2 ( I can enter it which means anyone in my group can also- most likely more than once to do its pursuit). fat loot for all. ladies drink free. No cover.
I need three brave souls. Anyone want to start the night off correctly?
I'm in who's TS3 are we in? Same one for GW2? can someone send Joshua Mayon an invite to the guild

My only complaint with infectors is the death animation to headcrab spawn takes too long.
By the time they're finished doing their death throes and exploding I have already finished murdering everyone.
Also, funniest thing. Multiple players melee stunning an enemy, batting him around between them.
Anyone have any tips for the Hamburger Hill Rampage? The one with the rocket launcher and hellbugs? I've done it a dozen times now and have gotten no where near even a bronze.
I got my first orange out of like 14 tier 4 boxes. Its a fucking rocket launcher.
Haha, ow.
Edit - to Mojo and Decoy and ... I am a terrible person?
Thanks for the dungeon runs! I clearly need to improve because I was the worst during it

Pressing your reload key while the rockets are in-flight detonates them and makes it rain explosions, well timed you can take out 3 or 4 bugs easily.
this also does a lot more damage than just hitting with the rocket.
aim above your target and detonate for a large area of death.
I've been toying with the idea of creating a general TeamSpeak 3 server for PA's general use. I prefer TS3 over Vent and I have server space to do it so...
Server: finalack.com ( or 74.207.227.159 )
Port: default - leave blank
Password: PA's Usual Password for these things
Right now I have it set to 100 users, but my license is 250.
I have already started creating the channel structures for various games. The main lobby is muted as to prevent people from walking into conversations on connect. Also for those interested the server this is hosted on is based out of Atlanta, GA. So it should be rather friendly to our Euro brethren.
I have also gotten the server added to the main list:
I am Malodin, I just could not figure out how to send a tell in the game
have to tell me on the boards, steam, or ts. Communication in-game is almost nonexistant. I friended you, when I see you on ill be able to senda clan invite.

thanks, I will be on TS then. Hopefully they develop a better in game chat.
Any tips for the Hotshot: Crystal Defence? The one with grenade launcher and hellbugs? I can get close to getting a silver but I also run out of ammo before I get there.
How do people have such high scores on the leaderboards?
Edit: And of course, just after I posted I got it. Patience is the key. Wait for them to group up, the multiplier doesn't reset for a bit.
My first reaction to getting another loadout shouldn't be dread that I now need to fiddle with yet another set before I can mod/salvage/sell/do anything with an item
Also retrieving mods from weapons is apparently ego level based and costs an insane amount of salvage.

You are not a bad person. we kinda all started finishing up madera at that point. Im game for another attempt at making the bugges quest finish today sometime.
Also. @CorriganX- the game just gave you the finger. It is firmly in your grill. you gonna take that?

I don't think I've ever switched to my other loadouts aside from the odd occasion of adjusting them to look like my primary loadout so I could breakdown everything that I wasn't using.
Still, it really would make sense to have a separate loadout for "single target" and "AoE dmg". Even if its only used as a quick weapon swap, since even at around EGO 360 my passives don't really support two distinct playstyles just yet.

I won't be home til later in the night, but if ya'll are still running, and have a spot, I'll jump in with you and see if we can get that hooker down in less then 5 for that last pursuit. If not, there's always the weekend.
Got a level appropriate purple version of an older blue LMG I already had. Interestingly enough the only differences are that it has a worse bloom, worse accuracy, fires slower, and changes its damage type from Electric to Fire. I'm well aware of the slower itemization ramp up, and it's still a good weapon, but having it be worse in multiple stat types than an older, lower quality version made me make a confused face.

so far I've got Single target (sniper rifle and SMG) Aoe (SMG and swarm rocket) and PVP (Healing gun and grenade shotgun)

Fuck you, chickens.
I'll be on tonight if people are up for stuff, guess I'll hop onto TS as well so I can actually communicate.
I have finished up Mount Tam and Madera, and I think I'm only missing one or two co-op missions now. I just unlocked the "Commander someone bunker one". Or the one after that.
I'll be on a bunch today if anyone wants to do any of those. (info in sig)
Also @mojojoeo, I did it my first try! Though it glitched out on me and let me use my own weapons after I ran out of pistol ammo. I used grenades and my assault rifle until I killed myself by accident. I think that's how some people get ridiculous scores. Many of the shooting challenges can glitch and let you use your own weapons after running out of ammo and if you have a BMG available... then it's just not dying and you can do it forever.

Right? I really wish I could just unequip stuff from my other loadouts if I'm not using them.

They really should just start out empty. I'm not sure why they didn't think about this. Then again, I could start so many sentences with "They really should just..." that it's moot at this point. Ha.
What are people experiences with the flash grenades? I'm wondering if running with those while in a group would benefit everyone more than me adding potentially 3k (multiplied by X grouped mobs) worth of extra dmg every 30seconds. I dont think it should be the type that everyone uses, but it seems like it would be helpful.
Frag grenades are the best things I think. They just do so much damage. I can see the other grenades being useful in huge arkfalls where enemies have so much stacked Damage Resistance that its not a huge bonus, but in groups and small engagements.. holy shit 1 frag will just tear up 2-3 things.

Yeah I've been waiting for a grenade to come along that makes me want to replace the simple frag grenade I got hours ago.
Has not happened yet.
Incendiary are decent in some situations though, but once you get good at aiming a frag grenade you can't really beat it.
I've completed everything except some gold challenges on the first two areas and completed everything for the first five instances. The Commander something one won't load for me though, haven't managed to get in there at all, haven't unlocked the last one yet.
I've been having a lot of fun with it but I feel like I'm burning through the content a little too quickly, who knows how long it'll be before we see something new added? I had assumed the map we could see was just one area, turns out it's the whole game :S

I have that worry as well. The game seems to be somewhat content light at the moment. The rumor right now is that they're waiting for the show to release and will release a bunch more content alongside/shortly following it.
It seems to highest EGO pursuit is 4000... which seems like it would take a lot to get to. Even impossible right now with the current amount of pursuits?
