Lol, I'm taking this as you love this game, I know I do. It's not a great game but it's a good Aliens game but lacks content. I hope we get more chapters in the campaign and horde mode
Anything can be good if you can make it work, just others have a relatively easier-use to them. That's great you're good with SMGs. I couldn't get into it. But great job. 🙂
For my Gunner I use that smg along with the standard pulse rifle then heavily invest in fire rate with a bit of recoil to compensate. So long as I have the ammo I can essentially kill basic xenos just by tapping them on intense & this build melts bigger ones with a good team. Still haven't gotten anyone for extreme difficulties though.
Mathematically I prefer the scout over sniper rifle between accuracy, stability fire rate, recoil, available ammo, and mag size, the Scout rifle dealing 630 vs the 990 of the A3 is a non issue as you easily outperform the A3 with the Scout. During overclock, you should get off three mags with the sniper, doing 15 shots for a total of 14 850 base damage , while the scout rifle gets off 26 shots for 16 380 base damage, or you could throw 30 shots for 18 900 base damage with the fire rate improvement mag. The scout has the added bonus of being more useful against things like prowlers and elites with the 30 or so extra rounds. Alternatively the twilight throws three mags of 16 for 17,280 base damage. Also great for early game is buying the ballista, which throws 20 rounds during overclock for 16,200 base damage. Alternatively with something like the halberd or pulse rifle you dump 2 and half mags into a target with overclock doing around 9040 damage. DMR win that one in my opinion.
I just love the minigun and the plasma rifle, even if those don't have the better stats, the way they look and sound when firing is something else, it is just enjoyable to use those weapons.
@@soulslayergamer2318 really? I found it quite useful, more than the smart gun actually. But nothing tops the Thunderbolt Mk. 2, it is almost like a Space Marine bolter.
That's how I started. Try a pump shotgun on a Recon. You can spec to not have to reload when an enemy is targeting an ally. Thing is they "Target" from across the map. So you basically get to ignore the one drawback of the pump actions, their long reload time. Give yourself the stun drone upgrade and it's like playing a tech that can give himself ammo and never has to reload.
I think the medved is better , it only has 2 shots but with the right attachments like reload speed and rate of fire its strong , plus if you put the right attachments for improving cooldowns and duration of effect you barely need to reload it , pump shotty is def good for when you first start though , its overpowered with what damage it can do in far ranges
This game is 100% Alien aesthetics ! Visuals , Sound , emerson is one highest level ! If this game is not considered the best Alien game this world no longer makes sense
Nah, it's not really that much of an Aliens game. It's really just kind of a standard horde shooter with an Aliens paint job. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying the game is bad. It's actually a really good game. When it comes to recapturing the look, feel, themes and atmosphere of the movies though, there are definitely better options out there. Alien: Isolation does an amazing job of capturing the feel of Alien, the first movie, and Aliens: Dark Descent matches James Cameron's Aliens so well that you'd think Cameron himself had a hand in making it.
For the Magnum specifically if you put Weak Point Damage on the optics and muzzle, and the magazine that refills 10% ammo on kill you can kill a Runner (or Pathogen headcrab) with a single headshot, then get that bullet refunded for infinite ammo on trash mobs.
It's also good with challenge cards that won't let you switch weapons until the mag is empty or reduce mag ammo upon reload. Same with the Pike Sniper rifle since they both only hold one round in the mag.
I read a thread on this and the patch notes say something like, all the guns were doing all the 4 star effects already since they were broken So instead of just fixing it so they didn't, they just made all the weapons 4 stars so people didn't suddenly feel nerfed.
@@AEUGH426 WEAPONS Starting with this update, all weapons will level up as intended. Up to this point, all level-based benefits were being applied immediately, despite the weapon not having unlocked them yet. So that we don’t negatively affect current players, we will be setting all currently owned weapons to max level for all character accounts created up to the implementation of this patch. Enjoy your 4 star guns! Due to the above change, along with assessing live progression speeds for weapons, we will also be lowering the XP requirements for each weapon rank. Guns will now reach max rank (4 stars) with the same amount of XP it used to take to reach 3 stars.
@@AEUGH426 Those are the relevant patch notes. Not sure what that means for the trophy, they may fix it? Or maybe you have to level those other new weapons. I don't know exactly what the achievement is. Sorry man, hope it works out.
There's more than 30 weapons in the game right now, I count 31. (Are you not counting the Heirloom Shotgun mayhaps?) As for your video realizing it's more an opinion piece especially with the disclaimer at the end than those other videos who try to claim conclusive X is the best or Y is the best, I'll just throw my thoughts out there for consideration of the other commenters. Fair warning I'm going to hard disagree on quite a few of your decisions, but NO offense is actually intended, just posting my personal thoughts/opinions as mentioned. If you like the hard hitting Snipers and you're claiming it is an Intense Guide the X46 Ballista Flechette Rifle does everything the M42A3 Sniper Rifle does and does it better. It's less damage, but not statistically significant and you're getting more ammo, better firerate, mag size and reload speed with the same Stumble Chance. Accuracy and Stability don't really matter on either of them since they're sniper rifles they're accurate enough to snipe and both are slow enough that stability isn't a factor before the next shot is ready. Snipers work best with Recon easily, take Red is Dead for a pretty easy 10% damage boost, Down Range for 20% higher damage at long range and Distracting Howl for your PUPS to slow targets for you. You can always modify your rifle perks for Firerate and Reload Speed in addition to using the sniper rifle that doesn't lose out on anything on Intense difficulty. If you want something that's faster firing instead of the Twilight take the M42A2 Scout Rifle, the larger damage gives you one shot Weakpoint Mob kills (Xeno Runners) or 2 shot body (can be one depending on build) again for Intense mode and the Scout Rifle fires fairly quickly with a good reload and my personal favorite thing about the Scout Rifle, Medium Optics over Large Optics. Zoom Magnification feels super clunky and going first person kills your peripheral vision plus the Laser Sight ensures you have a non PUPS way of marking for Red is Dead for higher health targets like the various specials or even the armored enemies. With the Recon you don't have to worry about Max Ammo capacity as you carry your own ammo generator with you so you can afford to take the Assault Magazine for better rate of fire and reload speed hitting a respectable 2 firerate and a 1.69 reload speed. Which from your video it looks like you're using the Extended Field Mag which IMO if you want Max Ammo the Armor Piercing Rounds are the way to go. Love the AM 16 Gruppa, it's DPS potential is sky high, but it's inefficient in terms of kill potential for the Max Ammo it has makes it hard to justify if you're not Recon packing your own ammo IMO. Auto Rifle IMO Pulse Rifle wins out as best in slot IMO. The Kramer is technically the best kill potential for the Max Ammo which is handy, but the Pulse Rifle is close, the Pulse Rifle has notable advantages with the Gunner applying Stay on Target and Focus Fire buffs more quickly as well as the Kramer having lower DPS on the weapon itself with Stumble Chance that can work against you with an automatic weapon resulting in misses due to the stumble animation thus taking longer to kill something. Shaking my head hard on the Auto Shotgun, Medved all the way for CQW shotguns. With the right attachments the reload is nearly instant despite the card's claims that it reloads slower than the Pump Shotgun it actually reloads both it's shots in less time that it takes for the Pump Shotgun (or Heirloom Shotgun if you have it) to reload a single bullet, it's also the most accurate shotgun with a solid Stumble Chance. Your choice the Auto Shotgun can easily take multiple shots to kill something that the Medved would kill in a single shot at a longer range add in the option from Recon to boost Accuracy during PUPS and you can full on use the Medved at mid range for one hit kill mob kills. Max Ammo is less than to be desired sure, but if you need more ammo I still wouldn't go to the Auto Shotgun, but meh each their own, you can kill a stunned drone pretty easily with Assault Rifle fire from a distance so the footage of taking down a drone isn't the best selling point for claims of it being 'good' IMO. As for the Demolisher the Flamethrower isn't annoying just because of friendly fire it obscures vision of your teammates. It's strong, but it lets enemies build up on your team making it an unnecessary risk of damage. The Smart Gun can clear mobs pretty effectively without annoying your teammates even if you don't directly hit them with the friendly fire. The M12 RPG Launcher is single shot, but it's reload speed can be boosted and the explosion radius is solid. Unlike the 3 round rocket launcher the M12 does fair damage to tougher enemies mixed with fodder. It's worth noting IMO that the increased radius does not increase the visual size of explosions even though it expands the area it affects. For Handguns Type 95 Combat Pistol, a lot more efficient than the Kramer with much higher DPS, versatile and still strong on the Weakpoint hits. You can't beat it for overall killing potential to Max Ammo ratio. In the effective range it does nearly 900 damage on a weakpoint enough to one shot kill mobs at full damage. Agree that Rapid Responder is decent, as a shotgun option, but it's redundant to have two shotguns IMO so more of an option if you want to take the X43 Barrage Flechete SMG for mid range. For Doc specifically Combat Stims open up some of the less accurate, but more convenient weapons like the Type 78 Burst Pistol or the Auto Pistol which has insanely high DPS if you can get over the Accuracy/Stability issues which the Doc can especially with Overdosed Stims. Since the Doc can get boosted Accuracy it opens up the ability to use less stable or less accurate guns improving the efficacy of the Kramer Assault Rifle especially for longer range where it tends to be a touch weaker or the Gruppa which can have a bit of an accuracy issue when in full auto without a boost. With Recon specifically you don't need to boost the damage of weapons to the point you effectively get nothing out of it. Killing an enemy in one shot and killing an enemy in one shot, but doing 20% more damage than you need to doesn't help you much. As mentioned before the Recon generates his own ammo opening up the weapons that have ammo issues like the Gruppa which happens to be good at long range anyway and greatly benefits from being able to have it's own portable ammo source or even the Halberd which has the best DPS, but clearly got screwed over in terms of Damage to Ammo Capacity ratios, but if you eliminate that it's statistically the strongest DPS-wise especially for DPS contained within a single magazine and it's not an insignificant amount of DPS higher (Halberd DPS = 1864, Pulse Rifle DPS = 1755, Kramer Assault Rifle DPS = 1656, and the Gruppa DPS = 2970. *Disclaimer this is for single magazine for each of them and not sustained DPS the Gruppa having a low magazine size and longer reload time will have much lower sustained DPS than it's indicated value here, values indicated also don't factor in weakpoint hits and are based on my personal choices for attachments (which favor quicker kill times through firerate since most of the time extra weakpoint damage doesn't actually let you kill a target faster as you'd need to be able to save at least a full bullet for extra damage to be any tangible benefit and it doesn't hit any significant breakpoints by boosting weakpoint damage not for Intense anyway on the Auto Rifles)) Recon as mentioned can negate the only real disadvantage of the Medved the Maximum Ammo and the class itself can turn the Medved into a mid range one shot kill on mobs with near instant reloads if you take the Rapid Dispersal unit for upto 65% faster reloads. Likely a semantics issue, but when you said the farther away you are the more damage you do that's not actually true. The farther away the higher the boost from Downrange is upto the 20%, but depending on the effective range of the weapon you can and will still end up dealing less damage to enemies farther away on numerous weapons ergo the statement in the video is incorrect, but again it's likely a semantics issue, but it could confuse some people watching your video based on the wording being technically incorrect.
Technician with kramer theres a mag that replenishes 10% of your mag with a kill shot. Head shot base enemies and one shotting them means never reloading in some encounters with a high damage hand cannon
The Twilight is the best weapon hands down. What it lacks in damage it can be modded to have very high fire rate, incredible weak point damage, amazing stability and great accuracy. The Pump action shotgun actually works better than the type 76. I love the 76 but it suffers in range and stability. Pumps do better damage further and more accurately
Not using it. It's an obnoxious weapon for your team to work around you when you use it, but if you insist on using it and annoying everybody you're playing with. Flared Breech, Miller Twist Rifling, and Deep Railed Armature. (Note that the Phosphorous Munitions as of right now can proc on hit, but you're liable to set yourself on fire when it procs due to the short range of the weapon and the vision obscuring effect makes it easy not to notice the visual effect from the proc so highly recommend not using it, plus it can damage your teammates.
My only beef is that when you start with the specialist class you pretty much get the best handgun there is, granted I haven't unlocked all weapons yet. To put it in perspective, In call of duty (back in the day) you'd usually start with a simple pistol, and you level up to the Desert Eagle. Playing as the specialist you literally start off with the desert eagle equivalent, and the weapons you get afterward are so inferior. Full auto pistol, not a fan, much less a fan of the one handed shotgun/hand gun. Granted it's nice to start off so strong but it wouldve been better in the long run to get the stronger hand gun later so I least learned to manage the other Weapons and reach that point.
@@SinclairSan Except for the fact that it definitely is. The Kramer doesn't kill in one shot if you miss the weak point and the Type 95 can kill mobs in one shot on a weakpoint hit with max damage. The Type 95 gets 2.4x the max ammo and deals 58% of the damage of the Kramer Magnum so it can afford to fire 2 bullets for every one Kramer round. The Type 95 has a much higher magazine size to facilitate the potential need for more rounds and and much faster reload speed. It's easier to stumble with the Type 95 than it is the Kramer for the Technician's Resonating Impact and Deep Impact perks and the two pistols bottom out at roughly the same minimum damage (in terms of percent of their maximum damage potential) The very fact that the Type 95 is more versatile would merit it a win IMO, but on harder difficulties when the Kramer no longer one shot kills on a weakpoint the Kramer goes downhill very quickly from its other shortcomings.
Not related to the Video at hand, but since I had a hard time finding information on the topic I thought Id drop my share at as many places as possible ... while trying to amass all dropped weapons, attachements and perks I hit a wall, where I was missing two perks (counting the phalanx one) and two attachments (holo sight, polygonal rifling). after the loot came in farily seemless and it felt there was a smart loot system at works, nothing for about 25-30 missions straight (on intense, priorities one through three). running out of ideas, i swithced things up and went into normal missions first, priority one. within the first three runs, I got both the perks I was missing. after that, once again nothing - until I went into priority four, where THE TWO VERY FIRST hidden caches had the two last missing attachements. now, all of this could be anecdotal RNG, and in the case of the perks Im inclined to say so, but in case of the attachments I think certain dropped loot might be restricted to certain priorities. Anyways, nicely done video, have a nice day everyone!
I’m still looking for the Kramer assault rifle. Any suggestions on difficulty/ missions to farm? Been doing the same thing and get everything except the one thing I’m after lol.
@@uziel0550 weapons unlocks I got in a semi-constant stream, one new weapon every 3ish missions, while doing intense (required for at least some of the weapons) ones, usually priority 1-1 to 2-2, just because those were easier and shorter. order of weapons was appparentely good old RNG, so Id say just pick what you like best and keep at it ;). good look hunting!
For some reason in the game every time I start a mission even on intense and higher the synthetics immediately fill in the empty player slots in the briefing and this happens all the time can someone pls tell me how to fix this
You can get the Specialist Elite (Black and Red) from Standard Horde, there's also Horde Slayer skins and helmets from Extreme and Insane respectively and Insane can drop a Golden Carbon Fiber weapon skin.
I would like for them to fix Tactical Opportunities. I haven't had a new daily since Wednesday. Oh except a pistol challenge to kill 300 hundred that popped up yesterday. I also can't team up in Public. I join a team and then the load screen just sticks. I can't even join friends, they have to join me. (Sarcastically) But Co-op is so fun with bots. And progression is impossible on anything above standard. Searching for a solution or even others suffering the same thing has been a chore in itself.

I removed that and the high lighted enemies day one and started on standard. I love this game but I just hope that the dlc season pass is not just a new class and weapons. We need another chapter and more horde mode levels. Would be cool to fight a neomorph too. Maybe throw a Predalien in there as a nod to the AVP fans.
M4 Sniper comes from playing Standard Difficulty you should get it simply by beating the game, but you can buy the much better (IMO) X46 Ballista Flechette Rifle from the Requisition Store. Type 21 Shotgun is also from simply playing through the game on Standard.
Yeah that was lame for their decision to do that. Ruins the fun of doing it yourself. Can I get the last 3 new weapons and Phalanx to max level right away too? 😑

Alternatively the twilight throws three mags of 16 for 17,280 base damage. Also great for early game is buying the ballista, which throws 20 rounds during overclock for 16,200 base damage.
Alternatively with something like the halberd or pulse rifle you dump 2 and half mags into a target with overclock doing around 9040 damage. DMR win that one in my opinion.

As mentioned before the Recon generates his own ammo opening up the weapons that have ammo issues like the Gruppa which happens to be good at long range anyway and greatly benefits from being able to have it's own portable ammo source or even the Halberd which has the best DPS, but clearly got screwed over in terms of Damage to Ammo Capacity ratios, but if you eliminate that it's statistically the strongest DPS-wise especially for DPS contained within a single magazine and it's not an insignificant amount of DPS higher (Halberd DPS = 1864, Pulse Rifle DPS = 1755, Kramer Assault Rifle DPS = 1656, and the Gruppa DPS = 2970. *Disclaimer this is for single magazine for each of them and not sustained DPS the Gruppa having a low magazine size and longer reload time will have much lower sustained DPS than it's indicated value here, values indicated also don't factor in weakpoint hits and are based on my personal choices for attachments (which favor quicker kill times through firerate since most of the time extra weakpoint damage doesn't actually let you kill a target faster as you'd need to be able to save at least a full bullet for extra damage to be any tangible benefit and it doesn't hit any significant breakpoints by boosting weakpoint damage not for Intense anyway on the Auto Rifles)) Recon as mentioned can negate the only real disadvantage of the Medved the Maximum Ammo and the class itself can turn the Medved into a mid range one shot kill on mobs with near instant reloads if you take the Rapid Dispersal unit for upto 65% faster reloads. Likely a semantics issue, but when you said the farther away you are the more damage you do that's not actually true. The farther away the higher the boost from Downrange is upto the 20%, but depending on the effective range of the weapon you can and will still end up dealing less damage to enemies farther away on numerous weapons ergo the statement in the video is incorrect, but again it's likely a semantics issue, but it could confuse some people watching your video based on the wording being technically incorrect.
Hey..
Where did the scout class go?
Technician with kramer theres a mag that replenishes 10% of your mag with a kill shot. Head shot base enemies and one shotting them means never reloading in some encounters with a high damage hand cannon
M95 granade launcher its for me the best weapon for clean the floor of enemies at long range
I would disagree with the M12 RPG at least in standard. The key is to buff reload speed.
The Twilight is the best weapon hands down. What it lacks in damage it can be modded to have very high fire rate, incredible weak point damage, amazing stability and great accuracy.
The Pump action shotgun actually works better than the type 76. I love the 76 but it suffers in range and stability. Pumps do better damage further and more accurately
Acid we need to play some time man. It's been ages since we've gamed together.
Crazy he didn’t mention the x46 flechette rifle
i swear to god, if i get hosed by a flamethrower from a teammate one more fkn time...
So just m324a and scout..... devs better buff the others otherwise the bugs are gonna stomp us a new mudhole.
I been trying to find videos on the outfits and how to get stuff like the classic helmet.
I want that Auto Shotgun! I guess it's time to grind...
What attachments would you recommend for the vulcan?
Not using it. It's an obnoxious weapon for your team to work around you when you use it, but if you insist on using it and annoying everybody you're playing with. Flared Breech, Miller Twist Rifling, and Deep Railed Armature. (Note that the Phosphorous Munitions as of right now can proc on hit, but you're liable to set yourself on fire when it procs due to the short range of the weapon and the vision obscuring effect makes it easy not to notice the visual effect from the proc so highly recommend not using it, plus it can damage your teammates.
Stay in casual lobbies and you'll be fine.
Still trying to get my Type 76 Auto-shotgun. I did get the Kramer and Gruppa rifles and the MP11 SMG.
My only beef is that when you start with the specialist class you pretty much get the best handgun there is, granted I haven't unlocked all weapons yet.
To put it in perspective,
In call of duty (back in the day) you'd usually start with a simple pistol, and you level up to the Desert Eagle.
Playing as the specialist you literally start off with the desert eagle equivalent, and the weapons you get afterward are so inferior. Full auto pistol, not a fan, much less a fan of the one handed shotgun/hand gun.
Granted it's nice to start off so strong but it wouldve been better in the long run to get the stronger hand gun later so I least learned to manage the other Weapons and reach that point.
Type 95 pistol definitely better than the started pistol
@@FadedFades it’s not
@@SinclairSan Except for the fact that it definitely is. The Kramer doesn't kill in one shot if you miss the weak point and the Type 95 can kill mobs in one shot on a weakpoint hit with max damage. The Type 95 gets 2.4x the max ammo and deals 58% of the damage of the Kramer Magnum so it can afford to fire 2 bullets for every one Kramer round. The Type 95 has a much higher magazine size to facilitate the potential need for more rounds and and much faster reload speed. It's easier to stumble with the Type 95 than it is the Kramer for the Technician's Resonating Impact and Deep Impact perks and the two pistols bottom out at roughly the same minimum damage (in terms of percent of their maximum damage potential) The very fact that the Type 95 is more versatile would merit it a win IMO, but on harder difficulties when the Kramer no longer one shot kills on a weakpoint the Kramer goes downhill very quickly from its other shortcomings.
@@SinclairSan try it out! Its so good
@@FadedFades no
The overclock+smg.. shredded the boss..
Just finished extreme difficulty starting insane tomorrow night
How is he not using the scope when he aims down sights? Is this a cheat that PC players have? And can you do it in the actual game?
Overclock faster reload stability fire rate and damage forgot that friend it's a little bit but they don't tell you but you can notice
Where did u get that wallpaper at the end of the video
Not related to the Video at hand, but since I had a hard time finding information on the topic I thought Id drop my share at as many places as possible ...
while trying to amass all dropped weapons, attachements and perks I hit a wall, where I was missing two perks (counting the phalanx one) and two attachments (holo sight, polygonal rifling). after the loot came in farily seemless and it felt there was a smart loot system at works, nothing for about 25-30 missions straight (on intense, priorities one through three).
running out of ideas, i swithced things up and went into normal missions first, priority one. within the first three runs, I got both the perks I was missing.
after that, once again nothing - until I went into priority four, where THE TWO VERY FIRST hidden caches had the two last missing attachements.
now, all of this could be anecdotal RNG, and in the case of the perks Im inclined to say so, but in case of the attachments I think certain dropped loot might be restricted to certain priorities.
Anyways, nicely done video, have a nice day everyone!
I’m still looking for the Kramer assault rifle. Any suggestions on difficulty/ missions to farm? Been doing the same thing and get everything except the one thing I’m after lol.
@@uziel0550 weapons unlocks I got in a semi-constant stream, one new weapon every 3ish missions, while doing intense (required for at least some of the weapons) ones, usually priority 1-1 to 2-2, just because those were easier and shorter.
order of weapons was appparentely good old RNG, so Id say just pick what you like best and keep at it ;). good look hunting!
I love the laser pistol 😂
😞
Is there a total of 31 weapons so fare if so I got all of the weapons max level
For some reason in the game every time I start a mission even on intense and higher the synthetics immediately fill in the empty player slots in the briefing and this happens all the time can someone pls tell me how to fix this
That AR 16 I don’t think is in the game anymore 🤔
Shotgun + overclock is the best
When ever my team mate uses a flame thrower I bo blind for a minute and lose my bearings
What attachments are you running on the scout rifle for intense difficulty?
I need ppl to play with
I got the achievements to prove 30 weapons
That is awesome gun
I've been spamming intense missions and haven't gotten any of the weapons sadge
Phalanx wasnt out yet?
Can you turn off the X on kills?
Yes ❌
Too bad the weapons were apparently broken and leveling them was pointless with the new update... but we didn’t know so I guess ohh well
Yup. that was lame.
So you pretty much used the same weapons for each class
How is ur outfit black an red?? How u unlock that outfit??
You can get the Specialist Elite (Black and Red) from Standard Horde, there's also Horde Slayer skins and helmets from Extreme and Insane respectively and Insane can drop a Golden Carbon Fiber weapon skin.
@@dwlr007 oh wow I didn’t know that
Cool man
Yes yes yes yes yes
I would like for them to fix Tactical Opportunities. I haven't had a new daily since Wednesday. Oh except a pistol challenge to kill 300 hundred that popped up yesterday. I also can't team up in Public. I join a team and then the load screen just sticks. I can't even join friends, they have to join me. (Sarcastically) But Co-op is so fun with bots. And progression is impossible on anything above standard. Searching for a solution or even others suffering the same thing has been a chore in itself.
Ya, I got the same issue as you. You can only join a party if you are the host. Im Playing on PC.
Ditto even the same Pistol Challenge popping up.
@@winstonsim8982 I queued and then got stuck on load screen, then I stop it on steam. I then went back in to queue and it worked. Pretty lame work around but it actually works for public matching, even though you have do it every time you boot the game up.
@@Bobby_E_Cody wow thank you for this solution. I will try it when im able to play game.
And I feel like our issue is very rare. I don't see this complaint on discord or reddit
@@Bobby_E_Cody yea man so annoying, I love the game , I max all classes except medic and before last patch I didn’t have this connection issue , but lately after the patch it can take up to 30 min till I finally can join someone to run level instead got backed out to loading screen !!!
I kinda want this game but the big red kill X es are kind of a deal breaker for me.
removable in options
an X icon ruins your purchase? Damn.. well you can disable that..
I removed that and the high lighted enemies day one and started on standard. I love this game but I just hope that the dlc season pass is not just a new class and weapons. We need another chapter and more horde mode levels. Would be cool to fight a neomorph too. Maybe throw a Predalien in there as a nod to the AVP fans.
Where do you find the type 21 shotgun and M4 sniper?
M4 Sniper comes from playing Standard Difficulty you should get it simply by beating the game, but you can buy the much better (IMO) X46 Ballista Flechette Rifle from the Requisition Store. Type 21 Shotgun is also from simply playing through the game on Standard.
@@dwlr007Alright. Thanks for your reply
How you unlock more weapons?
Play on Intense difficulty. upgrade from standard and easy mode
So what does leveling up a weapon do actually?
Make the weapon OP duh 🙄
they need to add the classic Pulse rifle.
How do I get the Kramer Assault Rifle?
You can find one in those Hidden Chests when you running through levels
Can also get it from finishing missions on intense its random
The snipers are no good
Grenade launcher is the worst weapon actually
The timed ones are bad.
Johnson Betty Davis Joseph Clark Michael
Relud!
Suggesting the scout or kramer pistol is a dead giveaway you dont know what your talking about.
Scrubs who play only standard.
Hurt my teammates? How?
Intense and above players
Disgusting
When you get enough experience, standard XP rewards are not enough. I only play on Intense. It feels about right.
66th like👍
And now are all wapons 4 star and the game is boring great
I thought it was a glitch
Yeah that was lame for their decision to do that. Ruins the fun of doing it yourself. Can I get the last 3 new weapons and Phalanx to max level right away too? 😑
So disappointed in aliens fire team
theirs actually move guns then that
love the rpg rocket launcher
