Usually breeze through substantial but here the past week man the mobs are insane Be no breathing room a carnifex and neurothropes or what ever those floating things are called. With spores... Couple times couldn't even roll it was so dense.. Me and a few Randoms were like wtf was that.? Never seen a carnifex on the last level of inferno till yesterday too lol.. That was fun
Average difficulty is probably the most fun you’ll have in this game. I’d would even go as far to say minimal. At those difficulties you actually feel like a space marine and the director throws the horde at you when you’re over level. Starting at substantial or higher not much changes other than the enemies hitting harder, and becoming damage sponges that completely kill the feel of being a walking tank. I have cleared lethal…whoopididooo!!! It’s not fun, it’s work, and you have to deal with toxic players that think way too much of themselves. Do yourself a favor…drop your difficulty, maybe even run solo, and learn how to have fun in this amazing game!!!
I've done probably over 100 substantial operations, from launch through all patches. I can definitely tell within the last 4 weeks or so sometimes I'll get into an op with randoms and the amount of wave after wave coming at us feels like ruthless bare minimum. Not quite lethal but on the precipice. It doesn't happen often just sometimes even the randoms I'm playing with will get on the chat and be like what the hell was that lol.
Make no mistake. It is a very hard game for the average gamer. For the good gamer it's challenging depending on the spawn rng. For a really good gamer, sure, not much of a challenge to had. But the again, they won't find big challenges in many games at all.
You should try using pistol more and learn its mechanic. Bolt pistol isnt bad at killing mobs. They 1 shot cultists, 1 headshot homogants, 1 hs bird man at sub and lower while needing 2 hs at ruth and up.
Brother, seriously you got to let me know when you do these little experiments you know I wouldn't mind lending you a hand on the regular when I am around
Hey man, I was hoping to see you all "run the bridge" and skip everything XD Mostly because I told my team last night to do it, and we did, on Lethal. I told them just make it a race to get to the end and whoever gets there, spawns the rest of us, even if you die. We got there, one of us, the others didn't respawn XD I was wondering if that's just not a thing anymore. I swear i've seen you do it 100 times!!!
@@Yeertski That's exactly what we did XD Good to know you have that experience too though! I thought I was crazy! (Might still be crazy but hey!) Thank you! =)
you need to face tyrinds instead it get super bad i just had a nerothrope and 2 ravners at the same tim and the bloody guys with the gun the shoots seeds made a whole carpet i was on balistic battery u cant just don one a say its ok its really not

I've had the exact same experience! I jumped on Ruthless Inferno for the first time in forever last night and it was a breeze.
Played substantial yesterday had massive wave with zoenthrope and a nerothrope... i think those complaints about substantial is with tyrenids
Tyranids on substantial are really difficult

Could not agree more!
That's ruthless for me, personally, but also could be because i'm an adrenaline junkie lmao.
Can’t imagine going below substantial. You can already consistently 1 shot all majoris and extremis on substantial.
Substantial is the difficulty I use to level up new weapons, then I move to ruthless at artificer

Yes i found it the same, sometimes it's too tired to even finished substantial vox liberatis,.. imminent wave even at the first gate
I’d say it seems worse on Tyranid levels; just seems way more agro.
It was never hard people just kinda suck at the game

You've convinced me to try the bolt sniper. (Unclenches death grip on Las)

I was really just testing the waters a bit lol! I'm hearing Tyranids on Substantial spawn in bigger waves though. I might give that a go!
@Yeertski just let me know when, if I am on I will gladly be your bulwark
It seems if you purposely play less well then substantial is easier it seems
Expending all of your ammo often as possible seems to work
Excited for this hunt ⚔️🛡🔫

You would have to wait for the respawn timer in Lethal I believe. It is essentially the same thing you just need to wait a couple minutes lol.

If my PC would run SM2 I'd play a LOT of sniper. Trying to land headshots from a controller, with my arthritic thumbs is simply not happening.
I had different experiences on substantial difficulty. It's not that hard if you pay attention..
Edit: i play Xbox
The easiest op on this difficulty is fall of Atreus
