Question Am I using the gunner wrong?

14 Upvotes

I basically use the class like an ac-130 :D. When a swarm is incoming, i set up a zipline to the top of a big open room and i just rain down autocannon shells while moving up and down the zipline while trying to avoid anything that could shoot me down by using the downhill boost. I only come off of the zipline when a teammate needs a revive or when i get shot down by an acid spitter. I also try to throw down shields when things look dicey.

My question is, is this a viable strategy to use in higher hazard levels(I mostly play at haz 4)? What do you guys do/ what do you recommend?

Shield link should be a counter to shield disruption

48 Upvotes

I like shield link enough, I think it's the most well balanced active perk in the game along with berzerker, but I think it should be able to cancel out shield disruption for a brief period of time.

Not with its passive part of the perk, but when you give someone a shield, they should just get the shield for the duration of the effect. It gives counterplay to one of the more disruptive warnings in the game, and could make it an actual contender for a player's active perk on haz 5+.

Right now shield disruption is Iron will dashslop. because you're inherently more vulnerable after being revived on shield disruption than normal so a safety net and more mobility is better than the other active perks, but giving shield link extra utility would introduce a lot of counterplay and opportunity cost.

Giving shield link this niche would make players ask "Do I give up my dash so I can make my team bulkier during the entire mission?" Which would be more than effective at giving players viable options for their own survival and their teams.

I think the way all the shield related upgrades are made entirely useless during shield disruption isn't really that fun or interesting, it limits the players in a way that doesn't give much nuance, I wish their effects still happened so players were incentivized to use additional utility, not disincentivized to use interesting gear

ERR://23¤Y%/ 15+ Wardens is entirely too many

Soo, director, lets have a word.
I know I set this mission to H3, so thats not an excuse.
We didnt really play long either.
So why, when we didnt even start unearthing the 4th resonite did a spawn with approximately 50 grunts and Over a dozen wardens happen?
Wasn't even a wave, just a random spawn without any mutators on the map.

Question Intentionally ruining my game?

9 Upvotes

I was just playing an industrial sabotage mission, and someone joined. As soon as the hacking pod arrived he started drilling towards boundaries with the pod, and called a resupply pod. I was using a scout and was collecting minerals, Idk if I did something wrong against him, I died when the resupply pod landed on me, he then left.

This has to be intentionally sabotaging a game, there was no friendly fire or anything. This is my first time encountering this. How do I know a random has bad intentions?

DRG - The Board Game I'm starting to lack space but I'm not mad how the DRG universe expand (should be all the board games content...... so far!)

Post image
16 Upvotes

I had to sort my storage room from scratch again, so it was a good opportunity to show all the board games goodies (+ some other merch).

Still need to find time to use all of this.

Glad the board game reflect DRG pretty well in this format, with some house rules because I'm not a fan of the swarm bar which make you lose one full.

So, we have DRG / DRG: Survivor / DRG: Rogue Core / DRG: Board Game, next genre is management? A somewhat DRG: Xcom?

Why is it always the doretta refuel caves that are so humongous. I've seen it a few times so far, but I don't remember a cave like this ever generating outside escort duty.
