    I'm on my ship right now but not playing. Left it on at the sign in screen and finally got in, so I'm going to stay in while I finish up other stuff.

    Steam servers at capacity, damnit.
    Looked into getting it on PS5, but it’s not cross-save.

    Make sure to have all output audio going through your headset.

    Under audio output, under headphones you select all audio on output to headphones.

    Is it just chugging like crazy? I had to restart my game once because of that.

    This game has it's hooks in me, tho it's pretty simple. Kinda rinse/repeat, but it's fun as shit, and has me wanting to play when I'm doing real life things throughout the day.

    Only complaint about this game is the rifles and smg’s seem useless and those are the guns I typically like to use in shooters

    The weapons definitely need some balancing. The Breaker is far and away the best weapon.

    Railgun is the best weapon and fucks up heavy armored guys
    Breaker for clearing out groups
    Uzi for running away from death

    Rock the engineer light armor bc super fast and carries 2 extra democracy filled nades and crouch recoil control

    switch to tanky fuck armor in the automation defense missions.

    level 16 and didn’t play at all this weekend because of server shit show. Past 2 weeks before servers got crazy the game was insanely fun

    Pretty much exactly what I've been running.

    Swap the armor with 50% explosive resistance for automatons. Saves from being one shot by the rocket guys.

    Rover Guard Dog has become a must have until I can get personal bubble shield at level 20

    It can definitely help with ads. Problem is it seems to shoot me as much as the enemies.

    what are the best stratagems IYO

    My go to setup these days (in that I’ve barely started going against bots ) is Stalwart with RPM cranked all the way up, Rover, either a Gatling or cannon sentry, and typically a direct orbital strike along with Breaker and uzi

    I’ve been using the laser guard dog (he does shoot the shit out of me), precision air strike thing, rocket launcher, air cannon turret.

    The 500kg bomb is a blast. Is it actually that useful? Kind of depends. Can take down a bile titan in one shot if it hits right.

    But my favorite strategems are the orbital laser (only 3 uses but it's a great oh shit stratagem) and I've been using different turrets based on what we're fighting. They're great for bug breaches or whatever the robot equivalent is called. Also been using the orbital rail cannon to get a one shot on bigger enemies.

    I hate the mine field. I die to friendly fire so much.

    I love it in defend position scenarios. I just throw it out there and forget that section until shit pops off. But there are other more useful things to slot instead for everything else.

    It's useful but only in the right scenario.

    I’ve only fought bots about 4-5 times, but mortar turret is a must against them cause that shit can bring down drop ships
