"Guards dropping thru Acid Block with Dead Man's Switch" What is your Opinion?

[CountSero]

It seems that Outpost increasing which are only using Corrosive Cubes with Opaque and 2nd Wave, HoloCubes with 2nd Wave, Guard which dropping thru the Corrosive Cubes which triggers Dead Man’s Switch.

I didn’t find a way to beat such level when you are surrounded from all sides with Opaque Corrosive Cube and dead Bodies dropping down. To Spice it up, they also hide BoltShot with overshot behind such Cubes….

Unfortunately, dead bodies passing the Flash Barrier so it is useless...

Imho such builds are close to an exploit or I’m to dump to beat them.

Beside the deaths you also get punished in rank points if you leave this outpost undone...

For sure it kills more and more the fun of this game they are the woerst kind of KillBoxes…..

Running... if just running doesn't work, run with Arc Barrier and dropping Flash Barriers.
That's usually enough, for the ones I've encountered.

It's a cheesy strat to drop bodies like that, to be sure. But for variety it's okay, I guess - as long as it doesn't become a meta.

Seems like an exploit to me since it can get through the barrier consumable that you can use. Meaning there is no counter play to it

[Pure Hostility]

Neutral, one of many things to worry about. May catch you off guard the first few times.
Shield and deployable shield gadget counters it (flash barrier needs to be placed on the genmat itself). Depending on the setup, may even be possible to outrun.

If you are speaking about DM switch when used outside of genmat 2nd wave activation time, well.. you were outwitted.

I wonder if "Dead Man switch fall guys" was an issue in Beta too?

[Ratsplat]

I wouldn't say issue. But it existed there too. I only quit such outposts because I don't have Mouse controls on my deck and I don't have any of the counter equipment yet. If I did, I'd beat them in an instant.

There is an easy way to beat it : Use the shield when they explode and you're fine. I've only died one time to such trap and finded the solution right after, never died from it again ever.

Boltshots, incinerators & other ranged traps detecting through 2nd wave acid cubes without clear line of sight is a current bug/exploit, you should report any outposts you see taking advantage of this through the outpost selection menu or pausing mid-raid & looking at the builder's profile (will give you the option to report the outpost).

I'd say this is currently the only actual and true exploit. Everything else is working as intended, just their combos are really strong. Cubes kill guards, guards explode on death. Nothing working incorrectly there.

... can't you just throw down a phoenix capsule after taking the genmat and res once everyone exploded ?

Theres a simple fix for this: Shield Consumable.
Only costs a few blue resources, but you can safely grab the genmat and then place it down if you feel like it will be a situation where the creator just spammed traps killbox style with cheesy exploits.

Didn't see it at all during the beta
