How are you dealing with flying insects ?

It is insta death for my whole squad doesnt matter my defenses.

Builkd a 4x4 jail house near your turrets.

Strongest material you got, then put all jail windows in every wall. ! hour before attack put your people in it, and see the magic happen.

1 attack before this one where 125 flyers, got no scratch.

Tip. flyers only fly when attacked, they stay on ground otherwise, so most went into my killbox instead of flying to my people.

I agree with this, bunker is good, they cannot attack from above since they're arial, and survivors can shoot em. Good build.

I found if I kite them into a forest or under trees or the equivalent I live longer or win.
I guess they cannot spit acid on you through tree cover

And like someone else said, take the fight to them and kite small groups away from the horde at a time

I have a fleet of flying attack bots that pretty much takes care of everything and anything usually before it even hits the base.

At the base I've got lasers at the entrances and a few flak guns in the center. The flyers have no chance.

Note that the more defensive stuff you build the larger the attacking horde is. It's directly linked.

Make sure to garrison your slave bots before attacks. Wish there were a way to automate that but, ...

Pistols are best. Bows are 2nd best. The shotgun aoe blaster is 3rd.

The best way is to lure some to you when they spawn. Killing them gradually as they approach, so one guy with a sniper the rest with pistols and bows.

Just using a killbox is better, don't waste 5 hours to kite and kill a few, just work till 4hours are past and move the people in a safe zone near the killbox. Fast forward and done.

But if you like to be a bit active with combat, then indeed go kite them!

In short do whatever you like!

This topic was made before new toys where in the game... Still the killbox working perfectly fine, never needed the new toys, never used a mech either lol.
