[...........]

The best combination in the game

might be rush but clear rate is low

probly my age but after map loss with that combination makes quit playing for moment

I not even sure if the reward worth the extra time and button mashing

This should be the base game mode, chef's kiss.

Darkness modifier should be base game. Just with better flashlights. >.>

This is the reason we should be able to lock missions to try them and play them as much as we want...it is great and rare.

The hair on my chest has grown its own set of hair and I now have a third testicle after winning a T5 Hi-Intent Shock Trooper.

Oh the reward doesn't reflect the difficulty at all. I must've gotten a fraction of the usual rewards from spamming these yesterday. xD

And your worries are perfectly warranted, if you want to grind especially as a pub gamer, these aren't worth the effort. But I think it's amazingly fun to finally have a mode where we can go all out. Really test ourselves with our strongest, most insane builds and playing as well as we possibly can against a mode that takes every bit of effort to pass.

Even here if you have a great team it's reasonably "easy". But very few pub teams are great. There's always 1-3 members in there that don't stick together, don't stick to covering their side, don't keep the pace up or rush too much, don't use resources, or don't share them, or are using some weird inefficient build. Almost always one of these. And hi-intensity STG is finally a mode that just 1-2 people will find very very hard to carry alone. It's really fun to have such a challenge.

Shock gauntlet is hard as frick.
Shock practically turns malice into heresy difficulty etc.

its crappy gaffa-taped design. its the most talentless, stupid, dev solution to a major design problem..
..
rarely seen pro devs suck this much with such a high amount of resources; who are not straight up malicious from the start (such as star citizen, yer one should have done that scam, crap you can do in unreal in less than 5 months, and he already scammed more than 500 million dollars off people;
if they had ANY brain they would use 100m of that to hire a competent dev team, make the shtty game and cash in 400+ million dollars homefree from their scam...)

..
its insane ... seriously f-all-those-people-who-allow-this-bs-to-exist.

My fingers don't appreciate this mode but I appreciate the challenge.

Try it with an Assasination mission! Trying to dodge muties, flames on top of a angry man with a hammer is badass!

not even close lmao

Shock troop gauntlet actually made me fail like 2-3 low-intensity missions yesterday. That's saying something. I don't remember failing low-intensity missions in months probably. Like, it just doesn't happen.

I mean every single one was because of a dog so it kinda doesn't count since that's just tantamount to a dying to a bug, but still. Low-intensity is actually incredibly misleading with them because you get used to the afk eyes closed boredom as nothing happens and then suddenly 10 minutes in you get 6 crushers 3-4 bulwarks tons of other specials and 3 of those dog-sized bugs running around and it can really catch you by surprise.

But yeah, every time I play this modifier I'm loving it more! Minus the dogs ofc.
