Reached the Defend the Old Spaceport mission, got filtered, you can laugh now.

[Omega Synth]

Not much else to say other than I can't beat the boss in it.
I've already gotten stressed WAY TOO MUCH at this game before. I've had it.
I got filtered, laugh at me, say I should "get gud", I don't care anymore, It's what I bloody deserve anyway.
I'm AWARE of how bad of a player I am, considering I can't even beat this boss post-patch, so this is it.
I got filtered. NOTHING I can do about it.
I can't beat the game.

Nah, just take a break and come back to it. You can do it, its just an AC.

Sorry, mate, but I've had it. I'm NOT good at this game.
I've TRIED getting good at this game, but I honest to God CAN'T.

It gets tiring to fight bosses LEVEL after LEVEL after LEVEL after LEVEL, constantly having bosses thrown at me over and over and over, I'm NOT skillful enough for this, I'm NOT smart enough for this, I just can't, I got filtered, simple as.

You don't have to believe in yourself, because I believe in you!
Believe in the me that believes in you!!

Seriously, take a break and come back later.

When everything else fails, that's when you bring out the double zimmermans.

If you tell us what kind of a mech you are using and how you'd wish to beat him, I'm sure the good people on this forum would gladly offer suggestion. I'm reasonably sure that boss is not "filter class".

[Koros Antavo]

...there are always the easymode builds, if you'd still like to keep on playing. Heavy dual gatling tank with some heavy back-mounted artillery is a good choice. You'll have plenty of AP and defences to not bother with movement much, and the gatlings do very good damage and stagger very consistently.

If your skill on the field leaves to be desired, improve your skill in the garage.

I was using a Biped, assault rifle on the right hand, blade on the left, Songbird on the left shoulder, 8 missile launcher on the right shoulder.

I think the fact this IS NOT a "filter class" boss just proves my point that I CAN'T BEAT THIS GAME.

Tried that too. Guess what. Didn't work. I can't beat the game.

Also, tell us which specific part of the mission you're stuck on

Take a break then come back refreshed. 2 things you have to look out for is the grenade launcher and pile bunker, stay out of melee range but also mix in some aerial so the grenade launcher doesn't get free hits.

You mentioned "the boss" in your original post, Is the boss in question the two HC units?

Defend the Old Spaceport is the mission where you fight Nightfall.

I got a simple build for you which deletes AC's. I'm not sure which parts you have access to but just pick stuff that fits. It always delivers.
1.) Double Zimmermann shotguns
2.) Double BML-G2/PO5MLT-10 Rocket launchers on shoulders.
3.) Tetrapod legs.
4.) Medium to tanky core/head/arms. Pick some from Balam like Melander series. Whatever you got should work.

5.) That's it. Rocket launchers have very good tracking, stagger and damage. Zimmermanns are completely overtuned and eat health bars for breakfast.

The strategy is also simple. Lock on and keep fairly close. stagger your rocket salvos, hammer the shotgun triggers. Once you break his ACS, assault burst in and kick. All the while firing from all cannons. Don't forget your core expansion. Assault armor gives a chunky boost to your damage potential, or pick the barrier for more survivability.


I doubt you got the small stun guns yet? The electrified dart pistols with double needle launcher on top also melts most enemies, hehe. DPS-checked the final-final-final boss with that one.

edit: On the point of you not having the patience for bosses. I just tried to find the most broken builds on which I could fall back on in case I got frustrated. Cheesed my way through anything that bothered me and then started experimenting with more complex builds.

If you notice your ACS starting to rise up, get away so you have a chance to recover in time if you're staggered. At the very least so you can potentially quick-boost out because you do NOT want to get Pile-Bunkered.

Other options include going even higher on mobility/boost speed to work around Nightfall's Assault Rifle rounds, using a high melee-thrust and shotgun combination to try to surprise-stagger them and force a repair kit, or going tetrapod and kiting them with Linear Rifles and missiles.

You'll get through it, just need to likely adjust your playstyle or parts to work around it. You could also try to put on Assault Armor in case you're fearful of getting stagger-bunkered and mash it out to hopefully stun Nightfall before the Bunker connects. Terminal Armor might help you learn the boss and get a last-chance, but Assault Armor will more than likely open an AC up for a kill.
