Too Stressful and requires too much

[Rip]

I like this game, I really do, but sometimes this game requires too much grinding and the mechanics are just so whack.

I'm doing the LEA Lab Infiltration mission. I get the first boss stage down after 3 tries, not too bad, right? The next boss (Dr. Mannheim)... lets just say I've never been that stressed and annoyed at this game... I get all 5 (or maybe 6, idk) deviants in their silo pods which was very stressful because the deviants and the doctor keep shooting their spit balls at you and it follows you around like a lost puppy plus the annoying spitters and fat gastrics that chase you around and block your way constantly. After that, I have do as much damage as I can to the doctor WHILE fighting off the spitters and gastrics and because of that I don't do as much damage as I could've. Then I have to repeat this cycle AGAIN! It's so time consuming and a waste of my resources, I have to go through thousands of ammo and 30 activators each time I go through this process AND my armor is about to break so i can't continue on. Also, I don't know if its lag or server connection but sometimes when I try to use an activator I go slow for like 3 seconds and it got me killed a few times, like what is that?

I know some of you will say, "get a good build" or "you gotta upgrade your gear" but like bro... it requires so much grinding and to even get the resources that I need and the loot is so RNG, it just takes up too much time and I already have 100 hours played on this game.

For those of you who will say "make friends and have them help you out," I like to lonewolf these games. I don't want to go through that process of finding people who can help you out on your missions. I like to play alone and not have to depend on other people. At least the devs should make this game playable for people who don't want to join a group.

Sorry for the rant but its because I just logged off after I died fighting Dr. Mannheim and I'm just not sure if I should keep grinding or not.

You choose to make the game harder then complain like some Elden Ring player who refuses to use summons, a better build, or call upon randoms to help. It's not the game's responsibility to make itself easier to suit your self-imposed challenge conditions.

Also, not everyone's struggling like you. You got guys beating the first boss in 2 seconds.

Farming is basically automated in this game. Acid, ores, hides, you can get them all by building the right machines or having the right deviants. There are even specializations that craft monster drops so ultimately the only thing you need is money to purchase them from other players, which you can mass acquire with ease. Our server leader hit 2 million by the end of the 1st week. He's well over 20 million now. That's a lot of bullets.

1. I never played Elden Ring so idk what you are trying to say there
2. Farming=grinding which takes up too much time. Like I said the game requires too much grinding to meet the required standards.
3. I didn't know about purchasing items from other players, I'm not that well-informed and I don't know everything about the game because there's so much information to know.
4. All I want is a difficulty choice for this mission. The previous Boss missions, they had a normal, hard, and pro difficulty setting. Why can't this one have it instead of it just being a set Pro difficulty. Like Hard I can handle but Pro... nah thats crazy.

Thats why I'm saying they should have a difficulty setting instead of being set to Pro mode. And its not easy to find a squad who is willing to help you out, especially ones that have the required standard for the mission.

If you are not a meta build you will never complete this dungeon normally
but if you want to cheese it then craft about 60+ smoke grenades they wont attack or shoot the homing missiles at you as long as your in the smoke

[Vile]

To avoid the "spit balls" you can use a Spectral Cloak that makes you invisible. You need the memetic Specialization to be able to craft one though. Or you can buy from other players vending machine. Just ask in World chat if anyone is selling them. Or use smoke grenades as mentioned. There's a good video on YT showing how to solo using the invisibility cloak.
TBH I'd just team up. Why make the game more difficult than it needs to be by soloing a dungeon designed for 4 players?

Good enough huh, more like, they know how to cheese

[AnuWubis]

its only Pro cause it should be a challenge if challenges arent something for you, you can get the seasongoal without it and just watch a video about it so at end your the problem

Dude im using the 8k crossbow and a purple Desert eagle 3 stars upgrad with bulleyes with recover mark mod (when mark enemy die get 25% hp back and stam)

Of course all armour and weapon are max out and needed like 8k pistol ammo and maybe 100 activator to clear is solo and it took a good 25-30 min but stop thinking you can only do this with meta build cause that is not fukken true at all lol.

There is no meta build cross/pistol at all so i guess i can do it.i used 0 grenade or turret or anything beside wolf deviant/food and steel ap ammo.
