best armor

[frobisher]

Just out of curiosity what armor do you think is best for the end game mission? I use mostly Predator with a few scouts in Sentinel armor.

All predators because they have 1 hit kill guns. I use a tank for scouting.

You'll never get hit if everyone dies in one volley from the rail mg. If you're that worried, put one guy in sentinel with shield and gun + medikit IIRC.

A soldier in Sentinel armor can also use a Magstorm just like a Predator, plus the sentinel can see much better. I have found a good use for the tank. I park it in front of the door where the reapers come out greatly reducing their number because they can't get out of the door blocked by the tank and for some reason they cannot destroy it either. That is strange because reapers can destroy the Hyperion with just one or two hits usually.

Magstorm on predator armor is better because predator armor reduces AP costs. So the magstorm can fire more often and the predators can move farther while still being able to shoot.

I also don't remember reapers being able to attack vehicles ever. Did they add this in a new update sometime after a year?

Good point about the Predator armor. I have been playing this game for years (CE version) and have seen reapers destroy tanks many times. I have no idea when this was updated into the game. All I remember is the frustration of having my expensive tank sometimes destroyed with one hit by a reaper. It has already happened twice in this play through.

Apparently if you have modded the game (i.e community edition) reapers can attack vehicles.

Yes, I have never played the vanilla game just the community edition because I have heard that the CE version is so much better so I never bothered with the original.

The community edition is complete and total garbage.

it isn't the "communites" vision, it is one single person's vision, and a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ vision at that.

Last I played it was much the same for me: a Tank for frontline scout and land flattening, Sentinels for maximum visibility scout, Predators for shredding anything that remotely resembles the shape of an alien that is left standing.
