45 seconds

[Titanium Jesus]

A few others have posted about the goals of a particular hazard on a particular map being asinine, and I can agree with them to an extent. But standing still for 45 seconds on h2 salt?

The fk?

this is simply retarded for a game that demands movement for positioning and resource acquisition.

And it isn't 45 seconds total, it's 45 seconds straight.

So I loaded the map and stood there for a minute.
And then.
I abandoned the mission.

This is NOT good goal design. You never want to be in a position even remotely close to this when the goal of your game is to not play the game.

I found it to be pretty easy. Used the Maintenance Worker, took 3 turrets and a drone. When I got to stage 5 and the resupply dropped I picked it up and stood there. The constructs kept me safe, got the achievement and had plenty of time to deal with boss.

I think I got this after getting Zhukov to 18 for death spiral, and stood still for 45 seconds at the beginning of the next floor. Another option is getting turrets + seismic repulsor. Get a few upgrades/overclocks and start the timer at the beginning of a floor.

I got the cog for standing still in the same mission as the other 2 tier 2 salt cogs. It really was not hard, nor did it break the run completely.

I stood still on the engineer when I first loaded in on the first stage.

Maybe I got real lucky since I ended up in a rock hole.

...

It was easy with 2+ leveled AoE weapons and a cul de sac [dead end].
Even the top part of the Drop Pod Ramp works though I felt that was cheaty.

But I have a question ... how is standing still for 45 seconds "not playing the game" ?
Nvm, i forgot your a person and not a rational AI.

Good luck, have fun.

It's Haz 2. I just stood there at the start with a scout.

Ditto. This was stupid easy.

Not sure what all these replies are about tbh. The way i read the OP is that they also found it "Stupid Easy".

Their point is the "Goal" in this case is just, well, CRAP!!!

Idk either. I just keep seeing more and more discussions getting bombarded by these out of context comments lately. And by lately, I mean for the past five years or so.

I comprehended just fine. It's a pointless complaint.

Most goals on the missions absolutely suck ass, every single one of the level a weapon to X is just as bad, oh you didn't get the right weapon by level 5 even spending all gold on rerolls.. better restart, oh you didn't get the right options on level ups or through shop.. well to bad.

I have lost count on how many X weapon to lvl 21 I've failed to complete simply because I just didn't get the upgrade options for that weapon despite spending everything possible during the run.

Aside from so many overgear options being basic and boring locking higher Hazard levels behind the need to complete these arbitrary goals is atleast to me one of the major things that is holding this game back.

I like the Resource Pod rescue perk that gives you buffs for standing still.

[MadLeeTKG]

Literally the easiest one to complete, you just spawn in as maintenence worker (scout) and dont move

[Buscemi]

skill issue. I did it first try
