About the order infantry (difficulty)

[Ubzee]

I don't know what you guys think about the order infantry, but I've found them to be too easy which is disappointing considering the build up they had. I've been able to kill any soldiers I've come across (in single player) with minimal damage, their AI just doesn't want to hurt you enough, seemingly preferring to run around, instead of fighting. They also deal a rather low amount of damage, which is strange considering their shooting a guy covered in paper magazines and filing cabinet doors charging them with a makeshift spear. Their damage is also just plain low in comparison to other enemies such as the "exors".(the totally not vortigaunt things)

I'm just curious what you guys think of them?

You have the exact opposite opinion of the playerbase at the moment everyone thinks the order is overtuned if you look at the discussions so expect them to get easier over time vs harder

I think they're pretty well balanced. They have strength in numbers, not in resistance.

I've never been a fan of spongy enemies so I'm satisfied with how they are now. You can take out one of them pretty easily with headshots, but they'll also alert each other. When you have 4-6 of these guys rushing your position, you'll find out you're getting easily overwhelmed.

They're well tuned. Maybe the grenade it a bit too weak, its not a threat at all.
They're only going to get easier to take out as we get better tools.
I've taken on the whole crossroad in solo with solder spears and slushie bombs. Would have been even easier had i had any other throwable.

Our tools are too strong. Already they're dummy strong. Its impossible to be overwhelmed when you have a single, instant impact weapon that nukes an area. No cooldown or reload, its just a consumable.

The only threat are the snipers because they're always out of reach for any weapons; They're poorly designed.

The order is oppressively strong and can overwhelm you easily until you can scrape up 2 pieces of forge armor then they get reasonable until you get the full set of forge armor where they are easy. I feel like that's the intended progression.

i hope we eill get some more sandbox settings regarding them

the worst thing in this game in regards to combat is INCONSISTENCY
sometimes i can sneak oneshot them, sometimes they turn around and SMG me in the face (and same with literaly every enemy)

they can be EZ and stupid one time where you can kill one solider and the other one will not notice a thing, next time you kill one and literaly everyone from the whole facility agrro you
