Ok... I hate mactera now.

How to fight groups of enemies that stay still only when they are about to shoot resulting in focusing one = melted by the rest.

I'm thinking epc is the key but the game unbought flying nightmare -_- and I has no money. But if it's the only option I'm all for it.

Subata + Mactera poison.

Or since it seems you're Driller, drill into a wall and wait for them to fly down to the entrance then blast them.

was running into elite dive as scout then sees mactera plague and aborts after dodging too much. (no time to snipe) I've done the tunneling tactic before and it works wonders with sticky flames. Also neurotoxin grenade melts an army

[Jex]

did normal dive as driller, was hard cause i suck. but you lose out on an overclock if you don't do it...

The regular Deep Dive is pretty easy with a team, even rando's.

Were you doing it solo?

yah...

[Chibbity]

I mean that's fine and all, but you should give rando's a try; it's much easier and no one really talks much so it's not like a big "social to do" if you know what I mean.

i just struggled in haz "3.5" so going from that to 4 was only a pain cause of the modifier. Just wish scout could solo. full team of scouts isn't terrible. no idea how i should build him but he's my most comfortable

[Chibbity]

@Syncourt is a pretty infamous solo Haz5 no Bosco player, and he runs a weird sawed off shotty incendiary rounds build when he's Scout where he kites the swarms and sets them on fire. You could try that? It's pretty fun actually.

I got through elite deep dive mission one by the skin of my teeth on solo. Second mission rolls in and I abort, checked the hazard level and was surprised to find it was 5. Gunner too, couldn't hit any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Swarmers with the Bulldog, so I just ran around til Bosco killed them.

didn't pay attention to haz levels so maybe it was 4... (normal)

Hazard level 4 isn't really too hard solo. 5 is where it gets ridiculous. I reckon they should drop elite dives to hazard 4 because 5 is just... too much for 3 missions in a row.

[Chibbity]

I think it starts at 4, then goes to 4.5 then 5?

Haz5 is still pretty casual for a good team, and elite deep dives are supposed to be the pinnacle of challenge.

Doubt it, in mission 1 the mactera kept 2 shotting me. Hazard 5 is listed as 3x damage. But I could be wrong.

@chibbity
My build was same except firate instead of reload
