automaton missions 3 stratagem lock

[GoodComrade]

is it a bug? why cant I select more than 3?
EDIT
Wanna make something clear. I dont have issue with this or any other design choices. I am still rocking diff 9 missions. I only find it annoying to be locked to 3 stratagems cuz it feels less cool.

Its an operation modifier.

Welcome to high difficulty modifiers. Hope you like having gimped stratagems!

And I was wondering how so many people find this game so hard while the problem starts with reading 2 lines of text.

Actually been playing on level 9 difficulty more than a month now and never going below, only doing difficulty 9. I am not having issues and doing fine its just sometimes during mission selections I found it weird to be able to only select 3 or 4 stratagems.

Is it written during the prep screen? lol I am blind then cuz I have never seen it.

Conditions are trash the way they're implemented. They should be optional and provide greater rewards

You do realise the end game is played on easy. Months of level 9 should have gotten you enough of everything for the next few months of upgrades.

Your comment is irrelevant and makes no sense lol

Devs: we designed main weapons to suck on purpose so you have to use stratagems more effectively as your force equalizer.
Players: OK cool, so we get to use them as much as we want?
Devs: Of course. Except when there's an ion storm and you can't, and then there will be instances where we think they are so good you only get limited uses per mission.
Players: Umm, but you told us you wanted stratagems to be our hammer. You're limiting our ability to mount a worthwhile assault.
Devs: Well, I'm going to limit you further by taking away another stratagem slot. Enjoy three.
Players: But that's not what the deal was...we..
Devs: I have altered the deal, pray I don't alter it any further.

Fun in video games is when cool stuff gets taken away so you don't have too much fun.

Honestly I really hate any operation modifier that messes with stratagems, especially when they combo multiple ones. 50% increased cooldown, 100% increased call in time and Ion storm, good luck trying to do anything.

all While, having the devs gaslight you about how important stratagems are and why they refuse to buff primary weapons.

[gothicpando]

because its the devs "VISION"!!!!!! and if you dare say anything critical you are an evil chud or somethin...idk

Being important does not mean you should have unrestricted and unlimited use of them.

It's a design choice yes.
Defend it or not. Agree or not. It does not matter. It is what it is.
