Guide to solo no death level 9 missions.

[antique_nova]

I don't use railguns. (I rarely use them if ever, but I do like them)

I don't use breaker for every game. (No, it isn't the best primary weapon every game.)

I don't take shields every game. (Because it's not optimal)

I don't use liberator. (R-63 Diligence is a million times better)

I would like to use 500kg (Once they fix it, it's 14x less powerful compared to real life, but if they buffed the AOE by at least 3-4, then I'll use it over the railgun any day and every day)

This isn't the only way to play the game.

Do whatever you want. Just try not to die a lot. Lol.

I experimented a ♥♥♥♥ ton and found what works best for me.

You want to bring something different to what I have on my missions?

Feel free. Sometimes I like to ♥♥♥♥ around too and we still win easily. Lol.

(Full map clear. All objectives and bot factories cleared)

To every idiot who says "kick anyone who doesn't spam shield and railgun every game"

Eat my democracy, because you don't know ♥♥♥♥. So shut up and get gud.

Bro, great freakin' run on them robots.

I actually did not know you can play HD2 this way, that's amazing lol

Thanks. Well now you do.

Also, I only completed the bot run for a small air control tower.

I'll have the footage of me clearing the larger air control tower very soon.

Plus, I'll have a proper full map clear for bugs.

Great run, maybe I should give the dilligence another chance, haven't used since I unlocked the other guns.

Have you tried the scorcher vs bots?

PS: It it just the suit's stealth bonus at work here, or is the dilligence sort of a silent weapon? At least, it doesn't seem to draw too much attention when you fire it imediatelly alerting the entire base.

I haven't, but the scorcher doesn't work so well with how I use my primary.

Consider my build for the run. The scorcher is trying to compete with the autocannon and fails badly. The diligence allows me to snipe the smaller guys to soften up objective targets without causing too much noise compared to the autocannon.

The stealth suit has a nice stealth bonus and maybe the gun too? You also got to consider the range at which I like to shoot the bots. I try to shoot them from as far away as possible so I have the lowest change of aggroing them and causing them to call for a drop ship.

The scorcher can't do this and generally speaking you want to fight the bots at ranged. You want to avoid close quarters shooting with them, because if an elite is nearby you wanna run so you don't get insta BBQ'd or eat a missile to the face etc.

Kinda bumpy, but yeah, it makes sense, you made me realize not all weapons I thought were trash, were in fact,trash.

Sometimes it's my gameplay that's trash.
