Too many enemies for me on level 4

[Ratboi]

Ok i like to play solo level 4 because its its the easiest with still some secondary objectives that are neat, but there are so many patrols on the map at once i literally do not have the ammunition to kill them all, plus i have to do this while having to dodge chargers or missiles the entire time. I think level 3 is too easy but level 4 just dumps enemies on you nonstop with patrols, even tho objectives and loot areas already have more dudes. Solo its hard to wipe out a whole patrol before another arrives or you walk into one because often enemies are stuck around rocks or corners.

Then... don't fight the patrols

We learned this with the bots. You don't have to shoot every enemy you see. The Scout Armor exists for the playstyle of avoiding combat

Wahh wahh wahh.mp4
It's literally difficulty 4/9, are you serious?

Medium/Challenging/anything above that basically evolves into a stealth game lol.

So you're maybe starting to encounter how the game actually works at that point: you're not supposed to pick every possible fight.

You have objectives. Except for one mission, killing regular enemies is entirely incidental to your objectives. Fighting patrols you don't need to fight is hurting yourself.

(Or you can keep playing bottom difficulties and killing everything if that makes you happy, but if you want to progress you need to change your approach.)

You get nothing for killing enemies outside fulfilling daily orders.

Avoid at all costs.

Use gatling turrets, mortars, supply packs if you need more sustain.

Arc cannon works too. Laser cannon isn't bad against bugs either.

Also this game isn't really designed with solo in mind, play with others, trust me it will be okay!

4 is fine as is. I solo 4 all the time.

They go where you were located when they spawned in. You have to keep watch of your radar and keep moving.

Take orbital airburst, use your stratagems to take them out. If you're running into patrols faster than the orbital airburst is coming off cooldown avoid them

There are also guys on youtube soloing helldives without sneaking. Skill and experience are a must obviously.

Nah there's too many enemies on level 4. Can't do it.

I would say git gud and practice but it seems like you have enough experience at this game.

Think of yourself as a gurilla soldier, your job isn't to overwhelm the enemy in a gun fight, it's to try and do hit and run tactics to try win the objectives before you get overwhelmed by the enemy's numbers.

This is not a solo game. Cry some more.
