Seriously fix this now

[Merlos The Mad]

The EVAC pelican wont land if there's too many bugs beneath it, and I cant get the bugs to leave the landing pad, and I have no ammo. So what? Eff me then?

Please fix it's too much to play 50 minutes and then get c***ed by bad game design like this.

You dont lose if you fail to extract

[Plagen]

It sounds like you need to git gud. Of course it won't land if there are DEADLY ENEMIES UNDER IT. Here's the logic behind it: The pelican lands with a bunch of bugs around it. Bugs destroy pelican. There you go.

[Anzariel]

evacuate area, resupply when available, use cooldowns to clear extraction once ammo is refilled.

it's okay. it's meant to be a challenge sometimes, but you got this.

[Mesond]

Have you tried landing on top of a charger on the landing pad?

It lands eventually. Just keep fighting and running around like a headless chicken. Charger has to charge at some point.

It makes every immersive sense to not land right on top of large aliens. Frankly I'm just surprised the pelican isn't attacked and destroyed when it lands.

Be more efficient with your strategy. This is a you problem sir. Use less ammo, or appropriate strategems for the mission.

The Pelican has a disturbingly strong turret on the front end. Kite the bugs out in front of the ship, have him clear the swarm out a bit and maybe drop a stratagem or two to help, and then go back around.

Also unironically sounds like you need better ammo management. You already get infinite resupplies on top of infinite stratagems (that aren't the orbital laser).
Even if you run out of ammo while solo and the resupply is on cooldown and you don't have time to wait 2 minutes, literally just die and respawn. You'll come back with fresh mags, grenades, and stims.

If, despite all of the tools you get, you manage to run out of reinforce beacons solo, might be time to turn the difficulty down and/or re-evaluate your strategy and weapon/stratagem choices.

So wait the minute or so for a resupply to recharge and drop more ammo. Or throw a stratagem at them. There is no scenario in this game that leaves you without ammo or the means to kill enemies permanently. Lack of planning on extractions and stratagem timers does not equate to an issue in game design in need of fixing.

womp womp

[Corgi Knight]

Anyone else having issues leaving as soon as it lands? Or upside down? Lmfao like wtf

[KtsLuke47]

The EVAC pelican will happily land on you though. LOL

First off, sometimes it does land, so it feels like a bug. And second, if youre out of time and in the hardest difficulty solo, its not about getting gud, you cant solo the 4 titans and the 100 other bugs guarding them, if you have completed the max difficulty mission i think you should get a chance to extract

If you run out of time you get no stratagems, and if youre at a higher difficulty there are multiple titans camping the extract spot, i cant really kill them unless ive got a railgun on me, and even then theres multiple of them and i dont have ammo for the whole horde under them
