The Great Sea and the difficulty spike (absolutely bs)

[The Warden]

Just for today, ♥♥♥♥ barotrauma. Got a new sub, organized everything, and then we get swarmed by a moloch, three hammerheads, a hammerhead matriarch, and a tiger thresher squadron. Then they push us onto a lightning rock thing and make it impossible to fix the ballast tanks.

What the ♥♥♥♥ is this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? ♥♥♥♥ this stupid ass game

Until tomorrow when I play again cause I like barotrauma

Im always meet 4 hammerheads (1-2 golden) literally at the end of the route and at same place over and over again. And its hard one to kill them all without sinking xDD. So => lost a lot of time without docking...

in this version you need play smart and slow at great sea, also keep your ship at Tier 2 because Tier 3 ship are all bulky , slow and bot usually act stupid because broken waypoint. i stay on Herja because it has niche gun angle to clear a cave and from now on, you must sweep all sodium,phosporus related item , uex, c-4, ic-4 (if dont have nuke engineer talent) to make explosive ammo. save me a lot

Any upgraded sub can make it, provided they are sufficiently armed with armor piercing effects.

Piezo crystals have existed in the game since late 2020. They can be destroyed by any weapons, though they will also explode for lethal damage in 10 m radius.

Don't buy a new sub and think the sub is ready for combat right away. I mean unless you had an extra 12/17k+ marks after the Sub's sticker price AND invested that in upgrades for the sub, it isn't up to snuff for the given area. Stick to simpler missions if the sub isn't what I said before.

You fought a Moloch, Matriarch and Thresher squad, you should of either piloted a better approach or your sub is UP for those missions you picked.

One of the things that are crucial is using appropriate ammo for the enemy. If you try to kill moloch with normal coilgun ammo you are going to have a bad time. Piercing ammo is a must in later biomes for general combat and getting more specialized ammo can only help.

Shh, don't let the newbies know how busted OP beacons are.
