Special Missions

[Rizilliant]

Are these tuned higher? Holy crap! I cant take a single hit from almost anything! The exploders even seem to have a much larger radius.. Playign the Librarian, Ive also noticed I cant use some skills in confined spaces.. Is it because I dont have anything unlocked yet that Im so fragile? I cant even make it out of the starting room half the time without burning through several medkits

When you enter the special mission or before you can hit esc and set the difficulty according from easy/normal/hard/no mercy

Edit #1
Stealth Strain Genestealers are critical hit if they hit you while invicible.
Psykers are critical hit across the board
Heavy Stubbers can rekt you real fast if your close to them
Missile launchers have a 50% of being critical

Librarian isn't the go to class as it's out performed by everyone else, But it's still a fun class none the less, When you unlock upgrades it won't make you more tankier, It will just add to your range, Except the armor upgrade but that's really only worth it on assault.

If you play with Codex Rules turned off, your abilities will have to be unlocked by levelling up (separate levelling system to your overall level out-of-mission). Codex Rules turned on will give you all abilities upon starting the mission.

The Librarian has its place in the team in being able to one-shot any turret and lesser hybrid from long range using its lightning bolts. When facing multiple Tyranids closing in en mass you can push them back or incinerate them all with a giant fireball at close range.

In terms of weaponry, it isn’t the best out of all the classes as its main advantages are its abilities. Alone, it wouldn’t last very long but in a group it can give everyone breathing space by holding back the swarms and shorting out the turrets and lesser hybrids.

I didnt see where I could make any settings adjustments.. I ended up going to Apothecary, giving one termi the Hammer, and the other a plasma canon, just so I could suvive for a bit.. I actually got to complete one, and get all the relics.. But I still havent seen where I can change difficulty.. Honestly, I just wanted to get some upgrades, but wow is that slow! Think Im only rank 3 now.. Atleast it still gives me exp on failed, missions, lol

I just started with portal #1 assuming they got progressively harder.

I do have all 3 abilities for each character, I did notice that.. And yea, with the Librarian I just went for the Axe, and spammed abilities as much as possible.. I find the lightning strike to be very hit/miss.. Sometimes it seems to completely go off whereverf it wants, and hit absolutely nothing.. The inferno is pretty nice though.. I miss some o fthe campaign abilities though, they were badass!

I guess I was just wondering if were are fully buffed up for the campaign, and the perks are completely removed for these missions, which is why it felt even weaker (as if the armor didnt already feel weak enough during the campaign).. That would make sense, but then I would go nuts trying to decide wwhich single perk I wanted

I just tried again, and I cant find how to set ANY of the settings you mentioned in the special mission.. the only way I could change difficulty, was to start a new campaign.. And there is nothing about Codex Rules on/off unless I host a multiplayer match.. What Am I doing wrong? Was I supposed to have all 10 warp gates open, and all weapons unlocked in the special missions from the start? Because i do

Edit: I managed to find how to set difficulty (strange that you have to pause once IN the game map, and change from options), but still no way to see Codex Rules on/off.. Is this perhaps multiplayer only? Or because Im finished the campaign?

Codex rules is a multiplayer feature only unfortunately.

Ah, that explains it.. Thank you very much

Is there a particular reason that you swear off multiplayer?
Just curious.

Sword and board is better :D ..assault has a few uses, but ranged guys are its bane. But, the deep strike can be useful if surrounded - to warp out (assuming there's a guy nearby)..still haven't gotten it to work too right yet.

Or..apoth. Self heals. The one that can heal usually wins. Hellfire has range, can take out turrets decently enough, and kill most (except broodlords) decently enough.

Depends on the difficulty mainly! But Leveling up and upgrading your classes is so CRUCIAL! Makes the world of difference. Especially with the right class build!

I have also heard GREAT things about the Mace of absolution. AOE hits clears out mobs like no other. But A fully upgraded Powersword looks Unstoppable.

Relying on others is often a pain, plus I have 3 children running around the house, so I pause alot..actually dont mind it when theres not some guy who likes to run ahead, or run of entirely, but playing with complete strangers in pugs, isnt really the best way to coop.

So to be clear, I would enjoy it, if I knew enough people to play

Seems to be plenty of players out there, I havent came across any people who do that stuff. All the new players listen when we explain to them how to traverse the environment together and how to manage doors etc..

[Rizilliant]

I wasnt referrign to this game specifically (I havent even tried).. this is just my experience over the years. (that bad ones always stick out more than the good).. Ive just always been a singgle player person (evidenced by my library of single player only games almost exclusively, lol)

That said, I do want to give it a try., its does look so much more fun

[Sgt Snoke Em]

I usually host a lobby I call the "Emperor's Drop Bears" Aussie thing lol.
But I must warn those whom enter..... Australian host here. Just saying for ping.

[Rizilliant]

Im omw to work now, Ill give it a try after work.. I guess thatll be about 8hrs from now
