My party and I had the hardest time yesterday clearing that mission with all the giant spiders in a cave. Those spiders fire their webs across large areas, long distances, which partially clip through walls and are generally very hard to avoid and hurt a lot.
The one with the queen bees on hardest (or was it Inferno?) was a pain too. They're veritable bullet sponges with 1M+ HP.
A few musings about Ranger weapons:
- Stingers are overall the best rocket launchers. Great range, great rocket speed, good damage and reload times, no gimmicks. Higher lvl Stingers are usually straight upgrades, which is more than can be said for most other weapons. Upgrades always seem to come with a trade-off or a quirk, but Stingers don't suffer from that problem. The Volcano B1 is pretty good too. Fires 10 powerful rockets in 2 seconds.
- Grenade launchers with bouncy grenades are a bad idea in cave-type missions. I keep killing my teammates and myself even when they're standing behind me.
- Snipers and shotguns get really good at higher levels. High level sparrow shotguns are basically shotgun-machineguns. They're great.
Overall I find myself playing mostly with rocket launchers, sniper rifles, shotguns and maybe machineguns every once in a while. Grenades, grenade launchers and special/healing guns are boring.
I have a soft spot for Air Tortoises though.
Anyone wanna play in EU tonight? What's the GAF Discord?
