I tried it as a Mac and got to the final room about 3 times in Op1, and either the Grenadiers slowed me down with the ultra stopping power or the mulcher scion melted me cause I missed the guy by a nanometer. I knew if I tried enough I could do it solo but I couldn’t be bothered. I could do it on solo now they adjusted the Ironman mutator, but I havent got round to it yet.

Ahh, the duplicate nade glitch, that was in the game for a while. I personally want the Team Revive glitch from the beginning of Gears 4 back, that was fun and silly whilst that lasted. The amount of glitches that have happened in the PvE modes in this game, yikes, those were dark days.

Since the update yesterday, the mobile site has a few issues, like sometimes I press the tab in the top right and it just goes to the bottom the page, sometimes it works as intended(with the latest and new and unread threads, etc.).

It does the same with the notifications of likes and replies as well.

I’m putting my feedback here because, well, I dont really know where else to put it :joy:

But where is its hut?

It probably squeezed in through the few mm wide gaps in the well, whatever the word is for that thing on the (presumed) roof. They really seem to like finding narrow gaps that are smaller than their body to get in or out of places…

#2114

Typo! There is a hole behind the tv for wires to go into the wall. It’s only small but big enough for them.

#2115

Like I said, it’s like spiders have the magic touch for finding small holes they shouldn’t be able to fit through but do. It’s like for me where I have a cover on the part of the window that’s supposed to be keeping insects and other wildlife out but the occasional spider or insect still finds its way inside. They never find their way out though, which is stupid. A bee is still stuck in there because I didn’t realize one was trying to get out of my bedroom - putting aside that I’ve no idea how it got there in the first place - so it died there and I haven’t removed the body hanging on the cover yet.

Also, solo mastering Gauntlet turned out to be a ■■■■■ and a half with Anchor. I could’ve tried other classes but I felt like Anchor was best for killing the Bastion in the first encounter while remaining fairly decent throughout all of the hive as well. But I spent way too much time starting over due to annoying spawn patterns or not getting any explosives to deal with the Warden, or running out of ammo for the Boltok and Longshot towards the end of the hive while having venom behind me and having run out of barrier duration to go and push the enemies safely. Successful attempt was one where I for once didn’t have Salvo Scions in every encounter but still got the explosives I needed to kill the Warden more easily and had more than enough ammo to clear out the final encounter before the exit more easily without having to use my barrier too early that I wouldn’t have it last throughout the whole fight(and in retrospect I should’ve just used Barrier Feedback instead of the super wide one).

Kait. Unless you get really unfortunate Scions in the first room it’s gg ez once you killed the 1st.

#2117

Maybe but I most frequently got Salvo Scions and Mulchers in the various attempts. The only thing I didn’t see much of were the Stumps and Ice Scions.

And in my own stupidity or masochism(pick one) I was going to use one of the original Scorpio classes for the Op 1 hives, except Venom Run and, if it turns out to be too much of a pain, Surge. Although with some hives it would probably still be really trivial with those classes anyway.

Have you considered Keegan? When you have all the ammo for yourself HB+Disciplined should melt Scions.

#2119

I didn’t but I’ve seen enough of Gauntlet for the rest of the week now and I’ve beaten it. Though it would probably have helped, I do question the durability of the class especially facing the Stump or Mulcher Scion while having to get rid of Bastions, particularly if I don’t have Resupply ready. Seeing as it was a solo run my concern wasn’t just pure damage output but also defensive capabilities/durability which Anchor’s barrier provided except for Dropshots or when Salvos were stupid and still killed me while the ult was running. (And my Disciplined isn’t exactly highly leveled.)

Lv4 is fine, I didn’t notice much of a difference between Lv4 and 6.

#2121

Are you excited for when you inevitably do Ice Queen Mr. Wall?

#2122

Mine’s probably still level 2, but I am sitting on a 100k coin stockpile again after I threw a bunch at Gunner and Nomad when their relevant skills were high enough level, so it wouldn’t kill me to spend some, probably.

I dread Forever(unless I get a super easy spawn set), Onslaught, The End, Split and Surge more. I know how I can handle Ice Queen more or less, as long as my Longshot aim is on point and none of the enemies pull any dodgy stuff(especially since you can stealth headshot a bunch of the enemies in the first encoubter right outside the saferoom with Longshot headshots now). Fairly likely I will be using Blademaster for that one, too. The only issue being I have to choose between where I keep and use the Relic Dropshot over a Breaker Mace because I definitely need the Longshot(unless I want to get pissed by the snipers a lot and generally make my life a lot harder) and I ain’t killing Wardens and the Matriarch in act 2 properly without the Mace when I’m not playing a ranged damage class.

Most other hives probably shouldn’t be too complicated to go and get done. Was going to run them in chronological release order anyway.

#2123

Mac and hope for Leeches near the first supply-rooms @NoLmtSoldier carried me when I was playing Cole on Forever.

Clay and use the Ult as an emergency button. And you could always fall back into the venom and use a turret there as long as you manage your Ult carefully to regain health.
Frag-spawn is a lot easier imo.

Cole, tackle away and bring a few flashes for the first 3 Scions and hope they don’t pull any nonsense on you. Could use the Ult to get rid of them quickly since you don’t really need it anymore at that point.

#2124

Anchor was pretty great for Forever when we got Flocks, especially that one time when we had 5 Flocks in a single run. :joy:

Your Brawler was pretty much necessary for those 3x damage Juvie spawns.

#2125

Well great, that was exactly the class I planned on taking for that hive. Might as well not nother if I get Juvie spawns, not that I remember what spawn pattern they come with because of them being messed up.

#2126

An Ice Scion at the beginning means Juvies in Act 1.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think a Salvo Scion in one of the enemy sets at the beginning of Act 2 means Juvies as well.

This knowledge hinges on if those particular Scion spawns actually appear though. :grin:
