What's Up Gears - Operation 5: Hollow Storm - PvE Overview

I wonder if this will work:

Run up behind Matriarch > Active Gnasher in the back to start bleed > Cloak > Immediately fire another Gnasher out of cloak for 10x active damage + any bleed and extra Gnasher damage card effects in play?

A pity the first shot out of cloak doesn’t contribute towards the ultimate recharge. With 10x damage you could probably cloak uncloak recloak ad finitum!

10x bleed damage, assuming that damage multiplier works for it(not putting it beyond TC for it not to) from the 160% Blood Resonance bonus will probably recharge cloak to at least half if you hit a boss to sponge that much damage anyway.

Totally agree mine was at 80% and it takes a full burst 100 rounds ish to down a grenadier on master even in the early rounds. After you told me about the perk to damage that really only maintains that damage as they get more health in later rounds.

I think it takes 2 and a bit full bursts to kill a pounder at 80%. I enjoy using Clay a lot but his ult rarely works against flying units and right now he didn’t need that nerf. I might as well dump the mulcher card and switch to salvo and tri load out.

Currently run

Reflect shredder
Concussive explosives
Mulcher
Heavy capacity
Heavy charger

I was likely swap it for heavy shell when they fix it.

Well Hulk I agree with you completely.

Cheers!

I too like Clay, I have slightly different cards…

Reflect Shredder I find largely useless since, as you said, flyers stop shooting at Clay, it is extremely hard (not impossible) to get them to do it, it’s not worth it for me… and I find that I can recharge his ultimate with the regular mulcher, I don’t need the charger card…

I use mulcher damage, heavy capacity, cryo, torquebow bleed, and explosive stun.

I find the 200% cryo highly effective, especially with 215% ammo, so I live the first 10 waves on basically dropped heavy weapons, especially the cryos… There are LOTs of those, usually… and if we get robots, then salvos on 4…

I find that an active torque head shot, with my level 4 bleed and max damage perk does about 18,000 damage (including the bleed), so I find that is a good weapon against scions and DRs, until I get my mulcher and salvos (I typically use a single quad locker, with 2 salvos, 2 mulchers, and a cryo). With 2 mulchers I don’t need to worry about the chaingun ammo regen, I can upgrade the ultimate duration which I find to be much more help to the team in the early 10-15 waves (I can freeze dangerous enemies without getting downed)…

But the nice thing is, there are many ways of play with Clayton, so there is no right/wrong way, just whatever everyone prefers…

Are the new 5 maps available in Horde?

Yeah always

When exactly do new Operations go live? Midnight? 8AM? 10AM? Noon? Getting kinda anxious for it.

You can download at 4:00 PT
And you can play at 6:00 PT

So did they name this hollow storm because of the Hollow or because of the lack of content?

I actually heard this from a Youtuber and thought it was great.

Hopefully the update is good. Only 6 hours to go.

Cheers!

6 hours? I thought 6 AM PT is 3 PM CET which is in ~4h39 minutes, with the update being out a few hours prior. But whatever “content” TC is referring to with when they say it releases later, that’s another few hours out after that.

Aka it’s a confusing mess until it is all out.

Ah just did my last Overload speedrun for old times sake. RIP Marcus. The marcus in game was a complete **** to. Sat on the thin bit of cover so no one else could use his ULT and couldn’t even be bothered to move 3 feet to the tap each wave end which was right by his locker. But of course he was fully perked up why should he bother anymore!

For a second there I thought you were talking to yourself and had gone mad.

But then I thought better and figured “he probably talks to himself because he wants to talk to an expert once in a while!”

And then I realised it was a totally different person.

agreed if you go by these forums is the best mode ever but in reality vast majority of players do not post in here out of my core group of 6 friends who play no one but me post here and none of us ever go into escape we tried it and it was horrendous but we don’t go around telling people what to like so we just don’t mention escape ever

Well dang,

That was the best thing I’ve seen this morning. Haha.

You still good to get up for the drop today?
