  • it's another tale of hardships and how a group of dwarves came to overcome them. everyone's favorite deep rock galactic enemy type versus four very competent and certainly human players-who will win?
    if i ever see another mactera i will go absolutely mental.

      Instead of rezing people you could throw the shield before they die when a big group of mactera show up.
      Also why would they do nothing and die again? Theres nothing stopping the rezzed players from contributing to the fight unless theyre out of ammo i guess. Speaking of which, gunner's giant ammo pool would probably be pretty useful here

    @Skybrok527 Před rokem +7

    Well since you are playing Scout in this video, I would give a scout specific suggestion of bringing the crossbow with pheromone bolts next time you go into mactera plague. One to two bolts into the mactera swarm will do wonders to buy you and your team enough time to wipe the mactera relatively safely. While it might be a bit riskier (you still have to dodge until the other mactera start aggroing on the ones hit by pheromones) than compared to something like the cryo grenades which kills mactera instantly, you get to hold a lot more bolts with the right mods and it can last you a lot more encounters both when you are with your team and when you are alone.

    The major mistakes i see are 1) not using your heavy attack to clear enemies and preserve ammo and 2) not killing enemies after you boomeranged them. the boomerang is top tier on mactera plague if used right. even if you only stun half the group, that's only half the projectiles you need to dodge, and the stun lasts for 8.5 seconds, quite a long time.

    Engi: PGL, breach cutter (can inflict stun), and plasma burster grenades.
    Driller: Snowball and C4
    Gunner: Neurotoxin Thunderhead with Suppressive fire.
