Hey Ellory! Yes it is. I'm pretty sure everything is soloable, the exception for me was the Evacuation mission (which they removed). Not because I think it was impossible, I just didn't have the skill to pull it off. For now it all seems doable though! Thank you so much! 😁🙌
I just found you and instantly subbed right after finishing this video. The way you speak is very calming and your random drops of guidance are really nice food for thought. While also being a beast at this game is a monster combo I don’t see much on RUclips at all nowadays, 100% an underrated gem. Don’t know if you’re just finding random stuff from the internet and reading off from there or if you are speaking from your own heart (probably a mix of both), but either way it’s still just as nice with you presenting it with the way that you are, while also entertaining with badass gameplay. Gonna enjoy binging the rest of your vids. Wishing you good things only!
Thank you so much for the elaborate reply @XxMaxIsWellXx . And ofcourse thank you for the sub as well. I'm glad you enjoy my voice, style and content. And also thank you for the gameplay compliment ofcourse! Very kind compliments that are great moral support. I am grateful you took the time to write it down. It's a combination of my life experience as an ICU-nurse, expert opinions (co-workers in different medical fields), literature study (books, research articles), media (TED-talks, podcasts, etc) and my interpretation of all of the aforementioned. I hope to give away as much positivity and wisdom as I possibly can. Thank you for your support again, enjoy the binge! 🫡🙌
You make it look so easy! In my personal experience with this mission type, my squadmates and I have usually gotten overwhelmed and overrun about halfway through. Your gameplay here is a good example of how good strategy (the loadout itself, the general ideas of "working around your turrets" and avoiding bot drops) and good tactics (setting up good angles, prioritizing light infantry, quickly taking out targets like rocket tanks) can make a mission like this flow really smoothly. I feel a lot more prepared to take on this mission type in the future, so thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much Cube! I hope the next Defense Missions go more smoothly for you. I do genuinely believe that being well prepared is half the battle! You're welcome sir 🫡
What a lovely compliment, thank you so much @Blitz-144 ! Glad you're still enjoying them, and ofcourse thank you for taking the time to let me know as well. Very much appreciated. 🫡
I have a lot of trouble with placing but I’m glad to know that when placed well you it’s great. Great video can’t wait to apply the knowledge to my next dive.
I'm sure they'll fix the placements being buggy (bouncing and such) in time. Definitely an amazing stratagem when well positioned! Enjoy Yearn, thank you for commenting again 🫡🙌
Ive heard other large, analytical streamers and creators discuss/confirm/ support that closing holes and fabs reduces enemy patrol spawn rates. Eravin has mentioned it a few times. There is a countervailing dynamic in team games.
Some experimentation was done a few updates ago that found patrol spawn rates increased after destroying more than half the fabricators on the map. edit: to clarify, I'm talking about outposts/nests, not individual fabs or bugholes. To quote /u/gergination: Destroying ALL outposts on the map results in the Threshold being multiplied by 0.85. This means patrols spawn ~17.5% faster. Using our Baseline of 240 seconds per patrol, it would become 204 seconds. You can safely destroy 50% of the Outposts with no impact. The type (Light, Medium, Heavy) of Outpost does not matter. Once you cross 50%, the strength of the impact scales in a linear fashion. This Threshold reduction persist for the remainder of the mission For example, if you spawn into a map with 8 Outposts, you can safely destroy 4 of these with no consequences. When you destroy the 5th outpost, the strength of the Threshold reduction is at 25% or ~4% faster patrols. When you destroy the 6th Outpost, it goes up to 50% strength or ~8% faster patrols.
That's really interesting! Thank you for that input, we'll let some more time pass to see what the community finds in terms of patrol spawns. Good to know it might be more than a feeling. We'll see what the conclusion ends up being. Thank you for taking the time to comment @unclenchasbestos 🫡
Hey man, I love your videos and the random fun facts/life tips, but please put the text for that stuff at the top or bottom of the screen, not dead center where all the action is happening! It makes it hard for me to see what's happening, where/what you're shooting at etc. Anyways, Have a good one!
Last time I tried a defense mission against bugs impalers destroyed all our sentries, and then we got overwhelmed because we had nothing else. Maybe I'll try that spot next time. Can't say that I often feel like I lie to people for their sake. I won't definitively say it has never happend, but I'm fairly confident I have done, and do, the vast majority of my lying to prevent situations/conversations I'd rather not have and/or to make myself look better. This has definitely majorly come to bite me multiple times. So I do make a conscious effort to reduce the amount I lie as much as possible. Also because I believe that being honest the majority of the time will make my lies more believable when I do feel the need. This might have something to do with the fact I don't necessarily agree with your next point. "If someone you look up to asks you for help and they say they don't know how to do it. Does that make you like them more or less?" For me it would honestly depend on what it is they are asking help with and why I look up to them. If they ask for help with something I believe(d) they should have known/been able to do themselves it is definitely possible that will lower my opinion of them. So I might just be more judgemental, and apply that same standard to how I think others perceive me. Congruency is indeed a fun one. And with fun I mean that I agree that it's extremely hard (if I understand it correctly). Lying to myself is extremely easy and hard to fix. With that being said, your specific examle doesn't bother me. I have long since concluded that I am an objectively selfish person, just like I believe the vast majority of people are. Any charity I might do is for the sake of making me feel better about myself rather than genuinely wanting to help others. With that being said, I also don't believe that humans have some sort of intrinsic right to not be hungry. It is merely a rule made up by our society. I suspect with the purpose of promoting order and/or making us feel good about ourselves. Anyway, good video. I appreciate the colour coding of blue game advice and green... life advice?
The Impalers are very high priority targets, you can also consider swapping the Autocannon or Rocket Sentry for Mortar Sentry instead. Or just focus your Commando / Spear shots on it a.s.a.p. Honesty is a fun topic to think about in a repetitive reflective. The way we handle it changes with the years, and also with the type of events that happen in our life ofcourse. The fact you're concious of your behaviour is awesome really. I like that you disagree with me on this metaphor, I'm curious if you will maintain this point of view or wether this will change in time. Definitely let me know if you ever decide you've changed your mind haha! I will be the last to say I believe this is how it is, this is simply an opinion (as is almost everything you'll hear anywhere). Perhaps the fun aspect is contemplating the idea that we can be both. That we're not selfish or altruistic, but rather we're on a scale. On which the extreme ends are pure selfishness or pure altruism. Food for thought ofcourse. Thank you for the elaborate comment and the compliment, and yes that is indeed the color coding haha. Green is not always life advice, I lob medical fun facts and stories in there as well. Trying to handle it thematically mostly for now! 🫡 TL;DR Thank you for taking the time to comment. Glad you found some value in the video!
So what you brought here for strats is essentially what I bring for every mission. Swapping out HMGE for Machine Gun Sentry sometimes for spammability. Also, does the Localization Confusion actually do anything in Defense missions? I thought it only decreased Patrol spawn rate...
Nice! I'm not a big dakka fan but it's hard to argue that the HMG is a fantastic weapon. Good choices! It's my favorite for Defense Missions. It's a fail-safe, just in case they do end up dropshipping me. Perhaps the better question would be, what else would you bring? Open to suggestions for sure ofcourse! 🫡 Thank you for commenting @jalontf2

Also difficulty is less with 1 person regardless if you pick super helldive it only scales the more divers you have its more like your doing level 5 not hating just saying the true test would be to have 3 others dive in with you and stand there and do nothing like absolutely nothing while you fight a 4 scale level 10 a real super helldive
