I’ve been playing a few nights a week with a couple of friends. We’ve got good synergy now. Currently I’m playing engineer and my buddies are scout and driller. We come into an area, the scout lights it up and I throw platforms under all the mineral deposits and other things up high on the walls. The scout zips up to them to mine. The driller get any low lying deposits and cuts staircases and other paths for mobility. While they re doing all that I put the guns up and watch their backs.
I finally did my promotion assignment the other night and it’s on to deep dives now.
I’ve got a pretty good setup for dealing with Detonators. I have the engineer’s plasma cutter weapon upgraded with long range and a wide triple beam. As long as I aim in the thing’s general direction it’s almost guaranteed to take out one or more of the Detonator’s glowy bits.
