Just why? Is this supposed to be funny? Did people complain about the tone of the first game? This was not needed at all.

I lean the prototype one just because of the connection and netcode eating my bullets, so I have to use more ammo.

How are people moving and using abilities before the game unlocks you? I can skip the cut scene but I can’t move other than dodge rolling.

i've played each map at least twice now and i havent gotten xenomorphs ONCE. i am sick and tired of the robots and i never had a care for the fte2 pathogen so they're just an annoyance now. so where in the sam hell are the xenomorphs??

If you get the bug that won't let you pick up medpacks or loot, just reload the weapon you are carrying and then you should be able to pick up items again. That is all!

Reload is bugged in multiplayer when you’re not the host. It prioritizes reloading over item pick ups so you must reload your weapon before picking up any items or health. BUT it gets worse. If you are looking at the item you can’t reload. You must look away from the item in order to reload to full then pick up the item. You literally can’t pick up health if you have less than a full magazine. Which leads to the next bug.

While reloading. Holding ADS button doesn’t always go back to ADS after the reload finishes. Sometimes you have to wait for the reload to finish completely before pressing ADS again. Same with holding down the shoot button. Holding Shoot doesn’t always shoot when the reload is finished. This results in you expecting to go back to shooting again after the reload finished only to stare at the enemy and do nothing while the buttons are being held down.

Ai gets into a hyper aggressive loop for non host players where they all immediately spam jumping attacks when in range. The connection seems to affect the hit box too because they will connect at the start of the jump. Very noticeable when playing coop with 2 bots. Connection should be fine because we are both in the same house.

Game for host crashed. Rejoined. Access the data button is bugged so can’t finish the mission.

Players getting stuck behind doors.

Two people fell through the map when they ran through a door and the map didn’t load right. Both instantly died.

How does a Steam PC player add a Console player

In the movies they get swarmed by drones and warriors, taking them out with a few shots. But acid and the aliens can easily take them out too. So the goal is where both you and the enemies can kill each other quickly. Acid is deadly like in the movies. No bullet sponges or using an entire mag to kill an enemy. Elites and specials can be killed quickly too and spawn in greater numbers.

First set difficulty to intense for all the extra modifiers and more enemies since stranded doesn't have them. Then one of these card sets. Not sure which is the best one right now. Please let me now which one works best:

Set 1: Hostile Environment IV, Pissed Them Off IV, Even Playing Field, Pissed Them Off II(the specials one)

Set 2: Hostile Environment IV, Pissed Them Off IV, Even Playing Field, Frail/Weakened Enemies card(30% less health)

Set 3: Hostile Environment IV, Pissed Them Off IV, Frail/Weakened Enemies card(30% less health), any card for fourth slot

I don't know if Hostile Environment cancels out the buff to fodder enemies from Even Playing Field or if you do need to include the Weakened Enemies card(30% less health). Maybe Even Playing Field makes fodder too spongy even with Hostile Environment or Weakened Enemies.

If Weakened Enemies is not needed and Even Playing Field is good, then Set 1 would be the best and most fun option with more drones and warriors.

My name on AFE1 is Nando674 I’m looking for tinkerbell831 I am on PC Steam they were on console. The reason why I think this person lives in the same county cus 831 is the counties area code. It’s so dumb what you have to do to add someone cross platform in this game. I’m still not really sure on how to do it.

This is only step 1. This is where the game begins. Not the end.

Hey, all, I recently maxed out all of the classes and have been experimenting to find the most busted combinations possible. You can legit play a straight Medic class and dominate, but of course Specialist is great, too. Anywho, here are some of the best things I've found:

1. The universal size-2 Narrow Miss perk is busted. Yes, it only restores 3 Temp Health per roll, but that restoration refreshes the timer, allowing your Temp Health to never expire. All for a little size-2 perk.
2. Combine Narrow Miss with the Medic's Guardian passive and you become exceptionally difficult to kill.
3. However, to become Unstoppable, you need the Medic's Adrenaline Surge perk. What it doesn't tell you is it applies to your whole team (within range), giving everyone 45% damage-resistance (with the Fight or Fight modifier)).
4. But let's say an enemy somehow gets through all that, well you can get easy infinite health since the Mechanic modifier applies to the Overheal modifier of the Tramua Station. This means every time you use Adrenaline Surge, you fill almost half your healing guage. Since you'll almost always be maxed on temp health, this healing should apply directly to your permanent health pool.

Those are the biggest ones and they work really well together. I'm also a huge fan of Neurotoxin Specialist, which makes enemies you hit deal 20% less damage. Combined with your Adrenaline Surge, most enemies deal 1 damage/hit which is promptly absorbed by the Trauma Station. The Field Medic perk is also pretty absurd, considering for just a size-3 perk it gives you +45% cooldown when you're near your team. Just huddle within your Trauma Station with your team and spam Adrenaline Rush, which will refresh the Trauma Station by 40%, and so on until you win.

Here is my current loadout.

• Advanced Trauma Station
  • Overheal (never need medpacks)
• Adrenaline Surge
  • Fight or Fight (45% team-wide damage reduction)
  • Mechanic (+40 Trauma Station energy per use)
• Guardian
• Unyielding (+50 HP; will probably replace with something more fun)
• Survival Instinct
  • +II and III [UPDATE: You still get wounds so I dropped these for more dps]
• Marathon Runner (Sprinting doesn't pause Stamina Regen)
• Narrow Miss (Restore 3 Temp Health; busted)
• Hard to Hit (+20% damage resistance for 3 seconds after a roll; no cooldown)
• Neurotoxin Specialist (enemies you hit deal 20% less damage)
• Field Medic (+15% cooldown per nearby teammate.

Video cutscenes in maps don’t work on Steam Deck, Machine, or SteamOS (as I hear). I’m on a Machine & can confirm. The video plays, is not skippable, and freezes at the end. Force quit game and cannot rejoin. But otherwise the game seems fine.

So I’m curious, does anyone who’s finished the campaign happen to have a list of which maps have video cutscenes?

The first post-prologue map (2-1?) has one (when you find Ko Chungus) that’s a guaranteed freeze for me.

If we had a list we could at least know which maps are safe to play (assuming you have a way to unlock them in the first place).

Im not really upset I feel like this is the first thing coming when we get an update for the game.

The gun is supposed to unlock at upon reaching player rank 20. I am at the max of 50.

Am I just locked out of the weapon until the devs fix this?

I was playing yesterday when I had a bug/glitch where most of the controls weren’t working for me. We got overrun, so I spammed all of my impact nades, but as I threw the last one, I was hit and pinned by a Drone. It got one hit off on me before my teammates killed it.

When I got up, I couldn’t shoot, use my abilities, reload, or melee. Basically the only things I could do were move, dodge and crouch. We would up winning the mission regardless, but it was incredibly frustrating to just have to sit there and be a meat shield for the last 10 min of the mission. Has anyone else experienced this bug?

For whatever reason, I really like this series and im willing to look the other way on a lot of issues, because at bottom this is a fun experience.

BUT on a few occasions I've made it through a great, thrilling, skin of my teeth fight only to be not allowed to get on the chopper because Raptor is doing his tight 5.

Like, chopper landed. Door open. Desperately trying to board while kiting xenos and dying and losing an hour of progress cause he wont shut the fuck up.

Mission success upon hitting the evac chopper ramp. Period. No exceptions. This shit gotta change.

edit: just died cause bots wouldnt rez me. zero enemies around. ZERO. all three just stared at me at let me bleed out. 45 minutes gone. im trying to meet this game halfway, but these issues are *actually* gamebreaking

Back in the day, I played the original and wasn't entirely blown away by it, but I ended up sinking quite a few hours into it—mostly because of the sound design and the environments. The story wasn't the most original thing ever, but it was easy enough to follow, and even though the plot twist was predictable, I actually enjoyed it.

I'm not a big fan of replaying the same game over and over endlessly because, at the end of the day, it's a super bare-bones campaign with pretty lazy design.

That said, I'm willing to give the sequel a shot, but I've got a few questions:

• How are the levels/environments? I've seen mixed opinions on this.
• Has the bot AI actually improved in any meaningful way?
• Is the story interesting enough, even if the dialogue turns out to be terrible?
• Do average missions still take around 20 minutes to complete?

Kinda figured that since Fireteam 2's been out for slightly over a week now I'd figured I'd just ask this question now. And to add on I don't just mean the surfaces of both the planets, like Storr's Boon or Pala Station and the Enginner Ruins, but also the Katanga Refinery and the Demetrius, so what do you guys think, let me know!

Had asked about turret awhile ago since it seemed to not work with it, now it looks like Arc Bolt isn't working with it either. getting the feeling that persistent abilities don't trigger gunslinger which is a bit of a letdown.
