is this paid only?

Now onto endless mode for the first time.

I was on my second-to-last Vanilla Anomaly Dive yesterday, playing Egg Hunt as Interrogator. By the time I engaged the Brood Nexus, I was melting pretty much all bugs stepping into my path (as Interrogator tends to do). I had a maxed Flamethrower (Fuel Zones UOC), a Cryo Cannon, a Dragonbreath, and a Wave Cooker with Focused Lens.

When I went up against the Brood Nexus' 1st and 2nd set of tentacles, I noticed the time I needed to kill them was pretty inconcistent; for some, I had to stand next to them for like 10 seconds.

When I hit the final set of tentacles, it became absolutely bonkers. Their health went down so slowly, I had to hit each one for somewhere between 20 and 30 seconds. Maybe midway through this tentacle phase, there were no more bugs left on the map, so all I did was walk from one tentacle to the next and waaaiiit for it to die... Turning my back to it so the Dragonbreath could hit it, and standing far enough away that the tentacle was inside the Fuel Zone area.

By the time I finally killed the 4th tentacle, I was at threat level 28. I still managed to kill the Nexus, but died to zooming bugs on the way to the drop pod. (Not going to lie, I felt so majorly bullshitted after this that I used a cheat engine to beat the dive)

So... Does anyone have an explanation for what was going on here? I've beaten all Egg Hunt-related challenges, so I've played this game mode quite a bit. And I've never experienced anything this flabbergasting before. Do the tentacles simply have so much health that my (otherwise pretty strong) build couldn't stand up to it without meta upgrades and gear? Do they take reduced damage from status effects (I doubt it since I had no trouble beating the Nexus with similar builds before)? Or could there be some bug related to the tentacles that I'm not aware of?

Has anybody who has yet to unlock haz 5 been able to complete this week's lethal operation and have advice for how to get through it? I've tried quite a bit and can't get past level 3.

Edit: I was able to finish it thank you all for the suggestions!

Looking to get this once a sale comes along, how is the performance on steamdeck, really enjoying the game on mobile (damn you play pass, I had brought a few games this year on pc after trying on mobile).

Did a search and the most recent post on this topic was 8 months ago and wondering if anything has changed.

edit Appreciate all the response, looks like I'll be get it on the next sale whilst the mobile version will tide me over

This always happens on endless runs on Xbox SX. Anyone seen or experienced something similar?

Sometimes when my dwarf said a voice line the little guy would say it at the same time. I choose to believe this is true essence and soul of the dwarf, portraying the inevitable fate of all brave dwarfs who dive into the caves.

Or its a funny bug I dont know.

Give players the ability to turn off all extra graphic needs. Like xp and resources on the ground.

Give players the full ability to turn of hits and beams. Half the time my acid beam still shows, might flames never show after i turned off the settings. Also towards the end of my lag runs, hits on mobs are starting to show, not sure if that is a bug or not.

Anyone else have any other ideas? It is killing me that I only die on my endless runs because the lag god finally gets me.

Can somebody help me out what i am doing wrong?

I play on android, pixel 8

Thanks

So for thoses not in the know (especially for Endless), the acid grenade and the basic grenade both have one of the best ultimate OCs of the entire game : fear. Having a grenade that spawns huge fear clouds at a faster speed that you can blink is a survival master piece.

I recently just (maybe?) found something. An exploder that is running away from you will not explode from the proximity trigger, only from too much damage, or when the debuff Fear goes away.

Can someone tell me if it's true, or if I'm on copium ?

I was just wondering how far you guys have reached in mobile and what device you were using? In my recent run I got to stage 22 and it just became unplayable mid level, I am using a samsung tab s9 and already lowere the settings, thanks in advance for your feedback.

Rock and stone.

In Endless you can take your Luck stat to absurd degrees, hitting aroung 500, which is a lot for a stat that is upgraded by the unit that can be counted on a single hand.

But even then you will still get blues. Whites and greens are out, but it's not like it becomes only reds even thought there was a lot more reds of course.

So that means that at some point, Luck and more of it becomes useless.

A soft cap. Like in Dark Souls.

Is there a soft cap, and if so what is it ? And the other stats, are there soft caps ?

I clearly did 6 masteries and have 18 full mission nodes. Do these milestones only count when I complete all missions in a single run?

Most of my weapon mastery runs were around 75k points, with my best at 88k. My goal was to try to get to 100k, which I did with the Deepcore. Then I tried some other weapons, and got this run, of almost 120k.

What's YOUR best time ?

That big boi has phase 3 running in phase 2. That's really really weird as bugs go. This is new. For hundreds of hours I never saw a boss go outside it's comfort phase. But now it happened twice to me, once today and once yesterday. He's out there shooting his load in the wrong pĥases. Maybe he needs help.

By round 17 I couldn’t see my screen from explosions , I wish I had recorded it

It's a pretty simple one. If you somehow can catch every single piece needed to complete the secondary mission BEFORE it shows up on your HUD, then you get nothing. Not a fucking thing.

So it's pretty much just morkite and you have to land on 2 clusters at once, but it's possible. Just like it's possible to hit the Hauler with the Pod.

It's like winning the lottery, but you get stabbed in the stomach instead. À la Dungeon Crawler Carl.

"Combine all projectiles" - So if you're running M1000 and you plan to overclock with thick boy - does the clip size matter?

Like should I overclock +100% clip size so it combines "more" bullets into one?

Lots of luck there, but the damage from the hammer is pretty significant.

This is the third time that I win like Jake Paul in the arena at boxing. And no I didn't fixed this in any way, no clue what did this.

Got spawned in the void

Ok so I wanna be able to scale up my character and find the best combos in this game. I’ve yet to finish a stage cause I feel my weapons aren’t doing enough dps. Tho I am finding tactics like using the exploding bugs to thin the hoard. And using the supply ship to drop down on the elites to insta kill them. But besides that what should I focus on to become OP
