That feels actively impossible considering how many times Fleshmobs have dropped dead after I broke the last section of the torso.

You are not alone.

Nah, i can confirm. They go down much faster to rockets, fire, and big laser than to having their glowing eyes shot off. I started off assuming the eyeballs thing as well, going to the trouble of jetpacking behind them to get the ones from the other side but nothing really did the trick untill I started bringing grenade launchers, anti tank turrets, and quasars.

Well, helped get us past the Fleshmob threshold, so for now we get free Recoilless Rifles as a reward in missions. Now players just need to really start killing Leviathans. Otherwise we have Factory Striders, Shriekers, and Impalers to deal with. Shriekers we're doing well on, but Impalers, Leviathans, and Factory Striders are not going well so far, probably because they're rarer enemies.

[up] There's a higher number of Factory Striders on Clarorell. The issue is that the players are divided between several different planets, meaning that they aren't killing enough at a sufficient rate.

Yeah, if they could focus on one it'd work (I saw 13,000 players on the one Illuminate world that we were still defending, but the bug planet and I think the Bot planet had less players).

It might be that they're trying to focus on the Illuminate first, but idk.

[up][up][up] The problem I've noticed with this MO is that a lot of the stuff we need to kill doesn't spawn super frequently (and especially in the case of Leviathans, it's situational to be able to kill them). The fleshmob counter went down super quick because they're everywhere, but when's the last time you saw more than a couple Impalers in a bug mission?

Yeah, it's a lot of high-difficulty enemies, except for the Shriekers and Fleshmobs. Those both pop up a lot and the Shriekers are easy to kill.

I spent a few hours playing and my team downed less than a dozen Leviathans. Bastards kept sniping my AT emplacements.

There's a new "minor order" to kill a bunch of Spore Bursters on Fori Prime (which was made temporarily available again) with Stalwarts. There's also a lot of Impalers on Fori Prime. Maybe too many Impalers, good grief.

Also, it's only just occurred to me that there are still Evacuate Priority Citizens missions on Fori Prime. Does this mean that there are still civilians who have been holding out for months on a Gloom-consumed world?

I spent a good bit of time on Fori Prime this morning. Less time on Claorann and no time on the Illuminate Front, but we did get Shriekers down and Impalers are over 50%. Seems that the Striders and Leviathans are going to be the issue.

Joel threw us a bone and reduced the Leviathan count that we need to 750,000, citing that inventive hunting methods are impressing the public more than anticipated. This MO is now still possible, we just need people to grind factory strider kills on Claorell for the rest of today.

Yeah, I was thinking when I first saw the number "7.5 million? No fucking way we're getting that many Leviathans."

Honestly downing Leviathans usually just isn't worth it, I described them more as an obstacle than a enemy before.

They require heavy AP on a faction that otherwise is built around no armor too.

and a ridiculous amount of fire as well. I just bring a AT turret to all ilum drops nowadays. Actually, i bring one to nearly every drop

Taking out a Leviathan should make it stop appearing for awhile. It's quite unrewarding, for a big enemy.

Thank goodness.

Claorell is also nearly under our control.

[up] It's unfortunate but it makes sense; bunkers are supposed to be a high-value reward for cooperating with other players, so it's natural that they don't want players to be able to bypass that on their own.

That was fast. I literally used one to do that just a few hours before.

Turns out I was wrong, some bunkers are just weird.

The secret is apparently to take a running start and DIVE before warping.

Or just do it from a standing position rather than running. It warps you forward regardless. I was SC hunting yesterday and got into multiple bunkers that way.

New MO, get 30 million rare Terminid samples and hold Turing and Achernar to learn more about the gloom.
