Do the bugs actually have weight this time?

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

Of course not. They go flying across the horizon with a well-placed shotgun blast same as always.

And that's for the better! Why would you want to decrease the jank!? [lol]

They've managed to sneak in more "Setpiece" moments than before though, there's this one level that has you making a mad dash to a allied squad while kamikazes chase you down and blow everything up. It's not to the level of Insect Armageddon but there are more "rally at the objective" moments than before. (That is, there's two or three instead of zero past the tutorial.)

I'm about thirty missions in now. Still slumming it with lvl 5 weapons. Should play on hard instead.

The bugs zipping around is part of the charm.

I also love the new drones for Air Raider—pocket airstrikes without the build-up required.

Also, like the Binary Compound grenade for Ranger, which is emulating a chemical weapon.

Huh, 5 and 6 have dedicated trope pages now. I'll expand them when i get the chance.

They're really packing a lot of enemy types in goddamn.

I know, right? I love the enemy variety, and the weapon variety is looking good, too. I was skeptical of the air raider rework, but the shift to drones and dropping of turrets has worked out great.

I think the Wing Diver has benefitted the most from the backpack slot. Throwing some Awesome, but Impractical weapons like the Gleipnir in there has made the class far safer and cooler at the same time.

And previously running out of energy basically meant you couldn't do anything for a few critical seconds. Now you can! That's good!

And while the luminous shield types probably are the most overall useful i just can't say no to a lightsaber.

The backpack slot has been one of the best additions. It's great to have an emergency crowd clear, drop a life vendor for an air raider, or use similar tricks.

Edit: I also love the mantling system. Makes it way easier to get around obstacles now.

Beat it the first time with Air Raider now I am playing through as wing diver. Man saber diver is so much fun. I love the energy swords.

I'm still just a couple missions past 100 with my main, Wing Diver.

Goddamn does this game have a hell of a lot of missions.

Lol at Archelus going full Worf Effect.

There are 147 missions before the DLC missions. Yeah, that mission was a big "Oh, no" moment.

What difficulty are you playing on? I did Air Raider on normal and Wing Diver on hard.

For Wingdiver, do not sleep on the Pulsar Spear series of Back Pack items. These things are powerful.

So for EDF6, would it be safe to say Friendly Fandoms is in effect with Helldivers II? They're both multiplayer games involving soldiers fighting a Bug War, robots and aliens; being super patriotic; and having arsenals made for "spreading democracy"?

I've seen a few crossover memes (With Warhammer 40k and Starship Troopers thrown in at least once) but really I think EDF is such an ant compared to Helldivers in visibility (Pun intended) there's not as much as there should be. [lol]

I'm going to say that Glaukos appears way too often in this game. Just mission after mission of pumping damage into the sky just to make it run away.

World Brothers 2 is out!

It's awesome!

Riho Futaba is playable! When you select her she goes "This must be a dream... Please tell me I'm dreaming!"... Oh. I feel bad for using her now.

But honestly the game's freakin' awesome. Everything that was great about WB 1 with more content. I unlocked my 2 favorites from 1 (Safari Sister and Pharaoh Sister) in like the third mission so I've already lucked out on the Randomly Drops. Desire sensor must be broken.
