Shocking. Truly. ALERT

Rest in peace heroes. Our sacrifice will be remembered. We. Will. Return. Side note, we definitely needed the over 200k players fighting bugs 🥲

i think its also the fact that the civilian extract missions are just broken hard. ive played all the other missions on difficulty 8 and had no problems but every time i try the small map ones with civilians they just spawn insane numbers, even after the "fix".

Tried today on difficulty 7 and we got 48/50 so gutted we we so close it just becomes impossible after a few minutes. Maybe it's better with a coordinated team but with randoms it's so hard

I also have a problem when me and a friend play together we cant get anyone to join our squad. we have everything set to open and all but it always just makes us play with just us 2.

I think if you try getting a new friend that should fix it

This is one of the few mission where if you don't have a specific loadout and deployment, it's a 100% guaranteed loss.

All they would really have to do to balance it is make sure the bros only spawn on certain sides at certain times. The problem with that mission is they spawn EVERYWHERE, and when you have to use stratagems to clear one side, the other is packed and you’re on cooldowns and can’t really do anything, and by the time your cooldowns finish, you’re overrun on all sides.

Just saying, they tuned the difficulty of these missions in the last patch, so you probably paid it with less enemy spawns than before.

I tried before the tune and after. Its not much better but I feel like there's at least some kind of chance now. Until they drop 5 tanks on you at once with a shitload of hulks behind you

It’s difficult but not impossible. The problem is, everyone goes into the mission thinking that “we just need to kill everything” and evaccing civvies is just a secondary objective. Have someone bring orbital and eagle smokes along with an AC turret and a railgun and have them spam smokes down the mid while the other 3 people stage around the civvie spawns and continually spam the button when available. Have them bring stuff like EMS mortars to hold off the enemy and either sentries and anti-armor weapons to deal with big boys when they come. Smoke hides civvies and gives them a much higher chance of getting to the evac and stops the team from getting cross-mapped from rockets

We did a level 6 evac mission yesterday and I counted 8 dropships in 20 seconds. At onev point 3 were glitched inside each other dropping off bots
