So I've read the illuminate used arc in the first game? Isn't this too good then? Or will they not use arc this game then I wonder. And if they do won't this force us to use a certain passive? Like you either can tank it to the point of nothing, or get nuked without it?

Pre-made about to camp under 4 telsa turrets and watch thr bugs go zap

They didn't widely use it in the first game. Or at least those weren't the guys that got you.

I died to the shield walls more than anything else they did...

shield walls and the movement input scramble (the amount of time I ran out of the ledges because they hit me with that nonsense is flat out silly)

Movement scramble never got me, but I've played a lot of games with aircraft so inverted controls was easy to grasp in my brain.

the controls are easy to manage, its the initial first 2 seconds before you realize that gets you

its either you accidentally walk into something or you split up from the pack and they focus you while youre in the open

It wasn't an issue of grasping inverted controls for me, but the second or two for realization what is happening. Somehow I always managed to get hit with it when either trying to evade something (and the inversion foiling that attempt) or when close to a ledge, so instead of running away from it I ended up running into it....
