E-D-F! E-D-F!

I thought it was laughably cheesy when your comrades would always freak out about how they're never ending.


this is bad, I'm out of ammo

Kind of useless, but pretty cool nonetheless

HOW THE FUCK DO I CATCH UP WITH THESE NIGGER LEGGED SHIELDBEARERS AS A BIG ASS FENCER TIN CAN FUCKER

shh user
dash/shield cancel.

I fucking love Air Raider.

>i'm always in the middle of the shitstorm Somehow my gaming skill shoots through the roof when my shit's getting pushed in shooting shit
>whenever an air rider is without a vehicle or is waiting for the drop or somebody goes to revive someone in the rare case that isn't me i always protect their ass by just standing in place and employing more dakka.

I love those moments.

never have I experienced such joy

VDF ROOM GOING UP

So is there any way to get around this region lock bullshit? Does anyone want to set up a server?

changing your steam download region, changes your playable region, just set it to LA/NY or somthing

Has there ever been a game that really nails home the desperation and the dread of absolute and inescapable doom as perfectly as EDF?

There's never been a more "Holy FUCK" moment in video games that hit me quite like when the honeycomb modules dropped.

It's too bad, because we'll likely never see another game that plays on this scale ever again.

When will this game be on sale again? I have missed it just by hour and i refuse to pay 45 dosh for a game.

shitloads of missiles on a single target is my fetish
Yes, I did unlock a FORK launcher

Alright what am I missing in mission 11, air force.

I'm playing as a fencer and get destroyed by the swarm. Occasionally I get told to deploy some self propelled missile with no indication as to how.

The self-propelled missiles are only for air raider and ranger. Fencers are pretty hard to play when fighting air shit due to lack of speed.

Quadruple gatling guns worked for me, though I wound up needing only one pair.
Also, you can just hide under the bridge.
the Naeglings show up on their own, you'll know when it happens

...

so is there any reliable way to bring down mobile fortress balam down?
perhaps it is because im still on the first few missions (hard mode), but am I doing somthing wrong?

Command, I'm requesting a tactical nuclear strike on my position.


Kill shit. A lot of shit.

so teammate kills count, I know that.
what about NPCs?

Npc kills count as well. Some missions you won't be able to do it reliably due to how few bugs are there.

Does anyone else think that the worst enemies in this game are the jumping spiders? I notice a majority of the time that these are the enemies that give me them ost trouble in large groups and are the cause of my death. They are the bane of my existance in trying to play through very hard.

I found a spot where two buildings diagonal to each other have their corners come very close. Majority of them get stuck and I could mow them down with gatling fire and recover health from the SHOWER of pickups.

I love ploughing through shit with hand cannons, wish the melee weapons were more effective.

YES
God I fucking hate the spiders

Don't tell me you actually dislike the limpets. The splendor has been tearing ass through everything for me.

Some weapons are gimmicky.
REALLY gimmicky

Hey op. You forgot the steam group!!


Join us here: steamcommunity.com/groups/VDFInfinite

I beat that by backdash canceling with a shield that has a low reflection cost. Ends up kiting most of the drones and killing them with their own shots.

Any game rooms open right now?

since my main is Air Raider large groups of red ants are a near instant loss if I'm not in a vehicle.

What vehicles do you use to counter them? I always tried to use crawlers mainly for mobility. The flamer ones are pretty good for dealing with them.

Does anyone want to set up a room?

sorry if this is a retarded question, but does the air raider on foot have the same dodge as the ranger (I - frames / smashing objects)?

also if anyone has it, please post the jojo-fencer webm.

Air raiders cannot break objects with dodges.

So what's the bet the devs will eventually introduce navy battles eventually featuring Wing Divers fighting tentacle monsters?

I'd say very low to non-existent. I've heard the devs plan on releasing mod tools so maybe it'll still happen.

In open area:
Limpet Splendor to thin out the ranks a bit at distance, then I hop into Gigantus Tank with automated turrets mounted on top.

Any one of the Vegeta Fire mechs works as well.

In caves:
Depth Crawler

Oh god.

Balam Laser Fortress shoots lasers

My dick is now diamonds

kinda dark actually

so, I bought this and it crashes on startup, wat do? I have an amd card and cpu so I know i am kinda fucked but is there anything to do but get a refund?

There is a mod that fixes that.

I would refund on principle if I was crashing personally

facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1485444&p=50746058&viewfull=1#post50746058
If you don't want to refund.

Ill put up edf for a few, we can farm a map

The strength of limpets is how absurd projectile physics work in EDF. That is to say, you have tons of range with the limpet. If you're getting into ranges of less than 200m with the limpet gun, you're using it wrong. You might as well be tossing landmines everywhere at that range.

Also, it seems for some vehicles and weapons the handling is better when you're using a gamepad. The tank turret rotation and fencer high-recoil weapons come to mind.

nice.

The soldier conversations are one of the ebst things about the game

What difficulty? Hard or very hard?

The high recoil fencer weapons work great on mouse once you get used to the acceleration and momentum.

...

I remember taking the limpet gun into some tunnels in Inferno swarming with ants. Fired them off. Nearly blinded myself due to the massive flash of white and projectiles bounces off walls and killing literally everything in that tunnel due to the tight quarters and projectiles bouncing off everything so close together.

I DID NOT EXPECT TO FEEL IN THE MIDST OF BATTLE.

Unrelated, I got the basic bitch fortress balam from inferno, and it's TERRIBLE. I mean it's badass and towers over enemies, but walks at 0.0000000000000005 miles per hour.


I need to know what vehicles are good. Otherwise I'll just keep cancer and play this fucking Wing Diver until it stops being gud

Vegaltas/Begartas are good, Depth Divers are super good, Naeglings are really specifically anti-air but amazing at that, the Gigantus is a decent hit and run vehicle, the mobile railgun is really good against hectors and deroys but not much else, and that's pretty much it. Bikes, APCs and helicopters are all gimmicks that will get you killed more often than not.

I decided to drive a railgun tank against Hectors and funny enough, it absolutely rapes them. It's a shit choice though if you are expecting to encounter swarms of enemies though. Unless you get to bring friends to mount the side machine guns

Where's the fucking rooms lads

I love how you can snipe shit with rocket launchers.
Few games actually do that, fewer games do it in a satisfactory manner.
That fucking Javelin lookalike makes me moist

Sometimes it's not so great against hectors though

Everytime

These drops are getting on my nerves.

Ah yes, the good old Hector Tank Punt 2016.

pleb

Something bugs me about the EDF series no pun intended goddamn it

How come there was only one game by Americans instead of the usual team? It seems different too with addition of classes. Was that any decent in its own right?

Made a room.

VDF
USW region
HARD - Mission 89

it wasn't bad but it wasn't nearly as good as the "real" EDF games. too short, too shallow

Mission 93 can suck my ass.

...

The only Fencer weapon that's good at clearing Air (that I got so far) is the back-mounted 6-tube missile launcher.
Can't run or dash with it, can lock 6 target and does good damage. Long reload though. So I take 2 and alternate.

I wish I could dual wield assault rifles.

Is this giant insect serious ?

I hate this planet

Get a credit card.

And then max it on videogames.

I only wish the fancer coudl sue shoulder/back mounted weapons together with arm mounted ones.

mfw
Later found out that there were actually 3 queens, not one. One missile was enough for all them bitches
Leviathan is also good at killing enemies through the walls. Sometimes allies too…

Just try firing that thing into a swarm horizontally (so it doesn't hit the ground).

Shit my ass, it cuts right through several red ants with every shot.

I'm thinking about getting out but I've heard people compare it to Dynasty Warriors and I really never did enjoy DW

Give it a pirate first to see if you like the style of game that it is.

I killed my team with it once….


Say, did anyone experience heavy grenade launchers on the fencer…misfireing?
Sometimes, even though there's nothing in front of me, the grenade explodes as if it hit a wall in front of me. And that kills me instantly, since those things do 1500 damage in a huge radius.

It has never happened in "sterile" environment, but when there're bugs blowing up and "allies" running around, it happens. From what I noticed you can blow yourself up when too close to wall even when the cannon is not inside the wall and when someone is right behind you. Also corpses are not synced even though they do fly in general direction but it might happen that you'll hit corpse on another players PC and kill him while on your end it'll look fine. It doesn't kill you though even if that player is next to you.

I have had a weapon box disappear right in front of me, so i think there might be a delay in the syncing.

Is there even a reason to try? By the time you have 70% with normal progression you'll have only hardest and inferno to beat, and weapon limits don't really matter there.

...

That's why I started jet jumping on buildings and shooting from there.

Not only does it give me a better overview, ti's also safer.
Hasn't happened again….yet

Jokes on you I brought it and buy all it's DLC

the only trouble is convincing air raiders to take guides for it

Jokes on you lmao

Why did I look up R34 Earth Defense Force?

...

Any pirate playin?

Good, this is what my cock has been craving.

You know if we do get mod tools there will be Rule 34 mods right?

any europoors hosting?

Who needs porn mods, when a gundam mod would make my penis explode

This user gets it!

One of the vehicle's was pretty good, it is a real shame that there is no higher level version of it.

I'm having issues, well, my friend does. When he tries to connect to my game, our games crash to desktop simulatneously. Any fixes? Shit is getting annoying.

pixiv has some nice stuff.

...

I know that feel.

I hope you have fun

So why are weapons such shit half the time?
Especially for winddiver, I've been wanting to play on Hard with people but the weapon limits is fucking retarded as the only viable weapons are slim like the MX rapier lvl 20 and the plasmafall.

Was there an update which I didn't download or it's just empty because everyone already bought it?

I'm downloading the game right now and I keep seeing people complaining about weapon/armor limits. What exactly is the problem?

When you play multi there is a limit on your armor (hp) and the level of the weapons you can bring (for example you can't bring a level 10 weapon to a mission which has the level limit at 5 or 9. If you want a level 10 weapon you need a mission which has a level limit of 10.

You can turn this off by completing the game 70%, but that counts all collectibles and level difficulties with each class. So basicly by the time you get it it's useless, because the higher level difficulties (hardest/inferno) have a high weapon level limit.

In multiplayer the game limits the max level of gear you can equip but the levels assigned to gear is pretty arbitrary. It's probably to try and curtail people getting carried through hard or hardest by one guy with shit from inferno but what it mostly accomplishes is just making some classes not fun because the cool toys are out of level range.

Forgot to say that the game counts multi and single separate, so if you "100%" the single, you are still only somewhere near 50% because the multi has more levels than the single by like 10.

i just took the cracked version …. then when i buys it i ll just import my saves files

Importing saves doesn't not work.


Weapon limits are appropriate to mission and difficulty. Once the host completed 70% of the game the limit can be turned off by them

Just a heads up, if you don't know.
EDF 4.1 is on sale on the PS Store right now. 50% discount.

Or you could just get it on PC.

Except there not, most Wingdiver weapons on Hard are fucking trash, looking at the mirage homing weapons especially.

why? arent they stored in "mydocument/myGames/" ?

yes but they're tied to your Steam ID, even the generated one by SSE.

People who suck bitch at how the game does not allow them to carry high level weapons to carry them through hard difficulty.

I like to stick them to people i play with. like ALOT of them. then just switch weapons and not use it. that way they have to play looking at a glowing EDF soldier the entire game.

then when it says "mission accomplished" i switch and kill them.

but dont you dare copy my style. thats MY thing.

you on SSE? I'm not seeing any rooms up either man. Guess it's just dead.

I'll make a room in a bit.

dash cancel with a javalin/melee combo. zig zag all over.

then i do dual jackhammers in the other set or shield + jackhammers

i find 2 tall buildings close together. theres one if you run straight right. go there and stick next to the building. camp. use jackhammers. if you have friends lay down shields and health.

the GENOCIDE GUN wont blow up this building, once the naegling rockets deploy, they'll blow your cover… thats when you zig zag all over the fucking place until the mission ends.

i beat this on inferno using this method.

Or you could use dual javelin launchers and annihilate destroy the aerial drones.

Anyone wants to play together?Pirated version here.
I have missions unlocked up until ~33 or so(the one with a gigallion hectors), my favorites are fencer and wing diver but I think air raider would be fun in multiplayer too.

I think the most annoying thing is just how hard it is to get a specific type of weapon you want, I have been trying to farm for a better assault rifle, rocket launcher, and sniper rifle only to get shit. The current rifle I am using is a burst one that deals a lot of damage, but I was looking for an upgraded battle rifle/pseudo sniper. I have not gotten a rocket launcher to drop yet, and the only sniper I got so far was one that has no accuracy whatsoever.

Also I need the pirate guide on how to play online if anyone has it

81 inferno for weapons.
crimson inferno for armor.


which mission is this?


seriously. i can one shot a mothership with some of my snipers on lesser difficulties.


they dont do enough damage. even dual lvl 76 javelin storm isnt enough. on lower difficulties maybe. but once you get up there, you need to use buildings for cover and make sure nobody brings explosives. like the one with red drones where you have to run for the apartment stairs and hold up in their with shields and snipers.

my fencer has almost 10k HP and they still 1-shot me because of stun lock.

Spiders are truly the worst.

just play through on normal. the games weapons stack pretty well.

once you finish normal you'll have enough base HP to play some hard. grab some weapons from hard to play on hardest. then take those weapons and help people farm some inferno maps. farm inferno maps until youre unstoppable. then go back and play easy, hard, to work towards 100%.


the retardius spiders are my least favorite. but i bet you'll love when the silver spiders start hopping towards you.

...

I have been playing on hard and hardest. It gets pretty shit with only 400 health though.

Alien Genocide is up for people on the Steam Emu.

TO PEOPLE WITH SSE:

Make sure the game closes properly, I've had 4 .exes still running in the background hours after playing the game

Jaysus. What is this shit.

There's your problem. If you play thorugh normal you'll usually have around 700 or more depending on class.


I thought people realized this already, though i close everything that way.

...

God yes, I can deal with the jumping spiders.
Its this faggot snipers who can shoot webs through cavewalls which for some dumb reaon you have to destroy the fucking web or them instead of the small strand pulling you in.
What the fuck why isn't shooting the strand viable?
If I can destroy a whole web made out of these strands why can't I destroy the strand pulling me in?

do you just want to play the game? im working towards 100% and im pretty close

with each class i did 100% of easy, normal, and hard.. and upto mission 97 with all 4 classes.

ive scattered done a bunch of inferno missions, but im saving that for last.

at 70% you can turn off limits and go play easy with a gungnir.

"godzillas attacking! our weapons are useless!" "its running away?!"


you can destroy the strand. but not if its in a wall. but theres enough of it behind you to hit if you shoot almost straight down.

i will typically run behind a building so im being pulled into a building, preferably a doorway. then face away from where im being pulled and shoot down. it usually breaks the web. it just has as much, if not more health than the entire web itself.

also shooting the spider makes the web break.

guh guh guh guh guh guh guh

I see, I have only tried it on normal and hard and it worked really well then so I just assumed it would work.

steam version lobby when

>He hasnt reached the dragons yet

>He hasn't reached the bigger dragon Yet.

Neat trick for everyone using air raider
Your power posts can power up your own vehicles, and they stack too!
Stick 3 posts on a tank and one-shot inferno-tier hectors

So Does the earth die? I assume it does

Nippon strong.

So everyone on earth but japan then?

EDF strong.

At least it's actually somewhat steerable if you can get past the first couple of seconds of acceleration, unlike the other SDL1.

i hope you guys are playing with k+m and not gamepad

i mean i tried gamepad since it s a console game but it felt weir to aim since its not linked to movement

>Shred every Big guy by riding on its back and blasting it with the rapier weapons

...

Some stuff like vehicles and fencer artillery feels very much intended to be used with a gamepad. For everything else in the game though there's no point to giving up superior mouse aim.

Kind of want the source for that but experience has taught me that it's probably not that good

>go around collecting drops as a ground vehicle-less air raider through a HUGE field

Reminder that there is a SSE room up right now called Alien Genocide.

Come join us, faggots

What's the deal with Spritefall? I just got it for the air raider but whenever I equip it the girl on the radio talks about illegal access and that someones taken control of spritefall. Is there a story behind this from one of the previous games or something? Why wouldn't they just use Spritefall normally and why am I hacking it?

Also, is there something I'm missing about the fencer ? I did a fair share of missions with him and I can't say I hate him, but it just seems to be the weakest class. He's all well and good at range, but as soon as he's surrounded, his shit mobility spells doom, even with shields and a boost jump. It feels like he belongs to an entirely different game, really, one based on corridors instead of open spaces..

Fencer is for skilled players.

Treat him as a walking artillery, it makes more sense in coop than solo.

God I love that one, it's a great area denial tool.
Either use him as an artillery piece or hit and run attacks. Using a charge weapon, dashing into a crowd, then dash canceling out while it charges up again works pretty well.

I did only play him in solo, and mostly with the cannons. I can imagine other players covering his weaknesses.

The fencer has plenty of mobility if you use a weapon that gives you a booster and cancel the recovery animation with an attack. It ends up being around as fast on the ground as a wing diver in the air.

boost - shield bash - repeat

It also works well with dual lances and javelin launchers/lance

Dc'd and can't see the lobby, i assume it got bombed like yesterday.

Do people just not fuck around with things on their own these days? Every thread there's two or three people who complain about fencer being slow when he's the fastest ground class. He even starts default with a shield and blast spear set equipped, like the very first thing I did with him was try attacking with the spear out of a dash and saw that it carried the momentum into a second dash. I can understand not finding out something like using Balam posing to stand up fast or negate knockdowns but dash canceling is something I don't understand people not figuring out at least in some part on their own.

Yup the entire thing crashed, but I remade the room.

Fencer is the most mobile class. A melee weapon gives you a slide dash instead of the jump boost and a shield lets you cancel that animation by deflecting. Boost forward then at the end of the dash deflect to cancel the animation letting you instantly dash again. It can take some timing but once mastered he becomes the fastest and most mobile class in the game, personally I like using a spear so that I can just kite hordes of insects almost indefinetly while constantly impaling multiple enemies per attack.

I usually see Fencer as having 3 choices for weapons and mobility.
Melee and a cancel weapon like a shield gives you the most mobility and good kiting potential.
Guns that can be fired while moving and that don't interrupt you are a nice middle ground, this mostly applies to stuff like the gatling guns which are great against hordes.
Finally you have the really heavy weapons that stun you when you fire them due to the recoil, these have very low mobility and fire rate but high damage. This is shit like the mortars, missles and heavy cannons.

You have two sets and I would always recommend taking a high mobility melee weapon so you can get around if needed. Your second set should be based on the mission. Gating guns are great for hordes of insects while something like the gallic heavy cannon completely destroys hectors.

welp I dunno why it keeps disconnecting when it's done loading. Someone else try and make a room.

Oh, yes, of course, the discerning gamer's very first action playing a game for the first time.

created one:infinity and beyond

whelp looks like i have the same shit.

Yes, the discerning gamers very first action playing a game for the first time is to hit every button in semi-random combinations. You mean to tell me you don't do that? A game gives you a dash button and an attack button and you don't nearly immediately think "what happens if I try to attack during a dash?"

Is there a way to disable the mic in lobbies without having to unplug it? I'm talking over other voip programs and I want to keep it plugged in.

gg's user

So I'm playing through on hard as a ranger and I keep picking up armor but my total is still at 369.

Is that the limit or something?

If you die you don't get the armor

No. It goes much, much higher than that. The usual rate is every two boxes is 1 health. You might have accidentally turned on the limiter for armor in the equipment screen.

(checked)
I didn't die everytime I beat a mission it says I collected x amount.


I'll check the equipment screen to see if I did.

WE HAVE A SERVER UP?

Ok it was the armor limit, don't remember turning it on at all but oh well.

How do I play online with a pirated game?

Don't feel bad. I accidentally did it for the PS4 version with a wing diver and didn't notice until I realized I seemed a little too fragile.

its alright

One pasta coming right up:

1) Download this shit
mega.nz/#!oxZkVJrK!UnghkMURcERCBXaOS2zxcumNh3l6hv5ilmT-PXGi7QA
2)Extract it all on your EDF4.1 folder, replace steam_api64.dll
3)Open SmartSteamEmu, and drag EDF41.exe onto it, make sure that "Status of steam_api.dll" marked steam_api64.dll as verified.
4)Type "410320" into Game App Id, then press save.
5) Go to File > Settings, set SteamID to "PersonaName" and Name to whatever you want to be displayed as to other people. Hit save and you're done setting up. Right click on EDF's icon if you want to make a shortcut without needing to open SSE.
6) Start the game and go into the online mode and after a minute lobbies should appear. You can also use Shift+Tab to use invites and what not. Some lobbies work and some others don't, not sure what the deal is, but you're not actually paying for the game so don't complain. It works perfectly in-game.

2 important things:
Dont run steam games while SmartSteamEmu is running, or SSE will attempt to run them
make sure the EDF exe is not set as 'run as administrator' or you will have to run SSE as admin too when trying to play
Of course, if you have been playing it as admin, it wont detect the save files after turning admin off, and i dont know how to transfer them without getting corrupt save errors.
Anyway, thats what i have been using and it works, but the lobbies you see are different from the Steam ones

So where do I gotta go to start getting some actual neat shit for the air raider?

play normal until you get half decent weapons, then start farming second mission on hard, harder then inferno with the shit you'll get. After that it's pretty much free game.

Forgot to mention that a good and vastly used farming mission is 26, but you'll need weapons from atleast hard, because red ants WILL swarm you. Getting a balam and just stomping shit is also viable.

I farmed mission 11 on normal some and got the first suit of power armor and it's making my dick rock hard so far, we battletech now.

Also EDF is begging for an OGRE heavy tank.

I'm gonna need source for that

Nah just pick up ftp://revolt:[email protected]/* */[email protected]/* */.V2-RVTFiX.rar drop everything in your game folder and if it doesn't work launch steam (not the game, steam) as administrator, that's what did the trick for me.

whats this do?

Just realized you can't just swap back and forth easily. That's a shame. Used to do that with stuff like GTA for driving.

Putting a vdf room up for a bit

I had to take a walk after that.

>Hectors everywhere, bombs everywhere, time of my life picking stagglers and hiding behind the shield, then suddenly they deploy their own
>Quietly dash behind the shieldbearers without alerting hectors, poke to death
>Without the shields, NPCs make antburger from the incoming wave.

TL;DR: in which a mindless shooter made me sneak up on giant robots.


The room itself needs to be set as no chat.

How does Holla Forums feel about grinding out high level weapons? I just got through playing mission 81 with three other people on inferno. Ended up getting level 80 weapons for each class now.

I haven't even beat the singleplayer but now I'm just gonna blow through it. Did I spoil the game for myself?

Something about the rangers honoring their dead commander makes me feel every time

The temptation is great, but you can just choose to not use them. Thats the true grandeur of EDF, it is as challenging as you choose.

Well. Besides you know. Killing giant insects with laser chainsaws.

If you're having fun, you're playing it right.

MY FAMILY WAS MY ENTIRE LIFE. YOU STOLE THAT.
I HAD LOTS OF FRIENDS. NOW I HAVE NO ONE.

Man, the end of the game gets really depressing.

Level 80 weapons should make playing on hardest feasible for you now while solo, so try that?
Git gud, I'm doing the campaign on hard and my highest armor value is air raider with around 450

...

Never thought of it that way. Hell I don't have to use this AF100 at all I'm still going to use it


Great way to look at it user.

(checked)
I was planning on beating the game on hard then bumping it up but I might just have to do hardest now.

Here's a video I've made to cheer you guys up.

thanks

I actually did this a lot for my wing diver. I have Mirage 15WR which is a homing weapon, all I have to do it aim in the general direction and everything dies on normal-hard, perhaps even hardest.

It became quite boring, like I was staring through the monitor while killing bees, so I changed to a sniper instead. I enjoyed it much more, even when playing as a Ranger because I had to actually aim.

I don't know how the fuck this guy got up here

stairs

It's a thin man kill him

Hard is easy, Hardest is where the fun is, even so it's much easier than Inferno.

If you ever want to farm armor, just play splitscreen with yourself as the same class.
This way every armor picked will count as two instead of one.

Those faggot aliens had better be grateful they had to deal with those XCOM scrubs instead of the glorious EDF army

What? Why? Going to test.

Because every armor drop counts are one armor for each character in splitscreen.
So two chars = twice the armor gained

Got swarmed by spiders as a fencer, decided to clear them out with my power sword.

At the last second a weakened ally gets too close to me while trying to cover me.

Gets sent flying, dead, I watch his body hit the ground.

I was genuinely sad. Though most of the time I'm pretty cold about those idiots running into my bullshit. Air strikes kill more EDF forces than giant insects.

I don't know how split-screen stats works in this game though, is it double the armor for each individual character, would my Air Raider get twice as much armor (sounds retarded if true). Or is it divided between some kind of 'real character'/co-op character?

How can you live with yourself being such shit at video games? Mirage is great against ants and spiders, amazing against wasps, and absolutely godlike against dragons
Every weapon is good in certain situations

There's no such thing as a co-op character, it uses the same character stats as you.
It's why you're getting twice as much armor in the first place.

Okay then that explains everything. Time to plug in the gamepad I guess.

Do you get double the weapons as well, or is that pushing it?

No, its like.

In Splitscreen, all boxes are credited for both characters. So. If you jump in as a Wing Diver and an Air Raider is P2, both will get HP and weapons.

But if both are the same class…. both will get HP and weapons. Which translate to double HP, but same weapon rolls.

So you can either double up on armor by doing both of the same class, or grind weapons and armor for two classes at once by using two different ones.

do note that in splitscreen only the one who picks up the weapon box gets the weapon, unlike in 2025 where it gives weapon to both classes.

steam version room when

I'm pretty sure it was like that in 2025 as well as me and my friend would fight over boxes

Oh, that kind of sucks.

Does it share weapon boxes in multiplayer, or have I been fucking over everyone I play with

Pushing it.

Multiplayer it definitely shares, I get shit even in games where I don't pick anything up.

Good.

I wish that the slower classes(air raider and ranger) got some sort of vaccuum for picking up item drops or something, rolling from one end of the map to the other because a weapon dropped gets really stale and adds lots of time for every mission

Wonder what would happen with the EDF in space?

Can I just go back to the early missions and pretend we won

MODS WHEN?

IS THERE A ROOM UP?

I WANNA PLAY WITH YOU FAGS

Don't get me hyped for things that will never come user.

Outside of Mission 14, what other missions can I use to get some heavy firepower? I want to get armor and weapons but it keeps dropping dupes for the latter and not enough for the former.

That one that goes like this: Hectors > Shield Bearers > buges > drones > hectors.
A pain to get all the boxes if you're not fencer or wing diver though

>soldier starts to sing the one starting with "Two days ago my brother died next day my lover fell"
>They instead start to sing the one starting with "A legendary hero will soon lead us to glory" as the mission ends and i proceed to the final mission.

modders please let it happen

So, are you actually supposed to be grinding for weapons and armor? Because, if so, that would explain why I've hit the wall so early.

If you want to do your entire first playthrough on hard you'll probably need to grind some.
On normal it's not needed

Ah, so I just suck. Good to know.

If you ever need a small boost just do mission 14 on hard/hardest

You could also just be getting unlucky, some weapons are absolute trash while others are just absurdly good. The odds you'd get only trash drops are pretty low though.

The one with the Hectors and ships? Forget it- the giant robots are impossible for me on Normal. I don't want to think about what they'd do to me on anything above that.

After EDF2017 and 4.1, I have to question the planet's fear. If I, a lone soldier on the ground, can shotgun alien drones out of the sky and cleanse the earth of these sneaky bugs, why are the ravagers considered a threat?? They have to be the weakest aliens ever.

Just recruit all the NPCs and you'll be fine.
If you're ranger, recruit them and keep rolling away to the health boosts(will heal them too if you're range)
If you're air raider, drop guard/powerposts, heavy bunkers or turrets
Wing Diver, just get a long range weapon(thunderbows are good)
Fencer, get one of the missile-launchers with lock on

Also, mission 14 only has hectors and flying drones

in EDF the entire world is japan and thus noguns

Is that that Assault mission? It's quite long but I do remember getting a lot of armor from it.

It's not feasible for earth to manufacture that much alien technology, that's why in the game you're winning, but only in skirmishes. The major battle is being lost. Which is why halfway through the game, 50% of the population is dead.

in single player inferno it's possible for the edf to actually finish the mission by themselves as long as you don't pull aggro and get yourself killed. This doesn't work in multi due to the increased hp tho

This fills me with joy.

Is there any trick to not getting upset when things inevitably go pear-shaped? Because that seems to be my major obstacle to enjoying the game at present- I look at all the glorious carnage going on at any given time and know that I should be reveling in it, but instead I'm cringing behind cover and trying to work out whether or not to restart.

Speaking of shields, I learned you can use a shield to cancel-boost by using the secondary, useful in rooms where stuff like the javelin catapult is too high level, or when you don't want to waste an entire inventory slot, but the javelin cancels faster.

you git gud
What class do you use?I could give you some advice

Why did you need to remind me user?
Why did you need to remind me that almost all members of the best chapter are dead because of an ork invasion.

How, though? If there's a trick to it, tell me- I'm sick of being unable to tolerate- let alone enjoy- even a slight challenge from my games.


Ranger, mostly, but I wasn't aware that we were supposed to stick with one class.

You stick with one class for awhile to get weapons and build up armor. The way I did it, and its an admittedly long way, is play each class on every mission on normal, that'd get you a respectable amount of armor and a full suite of equipment for any situation and you're ready to hit on hard and beyond with any class.

Shield canceling is also amazing against hectors or other large, non-swarming targets because the dash dodges half their shots and the shield cancel reflects the other half back at them.

4u

...

I honestly think these things are the hardest enemies to deal with in the game next to machine gun hectors.

Thought of doing that myself early on, actually, but it sounded like taking the easy way out.

...

Have you tried not being a bitch

Would you like to know more?

And whats the hard way? doing endgame missions with beginner gear and handicapped armor?

The easy way out is playing in easy mode.

Trying to find out how.

yes please idea user

They literally fucking recoil so hard that they cant hit you if you use assault rifles on them

I know that, but there have been instances I have been caught off guard trying to deal with other shit.

AT LAST I TRULY SEE

...

The problem with the laser chainsaw, is that it's the best weapon on hard. You will never switch it for something else once you get it. The chainsaw gets stale after playing 30+ missions, but nothing is as good outside of cave missions.

...

Idunn is better, as is any rapier thrust.

Eventually, you will be able to kill godzilla without using a vehicle.

I killed one with the Vulcan hammers as fencer, solo

What makes Hardest better than Inferno? Is Inferno just meme-tier levels of "hard for the wrong reasons," but still fun because
IT'S MOTHERFUCKING EDF NIGGER, OF COURSE IT'S FUN

Also, any Vitafags have EDF2 or 2017 Portable?

Hardest is difficult enough that you have to play well but not so difficult you can't fuck around with loadouts. Inferno is you bring the best weapon and you play the best you can or you get shit on endlessly.

EDF2 is fun, but aside from night maps and slightly different if functionally identical ravagers there's really no reason to play it now that 4.1 doesn't require buying a PS4.

For what it's worth, that mission's where you pretty much NEED to go online and get help. At least if you're a Ranger___ without DLC weapons. Just come back to it later.

Speaking of roadblock missions, I remember reading that Mission 1 was hard as balls for when you first started on Normal, and the hardest one until like Mission 11-14-ish. It's probably in this thread and I just can't find it. How was it hard?

...

Why would 4.1 on PC make EDF2 obsolete?

Me…sometimes.
Will post here if I make a room

Or you can change steam region to play with the burgers

I played that mission solo on hard with a barely upgraded Air Raider.

That was that "Armored Core but you customize boats" game for Playstation 1 or 2, right? I don't get the reference.

Because mechanically and even story-wise they're basically identical and 2's biggest issues at least for me were some performance problems with certain weapons and the controls being painful after longer missions. 4.1 on PC solves both those issues. I guess 2's not entirely obsolete because I could still play it around the house or outside, but I don't really do that all that often.

Or we just want fun weapons that do cool shit. Someone's made a "this is bait" pic related to EDF, right?

you've not gotten the ZE-GUN or ZER-GUN ? they're like level 5 and 16

Huh, interesting to know. Now I want to try them before I finish off Wing Diver. I would either way but muh impatience


Good trips and good post. The portability works well with my job so weee!

How about 2017 Portable?

XCOM aliens would soil their pants

Don't you mean "ATATATATATATATATATATATA"

Goes a bit farther than that since you have basically a full blueprint system but yeah kinda.

The user I was responding to was talking about navy battles which immediately made me think about WG (also helps that the game itself has a few similarity with EDF to begin with) and how mindblowing a game mixing the two franchise would be.

meant for

Oh my god I am now ordering this game even though I'll need a PS2. This sounds rad as FUCK.

I thought there was a tentacle fight or something in there lel

Because EDF2 is just as grind heavy and noone wants to grind out for a mechanically inferior version of what is basically an identical game, save for levels and story.

I'd still get an EDF 2017 pc port just for the story, seeing as how its only been released on platforms that aren't easy to emulate.

I prefer to use force blades, but maybe thats just cause I'm a melee junkie.

If you duel wield them you can constantly use a charge attack, which has a great AOE, if you dash after each attack you can usually dodge most projectiles.

Isn't that enough?

I'm guessing no one here played 2017 Portable, then. Should I chance it and buy it?

It's fun. When I got it online was absolutely dead so I'm sure that hasn't gotten much better. There are only 2 classes iirc which are the ranger and the wing diver (that you unlock later).

Scale is a lot less than 4.1 in both monsters and EDF soldiers around. Range of weapons and vehicles are much smaller as well.

Get it on sale if you really want to. You're not missing out on much storywise. Aliens come and we fight.

Getting tired of switching to wing diver whenever the hard times come around.

For me it's the opposite, whenever i hit a wall i just go ranger.

Powerful weapons + flying = murder.
You're out of reach of most enemies

Sounds like wing diver is your preferred class.

As for me, I can't cope with the power generator restrictions and I prefer fencer with ranger as a close second, and I'm proficient with the air raider, trying to improve my fire support grenade precision.

It is only natural. They're the goddesses of victory, after all. They're the natural enemies of giant insects.

The fact giant insects can't fly make it a lot easier for wing diver.

ok , looks like i did something wrong since my game not crash at startup. twice

1st

then:

and now i feel like a retard for being the only one failling

Yeah the codex one didn't work for me either. However fitgirl repack did (for me at least)

Why are you trying to mix two cracks into one game you nonce? Pick one and roll with it.
SSE is a bit more dead, but it works fine if you just want to play with people from the thread.

well i m not, i also found it stupid that why i did a fresh reinstal without copying CODEX crack .

i m just interested with the online feature because user said>>10186590

Anons I have some terrible news for you, giant insects can fly

Shopped

That's impossible!

I wonder if it's possible to mod in an ACU from Supreme Commander and allow for base building?

Post YFW Fatboy spam Ravagers out of existence

pfft, that would imply progress faster than science

No, you nog. I mean the two different files in>>10188345 and

Do a fresh install WITH the crack like you would do with any game and then apply either the Revolt thing or the SSE.

ok so i apply revolt and it doesnt work. i guess it s due to my version then.


made me think revolt was something to apply to SSE

Remember that with the revolt fix you need to extract everything in the zip file. Even the nfo and url files. You also need to run steam before running the game.

FAKE AND GAY

wouldn t running steam create issue with my steam account ?

will it work if i just open steamLite with a fake account (use to play cracked version of Tales of Zestiria)

I haven't had a problem with it, I used it for Dark Souls 3 as well without issue. I don't know if it works with SteamLite, but you can always make a dummy steam account and log into that. It just needs steam to be running.

Or just use the SSE if that fails.

More of you should buy the game. Need more lobbies. Also this is one of the last of a dying breed, a fun arcade style cooperative third person action game with solid gameplay.

I would if I had the dosh. Sadly, I don't.

Buy it for me and I will play online.

You assume that every person who buys is gonna play online.

fucking sticky sage

Yurop VDF room up

Why am I playing this game?! It's shit! I hate it! Everything about it is bad. Yet, I cant stop playing.

You made me do it. You should be ashamed of your selves.

If you really hated it you wouldn't play it, so you only got yourself to blame.

^this . i don t have any sheckles to spare right now.

that said i bought Starpoint gemini warlord a -33% a couple of days ago but it was more than 3 time cheaper

I just wish there was a good game that scratched the same itch.

So how do you win mission 77 "monster party" on hard with a wing-diver? I do not have enough dakka to deal with the absolute metric shit-ton of dragons that will come with the second reinforcement wave.

Well of course. You can never have enough dakka.

What is best class and why is it Wing Diver?

I actually had a dream where the dragons were replaced by cliff racers, needless to say I woke up pretty sweaty

STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM ME YOU LITTLE FAGGOT

Fuck these things.

...

What is the deal with weapon drops? I cant even get anything above level 20. I finished the game and played missions 2 on every difficulty level. I just finished an inferno one and all I got was a level 0 and a level 5 weapon.

Different missions have different drops, based on difficulty level. Higher level and later missions are better than easy early missions. It's possible to get shit weapons on high difficulties, it's just luck based. Here's a drop chart, you can choose English from the top left drop down box.

weapon.edf.jpn.com/4-1/?p=r

Whoever makes the OP for the next thread should probably include this link.

There's a lot of weapons that spawn on just about everything except hard mode. What's up with that?

No idea, but it definitely is odd. It seems like it's just the first bit of weapons that are missing. I think they're replaced by their direct upgrades on hard mode, perhaps to quickly improve a new player's arsenal.

I want to kill sandworms.

Just got the trap, after restarting with an appropriate loadout I survived the mission with almost all my allies alive. It felt great, life stations and guard posts make your friends nigh invulnerable.

I haven't played the ranger yet.

Honestly when you have jetpacks, power armor, and fucking MECHA on the menu I just can't bring myself to play a grunt.

Also my explosions are still weird.

Is it just me or are Particle Cannons complete ass?

it depend of your preference

still i don t see why anyone would play ranger . i dont see any advantage in this class whereass all other have advantage and weakness.

fencer is powerfull but awfully slow if you dont use a lance to be abble to dash cancel(lance> shield since it s a weapon who can One Shot or simply damage the bugs)

wing diver is basicly a jetpack unit . weak but fast with high dps (due to hight mobility and dps it may be the easiest of all class)

air raider is basicly : summon tanks and air support to devastate everything in large AoE.


tl;dr
fencer = star wars's dark trooper
wing diver = Attack on the titant female version.
air raider = webm.land/media/Wb0s.webm ²
ranger = starship trooper

² i get "invalid webm uploaded everytime so fuck it

this webm is so strange, direct upload to Holla Forums fails, and direct link too but else :
webm.land/w/Wb0s/
it play normaly …


are you preparing a fanfic or what ?

Ranger's advantage is that he has no disadvantage. You're mobile enough to avoid just about everything, defensive enough to take the hits you don't avoid, have a wide range of weaponry to handle any situation, and can drive anything an air raider happens to call down. You don't have to worry about anything like managing energy or getting kills to reload your good stuff.

...

While 68 more health is not to be sniffed at, boy am I suffering a blasted ass right now.

I tried to beat that beach mission on hardest, and inferno with my fencer for an hour, with 20 weapon pickups, almost done. I got overwhelmed by leftover bugs, around 20 I think. And once when I was almost done, with high weapon crate rate, friendly passed just in front of my artillery cannon of 2000 damage and all that shit was gone again. Makes me rage, makes me mad.

>sometimes when i'm playing with pubs i'm literally holding the team together and help out where needed, usually react first though knowing the maps helps a lot.
I dunno i enjoy ranger too much, barely have any progress with air rider and played like 20 mins with air rider and fencer.
Though yeah, as you mentioned they "feel" like a grunt character but that just makes it better when you are kicking alien ass just as much as a jet pack lass, a living exo-skello-teen armor and a fucking tank or small mech.

I want to fuck a Wing Diver!

If you have some good vehicle drop then grind mission 2 on harder or inferno.
If you get the naegling D1 you are good to go. for farming inferno.

i have 20 mins with wing diver and fencer, damn i'm getting tired.

Also, the ranger class is Storm 1. Why wouldn't you play as that badass?

Ranger may be Babbies First Class but don't let that fool you. He's rock fucking solid; Air Raper needs kills to unlock his Good Shit, the Fencer is clunky unless you exploit (is it really? They'd have patched it out by now if the devs truly wanted it gone) and the Wing Diver requires careful energy management and shit.

Ranger? Guns. Good guns. Guns that can cover almost any situation. Guns he can bring to cover almost any situation. Good dodge, so unlike Air Raper he doesn't get stuck on barriers and shit. Always reasonably mobile. And he can heal the NPCs, useful in the attrition maps (I'm not far in, but already found myself wishing for a ranger in missions 11 and 13)

Rangers are fucking awesome.

Define 'good'. I'm pretty stacked with vehicles, so odds are I have the one you have in mind. Except the Naegling, I know I don't have that one.

Shit like this keeps happening and I both love it and hate it.

A drone ended up flying right above me as I was firing my 2500 damage missile that launches straight up. The results weren't pretty.

Naegling is good because it can fuck them up quickly.
Maybe try a nereid if you have a controller.
Basically you need something which has atleast a moderate fire-rate, good damage and has long range. lock on optinal but recommended, so you doN't have to get close.
Black ants should have their health somewhere between 5 hundred to 1 thousand on inferno so choose accordingly.

use canon when gatling reload

Yeah, I've done inferno a few times on mission 2 now.

Any wing diver player can tell me how to deal with the fucking blue drones ?
Their stupid laser lock me in the air and that mean death, any way to counter this shit ?

medium laser or lightning and a metric fuckton of awareness and hope. A sniper of some sort is good too for taking out any outside of your normal range, but can be expensive and shouldn't be relied upon as your primary way of dealing with em.

Will try some medium range weapon even if I don't like them that much. I don't know about other wind divers players but I find it the most difficult ennemy in the game to fight, the fact most of the time you can't dodge their laser is really a pain.

Are those the standard drones that show up in the first missions with the spooky aliens? Just Idunn them.

No if I remember well you meet those drones at the same time as the earth eater. Those drones are blue and shoot a pink laser at you if they are close enough.

No not really, since my Fencer's colors resembled Star Platinum at the time.

Their laser has a pretty short range if I recall correctly.

Maintain distance and hit them with mid/long range weaponry.

I treat the wing diver as a high mobility sniper. It takes a long time to finish a level this way, but you are guaranteed to finish it.

As much as I love the idea of the fencer, the further I get even on normal mode the harder it is to get fucking ANYTHING done. I don't want to shelf the power armor but even goddamn ants are a serious threat. On top of being forced to use certain weapons if you want ANY mobility.

MOD TO REPLACE "EDF! EDF!" WITH "YE YE, YE" WHEN

Hand cannons have piercing so they're just too good to not use I feel. Enough range to hit transport ship weakspots/snipe hectors. Very good damage. If you're with the latest one for your difficulty then you'll oneshot bugs. Having 2 of them and firing them at the same time gives you a very fast area of death.

What the fuck

That's the DLCecoy

Apart from the powerdyne rape gun which I've been using as a crutch I have only noticed explosive hand cannons.

I relied on them for a while but I've taken to duo wielding gatlings and switching to either duo powerdynes or powerdyne/that 500 damage mega hand cannon.

Just got myself a spear and it's really nice. I like the boregun, you can punch hectors in the dick with them.

Good fucking ==GOD==

I am so hard right now.

Even if the last 5 minutes was B team and I stomping after the Mutant as it kept getting knocked back across the entire map

Time for a break I guess.

I need to log back in and figure out what that weapon was called

...

The DLC decoys are from another game from the publisher, D3, some stupid g-rated brothel sim called Dream Club.


You can actually damage the erginisus on foot, but they have some 100k health or so, but it makes the difference between your guys getting wrecked or winning.

I remember fighting erginises solo with the vulcan hammers on normal, since while your in the swing of a vibro hammer it acts like you're blocking with a shield and take reduced damage with knockback immunity. With two hammers you can keep the effect up indefinitely, my favorite playstyle is to grab two hammers get into the thick of it and go ham.
