  • I’m super basic. I find it hard to switch away from the sickle, the prospect of infinite ammo is very strong. I want to use other weapons, I hate the look of the sickle, but every time I try I get a little frustrated with managing ammo and my reloading habits in other games make the ‘drop mag mechanic’ particularly punishing. I feel like its exceptionally accurate with (kB+m) and despite the spin up mechanic, I can put down heavier bots with 2-3 controlled headshots. You can kind of semi auto fire it if you tap the mouse. Too versatile for me to swap out.

    Love the grenade pistol secondary for clearing our fabricators and bug holes. Comes in handy for displacing scout striders in a pinch.

    Quasar cannon is also way too versatile of a weapon for me to leave behind. A fast traveling, hard hitting long range projectile with a straight trajectory? No ammo management? Forget about it. I’ve been playing with MGs more for bug missions, mind you.

    I use the light armour set that has a padded bonus because movement speed is addictive.

    For 40 minute missions and blitz, I tend to go Eagle airstrike (objective or crowd control), Orbital railcannon (heavy enemies in an emergency), bubble shield (am basic, I told you), and support weapon.

    For eradicate and defend high value whatever missions, I use the thick armour with the padded bonus (looks like a bulldozer from payday 2), mortar sentry, 380mm orbital barrage, eagle airstrike, maybe a support weapon.




  • I’d presume through the same mechanism leveraged for achievements:

    Timeline and Event Markers

    The Steam Timeline appears whenever you’re actively recording. Timeline-enhanced games generate event markers as relevant game events happen. Steam achievements and screenshots automatically create markers as well.

    ISVs can enhance this as desired:

    In addition to being able to record any game you’re playing, timeline-enhanced games are games that can proactively notify Steam when relevant events happen. These events are represented along the timeline with details specified by developers.

    I’d think this could have broader reach than nvidia highlights depending on how easy it is to work with.
