you strike musical gold once this starts playing on an on site refinery mission. The heavy clunks and bang of machinery as bullets fly is the best feeling ever.
This was the track that played on my first ever swarm and combined with the gunners "Eat Lead!!!" I was instantly hooked and haven't stopped loving this game since I picked it up with my friends
Me and my usual three man crew had a full blown greenbeard along. New guy never even looked at DRG, and dove in headfirst as an Engi. First mission is a normal Morkite run. nothing special. We got Pots o' Gold. Bet. So we are all hyped asf, well five minutes in.. I'm explaining to listen to everything. Suddenly I hear a low grumble. I'm like, "There's no way that a newbie's getting a bulk". Boyo we got a Crassus. So we're picking away at the gold, even MORE hyped and I'm just covering the tunnels. Suddenly the tide of bugs stops, and Mission Control comes over the comms... "Well that's not good, we have a Dreadnaught coming your way". I watch the beast breach, and this kicks on. Things went bad, and fast. No ammo, no nitra, and dread's at half health. We all go down save for the engi. The boyo proceeds to clutch it and get us back up, after finding nitra and getting TWO resupplies in. We now have a Haz-5 team.
Normal gameplay: Nice and methodical, thinking clever ways to reach resources and deal with Glyphids regularly This track hits: YEAH, ROCK AND STONE (insert constant stream of Lead Storm here)
When leagues of Votaan is released for Warhammer 40K and I make multiple questionable purchases, I’m going to first challenge the tyranid player in the group and play this throughout the game
So I've found something interesting about this song: It's a straight 4/4 groove, except with two 5/4 measures within each looped section. From the first loop, the first happens around 1:52, and the second around 2:09. It's really subtle, and can easily throw you off while listening. Edit: The first time it happens is actually around 0:38
its these moments where the resupply is right next to you and your buddies. all guns reloaded and ready, everyone is prepared to take on the horde. and before the swarm goes in, everyone yells out "ROCK AND STONE".
got the game at christmas, been playing it way too much, scout the entire time. Playing hazard three on the aquarq (big blue rocks, whatever they're called) mission, I had unlocked the m1000, gotten it the upgrades I wanted, along with a speedy double barrel and boomerang, with a 20 second cooldown power pick attack. Swarm starts, and around 0:48, I'm using my double barrel, pick axe, boomerang, and m1 in equal measure: shotgun when I want to one hit, m1 when I want to one hit web and acid spitters off the ceiling, boomerang when swarmers pile up, and my pick when all else fails, constantly grappling away from fights and into other ones just like the last, hip firing prae shells to break their armor for my team mates (I take the armor breaking upgrade on the m1). This part of the song has an almost goofy sound to it, while also being hype, and was perfect for the mood. This soundrack is awesome, though sometimes I turn down the music volume and play ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PCZjnuS6ESc.html in the background instead
Have you ever truly lived until you've popped yourself into the air with the grapple, tossed a pheromone grenade and then nuked the resulting dogpile with a Bosco rocket, all with this in the background?
First time I heard this one, I was doing a refinery mission. Grinding on rails blasting my flamethrower at anything that isn’t bipedal, jumping around to revive fallen homies, getting revived myself, shit made me a lifelong fan on this game. Rock and Stone brother, Rock and Stone.
"DIIIIIIIE!" "LIGHTS UP!" "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT, YA SLIPPERY SHIT?" "SKULLCRUSHER" "Sorry bug, your own fault for being full o-" "ROCK AND STONE!" "DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?" "LET'S ROCK AND STONE" "The wave is thinning out"
When I hear this my turret refilling goes into maximum overdrive I one shot the rival companies drones with my pickaxe and I speed around going much faster than normal using my smart rifle to maximum effect and turning on boost mode on my Shard deffractor while on the drill doser because I realized it only said I had to stand still not that I couldn’t be moving.
Anyone got any tips on how to deal with Dreadnoughts? I usually run in circles around in a room with pillars (or around the drill pod), while I refill my sentry guns standing on both sides of the room and if I have a firing chance myself, I order Bosco to fire rockets in the hopes that its shield goes down for those few seconds I can shoot. But 90% of the time is just running circles XD.
More often than not, it's much easier with the team, since you can have one of you distract the dreadnought while the other shoots it in the ass. It's still running around, but at very least you should have better access to its tuches. Plus it's much easier for you to reload sentries or resupply when Dreadnought is chasing someone else. In singleplayer, I guess running in circles is your best bet. There's an animation that plays ONLY in solo play, where Dreadnought stands still and roars - that's a good opportunity to go behind and slap its butt a few times with your bullets. Take something with armor break, if you can, so that you can break the shell around the weak spot quicker.
Had this play during an industrial sabotage during the caretaker boss fight. It was complete chaos with exploders constantly flushing us out of cover. Then during phase 2 one of the tentacles slammed through our cover exposing us and forcing us to retreat to another area. Most fun I had in a while.
