@@Ben-ew9eu Yo my bad, I didn't see your response! This mission is disabled for now, but the strat was essentially to drop far away from the evacuation location and grab aggro. Once the team has aggro, one person splits off to the evacuation area and takes care of the patrols / evacuates citizens while the other 3 keep enemies focused on them so all the drop ships drop on them. This way the evacuation area doesn't get over-run with enemies. 1 person evacuating, 3 drawing aggro, hence 1/3 split.
Never even gotten close to complete this mission type on helldive. After 5 minutes it basically feels like we're sending these poor citizens straight into a meat grinder, lol.
You always impress! I was absolutely someone that believed this mission to be impossible without the decoy strat (though I mostly play with only randoms, so I’ll keep telling myself that I’m not the problem)
I'm amazed seeing you and your team pull this off with a more direct approach. It was looking real close, especially at the 1 minute mark. Last time I did this with friends was on difficulty 7, using the decoy method, and it was after the factory striders were included, so it was crazy!
Not a moment to spare! Well done, gentlemen. This mission used to be the bane of my existence. I love the chaos though. Recently I started just being the resident smoke strat guy on these. Eagle smoke on the pathway between the two doors close to each other, orbital smoke to supplement during cool downs, and a prayer. Most of the time results in my pathing getting zero aggro while the rest of the team holds down the other side of the base. Has made 8-9 diffs feel easy when it works.
I was super hesitant to ever try it as I'm the same way, but the guys I regularly run with are pretty stuck in their builds and I like to experiment more when it's reasonable. I haven't used it much outside this mission type, but it can carry if someone knows what they're doing with it (and some luck, of course, sometimes the bots still drop on you even under the cover of smoke but that's just bad RNG generally)
i counted more or less 10! of those 4 legged monsters including that drop of 3 of them at the same time near the middle of the mission absolutely brutal
Thanks! No macros, I ended up making a tongue-in-cheek handcam video because people kept asking: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bY_Ep0taqkY.htmlsi=4TAr4z-fN3iS3zU4
