Outriders |OT| Hold Me Closer, Technomancer
- Thread starter shawnoftheshred
- Start date
- OT
Early on as a Pyromancer put your faith in Thermal Bomb. Wear gear that lets you use it multiple times, expand the range (available on purple gear mods) and up the damage. Heatwave groups as they run up to you, then Bomb one and stay close to it so enemies cluster in range.
What to pick?
I don't use shotguns so the firt one is out (but damn, making enemies float for 5s sounds silly fun with a 1s cooldown). Snipers I use a lot, so spawning a cluster of bombs on crits and also all shots exploding sounds pretty decent. But the LMG's singularity and ash combo has to be effective, just that 6s cooldown. I dunno, I can do a lot of damage safely with any sniper, but that LMG would make sweatier encounters a bit less stressful.

I think there's a keypress on PC from what I was reading, but I play on console and there's no button press I know of to force it.
Can't you re-run the quest and pick another reward? Or is this from something special?What to pick?

Been completely dead since yesterday afternoon, previously I could get a match after 5 or so failures but now nothing.
Just hit 22, the Technomancer's last skill is hilariously OP for where I am atm
I don't think so, it seemed like a one off. I'll certainly try, but it seemed far too easy to get through to be handing them out that cheaply.
I was feeling super op at WT8, and then I took two bounties that readily handed my ass to me, several times. Jeez.
Guess I have to go back to optimising my gear.
One thing is a little confusing though.
The firepower on gear and the way it translates to bonus dmg isn't very clear, I switched a gear piece for something with higher bonus firepower and my bonus damage went down.

Here's a small tip, not sure how well known it might be. If you're given the option to choose a reward it seems you can quit the game, rejoin and you'll get rerolled items. Not the items themselves, or the perks either, but firepower and the small stats in the white box.
Realised my xbox had put the game in suspend mode (or maybe it was me when I shared a screen shot). When I got back into the game I was worried the weapons offered would be lost, but they were all there with the same mods when I spoke to the quest giver - phew. But the perks and stats were re-rolled. The level was still 28 and the mods were the same, but firepower was wildly different (15% lower on sniper, 20% higher on shotty, marginally more on LMG). Small stats in the white box were different values but same categories (think they are fixed on legendaries) but pretty much in the same brackets. So if you're offered something nice with a disappointing firepower stat, might be worth the hassle of a reload. Or not if you CBA lol.

The game quitting in the middle of a boss fight because you lose connection somehow while playing solo is enough for me to walk away
It's down for everyone I think.
The absolute worst aspect of this game, it's hard to see why it needs the connection if you're playing on your own. Very annoying.

How long does the PC-console cross-play desync bug take to rear its head? I'm catching up with a couple of mates tomorrow, one of whom owns an X1, so I'm thinking we can take turns playing co-op, but if the desync happens every other minute rather than, say, every 30 or whatever, then it won't be worth the trouble.
this just happened to me, i'm gonna be pissed if this "killed" me and i lost WT and LVL exp though :(
After having played this for a few hours Square needs to offer offline play for the game. There's really no need to have this be 100% online.
Anyone getting any cannot connect to server errors on Xbox? I have the series S
edit: nevermind lol

FFS, was just in the middle of a boss fight and the game kicks me off because the servers are down. That has happened two times now. It's soo frustrating
Yeah I've been trying all day but no success at all. Hope they fix these issues soon
My brother and I tried a few times lastnight (series x to pc) and we could only stay together in the lobby screen. Before the map would even finish loading someone would get kicked. It's literally unplayable unfortunately.
There's no real need for this game to be online only.
What a mess.
Yesterday i lost progression because it didn't save propperly. Despite me even going back to base. And it kicked me out every few minutes.
Today it kicks me out right after I killed a boss. Hopefully my stuff is there...

Bah. :( Cheers. Maybe I'll use that as an excuse to snap up It Takes Two (no cross-play, of course, but we can connect my laptop to the TV and do the Friend Pass thing).
Wanted to finally start playing this, and the servers are down, great! Fantastic first impression!
It's so stupid that I can't play this solo when I want to. If the servers are down, tough s*** I guess.
Online games with servers offline tends to be unplayable, yes
kicked out after a long mission - do I at least keep the xp when the game is up again? or lose the entire mission XP/items
I'm only level 11 or so, just finished up all the quests and side quests in the second major map/area of the game. I have all blues equipped and one of my assault rifles is insane and does this plasma explosion on hit.
Still early though, but I do see a lot of issues from the demo that persist and lots of others that have been fixed. I feel at times the game is super clunky and boring and other times is super exciting and gripping. I love the way different abilities harmonize and I love the weapon and skill variety. I'm playing fully solo (I played the demo with 2 friends) and I do miss that co-op fun that just comes with cooperative experiences for sure.
One annoyance for me has to be the marksmen/sniper enemies. They don't give you enough time in solo to pop out of cover with your sniper and hit them, instead they snipe you and push you back out of cover. They're a little OP. In co-op I imagine they would be less annoying to deal with as they may be focused on one of the team mates rather than me who is sticking back with a sniper.
Does anyone have any good loadout (and skills) builds for the Trickster? I need to stop using a sniper for one as I know its a much closer range class but I'm not sure which skills suck. I also swapped Hunt the Prey for Twisted Rounds which may have been a bad choice but I have been able to rinse enemies stuck in my bubble with Twisted Rounds so I'm not sure.

Depends on the last checkpoint. Also if you were at the final checkpoint and rolled a good gun, it will be rerolled when you reconnect.
