So I realized that I got some points to “buy” the new companion armor blueprints.
Got about 3/4 unlocked and then did I check what’s needed to craft any of them.
Who was planning for this?
For the 4C level Stealth armor you’ll need 44 Ethanol and for the Aggressive one 3 Refined Tungsten alloy! Seriously?
So first we have to grind the material in the new base defense to craft it and then it will get damaged without possibility of repair, as before, so we have to grind more material over and over to craft new armor? The Aggressive Threat Plate Armor is for sure going to be a PITA to use.
Didnt realized that!
What a waste of time and resources.
Specially considering that even if the Companion survives most of the time the armor will certainly not.
Atleast the stealth armor seem to work, my companion gets mostly ignored now. I am not even gonna try the “tank armor”, the companion is way to squishy to draw aggro and the armor way too expensive
Indeed.
This armor should have been the cheapest of all, as the companion won’t survive long in this mode.
Yes, it keeps the machines away from us… But for what cost for these few seconds?
I would just use the companion dlc armor if you have it, easier to craft and works great, especially the concussive plate. Everything added in the last update is impossible to craft, but luckily none of the dlc crafting recipes were changed
We’re playing with the idea that it was real, and you’re going to decoy (sacrifice) your mechanical companion, that you will be able to rebuild. What are you doing?
Welding or bolting on some cheap steel plates and throwing on a cowbell? I would if it was enough.
Definitely don’t waste precious resources and time on some alloy that is going to be blown to pieces and also not repairable.
i crafted a single stealth armor for my companion but the robots still shoot at him, lasted maybe 5 mins i guess another few rounds of base defense for another one , I’ll just stick with one of the others armor
The Companion’s worth is suspect to say the least. The best weapon that it can carry is a missile launcher, and it misses half the time with that. While its carry weight is noteworthy, that’s more than offset by the fact that it squawks repeatedly and hums continuously, making it all but impossible to hear anything. Admittedly- on Skirmish and Adventure modes, that’s no big. On Guerrilla mode, that’s a significant factor.
Its useful as a distraction and its fun to watch it attack other runners.
But its no match against tanks and harversters…or worst firebirds.
It actually survives more than i expected (playing in skirmish mode)
Some of the armors serve for something…however, im not going to lose time making these latest armors that require extensive number or new rare resources.
