tomovka Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 So guys i hava speciall anti reticulan team with 6 4x weps drones, all with gatlings, and it makes a soft reticulan-guts raining over the map. BUT my worst problem is that i must go with atleast one non-AI guy, and he is always getting almost instakill. i have very fast drones but before they get to dat reticulans my humanoid is already dead. Do you know any way to protect from dat annoying psionic damage? your answers will help me a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 There is an item to cover you from psionics (note - it doesn't make you immune). You can also take the rebel grey I think (unless you didn't kill them or at war with them too) - he will be harder to kill too. If it must be human - best it would be medic with Toughness II so he can stay an heal himself when the HP is only red. The Gatling drones for expedition is no big secret - I would suggest add 1 turtle as some mission may contain mines. Plus you send turtle as fast as possible so the greys will focus him.

NoXTheRoXStaR Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 How's the conversation with the 3 year old going, Silencer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Come on, Silencer is helping someone with a problem... I'm glad we still have people remembering the mechanics of these games -I've mostly forgotten it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 you mean that cloak? No I meant Psi Absorber. Cloak will do nothing against reticulans - it is only effective against Martians and robots. And like I said - use medic with Toughness II perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomovka Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 okay, thanks i dont have them researched yet and do you have some good tactics vs matriarchs? now i got missinons where are about 6 of them, and even i got full bags of rockets and 4-rocketdrone i still get my squad wiped by them... ( they always jump on me all at once, also tried splitting them with armored drone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 6xGatling Gun + the heaviest heavy suit you have - works good - also human plasma rifles are nice vs them. You can use a sniper and try aim to their legs which will knock them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomovka Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Well it works not so great cuz with gatlings i need to rush them almost in melee to have more than 5% hit :/.... my top suit is heavy batte... dat shotguns wrecks me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 It works fine for me - just spray and pray. With Gatling you don't have to worry about high acc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERISS Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Against Matriarch I had a runner with laser saber: often the Matriarch die in one shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmagine Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Upgraded laser rifles 2 shot matriarchs, even on impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I think human plasma rifles two shot Matriarchs and not Lasers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmagine Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Fully upgraded laser rifles on big shot do as well. Look at the "mistress" armor. https://www.irodemine.com/afterlit/Equipment.php They have very poor laser resistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Then what type of damage plasma do? And I think plasma rifles are more accurate than laser canons. By the way - this site all now needs is good CSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmagine Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'd do some css for it if it was popular enough. But my link to it hasn't even gotten a reply lol. I believe plasma does laser damage, and yes they are more accurate than laser rifles. (Laser cannons can 2 shot them as well, but I was referring to laser rifles fully upgraded on big shot). If I do anything else with the site, it will probably be to add weapon profiles, and the ability to comment on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laclongquan Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 After a long period I return to the game again. The Expedition bases (asscrea) hit me with mind controlling ret on top and our team on the tunnel... cant figure out a way to get past, because they are spawned near the edge of the map. Their range cover our running radius so running doesnt escape... I figure we meet this mission too early. I dont have psi absorber, also doesnt research battle drones yet. So I reload earlier save and not headbutt this mission yet. EDIT: I leave the Asscrea get conquered by Beastmen and reconquer it, therefore avoiding tough battle with Expedition. Unfortunately, later on Asscrea still get attacked by EXP. This time it's a platoon of rocket launchers and mind controllers. I count at least 15. I blame that on my team of 7 with average level too high. And still forget to activate psi absorber tech... :scratch head: The combo of RL and mind control is a tough one to break. EDIT: A semi-counter is terrain and grenades. This time Asscrea is a big hill map. So we stuck 5 guys with full inventory of grenade on the other side of the hill crest, with a Major Leadership Supernatural charisma on this and a spare on this side to act as spotter AND bait. When we discover any in range we throw grenades at that target. Pity the explosions destroy quite a few item like rockets. Reference: average level of active squad is 17.5. Reticulan corpses are 21.
