Enemy Spawns

[djmhn]

Why do so many Enemies spawn during every mission?

Trying to play solo is basically pointless in most cases.

essentially, almost every mission boils down to;

run somewhere, press E on the keyboard for a second, and then run away.

But when 20+ enemies spawn right on top of or next to the thing you need to interact with, you can't interact with the object because you keep getting shot and trying to kill all 20+ enemies solo is either impossible or takes way to long to accomplish.

you have to "kill > run & hide > kill > run & hide > kill > run & hide" for 10-15 minutes straight....eventually I just get bored and give up....choosing instead to continuously die and respawn until I complete the objective, ignoring most enemies (unless I have to kill them as part of the objective)

I'm not saying make it too easy, and have only 2-3 enemies spawn....but the number that spawn now is too high....I should not be seeing that many red dots on my mini-map unless it's a pvp battle or a co-op match

You started playing recently didnt you?
I had the same problem at begin and now i think the game is way to easy.
With time you can handle all of them easly.

Get yourself an FRC or Frontier SAW(some vendors sell a generic slows nano one). Eventually get yourself as well a ground pounder. If you cannot have those then have high/fast as possible damage weapons and with the syphon nano effect(damages mobs and heals you).

Set your perks for defensive settings so that you are more able to handle mobs. Overcharge for your main ability if you want to dish on them before you, or cloak if you want to hide or blur if you want to run the heck outa there or decoy if you want them to hit on it while you run/hit them. Choose based on your weapon setup and playstyle.

Get yourself a Respark (1100 range shield)or a rebel(1400 range shield): recharge starts in 3 sec or less with respark giving you 40% per sec and rebel 10%.

Learn how to dodge roll to remove nano effects on you faster and to avoid certain timed attacks.
Learn how to use terrain and objects around you to duck behind to heal up.

You should be more than fine then with all that.

Death is a learning tool and penalty of inconvenience, nothing more. You only lose 180 scrip on each respawn from death which is nothing.

Once you play a bit and realize how amazingly dumb the AI is, you'll wish there was more stuff to shoot at.

Fortunately the friendly AI is just as dumb so it is easy to get them killed so they stop "helping" you. I just wish you could shoot them in the mouth to stop there pathetic cries for help when they go down.

I didn't play shooters before, the best thing I ever got was cloak because most of the enemies it's like an aggro drop once you go inviisble...

Decoy is pretty helpful too. Yeah it seems crazy hard at the start and then it gets ok.

I played in Alpha...it was worse then and even more bugged

and, while most of you ARE posting helpful hints and advice...

the fact remains that there is no reason for so many mobs to spawn at one location during a single mission.....

I recently had a solo mission where 4 Elite Blasters and 2 Tankers came out and attacked at the same time...with a small handful of regular mobs...........there is no need for that

(and of course both tankers stood right on top of the guy that I needed to escort/defend and the Blasters stood far back and shot rockets.... mission was a ***** to finish)


EDIT: I find it hilarious that the forums are censored, when the game contains numerous uses of various curse words, including "the F word"
