Hellion is completely ridiculous.

"Kill the hellbugs" <---- don't listen to this advice. They reveal the weak spots on the crystals. I physically wish I could attack players who keep killing them and make the arkfalls last an extra ten minutes.

That is annoying but you're taking it a bit far don't you think? Just tell them not to in area chat.

Reading comprehension would help, this is the final arkfall event in the chain we are talking about, in the final event hellbugs do nothing to aid your cause.

And this is why I carry at least 1 of every weapon type in my inventory and utilize every loadout slot I have unlocked. Only when I've exhausted every last round, will I make an ammo dump run.

even then it is only the little skitterings, that die in one shot with a pistol that reveal the weak spots. Everthing else is fair game.

IMO, the ammo crates placements for Arkfalls are irrelevant and the devs did a nice job of giving players cool solutions to the "OMG ammo is far" problem:

1. You have a car. Drive.

2. You have virtual legs. Run.

3. Many have mentioned loadouts. Load em'

4. Best of all, if you have friends, you can fast travel to a town with ammo crates and "Go to Friend" to travel back. Just take turns fast traveling back and forth. (works best if your load times are not )

Yeah, phased ammo crates would be a nice to have, but there are plenty of bugs and other things I'd rather the devs work on like, Hellion Monarchs HP resetting preventing successful Arkfall encounters....

I can't even begin to explain to you how annoying it is to do 4-5 arkfalls (I don't know the exact amount) just to fight the Hellion and not have any means of ammunition to kill it. You really need to try and fight that thing if you don't know what I'm talking about. It's insane. Things go smoothly for the first few minutes (If you want to call 40 people running around and messed up audio smooth) and then everyone just runs out of ammo. You have monarchs, archers and warriors running around killing everyone while you can only fight back with a melee attack. It's so obnoxious. You die, you pay to resurrect, you finally get ammo, you go back to the Hellion, then you waste your ammo away and die just like you did last time. This could seriously be fixed if Hellbugs dropped ammo (I know that makes no sense) or if there was a nearby ammo supply at the arkfall, you know, one that's close so you don't have to jump into a vehicle and drive somewhere to go get some ammo. I know I'm being hard on a game that just officially released today, but still.

I dont really have that prob in arkfalls. I have 2 loadouts, and a few extra guns so I last longer ammo wise. I also try not to waste too much on the mobs. I usually just focus all on the monarchs because that is what will finish it. Not only that but I position myself to hit the weak spots, so it does more dmg rather than waste way more ammo and do less dmg. I drive to ammo, come back but can't say its posed a huge problem- nor have I died repeatably and even considered using melee against those mobs lol

Not all arkfalls are anywhere near ammo. The travel-to-ammo-to-friend thing would work once I manage to develop friends who play Defiance as often as I do.

Hellion itself, is fine. Once the arms on the main body come off, just shoot it. I managed the fatal blow once. Once...

[Maetrik]

Well they are ammo crates nearby every major arkfall last boss just letting you guys know.

[kajun mulisha]

i have done 5 arkfalls and in every one after doing each seperate one then getting the big final end one...there has been an ammo cache within walking distance of circle. so maybe op should pay attention to his mini map
