If you are dying a lot in PvE then you are likely just playing run-and-gun style - "Look Ma! I is shoots dem der bad guys!! *pew pew pew*", or perhaps you are not handling your chosen weapon well - recoil of some weapons is a big factor.
Obvious tips:
- Don't rush into the middle of groups of enemies. Take position near cover so you don't get hit by everything around you.
- Keep an eye on your minimap to make sure you are not getting flanked by red dots.
- If you are taking a lot of hits, move to cover while you regenerate... lob a grenade to buy time.
- Prioritize your targets - don't hammer on a tanker if there are other enemies still on you.
Like others have said, if you play with half-good strategy this game is pretty easy to progress through. The only real challenges I encountered was the end-game boss (I died once), and some patches of the San Francisco where the snipers can mess you up quick. And pvp... I suck at that, but mainly because I haven't figured out the right strategy.
Killing them off from a distance with your high powered repeater can be glorifying, however there is a reason we use the "ATL" button. This game does require some skill base, standing still and just shooting at "The Motherload" will only get you squished. Due to the recent 1.012 patch this game became more of a FFA then an MMO.
the only weapon i agree with is the missle launcher to little ammo of damage that's lower then a grenade launcher
get a heavy carb .... toss that Blast rifle ... don't just use one weapon simply because you like it that's silly talk ..... sorry
I wish that you could find a type of AR that you like and its DPS-AMMO usage was all pretty equal in the AR group but sadly not my heavy carbine dose 476 damage 30 rounds as a single shot, the blast rifles have 40 damage and 45-60 rounds that damage to ammo ratio dosnt play out no matter what sense the crit an acc are so close
LMAO? seriously? how are you have that much trouble? Don't hate on Trion for you own lack of skill there is no reason you should take 30min to kill a pack of 99'ers even if they have gold rushers(which btw die extremely fast even with their rage active if you know how to shoot your gun) and constantly die and have to run/drive back from extraction points. They got their shtako in order its you who needs to get your shtako in order...not the games fault.
Also there is a dodge function as well ya know? Just saying...
There are very few weak weapons systems in this game. You need to pick your perks accordingly. You need to shoot the head. You need to adapt to the situation based upon the kind of enemy your fighting. And last but not least, you need to remember this is a FPS, if you don't hit your target for whatever reason your not doing damage. This is not a highlight your enemy and mindlessly spam a attack key and do damage type of game.
Adapt or die, that is all.
