Maybe I'm super late to this, but they are now my favorite grenade. I've saved my fellow FBs from near death many times now, with a well timed throw; at a distance mind you.
Seeing their empty health bar pop back up to full is an awesome feeling. That and you can easily tank the Hiss or just get out of a pinch with a toss at the feet.
Until everyone is close enough to escape in time. Lately I've been running missions with people who seem to want to rush the mission quick as possible, that includes rushing to call in the elevator.
A timer will set after a certain period, and if everyone doesn't escape, it's a MIA wipe for everyone who wasn't in the elevator when the switch was activated. That means no earned resources and wasted time.
Also, they literally have a sticky note telling you which direction the lever goes to leave. We are still somehow confused by this, and I'm seeing level 100+ who somehow still don't understand the concept.
Up. The lever goes up.
I realize my thread has been up for a year, and I just got to updating it, still a work in progress but if you're new to the game, you'll find a lot of information here for the current version. I try to keep it updated with each update.
So I haven't played the game in awhile, switched over to PS5, decided to get back into it. For those who want to reach the high waves, I don't recommend it, stop at 40 or less. I got nothing for completing 100 waves (pic says 95, took 100 to officially down them) despite my time and kills, the game says I completed 0 waves and even said my levels were 0.
How did I succeed? The host somehow existed in the game despite not being active, they were immortal. So no matter how many times I died, they couldn't take damage.
It wasn't until I directed the enemies to hit me, which in turn somehow still hit the other player who was and wasn't in the game anymore? Anywho, getting them to down while downing me in the process officially registered the mission as over.
If you're reading this Remedy, you owe me some resources.
Edit: Just to clarify, you must be standing next to the disconnected host, Demolitionists, Sharpeners, and the flying explosive hiss do the best job to injure the host. Just be sure everyone downs before the timer.
