Am I the only asshole that does objectives preemptively?

I think so, cuz I never see anyone else doing it.

If you recognize what mission you’re doing, look for ways to do objectives early.

For example, there’s plenty of destructible objectives like radar beacons, computers, generators, etc… you can destroy these before it’s necessary to, saving a ton of time, and sparing yourself the pain and frustration of relying on others.

Theres also NPCs out in the open ready to be killed before they need to be. While your fellow spuds are eating crayons and digging through dirt in the train wreck, go to where the group of npcs are and take them out early. If you know what’s next, think about getting a head start on it.

No, fireteam missions aren’t too short already. I won’t be happy until we just do a flyby in the chopper and collect our xp.

apparently as when we brought this up with OKH he literally responded with

“Honestly, not familiar with this issue. I mean, TBH, I’ve been grinding since the new year on some data (done today woo), but I can’t recall reports of this crossing my plate. Do you have a video or some more data you can share?”

We really need to submit a video to the Devs a team speed running a mission.
Maybe then they’ll rework the missions.

Ya I do that too.

There’s one mission on Overgrowth with the solar generators, you have to place three items, hold an area, then destroy 3 gens, and they can take a lot of punishment.

But they can be destroyed ahead time like you said but there’s more.

The Hammerheads grenade launcher (so no draw back with having to waste frags, or use the grenade launcher weapon) can put the gens on fire in one shot.

Once the gens are on fire they take continuous damage and destroy themselves for free at the cost of three hammerhead grenades…

It’s beautiful and disgusting all at once. A true work of art.

One could also use the plasma prototype and have the same effect, “1 mag”= 1 completely destroyed gen

Didn’t count how many shots it took to just set the gen on fire.

Ya but then you have to deal with bad DPS and projectile. Plus The Hammerhead is older so I’m used to using it already.

Not that the prototype is bad just not my preference.

The Prototype and other projectile weapons(including the mini-gun) are mainly good for putting the pressure on and flushing out the predator.
They’re also good weapons for gaining the Predator’s attention.

Damn good info on continuous damage, I’ve wasted too much ammo on those generators…

I’ll make a clip if I get the opportunity soon.

I used to use the prototype a lot until I realized, as the predator, it’s all bark and no bite lol. Thought I was doing damage but in reality it just spooks the predator.

I cant comment on the objectives, but I would say the asshole part is accurate 👍🏻😄
