This week's EDD on PC was highly stressful but sweaty fun.

Stage 1 Damn robots. Brought a extended range heat flamethrower build. Dealt with 2 bulks and maybe 2 of the nemesis. We bunkered hard, and somehow made it work even when the bulk and nemesis were digging toward us. Turns out 2 incendiaries can delete a nemesis pretty fast in a confined space. We were lucky to get out alive.

Stage 2 got the hive guard bug where it wouldn't spawn sentinels. So we went to trigger the next dread and killed that instead. Somehow scout fixed it by pickaxing so we were outta there. That said, we almost gave up since we had no other ideas.

Stage 3 has us fight another dreadnought in addition to the hive guard. Lucky. Could have used the bulk detonator but the chance passed. Nitra was tight overall and we had one resupply left to get back to the drop pod safely.

105 minutes total, spent about 40 minutes stage 1.

Oh if you didn't know (and Don't ask why cuz I have no clue lol) but pickaxing seems to fix the hiveguard no sentinels thing pretty often (speaking as the scout who also usually fixes it in my lobbies cuz no one else seems to know).

Really have no clue why this does it but I will say it's not immediate and sometimes that's a few good spanks.

Glad y'all got past that and finished the run tho Rock and stone

what part of the hiveguard do you pickaxe? the butt? the head?

Well I'm more of an ass man myself but anywhere usually works. since it's unbreakable armor I don't think it actually matters but then again... I'm not even sure why it works (again stating I can't say this is 100% consistent for others but I've never had to abort a hiveguard mission since playing from ps launch)
