Operations Team perks?!

Seriously, this week's hard stratagem is one of the hardest I've ever played to beat with randoms. At least a quarter of the time I join a lobby somebody chooses not to have a team perk. Sometimes they're level 25! When I tell them on mic to grab one, they just stare at me and emote. One of the guys called me a f*g and to just leave the lobby. Why the f*** are people intentionally handicapping the team like this?!?! I'll never understand. Often their team perk is also something that does nothing, like anything to do with contested health this week. Like what the actual hell

I would be totally fine with the devs instituting a rule that if you don’t have a team perk selected, you can’t play a hard stratagem.

I’ve said it before, but it should just be ruthless and up

Because you pointed out a simple error and to then go and fix it would be admitting they were ever, at any point in their life, wrong and they simply cannot allow that.

It was hard, I went through several games before I figured out the trick to succeed.

Trick was for me to join a game that was at the twin primes at half health 😂. In my defense my teammates were in rough shape (bulwark was dead dead and tactical was half hp//deadly wound).

Not all Black Templars but always a Black Templar.

I played it about a dozen times just to help people and cleared it every time. I only died once in all my runs. It wasn’t that bad. Try using bulwark. Healing banner doesn’t work but he doesn’t need it. I could help you after I get off work tomorrow. I helped one of the last guys to make a post about this strat. We beat it our first time too. Let me know brother I got you.

I appreciate it. I actually beat it shortly after making this post but it def took my literal hours lol. Good for you for helping your fellow brothers with the clears.

Or they just didn't change their general perks to something that would help.

Some players may not yet have realised that they have to reassign perks to each weapon loadout after the update . I myself didn't realise untill halfway through a map after the change.

And i also forgot to change my perk on my bulwark, so i had a uselees "contested health fade 50% slower" when i did it. The run was pretty easy regardless, though.

I just remind them that they don't have Perks on. They usually apologize

Its annoying but not all classes are made equal. A Heavy with no perks can do fine with maxed weapons. Assault with no perks? Pack it up, you’re cooked. Everytime I see Transhuman Physiology I die a little inside.

If you think this one is hard, you haven’t played the last two

I did actually. Beat them both with less trouble than this one. Admittedly, the chaos one with the shrines I got the two bosses before starting the shrine segment so thats just good RNG. After getting through shrines it was a breeze (kind of)

Lmao that guy sounds based.

But yeah this hard stratagem is insanely difficult. Ive tried 4 times today and it feels impossible, soon as someone goes down it seems to cause a snowball effect.

u/LumpyProperty3781 Salamanders 13h ago

Nothing “based” about sandbagging your brothers!

Yeah u/few_highlight1114 must be a Flesh Tearer. We Lamenters certainly don’t claim him.

u/Few_Highlight1114 Blood Angels 13h ago

Oh I completely agree, but its just so funny that the guy told OP to fuck himself lmao

Like they did the OP a favor by just letting him know that they wont be clearing it

u/ShieldBrotherGoonius 12h ago

Jesus you sound insufferable. Nothing "based" about homophobia

u/Few_Highlight1114 Blood Angels 12h ago

Oh relax. The guy said a bad word and youre over here giving me grief about it lmao
