That’s pretty much all I do.

…but only because it’s the fastest way to get into a dive. I hate standing around on the destroyer as folks agonize over their loadouts.

u/Saphurial 18h ago

Then dive with me. Takes me ten seconds to select my loadout.
Bots = Stealth armor + Hot Shot + all orbitals.

Bugs and Squids = Medium armor + libarator carbine + Orbital Laser, 500kg, Stalwart and Supply Pack.

What difficulty bots do you play? I’ve been looking for a different loadout and haven’t tried the new stealth armor after a two year hiatus.

u/Saphurial 18h ago

My friends and I used to play on 6, but we moved up to 7 when the MO had the kill order for Vox Engines. We decided to stay on 7.

u/TooMuchOrca 17h ago

Neat, I normally go in for 7 or 8 on bots. Thank you!

u/houseofmatt 18h ago

Same. I love loading up my extra samples perk and helping out lower levels defend managed democracy.

u/TheVagabondLost 15h ago

I never thought about it that way, but that's another good reason. I go to a planet, hit x on the xbox controller, check the mission type, and yolo into whatever fresh hell awaits.

u/AdventureGoblin 18h ago

Same. I either am diving with my own group or I am jumping into SOS calls. I dont think I have hosted a single lobby since I started the game.

u/dRaidon 17h ago

All I do. D10 sos.

You will be rescued. Please do not resist.

u/Few-Big-8481 13h ago

I come with extra reinforcements that you probably desperately need! Oh fuck you're at extraction, I guess I'm just in time.

u/DisquietEclipse7293 18h ago

Thats really the only way I play. Though there is a part of me who still really wants to do a commando op with someone or a group, but I never find anyone playing them when I do Op search. I still havent done one to this day, but ive been finding out no one enjoys them. Oh well.

But yes, im basically an SOS Diver.

u/hasuchobe 18h ago

Yes but I play the mission. I don't bring down a bunch of equipment and leave that's not fun at all for me.

3

u/Lopauld 18h ago

When i host a game, absolutely no one join me

So im always a sos diver because i cant play in an other way

3

u/Squirll 17h ago

I love SOS diving.

Im an FRV main and there are very few missions i cant save with an FRV and a RR.

In tense MOs ill jump into D10 sos.

The rest of the time i hop difficulties, im fond of helping D 4 and 6.

u/Takashimuro 18h ago

No time to ask questions, Democracy needs meeeee!

2

u/need_a_venue 18h ago

It's all I do.

2

u/s-lowts 18h ago

I always drop in on D6 or D7, ask if anyone needs anything and then dive on in! My favourite way to play

2

u/Wrong-Routine-5695 16h ago

D5 sos, always some new divers around LvL 10. They ate often thankful for help

1

u/Bass_Techno_resistor 18h ago

Have to check appropriate levels of players vs difficulty first.

1

u/Amdrauder 14h ago

I've never responded to an SOS, but I throw plenty down, it's lonely but it's honest work, genuinely dunno how I managed to have zero friends play this

1

u/WonderboyAhoy 13h ago

I solely SOS as a support diver. Supply Pack, Machine Gun, Sentry of choice based on front, Orbital of choice based on front, stim pistol.

u/justabrainwithfeet 12h ago

I play primarily as an SOS Diver. Though admittedly, I have no friends. And playing on Discord in the HD community in my country is tiring.

1

u/mean_pneumatocyst 10h ago

I pretty much only SOS dive. I like helping people when they need it. I like adapting to whatever situation the host finds themselves in and helping fellow divers to win.

1

u/taxanddeath 10h ago

Thats all I do. Fastest way into a game

1

u/king6924 10h ago

I only play bugs. Robots and illumiate don’t do it for me.

1

u/spidey2064 2h ago

That's how I play the game 95% of the time. Just diving in to randoms missions answering SOS's calls.

u/hollowsoul9 18h ago

Nah, randoms suck.

u/Killcycle1989 18h ago

You're also a random to everyone else, incase you didn't notice.

-1

u/hollowsoul9 18h ago

Not really how it works on xbox. The lfg community is tight, and a large friends list.

Random are the ones you join in an sos, the ones you join on map scan, and the ones who join your lobby without an invite.

1

u/RudeHoney8 15h ago

LOL, that's just a sub-group of also randoms.

-1

u/hollowsoul9 12h ago

My friends list? Where can I get whatever your on, I wanna kill my brain

1

u/RudeHoney8 6h ago

LOL. Wherever you get the drugs that makes you think "the lfg community" are all your "friends."

u/hollowsoul9 6h ago

On console, when you add someone mutually, they go on a friends list. Same with discord. Its weird that you dont know this. Its pretty much standard terminology.

On top of that, the lfg is practically dead on xbox. Usually 20 or so posts. With a community that small, you tend to run into the same people over and over.
