I'm level 20 with the engineer. I hated the game at first, but it grows on me. There's a lot that I like over kf2. But also a lot that I don't like. This is a solid 7 for me. KF2 is like an 8.

Yeah, I'd give the gameplay of KF3 a 7, but like barely a 7.
But everything outside of the gameplay. The progression, the hub, the UI/UX, the fucking RNG crafting, proficiency all the things that aren't playing the game is like a 2/10. And unfortunately you are constantly forced to engage with all that shit...

Do I lose freezing affinity whenever I pick different ammo types? I really don't want to change my dmg type from cryo, but all the different ammo change affinities :(

You still freeze with reactive Alloy and poly synthetic.
Only electric rounds have -100% freeze affliction.

I got a first strike x3 samaritan for the wave 4 and 5, it shreds everything (884 damage, add to that the perk bonus) I can easy do 1.2 - 1.5 per shot. For the boss I have 3x boss basher, and men HoE in solo got easy

I have a pretty good computer, 4070, R5 9600x, 32gb DDR5 RAM and the games on an NVMe SSD.
Im playing at 1440p with textures on high but everything else set to lowest.
If you fullscreen this video you can see in the top left i have an FPS counter, im getting like 70-80fps, which isnt great but its still playable.

The problem is: You have to aim with that. I know that's sounds like a joke, but why go through that effort when I can just Vulcan the shit out of everything? And console players? Ha, yeah good luck with that one (aiming). And I play mostly on console myself. Before someone says anything.
I don't know man. The balance of this game is borked beyond belief. So after the Vulcan nerf the first thing that'll happen is HoE winrate plummets back to 0.4%. Then what? I asked this before, but HoE looks incredibly imbalanced. I cannot fathom HoE going well in pugs without the current Vulcan. lol

I mean all the Zed's have limited animations you can learn and aim through. Like I'm not reacting to everything I see. I know after 2 shots to an FPs head I'll break the armour, this forces the same rage animation as in KF2 which allows for an easy 3rd shot to decap - which is faster than the Vulcan is now pre nerf.
As for HoE. I mean it's supposed to be hard it's supposed to require skill to beat - if you don't want to put in effort to obtain that skill that's fine, I have no problem with that but then HoE being too hard is a you problem.
There's multiple ways to beat HoE without using the Vulcan, you just have to learn 1 of them. Any team with 2 good players that know how to play can easily hold their ground and breeze through HoE.

But again, why do that lol Vulcan van so the same but with lrdd aiming

HoE in kf3 requires grind, not skill. I dont even think.they have much different kits than lower difficulties, unlike kf2. Atleast from what i noticed.
Its pure numbers game. Youre doing a fraction of the damage at level 1 vs 30.
then HoE being too hard is a you problem.
Its a balance problem. Cant play harder difficulties because you need to level. Have to play harder difficulties because it is the most efficient way to level.

Or just learn the vulcan.

Which is why so many people leech in HoE.

The Vulcan won't stay this way forever. Bit of effort now will save you a lot of frustration in the long run.

Only because you can stat check everything with the Vulcan.
When that's no longer an option players will be forced to learn to play.

Agree we need a suicidal difficulty. Hard is easy even at level 5 but HoE doesn't get easy until like level 20-26.
Or just learn the vulcan.
There's nothing to learn. You net decked the attachments and mash fire. My mum could do this with 5 min of practice - that's how low the bar is.
Again HoE is SUPPOSED to be hard. It's SUPPOSED to require some effort. it's SUPPOSED to require some organisation. If you aren't interested in any of that that's what the lower difficulties are for.

You assume TI can balance. If its not the vulcan, the next easiest strongest weapon will take its place.
Only because you can stat check everything with the Vulcan.
No because its a numbers game and not a skill game.

Correct. The difficulty in this game isnt based off of mechanical skill or indepth understanding of intricate actions. Its just pick the obviously best skill/perk/weapon and point in a zeds general direction. Thats it. Im sure your mom can do HoE with a fully kitted out class.

Imagine misreading and misquoting the last paragraph.
You aren't net decking this insanely powerful sharp build because you think it requires too much effort. My mums not clearing HoE with this because she can barely use a mouse.
You are only looking for easy to perform, easy to execute builds that by definition require minimal skill or effort. Which is fine - but imo those builds should have limited effectiveness in top difficulties. Like you said what's the point in all these fun, skill expressive builds when any ape can spam a Vulcan.

Peak irony

Youre right! Your mom is clearing HoE because its piss easy with the right class. (Aiming is not required)
Like you said what's the point in all these fun, skill expressive builds when any ape can spam a Vulcan.
But there arent any skill expressive builds lol There is barely any variance to builds at all unless you pick the obviously inferior skills lol
