This is so good! Giving me Cruelty Squad vibes.
I initially read this left to right and it sounded like Yoda
just a quirk sadly
Scout grapple hook failure fix.
If anyone else is having this issue with the grappling hook randomly failing:
--Clicking and holding will register as a click and release sometimes.
I think I found a solution. Go into Options>Controls and disable Mouse Smoothing.
Mouse Smoothing is only related to X and Y controls, not clicking, so I don't know why this fixes it but it does.
My mouse isn't failing, I tested it here: https://www.onlinemictest.com/mouse-test
I like the AR a little better for dealing with swarms of grunts, but all of the builds feel kind of the same to me. It's boring but reliable.
The semi-auto can deal with grunts pretty well with the hipster overclock, and it's a good sniper too. You can change the build to be more based on quick shots or more based on focus shots. It's a fun weapon worth toying around with.
I've never found a build I liked for the Drak plasma carbine though. It always seems like a very weak weapon with high ammo consumption.
Play at whatever Hazard you're having fun with! I played the game on Haz 3 for a long time because it had a good balance of fighting and objectives.
Rock and stone!
Grapple, grapple, grapple.
During combat, especially in Haz 5, you should be using your grappling hook constantly to move away from enemies. Your high maneuverability makes you the most likely to survive a tough wave. With either frost or boomerang grenades you can disable the swarm around a dead team mate long enough to revive them.
Your weapons are great at picking off long distance enemies, so look up and keep the acid and web spitters off your team while they clear the masses of melee enemies.
Learn to grapple and then pickaxe a hole above nitra veins. It will save you a lot of time versus waiting on a platform.
Keep in mind you are not the sole miner of nitra. If your teammates are pinging ground level nitra and walking away please call them out on it, or leave them dry and join a new lobby.
Most of all have fun! :)

Seconding the idea of comparing it to Left 4 Dead. Procedurally generated maps mean you don't have to play the same hospital and circus over and over though.
Also they can play as the gunner and nobody will expect them to mine much of anything.
Is there any way to sort comments?
Right now it sorts in a seemingly random order. Any way to sort comments by "top"?
The list you linked is so great! Thanks!
You can use your pickaxe to unfreeze frozen team mates. a power attack will free them instantly. Sadly you can not free rockpoxxed team mates.
If you shoot a zipline into the exit drop pod you can grab it on mission completion. You can then jump off the zipline and move around, and even leave the drop pod. If the mission finishes and you are outside of the drop pod you will lose a survival bonus. If all dwarves leave the drop pod you will fail the mission.
You can also grab onto ziplines to escape Grabbers and Stingtails.
You can hold "E" to grab onto ziplines and piperails instead of tapping. I didn't know that as a greenbeard.
You can reduce and complete lithophage objectives without cleaning tools. You can use your pickaxe to destroy the boils instead. I have found this useful when there's a small amount left to clean and the cleaning tools have fallen down a cliff. Not recommended to do the whole thing this way.
and there are a ton of cool voice lines when you do this!
Those kids are less than 1% of the population! What's the big deal?
Yeah I do wish mission control would warn you that Point Extraction gets worse the longer you stay. I was a hundred hours in the game before I found out from a random person I was playing with.
What is your favorite mission type?
For me it's the aquarq missions. Get in and get out quickly. You don't usually have 10 events like some of the other missions.
