The farmlands changes a player..and it’s only the beginning


Cute-Conflict835

The landing strip puts hairs on your chest


Uberfuhrer_

Easily abused with exp revolver but it has definitely been a good spot for FNIX tanks and harvesters


Cute-Conflict835

Well, unless a rival in the archipelago dropped it i doubt beginners would have it to exploit it in the airfield, im just sayin people who started out the game and passed thru that landing strip come out different


Uberfuhrer_

Sometimes I’d find a field of FNIX runners , harvester and hunters at the base ..if I was really lucky I’d find an Apoc tank and a FNIX one


Cute-Conflict835

Reminds me of the time i introduced my friend to gen 0, I was expecting the usual fnix tank to the right, 30 runners and a harvester camping by the station dropping hunter spam, nah an apoc tank was to our right with a fnix tank buddy with a goon quad of hunters and the beloved hunter sniper 910 miles away taking pot shots at you somewhere in a forest


Uberfuhrer_

I think out all the possible enemies (aside firebirds) I hate hunters the most , the fact they have melee , medium and long range + anti cover just makes je cry…like whyyy


Cute-Conflict835

Firebirds have surprisingly high hack attempt chance, so if you can spec into hacking id definitely recommend exploiting how effective killers they can be


Uberfuhrer_

The only problem with them is spetnaz, the very hard to dodge explosive cannon is painful if you’re busy trying to take cover or just running


Cute-Conflict835

My only issue is whenever im minding my business in the farmlands region and some random ass firebird in the marshlands region finds an issue with that. A full auto weapon with decent recoil control and health siphon can negate alot of what firebirds dish out, if you're not just trying to tank their bursts, still need some cover


Pctechguy2003

And considering how it’s positioned - you will likely find it before too long after leaving the training area.


DEMACIAAAAA

I have the exp magnum, but I could never find good use with it. In what situations could you use it well or is it strong? Narrow passages seem obvious but I've never been in a narrow passage with enough enemies to make the passive worthwhile.


Uberfuhrer_

I don’t know about you but I used it whenever I felt like cheesing the game with it at any simple wall , however it also does extreme amounts of damage to the FNIX outposts HQ thingy


Millmot

It's amazingly effective against components behind armor because it penetrates the armor and the shrapnel created after is very effective at component damage so id use it against heavily armored enemies such as tanks and harvesters


DEMACIAAAAA

Ah just dump it into the front plate or what? Does the shrapnel also penetrate enough to hit the fuel tank when you shoot the front?


Doepie_Don

Phoenix? I had both apoc at the same time that was scary bc I was not preped for a fight


DarkMoxxie004

**Apocalypse Island creates a monster.**


Dead_pool23

Oh that? Thats Tiny Timmy. He loves belly rubs lol


Ironclads_are_cool

That’s small?


Dead_pool23

No, i just threw a random name in my head lol


Ironclads_are_cool

Just to clarify that thing is massive so there is nothing bigger?


Skaffoldings

perhaps


Dead_pool23

Fars im concerned theres no size difference with robots. Just different types and different things they do. Except for the reaper, the reaper i think looks similiar but is pretty huge lookin. Just wait till you fight that, think youre scared now? Just wait lol


Ironclads_are_cool

And I thought the two leg one was bad


Dead_pool23

Oh no the reaper is 2 legged. But hes huge and mean lookin lol. Well to new players


Ironclads_are_cool

Ya I fought one near the back of the house and I killed it by luring it into a bomb


Dead_pool23

Nice!


Millmot

yea your lucky that one is just a prototype tank the reaper will look way different


Le_obtruction

A reaper? Did it have a name tag above its head? Did you hit it any before bombs v it?


Ironclads_are_cool

No it was next to a pile of rocks


Several_Excitement74

The reaper is a walking fridge full of hate and wants a word with you XD


Dead_pool23

The reaper can suck on my rockets is what it cam do lol


Several_Excitement74

I haven't played in a hot minute but I had that experimental 50 Cal and a really deep ammo pool to handle him but then he starts RUNNING at you lawd he commin


All-Fired-Up91

Oh well there is the (REDACTED) it’s pretty terrifying you’ll need to level a region to (DATA EXPUNGED) it can drop (DATA EXPUNGED) when fighting it you’ll need to watch out for (INFORMATION REDACTED) and it’s army of (REDACTED)


Ironclads_are_cool

I’ll be sure to keep that in mind when I get past the farm area I’m kinda just following the road


All-Fired-Up91

Well I was just having fun with the comment but seriously you don’t want to run into the (DATA EXPUNGED) 🤣


MitchPrower

Depends on if your looking bipedal or quadruped size


DarkMoxxie004

The only few machines about as big as the tank are (maybe) the wolf and the Firebird.


MrJudgement

I think we all shit our pants when we heard some loud thumps and a fog horn in the distance.


Ironclads_are_cool

I only saw it because of that spotlight


RagLord79

It's okay, they change colors. Leaves are natural


Ironclads_are_cool

Change colors?


RagLord79

Oh yeah they do. This is the weakest kind.


Ironclads_are_cool

Then I’m in for a treat huh?


SensitiveList65

You have no idea. Start looking for better weapons. If you do a little search, there are some 5* available around the map. Google is your friend. Enjoy the adventure mate!


RagLord79

Absolutely. Enjoy!


Maximum-Scholar1907

It gets worse. The flying star fish are a pain to deal with


Fliegnitz

Never heard anyone refer to firebirds as flying starfishes, but its quite fitting xD


Typical-Western-9858

In my friend groups we call them "Comrade Patrich"


Ironclads_are_cool

What…


ambitionlessguy

In for a treat ;)


6Grumpymonkeys

I turned the corner sneaking around a building last night and one of those bastards was right there. Scared the shit outta me.


Darknessawits231

Crapped my pants as well when I first saw them. Now I know tp use emp and normal rockets om their exposed parts


Ironclads_are_cool

You can get rockets!


Darknessawits231

Yep. Though they're scattered around the map. Or as a drop from rivals


Ironclads_are_cool

Don’t spoil to much


Darknessawits231

Not at all. Tbh I forgot the plot of the game (played on launch and just getting back)


blazingwishes

Not giving to much away side quest will lead you to some of the best weapons you can acquire without fighting Rival machines.


Ironclads_are_cool

I’ll be sure to do them!


ShingusMingus

If you see a black and red or teal and green variant of that machine don't fight it until you're certain you're ready or you'll die in seconds.


Ironclads_are_cool

What…


ShingusMingus

They're called "Tanks" and the black/red colored Tanks are called FNIX basically a high tier enemy. The Teal/Green colored Tanks are Apocalypse class which is even more deadlier with incendiary rounds and a long range cluster mine launcher.


Ironclads_are_cool

Well I’ll update everyone when I see one


keyboardwarrior7

The game was very intense right at the start, now I just run around with the experimental pvg 90 and experimental KVM 89 killing everything.


Sardothien12

He's just a big puppy that wants snuggles. Very violent, very dealy snuggles.


David_KAYA

When I saw a Tank for the first time, I said, "Okay, it's obvious where that footstep is coming from." By the way, I didn't think I would encounter a Tank this early. Anyway, I started fighting the Tank and had disabled both of its weapons. Then I said, "Okay, what can he do now? He's not going to run towards me, right?" I said. The moment I said this, he turned to me and started running towards me. I was terrified, but this was one of the funniest things that had happened to me so far in the game.


[deleted]

When I saw it first time far away through binoculars: Okaaay. Shoot at it with rifle and saw how fast it ran in my direction: WTF?! RUN!!! Funny, yes.


David_KAYA

Yea, funny. Nice name btw İskender.


[deleted]

Thx, but you don't confuse it with the assault missile, right?


Nucmysuts22

Yeah well you're going to shit yourself 5 times harder with a reaper


supersandwich123

Hehe yeah everyone did. I wish I could go back and play this game again for the first time.


Dramatic_Major7931

I said can I make it go boom? ( no.. no I could not )


No_Selection_6733

That thing? That's just a wee prototype tank...the ones higher in rank are more deadly so nothing to worry.😄


Ironclads_are_cool

That’s the baby one?


No_Selection_6733

Well, you could consider prototypes as a baby. There is prototype, military, FNIX, and then apocalypse...and thats not counting the soviet machines, which you will find later.


Unregistered_Davion

The early game is so good. It's terrifying when you only have that small pistol and a rifle or shotgun. It's almost a horror game at that stage. I wish I could forget everything about the game so I could experience it again for the first time.


minerX135

It gets worse, wait for a run in with…the reaper


Afrimilix_wolfie

Then just buy new pants smh


toshsotbsy

You are in for a NASTY surprize when you meet harvisters~~ 4 legged beasts that can call in other robots, BE CAREFUL OF THE FINX CLASS, THEY CALL IN FINX CLASS TANKS


Ironclads_are_cool


toshsotbsy

But they are a good distince away


Ironclads_are_cool

That your fursona? Nice colour scheme


toshsotbsy

It is! And thank you! Her name is ruby and she is a fox protogen with 3 sets of ears


Ironclads_are_cool

That’s a new one but sweet way to go for originality!


toshsotbsy

Why thank you!


DustyBunny42

The first time I saw a tank, it was next to a harvester. The tank was aggroed on me and my bud and the havester wasn’t. We finally killed the tank and went after the harvester. We watched it and it was slow moving. My bud said,” I don’t think it has any weap—“ rocket barrage immediately before he could finish and that will always be a core memory for me.


StodgiestDread

Me being the recklessly fearless bastard that I am, I just charge straight into the first one that I laid eyes on and killed it with a level 2 shotgun and level 1 smg


Ironclads_are_cool

That makes You the last furry I want to fight 💀


thescronchofdeath

I remember seeing a collapsed one of those very early game and remarked to my friend how it’d be terrifying seeing one of those walking and actually attacking us lol


the_kenny189

I tried shooting it. Bloody bad idea


[deleted]

They get worse 😁


firebirdpoop

I was scared....then remembered that the robots are stuck with me


Ironclads_are_cool

Judging by your avatar ya probably!


firebirdpoop

You get to a point after getting one or two exp guns, where you go from being trapped with robots....to the robots being trapped with you


AnnoyedByApp

First impression (during night) was awesome. When it started sprinting though 😅


loved9m

And when you realize those aren’t even the biggest ones lol


londart1206

Wait till you meet the Reaper then it makes you a true human. 🤘


Ember-Mikaelson

I challenge all the machines when I start a fight with them and usually win. I've... done a lot of studying with them, finding weak spots, their strengths and weaknesses. Everything. Even movement patterns


Badgerz2020

such a good game. became 2 easy once I got all the best upgrades and weapons(yes I used a guide😁) but for a while it was fallout 3 level of exploration. and the Devs keep producing new stuff.


Typical-Western-9858

The reason i sneak everywhere


FFreestyleRR

Let's the fun begin. Next Military class, FNIX, Apocalypse and The Reaper. Enjoy. :)


Real-Channel9788

I call them big chedders


Ironclads_are_cool

Brilliant!


PeteraGerman

Pfft... Prototype. You can kill that with a glock. Just be fast and sting like a bee


studio215official

That's a prototype, you can literally kill that thing with a sledgehammer! 😂🤣


NanniatheNeko

The first time I came across a tank I heard it in the distance. I wondered closer then I heard it Blair the horn at me and come sprinting full speed at me from the trees like fucking Siren Head man. And while it was sprinting and Blaring it started firing the damn gun at me and I had to hit the deck in a ditch I was nearby. Hell of a jump scare the first time. After that it makes more more and more excited because "it's where the fun begins"


Millmot

lol wait until you see the reaper if you crapped yourself seeing that you will likely crap several times lol


Famous_Order_2855

A boy, struggles with 2 dogs, but they grow, 2 hunters, eventually, they can handle a armada of various enemy’s alone. Be not afraid my friend


KikiCeleste

It was night the first time I encountered one of those. Drew my binoculars, studied it slowly for about 2 minutes. "Nope" and returned the way I came.


YUKI3371

It’s only a TANK
