I love the mission variety in this game.

This assignment was a nice dreadnought training. I have done it on Haz 4 with 3 randoms and it was quite fun. At least it wasn't 3 savage operations in a row. I hate defending those points...

Extermination is fine when you have a good team or set of randoms. One leads it while the others shoot.

I don’t know why but I’m usually end being the bait. Even when no scouting!

Extermination isn't too hard as solo either, just let bosco chip the armor away while you run around.

Did this one last night. Had a bug where two cocoons popped as soon as the pod landed. Needless to say the second try went smoother.

I found that cracking all the dreadnoughts at once is good mobility practice for a scout
Current objective: SURVIVE

Here's hoping next week it's 3 PE's or 3 Mining missions.

Let me introduce you to your friendly pal The Driller and his flamethrower...

Worse yet, I ended up getting multiple Glacial Strata maps when I did it.

That's a timing thing. When it generates missions the game selects a single mission of each type as the assignment mission for that cycle (I think for all assignments that use that mission type have the same mission, but I'm not 100% sure). So if you finish the mission before the next reset then it will be the same mission.
The same thing happened to me when doing the assignment, the first two were Sandblasted Corridors with Mactera Plague. The third one was different since the missions rest while I was doing the second one.

Cryogun and large circles, ezpz

This new core hunt is pretty nightmarish. 3 exterminations in a row is rough when you don't particularly enjoy those missions.
Right, but you can just cheese them on Hazard 1 as Driller if you really hate them
like mehow2cheese?
Just... play Driller. He does insane amounts of damage, and it's Hazard 1 so it's not like you're going to take any in return.
Yeah I noticed that the flamethrower does stupid damage to the shell
I think the driller strat is to make a U shaped tunnel and have the person the Dreadnought is targeting stay in the middle of the tunnel, and have everyone else attack the Dreadnought.
No, on Hazard 1 like he mentioned you literally just drill straight to the Dread, flame thrower kills him in one clip, then drill to the next and repeat. Don't even need to call in a resupply - in and out in less than 5 minutes if you ignore all resources.
If you have the elephant rounds mod for gunner's revolver, you can blow through each mission solo in 5 mins each (level generation permitting, haz 3)
