Yeah it was just non optimal. The funnier part about this whole episode was me falling down one of those pits about a minute in so I didn’t have a support weapon for about another 8 minutes either.
Had that happen yesterday, though I didn't fall into the hole, I was blowed up and somehow my stuff all fell into a hole, even though I didn't think I was all that close to it...
Had just spent the better part of the previous several minutes without it, too, since I got cut off from my first one, so I was like "guess I'm just not getting a support weapon this time..."
I did this with the flamethrower, heavier armor and Breaker....and actually had a blast! It's very well suited for the smallest maps but takes down striders quickly. But you do have to get close enough, so sneaky sneaky cover is the play.
I wear light armor on bug worlds cause the extra mobility helps me navigate the chaos but I wear heavy armor for the bots cause I don't like being one tapped by a rocket launcher sniper from halfway across the map.
My buddy always takes the laser beam rifle on every mission because he sucks at aiming.
He accidentally picked up my incendiary shotgun when picking up my dropped samples.
Now he has decided to try more than just one gun.
