This is old footage, as we are now at 0.6.4 at this time of publication. I've figured out a consistent method to hit 31-32 waves under 30 minute @ Very Hard. Expect to see another run of this in the coming weeks after the other challenges.
Nice build! I'm still trying to understand this challenge a bit and a bit of the strat. What exactly affects void particle density and how do you lower it? Also do activating the switches affect it? I notice they trigger a map wipe. Does it have a cooldown?
Ok so to start off, this challenge relies a lot on picking up the orange crystals to lower particle density. 1) Quarks drop these crystals which appear in many sizes. 2) The switches are the void particle diffuser switches and they only trigger a map wipe. 3) The cooldown for the switches has been around 4 minutes on average or so once I use them. 4) The void particle density meter strategy switches late-game, as you cant out dps the meter once its always at 99.9%. You can figure out how to use the crystals for that scenario. *Note: I've managed to hit 27 waves consistently on this same build, and have a slightly specialized build that can hit 31+ waves consistently now as of 0.6.4.
I know it may be a bit late but what was your tuning setup? I always seem to manage a poor job whenever I play, usually having too low a power on my MASS to be effective, or even flying only very briefly!
Very late, but thats fine! My tuning is much more different than what is shown here now. I'd advise you to use a level 5 engine, level 5 OS, and level 5 architecture node; particularly Charged Asterite, Omnia OS, and Anglerwasp for a build that will focus on ranged weaponry. You will want to focus on having high acceleration combined with 350 or less fuel burn rate, 1.2k fuel capacity, and to have 2.8k+ piercing/plasma stats. Accuracy above 650 will be good. Weaponry should have a detonator and/or spreadshot, with one auto rifle. Use 3 bullet launchers of your choice (Missiles/nukes). I'm uploading a few more videos with the updated build and this mission again anyway.
I want to buy this game so bad......I want to build a heavy looking viking mech with dual axes if that's even possible. Maybe even add something like an explosive crossbow.....i'm moist to the touch right now.
Yeah, and melee is solid at around 19-21 waves or so now, under the "0.7.6" enemy scaling changes. I used to hit around 45-50 waves in 0.6.5 with ranged builds, but now its a bit more equalized in this mission; I stay around 25-30 waves currently depending on the tuning I use for guns. Proof of 50 waves @ 0.6.5: imgur.com/ekqLR8B They added in an easter egg mentioning my person by name in this challenge; after clearing 18 waves of course.

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. IS THAT... IS THAT THE ARMORED CORE 3 SOUNDTRACK!?
armored core music is cool.

@@HinoGH Ah, thanks for the info, I'd eagerly await to see what you chose!
I wish they would hurry up and release this on the switch I'm dying to play this
Yes!
I have a switch elite lol and a GeForce rtx msi 2070 super laptop lol
i think the switch would melt, this game has so much going on.
We can trust Pan!c Button to make wonders.
Wait a sec. Are those bots with you or is there actual co-op now??
Those are bots. No multiplayer until 0.9.
@@HinoGH So they've at least given a projected time of multi-player drop? That's a relief honestly
@@monsunoguy19Yes we have an assumed patch number and that itself will be a 2022 patch.

You ever try this with Melee weapons?
Yeah, and melee is solid at around 19-21 waves or so now, under the "0.7.6" enemy scaling changes. I used to hit around 45-50 waves in 0.6.5 with ranged builds, but now its a bit more equalized in this mission; I stay around 25-30 waves currently depending on the tuning I use for guns.

I wish they would implement multi player already. Friends want to jump on this.
I’m useing a xbone controller on my pc lol
