Don't forget to check out my new series on my second channel where you can see the full playthrough of my "Playing it cool" achievement run. It's certainly a rollercoaster😅: th-cam.com/video/d6Ta-LU2Qqg/w-d-xo.html
I just finished this scenario solo, what i did was instead of driving up the road like a normal person i took a hard left right out the gate and drove about 5km out from the buildings, set up a base location, and built myself what i lovingly dubbed the Snow dagger tank, a small grid rover with 2 layers of heavy armor, an assault cannon turret, and an autocannon turret, Let me say this now, that was the best decision ever, it tanked rockets like no tomorrow, bullets were ineffective against it, and it annihilated every drone it came up against, even the end boss drones didnt last more than a few seconds against it, it was amazing!
It helps that in this scenario "HeroVehicleDmgMod" is set to 10%. I soloed it with the vehicles and components hanging around (except some mining for magnesium). Didn't have much trouble till the end fight. Life would have been a lot worse with 100% damage though.
I decided to build a small grid atmospheric ship with drills and a gatling turret on top. Refined a bunch of materials, it made short work of basically everything.
I congratulate you on perfectly describing the (lack of) usefulness of handheld weapons in this game. I love how I can put together a nuclear reactor or jump drive with a welder, but can't for the life of me build a scope for a rifle lol
It is in quotation marks. Zero recovered the data successfully, upon which his employer sent ships to silence him. When he defeated the ships, he completed frostbite. I did something different. Zero never read the data pads, but I did. They are the last writings of the employees working in the facility. They all hinted at the general consensus that that company was up to no good, and that they should not be allowed to retrieve the data. Non of them explicitly told you how you would prevent the data from being obtained, but I took a guess. And ground down the data cubes. At this point, the company went ballistic, and sent a fleet to kill me as revenge. The same ships that attacked zero. End result, I destroyed the ships, and completed frostbite. Basically, it was possible to complete frostbite, but without having to go to all the work of transporting the data cubes to the landing pad. My ending was much easier and more ethical.
Frostbite was tough as long as you only built wheeled things and pre WF2 update. The AI enemies gatling weaponry is much less effective than it used to be and the cannons the player can build will absolutely destroy drones large or small. I feel like they should revisit that campaign and make more like it. Definitely their best work storywise.
So from observation i think the easiest way to get this achievement is to start the scenario before you go to bed, leave it running all night to drain the drones of fuel, then complete it the next day.
Oh man. I've played this through three times so far and I don't think I ever had as bad of a run as you. You have my sympathies. The key to not losing rovers in the open is to keep moving. The missiles and bombers aren't that accurate when you are moving. On the mountain road if you shelter under the arches the missiles can't hit you. You definitely need to bring a rover underground. When you have a gatling turret the interior turrets are a lot easier to swat. To do that you need to extend the mining rovers pistons out so you can drill straight tunnels instead of digging holes in front of you. You can also top up the miners hydrogen from the terminal at the mining base. As for transporting data containers it's easier to load all four onto the truck than carry one separately. The truck can get up the mountain, the problem is you need to compensate for the fact that the rear wheels aren't driving. So you set them to acceleration override and put power and friction way up across the board. Just don't jacknife it halfway. I found the final battle easier on my latest run because I restored all the trucks and armoured cars with turrets and parked them around the landing site as well as added a bunch of extra turrets before I even brought the cargo out of the caves. So far Frostbite is my favourite scenario in SE. I ended up doing my own extra mission afterwards on the same map. You should head back sometime a bit better prepared and take on the other two facilities out there in the snow. There is also a tiny little house to be found with a jetski which is super fun. Unfortunately I still haven't got the achievement because it kept bugging out.
It took a while to complete but I can't recall it being this harsh with the drone attacks, I had loads of fun, besides the random darn interior turrets of course!
The drone knows where it is at all times. it knows this because it knows where it isn't. by subtracting where it is from where it isn't or where it isn't from where it is, whichever is greater...
Getting this achievement was a nightmare, but one achievement I've basically given up on is any of the ones related to the drone horde. The scripting in that one is so bad, that if you save and exit, the whole scenario breaks.
Saving and exiting is actually the way to do it as it force quits the round. I made a script that open and closed the save until I got to round 100 for the achievement
@@Zer0sLegion oh man I need that. I was totally willing to play it legit but every time I save+quit it just broke. not to mention half of each wave would never actually approach.
I had correctly predicted the final battle so spent a good deal of time fortifying the initial landing zone, which caused most of the drones to run out of power before I would have fought them. Made the scenario much simpler. =^.^=
@@Zer0sLegion i played it and it was fun! i managed to complete it solo by using the knowledge archieved from your mistakes and by just relying on the armored rover to do everything for me, it was kinda annoying in some places but at the end i managed through.
Idk what you talk about suffering, this scenario was fun. Many people don't have the achievement, because it was bugged and you actually didn't reliably get it on completion.
I don't know if you watched the video but there was a lot of pain involved. I had fun overall but after getting bombed the third time I was not impressed lol.
I haven't played it yet myself, but I'm wondering if either having three players increased the enemy spawn rate *or* by going up the hill first you triggered a script condition to spawn extra enemies earlier than intended. Gonna have to test that when I get around to it.
the kamikaze drones are genuinely the worst part of this scenario for me. awful things. that's why, in PvP scenarios, they're one of my main attack methods :)
Ha. This wasn't that difficult for me as I added an RP objective, bring all the corpses to a morgue and record who was who. As a result most of the drones ran out of power as the small reactors didn't have enough fuel. I plan on going back and using a mod to give reactors infinite power, before never using them myself that way all the drones and safe zones will stay functional. Without me having to use creative to run around and add extra stuff to them as I am still struggling to work out how to do that, but I was gonna wait for the new AI update first.
I did read every data pad I could find. That was never the issue. The issue was that we never had enough ammo to mount any defence against the drones and ships.
I really do believe this is because of the larger combat overhaul that happened with Warfare 1 and 2. The block hitpoints, weapon damage, explosive effectiveness, and some other things got changed pretty significantly to make this scenario pretty brutal nowadays.
@@incendiarypoprocks8700 yeah I played through this scenario back when it first came out. I would reckon the different weapon balance back then and dumber AI probably helped.
Did Keen up the spawn rate of the drones? When I played through Frostbite, when it first released, I only had a handful of encounters like such. Had a harder time clearing the interior turrets of the buildings than I did dealing with the drones dropping warheads/going kamikaze. Still though, kudos to beating this scenario. I know first hand how difficult it is to beat it. Took me about eight hours playtime, because I kept salvaging components from all the drones.
I just want to point out that in the intro when 1812 overture was playing, they made the explosions match up to where cannons would be fired in the song
The frostbite scenario was sooo fun. :D i played it with a friend like 2 weeks after it came out and we were so amazed. we did it in the first try without losing a rover ... sometimes you gotta trust the environment and speed more than the accuracy. :D and in close spaces ... add armor. ... but the gatling was precise back then, and the rifles were better to control. :D But there was not rocket launcher, so i think they ... "overhauled" it at some point. if i remember right, you can control the missile turret in the end from one of the buildings, it has a lot of missiles and is "neutral" ... wont get attacked. althrough i found it more difficult to destory the pirate base from orbit achievement ... i didn't have patience yet to do that.
I'm thinking the "destroy from orbit" achievement was supposed to work by making a combat drone. I cheesed it a bit and had a cruiser with a rotor railgun fire at it from orbit. Took the rounds literally 30 seconds to hit. I had to modify the 'trash' settings so the rounds weren't deleted in transit.
When I did this, rather than difficult, I actually found this enjoyable. I think the way I went about fighting the drones was much different from you guys though, I would get out of my vehicle and hope the drones target me instead so that the would miss me (cuz they suck at crashing into people) and then not damage my vehicle. I was curious why no one had the achievement, I guess this is why.
8:20 If you have a hand drills, you can dig and gec closer I mean, not entirely underground, but if you dig a hole, half of your character height - you can crouch to avoid fire, then stand up to return fire I did so against bots from one of the mods
Autocannons on every vehikel. Played Frostbite alone, ok, need more than 5 hours, but never be killed that often and at the end i drive a roadtrain of three trucks back to the landingsite.
Got this one. I went with building progressively more and more brutal machines and eventually drilled my way through two kilometers of a mountain with the last one. :D
I completed this god damned scenario, cried because the ending was soooo bad, and then switched the world to creative, spawned a spaceship, flew to space, felt complete, and then freaking crashed the ship back into the planet, and blew it up.
Considering the nature of the game, SE should be all about playing scenarios made by other players, but for some reason people prefer survival mode even though it doesn't offer anything gameplay wise.
The thing is that there really isn’t a good way to script events for scenarios in the game. So you can build a map and ships but you can’t really turn them into a playable story. Maybe that’ll change with the AI update.
I did that scenario a few times and had a lot of fun with it, but it was less difficult before the warfare update when they nurfed the rifles and increase the deadliness of the interior turrets against players. The way I did it the last time was: I set up a full base at the start where you get your first tank rover. and just build a hydrogen-heavy armed craft to do all the surface stuff and then an atmospheric driller with multiple Gattling on it to do the underground stuff (You have a lot of ores resources near the landing zone). And before you bring the last data container prepare multiples type of turrets for final attack. You may want to try it again because you missed a couple of bases you could visit. If I remember right one even has a flying ghost in it.
I built an underground moon base in Creative, changed to survival, and used that to win the Death Wish achievement. It had a vertical shaft going 100 blocks below the surface, and then a horizontal tunnel off that which was sealed in multiple locations from the entrance shaft. There was no chance it was going to do enough voxel damage to break through.
Frostbite is my favorite scenario, but I tend to take it slow. I don't think I've ever seen the spider drone still have power when I got to it. I especially like the mining base on the surface. Missile drones suck, though. I can usually take care of them by setting the gatling on the first found rover to full range and target weapons, but sometimes it lets one through to blow a hole in the road. I don't think I've ever had a problem with the mining rover running out of power. It can also cut a much more serviceable road if you use it correctly. The truck with the flatbed trailer can get up the hill on its own if you reduce the strength of the wheel suspensions so they all touch the ground and turn their power all the way up. It also helps to drive on the stone at the side instead of on the ice path in the middle. Ice is slippery, doncha know? The last combat bit is really easy when you know it's coming. I replace the damaged missile turret with a custom, 6-gun, auto-cannon turret and that thing melts the big ships before they can ever get within 500m of the landing pad. One regular gatling turret added to the other side of the compound takes care of the small drones that come from the other direction. There's also a whole lot more to explore: drone facility, communications facility, ammo depot, science station, and another small place up the hill from the ammo depot that I can't remember the function of at the moment. The scenario I can never get to work right is Never Surrender. I've not been able to get any of its achievements to drop, and the drones always stop spawning after 5 or so waves. I think the scripting in that one is just unstable.
You did this the hardest way posable :) Congrts :) . Your a gamer. you know that there was going to be a finale battle. I turned that base into a Fortress well before I left site off it. All the ore you need for guns and ammo are right there. My preferred method of travel is by air so I whipped up a basic platform with guns on it for the clime and the semi at the end had 6 interior turrets welded to the data blocks to keep them safe. My answer to every thing is more guns :) hell the landing pad itself had two gatts and 12 interior turrets plus the rocket turret it came with all on its own. To bad there was more fighting and less reading as all the warning sines where right there :)
I knew there was going to be a final battle, I said it multiple times in the video. I just didn't realise that it was going to be so brutal. I'd assumed we would have been able to complete it with what we had been given, as with everything we'd done so far. Florius and D3lta had looted everything and brought it with us, it still didn't matter.
I did this scenario solo and without dying. Took almost 24 hours. Main thing is to setup gattling turrets at strategic points to intercept missiles and drones as they spawn. My first 5 hours or so were spent no further than the little home just past the gates of the main landing site. I coupled the spawn rover and heavy rover together, and added an auto-cannon turret for picking off distant targets. I also converted the broken drone into a small gunship to pick off threats from the air from afar. I secured outposts as I went, and gutted them for parts, which I would then haul back using the hybrid rover (which had I think 3 medium cargo containers, and like, 10 small containers. You can canibalize a lot of the stuff you find, and you can also make some very simple recon drones using a single thruster. Takes some practice, but the micro drones are cheap, and are a great way to lure enemies into your turret kill zones. Explore all secondary areas prior to going underground, as they have tons of useful stuff, especially the refinery facility, which has an automated drone you can repair and tweak to shuttle you between the refinery and landing pad. Some notable locations are a drone factory, and a crashed large grid gunship. Also keep in mind, certain terminals will allow you to actually call in reinforcement drones courtesy of your employer. These drones aren't particularly helpful, but they can be a good source of spare parts. When finally getting under ground, remember you can usually drill around turret sight lines. Also, take the time to drill out a functional entrance, and take a small rover in armed with an auto cannon to make quick work of turrets and walls. When going into rooms the rover won't fit into, or is too inconvenient to just blsat your way into, never stand exposed to the door when opening, but rather to the side, and pie your corners, also checking elevation threats. Grind through walls, when you can to avoid doors, and create entry points that give more cover from turrets. Slower is faster. When it comes to retrieving the modules, you want a good exfil plan. Bring all modules to a staging area, like the house (which you've now heavily fortified), and then deliver them to the landing pad all at once. You should have built multiple gattling turrets around the landing pad area, and park your hybrid rover there, too, before delivery to give additional firepower. Finally, hop into your small fighter, and intercept the ships as they come in, best you can, from the outer limits of your weapon range. Aim for thrusters, so they drop fast. Any that get past you will be met with an onslaught of AA fire from your turrets and vehicle turrets. You can clean up any stragglers as needed. Mind you, the first time I did the scenario was long before the Warfare updates, when Frostbite originally launched. I don't even know if there was an achievement then. So I did this scenario, TWICE. First time, I had my ass handed to me, but the second time, after Warfare II update, it was a breeze. The Warfare content, mainly the auto cannons and target locking/leading, made it super easy, but very time consuming.
I actually managed to cheese this by using the rover parts and drones to build a small grid ship with drills a gatling turret and a landing gear to carry the data containers.
I did this when the scenario first came out. I remember enjoying this a lot and I think I only had to restart twice (Once to get the achievement, and another to play it with a friend) but I don't remember it being so difficult. But I also spent a couple days taking my time slowing going through the whole thing.
I just finished getting the achievement. I used the trailer to move all 4 of the data blocks at one time by adding a landing gear on the back of the trailer. Then i slapped about 6 gatling turrets on top of the trailer then parked it at the landing pad and hid. It's so much easier if you drop off all 4 of the data containers at one time. The gatlings did all the heavy lifting because the player rifles are basically useless.
I have tried this scenario quite a few times, no luck completing it so far. 4 of my friends who tried it with me ragequitted and after I asked them to try again they said they would never play this again. Frostbite is indeed the HELL of Space Engineers. And where did you get the music at 17:52? Havent seen it in the Space Engineers OST or Trailers but it sounds really good.
Thank you for suffering, I'm sure others will avenge you by being stupidly overly prepared by first building a base and a battleship. Seems that is what you needed was a frigate for AA defense and fire support.
...wait people dont try this? me and my brother finished this months ago, had alot of fun and screaming. also we went afk in the caves and had to go to my other brother's baseball game. accidentally left the game running. all the remaning flying drones underground ran out of battery.
Zero you probably won't see this but one thing I've learned from this is that the xbox adaptation to this scenario has 99% less drones, that our scenario vehicles are indestructible for whatever reason and can't run out of fuel, and that the end attack is much less intense with each attack drone coming one at a time as the missile turret splatters them. I feel so bad for yall playing on pc 😂
The key to my survival in this was the thin armor plates. I used them to surround my rovers in a case of armor plates that shielded me just enough to survive.
One day, I should post my own frostbite story. A story of me and my team moving through the uncharted and terrible cold, the vehicles we lost, the ones we built to counter the threats we faced. The armored personnel carrier we decided to build armed with an auto cannon. How we drove through the underground facility in near pitch Black conditions fighting drones from the confines of our armored coffin… One of us remained at the starting base gathering vehicles that weren’t required for the mission at hand and upgrading them with armament and equipment to hold the line… putting the bases defenses at a new level… we found ways to quickly fight through…. Surprisingly the drones remained active even with the extra time we took to set up the capabilities so we could make the new armored vehicle and the base defenses… assault cannons ripping into the woefully outdated ROK vessels as we stood, a small band of DDI mercenaries hired to take on the job… after the smoke settled… and everything went quiet, they had failed to take us out… barely… but we still had the data containers, we used them as leverage to get off of that godforsaken ball of ice… I’ll never forget the name… Operation Frostbite.
on the topic of destroying an entire planet, with the fact that people have already made ships that can drill entire asteroids, I say it's only a matter of time until someone pulls a Gru and steals the moon.
I have to admit, when I did first take on this when it was released, I played solo halfway and lost interest, returned to SE maybe a week ago, did it at once solo and got the achievement, being sneaky and cautious is pretty important, I'll replay that scenario tho, cause I'm 100% sure I did missed few things and I want to see if Lockdown Module path is avaible to accomplish
maybe in this scenario they call you to take these dada condaniers beacuse they being systems to these drones where someone broke these & they wanna do MAS DESDRUTCION after the scenario.
Lol I got to the going up hill by myself with all 4 cubs first came out and lost then played with 3 others 7 months later won way easier like they remove some turrets now looks like they added suicidal bombers 12 + months later
I still have yet to beat this scenario 😂 I still think it's the best one the game has to offer though. I always set up a little base and built a basic refinery and started making ammo out of frustration.
Watching this I'm releasing my experience was so much different then this, i had none of the drone issues and i think i skipped so much be accdent and just wondered into the mine reset the reactor and just kind of got lost inside.
Yea I wanted to say that with the new(er) DLCs this scenario can be done much easier. Tough when I 1st went trough it (during the warfare DLC, when i had to start all over after a reinstall) non of the turrets had ammo in them (bug do the new ammo system?) so I just needed to hack them and add ammo and those took out most of the drones (those had ammo) for me. Tough i simply fixed that small flying miner drone and added a seat to it, did not wasted time with the mining rover, and yes by the time i got to the tunnels all the old drones ran out of power. BTW there are a few elite rank stuff, and weapons hidden along the way, if u take the time to read the datapads, but if u fix the facility u can make some too. Maybe I try again, BUT with the new custom turrets.
I remember trying to do this scenario and "successfully" getting all of the data things (without blowing up, mind you) and the game DIDN'T GIVE ME THE ACHIEVEMENT! IT TOOK HOURS! I EVEN WON THE END GAME THINGY AND IT STILL DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!
@@Zer0sLegion I did 2 runs total, first was exploring because "new stuff" and blowing up the place.second was some tom Clancy stuff lol. But ey it worked
I'm not gunna lie I cheated I spawned in my survival rover and my light combat mass effect rover for my friend and breezed through it I honestly had a lot of fun. Modified the trailer and our truck to tow the 4 block things. Custom turreted mini guns for the win

Without me having to use creative to run around and add extra stuff to them as I am still struggling to work out how to do that, but I was gonna wait for the new AI update first.
SE scenarios equal pain
They're fun but man are they hard 😅
Kinda sounds like you should spend some time fortifying the landing pad
Yeah, really good when you have hindsight
The TH-camr Vision is Unreal here
You *need* to read the dialogue to understand what to do first
I did read every data pad I could find. That was never the issue. The issue was that we never had enough ammo to mount any defence against the drones and ships.
I cheated by making a fighter with lots of turrets to be my constant companion
man i hate the frostbite scenario
Nah the frostbite scenario is so good except for getting the cargo crate things that part sucks
I had fun playing it but I did start to resent it towards the end. You can watch me slowly lose my sanity as I upload it to the second channel.
You could easily use the command prompts to do this... turn God mode on 👍
Yeah, that would have made a fantastic video...
Glad to know its not just me, this level is bull! :D
It's definitely good fun, even if it is annoying.
@@Zer0sLegion yeah I tried to make a flying contraption to fight those flyer guys....
Good video enjoyed watching it.👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Since when the space engineers have exciting scenarios? Only one I could I likes was the old escape from Mars off the workshop
There's loads of them in the scenario section.
Im pretty sure the Wave To An Enemy is the hardest achievement. I still cant do it as the game doesnt let me wave :(
Waving works for me.
Must be for some people then. A few people have told me it's a bug introduced since Warfare 1
so as a single player i have not a chance of completing it lol
Oddly enough I don't remember this scenario being that difficult. most of the damage I did was to myself by flipping rovers
We flipped rovers too, I just cut that out 😜
I really do believe this is because of the larger combat overhaul that happened with Warfare 1 and 2. The block hitpoints, weapon damage, explosive effectiveness, and some other things got changed pretty significantly to make this scenario pretty brutal nowadays.
I don't remember there being so many kamikaze drones. Does the scenario spawn more drones when there are 3 players?
@@incendiarypoprocks8700 yeah I played through this scenario back when it first came out. I would reckon the different weapon balance back then and dumber AI probably helped.
@@GalCon99 from when i played it with 4 other friends it seems like the shear amount of drones is based on how many players their are.
Did Keen up the spawn rate of the drones? When I played through Frostbite, when it first released, I only had a handful of encounters like such. Had a harder time clearing the interior turrets of the buildings than I did dealing with the drones dropping warheads/going kamikaze. Still though, kudos to beating this scenario. I know first hand how difficult it is to beat it. Took me about eight hours playtime, because I kept salvaging components from all the drones.
8 hours! Damn, we practically did a speed run then.
@@Zer0sLegion As the saying goes, “many hands make light work”. My run was a solo run.
I just want to point out that in the intro when 1812 overture was playing, they made the explosions match up to where cannons would be fired in the song
Glad someone noticed lol
This show us that Space Engineer Need grenade that can disable anti-Personal turret
Grenades would be cool.
@@Zer0sLegion yes indeed
@@Zer0sLegion mod for that
@@Zer0sLegionThink the Rocket Launcher is supposed to fill that role, sort of
The frostbite scenario was sooo fun. :D i played it with a friend like 2 weeks after it came out and we were so amazed.
we did it in the first try without losing a rover ... sometimes you gotta trust the environment and speed more than the accuracy. :D and in close spaces ... add armor.
... but the gatling was precise back then, and the rifles were better to control. :D
But there was not rocket launcher, so i think they ... "overhauled" it at some point.
if i remember right, you can control the missile turret in the end from one of the buildings, it has a lot of missiles and is "neutral" ... wont get attacked.
althrough i found it more difficult to destory the pirate base from orbit achievement ... i didn't have patience yet to do that.
I'm thinking the "destroy from orbit" achievement was supposed to work by making a combat drone. I cheesed it a bit and had a cruiser with a rotor railgun fire at it from orbit. Took the rounds literally 30 seconds to hit. I had to modify the 'trash' settings so the rounds weren't deleted in transit.
@@Zephandolf I got planetsphobia by just steering a couple of large ships into the base via remote control. I think they were captured vessels, too.
When I did this, rather than difficult, I actually found this enjoyable. I think the way I went about fighting the drones was much different from you guys though, I would get out of my vehicle and hope the drones target me instead so that the would miss me (cuz they suck at crashing into people) and then not damage my vehicle. I was curious why no one had the achievement, I guess this is why.

If you have a hand drills, you can dig and gec closer
I mean, not entirely underground, but if you dig a hole, half of your character height - you can crouch to avoid fire, then stand up to return fire
I did so against bots from one of the mods
Anon discovers trench warfare
Autocannons on every vehikel.
Played Frostbite alone, ok, need more than 5 hours, but never be killed that often and at the end i drive a roadtrain of three trucks back to the landingsite.
Got this one. I went with building progressively more and more brutal machines and eventually drilled my way through two kilometers of a mountain with the last one. :D
My man got an Austria Hapsburg prince and the embodiment of twitter to help him
Someone gotta make a book out of this scenario
I completed this god damned scenario, cried because the ending was soooo bad, and then switched the world to creative, spawned a spaceship, flew to space, felt complete, and then freaking crashed the ship back into the planet, and blew it up.
Question: can you add mods to a frostbite save? It'd be fun to add a few weapon mods for a second playthrough idea.
You can add mods but good look getting ammo for your weapons.
@@Zer0sLegion *dies and respawns repeatedly to get magnesium by scrapping ammo.*
The main problem I had with this scenario was I kept getting lost during snowstorms and driving off cliffs
Lol, same thing happened to us
Considering the nature of the game, SE should be all about playing scenarios made by other players, but for some reason people prefer survival mode even though it doesn't offer anything gameplay wise.
The thing is that there really isn’t a good way to script events for scenarios in the game. So you can build a map and ships but you can’t really turn them into a playable story. Maybe that’ll change with the AI update.
@@Jenozie99 Escape from Mars managed that pretty well.
What is all this about drones running out of ammo? I have never seen the NPC drones run out of ammo.😂🤣🤣🤣😱💀
I did that scenario a few times and had a lot of fun with it, but it was less difficult before the warfare update when they nurfed the rifles and increase the deadliness of the interior turrets against players.
The way I did it the last time was: I set up a full base at the start where you get your first tank rover. and just build a hydrogen-heavy armed craft to do all the surface stuff and then an atmospheric driller with multiple Gattling on it to do the underground stuff (You have a lot of ores resources near the landing zone). And before you bring the last data container prepare multiples type of turrets for final attack.
You may want to try it again because you missed a couple of bases you could visit. If I remember right one even has a flying ghost in it.
A flying ghost, what😮
I built an underground moon base in Creative, changed to survival, and used that to win the Death Wish achievement. It had a vertical shaft going 100 blocks below the surface, and then a horizontal tunnel off that which was sealed in multiple locations from the entrance shaft. There was no chance it was going to do enough voxel damage to break through.
No NOT THE MEMORIES ok seriously this is the hardest thing that I have ever done and I still haven’t got the achievement
I nearly didn't get it lol
Frostbite is my favorite scenario, but I tend to take it slow. I don't think I've ever seen the spider drone still have power when I got to it. I especially like the mining base on the surface. Missile drones suck, though. I can usually take care of them by setting the gatling on the first found rover to full range and target weapons, but sometimes it lets one through to blow a hole in the road. I don't think I've ever had a problem with the mining rover running out of power. It can also cut a much more serviceable road if you use it correctly.
The truck with the flatbed trailer can get up the hill on its own if you reduce the strength of the wheel suspensions so they all touch the ground and turn their power all the way up. It also helps to drive on the stone at the side instead of on the ice path in the middle. Ice is slippery, doncha know?
The last combat bit is really easy when you know it's coming. I replace the damaged missile turret with a custom, 6-gun, auto-cannon turret and that thing melts the big ships before they can ever get within 500m of the landing pad. One regular gatling turret added to the other side of the compound takes care of the small drones that come from the other direction.
There's also a whole lot more to explore: drone facility, communications facility, ammo depot, science station, and another small place up the hill from the ammo depot that I can't remember the function of at the moment.
The scenario I can never get to work right is Never Surrender. I've not been able to get any of its achievements to drop, and the drones always stop spawning after 5 or so waves. I think the scripting in that one is just unstable.
I don't think Never Surrender is buggy, I think the drones just get lost and drift away. Reloading the world normally fixes that though.
As someone who has completed this scenario I can say this scenario is a pain
Huh. Always wondered why an easy scenario had very little in terms of players completing it... now i know they made it nightmare mode :3
You did this the hardest way posable :) Congrts :) . Your a gamer. you know that there was going to be a finale battle. I turned that base into a Fortress well before I left site off it. All the ore you need for guns and ammo are right there. My preferred method of travel is by air so I whipped up a basic platform with guns on it for the clime and the semi at the end had 6 interior turrets welded to the data blocks to keep them safe. My answer to every thing is more guns :) hell the landing pad itself had two gatts and 12 interior turrets plus the rocket turret it came with all on its own. To bad there was more fighting and less reading as all the warning sines where right there :)
I knew there was going to be a final battle, I said it multiple times in the video. I just didn't realise that it was going to be so brutal. I'd assumed we would have been able to complete it with what we had been given, as with everything we'd done so far. Florius and D3lta had looted everything and brought it with us, it still didn't matter.
I did this scenario solo and without dying.
Took almost 24 hours. Main thing is to setup gattling turrets at strategic points to intercept missiles and drones as they spawn. My first 5 hours or so were spent no further than the little home just past the gates of the main landing site. I coupled the spawn rover and heavy rover together, and added an auto-cannon turret for picking off distant targets. I also converted the broken drone into a small gunship to pick off threats from the air from afar. I secured outposts as I went, and gutted them for parts, which I would then haul back using the hybrid rover (which had I think 3 medium cargo containers, and like, 10 small containers. You can canibalize a lot of the stuff you find, and you can also make some very simple recon drones using a single thruster. Takes some practice, but the micro drones are cheap, and are a great way to lure enemies into your turret kill zones.
Explore all secondary areas prior to going underground, as they have tons of useful stuff, especially the refinery facility, which has an automated drone you can repair and tweak to shuttle you between the refinery and landing pad. Some notable locations are a drone factory, and a crashed large grid gunship. Also keep in mind, certain terminals will allow you to actually call in reinforcement drones courtesy of your employer. These drones aren't particularly helpful, but they can be a good source of spare parts.
When finally getting under ground, remember you can usually drill around turret sight lines. Also, take the time to drill out a functional entrance, and take a small rover in armed with an auto cannon to make quick work of turrets and walls. When going into rooms the rover won't fit into, or is too inconvenient to just blsat your way into, never stand exposed to the door when opening, but rather to the side, and pie your corners, also checking elevation threats. Grind through walls, when you can to avoid doors, and create entry points that give more cover from turrets. Slower is faster.
When it comes to retrieving the modules, you want a good exfil plan. Bring all modules to a staging area, like the house (which you've now heavily fortified), and then deliver them to the landing pad all at once. You should have built multiple gattling turrets around the landing pad area, and park your hybrid rover there, too, before delivery to give additional firepower.
Finally, hop into your small fighter, and intercept the ships as they come in, best you can, from the outer limits of your weapon range. Aim for thrusters, so they drop fast. Any that get past you will be met with an onslaught of AA fire from your turrets and vehicle turrets. You can clean up any stragglers as needed.
Mind you, the first time I did the scenario was long before the Warfare updates, when Frostbite originally launched. I don't even know if there was an achievement then. So I did this scenario, TWICE. First time, I had my ass handed to me, but the second time, after Warfare II update, it was a breeze. The Warfare content, mainly the auto cannons and target locking/leading, made it super easy, but very time consuming.
You had me at 24 hours. 🙅♀️
I actually managed to cheese this by using the rover parts and drones to build a small grid ship with drills a gatling turret and a landing gear to carry the data containers.
I did this when the scenario first came out. I remember enjoying this a lot and I think I only had to restart twice (Once to get the achievement, and another to play it with a friend) but I don't remember it being so difficult. But I also spent a couple days taking my time slowing going through the whole thing.
I think we reloaded twice in total, we did cheat a little bit though.
Through the power of "It's not a bug, it's a feature," you survived.
I just finished getting the achievement. I used the trailer to move all 4 of the data blocks at one time by adding a landing gear on the back of the trailer. Then i slapped about 6 gatling turrets on top of the trailer then parked it at the landing pad and hid.
It's so much easier if you drop off all 4 of the data containers at one time.
The gatlings did all the heavy lifting because the player rifles are basically useless.
I have tried this scenario quite a few times, no luck completing it so far. 4 of my friends who tried it with me ragequitted and after I asked them to try again they said they would never play this again. Frostbite is indeed the HELL of Space Engineers.
And where did you get the music at 17:52? Havent seen it in the Space Engineers OST or Trailers but it sounds really good.
The music is the racing track from scrap race.
@@Zer0sLegion Thank you.
iv been doing this to, but the frostbite one is the worst thing i swear, keen had it out for us man
They want to make us suffer for our achievements lol
Thank you for suffering, I'm sure others will avenge you by being stupidly overly prepared by first building a base and a battleship. Seems that is what you needed was a frigate for AA defense and fire support.
I loved frostbite, and when i finished i went in creative and decided to rebuild every single building in the scenario, it was quite fun
"Hand weapons have a range of 5 meters and the accuracy of a Storm Trooper." Bwahahahahahahahahaha!
...wait people dont try this? me and my brother finished this months ago, had alot of fun and screaming. also we went afk in the caves and had to go to my other brother's baseball game. accidentally left the game running. all the remaning flying drones underground ran out of battery.
Same thing happened to us 😅
@@Zer0sLegion saw that after i posted lol
i never thought it could be possible to feel so much pain from someone else through a screen lol. true soldiers
😅
Zero you probably won't see this but one thing I've learned from this is that the xbox adaptation to this scenario has 99% less drones, that our scenario vehicles are indestructible for whatever reason and can't run out of fuel, and that the end attack is much less intense with each attack drone coming one at a time as the missile turret splatters them. I feel so bad for yall playing on pc 😂
😭
Did this scenario by myself. Most difficulty time I had was near the end, I flipped the truck. Super fun though.
The key to my survival in this was the thin armor plates. I used them to surround my rovers in a case of armor plates that shielded me just enough to survive.
You know, this scenario might be a tad too difficult.
Lol😅
One day, I should post my own frostbite story. A story of me and my team moving through the uncharted and terrible cold, the vehicles we lost, the ones we built to counter the threats we faced. The armored personnel carrier we decided to build armed with an auto cannon. How we drove through the underground facility in near pitch Black conditions fighting drones from the confines of our armored coffin… One of us remained at the starting base gathering vehicles that weren’t required for the mission at hand and upgrading them with armament and equipment to hold the line… putting the bases defenses at a new level… we found ways to quickly fight through…. Surprisingly the drones remained active even with the extra time we took to set up the capabilities so we could make the new armored vehicle and the base defenses… assault cannons ripping into the woefully outdated ROK vessels as we stood, a small band of DDI mercenaries hired to take on the job… after the smoke settled… and everything went quiet, they had failed to take us out… barely… but we still had the data containers, we used them as leverage to get off of that godforsaken ball of ice… I’ll never forget the name… Operation Frostbite.
How many players can you get in this? Can we just bum rush them Death Korps of Krieg style with 20 people?
Presumable as many as you can fit on a server.
on the topic of destroying an entire planet, with the fact that people have already made ships that can drill entire asteroids, I say it's only a matter of time until someone pulls a Gru and steals the moon.
Who says I haven't done it already.😉
I have to admit, when I did first take on this when it was released, I played solo halfway and lost interest, returned to SE maybe a week ago, did it at once solo and got the achievement, being sneaky and cautious is pretty important, I'll replay that scenario tho, cause I'm 100% sure I did missed few things and I want to see if Lockdown Module path is avaible to accomplish
The funny thing is, In the xbox version of the game the warhead bomber doesn't work XD. also your awesome!
Would be nice if it didn't work on PC as well!
Syncing the exploding drones up to the music was good! 1812 overture?
Indeed it was
maybe in this scenario they call you to take these dada condaniers beacuse they being systems to these drones where someone broke these & they wanna do MAS DESDRUTCION after the scenario.
Just started this scenario... Good to know that claiming the garage and starting mining & construction operations isn't overkill lol
Lol I got to the going up hill by myself with all 4 cubs first came out and lost then played with 3 others 7 months later won way easier like they remove some turrets now looks like they added suicidal bombers 12 + months later
I KNEW IT! I KNEW FLORIUS WOULD BE THERE. knew it was frostbite the minute I saw the clip! Dude let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I still have yet to beat this scenario 😂 I still think it's the best one the game has to offer though. I always set up a little base and built a basic refinery and started making ammo out of frustration.
funny considering the scenario is in a frozen wasteland while the experience itself was actually HELL
Watching this I'm releasing my experience was so much different then this, i had none of the drone issues and i think i skipped so much be accdent and just wondered into the mine reset the reactor and just kind of got lost inside.
Yea I wanted to say that with the new(er) DLCs this scenario can be done much easier. Tough when I 1st went trough it (during the warfare DLC, when i had to start all over after a reinstall) non of the turrets had ammo in them (bug do the new ammo system?) so I just needed to hack them and add ammo and those took out most of the drones (those had ammo) for me. Tough i simply fixed that small flying miner drone and added a seat to it, did not wasted time with the mining rover, and yes by the time i got to the tunnels all the old drones ran out of power. BTW there are a few elite rank stuff, and weapons hidden along the way, if u take the time to read the datapads, but if u fix the facility u can make some too. Maybe I try again, BUT with the new custom turrets.
BTW even less player resets the drones at the "drone facility", (yes there are like 6 other large buildings u seemed to miss) so thy become friendly.
I did read all the datapads along the way, I just had Florius and D3lta treating the game like an MMO and running from objective to objective.
@@Zer0sLegion Agh than u missed the "snow bikes" those are really fun...
This video was great and this channel is underated, you sir have gained another sub

yup the drones are pure suffering proudly presented you with kind regards by keen software (you paid for it so you are into suffering lol)
We spend half of the time trying to get packages to the top after flipping rover and we had to make flying carrier XD
I remember trying to do this scenario and "successfully" getting all of the data things (without blowing up, mind you) and the game DIDN'T GIVE ME THE ACHIEVEMENT! IT TOOK HOURS! I EVEN WON THE END GAME THINGY AND IT STILL DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!
maybe you aren't verified or smt

"it takes but one" was super hard cuz i decided to do it during the release stream from keen just to show off lol. it took a while
I had to do the whole thing again because I got killed by a door. 😥
@@Zer0sLegion I did 2 runs total, first was exploring because "new stuff" and blowing up the place.second was some tom Clancy stuff lol. But ey it worked

Space Engineers is really a massive underated game :D
I am glad to say I am one of the few who ripped my nails out suffering through Frostbite.
It is quite a scenario. Especially in multiplayer, where you don't really savescum. Also especially if you destroy your armed vehicles.
I like the "reference" to V for Vendeta at the begin in music added to explosions :D
I'm not gunna lie I cheated I spawned in my survival rover and my light combat mass effect rover for my friend and breezed through it I honestly had a lot of fun. Modified the trailer and our truck to tow the 4 block things. Custom turreted mini guns for the win
I mean, I definitely didn't cheat 😅
