Room 2 was tough, defending was fun but intense. Vamps is the only way to go and I will look at cryo mines and names as a test.
I am unsure for tonight, if I get on I will join you.

Yeah, don't use it much. Username is same as here.
Still just wiped out from the flu. At least I'm actually getting sleep now.
Not sure. Depends on the kids. Will join if I do get on.
Well....quite a decent night as far as finishing all 5 goes, not a great night for learning as that dude basically carried us through. I'm not keen on how he skipped rooms either, I quite wanted to give 4 a go but also didn't want to annoy him lol.
For me it seems like room 2 is the one that will always be the problem room, the other rooms I think are manageable with 2-3 but room 2 really needs 4. The snake room needs a high damage build so I'll work on a GP for that, I was quite chuffed to survive but honestly that is about all I did.

It was a good night. It's a lot to initially take in but it's quite simple once you get going.
For me I need to basically level up and farm fuel. Talking to you last night the difference in strength between builds is huge. Level 200 is hard, where it takes me say 50 fuel to drop a mole miners in room 2 Cad was probably using far less and doing it a dam site quicker. I'm going to try and solo room 1 so when I'm on I can at least farm to get all the mods I need on the vulkan PA.
Room 4 seem like it can be quite fun, trying to run around heading crazy creatures. Maybe we should make a new version of old McDonald had a farm crystals crystals here we go, and on that farm he had a mole rat crystals crystals here we go.
Ced uses an Enclave flamer and also an Enclave plasma, he said the flamer is great for room 2. Holy fire is superb for survive-ability but it doesn't really have the greatest damage compared to others. You did great last night, I'm just really slow in those tunnels, I think that dude saying we all go for fuel at the start is a good shout but only if nobody dies.It was a good night.

I use a vamp minigun for the first stage of room 1, you don't need vamp if you have enough stimpacks though, for stage 2 I use the auto axe, first star is furious, second is heavy hitter, third is strength (I think) and fourth is pounders, last night I was doing well over 3k damage which is crazy.
Let me know which mods you want and I'll keep an eye out, I have dumped so many it's crazy.....next season apparently you can scrap them, doh! I think my next build will be heavy GP with overeater and powered, possibly rangers as a 4* if I get enough.
Oh next time I see you remind me to drop a 4* pyromaniacs, that should add some meaty damage to your Holy Fire. Congrats on passing lvl 200, the XP in those last few rooms is a nice wee bonus so a the double XP weekend in Feb will be great, I'd guess around 150-200k for the last room alone with all the buffs on, I was over 56k last night with no buffs.
I know room 2 is a horror but honestly I'm loving it, such a good challenge.
@Flibster hope you get well soon.
You are not slow, it's cautious. There is only so much risk that can be taken, look at the other guy. Dead in 30 seconds at times lol. I'm actually going to drop the dailies and try to farm some daily ops to build up some plasma cartridges and work on getting my enclave flamer to a vamps along with buffing my armour with more mods.
Anything I can do to make myself better in the raids is priority now.
Room 2 is all about vamps which I have grown to appreciate now.
No clue if I'm on tonight, as usual if I get on I will jump in.
Did a few room one raids last night, I got 5 good 4* mods and a couple of useful 4* Armour parts too, decent night.
We also went for a wander in the tunnels, kind of no pressure lets just learn them type of thing, I THINK I might be a little better now as I was missing a little path that will be handy for getting "home". Ced has now learned the part on the right side (a bit I liked and he has now stolen lol) so he can grab 4-5 canisters before having to defend, that only leaves 10 for me and whoever can grab a couple as I think the total needed is 15.
Probably concentrate on doing the daily/weekly thing tonight, might fit a few raids in at the end so once again both of you please feel free to join if interested.

So how do we do the room now? Using the duck and cover tactic until it's down?
Well someone has a work around already. Dropped a suit of power armour on the centre platform and then stood on top of it and used a minigun with a shredder mod. Didn't have any 5mm ammo so was just using it as a melee weapon.

Which gives you 60 seconds to get the guardian down or does it bug and the PA stay out?
Could do it with 2 people swapping PA drops if they could jump quick enough onto the top of it. Sounds chaotic but amusing.
We did it in a bit over 3 mins last night using the GP and hiding in the wee room once.
I think armour stays longer than 60 seconds, you get a warning when you have 60 left but that is after a little while anyway. One of the original bugs was two sets of PA at the side of the guardian….. too fiddly for me but one in the middle could be ok.

Ok, little bit of youtubing reveals strangler heart armor worn and a spare set of armor placed on the rim of the platform still lets you use the auto axe, folk still doing it in well under 60 seconds....some around 30 lol.
Looks like farming is back on! Strangely enough I spent around 5200 gold on strangler heart the last time Minerva had it.
