Resogun Challenge

Broke 1 billion score on survival yesterday. Determined to get into the top 20. Rank 1 is 7 billion now. How the actual **** :eek:

I managed 300/400 mill the other day. Then I noticed your 800 odd mill ha gone to 900mill and I thought, "he's gonna break 1 billion soon" :)

Can you share your custom ship?

Instead of beating you on survival (the best mode!!) my new lower target is just aiming to be 2nd to you in all 3 modes !!!

LOL, its this gens Super Stardust for me! Sadly it has meant I downloaded the Destiny BETA from the key you gave me and didn't even logon prior to the beta ending :( Weirdly I have loads of "full" PS4 games but can't be bothered to start anything new and long. This is perfect for my short bursts of gaming nowadays!

Guess it goes well with a MJ playlist ;). I think you'd like Destiny - just having the time to get into it

I'm using 0-10-5 phobos. Search giant squid on shared ships. After some testing I feel like phobos is the best overall for survival mode.

Upped my score to 1.5 billion now. Rank 24. I literally have no idea how the rank 1 guy got 7 billion. Utterly insane. Hope it's not some kind of exploit. Pretty sure he's the guy that had loads of rank 1's on the old arcade mode using the kiting exploit.

I just realised I can press L1 or something and it shows me what ships people in the leaderboards used!!

I might change my custom ship to your stats and see how I fare. I have been using Nemesis weapons for now as I like the homing missiles. In the last 10 days have gone from 80million to 480million. Like you mentioned earlier, day 8 onwards is hard due to the shots they fire when they die, so dunno how much further I can get!

I'm still aiming to beat the 1 billion mark, but I will give up at that point :)
 
I've been looking at peoples ships and there doesn't seem to be any pattern to me. In the top 10 there were people with no boost, or no overdrive etc. The only semi consistent thing seemed to be to use nemesis guns.

I noticed this too. People who are good at moving fast focus on boost, people who are slower focus on overdrive, I reckon. Agility can be lower as getting Power Shield (stacking 2 shields) gives you a fairly big speed boost anyway.

Off to play a "quick" survival run....

Edit: Not so quick, but I broke the 1/2 billion mark :) 555,652,130 which puts me at #235

Finally...

109'115'450.

Totally messed up the last level though.
 
Trying to get human herding down isn't easy. I usually get around 12m on the first level but managed 24m by human herding. I can't replicate it now though.

Edit: Managed to get 3rd highest score of around 26m on the first level by herding. Took a good few goes though!

A challenger appears! Looks like I've got some work to do on arcade mode. I shall remain the undisputed OcUK resogun king :D

I've upped my score on demolition mode also. Can't remember what it was but it's in the top 100.

There was a patch yesterday too:

* Editor: Custom ship slots increased to 10
* All Modes: Tweaked weapons on lower upgrade levels to be more enjoyable (most noticable on Phobos)
* All Modes: Tweaked boost to be slightly more aggressive on lower attributes (most noticable on Phobos attribute setup)
* All Modes: Made humans not react to homing missiles to help avoid surprise deaths
* All Modes: Made Phobos main bullets not explode upon impact with Humans
* All Modes: Fixed rare bug where input would get lost during online play (this should fix the "boost not working" bug players were complaining about)
* Arcade: made Overdrive score cap to 10k instead of 1k (this change does NOT affect Survival scoring)
* Arcade: Keeper Swarmers and Large Swarmers no longer leave the playfield
* Arcade: Fixed bug where ordered Keepers on Febris would show up in incorrect order in online coop
* Survival: Made Munchers (human "eaters") have a minimum human absorption time of 7 seconds (gives player enough time to react now)
* Survival: Fixed shields and powercubes bugging in online coop
* Various small rendering fixes and tweaks (bloom tweaks, particle effects for weapons, custom ship rendering, text placement etc.)
* Various small bug fixes and optimizations throughout the game and menu
 
Nice, lets see what you've got!

Do you know if people are human herding on the later levels for the crazy scores? Even on level one it's utter mayhem, since you don't get the benefit of the power ups associated with saving humans. There are also a ton of things to watch which I slowly had to learn, for instance:

You cannot shoot humans when they are stacked under a portal more then 3 times, or they get sucked up by the portal. The amount of times I did this by accident was very annoying.

You cannot boost past portals whilst holding a human unless you do it low down. Obvious but easy to do in the thick of it.

Leaving a few enemy's behind to reduce the chances of a multiplier drop is essential.

You cannot let a UFO pick up a human more than halfway, or they just get rescued when they UFO gets destroyed.

Infuriating at times but oh so satisfying when it all comes together!
 
Damn! I just came to this thread to boast about getting 207 million just now, not realising you've massively upgraded your score LOL. Wasn't a perfect run. I'm sure I can do better, died on level 3 and lost a human, and had to use a bomb on level 4. Only hoarded humans on level 1 as well. A bit rusty as I haven't played in a while.
 
I never knew this thread existed ! Will have a play around tomorrow, ive never watched scores but i did get a platinum on the game. Will be fun to have a new challenge!
 
I've not played since Destiny came out tbh but may pick it up again down the line somewhere. I'm sure I could improve quite a bit. I think it was the forth boss that I couldn't pass without losing a life and/or dropping a human

By the end, I was restarting after missing a single human, since the scores go up and carry over to the next levels to the point where each one is worth huge amounts. Drop one and you lose the chance for a big score.
 
So there was a patch this week that added challenges, a levelling up system, photo mode and a few other things. And the next and final DLC (I think) is coming next week. Time to get back into this.

My survival high score has dropped to 50 on the leaderboards :(
 
All for free too :). Some of you guys with these epic scores need to share your recordings! I used to think I was good...
