Do the developers have a serious robodog and grenadier fetish?
Honestly, if that is the dev's definition of difficult.... Sorry but that seems more like mocking players to me and laughing while analyzing the telemetry data from the game.
I have been doing camp oak on challenging and this was once more an alt-f4 moment for me. I was at the stage after the first boss where you open the gate after the sealed tunnel entrance. I had four of those dogs, one of those controller with his little number 5 robot and a grenadier that seemed to have a magazine instead of having to throw, or reload by hand.
I had to constantly run from cover to cover while only trying to get a shot at them every now and then, it was raining grenades and even one of those sniper-robodogs seems to have found a mod that really increased its RoF. It was like he had a mounted MK17 on its back. This honestly is not fun:
First try:
Armor instantly shot by the purple dog with its rifle, then instantly gunned down by two grenades, burned to death
Second try:
Grenade spam, induced tumbling, death by fire almost instantly.
Third try:
Almost instantly two shot by the sniper-robodog
Fourth try:
Grenadespam, minigun-robodog, advancing rusher, stuck in environment, death by fire
Fifth try:
Suppressed by the minigun-robodog, rusher advancing, I managed to kill him almost in hand to hand combat. Managed to keep the dogs at distance, number 5 advanced and then the grenade spamming guy finished his cigarette and joined in. All four armor kits later death by.... I honestly don't know anymore.
Sixth try:
Similar to the fifth, but I just ran out of ammo. I guess it was again death by fire. The reviver hive dropped and vaporized like before in the flames.
Seventh try:
Managed to keep them of my back, was in cover, got shot through the cover by a sniper-robodog.
Eight try:
Burned to death by grenade spam
Ninth try:
Similar to the fourth try, death by minigun-robodog.
Tenth try:
Retreated until I reached the sealed tunnel entrance, two dogs, number 5 and a grenade guy chasing me, number 5 killed me
Gave up
Again, honestly I think that this is a little too much. And also I witnessed one of a golden grenade guys kill himself instantly with his own grenade a little earlier in the mission. If I look at the damage it takes to get him down with an MK17 at about roughly 1mio damage per shot while needing more than a half magazine this seems more than just a little bit overpowered. This wasn't the first situation like that and certainly not the last......
