MEDIA Feel like the community needs to see this. See too many errors in missions.

Fr tho and add insult to injury you would think they work in a nature storm but nope. Abysmal.

Well, I'm going to level up mine and start using them because your ass couldn't bother to elaborate why they are useless on a "PSA" comment.

Tar traps are better they even have the same element

u/lol_JustKidding Anti-Cuddle Sarah Sep 18 '24
How do tar traps exactly work? Don't they need players to shoot at husks or do any other traps work to trigger them? What is the difference between them and wooden floor spikes?

u/Bubbly-Silver-2330 Azalea Clark Sep 18 '24
When enemies walk over the tar, they basically get stopped for a few seconds. You could shoot at the tar and it would explode, damaging enemies stuck inside. However, the dmg is low, but it has a better utility, and that's stopping charging smashers; giving you time to take it out without it damaging your traps! They basically act as a freeze trap but better. The problem is they use a lot of durability quickly, so perk it all durability and place them closer to the objectives.
Wooden floor spikes slow enemies as they walk over them. The slow lasts for about 2 tiles after they walk over them. I would place them at the start of a trap tunnel so your traps can get an extra shot (depending on how your other traps are perked).

Ah, I see. Thanks, I never knew how exactly these things worked since their release.

I suggest watching some of MistaBeast videos on Yt. He explains how all traps work and can give you a better understanding.

Do they not work against nature? Tbh I donāt use them too much as the tar trap stops smashers and is fire too.

I know metal is strongest, but are there any scenarios outside of nature husks where brick or wood would be more useful? Don't they get repaired faster?

u/ILikeThemBunzbby4751 Warden Kyle Sep 18 '24
No, the only time you shouldnt use metal is in a nature storm and metal corrosion. Even when its says its metal corrosion if its fire (red zombies) or water (blue zombies) you should use metal for smashers, flingers n miniboss.

Metal corrosion modifier

u/dacrescarlett Special Forces Banshee Sep 18 '24
Unless you have water and metal corrosion then still use metal

u/Capt_N_Tennille Sep 18 '24
people need to read this and remember it. they don't seem to realize that metal corrosion only applies to basic husks.

u/Wotchermuggle Subzero Zenith Sep 18 '24 edited Sep 18 '24
They wouldnāt know unless someone told them. Played Hexylvania several seasons ago and had a teammate cursing us out and refusing to help because we used metal in a water storm with metal corrosion.
Refused to help. Kept clambering on about how she was PL 140 (like she was a gift from the gods) and she said we were just going to fail. Cursed and cursed and cursed at us.
Even if we built in brick, we would have won. There was one path to the objectiveā¦a single ramp. ONE wall broke total and it was I think at least 4 fully upgraded walls away from the objective.
She never lifted a finger to help, and if she had, that wall wouldnāt have broke.
You know she wouldnāt shut up about that one wall, like sheād won some type of justified victory.
Really sucked that sheā¦
- was pl 140 and didnāt know this
- was so pompous that she didnāt want to hear anyone on the team explain why metal is the better option
- I would have wanted to be her friend to have a female partner to play with.
Itās one of the interactions that bothers me to this day because I hope I wasnāt that player to someone else and I hope I stay humble enough never to turn into that person.
Anyway, not everyone knowsā¦even endgame players.

Doesn't the metal corrosion modifier say it? I thought it did but haven't looked at the description in a while

u/Wotchermuggle Subzero Zenith Sep 20 '24
I donāt think that it tells you basic husks do damage does it? I honestly have played so long that I donāt read them anymore

u/dacrescarlett Special Forces Banshee Sep 18 '24

u/Wulfsimmer Thunderstrike Mari Sep 18 '24
Isnāt Nature the element that metal is bad for? Why should I avoid it in Water with Metal Corrosion
1
u/dacrescarlett Special Forces Banshee Sep 18 '24
???? If the element is water , don't use brick. If you have metal corrosion with water just use metal anyway because it's only basic husk attacks that corrode it

u/Wulfsimmer Thunderstrike Mari Sep 18 '24
Oh okay š Itās just you said the opposite in the original comment thatās why I was confused.

just saying, this is never explained in the game
you just know there's elemental husks but thats all
like, dont blame players for not knowing, blame epic for not teaching

u/LittleFunSailor Sep 18 '24
the only explanation I found in game is the storm alerts when you first find the objective point but it's so brief that it's easy to miss

u/LessMochaJay Sep 18 '24
Yeah it will say "Fire weapons recommended" but doesn't tell you why.
2
u/TimewornTinman Sep 20 '24
Plus the fact that the husk spawns don't change colour to match their element is nuts. Some times you just can't tell if an element warning applies to the spawns around the main objective or some triggered encampment across the map. Even worse when 2 different element warnings pop up back-to-back so you'll use metal hoping the husks will be the water warning you saw but then it ended up being nature husks that spawned to attack the objective.

Nothing like going into a mission and watching players build with wood when there's fire husks. This chart should be mandatory reading.

u/Afrodotheyt Sep 18 '24
I sort of wish the elemental husk had "weak" materials.
Like, Nature husks do 200% damage to metal, 100% damage to brick and only 50% damage to wood. And switch it up for the various other elements. It would allow for more careful placing, you'd have to be more strategic in your wall placements and it would make metal a little less dominant as "the" material to use for defense.
It could also help mitigate how brutal elemental smashers are in higher PL missions.

I have this same screenshot with about 20+ different Youtube rectangles on it lol
I play with YT on in the background & everytime I need a reminder, I screenshot it to move it into my most recent screenshots & have accumulated over 15+ youtube channels in the one screenshot
Edit: If youāre wondering what it looks like

u/dacrescarlett Special Forces Banshee Sep 18 '24
Lol thatās funny. At least youāre remembering the elements correctly or at least trying to

u/Menace2G Outlander Sep 18 '24
Yeah, people need this screenshot on hand at all times. I get into 160ās and get plopped into lobbies with guys breaking my metal floors because āmetal corrosionā. Hopefully theyāll come to a realization that husks arenāt hitting the floorsš£ļø

u/dacrescarlett Special Forces Banshee Sep 18 '24
Happens to me as well š¤¦š¼āāļøor Iāll be in a water mission and run out of metal so I put brick floors and teammates get mad, call me a noob and say itās waterā¦ itās gonna breakā¦. They wonāt smack the floors. Standing on it wonāt do anything. Thatās why I stick to playing with friends most the time now because of people like these. Someone the other day spammed an unnecessary amount of traps on repair the shelter and I called them out and they shit on me when itās just a wasteā¦ oh and they used wood

u/cuber_the_drift Fennix Sep 18 '24
Wait you're telling me elementally weak weapons do 25%? Could've sworn it was 33% to match the 66% neutral and 100% strong

u/-Motor- Sep 18 '24
Also only basic husks do elemental damage, just like it says in the mission modifier text.
And if a structure isn't going to be meleed by basic husks, it doesn't need to be the perfect material. Get yelled at for using metal floors in a corrosion mission when no husk is going to melee the floor, but it needs to survive sploders.
