This is a challenge run where I start new save file right away on inferno with 0 gear. I am playing on online for extra challenge and for possibly tackling the online exclusive missions later if I am able to even make that far.

Concerning drops the game drops you weapon levels above 27 on first mission, I always try my best to go over my inventory before starting the missions and you'll see the drop range makes sense on the missions I'm playing on.

Anyway back to to the missions at hand.

Here we go another drone mission... at least this time I'm better kitted for and that blasthole M5 having 9 star swing speed is absolutely amazing in how it feels but I have to get used to it again because I was used to slow swings. It isn't just swing speed that makes blasthole faster but model itself can be faster or slower on some like M6 is much slower for much bigger power hits.

Galleon is nice plink drones out of air weapon, but despite my nice weapons the level was a bit of learning process for me. Since there buildings in level you can just go hide out somewhere in city with a shield against a wall to win but I took the normal method & bruteforce way of winning.

So this run includes some failures I included them this time because I think it's important to show the dangers of drones and randomness to them. My plan was to use the wing diver squad flying ability to draw aggro away from me, they appear to have around 3000 armor each diver, so they have a lot more health than me so they don't need to be super evasive like me plus they can be healed. I eventually learned it was best to just kill the red helmet wing diver leader at start and then kill off ant groups since wing divers have cooldown energy charge you don't want any ants near them but with drones there nearly invincible as long as you pick up health crates.

I took a BIG RISK going to spawn kill the drones but I thought since the spear is crazy fast now its well worth the risk and it is, with wing divers moving around me they help take attention off me. Make sure to get rid of plasma cannons before attempting spawn kills because cannons can shoot you and knock you down and you don't want that during that part.
