I like the idea behind some of these new Strange parts.

I am not too sure about Empire Escalation though. This seems like a pretty massive nerf. Easy-mode ahoy!

Time to put Dmg dealt behind my FaN and see if it counts goombas.

*Sets up a dedicated server filled with bots and installs Goomba*
You know what most people would do when Goomba kills counts.

...bots don't count towards stranges




EDIT: WOOHOO new naughty and nice crates,time to unbox some more festives!

 

[Ron]

Keys are not out yet

Also, Stranges don't count towards any action with bots...
But... you can still farm points on S. miscs with 1 server plugin.

 

[Noodl]

Feeling like trying my hand at not getting S.Festives again...

With Escalation's nerf I might pick up some MvM tickets and waste time trying to get an Australium weapon...

 

[Ron]

Problem is the other mission of Mannhattan, wave 5 there is impossibly hard. But they didnt nerf it .-.

 

[Noodl]

How difficult actually are the new MvM missions? I was going to try my hand at the new stuff, but I've never been great at MvM.

The only thing I thought you're good at..
I tried one of the new maps, if you don't work as a team you'll lose, no matter how good you are.
