Specific weapons drop in level ranges, and new types drop in the higher difficulties (except easy and normal, which share the same drops iirc). As long as you're picking up every weapon box you see you should be getting the vast majority of them.
The end game on the hardest difficulty is impossible without a pretty high minimum amount of health. That's why I started on easy to bulk up with health, some basic weapon drops, and for them trophies to boot.
So I'm better off going further on easy than farming on normal. That should be less monotonous too.
I've never farmed anything in the 360 game and I don't expect to do it here. Just picking up everything you see as you go through the difficulties should be enough, especially if we're not going to have to solo the really hard parts.
The last level we played was in the city with a ton of the giant robots. We got hammered pretty quick.
We were doing fine when it was a couple robots. But then there were a ton. Three at once would focus on you and rape your shit.
There has to be better weapons...
I was able to solo the beach level with the robots on normal pretty easily, but that next one tore me up again. I was ok until all the NPCs died, and there were still a half dozen or so robots to all focus on me.
Did you use the heli or tank?
I used the heli for the last two robots, but I wanted to make sure I got the loot, so I mostly ran around the beach firing missiles.
Play on easy I guess! I use snipers for everything.
Unlocked the Pale Wing.
She is awesome.
She starts completely from scratch with 100 health, 2 weapons, and it doesn't share level completion with the regular guy. I'm don't know if I can beat this game that many times, you guys. We should totally play again soon, though!
What do you have to do to unlock her? I'm at level ~20 on Easy and have only gotten like two new useful weapons since we played. The Tortoise 2 destroys those robots though.
