In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the challenges and dynamics of playing a game at different difficulty levels, especially focusing on level seven, which is necessary to obtain ‘Super samples’ for upgrading ships. They talk about how playing at higher difficulties like nine might make seven manageable, but for those at lower difficulties, it becomes quite tough. The update mentioned allows the game to be completed at difficulty six, positioning levels beyond that as additional challenge modes with higher rewards. The speaker highlights the potential for more difficulties to be added in future updates.
Additionally, there’s a humorous reference to community management and patch expectations, highlighting that despite assurances of a small update, the patch is significant. Confirmed improvements include fixes to the ‘tenderizer’ for increased damage and better functionality of the ‘spear lock-on.’ The broader patch aims to balance weapons and strategems, improve their usability, and address other game issues, including bio Titans which require heavy anti-tank weaponry.
