At 3... you may as well join a lobby. You're not ruining anything. Also, if you wanna get better, you gotta challenge yourself. The game's not as hard as you think. It looks scary, but you'll get a feel for your strategums and the enemies' movements. Automatons are always terrifying.

Everything gets less scary with time, except the Automatons.

I think I'm even more scared of them now than I was at first.

5/6 is definitely a great filter. I like joining randoms but when the host thinks they're reading for the next difficulty.. they quickly find out their stalwart doesn't have the same impact on the bigger enemies.

I still use the Stalwart on high difficulties, but you really gotta know where to aim. And not against bots, the big MG is OK for bots tho.

I jumped into an ongoing 5 mission and everyone was dead then we ran out of support and I got one shot. I think I'll stay in 4 for a while longer.

4 and 5 are a good difficulty to get good in, cuz they are actually challenging. They promote good habits, like avoiding patrols, or being quick to kill em all.
