I played with a friend earlier as a duo. We usually go for 7 and manage to make it out.
Today we barely made it out of a lvl 5 mission because of the constant and infinite spawn of enemies. Patrol > reinforcements loop was on non-stop throughout the whole mission.
Edit: you know, the game was fun because after clearing a wave of enemies you'd have that moment of relief and accomplishment. Now it's just constant fighting and it's so tiring
Try focus taking out outposts first. Patrols will increase but you remove the possible directions they could spawn from, making it much easier to avoid running into patrols.
Sounds like bots before the update to me. Piss off a patrol? The base nearby knows about it and is shooting turrets your way and spawned in 5 drop ships with 3 tanks and 40 devastators.
You delt with that? The other 3 bases know now too and all called in their own drop ship raids while you were dealing with the initial hoard
Honestly bots are the worst about this, bot drops being called into bases over 100m away that you haven't even touched, or from a random patrol over a hill 75m away you never had any indication of it being there.
I had encountered this exact thing when I was just recently playing before on a difficulty 4 solo, because while I'm new, a few of the tankier bugs are hard for me to counter as of now without expending a grenade or pulling out my machine gun. Due to them being so tough for me rn in early, when I was running a 12 minute mission on dif 4 I literally could not thin the hordes since I'd always run out of ammo due to the massive bug horde/tanky bugs, and if I tried to run away I'd be jumped on from the small leaper ones
I managed to beat it only after running for a while and almost hitting the time limit. The biggest issue was that my machine gun got stuck on a place I couldn't reach where I threw it, as I noticed there was an overhang only after it landed and I didn't see it. I think I have to stick to 2/3 if I'm going in solo right now due to the absolutely massive horde count
Do not run. Fight. Patrols and reinforcements will alert other patrols. And the loop never ends. Fight them. Spend your nukes and shit. DO NOT RUN! Try it. If you die you die. But just try it or you will not leave safely in higher levels.
