Welcome fags, to our attempt to put some useful information in one neat pastebin.

What is this game about?
>FUN<
And slaying bugs/aliens.

This game looks interesting but I'm poor!
>Pirate it, the MP works. You can only play with other piratefags, but there are some in here. Saves can be transfered to a legit copy, if you ever buy the game.

B-but how do I transfer saves?

Isn't the multiplayer going to die soon?
>No. EDF 4.1, which is a couple of years old, still have players on PC. Don't worry about it.

How does the multiplayer work?
>It's p2p. You host, people join.

How many players per room?
>4

Ok I got the game, what do now?
>PICK UP RED AND GREEN BOXES. It raises max hp and gives weapons/upgrades them. Boxes are shared. Be a lootbro.
>Otherwise just go mutiplayer and find a normal/hard lobby with a early mission (sub 40). Or you could host your lobby in the thread, there are always anons willing to help out new players.

Which class should I pick?
>The one that you want.

Ok but what weapon should I use??
>Ranger: Rifle/shotgun/rocketlauncher good, missiles/snipers ok, rest is situational/bad. Pick sprint or bike.
>Air raider: Lapis/120mm canon/minigun good, spritefall OP, heavy bomber really good, KM6 Bomber good, bulge laser good, lvl 50+turrets good, otherwise situational. Nix OP, chopper garbage (I mean it)
>Wing diver: Phalanx OP, Lance really good, mid laser good, rest situational. Pick the lastest core.
>Fencer: Melee+shotgun/flame/heavy mortar to move around, second set heavy mortar/canons/whatever that does high damage. Highest dash cell + add booster.

Should I play solo or multiplayer?
>Multiplayer. Forget about solo.

>Which difficulty should I start with?
>Either normal or hard. Any mission completed at that difficulty will complete the lower rank as well.

I want to know things most don't!
>You can change your color in your equipement by pressing y on the selected color
>Once you have finished the game once, you can pick between civilian and EDF models in your inventory
>You can cancel the end of the animation of the DNG type grenades of the ranger if you press shift to throw the grenade instead of mouse 1: just change your weapon after the throw
>All enemies act like drones, aka what's being shot while bring enemies surrounding them: pick the edge of groups to get them bits by bits (only useful in missions you have trouble with)
>You can change your chat shortcuts in the menu
>Some binds are poorly done (nix's jump, honks, depth crawlers dodge and so on), we advise you to rebind them
>Depth crawlers walk faster diagonally, ie with forward+left/right key input
>You can increase the character limits by doing this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1814868040

I want to host a lobby!
>before everything, buyfags and piratefags can't play together
>multiple rooms can have the same name
>capitalization counts when searching for named rooms
>everyone with a shitty "kek so random" room name just makes it more annoying to find
>use vdf or /v/df so active rooms can quickly be searched for
>set a password, use the standard board pass, or you get fuckoff pubshitters
>post the name of your lobby, if it's buy or pirate, the mission number/difficulty and if it's DLC, and the pass
>be considerate and update the room's status, especially when you close it

I have autism and I want to weaponize it!

I want to make webms!
>https://rentry.co/8o2nn
>download Webm for retards
>follow the guide
>trim to get the proper clip, resize between 800 and 400 (700 works great)
>in Encoding, put a 3mb size limit
>in Advanced, put Slices at 4
>convert
>check result
>post if satisfying

Things to consider when making webms:
>The size limit is 3mb on 4chan, no sound on /v/
>The size of the webm is defined by the lenght, resolution, number of frames, optimization and other shit you won't care about
>If you want a long webm, you'll have to drop the other quality factors to stay in the 3mb range, mostly resolution
>If you have a short webm you can increase the quality of the other factors, like resolution
>Don't mind the bitrate, it's done automatically by Webm for retards
