BUT. I was able to coordinate with the team by taking the Horde and Oppressor's aggro. Slowly but surely, we kited bugs, died near Nitra deposits, and completed *Both* objectives in this angry Hornet's Nest, until we could get Extraction.

He never runs out of ammo, can mine high up ores easier and faster than a scout with the help of an engineer, can revive you twice by default and can carry heavy objects for you. That includes vacuuming up lithofoam. If you point him towards buried uranium or compressed gold he'll mine to it and get it for you. He's better than players could be in some respects, which I love. Kinda just a testament to how well designed this game is.

That was so helpful. Especially since I do nearly no solo at all, this was thorough and helped me understand what all the tradeoffs really mean. And given that I don't *care* if I win the mission so long as I learn, it was really nice to know that I didn't have to worry about the revives at all.

my favorite use of bosco is loading into a mission solo but set public, setting it to friends only, blasting through as many main objectives i can as scout using bosco to grab eggs/morkite/aquarqs/minerals, then switching back to public so i can share the rewards with others before getting out in record time. i’ve cut mission times in half playing like this.

very generous of you but the argument can be made to keep it solo if you don't want people to leech off your exp and hard work and to answer the reply, yes you would get full rewards which tbh is very helpful if you're trying to just finish assignment missions or promote quickly although not the most fun way to play the game as join late defeats the purpose of a coop game and you will generally feel lost when you enter as it's hard to determine what has and has not been explored

Should note that the rockets are incredibly clunky to use. After pulling out the laser pointer, there is a 1 to 2 second delay before right clicking will register a command to fire a rocket. Then Bosco needs to get in range as determined by his AI and then fire the rocket. This causes massive delays from when you decide you want a rocket to when you actually get one. Especially the initial delay on giving the command. Holding the laser pointer out, while a swarm is trying to kill you as you keep trying to tell Bosco to launch a rocket, is very frustrating and can lead to a death.

@Secarious

I found that a way to get around that is actually to call bosco with X shortly after ordering the rocket if he's not close enough to shoot it instantly. Because I have found that he remembers the target he's supposed to shoot at but ignores his pathing to that target, he just comes right to you and shoots the rocket as he passes by. Course this only works if the target is near you but most of the time that's the only time I'm asking him to shoot.

Not a build you mentioned, but 3-1-3-3-2 is great for spamming cryo rockets. You get 3 rockets at 50 seconds each, so if you fired them out evenly, you could fire a cryo rocket every 17 seconds.

The guard feature is kinda wierd from my experience, he sometimes just floats around doing nothing or chases a bug at the other end of the cave for some reason

Bosco has saved my arse from a cave leech more times then I can count without even firing a single bullet. Because he's always next to me I can hear when he pulls his weapons out. And if I hear that little click click and there's no obvious bug, I book it back to where I was a second ago, and almost every time it is shortly followed by a hiss and a pink hand retracting away as it near missed me. I then promptly thank my robot friend for having better eyes then me.

I think, after my ~80 hours, few of which were in solo missions, as far as objectives and mining go Bosco is OP. He's not powerful in combat but if you're good at not dying it doesn't matter, his immortality makes up for it. He's more powerful than scout at lighting, since he doesn't need ammo and can move anywhere to provide decent light. He can reach anything. He can't grab fossils and stuff, but he can dig aquarqs out so quick it's silly and carry em right back no traversal tools necessary. If the cave's open you can probably do aquarqs in like 7 mins. I was hoping for some more tips, but really, what can you say other than "remember you have access to (freeze) rockets and Bosco can mine while you pick flowers." The biggest hurdle on efficient Bosco use is remembering that the solution to most of your problems is a laser pointer ping away. See a mineral? Ping bosco. Need light? Ping bosco. Swarm threatening you? Rocket ping bosco. If you're quick and efficient, you might not even need 80 nitra during the mission depending on how quick you and Bosco can tick those objective boxes.

@@sushruttewari144 Its stupidly precise and pretty difficult. You need the Mole overclock as well to achieve the necessary penetration through terrain. Once you have that, it's a matter of using the terrain scanner to find where the eggs are on the map, lining up your shot with the egg and firing. Then without moving you line up your laser pointer with the hole you just fired and ping the egg. This will make Bosco fly to it and retrieve it. Repeat until all eggs are collected. I will say that this is more of a gimmick than a functional strategy, as the precision required is pretty rough and takes a lot of practice. Hope this helps! ROCK AND STONE!

what are you talking about, this is revolutionary, i was using normal rocks to blow tiny holes above/adjacent to minerals. This guarantees only 1 rocket used if its reliable. How big is the ice step?

Using Overcharged Rounds against a Bulk Det has saved me plenty of times. When I'm Cryo Driller I don't have too many options to fight them myself - so I just point Bosco at it and move into another room until it's done. (Maybe with the odd Axe/Ice Spear pot-shot.)

I carry both Revive mods because of the random circumstance that requires 3 revives to get through

Thanks, this really helped me as I'm just under 20 hours into the game! 🙏

Great job as usual, Axis!!! Very comprehensive and well polished guide.

great video, as always

I have found that a good use of Bosco's rockets is to use them to destroy sniper turrets on sabotage missions when I only have short - medium range weapons. They don't one shot but they get enough damage in that I can normally get a bit closer and chip away their last bit of hp.

4:42 OH, it's ping and RIGHT CLICK, I could never figure out how to get him to fire the rockets, I was using the LEFT CLICK, and I didn't understand why it didn't work.

You spam ping mineral then Bosco mine the world sway.

I forgo any rocket upgrades when there are other choices cause it's too clunky. BOSCO can soft-lock when trying to line up a rocket shot on an enemy obscured by terrain. In haz 5 solo I just can't afford spending time to command a rocket which just doesn't happen, as well as removing the much needed electricity debuff because he's sitting behind a wall.

I primarily use the Bosco rocket to knock down that last bit of mineral that seems to always get stuck up on that ledge. But otherwise, I don't really touch it, unless, if I can remember to. :3

love the new content! R&S :)

Thank you for explaining how to use rockets ❤

One thing I want to throw in that is somewhat niche but is worth considering nonetheless, is Leeches. While yes, Bosco WILL prio a leech if it grabs you, depending on your current health and the hazard level (I play a lot of Haz 4, for example) if you have Revive or Mining in T1, the odds of Bosco saving you before you take a down are VERY low. A lot of factors get in the way. How far away was he when you were grabbed? Is there terrain in the way? How hurt were you before? Did you have shields or are they weak or already broken? High Velocity Rounds in T1 greatly improves your odds of getting away from a Leech attack before it downs you. So if you're prone to getting caught up in in greasy meatballs, take HV Rounds. It helps a lot. It won't save you every time, but the amount of times Bosco's bailed me out of becoming dinner for a cave leech has increased a lot since I started running HV Rounds. Also a side note for the rockets... While yes, Overcharged Rounds in T5 is very useful, remember to check all of your choices against how you play. If you're like me, and you're using a LOT of cryo rockets, T5B's value gains a massive boost. Paired with the third rocket in T3, you can bring a lot more cryo to every fight you get into, taking only 120s (2 minutes) to fully reload from empty. As compared to any other T5 mod and 2/3 rockets: 180s / 270s (3 minutes / 4.5 minutes) - It's a difference you absolutely will feel, having another rocket ready in just 40s.

@nedbranezac1802

I just run heightened senses when solo. That frees you up to have bosco mining and carrying away at his hearts content without having to worry about leeches. Nor do you have to actively scan for them as most players can react and kill them in time with a HS notification. Rarely during combat do I ever have bosco not doing something mining/carrying related. Being able to insta kill grabbers with heightened sense is also a huge bonus for solo play. They can be quite an annoying enemy to deal with if the cave has poor line of sight. Especially in mule and black box objectives or in cave systems that have multiple large drops.

@@nedbranezac1802 Fair! To each thier own. I generally prefer Dash / Beast Master as my active perks in solo since I tend to be good about noticing the audio cues that leeches give if they're after me.

For me it's always hyper helper Bosco though if it's a hazard level or just a mission that I feel a little sketchy on in terms of my own survivability then maybe helicopter parent but usually hyper helper Bosco is best Bosco for me

While yea, the rockets are a bit underwhelming, there are still some pretty solid cases for non-cryo rockets in solo play IMO. Particularly, using abilities like Scout's pheremone grenades can get groups of anywhere from 2-10 grunts all clumped up, making them prime target's for Bosco's non-cryo rockets.
