Me and a friend are experimenting with veterancy. We found that a marine squad gets veterancy like this:
1 Marine squads Killed: 1 Veterancy
3 Marine squads killed: 2 Veterancy
5 Marine squads killed: 3 Veterancy
At this point, the veterancy caps… or does it? (I’ll get back to that later)
Next, we tested Veterancy gaining rates while i used Captain Cutter’s “Battle Hardened” Ability.
BUT MY UNITS COULD NOT GAIN ANY!
I have always noticed that the battle hardened ability didnt help very much, but now it seems it’s because Veterancy is BROKEN in the game. So, either activating the ability broke the veterancy, or it happened by some other way after my first squad got to veterancy 3.
I tried again with a different unit, and found the veterancy to also be broken on them.
Edit: Doesn’t seem to be listed under known issues on the support forum though, which leads me to believe this upcoming patch will not address the issue.
Would appear so. I have well over a 50% disconnect, game sync, freezing rate with this game. When I try to play with a friend we’ve had close to a 100% failure rate (only completed two or three games).
