The two acid vials that hit, did nothing that I could see. All in all, this was a mission that only gave us losses as far as I can tell.
One hit a deep one, and the acid shells from the blunderbuss took three deep ones down. I was speaking about the lobsternmen, the logic says ->armor eats at acid. I wouldnt be surprised if they deep ones have acid resist though. That said, the lobstermen seem to definetly have explosive resistance.
I dont say one could take em out, but a couple maybe. Also you might try next time to hit armored enemies from behind. That chainsaw attack might have got him that way. Truth be told I am trying to make logical assumptions here, I havent researched the lobsters. But it would make sense that acids would take them.
Maybe we will learn after the ladies put their tools on them. Overall I think I wouldnt pull out. But I can understand the decision. All things considered you did well out there.
EDIT: If the dark ones I pulled a couple of days ago are any indication of these types of missions, their corpses might lead to some new R&D stuff. But that again is speculation on my part.
EDIT2: Something that worked for me till I got another type of armor: Might want to consider the dedicated snippers/hatch gals and the mortar lady, be dressed in smoke armor in a permanent fashion? I did this and it worked wonders, perhaps if the hatch gals were awake taking potshots with the cross bow and the mortar we might have fared a bit better.
