“The Curse of Fenric” is probably my favourite classic Doctor Who story. The occult undertones give it such a creepy, atmospheric edge without ever losing the sci-fi side of things, and the whole WWII setting just adds to the mood. The Haemovore makeup and visuals still look genuinely unsettling, and Fenric himself is a great manipulative villain.

So, since the push for 100k to max post-expedition points landed, I've broken my Bettinas out of mothballs to use for PvE. And, I've got to say I don't understand the hate, these things are superb nowadays!

At IV, with a barrel extender and padded stock the Bettina shreds airborne Arc, capable of destroying Rocketeer engine pods with a few bursts - devastating. Equally effective for large ground targets, the Bettina allows you to strip off legs and armour plating effectively, though it lacks the snappy responsiveness of smaller guns, so surprise visits by Comets and Pops are harder to deal with.

During my sessions with the Bettina, I was attacked by fellow Raiders, I fell back to a medium distance and dominated, again, using the Bettina with controlled bursts gave my assailants nowhere to go and they lost the peek match. I can see a push or CQB being more challenging, and a need to keep folding back to stay at the optimal range for this gun. All of that said the second time I was attacked, at extract on Riven Tides it was close enough for me to mag dump without ADSing, and Mr "Enjoy the Free Kit" left with nothing.

If you've avoided using the Bettina because you've heard how bad it is, invest some resources in her, take her out for a spin around topside, she works best fired in controlled, three-round bursts and with decent stock and barrel mods, take plenty of heavy ammo and some ear defenders, what the Bettina lacks in stealth it makes up for in glorious, booming retorts.

TL:DR - Try the Bettina if it's been awhile, upgrade/mod it, take plenty of ammo, fire in three-round bursts and work at medium range.

What are those nefarious Arc up to? The Arc Turbines appear to be drilling into the surface, are they attempting to destabilise our beloved Speranza?!

Duck and cover Raiders!

Dalek Attack was amazing, iirc you could choose the 4th, 5th or 7th Doctor, with either Ace or a UNIT soldier as the second player. Some chill theme tune remixes and pretty funky sounds accompanied the Doctor as he thwarts the plans of Davros across your favourite holiday destinations: London, Paris, New York, Tokyo and er... Skaro!
