guys i might start KOS'ing people in solos something horrible is happening to me i can feel it... im becoming.. evil...
>>545206914team up with me then so you dont get the urge
Does upgrading the rooster faggot even do anything? He still brings back the same number of materials as before.
first for total clanker deathalso, tfw still no anvil blueprint
>>545207034TFW extra bp
Where does one find apricots and lemons?
>>545206814your PREVIOUS saar>>545126395
>>545207108gibill give you one of these bad boys
>>545207197oopsie! was in a hurry. made this thread while dropping into a raid
what graphic settings are you bros running....
hows the vulcano? should i bring it with me on a night raid?
hows this one?they really need to tell us the exact values of all talents
Solo stealth raiders rise up
>>545207108>>545207235imo, the anvil blueprint is worth at least 60k+extra niceties
>>545207752I maxed out the yellow stamina ones on the left of the first branch, what's next?
>>545206814Man I hope someone makes a new OP image soon cause this ones so fucking ugly.
>>545207582actually good, get the magazine mod and at least a level 2 shotgun choke
I have anvil bp and played it a fuckton, but I honestly prefer ferro 4 because of the accuracy
>>545208035crouch with the anvil and it focuses accuracy
>>545208035this. im a controller chud and the anvil for cqb/medium just isnt it for me. and for long range the ferro is just better
Who else /snackpilled/Waiting for the timer to run low before throwing 10 trigger grenades onto the bastion outside.
>>545208224certified rat behavior
>augment: none>shields: empty>gun: ferro 2>meds, utility: for pussiesoh yeah, it's time to sit in the tower next to ancient fort and grief
>>545208279>rat>avoiding pvp>being patient enough to wait out all other players>ratthis is just safety
>>545208380yes anon that is also rat behavior ur a little rat hiding in ur corner feasting on ur cheese before heading out
>>545208279Listen man I need those cores, and Buried city has been the most hellish pvp zone ive seen so far. I killed 4 people in the hospital earlier today and dont get me started on the Analyser location.
>>545208191I already do, and I think it's my fault for spotting people so far away all the time and wanting to take off their shields and reposition
>>545207582it fucking rapes, went into night buried city used the town hall key a 3 man came behind me and tried to rush but i just unloaded my level 3 mag and raped all 3 with a couple bursts
Buddy and I just dropped into DamGot aggro from a Wasp, killed itThen Wasps and Hornets kept repeatedly spawning right on top of us, without stopWe went inside a building and they kept shooting at us through closed doorsI hope that's a bug
buried city chads where we @?
is this game fun solo
>>545209146Yeah, even with fill squad you can often find friendly lobbies.
>>545209146It's extremely well geared towards friendless losers honestly. You can go solo which only matches with solos, or you can match with a group which has been fine so far
>>545209146Incredibly so.
>>545208279This is being a rat in a charming way at least. Bro is literally snacking on cheese scurrying away from players
teamed up with someone in solo and we completely operated on these 2 other guys to secure the fort loot
>>545209146It's Very fun solo or trios. Duos can be a little rough as squads is very Kill on Sight and you're down a player but its still pretty fun
Game needs a duos mode. Trios are too chaotic for this game
Raider caches are fucking nuts, now I have a spare anvil BP
Game needs a quads mode. Trios are too calm for this game.
>>545210206gib
The characters are not Italian enough for a game that takes place in Italy.
>>545210594true. needs more POC
>>545210718That's more of a Rome problem than Northern Italy, I'd figure.
where was I supposed to look at Barren Cleaning
why are people obsessed with getting an Anvil bp when you can just buy them???
>>545210594This game should've taken place in Switzerland.
>>545210206how much
>>545211225not4sale
>>545211185shitters go through more than 3 anvil per day and *NEED* more
>get knocked down inside elevator>elevator starts closing>doors push me out of the lift and I die
>>545211221fuck off we’re full
>meet someone in the bushes >he panic fires>call out don't shoot>he agrees and communicates sorry>I go away and shield up>he had actually circled around me and shoots me in the back because he didn't want to fight me head onThese fucking niggers are going to ruin solo I swear to god
>log in>500 free coinsThank you for funding my next deck, Embark
When will Embark Studios start selling good looking cosmetic bundles? Six months? A year?
>>545211137There's a downed mech that has been decorated. There's a dismembered leg on the side right next to an antenna that you need to interact with
>>545211702if I don't hear a real voice I'm shooting you it's that simple
Death to all carebears.
Once all my stations are maxed out THEN im KOS everyone.
>spawn on Spaceport>see a couple patrolling hornets close by>aw yeah, trigger nade quest time>aggro one and try to line up the nade>some fucking ferrofag who must have spawned behind me immediately opens up the moment he sees me>between him and the hornet I go down>second hornet comes back to investigate due to the noise>fucking dumbass LITERALLY RUNS UP TO ME, with BOTH hornets literally circling my body, and tries to punch me out right in front of them>ofc he gets tasered out of the animation and immediately starts panicking>get on mic and start laughing at his dumb ass>he tries to run but both hornets are trading shots and stunlocking the ever-loving shit out of him>he gets behind a nearby building just in time to eat another taser shot and I see his flare go up behind itYou get what you fuckin' deserve, you filthy animal.
Carebears has to be some sort of gov psy-op.
>>545206814You skipped thread #5?
>kill a few hornets because they somehow spot me>5 of them suddenly on me>fight of my life but i survive>teehee bombardier spawns next to mecool
>>545212439no, last thread was #5. OP fucked up in the last thread.also WTF are the humidifiers at
only +40 levels left to go....................
wheres the anvil blueprint.....
Do the jolt mines have a maximum duration before they detonate? My plan is to put one on an elevator console then hide nearby with an osprey and wait. No one fucking pays attention. They just run up and hit it and I'm going to use this against them.
>>545212547>WTF are the humidifiers atI found several in the Dam apartments when I'm looking for some MOTHER FUCKING PILLOWS
If you have second thoughts about killing someone remember: they already stuffed what they needed in their ass. Drop them.
>>545213169they detonate pretty fastonce you notice you've triggered one it's too late
>>545213169They will persist
I like feet
>>545209146very rare for multiplayer shooters to not be squadslop forced, i'd say so.
>looted anvil blueprint from location i don't rememberthe time has come and so i have i
>>545213663Excellent. Let this be a warning to all of you. I am out there. I have rigged certain consoles with mines. And I am waiting nearby. Live or die, choice is yours.
Anyone found blueprints for craft parts? Shit like magnets, spring and whatnotMy entire fighting style revolve around nades and I'm running out of part to make them
Is it possible to melee a Fireball to death without taking damage
>>545213883I've found a BP for Medium Gun Parts. Does that count?
>>545213883magnets and springs do not have blueprints unfortunatelyneed to find a good spot to farm them myself honestly
>>545213883>>545214082buy them
>found a whole-ass torrente in a kitchen drawerOk
This game will be impossible to get into in a month once everyone has done the quests. Solo rn is basically passive.
huh someone said nvidia filters dont work but they're workin for meno clue how to take a picture of the overlay though
>>545214139The scanner quest is already a pain in the ass, people camp that shit.
>>545213883check Celeste, you just need seeds.
>>545214116daily limit dickhead
>>545214139>This game will be impossible to get into in a monthWhy? Free loadouts exist and full purple is barely better than full green
>>545212580first capstone on the right in yellow tree is a scam btw
>>545214139Game has only been out for a ~week.. I'd only take about 2 weeks to catch up to the average player which at that point it purely becomes who's the better pvper
>>545214452Cause when I do the free loadout quests, I run past maybe 10 or so other raiders making their wait to their next objective. Now imagine a month from now when all of those players are just bored and looking for PVP
Whoever "Based" was, I know you're in here faggot and I'm happy shitting on you for being a 4chan user pissed you off that much.
>>545213879Trigger nades also persist and they resist direct explosions - you have to shoot them. By then, it'd be too late as they'll have been stunned by the jolt mine. All it takes is a careful watch then... *detonate*
>>545214741Noted
Needs a QOL update asap. A few perks are completely useless. Inventory management could be way better. I should be able to partially complete quests and workshop upgrades to remove shit from my inventory
>>545213612You think that until you crack them open and find the free loadout
280 stash and Level 5 Scrappy... I can finally play this game
The best aspect of the arpeggio has to be how easy it is to identify the shots are so no one can try to play dumb about being the one who shot you
>>545215989this + all workstations lvl 5 and expedition ready 2 takeoff.time to play the fucking game boys
Why do NA niggers come to Asian server?
>>545214139yeah resetting sounds worse and worse as time goes on desu, id rather just have all the shit i found instead of having to refind shit again.imagine finding an anvil bp and giving that up just to get +5% xp after reset
>>545216368cause asian players suck nigger ass without hacks
>>545216368White man's burden
Where the FUCK are rusted gears
how do we feel about the controller rumble effect in this game?we cant even turn it off apparently.its alright though. also, i thought my clown gear would look out of place but apparently im camo'd as fuck
>>545217439>controller
>>545217439i don't mind controller for comfy games, but if you use it for a shooter then you deserve every inconvenience visited upon you
>>545217439>controllerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EryEVZNY1SA
HOLY JUICER BP
>when youre a murderhobo but also save people from other murder hobos and let them livewhere there are saints I slay themwhere there are demons I slay them
Dear embark studios, Please.
>>545216368Because I like to squish bugmen.
>>545217439why is your character's ass so fat
Not that I mean to doompost but I don't see this game surviving more than a few weeks after being initially hopeful.>netcode worse than tarkov>can do everything the game has to offer within 48 hours (except collect every BP or grind the leaderboard, i guess)>novelty of friendliness will be gone in a few days when more people are progressed>absolutely nothing to hamper RMT, cheaters will be rampant>can solo every arc in the game pretty easily, including the queen. biggest threat is getting killed by timmy hiding in a bush for 20 minutes.>endgame involves movement cheese through jump + slide spam / using the snap hook to abuse peakers advantage because of how fast you movenot lookin good bros.
Is there an AFK timer in this game? I want to chill at map border until the final minutes
>>545218859Sorry bud but you are not the target demographic (working man) you NEET
>>545217439Go away avatarfag.
>>545213339just found one over there, thanks!4 more to go
>>545218859>peak
>>5452188595/10 bait
>>545218859>netcode worse than tarkovI know it's bad but let's not exaggerate here, it's not "desync from the server and randomly die because the server thinks you're standing still where it happened and some guy shoots you while you're miles away on your screen" or "literally half of your mag is going to be no-regs" bad.
>>545219048I work a full time job. The game is just that easy compared to something like speedrunning kappa in Tarkov.Tasks straight up have no variety or challenge. 80% of them are to walk somewhere and click E. Don't have to risk items or anything.In one weekend I have full level 3 workshop, expedition complete, and all quests completed. Only thing left to do is shoot everyone I see.
>>545219512That's some sweatlord shit. I only have half my stations at 3, 25/60 quests done and maxed my chicken out.
i only have one workbench maxed....
>>545219892>i only have one workbench maxed....It's a marathon, not a sprintPlay at your own pace
killed some dudes while i was glitched into a wall, its over for me
>anvil BP acquiredFinally, now i can play the actual game.
>>545219892it's a sprint, not a marathon, hurry the fuck up loser.
>>545220334i want to slytherin their chamber of secrets
Who the fuck are these fuckers, RMT people I guess?
>>545219445Really puts it in perspective, thanks anon.
>>545218859Agreed as someone who has seen hundreds of game launches and isn't blinded by the new shiny.Fun as hell right now but I don't see myself playing it in a month. Maybe even 2 weeks. No problem though, I got my $40 worth already.
>>545220595kek let me guess: you played on asian servershappened to me too.also, im back to eu because asian faggots are gay as fuck
>>545218859Bottom sounds based and fun, actually.
>>545220867it does not. sounds tiktok zoomer as fuck
This game is much more bearable than Tarkov because the downtime is short. In Tarkov you queue for 15min, wait for another 5min for that fucker with potato machine to load map, get head-eyed 5min into the map, spend 10min doing inventory management before you can queue up again.
>>545220993just wait until playercount drops to 5k and you will have your 15 min queues in ACK too
>>545220974>Actually that sounds *buzzword* *buzzword* as fuckAs expected from a tarkov bot.
>>545218593imagine walking up to something like a Queen and the point of damage is its main body but as soon as its about half health its legs extend and now you have to use long range weapons.
Best way to farm ARC circuitry?
>new to the game>loot stuff>head to elevator>have to fight another person>elevator leaves in 5 seconds>decide to just let him in>kills megame seems to thrive on just pissing people off for no real reason, why would I continue to play this game? especially when 99% of the combat is killing people from behind, and the other 1% is losing because they have a better gun. I haven't had any kind of actual firefight other than the one above. kind of boring
>>545220534harry potter is for women and faggots (I am neither)
>>545221450wow you so macho
>>545220534I wish my raider could have black lipstick.
>>545221449the tension is what makes the game
>>545221441Downed probes. Wait for map mod I guess
>>545221441Probes, preferably the still functional ones with three lootable panels.
adrenaline shot is the best item in the game. prove me wrong
>>545218859see I was thinking of getting the game but you are right, I mean what is there to do once you have technically everything? I don't see an end game
>>545221865
This game is rage bait like no other. >night raid sand town>get hounded by drones>"where's an entrance to anything?">30 seconds later have dozen drones shooting me>almost screaming 'WHERE THE FUCK IS A DOOR"
>>545207014He brings less since i upgrading it to 3 wtf. Its a scam
>tried snaphooking and ziplining up on launch tower loot>snaphook can only make about 2 levels per full charge>zipline can skip 4-5 levels eachIf you go solo or with a team, pocket your snaphook and snaphook about two levels up BEFORE you place a zipline so no one else can follow up up then start placing zips, you might be able to make the whole thing on 6-7 ziplines.
Lush Blooms at Dam, now is the time to find your rooster items
>>545221449Sounds like you're just dogshit
I love saving raiders from flying arcs from across the map.
Where to find snitches when it's not night on buried
Oh waiter, more meta blueprints please.
>>545222042Thtat's what it feels like to me now too
>>545223629why is your characters face covered in feces?
>>545223720I couldn't resist being the peepee poopoo man.
>>545223704Level 2 it would bring me max 12 pieces of each thing. Now i'm back to like 3 ? Wtf is going on with this.
this has to be my 5th bettina BP... meanwhile: still no anvil
>>545223519Swamp on Dam always has 1 or 2 roaming there.
>>545223720Cow poo festival
>>545223914Got 3 of those. I've seen other people saying the same. This shit is bugged/rigged.
Another spare anvil bp
I hate those shits so much
>>545224509just give me one already
>my greens are now blues>my blues are now darker blues>my whites remain whiteexcuse me, but nani the fuck? Who asked for this bullshit change
I like the game a lot but I think something is wrong wth my audio setup, maybe even my headphones. Ive had several solo fights where Ive teamed up with someone and theye been like "I hear someone" or a guy a floor above me, telling me he can hear me.Im not running around like a retard or setting off loud doors/alarms. It literally feels like Ive got a very short radius around me I can hear, and that others can hear me always before I can hear them
>>545223519Go to the top of the tower on dam and you're literally above them, go up there with a ferro and plink at them
>>545225284Use night mode
>queue solo>see guy get killed>rush to save him>down dude who downed him>lil bud dies>get shot by 2 others thinking i killed them>plead>theyarentlistening.jpgi had to kill them all... i didnt want to be the bad guy but i had to kill them IT WAS ME OR THEM !!!!!!
>haven't done my first raid yet
>>545225356sir going nig mode.
>>545225284night mode amplifies things like footsteps
>>545225896shouldn't you always have it on then?
>>545225928yes
>>545225767why
>>545226081i have to watch all the youtube videos that have AR "tips and tricks" and "things i wish i knew" titles first so i'll be the perfect raider
>>545226220lmao. and why do you have to be ingame for that?
>>545225284Same as Tarkov, most people have their volume up INCREDIBLY loud. Permanent-hearing-loss loud. This doesn't have as big a problem as Tarkov does with excessive dynamic range, especially thanks to night mode, but it's still a problem.
>>545226304in case i feel ready to raid of course
>>545226514nta but I hope you're skipping frequently, all game "tip" videos like that are deliberately long purely to hit ad revenue thresholds
first quest ive seen that gives coins lol
I'm only unfriendly if I have missions to damage raiders
rockateer owned me right as I was running to catch the elevator, some dude waltzes onto the elevator and sees me get owned, I'm crawling to the elevator and he thinks for .2 seconds then pops me ded It was the most disgusting cowardice and luck for him, I was even carrying the shotgun blueprint lel. Have to respect it. But seriously remove rockateers from the game
>>545227002bring a lure nade bro they are OP
>be me >free kitting >both my squadmates have real gear and medium shields>one falls down one of the trenches in the dam >he ends up in front of a squad of three >other squadie goes down the stairs >I drop in above from the catwalk>squadies get shit on by guy with vulcano >I get on top of the generators below the catwalk and kill all 3 of the other team with a level 1 stitcher>walk away with an anvil bp and a vulcano as the cherry on topThat was the most fun I had in a round
>>545225356>>545225896jesus christ really? this is why?
>>545227083fuck you're right, do you just toss it and the rockateer chases it like a dog and a stick or whatThe rockateer spawned out of the ether and immediately locked onto me, I swear to God. I was crouched in a bush and it just immediately locks onto me out of nowhere and I can't even dodge its stupid rockets
They need half nude skins for the girls
If I hear gunfire and a bastion, bombardier, or rocketeer shooting for an extended period of time across the map I WILL drop whatever I am doing and sprint over to help kill the bastard.
night time dam is on the menu babby
>>545227619western devs need to start outsourcing the char customization art and style to asian devs
Wish I could side with ARCThey are the good guys
>>545227660this except I am killing you and taking your shit
>>545227660>>545227787>I WILL drop whatever I am doing and sprint over to help kill the bastard>kill the bastardLet's face it, with this community, there's a 99% chance he meant kill the raider who is being owned by the rockateer
>>545227619No they just need skins that aren't fucking hideous and faces that don't look like deformed freaks
In order to take the capstone, do I need both the nodes in front of it, or just one of the two?
>>545227002Just remembering I had a raider hatch key too, didn't even need the lift. Why do I stop using my brain whenever I get a decent drop or I'm anxious about getting pvp'd
So le twist in the lore is that the humans that left earth are in the matrix(the finals) in some floating space station and the AI in charge of keeping them alive is making the ARCs to harvest resources off the planet to keep the alive right
>>545227619I want my raider to look like this.
I an dedicated solely to hunting snitches. I only go in with>ferro>40 rounds>5 bandage>2 shield chargerAnd all I do is hunt down snitches and shove their scanner up my ass. I plan on bringing 20 scanners into a raid and throwing them all at one person
>>545228184i want mine to look like this
>>545227967In order to take that you need a cumulative sum of 30 something points, then you can get it from either side
>>545228676>then you can get it from either sidePerfect, thanks. I really didn't want to take the lower connected one even for a single point.
>load into buried city absolutely naked>no augment, shield, guns, nothing>solid snake my way into the park, grab lemons, shove them up my ass>laugh when some guy chases me down and kills me for literally nothing
it feels like I'm getting spotted in instances where it should be impossible to see me, like through rain or fog or dense brush. Are there any specific graphics settings that I can turn down to make other players more visible at distance?
>>545228462I want mine to look like this
>>545226906same. and quite often I do it when exfiltrating with other raiders right before the hatch closes so they keep their loot and I get my quest progress
I actually disabled night audio mode again. rain and stuff is just too loud with it enabled
>>545228462I want to look like this
>kill leaper>only drops one leaper mcguffin>kill another >drops 3Pretty good I guess, I wonder how good those are to use as actual weapons
>>545229632i want you to look like this as well anon
>>545229013Foliage to lowShadows offNight audio mode on
>>545229680man where you finding these leapers?Now that i'm working on my station 3 I can't find the bastards anywhere.
>>545230491GO TO SPACEPORT, LOOK AROUND MUCH.
THIS is what I actually want my raider to look like.
How do you think they'll plan on fixing the skill tree?
>>545230491They seem to have guaranteed spawns, always one near the middle of spaceport, and always one near one of the elevator extracts on dam.They're pretty easy to kill too, 6 of those green sticky grenades and just a few shots takes one out
>>545230709>>545230709Too late i'm in here with my hullcracker time to get blasting.
Uhh okay I guess.
>>545220334I fucking hate women but I don't hate fucking women
the amount of white monsters I consume when playing this game
>>545230894Let me know how much ammo it takes
>>545230629what're those skills on the top right? I just bought and am downloading the game now.also I can barely tell the difference between those colors
>>545231261Sure. i'm snackmaxxing at the moment because if these freekits see me with the registered boomstick I know my ass is getting dropped.
What sidearm do I bring with Anvil
>>545231452Burletta
>>545231395More carry weight (over-encumbrance is a bitch in this game), chance to reveal loot twice as fast for faster searching, and the ability to pop open security lockers which have top-tier loot inside them but can only be opened with the skill.
>>545214481qrd?
this has to be the most useless location in the entire game.i went to all floors and there was not a single searchable object and only 1 zipline laying around.wtf is this
>>545231748I found a random torrente in a kitchen drawer there, lol.
>>545230629I completely disagree about the first big node on the right in mobility being bad. Gaining stamina as if you were standing still but as you walk is pretty nice. Always be moving.
>>545231892Walking isn't the jog you do, it's a separate keybind that's slow as shit.
>>545231748Definitely, it has fuck all in there ever. I've never been at night though.
>poverty kit with Stitcher>spawn in northeast corner of the map>loot some arc stuff and some apricots for my enormous cock>decide to go to the Testing Anus>hear the elevator chirp, run up the stairs from lakeside and arrive at the elevator as it pops>another person gets in, but gets shot immediately from a third person sniping from a rooftop>yell "YO GET IN">they heal as I trigger the exit>shoot them to knockdown before the Return to Spermanza screen appearsdevilish
I keep looking at the map and trying to see what other playable locations there could be, there's the volcano I guess
>>545231963Wait are you fucking with me or has it meant literal walking the entire time
>>545231892Walking =/ jogging
whats the point of quests other than just getting shit? just stuff to do?
>>545232327Sorry you wasted your skill point. It means walking.
>>545232327Literal walking, check it in keybinds. Put mine to capslock but haven't used it since hearing that the skill is garbage because the jogging your character normally does isn't "walking".
>>545232478>>545232491I might cry bros
>>545232327Holding W is not walking. Walking has a separate keybind that's slower than just holding W. That's why it's in red. Literally half the skills in this game are unusable dogshit because the devs couldn't just actually tell you what it means.Fun fact: It's actually faster to not use the walk skill than to just recover stamina while holding W.
>>545232419Same reason they exist in tarkov. They force players to go to different parts of the map that aren't just for loot and they unlock more blueprints, give big boosts of xp, and rare items as rewards. Some of them also help as tutorials for game mechanics
I only walk when I am looting a building.
>>545232419PvP in this game is only meaningful when there are stakes.There are only stakes if you have retards doing PvE to be pinatas for you.Quests trick retards into doing PvE.
>>545232556>because the devs couldn't just actually tell you what it means.It literally says walking. Not the devs fault people read the word walking and say "Oh wow that must mean jogging."
>>545231748Yeah they need to update it and put more inside there
>>545231261>>545231402Update:HULLCRACKER FUCKS against Big Arc.took about 10 rounds.
'high loot' areas should be random in each round. ie, currently yellow ones and currently red ones (and some that aren't marked at all right now) should be random colours each time (with the same total density overall).
Gangbanged by two wasps and a hornet again
I think my most favorite map is buried city by farthe whole urban map let you juke people left and right doing parkour and shitI was hating Dam gameplay where you just get shot by ferro if you ever stop by to do anything
>>545233370kek the snitch is the best
>>545233379Buried city and blue gate
>>545233379>I was hating Dam gameplay where you just get shot by ferro if you ever stop by to do anythingOh boy, you're going to hate "Space"port then, loads of open areas with no cover so some schmuck on a balcony with a ferro/renegade can just potshot you to death where they'll never be able to reach you.
>>545233379If you want a laugh, go to a high point and watch the city.It looks like a scooby doo chase scene with people darting in and out of buildings.
soon
people complaining about ferros haven't dealt with osprey campers yet
>>545234268tell us the hard numbers on what you get when u complete anon
>traveling about in spaceport>guy cracks by shield>repair>cracked again>smoke and repair>run around a wall>peeking contest>nail him once>toss a showstopper but he evades>jump off and dome him mid air with my anvil>check obs>wasn't recordingsad but he got owned, Ijust know he saw the jumpshot
Me and some randos in solos buried city just formed a roving death squad and killed every large arc in the map and then extracted with all the loot
>>545234381apparently you cant complete it just yet. the caravan departures at set times. sometime in december is the first departure i believe
>>545234545so you can complete it ahead of time but you wont be able to actually wipe until that date, that's kinda interesting?
I just sold all of my purple gear.I will never use it anyway because I can't risk losing it.>>545234602yeah apparently thats how it works
anyone know if there is a tagging nade blueprint?
finally. That last rusted gear was painful. Also, I am on my knees praying we get a loadout feature of some sort. I swear the biggest reason I let my stash get piled up is that I don't want to deal with looking at all that shit and end up taking something free/minimalist.
>>545234602basically you can complete it now and then you can finally play the game for the rest of the "season"
>>545234297The difference is that osprey campers have something to lose, where's any dipshit and his mother can roll a free kit ferro and grief half the lobby by taking worthless potshots from the nearest tall building
>>545234830Do we know if the bonuses stick around going into the next "season"?
https://streamable.com/rbxsf0godspeed you black emperor
>>545234968I think the bonus like extra skill points are just something you use up immediately next season. you aren't going to gain 1+X bonus points per level up.Just bonus up front
>>545221449try not fighting i guess? for sure there are assholes, but most people are nice. granted i have only a few hours in, as i'm a wagie, have a family etc, but i've only been shot at once in this time, mostly people are in for cooperating
bros whats the best way to capture the last ~60seconds of gameplay with the least impact on performance on pc?
>>545235169camcorder + tripod
NERF THE ANVILNERF SHOULDER PEEKINGBUFF ASS SLOTS
>>545235131stop using my haircut and my crosshair (mines white though as it should be)
>>545234268I haven't unlocked this year but I'm close. What the fuck is this, is this seriously grinding the privilege to be able to delete your character at the end of a season or what, why is that just not free
>>545235238Tighten up the netcode so people aren't being blatantly shot around corners.
>help a guy pinned by two wasps next to extract>no response to "don't shoot">take ferro fire from him>reposition and heal up>guy rushes me in a ferro>rape him with stichersmfw
>>545235295because you will get good shit for doing it. like 5 extra skillpoints on your next character. gotta earn it
shadowplay or OBS replay
>>545235235fuck off dsp>>545235459the new steam recorder aint it? or the xbox gamebar thingie
>>545235169steam record is probably the best right now
What's even the point of all these random melodramatic prerendered cutscenes when finishing random quests, none of this matters at all and there aren't any actual 'characters'
>>545235685There is a larger story and mystery around the ARC though. It's not completely worthless.But yeah I'm gonna keep holding E and just reading plot summaries instead
>>545235685all of the quests / "story" are pretty vague and uninteresting.
No one cares about plotGive me sex scenes
>>545235876They're either aliens, skynet or horizon zero dawn, mystery solved
>stranger is down at extract>call for elevator instead of knocking them out like an asshole:3
>>545235986I wanna FUCK that robot>>545236047No, they're ARC. it's literally in the title. duh
I just want a female skin that has a boob window and huge bouncing physics
>>545235986I hope the eventual social hub update that allows us to roam speranza gives us a NPC girlfriend with upgrades similar to the cock.
Yea I think this is one of those games for me that's only fun with friends. I enjoy Tarkov solo more than this for some reason.
Ferro should get changed into a single shot shotty.>>545236202That too.
Found a guy who got stuck floating in a corner. Tried to get him out hitting with hammer, told him about spamming space and unstuck but nothing seemed to work and I had to leave him. I hope you eventually got unstuck random person
>>545236431Knock him down and rez him
>>545230629Stamina return on taking damage gives you 1/4th of a bar, which is enough to dodge roll without tapping out if you were low. I think anything that gives you stamina for free is pretty good.
>>545236431using a zipline should work next time
>call someone a nigger because he's acting like a nigger>check their ttv after>it's a niggerits weird how you can always tell someone's skin color by the way they actwhy is that?
BROS HELP
>>545236102You just reminded me of that time in the server slam where I stole the extract of someone who had been downed by ARC and literally slammed the door in their face because I didn't realize they were crawling towards me until the last second.I still lie awake at night thinking about that one.
>>545236348please dear god let them have massive cocks and balls
Why can't I pull down the pants of a raider using a voice changer and have sex with them when they're downed
I have a mission for shooting heavy ammo at raidersIf I roll a Ferro I WILL go murderhobo
we need more finishing moves. and new skins for our pickaxe
>>545237284They're all women, sorry bro.
>Dont take freee kit>No shield, no kit>Just ferro and 30 heavy rounds, no bandagesehehehehehehe
Predictions for the upcoming shredder and matriarch arcs?
Why can't I knock out and impregnate free kit users?
nb desu
>>545237573my best so far was 29k+
>>545236102That's pretty cool. I just blew a guy's head off while he was trying to extract with me. It was pretty funny.
>running to exfil>someone already called the elevator>I run inside and hit the buttons>as the doors are beginning to close I see the guy who called it trying to run in with leaper aggro>he calls me a piece of shit fucking asshole and the last thing I see is the leaper flying towards him as the door slams in his facelmao
I want to raid my raider if you know what I mean
>>545237884I want to extract camp your raider.
>>545237396I'd kill for one like Caustic's beatdown finisher, instead of one dinky punch you just pummel the ever-loving shit out of them.
>>545236515>>545237126Neat, I'll start bringing one of those into my solos. I've also gotten unstuck once by throwing a grenade at my feet, the throwing action unstuck me and I had to dodge the blast
>>545237884he looks like he gets killed by free kit players
the hotwheel is such utter dogshit, especially since you have to do an animation and visibly equip itemsquick use items should be on 3/4/5/6, not just the fucking useless garbage melee weapon on 3
Is there a list of items that can be sold without needing to worry about using them for upgrades or crafting? I feel that list would be rather small.
>>545238220yes
My god the guns look and feel so shit in this game. Just look at the Kettle gun. What the fuck is that abomination?
>>545222105Or, just zip to the top with the zip lines on the map??
>why do the basic junk guns look badwow i dunno man
Yeah, heh. I'm just that kind of guy
>>545238496>>545238621almost like they purposely decided to make fake ugly nonsensical guns instead of real designs
>>545238496>lookYeah I'm not a fan of the makeshift junk look either>feelHard disagree, they feel hard hitting, sound loud without actually being too loud, the smoke effects are great, the distant cracks are fantastic, they're unwieldy enough to be interesting and force you to pace yourself, etc.
>>545238621Even the rare and epic ones are junk guns though. What are you on about?
>>545238220Don't forget you get unlimited free basic materials from your chicken and can use the refiner to combine things into other components, so don't worry too much about selling/recycling those since they're relatively easy to reobtain.All consumables, everything that says "may be worth a few coins", anything rusted or broken, and all arc parts other than alloys can be recycled with zero worries.
So what’s the lore behind the robots? Are the rich people in space sending them?
>>545238496Yea I'm not a fan of the gunplay. It's not awful but it's not great either. Just sucks it brings down the rest of the game for me.
damn this general is kinda dead
>>545239083It was never alive, the very first thread took like two days to archive.Also do these quests ever fucking end my god
>spawn NE spaceport>gunna start my run through trenches to gather weed leafs for meds>buddy sees a person and starts KOSing>join the fight and try to wrap >jump over rocks into rock pit>wtf no way out>buddy dies and they are looking for me for a minute while I try to find a way out (there is none)>figure bucket of crabs>”hey can we actually just be friendly now.

>>545238520The launch tower event* locks the ziplines, you can't get them unless you find a fuel cell. With this you could skip searching for it and go right up.
>>545239189I was playing with a random squad and some guy started begging us not to kill him and but my teammates didnt care and killed him and then as we were finishing him he was role playing dying calling us bastards
On a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to>make it to the confiscating room on blue gate>loot everything>exfil?
>>545238665>Revives buddies 10 times>Brags about it on hereWell I guess at least you have friends, that's more than some here.
If people knew how to put utility to its fullest potential, they would nerf these items. Certain combinations are insane
>>545238919There was going to be an alien invasion, so humanity spec'd hard into space travel to evacuate the planet and stay cryofrozen in the oort cloud, with some innawoods boogalos instead building bunkers planetside for a last stand. The aliens ended up never showing up, but the billions in orbit don't know that. The ARC is humanity's AI auto-adapting army they sent back to earth to reclaim the planet and check if it's still habitable, they're all programmed to kill on sight and have no idea they're actually fighting humans or that anyone is even alive on the planet.
>>5452394943. Just learn to avoid flying drones to get to the entrance to underground (preferably west side)From there it depends on how many sweats loaded into your game but BG is so big it’s easy to not run into people if you stop look and listen
Where do I find isolated Hornets
>>545239898where does the finals take place in all of this, are the rest of the humans chillin in cryosleep VR
>>545239898Lmfao is this real?
>>545239898So ARC are the good guys and raiders are hindering the rebuild, got it
>>545240156It's implied the aliens never showed up because they chased and killed the defenseless spaceships instead after they launched all their arc to earth, and that the arc are serving masters they don't know are already long-dead with the ayys on their way to earth to clean up shop any day now. Also some hints towards time travel being involved at the very end.
>>545240156>humans are actually... le bad
>>545240338I will side with ayys or robots any chance I get
>>545239735My favorite utility is open door, throw heavy grenade into small room, close door
>>545240306>Also some hints towards time travel being involved at the very end.what

Do headshots count while shields are active?
Do gas grenades even do anything?
please... i need p2w stash slots NOW
Gotta say, I'm not really enjoying the game. I thought I might because I'm a lifelong fan of Hunt Showdown, but there's a couple things in this format of extraction that's just irksome. It's well made and objectively good, but not for me I guess.
I haven't had this much fun in a game in a long time brosI don't know what it is, the enemies physics and tactile feel of the combat, all the organic interactions with players, the atmosphere of each raid ???I thought I was going to hate this game
>>545240825my friend hit me one, and the stam drain was strong. they linger, so it's a good enough area denial.
anyone want to trade their spare Anvil blueprint?

Too hard
>>545241001I'll trade mine for a silencer bp
How are people even 'trading' can you do it on the menus in a party or do you have to truce in game then extract?
>>545241150Were you shooting the body instead of focusing 2 of the rotors?
>>545241106true, but it’s free at least. they need to add finishing moves and pickaxes skins. And beards >>545241150>throw wolfpack>loot dead rocketeer
>>545241236>do you have to truce in game then extract?This part, but it also works if you're in a party together.Don't even need to extract, just put it in the safe pocket and kill yourself.
>>545241236in-game market and mail with COD option, the markets fucked though since random materials and valuables have wide variance on value
>>545241236just drop it on the floor man

KOSgods post em
>>54524241655 kills seems kinda ass for 21 hours
any apex general chuds in here? this is the closest we are getting to peak apex
>>545242491maybe for 21 hours, but 20 hours a 47 minutes and 59 seconds? yeah im thinking im going pro
>>545238013They absolutely should adopt this style of execution.Camera angle change for greater impact, etc. If I recall correctly, Apex would let you cancel these too if shit hit the fan, so I see no reason why they couldn't do that here too.The current punch is just so weak, and I think the idea of shooting a raider, robbing them blind of anything they might use or need to survive on the surface, and expecting them to some how get back to Speranza is a bit weird, and probably the only real "weak point" of the games lore. I don't know why they don't just say you died and leave it at that. But that its only "canon" that you never died in a raid.>>545235131I have no idea how you saw this guy in the smoke. I'll chalk it up to webm quality, but that was pretty crazy. I'd be pissed if I was him. I also feel bad utterly deleting someone from so far away like that sometimes.

>>545239083>>545241781I just don't think casuals will appreciate losing their loot/gear to bullshit encounters will players over and over, even if the game is technically fairly casual friendly and it isn't THAT hard to find new gear. It's just not a good feeling in general and really feels like time wasted. Despite all the hubbub about the emergent encounters, I find 90% of people are still just the shoot-on-sight kinds, with the game itself providing little incentive to opt for peaceful encounters with players
>>545242507I've heard that a lotDoes the combat really feel like a 3rd person slower apex?
>>545242210Probably makes it very easy to exploit third party camera in egregious ways. Thats my main assumption, cause I too would have liked to go prone.But I can see why they didn't with how vertical the game gets.
>>545241298Oh right in a party and safe pocket, duh
This game is objectively really well-made and they nailed the atmosphere but unfortunately it cements to me that third person shooters are inherently soulless. Knowing exactly when someone is about to push takes so much enjoyment out of pvp.
>>545242915damn if only there were utility items
>decide after a few friendly runs to kill a man I see leaving a POI I wanted to loot>cold wave of guilt as I sift through all of the drivers and quality materials they obviously busted ass forNA servers got me fucked up

>>545243295just entered my third raid in EU, some fag came up and killed me after i was weakened by a clanker, didn't even loot my body, didn't even say anything
>>545211930Is there any idea what that was? Did they hack a mech? Did they microwave it? Was it arc on arc violence? Was it the androids or another group of people?
Always KoS. Sea of Thieves is the result of letting carebears get complacent. You do not want that with this game.
>>545244643>sails sloop into the windI will waste your time
if the next guy i meet in solo kills me i'm gonna start killing everyone i meet, this pacifist shit sucks, you're putting your fate in the hands of random internetfags hoping they'll be cool
>>545221709WAIT THE PANELS HAVE DIFFERENT LOOT? THERE IS NOT ONE PROBE INVENTORY?!
>>545243539Saw a streamer oneshot a rocketeer with a wolfpack, he airburst it right next to the thing and it ate pretty much the entire payload as a result. Would bring two just in case though.
>>545244815you gotta like talk to them anon and use your autism powers to find out if they are lying. You do use your autism power right?
>>545243769https://h.uguu.se/uGrClhsF.mp4Seriously why push a ladder when you came in with an actual kit?
God I love easy quests rather over the harder slot wasters
>>545244815You're supposed to talk to them to lull them into a false sense of security, then kill them for their loot like a true psychopath.
>>545244957last person i ran into shot me before i knew he was there, zero interaction, i'm already jaded
>>545244850Downed probes are one panel, the ones still standing are lootable on all three sides that pop off once you crack it. Arc circuitry for days.
>>545245039i just don't feel like a psychopath anon, i don't mind killing raiders, but not by backstabbing. i'll let the next few engagements decide how i'll handle solo in the future like a true pragmatist.
>>545245043It's really not the end of the world lmao, ive been playing for about 5 hours now and have had zero people gank me, i had to gank one guy tho cause he was going schzio and yelling at himself and i thought it would be funny to kill him. It was
I guess I'll be doing loot runs at night from now on. Found in a blue recycling binLocked rooms at night are probably nuts too.
>>545231748I think it's yellow only because it has a key door
>>545245048Oh yeah, and all the stuff will be in pristine condition, no "broken" items.>>545245178Locked rooms at night are insane. Had Dam Control Tower all to myself on one and walked out with 2 Renegades, a Tempest, a Vulcano, and a Wolfpack grenade.
>>545245178>Locked rooms at night are probably nuts too.They definitely can be. I'm surprised you can craft Wolfpacks, but guess I shouldn't be.
>night raid with free kit>find this in a random drawer in some small building I spawned in>run to get the fuck out of there since butthole was superglued shut
how many of you went in and used a key as apposed to waiting for the door to be open from others
>>545245442>do it againwhat the fuck
>>545245525Just rat with a key in your safe pocket, zero risk
my biggest fear is finding an anvil blueprint on a free loot run and getting killed by some asshole when extracting
>got out with an Osprey BPWow, an actual sniper rifle. Is that scope usable? Curious to see how well actual snipers hold up to stuff like the Ferro.
>>545245781>holds up to the ferroit does 5 more damage, just worst against pve
>>545242507I miss season 1 apex
>>545245834no scope on the ferro though

They can still extract even while down, and you don't risk losing your shit at the 11th hour because you were an uwu fwenwy DONT SHOOT faggot
How many Ferro 1 shots does it realistically take to down a rocketeer?
why is bluegate like pure pvp (solo)? or is that just where the game is headed
>>54524667299% sure the spawns are bugged on it, I've had multiple games in a row where I spawn next to 2+ other players who also just spawned in. I can't imagine forcing players into a 4-way FFA five seconds into every match is intentional.
>>545246616people like you dont have the iq to understand how your individual actions have repercussions because it's a little too indirect. ie youre nigger brained, not intelligent
>>545244643nah fuck off, you want implicit pvp get some friends and play squads, solos are for looting and chungus reddit extracts
>>545246662a lot, at least 2 stacks, you can maybe finesse hitting the rotors from directly beneath it so you don't have to destroy the armor, but that's hard
>>545246761i just lost 2 kits from getting FOURTH-partied. im going to need to go full solid snake for the first 10 min or something
>have raider damage missions>some guy at extract says "don't shoot" and drops me a music boxStop making it so hard
>>545246793i already said im a rat nigger, i dont give a fuck. its a pvp game, go play a singleplayer pve game if you dont want to get killed

>>545246761>>545246919with how the tight and close the player spawns are it's incredibly likely you'll run into 1 or 2 people and even more depending on where you're running toblue gate is especially bad with this because it's insanely fucking opensometimes ill personally wait like a minute or so before running out of spawn to avoid shitty early engagements like thisI haven't run into the double player spawn shit before though

Just found Lance's mixtape while doing one of his quests, worth 10k. Do I just sell it or do I need it for something later on?

>>545251892Where the FUCK do you get rusty cogs from?
>>545223914rng is rng. To be fair, there is no way to code an RNG algorithm to be truly, genuinely random. You can get close, but you can't get TRULY random.

>>545252075Thanks, bookmarking that also.
>change raider to black>people now kosBros......
bros i'm scared of night raid in solos... do i do it?
>>545232536you can respec out of it with extensive effort into the expedition tree.
>>545253143are woman ring finger smaller than index? I never nooticed
>"DON'T SHOOT!" from behind>im the one with no shield and half health and zero bandages and holding purplesFine by me
>>545252445it wasnt good, but it wasnt the worst. they really wanted to pvp.i used my lure to fuck the other squad and landed like 8 anvil shots and got all 3 kills on the first party, and this little shit still looted up first. but then we got jumped by 2 more squads and he died and we left him. too many freekit shitters, why would oyu even want to pvp at the start?
>>545253267do it, they're comfy
>>545253143are trannie haters all closeted or what
buried city is where all the cool stuff happensspaceport is all kos sniping niggers and betrayal if pretending otherwisedam is noobs and questing, tryharding on nightblue gate is like buried city but more open
What are the best things to loot as a brand new player? I just keep finding what seems like junk
>>545254520i got my taste of sniperniggers on spaceport and it was no joke. it's not usually a problem on solo, thoughblue gate has been turbo pvp though
>>545254548track your needed materials for workshop upgrades and you'll get a little eye icon on everything that you need
>>545254548there's really too much, you're going to have to feel it out; but...whatever you need to level your workbenches. of the basic materials metal seems to be the biggest bottleneck, then rubber (if you have to choose what to keep) though if you're good about collecting and breaking down arc alloy its not as bad
>have to spend 20+ hours getting the 400 raider tokens from the pass>server outage for 1 hour yesterday and people get 500 tokens if they logged on just causeI would be absolutely fuming if I missed out on that
is the toro not a 2htk (at least on light)?
usually my runs are around 10k-30k in value so seeing this at the end was a surprise
>>545255089nice run, where was this? buried?the light mag can be bought for ~2k or crafted for basically nothing; it makes a pretty big dif for the stitcher
>>545255237>nice run, where was this? buried?ran through the hospital on buried city for whatever reason that place has an insane amount of trinkets in the lockers and drawers
>>545255395Can confirm, ran through there several times looking for cracked bioscanners and the lockers were packed with raw value.
Which Anvil is the most cost effective from Anvil I to III
not being aggressor is anxiety inducing, gotta put so much trust in people, hard thing to do in EU with so many Russian playerssidenote: is there any point in not using free loadouts when you're a new player? except for the prison pocket slot it doesn't seem worth it, no skill points or gear so likely to get owned in PvP, at what level should i stop being a pussy and use my own loadouts? when i can comfortably run ferro/stitcher loadouts with medium shields?
>>545255518i'm curious about how crazy the loot there is at night but i'm too much of a pussy to do night runs lol
>>545255713IV
>>545255732run nonfree whenever you can, the weight, slots and freeslot are too important. just building or buying a ferro 1 and stitcher/kettle is nearly free anyway
>>545255713the upgrades are significant, but ive been fucked up by a few anvil 2s, so that's what i do if im running light. it feels fine
you FOOLS you're all gonna cry when the hidden 7th expedition stage requires 1000 bettina bps
>>545255906i guess you're right, if i found an anvil blueprint and got killed on a free loadout i'd probably /wrists
>>545255795The main thing you gotta worry about is more ARC (avoidable if you're smart about your pathing) and a bit higher potential for PVP (bring a stitcher, it's cheap and hospital's a bunch of tight corners where it'll dominate if your peeking game is on point). Chances are you might not even get into a fight though with how friendly solo tends to be, just gotta remember to speak up if anyone announces themselves.
>>545255395lockers and drawers are goatedI don't know what the fuck is the point of breaching containers>loud>long animation>makes you pull out the melee weapon>all for worse loot
the ferro -> burletta swap is crazy fast. was not awaremy game isnt that dark, it was just the compression or something>>545256275breaching is at least valuable in tech areas
wew, guess the normies left already. It's all kosm today
Rats should be limited to the hairpin.
>>545256759what servers and what areas do you guys who say it's all kos queue into? on the na server in the normal areas everyone's just as friendly as day 1 in solos
>>545256819OCE, but it matches into Asia sometimes too
>>545256759i started playing today on EU and people seem pretty ratty, about 50/50 so far whether aggressive or not, and haven't met any talkers yet. might become a kos-tard myself to have the upper hand.
I just got a surveyor vault from a courier
>>545256594I mean, you're basically whipping out a sidearm, yeah it'll be faster. Wondering if the anvil gets that switch speed too, now that I think about it, I'll have to test in the shooting range later.
>arc surveyor questGod I hate this
i know people are probably fed up with Tarkov comparisons, but it would be cool if we could walk around inside our "base" and have some progressive decoration to view in thereor even more ambitious, have Speranza be a instance zoned social multiplayer hub
>>545257007Pretty sure couriers can drop just about everything up to blue rarity ARC loot, even the unique stuff that can only be found on certain ones?>>545257216Need to kill one, right? It's kind of overkill but if you have a wolfpack, it's pretty much a guaranteed instakill. You can just keep it in your safe pocket until you spot one.
The Bettina BP has to be bugged right? Or just has incorrect rarity values or something? I have found so many of them and its actually starting to get annoying. I cant fucking even make it yet.
>>545256865>made that comment about everyone being friendly>met a kos faggot in a run just now but managed to run away from himi wanna say that 90% of the runs end up with friendly people but there's still a chance of some autistic counter-strike retard wanting to gun you down but at least i got this blueprint which iirc people are saying is really good?
I've been trying to get some lemons and apricots from the buried ctiy but it's a warzone there. Not only are there millions of arcs patrolling the garden for some reason, even if I manage to find some fruit, everyone here seems to be shooting on sight. So far everyone has been friendly so it's a little weird, but I guess I'll have to start shooting at everyone at this area at this point.
>>545250230Hairpin and no shield
>>545257692Definitely, everyone's experiencing it.
>>545257735>>545256767
>>545257657>have Speranza be a instance zoned social multiplayer hubThat would be really cool. The game is successful enough that I think the devs could do it if they wanted to and are based enough. I hope they do.
I'm going fucking insane
>>545257657>>545257872>have Speranza be a instance zoned social multiplayer hubWhat? So you degenerates could ERP?
>got a magnum blue print>killed a guy in two shotsIs the magnum retard strong
>>545258034It's literally a Ferro with a 6 round mag and faster fire rate, fuck yeah it's strong as shit.
The cock brings you resources relative to your raid length, I don't actually know what the ugprades do but I've noticed that I get more seeds compared to the other mats at level 5.
>>545250590I'm so fucking jelly man I haven't gotten a single epic bp for the augments. Shit's way too rare.
>>545258198You also get more if you die
>>545257992You dont have to be shy anonyou can participate too if you want :)
>somehow keep finding one raider stash after another on an ARC graveyard Dam event for some reason>walk out with 4 medium shieldsOk
neat
If you’re emoting “don’t shoot!” the moment you hear footsteps in the distance instead of laying low, you get the KOS treatment.
Is it me or are hostilities rising? I suppose once people have grinded their quests and benches there's not much else to do besides pvp.
>>545257992>What? So you degenerates could ERP?i'm sure some degens would do that, but with how people run like 5 different char presets even the most die hard gooners would probably get bored quickly

I've seen the bots ignore noobs and go full aggro on other players.I've seen bots go down in one hit for some players but tank multiple shots for other players.There's some bullshit going on here.
>>545259054Sunday was jolly cooperation everywhereMonday was potshotratkos and nothing elesetuesday will probably be deathmatch again
>solo player>still dying to arcs hovering around extract pointsi'm running free loadouts until i figure this shit out, annoying looting like a rat all round and avoiding pvp only to get shit on by clankers
>>545259183>I've seen bots go down in one hit for some players but tank multiple shots for other players.probably just down to people who knows each arcs weak points and those who don't
>sneak up behind someone>wait until I'm really close>announce myself by telling them I'm friendly>watch them have a little heart attack as they spin around and spam don't shootThis is fun. One day they're going to turn around and blast me though
>>545258974i hope you understand the meaning of 'dont shoot' when i come from behind w/ my gat out
Do the devs really use machine learning AI shit to make the clankers smarter over time or did the tiktok comments lie to me?
>>545259591it's not some scifi evolution, but it's something
9/10 times if you shout don't shoot and the other person doesn't say anything back it's a faggot that wants to kill you
>>545259591your first mistake was using tiktok but nothe ai is pretty good though
>>545259591No. The Clanker AI is basically if it loses a leg or a rotor it tries to compensate and stay airborne/upright.
>>545259591no, or else they'd be doing things like actively setting ambushes for players at hotspots, or waiting until players finish gunfights to 3rd party the survivors
>>545245048Man I always thought, that after I break one open, that all hatches share the same loot. Thank you for letting me know.
Where the fuck do I farm mushrooms? I can't find shit in hydroponics on the dam map.
>>545259709>your first mistake was using tiktokI like to get dinner recipes from it
really glad peanut saved this game
>>545259219Sometimes it's better to get knocked down by ARCs around extract but still extract
>>545259183Hullcracker oneshots all the flying shit. If you also shoot two back rotors they will crash down and most of the singles hot weapons break the rotors in one hit.
>>545259840Wait for Lush Bloom map mods
>>545259219it's happened twice now that a duo of hornets just decide to fuck me up even though I'm stealthing, one time it was a rocketeer & one tapped me

had a fun few days but it's mostly what i expected it to be now. people just sitting in corners peeking third person with high damage single shot weapons
Quests that require wires to fix a box don't consume the wires. I wonder if they're even necessary to bring at all
i lost two hullbreakers today...i can't even buy another one from the vendor...i just wanted to kill some bombadiers...
>>545260334>>545260683But where do they actually spawn? I heard around the bases of trees in the swamp but I have yet to see one.
>>545260884The map on the OP has reported spawn points. They don't always spawn at those locations but those are the areas you want to check
>>545260845Throw two wolfpacks instead. Hullbreaker is ass.
>>545261512i sold all of the ones I got though missions without knowing how good they were and don't have a recicipe
>>545260884With Lush Bloom map mod they spawn in baskets (container)
>>545260821Yest. didnt bring them
Do weapons refill their durability when upgraded
>>545261765No. Repair first, then upgrade.
im addicted
>>545262080so its just like a spray on bandage that can be used whenever

>>545262572and it can be repaired
it seems i too must KOS, that's just how this goes i guess
>>545262923i know flame nades are great against leapers, are they as efficient on bombardiers?
When do I "get" the game? So far it's just been>spawn in>go to a looting zone>hear fights, but see no one>hear robots, but avoid them>loot some worthless crap that I don't even know the purpose of>either extract or get 2 tapped by a player i couldn't even see>rinse repeatI have all the worktables, but now I'm wondering where I get blueprints, what I should be crafting, which table I need to upgrade first, what can I sell without thinking about it, and why can't I find any players?
>trigger nade resistant to all types of explosives>even resistant to other trigger nades
i don't have a flame grenade recipe fuck
>>545263146you don't get it
>>545263146you have to go to high loot areas to find players. you need to use a microphone to team up. most players don't want to be seen.
>>545263257thx 4 the testing
>>545263659Speaking of testing, I was trying to verify that talent of "You regen stamina as if you're standing still while walking"I think the normal "jog" is not what they mean, but you have to manually toggle on the walk to get the benefitI'm wondering if you cover more ground by toggling walk, or if the distance you lose by not jogging is offset by the stamina gain.I tried testing it by running around on Dam near the apartments since it's nice and flat, but some retard hit me with a Farro before I could finish my tests.
>need 1 (one) more olive or the fucking chicken is NOT satisfiedBlasted bird...
Love/hate relationship with this game so far. Dying to an ARC that locked in on you from a mile away, right at an extraction point while waiting for the hatch to open, and then getting finished off by a hiding NPC raider is one of the worst feelings I've ever experienced in vidya games. Pure rage inducing
>>545263257>>545263659>resistant to virtually everything>even blaze grenade or impactsEXCEPT flame spray for some odd reason..
>>545263917yea i believe that's the case... it might make sense w/ controller when you can tilt the stick (they might be able to walk a bit faster before triggering jog), but it's worthless on pc
>>545264036>locked in on you from a mile awayHide in a building and they go away after a while
>>545263998Just wait until that motherfucker wants to get high on shrooms and relax on 3 pillowsThen you'll know true pain
>>545263998Olive Garden has two guaranteed olive spawns even without map mod
sorry guys but I had 5 hours on it so it might not go thu
>>545264036if you didn't clear the map of arcs you did not beat the round
kinda need the game to stop crashing
why can't I track project shit REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>its a faggot retard comes to this general to tell everyone they refunded the game episode
>all of them panicked and either ran or flailed aroundI almost felt mean doing this quest on Dam Battlegrounds, everyones so used to being nice
EU5 releases in 2 hours
Can trigger'nades stick to your teammates?
>>545265140just shoot them when the hatch is closing and tell them it's for the quest
It’s going to avoid/kos mode for me. I don’t like how muddied the pvp/pve is. People got quests done/built up inventory and are more energized.. maybe have a mode with more/bigger arc to team up on and just accept the other mode is kosAlso been playing with the shrapnel grenade today and it’s awesome to pop someone who is distracted
can someone tell sweden to sell me p2w stash slots? i actually dont know who the devs are still
>>545266080no, but I think they stick to enemies.
>>545266439The thing is, once people have done their quest lines and got most of their workbenches, there's nothing to really do except pvp?
>>545267364This is exactly what happened to DMZ --- it was a good balance and first few months allowed joining of squads up to 6. Then they removed that and development stopped - no more quests became all out sweat pvp
>>545266756Use your resources on expedition
>>545267364>weekly trials - 100% pve oriented and some are coop adjacent like looting supply drops/probes>projects - a massive loot grind 90% of the playerbase hasn't unlocked yet>events - probably like expeditions but timed every couple monthsI don't get this "there will be nothing to do" meme unless you forgot most haven't no lifed the game like us. And embark seems to have a lot of content in the pipeline. But I still like helping randos even after I finished my quests and upgrades. Plus shooting arc will never get old.
where to next for skills? do i pick up the two conditioning skills that makes it so that i make less noise when breaching and breaching takes less time? or do i go into survival?
>>545266439They have a map mod with a queen and harvester on it and I see people teaming up there even in squads. So it works. I'd like a map mod that greatly increases small arc spawns, so tons of wasps and hornets. Easy enough to kill when you're prepared, but numerous enough that you don't want to risk shooting at a player and attracting the clankers
>spending hours upon hours a day doing raider chores>so I can get cosmetics such as "shit on face" and "man balding"
>>545267364Frankly it’s a fun social game but straight-pvp is not rewarding materially most of the time. Small chance I’ll get a pink or two but most people won’t be using their best stuff and have just scavenged a bunch of bullshit
>>545267364>>545267839Both are true. There will be more PvP but overall the game will have more PvE-friendly players because the objectives of the game and events in general seem to be more aimed at co-op instead of pure PvP like other extraction shooters. But it is a fact that when people are done with their main pipeline they will focus on PvP.Though all that said, group queue has been a bloodbath since first minute, it's only solos that are carebear zone.
>>545268023It's just busy work to pad out the free deck. The next one will have waifu faces, fit bodies, and stances that make your raider actually look cool like the model ones in all the outfit cards. Trust the plan.
>>545268291lol
>>545268158it was carebear for me in NA. maybe there’s some sort of mmr. I started doing pvp occasionally on Sunday, now I am pvp’d almost every encounter with other raiders. Even got spawn-killed at 28 minutes last match
>>545268117>straight-pvp is not rewarding materially most of the timeThis is why I don't understand why people are so into opening fire onn everyone they see. I rarely bring stuff in because running around with the free loadout is so fun. Great, you beat my kettle 1 and looted my empty corpse. Was it fun for you? At least camp a rare loot zone or something
It's surprisingly how many friendly players and squads I'm encountering. Even when I got downed I had a conversation with the dude that downed me and he picked me up with a defib and let me go.
I think the retrofuturistic Alien/Star Wars aesthetic is really cool but if they could make outfits that don't look so fucking dorky that'd be great
>>545267852this helps this, 5/5 broad shoulders gives you an extra 10 weight
>>545268939Yes PVP is fun retardeven if you don't have anything
What is the advantage of the Ferro vs the Anvil? I genuinely don't see a reason to bring the Ferro outside of poverty runs.
>>545268939They're brown/russian, depending on your server
>>545270240Anvil is poverty too if you have the BP
>>545270240They're very similar damage wise so ya you're better off taking the anvil if you can afford it
>realizes the anvil splitter mod sucksi am not surprised
>>545267852Invest in the left branch of the red tree. More weight to carry is always useful and the final skill lets you loot security lockers which have crazy good loot in them.
>>545270373what is it, 4 bullets for 77% reduced dmg or something? sounds kinda shit
>>545270240Anvil has quite a bit of bullet drop compared to the Ferro. Other than that, anvil is superior in every way.
>>545268596>maybe there’s some sort of mmr. How do you think they would do that? What's the most fair way match people with? Time played? Total kills? Gear level?
>>545268596There isn't You can be matched up with anyone who has any gearI went with a free kit and saw a guy with a jupiter
>>545270320how is this poverty?
blue gate is so fucking stupid. some retard jumps me i kill himsome retard jumps me againi kill himsome retard finally gets meall in like 3 minutesi had killed like 7 hornets at that point
>>545270750I just said “maybe”. I’m more in the camp that this is what the community atmosphere/progression has gotten to. Frankly after someone acted nice for awhile then killed me I’ve said “fuck it” it’s pvp time
>>545264085kek
>>545270993That's just a problem with solo in generalThere's way too many players
>>545270984mechanical components are really easy to make
>>545270993Blue gate seems to spawn everyone near each other. I've barely been able to explore it because I'm fighting for my life within minutes of entering the map each time
>>545271208jfc i didn't realize you could make them in the refinery
killed a free guy and got a wolfpack great
>>545268939>I don't understand why in a PvP shooter people want to shoot at othersActually generational difference, holy fuck.
the ping advantage you third worlders have is insane
>do 5 raids in hospital on buried city looking for rusted medical kit>constant fighting over the loot in that place>can't find a single rusted kit in the entire building>go to dam map for a break>loot crate next to spawn in some water tower>rusted medical kitok
Launch tower loot time
>>545271319>jfc i didn't realize you could make them in the refineryDon't worry anon, we're all a little 'tarded sometimes
>>545271469I know why people want to fight others. I don't know why anyone would want to waste time and resources killing someone who can't or won't put up a fight back and who has nothing. If you derive enjoyment from that then stop pretending you like pvp because it's no better than fighting a bot.
>>545270984Mechanical Components can be crafted from basic resources that Scrappy can generate. Simple Gun Parts drop from common containers (do not have to be in a Security zone)
>>54527070620% increased damage actually but you're turning your pocket ferro into a shotgun.
>>545270240>>545270743This, Anvil has bullet drop, they even gave it more bullet drop since the public slam test. Its still solid close to mid range but if your fighting long range unless your amazing at aiming the anvil and considering the bullet drop the ferro will best it
>you can survive on the map past 0:00 if you press the elevator button>the entire time the elevator is available after 0:00 you're allowed to stay on overtime>even though the maps been 'wiped out' by the bomb This is the kind of immersion breaking that pisses me off
everytime i get killed by a kos faggot they always have the most retarded steam profile

>>545258591Thats a loss anon, Bettina is one of the worst guns in the game. A Stitcher is better then it. Bettina is the purple Rattler.
>>545272479Upgrade your rooster
>>545272271It's troons. The one time I camped a corner and killed a dude (who had killed someone inside the building he was exiting, I heard it happen) he fucking RAGED at me in a feminine voice. I was super confused because I thought it was a girl and was like, WOW I've never heard a female rage like this, girls don't even care about vidya. Then I checked his profile post-raid and it was a troon (he had been using the voice changer to make his voice higher kek) So yeah, the KOS try-hard rats are probably like 50% troons I reckon, which tracks
>>545272479for me it's the ARC cores, I simply don't kill ARC enough to keep my shields stocked
Remember a talk yesterday about how good the venator isI can tell you with confidence that it is infact busted as shitThe bettina is fucking horrible btw, no idea wtf they were thinking
I use fabric as healing item

>>545273248Its prob not a bad idea to make some mid range weapons bis. My opinion is this game is being sold as the gamer dad version of an extraction meaning id argue 50% of the current playerbase hell if not more won't get rank three work benches because they either wont know how to kill the rank 3 robots or have people to play with who know how to kill the rank 3 robots

they've gotta add a timer to free kits. every single lobby is just 10 retards sitting in bushes with stitchers tabbed out until they hear someone
>find fuel cell for launch tower>first one up>people start it>see cache open>search>smoke grenade gets tossed>guy shoots me to loot itwhat a fucking nigger
Trios doesn’t even make sense in this game. There’s not enough loot for a team of 3 unless you’re killing the queen
>>545275049all they need to do is make hairpin the only freeloader rat weapon in the game. it’s supposed to be a basic loadout to survive a cautious raid and the hairpin is sufficient for this purpose
>>545275071thats why you kill the other players anon....
>>545275049just use a medium shield and watch stitcher rats cry. you’re not running poverty shields in your non-free loadouts, right?
>>545274281>>545274762In xer defense it defaults to that voice for some reason and sometimes turns on by itself. First time I played with my friend he had it on unknowingly
>>545275071>There’s not enough lootThis game has such a loot surplus I was running around last night in a pack of 6 like a swarm of locusts and we still got all we were after.
>>545275478so trios is tdm by design?
>>545275071>There’s not enough loot for a teamSurely you must be jokingThere's stuff everywhere and player inventory is fucking tiny, I litterally cant bring everything I find every single raid
>>545275615No it doesn'tyour friend is a troon
>another player fighting arc next to an evac>ferro him in the head>rattler him several times>throw 2 nades at him>push him>rattler him some more as he's fat rolling on the ground>still not dead>i run around corner to reload>he 2 shots me as i turn to run aroundwhat the fuck

>>545274296>the "cutoff" for finishing the project/wipe is gonna be in late decemberfirst I'm hearing of this, what does that mean exactly? we lose all items/upgraded benches/etc.? starts 100% new?
>>545275896t. picks up every piece of scrap he can find
>>545276009yes>>545274045
Every time i try to use my water complex key theres like 4 noids there.
I don't understand the husk event, where do these extra husks spawn?
>>545275987out-fucking-skilled
>>545275946It does sometimes. I've also encountered other people who didn't know they had it on. My friend is no troon
>>545276009You can complete an optional project to "send your raider on expedition"Basically spend ressource to build a vehicle in 6 phasesIf you have the vehicle ready when the "window" come late december, you can wipe your account for permanent bonuses
>>545276221Is it a full wipe or just raider skill tree? Idk if I'd want to lose my cock or bench upgrades but maybe I'll feel differently in a month
>>545276221they're not permanent they only last for the next season
Guys I’ve had another ARC themed dream last night. What is happening to me?I can’t remember the last time a game had such an impact on me
>games been out four days>only 10% of the playerbase has made it to level10Thats uh.....weird considering the player count.
>>545276371is this true? that’s a fucking scam and I want ALL of my resources back right fucking now!t. caravan ready for departure
>>545276442You're moving through the game, it only happens when you experience peak... enjoy it
I NEED BLUEPRINTS HOLY FUCK
>>545276368Raider skill tree, stash loot and blueprint I thinkYou keep your bench upgrades>>545276543I get different stats on my screen
didn't know you could get more than one from a rocketeeralso>launch tower event>we manage to fend off bots without a sweat>open the loose weapons case to the side>there's a vulcano in it>open the second weapons cache>a ton of people want to loot>guy who went before me said give everyone a chance>realize he didn't touch the second vulcano in there>leave the second vulcanothankfully, I was the only one who noticed the rocketeer's debris zone.
>>545276615There are "permanent account unlocks" and "buffs that last just through the next expedition cycle"https://arcraiders.com/en/news/expedition-project/
everyone is KOS, it's over
Blue gate would be the comfiest zone if it wasn't full of the sweatiest fruit hoarding kos players in existence
I'll give someone a snaphook for a Silencer BP
>>545277261I have the same impression, I've experienced the most pressing pvp on that map - nowhere else
uh oh the death spiral has been initiated
>>545272061>I'm supposed to know what the fuck some retard I'm shooting at is wearingI'm killing you and I don't give a shit if you're naked or geared to the teeth.
>>545277409Hopefully they move on to the new map when it releases. By then people should have their cock upgrades and not need to flock to the olive grove as much
>>545277261>>545277409PVP feels like a time of day for me>start queing with randoms around 11am>get extracted and little pvp 90% of the time>once it gets around 5pm and beyond constant pvp and get extracted 10% of the timeThis is all maps
time to fuck rats up
>>545277941I killed a guy who had a vulcano IV with a stitcher earlier
>>545276543Is that console retards or something?Steam has 56.7% at level 10
>>545278046why would you run a vulcano IV with anythin less than a heavy shield
>>545277941time for you to get farod by a free loadout
>>545278137He downed my teammates, but I had a really good angle on him from above
>>545276932rocketeer drivers are like the easiest to get because they spawn in the husks in the electrified husk event
It's over
>>545278246oh well im solo only
>spot a guy in the woods>ask how he's doing>after a moment of silence he unloads on me with a rattler, not even taking off 1/3 of my shield>I run off to circle around, hear him aggro a hornet>tap him with my anvil as he's stunned>check his profile>.3 hours playedWell I hope he learned a lesson.
>>545278439Ya get better at aiming
they need to make rattler 3/4 cheaper. it's gotta be the poor mans lock in
How do I see the log of my previous runs? I saw someone checking his runs and how much money he made/lost
>>545278998raider>codex>player stats
>>545279132Is this bugged? I definitely knocked out many raiders and revived my friend a fair amount of times
Lock the freekits to 5 uses a day.
>>545279243Cry harder.
are these stats not properly tracking for anyone else
>>545279243Suck my stitcher, faggot
>>545277725>Steamchartposting in 2025
>>545279243Why are tarkov brownies so obsessed?
>>545279879they keep getting killed (they suck) to a nigga with a ferro
>>545279243dilate
>>545279879They hate games made for people with jobs
>>545279243I think if you wanna que singles on free kits all day long do it. Id make it so you cannot que into 4/5 or 5/5 difficulty maps with team randoms though with free kits esp night raids, 99% of the time the players who do this are completely fucking useless and run outta shields within the first five minutes.
>>545280041Get friends or queue solo, autiste
>freeload in>find a dude who brought his gear like an idiot>kill him and take it>extract>freeload inI won't ever stop
Every time you load with a free kit 1 random item from your stash should be deleted. You weren't using it anyway.
I like that if you survive and extract with a free augment you can trade it for a real augment and then sell it for 3x the price
>>545280147>talking about game balance>anon brings up no friends outta literally fucking nowhereNice project that you have no friends, Im talking about game balance you nigger, it makes zero fucking sense for players to be able to team que randoms with a single shield on 4/5 5/5 maps. Id even argue if people are so stuck up their ass with free kits fine then raise how many shields they get per difficulty of the map, give em an extra 1-2 shield to offset the balance, that or don't allow them to que it.
>spawn on husk graveyard with electrified arc thingy>random teammate retards insist on sprinting solo to the shitty yellow water zone instead of getting free rocketeer drivershappens back to back btw
This game is fucking up my schedule bad
>>545238902>anything rustedabsolutely do not listen to this retard. DO NOT SELL RUSTED ANYTHING
>finally found an osprey bptime to snipe
>>545280358anyone with a worthwhile loadout will destroy you and you'll waste time you could have spent on easily gathering some common materials that give you a better loadout, you only need metal and rubber or something to make stitchers and ferros and upgrade them.
Why can't my raider be a goth baddie? Why everyone gotta be ugly as fuck?
>looting the confiscating room>the weapon crate loot
anyone found a wolfpack bp yet? seems to be the ultimate essential, they are cheap as fuck to make and let you farm big arcs
>>545280778>you can trade it for a real augment and then sell it for 3x the pricewhat?
>>545281727Anvil is like the 3rd best weapon in the whole game anon

>>545281834>they are cheap as fuck to makeare they?
>>545281889HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>545280778Have you only been playing for an hour? The mk1 augments are barely worth shit so this is pointless.>>545281889trade a free augment to lance for any of the mk1 augments. They have more value being used, rather than selling t hem since you get more money from literally anything else

>>545283606i like this one
>>545283763i don't think my cock will care
How slow are bullets in this game? It feels like I can never get a shot off with the anvil
Burletta > Kettle > Stitcher > Ferro
>>545284278sounds like user error
IM SO FUCKING SICK OF EVERY BLUEPRINT BEING THE SAME BETTINA OSPREY TORRENTE VENATOR WHERE ARE THE ATTACHMENTS WOLFPACK RECIPE ?
>>545284564lucklets cope LMAOOO
>>545284278Depend on the gunAnvil and Kettle are pretty slowMeanwhile there's a legendary hitscan railgun
>>545284278I feel like there is a lot more delay going on, than you may perceive. I am used to way slower shooting (warthunder) but still, I have to lead the arc shitters by double the amount I would perceive as "correct".Also, got a blueprint for showstoppers, bretty expensive
>guy just casually walks into the room I've just opened >he wonders why I shoot himsome have gotten a little too comfortable with most people being friendlylike, I probably wouldn't have shot him if he just asked first instead of just strolling in like I opened this place for the public

>>545286067Trying to hit turbine on a wasp with a controller sounds like ass, pc for sure
>>545286067pc obviously
>>545286036They'll be on sale in like a month
>>545286134You sound like a faggot and your friends would be better off if you played solo instead of with them.
>>545286381my friends would be stumbling about trying to figure out what the ui does without me holding their leash
>>545286134Joyless nigga, I'm more than happy to do my friend's quest instead of mine
>>545286134I've got one friend who knows his shit but our third is the biggest liability I've ever seen.
>>545286134prime example of someone nobody needs as a friend
>>545284278Anvil is a close range to mid range gun, yes you can use it long range but its not meant for it, even more so because the bullet drop off from it was nerfed from the public slam test.
Whoever designed Blue Point probably should hang themselves. No one, not even their family would mourn their passing.
ATTENTION, PRO GAMER TIP INCOMING>get killed by someone>add them as a friend in the little map recap screen>back in lobby>you can join their party even if they havent accepted the request>they can hear you on voice chat while they are still in game and you are in the lobby since you are in a party>micspam and call them a faggot rat
>>545287125Tell me you were fucking around in the olive grove or ancient fortress without telling me you were fucking around in the olive grove or ancient fortress
>>545287395This is some try hard trolling shit but ill allow it
When do I leave the Ferro poverty zone
>>545287395holy based, i've just been calling them gay if they left their comments open
>>545287624when you learn to aim, and realize the kettle is the best of the poverty guns for pvp.Or when you go to buried city and take 2 stitchers
>>545287624When you get Anvil BP
>>545287727I like the kettle but I actually want to kill the arcs I aggro this decade
>>545286134Even worse when you have loot goblin friends. Green shields every run, never bring enough meds, don't take utility or nades, first to loot a body even if they get killed for it.I've almost gotten into a fist fight irl after the third time we got jumped because they were still looting 2 minutes after we won a fight while I was begging them to move the fuck on
>mulch a guy with my torrente>freekiterAt least have an industrial battery, fuck.
>>545287825sounds like you're the problem
do the anvil upgrades account for a lot or can i run it as a level 1 gun? i don't wanna use my precious gun parts...
>>545287991the upgrades are huge for fire rate
launch tower loot is the most fun event, besides harvester (haven't killed queen yet). Something about teaming up to take on hoards of bots
>>545287991Anon that's what gun parts are for
>>545287991An anvil 4 mulches hornets and wasps since it shoots much fasterFor PVP, doesn't really matter, you probably won't be corner peaking fast enough to need the increased fire rate
>>545287825>Green shields every run, never bring enough meds, don't take utility or nadesThe others are a big no because I'm a jumpy overly cautious motherfucker but these are so me
>>545287624Just run anvil IV and you'll never want to go back>>545287991at least run it as a level 2, when you run level 4 enough you feel the eternity it takes to fire with L1
>>545288298>Just run anvil IV and you'll never want to go backGive me an Anvil BP then
>>545288249I would really encourage bringing blue shields and some mini smoke grenades at a minimum. Makes you almost impossible to kill in an ambushArc circuitry drops in stacks of 3-4 from probes, and there are buildings that drop dozens of batteries. So Medium shields are pretty much free
>>545281834just looted one from a rat i killed at a night raid kek

I'm done for the day. Is this game a BR? Does everyone just want to play TDM?I am so sick of endless TDM waves from endless W key respawns using these guns that deal 50% of your HP at range through a shield. It's been 5 days and it's already so stale.This is not even starting on the broken city solos I did last night where I was twice just killed by some guy sitting in a window third person peeking waiting for someone to stroll by.
>>545288514Combat or Tactical aug? I'm just finally starting to use green loot aug lol, not having a prison pocket has fucked me over enough times
>>545288402you can buy 3 a day from the vendor, there is no way you are losing that many a day
>>545288515>everyone else is getting wolfpack bps>can only find anvil, silencer, and osprey bps that I already havesuffering from success......
goddamn i love the wolfpack. my favorite item in the entire game
>>545288691...oh I didn't know...
>>545288804gib anvil bp...also, wolfpack will be nerfed 100%
>>545288685For green augs, doesn't matter. They're pretty much identical.Blue, tactical mogs so hard its not even close. Free smoke grenade on shield break is hilariously overpowered
>>545287624I'm a kettle/ferrofag and I don't think I'm leaving until I get some gun BPs. I win every pvp engagement that doesn't end with the initial magdump up my asshole while I'm looting. Kettle kills every man, ferro is kino for killing every common arc.
>>545289001why? leapers and rocketeers are only supposed to be mid tier arcs
>>545288663>Why does everybody fight me after I instigate fights?
some rat i just killed
>>545288663It's kinda impressive how quckly the game went to shit. Like one of those social experiments gone wrong.
>trying to extract with a bunch of good shit I got>found a wolfpack>rocketeer comes charging in>all of a sudden like 8 more arc>decide now is the time to use the wolfpack>throw it at the rocketeer>it kills 4 other arc and only slightly damages the only one i wanted deadWell that sucks
>>545288663that's group queue, solo queue is far more chill
>stims>impact grenades>door stoppersFact: if you aren't running some or all of these items every raid, you're a noob
>>545289262>>545288663Group lobbies are always a bloodbath, solos are chiller
>>545289124is it uneffective against the other chonkers?
Where are earth can a guy reliably find "Advanced Mechanical Components"
>>545289389It's not as goodThere's a fuckton of broken anti-arc arsenal anyway, like the hullbreaker
>>545255713anvil 3 or don't upgrade at all
>>545207984now is your chance!
>>545289365So many of the items seem so fun, but feel like big wastes of weight and space when playing solo. I could see really kitted out trios with strategies doing some fun shit with all the items you can use, but as a solo I just never find the use for when I get a zipline or a door blocker or a lure grenade (usually never see a big arc after I find one) or whatever. I want to have fun doing silly things and making people mad.
make this the next OP image >>545282108
>>545289367Solo was super chill a couple of days ago, now it's just a bunch of silent creeps spawn rushing each other.
>>545282032just need explosive compound and sensors, i think you can make the former and the latter drop from snitches and are in most technological places
what are some good things to know for someone that never played extraction shooters, I played pubg years ago and was decent at it.
>>545289898kill rats on sight
the stitcher has no right being THIS accurate at range. literally ferro tier
>>545290632I'm new to the game, are these weapons really that strong even though they are grey?
is any of this bullshit needed for a secret quest later or can i sell it all
Got meself some olives (not enough) (shrooms will be amazing for later)
>>545290924they are, especially if you upgrade themgun balancing is just really good as mostly everything feels viable
>>545291026can sell. you will need them at the very last step of the expedition if you plan on killing your character in late december
>>545289205typical canadian
>>545290459I was told to watch these
>>545290924Sticher, Kettle(go into practice range and click fast to get a feel, it's much better than Rattler), and Ferro(Great for players AND especially Arc, upgrade it once or twice to reload faster) are all great. I still use them with a few mods over all the green guns except the Anvil(shotgun that replaces ferro outright) and the shotgun
I'm confused on what items to keep and what items to sell. Should I be keeping all the trinket items, or are they just for selling?
>suddenly everyone on the dam is a PvP'erah, the kids are home from school, time to shoot first and ask questions never i guess
>>545291113Eh, I think that's balanced in a bad way then. Why strive for better stuff when I can make a level 4 ferro and stitcher for every raid like 20 times over, and if I extract I can just keep it goin forever?
literally everybody i've called a nigger has turned out to be a niggerwhy is it so easy to tell?
>>545291296read the OP maybe?https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19IQX87jrhY-Sg41a2lm5lKrVJzwwc21gzF5i9SRnhM4/htmlview?gid=0&pru=AAABmnQ10tg*5eHYNKNmdov_ZkriZDXHgQ#gid=0is a good starting point
>>545291296Just for selling. No BS quests to bring back 3 coffee makers yet so you can get rid of them
>>545291369viable doesnt mean they are the best. these weapons are nice to kill rats but you wont take down big ol clankers with it. you want the hullcracker!but even in pvp, a guy with a vulcano will bootyblast you
>>545291296Here's a cheat sheet for what retarded items the benches and scrappy will want you to keep. For trinkets keep your cat beds and pillows>>545291339Dam and Buried City are always shitshows for me now while Spaceport and Blue Gate are mostly friendly.
can you craft gun parts to upgrade the anvil easily or nah?
>>545291369making level 4 greys is expensive you can't do that every run
>>545291296>>545291427also, click these buttons down here
>>545289156>Make any noise at all>Everyone runs at you>Can't avoid making noise with some bots around>Skill issueHere's my question: Why don't I go play [any other PVP game at all]? As time goes further, this game gets closer to a purely PVP With E experience. And it's a shitty PVP experience.The game has:>Guns which give you one of the highest first-shot advantage of anything in the genre>KOS player base who use the cheapest of these guns>Respawns of new squads until 15 minutes>Unavoidable noise>Third person peeking which encourages both sides to wait until the other investigates what shot at them>Incredibly slow healingI have watched a genuine 15 minute stare-off between two people no-showing behind walls, each unable to make the first move because of the punishment for making noise and the first-shot advantage.The game rewards you for bringing a loadout worth $7k and Wkeying everyone who brings anything more expensive than it. In two months I honestly think this shitty cycle is going to lead to a 95% player drop.
>>545291917no but you can buy them from the seeds lady
>>545289365Im stimpilled, sprint across the map in 3 min with an extra adrenaline to spare.
>>545292015>words words words I hope you had ChatGPT write that shitty troll for you, because if that's legitimately you typing all that, it's really fucking sad
>>545289791I had the opposite experience, yesterday was a bloodbath and today has been very chill
>>545289898Use the free kit loadouts to get a feel for the game.Silence is your best friend, be super quiet in loot zones.Pack some snacks, remember the patient gamer always wins. Once you get geared up, let the freekits kill each other.Bots are DEADLY in this game.Upgrade your chicken asap, itll allow you to get basic materials.If you run in naked, you have a free slot to store something in your ass if you die, thatll come back with you to the lobby.
>>545291781SO YOU'RE TELLING ME I STILL NEED TO PICK MORE APRICOTS FOR THIS STUPID CHICKEN?Is there an objective measure on how the upgrades improve this fuck?
>>545292015All correct, but this is new and exciting enough to play out for now until dropping in a month or three like all FotM.
>>545292470>upgrade your chicken asapthat shits broken. my chicken is lvl 5 and it doesnt even bring home more goods than before
someone make a new thread and dont use that tranny ai image (i made it btw)
I just saved the life of some poor guy>coming up on an extract>hear one guy down another in a building next to it>see him doing the knock out animation>shoot him and down him and finish him>bandage the other downed guy>call the elevator>we leave togetherthat was my good deed for the day
>>545292906>bandageyou mean defib or is there a talent that lets you use bandages instead?
>>545292015if only there was some kind of utility item that could flush people out of spots
>>545293017bandages give more crawl around timeas long as you're still crawling you can extract and keep your stuff
Looks like all the third world niggerkids are out, thanks europe for not taking care of your problems
>>545292015You have to be literally handless to lose a 1v1 to a freekit retard if you have medium shields and guns above level 1. You have more than enough time to turn around and stat check them. And if I see someone crying about corner peaking again I'm going to scream. there are nearly a DOZEN grenade options. For almost no mats at all, you can take 5x impact grenades and dick on corner peakers effortessly.
>>545292015>Guns which give you one of the highest first-shot advantage of anything in the genreliterally the opposite lmao. you instantly drop dead in 90% of this genre
>>545292862got one locked and loaded, whats vg post count before archiving?
what even is the point of combat mk1
>>545293386this is half why I hate this game, just started and how am I suppose to know if some dude is in god gear?
>go in with pink augment and wolfpacks>chinese guy stalks me around the map no... not yet...
>>545293520medium shields
>>545293531your wolfpack bp?
why is it 100% kos all of a sudden? i have to do ground-based arc damage... HOW? how the fuck do i start that without getting piled on to?
>>545293520its healing is absolutely worthless. 20 hp per minute. takes 30 seconds to activate.
>>545293531I got 2 fairplay messages and my stuff back in the first day.Gaming is over dude cheaters are gay as fuck and in everything immediately now.
>>545293521You don't, but in solo's you're much much less likely to get into a kill or be killed fight with a full kit. When people have something to lose, they're less likely to bumrush you. Hence why it's best to stand your ground if you do.
>>545293845niggers started picking up the game
>>545293845brown people are playing now
i feel like there should be more of a shield indicator in this game. someone who is in green shields should be giving off green sparks when i shoot them
>>545293017yeah this >>545293116you can "stabilize" crawling players by bandaging them, keeping their knocked out state health from going down
>>545293386>You have to be literally handless to lose a 1v1 to a freekit retardObjectively wrongFree kit arent weak at all, higher rarity gear is barely better than grey shit
>>545293907>>545294030the price tag was supposed to keep em out what the HECK
it's kinda annoying loading into a raid with the intent of calling a specific ARC and then it just doesn't spawn

>>545294115you may only get a 10round rattler or a ferro and get pushed, then you kind of insta-lose. also lack of nades.
>>545294270>also lack of nades.that's the fun part, free kits spawn with nades
>>545294115>>545293386all you 'need' is to be 3rd partied. i have been that 3rd party free-kit. THERE's NO SURVIVING MAN
>>545293386>blah blah blah skill issue blah blah blahThanks for the helpful tips, anon. I was wondering how this game is played.From now on, in every raid, I should bring:>5+ shield tax solutions>5-10 health tax solutions>5 impact nades which will flawlessly destroy anyone corner peeking, obviously, because that's how it works every time>5 smoke nades, which I will throw every 4 seconds while looting their body (takes 20 seconds), which will give me immunity to getting third partied by the 9 other KOS squads in the area>Combat Aug>Med Shield>Anvil as the Meta Weapon™>At least 40, preferably 80 ammoAnd also:>Never fight bots>Never make noise - don't breach containers, crouchwalk everywhere>Have 100% 360 degree visual awarenessAnd this is supposed to be a good PVP experience?
>>545295189>don't come prepared>get beaten by a stratif you walk into a room that only has one exit that's your problem paco
>>545293386Yeah this isn't true at all, unless you get a brick run and get a rattler(Genuinely just kill yourself and respawn), you can take people out even if they have heavies. The gear gap in this game is not that large.
>>545295382The Strat In Question:
>>545295620LITERAL skill issueyou know you can fake out their shots and it takes them forever to shoot again with a ferro1?you know you can roll when they're aiming and they'll usually miss?
>>545291112just basket farming?
>>545295189there's better smoke grenades.yes, you're supposed to bring heals.anvil is a good mid range weapon, don't get in cqc>blah blah skill issueyeah, i think it really is
>automatically pop smoke when shield is brokentactical mk2 augment is SSS tier
Has anyone actually found any keys in the wild? All the keys I have in my stash are quest rewards
