Burletta 1 or stitcher 2?
>>545866197tempest
>>545866197anvil
>>545866197Definitely burletta 1 for me. Really dislike the stitcher. But I'd rather just take a venator altogether.
>In one roundHey faggoot, run giant 100000m circle around the map for me, btw if a freekit sees you, you have to do it again lol
>>545866870Ah yes the dreaded free kit. The scariest strongest players you can face
>stuck on choosing a display nameI hate being autistic
>>545866870happened to me>on my way to my first objective, some rusfaggot sitting in a bush jumps me>I just keep on walking>hear him reload behind me while jogging after me>he finally downs me>I spawned in naked so he just wasted all that ammo for nothingfaggots
>>545866870Why not just kill the freekit
>>545867071It's never a waste to get a kill
so whats the point of the harvester after getting both blueprints, aside from the occasional women using her mic
>>545866870>dying to freekitcouldn't be me
post them raidersreally enjoying this look, it's very star wars
>>545867952kind of wish this was short-sleeved or sleeveless or something but it's decent as it is
freeclit
Maxing this out decreases breaching time from ~10s to ~7s btw
>200k CCU>not freeAlright, so what's the appeal?
>>545867952
>>545868287except it doesnt work for doors
>>545868537I killed a raider who looked just like you the other day
>>545868603I have not died in several days
>>545868556the unaware poster...
How do I tell my friends that I don't enjoy group raids because none of us has actually good aim and each time we engage we get shred?
>friends make me buy>I am pretty much the only one playing after 1 weekthis is not the first time this happened...
>kill someone"WHY DONT YOU GO PLAY CALL OF DUTY YOU FUCKING LOSER"my bad
>>545868891well, on one hand you only get better by continuing to practice, on the other hand you could just tell them you don't want to pvp
>stole a dudes osprey blueprint after gunning him down while he was putting in the code to leavethat's what you get for being a freekit shitter
I have a metric fuckton of materials, so I thought I could do the expedition. At the same time, I don't know if they perks you get are worth having your talents reset and losing all your blueprints.
>>545869572they are saying you will get some permanent cosmetics too. if it's an outfit I'll do it but I'm not doing it for a fucking backpack attachment or some facepaint or whatever
>>545867952I hate the helmet, otherwise it's a good outfit
>>545869670I'd do it for a good outfit, too. I don't understand why they haven't shown what cosmetics you get yet.
>take hullcracker to take down bigger arcs>every freegger in the lobby start hunting you
>>545867952wish I could keep glasses and mask, I wanted my hair out
>>545869797It's just a cloth version of the Planetside 2 TR helmet isn't it
>go to extract, some guy in elevator about to leave>starts shooting me>kill him>has venator 3 and renegade 3 plus a bunch of other goopthanks for the free loot dipshit
Man I need industrial batteries. I used to not loot them, since I had enough batteries for my shield, and now look at me, it's over...
>>545868891start learning how to combine utility use >Alright, throw your smoke>I'll throw my tag>There, shoot the mark
>>545869937Planetside 3 when? Vanu were so cool.
How do you know if someone is using a freekit or not? I want to kill them on sight because they are a blight
>today I will complete some quests>5 minutes later inventory full of shit
I've started just keeping 4 stacks of crafting mats each and selling all the recyclables I find.
plinking away at quests until i get this outfit, then i'll become the Sheriff of Overworld, handing out swift punishments to KOS'ers and extract campers
>>545870186There's no concrete way but the best indicator is if they don't have a spare weapon on their back. Almost everyone bringing an actual kit has a ferro on the side because it's dirt cheap
>>545868287should have been 10s to 5s, i wonder how much the skill that makes it quieter contribute, can hear people breaching from halfway across the map
Where the fuck do you find blueprintsIm overflowing with all the rarest stuff but I cant craft anything
>>545870709loot any red location on a night raid. lockers in places like the dam control tower are really good for it
>>545870709technically anywhere, but some stuff has higher drop chance, like weapon caseshttps://metaforge.app/arc-raiders/map/dam use interactive map, learn locations of different stuff
the space on the left should probably show your quests and tracked items, or is it occupied by squad related stuff?
>>545870962That's where whatever you're looting shows up.
>leaper only dropped one cellI feel scammed
>>545871097fortunately it's the easiest of the bigger arcs to kill
>>545870272based, I'm trying to minimize everything too.
What yall be buying in the shops?Right now I buy daily hatch key, renegade, hullcracker, combat mk2, heavy shield, surge recharger, and rare bandage
As a coomer what skin should I buy?
>>545871264there's no coomer skins so buy any that appeals to you i guess
>>545871183yeah but I'll have to load into another raid
>>545871261trying not to spend as much money rn but occasionally I buy barricades and zips.
>game features evil AI robots as the enemy>the devs who made the game also use gen AI to lessen human involvementMixed signals
Expedition seems so retarded>removes all your blueprints (most people with over 100 hours don't even have near 64 yet)>play against people who don't press it, ruining the entire point of a fresh wipe concept>all for some cosmetics and 5 more skill points, but it doesn't matter because most skills in the game suck (only ones that matter are security breach, the weapon reducing weight one, the 10kg of equip load, and the frontloaded mobility ones that give stamina)
>>545871548it's like poetry, it rhymes
ratmaxing
>>545871261I only buy things with seeds
>>545871548I like the theory(?) that the evil AI was sent by space humans so it's actually people that were evil all along.
>get killed by random KOS plainclothes in day time map>check steam profile>anime pfp and has thousands of hours in CS and every MOBAslop you can think ofThey really need to regionlock this game
>>545871025right
>>545871818it seems pretty obvious that that's what it is, the designs are too conventional for it to be aliens or whatever. And if the "story" is ever developed to the the point that that's actually revealed, you know that it's going to be something where the space humans didn't know the planet was still occupied tee hee and they just sent down murderbots to protect the surveyors and shiet from...climate change mutants? or whatever they were expecting.
we did it chat
>>545870290Doing gods work anon
>>545872040Are these rare or something? I keep seeing people freaking out about finding them.
There are weapons that use Energy Clips? Tien Wen sells one Energy Clip for 3knever seen that before
>>545872105They're just the meme item of the game, search lockers in a colored loot zone and you'll likely find one or two.
every single crafting item needs to have its stack size doubled in storage
>>545871548Are they canonically evil? my head cannon is these were some kind of construction robots that went AWOL and see humans as enemies now.
>>545872134There's only like two I think and they're legendary weapons that only drop from the Queen event
>>545872582I see
Is there a way to track specific items, instead of entire recipes?
>>545868603I just started the game and almost made a character that looks exactly like that
>>545873048no, that would make too much sense
>>545871264anyone in here play the Finals before? Are we gonna get skins that aren't the weird post apocalypse thing we have going on with all the skins or these devs stick to the theme pretty hard?
>>545873861They went all over the place for the finals, and had sexy characters with huge butts, so. Idk.
>>545871582I'll do it once if it upgrades your stash by a decent margin. I'm still constantly shuffling shit around/crafting/selling and it takes too much of my time.
>humans go topside>targeted by arc>a chicken goes up>not a scratch on him and brings back tremendous amounts of loot
>>545871582They need a blueprint trader. Trade 3 blueprints for one of your choice. Or 5, whatever, they can balance it however they want. Just SOMETHING to get the bp's you really like.
i dont know what the fuck happened but i went from facing dudes in OK kits kind of bumbling around to ultra sweats running full purple gear and weapons and getting ospreyed by 9 people at any given moment
>>545874558he's just that good
megumin walking in the dam floodgates
Just found a venator bp. How is it against ARC and players?
>>545875053very good against players, OK against Arc, takes out small arc relatively well
>>545874884when do we get anime cross over events
>>545875053You need to upgrade it to at least III/IV and have the grip & magazine upgrade for it to matter. At least magazine II because its +10
i have opened about 30 fucking cars on Blue Gate and still do not have a single rusted gear to show for iti am about to start fucking tweaking
>>545875618southern spaceport worked for me
>>545875618I find them all the fucking time on shelves and not actually in any sort of containers. Buried City shelves underneath the parking garages and shit, i find like 2-3 per match
>the rattler costs a fuckton of metal to craft AND wants a bunch of mechanical components to fully upgrade itYet another reason why the Shittler is the worst gun in the game
>collect a bunch of shit>head to extract>ARCs attack me>still bad at the game>get downed>another guy just reached the extract>he's about to activate it and sees me>goes "oh shit" over mic>crawl to extract while he shoots the drones>"Come on buddy we got this!">runs inside and extracts>"YAHOO, LETS GO BUDDY"sounded like I made that guys day
>>545875991Those are the moments that make up for the majority of matches where you either don't really run into anyone or get shot in the back by some dude. I run defibs in solos just so I can help out people who get shafted
>>545875796But anon, if you waste a shitload of mats that would be better spent towards other guns in order to upgrade it, you can get a whole extra 10 bullets in your mag, yippeeeeee!
>>545876270it was pretty cool
Question (because i cant find that info anywhere else)So, during night, there's more loot (rarity, not quantity, i assume).And there's locked rooms that require keys, with better loot.Is night multiplier affecting locked rooms too?In other words - day locked rooms and night locked rooms - will have same loot?Preferably if you'll give an answer - also clarify why you think so.
>>545870316customfag here, I never bring 2nd weapon cause I don't want to juggle shit
>sneak up on some shitter>stand there and just look at him>he turns around>looks at me for about 6 seconds>starts shootingfucking monkey genes
>>545874728they adjusted matchmaking to group KOS niggers together, my games have been nothing but peaceful >don't shootencounters again lately
Anyone know what the data downloads do in the new bunker event?
>>545876718he saw an autist and did the world a favor
>>545876718I had worse thing.>I was in a party of 2>My teammate meets someone, says "dont shoot">gets "dont shoot back">i come closer, but not close enough>teammate of other party does same, but starts shooting, singlehandedly killing my teammate>i died too, avenging.
>see someone get kos'd>headshot the dude with my osprey as he's looting>proceed to shoot him multiple more times as we play peekaboo and he keeps healing>another shot, push him with my secondary>light him up >he hides again>push again>light up even more>he proceeds to kill me with his arpeggiohow the fuck
>>545876883next time I will kos you, faggot
>>545876983probably surge chargers
>>545876826Game needs to introduce your own list of players that you can fill in, in case someone will betray you or attack despite you openly being non-aggressive. So that you know to fuck them up extra-hard next time.Like, some type of a indicator. Like a dot above their head, or something, to make it purely cosmetic.
oh come on.
Why are rocketeers just utterly insane? Bastions are easily avoidable, and are slow, bombadiers are almost bad, but they also suffer from slowness and NOT FLYING. Even the queen feels less dangerous. If a rocketeer sees you, they're extremely fast, can fire anywhere from 1-3 rockets, do your entire shield and half your life with a single rocket, and absolutely do not leave under any circumstances. Not even counting how absurdly loud they are, and their aggro range is huge. You can usually avoid them, hide indoors, sure, but no other huge arc is remotely that dangerous.
>freekit>squaded with geared to fuck high level dude>no one either has mics or is using theirs, I have one but no one is talking so shhhhhh>he runs me and another freekit dude around opening every security locker on Spaceport>gives me half a dozen BPs and some random shit>we get to extract>geared guy aggros a ton of ARC as the gates open for extract>me and other freekit guy hop in>other freekit guy immediately calls it in while geared guy is shooting stuff and is still outside>watch geared guy get absolutely railed by a rocketeer and half a dozen waspsI laughed, but I also felt pretty bad for the guy
>see someone coming right at me>"DONT SHOOT ME OH GOD DONT SHOOT DONT SHOOT">its a tumbleweed
I JUST WANT A RUSTY GEAR CMON
>>545877742I swear, they should add so that when you ping a thumbleweed your raider says something like>ON MY PING, RAIDER, oh nevermind, its just a thumbleweed
>>545877943just freekit and suicide until you get a good spawn if you can't be bothered to run for 3 minutes.
is there an optimal skill point chart or w/e
>>545878001that would be so fucking annoying and people would do it just to be exactly that
>>545878016i hate people like you
we hate free kits here
>>545878114Peak.
>>545876991>sneak up on someone>don't announce yourself>just stand there and starehe did the right thing, you're a massive red flag
>>545878313That's how you flirt, no??? Virgin.
>>545878118ive never done it and never would, but clearly running is too much for this dumb nigger
>>545877248not that bad, if its your sole priority just skirt along the edge. people move inwards
>>545878476Which is weird, because niggers love running.And stealing shit from those who are weaker than them.
People are giving me shit for using the preorder skin. Looks like you fags should learn to identify which games are gonna be good before you come out. Maybe you can bushcamp like me then
>>545879041before they come out*Sorry guys my dementia is acting up
>>545878313if I wanted to kill him I would have already done so without him turning around.Negative skill on picking up social cues from you and the guy
>>545879041pre-order fags are the cancer killing the game industry. COPE
>>545874170can't wait for some cheeked up skins since this is third person and you'll actually be able to see the skins unlike the Finals
>>545879434I cant hear you from my bush where I am perfectly camouflaged
>>545879617>walks around with level 3 shields>takes the first shot>teleports behind younothing personal, kid
I dont understand what they were trying to achieve with the stash system. I understand extract shooters double as inventory management simulators but I don't understand why the stack sizes in your stash are so fucking retarded and why you can't sort by more categories. the stash screen should be more than 1/4th the entire screen and you should be able to see more shit instead of scrolling like a fucking moron trying to find the shit you need because you can't sort by sub categories. the entire stash system seems like an afterthought.
>>545879381if you're just standing there completely silent I'm going to assume you're retarded
anybody got a good strat to 3 star the look for supply drops trial?
>>545879928I was waiting for an elevator just like he did
>>545879831>level 3 shields[laughs in toro]
KOS chads are always winning.Our numbers grow every day.Tranny rats keep seething about having no skill.
>>545877943dont go spaceport, it's too big.instead naked run blue gate and go to the center are with all the cars and breach those cars. gear can spawn there and you get more xp from breaching rather than running all day.
those fucking JEW devs are going to refrain from releasing lewd skins until the game is already dead. fuck those JEW assholes!
>some asian KOS mego back to your own server loser
so what's the consensus? are we KOSing or teaming? because I'm getting really tired of getting shot first after voicing and I think I'm just going to kill everyone I see
>>545880442the blatant psyop post this early huh
>>545879321ok, I've seen a handful of images with that stupid faggot looking scribbled-background-word-bubble with random word/words watermarkwhat the fuck is that shit and why the fuck do people keep using it?
i want a blueprint please god
>>545880653>get bored>prestige>lose all blueprintswelp...
>>545880653I didn't know the gun models change with upgrades that's neat
>>545880019night raid and look for the bright white lights on top of the supply tower thingies i guess
whats a good gun for killing ARCs at low level
>>545880973this is the worst trial so far actually cannot be assed doing this garbage content

>>545881296that's not the problem, there are only few on each map, just entire game spent running around on the spawn pointstarkov tier dogshit gameplay
>>545881145any free kit, and being in a team
>>545881439Took me like three tries. Skill issue
is it fun solo? I'm not inquiring anyone to play with me
>>545881659i'll rather spend my time killing you and taking your shit instead
>second time I try someone else's zipline up to the spaceport control tower>the second time its weirdly positioned>can't mantle at the end
there are so many larp fags in this game. it's unreal. now i just KOS them all. no more cringe bullshit.
where are the security breach lockers, I only know testing annex and underground room in blue gate
>>545881913one in each wall security tower in spaceporttwo in dam powerthose i can rememberthere's one here and there every where
>>545879381There's plenty playing this game with dial up reaction times who silently spend 10 seconds debating whether to kill you. Silence in this game makes you persona non grata. Do the pew pew pew emote behind his back or something.
>>545881878>I hate having fun: the faggot

Is it like in tarkov where you lose all your shit upon death? I should have tried it more when the test was up, I'm about to buy into pure hype..
GIVE ME BURNERS
>people are now teaming up in solos and going around pvping everyone else and camping at the extracts 4v1cringe
>>545883456Lord of the Flies type shit, I love it.
>>545883445Yes but if you run a regular loadout you'll get a pocket where you can store at least one thing that stays with you after death.
>>545883456Based as fuck
>>545883456BASED!!!What's your username? I'll add it to the KOS list.
Are there any green or gray items that cannot be recycled from a blue item? It's feeling like I should just be looting blues and above and then recycling down to the more base materials.

>>545885367Craft a key and use a hatch.
Holding off on purchasing this slop until Tarkov comes out. Gonna see what that release looks like and decide who gets my 40 goybucksWas very disappointed with the server slam
>>545885520>What was the purpose?violence in itself, it was probably a nigger and didn't even think of the consequences
>>545885701Anon relaxed and suffered the consequences...
is there some sort of Dead Silence perk or audio hack I’m unaware of? seems if I try to do any movement other than crouch waddle like I’m clenching my asscheeks in case I shid myself I have some kos sweat zoning in on my location without even breaching any shit
>>545885520To make sure you died and got nothing. Frankly this behaviour should be recorded. It would be an excellent indicator to filter out dangerous people from society.

>>545885686Cool dude thanks for letting us know that you can't afford 40 dollaroonies lmao. Hope your SNAP benefits come through this month

>>545885520I do that with an osprey/anvil on blue gate. I don't even loot people, I just want them to feel miserable. The best thing is hearing them scream "don't shoot" before I body them. I just wish we'd do more damage while people is down because a couple of my preys escaped by crawling into the fan.
>>545883341The actual discord user didn't post this. Looks like it's some guy spamming his name in various places so he gets mass added by random people.
>>545886035>this is different theme-wiseIt's different but it's not "good". The guns almost all look like ass and/or nonsensical. Raiders going up to the surface in fucking pyjama's instead of some combat armor doesn't make any sense, even if they have shields.The only cool stuff is the ARC themselves.
>>545885417in-round crafting is unironically a waste of 2 skillpoints
>>545886413>The guns almost all look like ass and/or nonsensical.that's the point though? They are cobbled from fucking duct tape and dreams.
>>545885498How can you tell you were the last two?
ATTENTION ALL STATIONS: theres a bug with mouse accel/smoothing. make sure to copy these settings under controller if youre on pc and using a mouse

Obligatory crossover with Terminator when?
>this game is basically just wall-e but human beings periodically coming up from underground
>>545886186That perks sucks ass dude. You need to walk. Not just run without sprinting, you need to actually toggle walk. So you're going slower but your stamina goes up slightly quicker.
>>545886703controller settings affect mouse?
Can I change my character's looksLike race and gender?You couldnt in the server slam
>>545886413>Raiders going up to the surface in fucking pyjama's instead of some combat armor doesn't make any senseWhy would you wear combat armor? Raiders are looters, not soldiers, furthermore, an arc is just gonna turn you to a fine red mist regardless of how many plates you have on your chest anyway.
>>545886812Embark would secure the rights to do a crossover, implement all the movie bots like the hunter killers swooping around, T-800 skeletons marching around pew pew pink purple lasersand all the sweaty PVP kos rat bastard cunts would ignore them just to sit in a corner or bush waiting to snipe other raiderspointless

This is a nice comfy Battle Royale, shame about the pve bots tho, any plans for them to remove them?
>>545885873I didn't even realize it was UE5 until I experienced a crash after 15 hours of playing and I got the error message. Expedition 33 managed to have UE5 run smoothly at launch as well.I think I'm with the other poster... has to be a lack of jeets
>>545887481the fuck?
>>545887240For the heavy bots, sure. But don't you think some sort of plating would help against wasps and hornets? They use light calibre weapons.
>>545885367If you actually care? Raider hatch. If you can't, then you learn to listen to beeping and throw an impact nade on the console before touching it.
>>545873092>>545868603>>545868537cosmetic options feel limited just like release day for the finalsim not complaining, but i had a similar instance of this where i had two friends independently make a male body black guy with the same face and the blond twin braids and the exact same fit, with the only difference being their backpackthe "post-apocalyptic failed 80s cyberpunk/nasapunk utopia" art design really limits the number of clean and well made outfits that don't look like repurposed tarps, EVA suits, and roller rink attire, and the small selection of heads and hair just makes it worse

>>545886413Raiders are supposed to be bright clothed so they can see each other. There's this really weird lore clash that doesn't make sense where everyone is meant to be part of one big team and they all go back to the same town at the end of the day despite murdering each other ruthlessly
I still don't understand why they went with entire outfits instead of letting us piece together helmet/body/pants/shoes. With some combinations you could make some decent looking raiders instead of... whatever the fuck this all is.
>>545887023yes i think so, but im still getting accel issues
>guy has the same quest as me>we both track it together (I discover the item, it's the one in the foremans office that leads you to Control Tower 7 or whatever)>we're friendly, notice he's got this decent assault rifle, not seen it before (doesn't look like a shitty rattler)>we get to control tower 7, I find the item, call him over to it>"Damn bro thanks">he goes to loot it after I looted it>stitcher him up mid animation>loot him>secure a tempest or whatever and a key (he didn't have it shoved up his ass for some reason)>extractThis game is too fun bros.
>>545885417Used to the weight is dogshit also this list is clearly based on just someone playing solo. Advanced crafting is also pretty good, especially after reset. The only perks that actually matter are the loot speed stuff, stamina shit, extra weight and security breach, rest are whatever. You also need to take shit that's marked as "scammed" because of how many points the capstones require.Verdict: Retarded theorycrafter.
3 days and I'm getting bored of the game. What do?
>>545888309how brown are you
What happens when you down somebody right as the extract closes? Do they lose everything?
>>545888309I get people without mics who KOS, but how fucked up do you have to be to literally do a quest with someone, i'm assuming chatting along the way and forming a raiderly bond, only to backstab em. That's like the gaming equivalent of torturing animals as a kid
>>545888558You can still extract while downed. You can also die as the door closes and extract with nothing
holy fuark, this game sometimes>load into harvester as a free kit>gonna try the puzzle>go through testing annex>hear some footsteps but don't know from where>webm related ensues>welp I guess I leave, thanks for the loot boysjust look at my help at the end there, it's like not even thereand I thought for sure I would just go down to that popstreamable because catbox is down and 4mb makes the quality shit https://streamable.com/nxrnzw
>>545888684>helphealth
>night raid in city >going for the extract >spot some other guys waiting for it>my and my team say hi>they begin blasting our asses >spam heavy fuse and gas nades as they get inside the cartfuck you retard now none of you get loot
I wonder if he knows how much I wanted to shoot him dead and loot his shit(I didn't)
>>545888684That roll out of the last guy's shotgun blast was great.
>>545889060I thought I was going to die there and was genuinely surprised that worked outHe even had a Volcano
>>545888980>posting his pussy cowardly behavior being disguised as "nice guy" vibes in a looter shooter video gameYou faggots are too cringe. Just admit that you deep down believe even with the drop on the player, you know you're so shit that you'd still probably lose and you lose the good shit you likely have hence you extracting in the first place. Unless that dude is some solo duo you've been working with for a while, there's literally no reason to NOT take free loot from a naive retard who's extracting infront of a player with their gun out
I only get ratted in dam
>>545889247Dam is a warzone because it's the starting zone and the matchmaking still puts fresh players in high level lobbiesHad fun the other day helping a newbie to use the control tower key
Why can't my raider look like this?
>>545889247I always hear people shit on Buried City for being rat territory but 90% of my friendly solo>duo encounters were there. Most people are just questin/farming money on free loadouts.The only shitters are usually rooftop snipers but they're easily avoided because everyones aim in this game sucks
>>545889186Were you aware at that point he had a shotty? With an automatic weapon, he would've likely still got you. The whole interaction is also a good case study of how you can lose a 3v1 by going one by one. If one of you goes down, even if they did damage to the solo, and you're spread out, it's almost always better to wait for your buddy and then go in together.
>>545889247nah Buried Shitty is just non-stop ass rape
>>545888684Very nice roll from shotgun, and nice prefire. But cringe, that you don't mic my manOn an unrelated note - found a hatch key in bumfuck nowhere, was a surprise for me.
>>545889554they are afraid of money
>>545889226>Rat has a meltdown when someone displays grace and humanitylmfao
>>545888645only browns can get into such a headstate
>>545888901based, kosfags deserve to suffer
>>545889732yeah it was pure luck>>545889791to be fair they didn't say anything in voice eitherthe first guy was just another freetard, I have no idea why the second guy even engaged
>>545889554>RabuGood taste
>>545889554because mine can't look like this
>>545889835It's facts though and deep down you know it's true. Post your raiders stats to prove me wrong, you won't. You're a rat who simply had good loot this time which forced the inner cowardly rat to come out and talk yourself out of taking a free kill (which it absolutely is to anyone who isn't playing with their feet) because you felt like you may still lose the 1v1 even with the jump.The fact that you had to take a screenshot of an otherwise normal situation that happens to 99% of players because you thought you were doing something "good" shows that you're a rat, but not only a rat, you're the worst kind of rat, a cowardly one. So go on, show us your stats buddy. Let's see these honorabru samurai
Killed a bastion and like 4 raiders on Dam
>>545888684that last dodge roll was nice
>>545888272it must be something wrong on your side, I changed those controller settings and it made no difference
>find a frenchfag at power complex in Dam>doesn't speak English>throw him a Cooling Fan>helps me take out Rocketeernice frog
Game has gotten boring I know some of you can feel it too
>>545890050Nah you did well. You did get quite lucky with the pop aggroing to him and the explosion not hitting you, but still, what got you that far wasn't luck, it was capitalizing on their mistakes.
>>545890835i'm still questing so no, all games become boring eventually though, once all i have left is pvp i might be in the same shoes
>>545890835nah I’m just getting a little tired of it being so sweaty, over half my last runs have devolved into PVP in less than 3 minutes of the run starting, if I wanted COD I’d have bought that instead
>>545890205>Post your raiders stats to prove me wrong, you won'tAm I supposed to feel bad about killing people who try to kill me?>You're a rat who simply had good loot this timeI had random junk from popping car hoods trying to find a Rusted Gear
when does the bunker event happen? I've only seen it during the morningis it really only once per day?
would a bounty system be healthy for the game in your opinion?
>>545890835>I know some of you can feel it tooWhy are you so insecure about getting bored? You probably got your money's worth. It's okay buddy. We'll keep having fun.
>>545890617I spent like 15 rounds trying to find the last cooling fan for the expedition I would've given everything I had
I find spamming a good HELLO RAIDER voiceline as you enter an area to be far better at disarming people than basically anything else. I just turned what was probably going to be a bloodbath at the dam control tower into four dudes awkwardly standing around together
>>545891226based friendmaker
>>545891153the game shouldn't outright punish you for killing people. the raider flare is punishment enough
>>545891226I always open with "hey whats up"
>>545891153could be interesting, depending on how it's implemented
lots of killers in my first run, flares constantly. what are things looking like?
Some guy shot at us and attracted a rocketeer. The rocketeer also started shooting at us and ignored him completely even though he had no cover at the time. Gay game for gay assholes.
I have 3 benches that each need 1 ingredient left before I can upgrade them
>can only consistently find cooling fans in THE most contentious red zones in the gamethis sucks man
>>545891847Still need 2 Sentinel cores...
So if I toss one of these in game, do they just exist in the map normally or do they eventually leave and disappear
>>545891472ups and downs, pvp is inevitable but there are some golden runs where magic happens.play how you want and leave first while you're ahead
>>545891964you spawn new enemies that will patrol the map
>>545892217so says the tooltip, I'm asking if they persist even until the end of the game
>>545891472I had a duo appear directly behind me while I was busy looting and they didn't murder me so pretty good
im just going to recycle all of my arpeggioszero redeeming qualities to this dogshit gun, yet the game insists on giving me my 8th bettina print instead of an anvil
>>545891964>throw a couple of these outside as I'm leaving with the elevator
>doing buried caches>find 2 anvils, can craft them anyway so no big deal>meet a guy calling extraction, tell him it's cool we can extract together>say "have some of this" and drop an anvil on the floor>he runs away>pick up the anvil and extract alone
>>545892384The BP loot tables have to be completely fucked. besides the bettina print growing on trees, I've found every blue weapon print before a single green. I'd love an anvil or toro one day
>join harvester match >look in general direction of queen>three flares go up immediately Oh boy
>semi AFK hiding in front of elevator>some guy is right in front of me but doesn't see me there>think he would shoot me for sure if he saw me>wreck him with my Toro>"you wouldn't get anything good out of me">knock him out with a "hayaaaa">take some of his stuff>2 people come in>pretend to be friendly>extractI'm not proud of myself, but I've been hurt too many times.
>>545891963Crazy that sentinels are so rare that you're better off checking every possible courier spawn
>>545892384its clearly supposed to be a mid-long range gun but there are like 3 guns all better at that
I hate bringing gear to take down bigger arcs because some faggot is always going to kill me right after. I waited until 5 minutes left to take down a rocketeer and was still murdered before I could make it to a hatch. He must have been chasing me
>moving lights in the skyboxI rarely look up. Were these always there?
>>545888430Put 2 remote grenades or a flame + shock mine on extraction buttons.
A harvester event in the middle of the buried city plaza would be hilarious
One...more....point
>>545893701>bored of the game? try sitting in a bush for 10 minutes to kill a free kit with 10 plastic scrap a stapler and assorted dildos
blue gate is beautiful but it plays awfullyit's even worse at night since there's like no buildings to hide in from ARC
>>545893950First of all, it's typically a full backpack. Second, it's not for the loot. It's for the rage and tears.
there are gigachads with much more impressive stashes, but i've built myself a nice little weapon stockpile for comfy solo budget runs without too much investmenthope i find wolfpack and mk3 looting survivor BP's soon. i assume those can't drop in weapon cases?
is the burletta not pretty close to the kettle?
what the hell is this and what do i do with iti looted it off some guy i murked, but i cant sell it or recycle it
>>545894417that's a quest item you just ruined some freekitters day. no value outside of giving it to lance later
>>545894417It's a quest item. You can't trash them for some reason, you actually have to take them with you on a mission and throw it on the ground.I have a spare Celeste's diary I'm keeping in my stash
>>545891176>express the opinion that the game has gotten boring>"REEEEEEEEEEEEE"Yeah clearly I'm the insecure one (you're seething btw). Methinks the lady doth protest too much
Best places to shoot pops, fireballs, and ticks?
is the battlepass in this game like every other battlepass where in theory you only need to buy it once?
what is your favorite pvp map and location, please tell me right now anon
Of course the game is getting boring. People have upgraded benches and maybe already their expedition shit too. There's nothing to really do unless you enjoy those weekly challenges.Well, that and go "pvp".
>>545893959I've just accepted that blue gate is where I take my kit to die in PVP when I need to clear space in my stash. Every fight turns into a complete clusterfuck in 30 seconds. Topside you get shot by every ferronigger and Rocketeer in 200 miles, and if you make any noise in the tunnels every squad nearby will descend on you like hyenas causing a gigantic tunnel rat fight that leaves 80% of the lobby dead
>>545891058>16 hours>9 quests done>17 players downedHow are your stats so fucking dogshit wtf? What are you even doing? I bet your cock is still level 2 aswell
>>545894497well, now i feel bad
>storm map>find Osprey>salvage it so nobody would get itI got one lying around in my stash but just like my Torrente and Venator, I'm never gonna use them because I'd probably die to some KoS shitter shooting me in the back.
>>545895039he shouldn't have been doing a bring home quest without a loot kit anyway he is retarded. you have taught him a lesson
>>545894859I'm not setting foot in Bluegate unless it's for a mission. I used to go rush for the Reinforced Reception gun vault and then getting the fuck out but that's quite possibly the single biggest spot for pvp clusterfuck in the game right now.
>>545894713The decks are permanent. They give some premium currency but likely not enough to buy another deck. The current deck is free and some future decks will be free as well. They are permanent like Helldivers warbonds and not fomo limited time stuff like other battlepasses.
>>545895125This is like watching someone hoard stitcher 4s as some kind of rare treasure.
>>545894818spaceport because there's basically no pvp
>>545895238A good idea in theory. In practice this battlepass and its cosmetics are complete ass.
>>545895125Salvaging shit is hilarious. I got trapped in the security room at water treatment and heard a trio getting closer so I stuck the only blueprint up my ass and salvaged every other thing in the room before they breached the door and killed me
I think Arc Raiders is a good template to copy and expand to a new genre. Maybe some base building/pokemon/trading.
>>545895435I'll hold onto my thoughts till we see the paid deck. At least I can farm the blue coins in the meantime to use on the new deck if I decide to get it
>>545895675>basebuildingkys
>>545895435That's a separate issue entirely.
>>545895435the ryder outfit with the full mask is one of the better outfits in the game at the moment
I got this quest where you need to go to 3 locked rooms in Dam, City and Spaceport but I don't feel like doing it. I think I got the keys but... meh. The quests feel pointless in this game.
>>545895409Spaceport is so bizarre. In theory it should be a sniper's paradise but I've never been shot at playing solo while out in the open.
>>545895762I'm waiting for them to put a cap on blue coins like Helldivers did with medals just to stop people from doing this
>>545895950There's this one elevator with practically no cover except a dead-end hallway. I get shot by ferro/osprey at least half the time there.
>>545895941You get useful blueprints from some of the quests.
What the hell is with the anvil's second attachment slot? Is whatever supposed to go in there even in the game?
>>545896378It's a gold item. Makes it shoot like a shotgun
>free kit into dam>rush any gun shots i hear>rush any extract call soundso much salt from people in voip when they die kek
There just needs to be more arc patrols and arc enemies in general on all maps not just night raids, whats the big fear of the occasional hornet or wasp or snitch, at the moment the most dangerous enemy is other players, hope the new enemy variants switch it up a bit and they up the bot spawns
>>545896491I've found 2 of them. It reduces damage by 70% or something nuts on each shot.It sounds dogshit (but never used it cuz I horde yellows/pinks like a noob)
>>545896568>freekit load in with a rattler>ESC>Main Menu > Surrender>rinse + repeat until I get a ferro/shitterstitcher
>>545894278I got a wolfpack bp out of a grenade box in the buried city hospital
>want to mic>cant find my one specific cable that allows me to do itFuck me
>>545895770>extraction shooterSee what I did there? It's all about the execution.
>>545895238is this game solo friendly.. i never played an extraction shooter before but like if i keep dying will it be annoying to gear up again
>>545897165Yes if you go solo you only go against other solos
>>545896965no mic = kos
while on blue gate, me and 6 other randos took down a queen, managed to scuttle some of the cores, feels good man
>>545897146yes, an extraction shooter that starts to incorporate cancerous shit like basebuilding is doomed to fail.The game is so popular because it simply is what it is. A fun casual extraction shooter with fun PVE enemies and enjoyable PVP. Doesn't need any other cancerous additions. Post your ID so I can mark you KOS. All the game needs is:>mix and match your clothing items between sets for pure cosmetics>more enemy types>more weaponsSimple as
>>545892335yes unless the map already has too much bots then they can fuck off over the horizon
>>545897473and more maps

>90% of my storage is taken up by crafting materials I may or may not needthis is a serious fucking problem
>>545897970It hasn't been for a while since people have released guides, my slow retarded friend.
fuck i fell from the double rank up tier which one of these do I focus on and how I need like uhh ~2k more
>>545898063a game shouldn't need guides
>>545898131This game doesn't need a guide, it just makes things easier, doubletard bro
>>545887473nta but I think he means the fact that when you're aiming your gun and strafing, it counts as a walk. Useful when you're chasing someone, being chased or fighting back against ARCs in the open
How does this game unironically have better stealth gameplay/AI than 99% of actual stealth games.I feel like it just feels so much more realistic/immersive. I actually can't get over how good this game ended up being. It's one of the only FOTM (what I initially thought) games i've tried out and felt like the hype was deserved. And I never gave a single fuck about extraction shooters before.
>>545898387>when you're aiming your gun and strafing, it counts as a walkNot for the purposes of the skill. It's been tested already. Unless you activate the walk keybind it does absolutely nothing.
>>545898693>good stealth>ArcName your favorite stealth games. Guaranteed you've got shit taste.>inb4 hurr durr le Thief games that I TOTALLY played btw!
>>545899000Thief
>>545891040i've come to the conclusion that pvpve games will always devolve into this because the pve isn't interesting enough and there's no significant punishment for losing a pvp engagementalways thought that a game with a deep progression tree and ample creative outlets like painting, in-game instruments, and other random assortments of fun things to do coupled with a very high risk to reward for pvp would be the perfect game that no one would play, because at that point, you're just emulating life in a really shitty way.the only "high risk" would have to be temp bans for losing. think r9k, where every time you lose an engagement that you initiated puts you in a progressive ban system that exponentially increases until it reaches the wipe period. think 1min -> 2min -> 4min -> 8min etcthe system has so many problems (what about duos not being able to play with their banned friends? what about mechanical skill rust during down time?) that i know it will never be implemented.i also realize pve isn't the main focus of the game and is meant to compliment the pvp, so embark should never do it. it's a bad idea for games that only autists think about (such as myself)tldr: any game where you can pvp will eventually become a race to mastery and become a trustless wasteland where everyone only pvps for rewards because the pve rewards suck, and the only way to incentivize pve is to make pvp punish the player by forcing them to not play, which both embark will never and should never do and will never be a feature in any game.
>>545898865wtf I was misinformed. That skill SUCKS. Whoever came up with that skill idea should be shot
>>545899000Thief was before my time. Tried it out recently but it's just too old for me personally. I'd say Chaos Theory was one of the first ones I played (bank mission is a core memory), Styx Master of Shadows and MGSV (even if I think MGSV sucked overall). Ground Zeroes was pure stealth kino. This game just has believeable stealth, I dunno how to explain it beyond how it "feels".
What does a flare mean?
>several drones flying around area, alerted>know there's another raider there>go over to see if he needs help>he immediately starts shooting me, alerting all the drones>knocks me, gets knocked by drone>call him a stupid motherfucker before i die
>>545898693i think arc spawns (besides the big ones that patrol areas) are based on many things including player presence, and they use machine learning to move
Are the augmented slots special somehow or do they just take away a general slot for a slot that can only hold certain items?
>>545899264The entire game feels like some Terminator Salvation shit.It's pure kino
This should just be common sense but most people don't seem to understand that if you spawn late in the raid, then you have a murderhobo lobby and you shouldn't trust anyone.
>>545886186It's only use case is if you can get away from a fight to begin with. No one is going to just let you slow walk to regen stam mid fight. If you are using it on long runs, then you're even stupider because you can just regen stamina while sliding or you can craft a billion adrenaline shots since they are cheap as shit and plastic parts get used for nothing else.
>>545899264The beat example of machine learning are leapers those fuckers will actually learn to juke you
>>545899552It's extra storage for specific item types. Pretty much worthless.
What the fuck is with the container storage on spaceport? Every single time I've gone there, without fail, there are like 5 KOS niggers all lighting each other and me up. It's like the designated pvp zone of the game. Is there some ridiculous loot there or something?
Is there anything stopping me from massing 30 snitch scanners then bringing them all into a match?
>>545899836It's classed as high loot but there's almost no loot containers there so I don't know what to tell you. I only know of the barricaded room up top and even that doesn't have great container spawns.
>>545899914no, lol
>>545899938I'll be honest, none of the maps other than dam really have any loot worth caring about. The loot density on dam is just so much higher
>>545899914Not really other than the hassle of farming them.There might be a cap on the amount of arc you're able to spawn. Go and find out.
>>545899256that guy was a stupid motherfucker
>>545900040Buried City is good for treasures if you just want to rat around in empty apartments all day. I've also heard that getting specific blueprints from specific loot zone types (like grenade blueprints pop up more in residential), but it's anecdotal and could be placebo.
>freegod stitcher>loot some materials>go to leave, activate elevator>wait a few seconds to see if anyone else wants to get onto elevator (read: they're going to try to kill me)>aggro a rocketeer>two niggers rush from the bush, immediately knock one with my stitcher>rocketeer knocks the other>loot them both, extract peacefullythanks for the gear, faggots
>mfw I7 4770k
>>545900278what
>>545900231woah, that loot is insane bro!
I wish the matchmaking was looser desu. I've never once run into a duo or trio while solo, only teamed up solos and loner solos. Yeah, it's unbalanced expecting a solo to go up against trios, but part of the fun of being a solo in games like these is breaking down trios and laughing the entire time. Dark and Darker nailed this during it's many betas, but then they added the solo map and then they also added solo matchmaking into the bigger maps. It's so boring.
>>545900278nigga. I had a 4790k in 2015, what are you doing
>>545900405i can hear you sniffling as you typewas it you that dropped the hatch key? better question, why the fuck are you extracting at an elevator when you have a hatch key? probably because you wanted to try to get a cheap kill. faggotthanks for the free upgraded guns btw
>>545900576>didn't play latest AAA slop for a very long time>no reason to upgradeand here I am
>>545900231this is what friggers call good loot
>>545898234you are delusional, there is no way to know you need specific items until the game tells you
is the deluxe version worth getting
>>545900231I agree KOS fags deserve eternal punishment but that's some scraps
>>545901008Yeah and once you need them, you know, therefore a guide isn't needed, mega ultra retardbro
>>545901103none of the cosmetics are worth paying for imo
>I went down the red skill tree firsttryhard>I went down the green tree firstchad>I went down the yellow tree firstretard
>>545901104Anon, that poster is the KOS fag. He KOS'd two people who were hoping to just jump into his extract.
now THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT BABY
>>545901103You're technically paying for the coins and you get two skins along with it. I don't personally like them but if you do then I say go for it
>>545899093ARC needs to lean in on the PvEvP aspect.New bots, maps and gear for a while. Even if its as minor as like, a fireball but it shoots Hornet tazers at you.
>>545897743what is scrap yard?
>>545901397That's even more embarrassing
>>545901578South end of dam. Don't forget to breach the square metal boxes too, they drop gears.
rate my hybrid build
>>545897743Good luck with those sentinel cores

>>545901828Based fun enjoyer.
>>545901319What do you think of this?
>>545901121I don't think you understand the problem at all, stop replying to me thanks
>>545902112it's like half a second faster with 5 points in
>>545902202It's 6% per point but thanks for playing.
>>545902290i just don't see the point personallyanyone will hear you regardless and the situation where you happen to breach something .5 seconds fast enough to not get shot in the back seems really unlikely
>>545902190You're retarded, that's the problem that needs to be addressed.
>>545898083do at night.first wave you can do 10k in dam swamp or outside blue gatehornets i would do on spaceport just go around killing themticks fireballs pops are best on buried city i think since u can go to the train stations which always spawn them.do at night = x2
>>545902508You're definitely a free kit exit camper.
Does anyone know if remote bombs or shock mines in an extract with open doors stay there once they close? I know corpses do
>faggots still arguing over guidesfuck already
>cute chinese grill>give her bri'ish voicebut why
dunno how people play this solo, might be the worst extraction shooter on the market for that
>freekit stitcher>go time>walk around>a guy walks by me>blast him>he does not die>i ran away to cover>kept fighting him>eventually flanked him and blasted him>he has purple augment, med shield, kettle 4 with 4 mods, renegade 2 with 3 mods>try out the renegade>it sucks>no wonder he lost to me>run to extractkitvirgin is food for stitcherchad
I'm never going into a game without a hatch key again. Being able to run to the outskirts of a map away from everyone else and still be able to extract is incredible
>>545869072i know someone like this. if i'm going to buy a game to play with them, it's going to be a game i had interest in playing in the first place.if they REALLY wanted me to play, they'll buy it for me
>>545899227a player got knocked above groundit sends one out when you get downed, but you'll only see it if it happened outdoors
>>545903145I've been having a great time
>>545902557ty, I was unsure about re-doing husks because it's my highest, but i guess that was done on dam day so it could use some improvements
>>545903145>solo only queue>9/10 solos are non-hostileWhenever I'm playing squads I'm wishing I were playing solo.
>>545903176>get reliant on hatch keys since they are so cheap>forget literally every time that night raids have no hatches>always end up bringing a worthless key with me
>>545869072>>545903225just wait a week, I find that most of the time that's enough for their honeymoon period to wear off
>>545903176>be around control tower on dam>stay in cover until ~10:00>reach deep into my anus and retrieve key to control room and loot everything>escape through nearby hatch as clock runs outWorks every time
>>545903145Solos are the best: you have the perfect balance between people wanting your shit and people just minding their own business. You don't have any of that in groups
security breach needs a complete reworkthe entire skill tree needs a rework for that matterwhy the fuck is the ability to craft shield rechargers, more carry weight, AND the ability to open guaranteed high tier lockers all on the survival tree? who the fuck thought these through? why the fuck isn't more carry weight in the conditioning tree?
keep fov on 70 or bump it up
>>545869072>vg thread>99% of the people play solo and no one ever asks for groups or hosts groupsMany such cases
>>545898083>>545902557Different Anon, but the Pop, Fireball etc. trial is really gay because you usually only get 1 decent spot and the rest are cleared out by others. Even at night, you need more than 1 spot to get to 4k, so this is just tedious.
>>545903769something like +1 max shield tier in conditioning would be busted, letting you medium shield on cheapo mk2 lootings
>>545903881Just run around outside for like 3 minutes and all the arc inside will respawn
>>545904013>respawnhuh???
>>545903843>/vg/ thread>I ask "anyone EU wanna team up?">no replies
>>545903881They respawn all the time specially at train stations
>>545903769They can easily throw out 90% of the perks in this tree and nobody would give a shit.Oh no not my 10% faster stamina recovery while I'm crouch walking! Not my extra stamina regeneration when using a healing item!
Every raid i've been in is full of no mic KOS niggers or I get spawn killed. This game isn't interesting anymore
>>545903881just go around different buildings in buried city, if you spend 30 mins in a raid its easy to get to 4k
Own a ferro for defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Three ruffians break into my testing annex locked room. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Speranza rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my Anvil on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the sentinel mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel alert every wasp and hornet within 500 meters. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the arc to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
>>545903769They rearranged the skill tree in the last couple months and probably didn't test it enough. Field crafting used to be available by default too.
>>545904013>>545904126What the actual fuck? All I ever see is their smoking husks.
>>545904090The game is constantly respawning enemies whenever there's no one around to keep it alive for people who join mid match
>>545903769The problem isn't that survival is good but that other trees aren't as good.
>doing annoying quest>find a guy doing the same one in the last part>find the last objective and show him>he says thanks and shoots me i'm never helping any of these faggot normie players again and i'm gonna kos from now on thanks, have fun dealing with another 10k hour fps NEET (me) you niggers.
>>545904159Where do I go to find out the numbers?
>remove a limb off a leaper>tries its hardest to move aroundsorry...
>>545904916I don't know, it was just a guess based on experience. I'm sure some autistic youtuber or redditor did the comparison.
>>545905001The first time I broke the back weakpoint on a bastion I thought It was completely fucked and walked in front of it to taunt it for fun. Fucker got back up in a few seconds
awwww yisssssss
>>545905272lol I found this thing in a random ass container in the middle of nowhere
just reached a million credits. The fuck am I supposed to do with them?
>>545905136Bastion are fun to fight. Grenadiers are complete aids tho
>partner up with some guy haflway through a match because he was uwu fwenwy and i rolled in as a freegod stitcher >we loot to our heart's content and blast a couple of niggers in the process, i upgrade my guns to anvil 4 and renegade 3>go to elevator to extract, knock the guy down and he starts going WHAT THE FUCK MAN and I say "it's all good, not going to kill you. just dont want you to turn on me.">he says "oh okay thats fair, i wasn't gonna but i get it">stop the extraction call right before it completes, walk over and kill him. he starts screaming "WHYYYYYY" before the animation finishesdidnt even loot him, i just wanted to see a faggot suffer
>>545905468why? just duck in and out of a house and throw 3-4 blaze grenades and it's dead
>>545905395I think you get bonuses for how much money you have before an expedition reset? Or was it the inventory value or maybe both
>>545905696I don't have blaze nades!! Where's that fucking blueprint aaaaaaaa
>>545904662Pretty sure only the outdoor ones respawn
>>545905913Go farm some burner bots and throw their part instead. It also causes fire.
>>545901423I have not seen a single person use this in a raid once, kinda weird
>>545905958I can confirm the ones indoor ones respawn because I've had fireballs spawn on my ass out of things air
>a million ways to deal with grounded enemies, including hiding in buildings and doing the peak n shoot strategy>literally the only way to deal with a rocketeer is to peak n shootThey made this thing so retardedly strong. Grounded enemies? Throw a lure, throw a couple fire nades, it's dead. Rocketeer? Nades going to miss as it swerves and jukes at mach speed, if it stays still long enough for your grenade to hit it also means you're about to eat 1-3 rockets in the face. Wolfpack doesn't one shot it, so you need 2-3 of the most rare grenade in the game. Showstopper and getting on top of it and it will just fly 500 yards in the sky and then turn 90 degrees to send you falling to your death.Remove some of this bitch's armor or health ffs.
>>545905958They do. In the dam buildings where there's big pipes (water treatment I think) and a lot of those bots, I went through those twice about 10 minutes apart and there were new bots.
ONE MORE
>throw wolfpack at survey drone because fuck you >teammate immediately start sprinting towards itI got the vault before he did but fuck off dude
>>545901849kek yeah that's justifiedand the guy was a jerk too
its... its over.
how does the hidden bunker work
>>545907479no one knows yet
>>545906451i killed a rocketeer with a random buddy on buried ground by using the window roof bunker. it was a lot of work.
>wanna do a quest in Blue Gate>find a dead raider>loot a drum mag Venator from him>book it home>throw it in my stash because I'm too afraid to lose itWhy am I like this?
>>545907672wait right now is the first time it appeared?
>get sniped while fighting arc in solo>look at profile>its a troon with a little anime girl avatar>most played game: nier - automata>mfwIf it was anyone else I wouldn't care, but the fact that I was ganked by a tranny pedophile anime lover hurts my soul.
>>545880113solo KOS niggers suck at the game and don't kovaaks regularly. Have fun getting beamed by my stitcher after you miss your anvil followup.
if you wear any form of mask or helmet you are a KOSnigger and will be KoS'd
Just killed someone from 150m with two ferro headshots as they were sprinting. I feel fucking dirty but god DAMN were those good fucking shots
>>545907927Kettle slander
>load up spaceport THREE times >can't find a single mushroom at the designated mushroom treewtf
>>545907769is it happening right this moment?and no it's been going for a few days, I think it only runs like twice a daythere's a bunch of antennas on the map you activate and then you head into the bunker where you have to activate some shit but no one's figured out what you're supposed to do in the bunker
>sir, another peak playercount has hit the charts
>>545907927why is anvil on that list? it's a blueprint weapon you need an upgraded bench to even craft
>>545907714I had a fear of loosing shit tol after several catastrophic runs.Then I applied one advice provided by an /arg/ anon :If it's setting there getting dust, better sell it or use it.Now I use everything from my stash without any fear.I still loose a lot, but it's less stressfull
>>545891375Not really.
>>545908303>it's realjesusat this rate it's going to hit 500k
>enter building>some dude blasts me in two hits with an anvil 4>oh fuck>but wait, i have a bobcat 2>destroy him in seconds>his loot is pretty much loot from his previous victimsthanks for the anvil, nerd
>>545908460They say 600k just crashed in a field west of the Pentagon
>>545908402>sitting*Fuck I'm Arc-retarded
thats the "unupgraded" listthe "fully upgraded" list is even more confusing
>see a rocketeer down a dude from about 100m away>go to loot him>lose sight of the area since it's on high ground and i'm running through a little ravine>get to where the flare was>2 rocketeers just hovering like 5 feet off the ground>both immediately shoot meG-greatLike 8 minutes had passed too, why did it not go patrol somewhere else and why did it clone itself?
>>545908745Someone else was probably trying to do the same thing
>>545908745mithocondria is the powerhouse of the cell anon!
>>545908621I like rattler 4 better than the arpeggio. If I ever have to reload it I'm either already using my sidearm or dead. I like being able to magdump it and actually keep pace with other close range guns where if you get caught close with the arpeggio you're probably just dead.
>>545906590there can be like 3+ vaults on one
so if an anvil rat ambushes you it's pretty much lights out if you have a light shield, how well does a medium shield hold up?
>celeste will only sell you 3 of a type of gun parts per dayThe game is basically asking that I hoard rare guns guns and only use kettles and ferros
>>545904159Retard.
:D
>>545909120You survive one more shot
>>545909274Nice loot friend, now you just have to kill a queen!
>>545908383You can buy three a day though.
>>545909120As long as you have any shield, you get the damage reduction to the entire hit. Light shield gets 100% destroyed on the first hit of a ferro or anvil. Medium shield is still up.That's the only reason medium shield is any good.
>>545909458Maybe, we'll see. I have like 10 wolfpacks but I want to learn how she works first.
>>545902202Its 3 seconds faster. 0 skill takes 10 seconds.5 points in it is 7 seconds.
>>545909274Solo?
>>545909117I know and I made sure to check the parts he would be most likely to open first. Anyway I only needed one but fuck that guy
>>545910173Solo'd a harvester yes. First time too and almost died at the extract because of some rat bastard.
>>545885417I am going all in on mobility i dont give a fuck.
>>545909274nice! i got mine earlier today too. teamed up with a guy on spaceport, we were ready to go to the extraction and he told me he was excited because he got the equalizer blueprint. earlier he told me he had a free loadout, so i was pretty sure he didn't have a safe pocket. anyway i killed him with my anvil to check if he was telling the truth, looted him, and sure enough he was. we were travelling together for probably 15 or so minutes before that happened. i hope he gets that blueprint again on another one of his runs
>>545907451do you have a mag accelerator?recycle it, you won't need one for a long while and you trip over them in tech areas
Should I use an electrocloak to be sure to loot sentinel cores in night raids? Do they respawn? Or is there another source for them?
>>545902485retard
>>545910337Any tips? Never done it before myself but it's about time
Finally, the courier blessed me with the sentinel core. >>545910341I like my 15 points in mobility, I zoom around like a rat should
brick pilled
is it just me or is testing annex a PVP zone? I swear every time I go there it ends in a firefight
>>545908745were the rocketeers giggling that you fell for their decoy flare?
>>545910421You can get them from downed ARC couriers.
>>545910943it is definitely a pvp hotspot
>>545901828
>got jumped by a rattler free kit who stood in the open shooting and reloading until he diedDid Embark add raider bots?
>>545910943Testing Annex is too easy for extract camping. I assume anybody inside the building or going towards it is a KOS extract camping faggot so I kill them immediately. I dont even bother extracting there anymore because you can guarantee there is always somebody in the building waiting to kill you.
realistically how can extract camping be fixed?
>>545911067nah that was just tyresius III
>>545901828im about to start this game, what should i know about the skill tree
>>545911292look it up lazy fag
>>545911202Increase the radius that ARC can hear noises, so when the elevator is called there are always ARC on it.Sadly they will probably just disable the ability to plant anything near the extract like they did with ziplines.
>>545910421Buried City at night, go straight to town hall.Electrocloak is unnecessary, just bring a gun that shoots heavy ammo (anvil works great here), and peek-shoot the turrets till they blow up. Keep your head on a swivel, the noise will attract roving Wasps. Since its night, the nearest exits will be blocked, so follow the magenta arrow into a metro entrance under the parking garage.If you have your wits about you, it should only take about 6 minutes.
>423k peakHOW DOES IT KEEP GROWING A WEEK AFTER RELEASE
>>545911202Increase the amount of ARC enemies so it keeps everyone on the edge. Hope the two new ARCs we are getting in the next couple of weeks are annoying as hell
>>545910652based
>>545911450almost 450k nowmaybe we can hit 500k today
>>545911372fuck you nigger bitch. can you also say slurs in this game or will the ai ban me.
>>545910462Bring a lot of healing items and enough ammo. I almost ran out of ammo when killing the yellow things and I was running low on bandages as well. That's mostly because it was my first time and I took a lot of unneccesary damage.You can slip back in as soon as the fire stops but it's tricky to time. Best to run in a bit earlier and take a bit of damage than to stay outside and having to breach it open again.The loot in the breached containers is not worth it. I opened it all but it was mostly energy ammo and blue ARC parts. Focus on finding the 3 canisters and nothing else.
>>545908621bettina is f even fully upgraded but leviticus is a retard so it doesn't really matter either way
security room on blue gate is just rape central holy shit
>>545910943Testing annex has an elevator next to it. There's a lot of rat bastards there. The building gives a great vantage point for sniping or grenading people who want to leave.
>Go to Testing Annex extract after finding 1 (UNO) rusted gear>See guy getting attacked by 2 arc and try to take out one Arc and leave the rest up to him>He's downed>Decide I'll take his stuff if he gives up>See him crawling towards extract and go to bandage him instead>Fucker hiding up top of the building with a Ferro me and finishes the downed guy off>Idiot attracts a Rocketeer and its aggo on him>Shoot him with my Ferro and toss grenades in his direction to keep the heat on him>Flare goes up>Wait out the Rocketeer and knock him out>"P-please I have nothi--">Motherfucker had a Magnetic Accelerator on him>Other guy had a photo electric cloak and a wolfpack>Someone else pulls up and I let him loot them before we leaveNo clue why the first guy didn't use the cloak. Fuck campers. I'm bringing defibs and snitch scanners from now on.
>maxed out 280 stash tooTired of this shit
>>545911814If you have security breach capstone, just wait until 10 minutes are left and then go loot those 2 security lockers. They are almost NEVER opened.
Turned off crossplay. Queues are longer. Haven't really run into players yet to decide if it's better than playing with console shitters.
>>545912069idk dude, everyone I get into game with seems to have this skill already, if you are not there at 2nd minute of the game everything is gone
>play with friend>he sees another team>they arent coming near us>he shoots anyways>they are a trio and we got fucked as usual because we down 2 and the third just gives them a resource advantage we cant beat>he gets mad>next round>we agree we need to loot a tech loot zone>he hears gunshots>immediately veers off course and straight at the gunshots>shoots at people>ignores the horde of snitches and rocketeers he is pulling>starts raging about how busted the ARC are and how they had no way of seeing him>after finally losing the aggro of the rocketeer he immediately runs back to where the players were last seen>obviously they are long gone>we go to extract after looting some bodies we found around there anyways>at extract>see another team fighting ARC>I say lets just see if the are friendly and extract together>>nah we are in it for blood>he shoots them in the back and knocks them out as they try crawling into the air shaftI think I will just play solo from now on. I like playing stealthy and this is too much.
>>545911915This game is just a glorified inventory manager at this rate.
>>545912226Hmm a lot of sweats in your server region I suppose. Still, there are other spots that don't need a key and have lockers; Just check the online map.
>>545912379Immediately closed the game when I first saw the inventory
>>545912379>>545911915stop hoarding
>objective: kill an ARCits over for me
>>545912507The game encourages hoarding given its arbitrary as upgrade requirements for workshops and weapon crafting.
>>545912379I'd do the expeditions if I knew at least what the cosmetics are. I already get dunked on by back shooters. Not like having better stats would help me.
>>545912507>oops you sold that random item with no description that is now required for a quest hehe :)
>>545911915280 is plenty if they let us stack more stuff, because that's what's bloating my stash. I got 2 rows of wolfpacks right now and that's just 8 grenades...
>>545910359>anyway i killed him with my anvil
>>545912507>stop hoarding>when the game throws silly upgrade requirements at you like 5 humidifiers or 8 snitch scanners
who goes into the bunker event only to kill people, actual faggots
>>545876372Nate, fine. But fucking Nuck, and Nill? You ruined your own joke at that point, lmao.
>>545913016That means they aren't on my favorite maps
The most valuable objects in the game are. Bastion or rocketeer parts? No. The queen reactor? Lol.It's rusted gears and industrial batteries because FUCK you.
>>545908402I just don't want some back shooter to get my blues.
>>545907927>kettle Dlol
Any tips for a newfag? Specifically a newfag trying to only kill people in self defense?
>>545910359
What's the level cap? Do you get enough skill points to max out the entire tree?
>>545913392Why ask questions on 4chan that are truly easier to fucking google?
Hey bros I tried to post this to r*ddit because I'm fucking tired of picking at it but I got autofiltered and discord is too fucking retarded to engage with. Shame on me for thinking otherwise I guess but I found some shit out about the terminals in the bunker.The bunker terminal plays a 4FSK modulated transmission containing a CCSDS Space Packet. You can find the dump of the packet here: https://pastebin.com/kCgXHL5KI'm fucking sick of staring at space packet documentation so I hope someone else runs with this, I've only recorded audio from one single terminal, maybe the others have a clue. If you cross-reference the packet with CCSDS documentation you can find out it's definitely a satellite in orbit sending temperature probe data somewhere, but I couldn't find any satellite that operates at 19 baud over 4FSK. Have a good one retards.
>>545913245People are a lot less likely to shoot a passerby if they announce themselves. Either on voice chat or emote quickly with G + up for 'don't shoot'. I almost never get attacked that way when crossing paths with someone in bumfuck nowhere, but stay wary until they're out of view regardless. This also goes for extract points. Don't just sit in the bushes while another guy called the elevator and then rush in there hoping for the best. If you don't announce yourself he'll be a lot more likely to shoot.
>>545913595ask Claude aiunironically
>5 skill points to reduce roll stamina cost>needs 3 skill points so you can actually get an extra roll>5 skill points is not enough to get a second extra troll. Brilliant. Please clap.Game design.
I got some stuff back because of a cheater in my game. I fucking knew yesterday something was up with that one guy, nailing me through the bushes in the swamp.Get fucked, cheater.
>>545910359>i killed him with my anvilBasedmaybe he'll lean to keep his trap shut about his loot next time
>kosfag>edgy anime pfpevery time
>>545913245any nigger wearing a skimask is kill on sight
>>545913905Hope you enjoy being bricked.I swear 90% of people are going to prestige their first time just because they didnt realize how dog ass these skills are. And day 1 there is going to be a billion videos on youtube about the most optimal meta build with stats for each skill.
>>545913245You're going to suffer if your mentality is to only shoot on self defense. Trust me, I was like you. The nature of this game is that you are at an extreme disadvantage if someone gets the drop on you. Can you still win the fight? Sure, but don't bet on it. If your gut tells you a guy is not trustworthy, believe it and either shoot first or disengage.
>>545913823Problem is there's just nothing I or Claude can do with it until I know more about the satellite that sent it. It might not even be a real satellite, fuck if I know.If the other terminals have different transmissions that might be huge but I just can't be assed to get 8 dudes together for a run.
>>545914158>90% of people are going to prestige their first time just because they didnt realize how dog ass these skills are.Well yes, but that's entirely on thed devs for not putting details in the description.
>>545914060A lot of the KOS fags I've encountered have dragonball names
>>545913782>People are a lot less likely to shoot a passerby if they announce themselves.Funnily enough. My first PvP experience was a bit different. I came up behind a dude, and announced myself with the "don't shoot" emote. He switched to his weapon and started shooting, I went around the corner for cover, came back out as he was reloading and hosed him down.Weird interaction. If someone caught me with my pants down like that, and said "friendly don't worry", the last thing I would do is to try 'n kill that guy. But every other interaction so far has been friendly and nice. >>545914294Well, I'm gonna keep hoping for the best. Honestly if it turns into "kill everything on sight, always", I might as well just re-install siege and skip the looting phase, ya know?
>>545914476>you regen stamina as if standing still "while walking">wow a skill that lets me regen stamina "while jogging" what a must pick!Even if they gave skill values in exhaustive detail players would still brick themselves.
watching streamers win fights with light shields when I struggle with medium is pretty enlightening. I learned that it's my positioning that sucks major balls
>>545913245People who do not speak are a lot more likely to shoot you. Do not give anyone the benefit of the doubt and assume they are working up the nerve to kill you. Solos can be pretty chill, but keep your guard up always, especially when you hit up popular points of interest (Big Arcs, extracts, locked areas). I don't get into fights often, very rarely really, but most people die because they let their guard down. Just read this thread for example. The most important part is body language and communication, the rest is just skill and learning the game.
>>545913245before going to an extract I like to find some high ground nearby to scout it first, see what's going on and potentially spot campers
>>545913245Dam is currently a warzone. Always assume the worst from players specially if they don't use mic
>>545910652>67 pointsThank God I was afraid the level cap might've been 50 and that I wouldn't get the security breach talent
>>545914964>>545915205>>545915267Thanks anons. I will keep these in mind. Btw, am I misunderstanding the "raider voice beta" thing? Is that a build in voice changer, or just your chosen emote voice? If it's a voice changer thing, I wish it gave you a preview of what it sounds like when you actually use it, instead of a generic preview, because so far every voice changer I have ever heard on the internet sounds like ass.
>>545914903the difference between M and L shield is like, 2 bullets. Ideally you go for headshots.
>>545912574>do a trio>them killing the ARCs countsWE ARE SO BACK
>have a ton of keys>decide to go to the Town Hall on buried city even if it's not night>Tempest II>Vulcano I>Torrente II>2x Vita Spray>photoelectric cloakDamn... and I have like 5 more keys
what a fucking shitshow>did the most dmg, only one who didnt get to extractboooalso I think you need to tower key or a zipline to do the last antennae on buried bunker
>>545914065hard to tell what they are wearing when I get shot from god knows where on spaceport
I’m convinced Dam is the chillest map. It’s THE quest map and people often just want to complete their quests. All other maps are hell.
>>545916473Quite the opposite for me
>ok let's kill hornets for the trial on night raid Dam>take some decent gear in>die to the second hornet and a passing bastion because I'm an idiot who can't manage his positionSometimes I play like a complete fucking retard who's never touched this game before. Time to take a break.
Fucking tick followed me for like 150m and then attached to my face JUST as i was about to get a kill lmao
the hidden bunker event has +10min timer
>>545916473Dam is where I encounter the most KoS shitters. Probably because it's the first map you can play and all the Tarkov/Fortnite players think it's normal to shoot everyone they see.
i win
>>545914060Either that, tranny, nigger, or no pic because they're turbo normies
>>545916473fuck no dam is a warzone, space port is chill n shoot clankers
>launch tower/bunker loot >just ignore the tower and bunker and loot all the other zones in peace
Allow us to use defib on ourselves y/n?
what would be the best loadout to basically roam around and delete kosniggers? basically being able to turn and burn? anvil and il toro?
>>545910652Honestly, why take anything in yellow besides max stamina and less stamina cost for moving? Specially shit like Calming Stroll, which doesn't even trigger unless you RP-walk, or actively aim down sights, making you so slow that it's not gonna make the difference. No stamina vaults? Who cares? Jump vault? Whoo, Maxed out crawl speed? What, are you planning for failure now? Better wall leaps? You're taking all that instead of going for security breach in red which is not only great in itself, but also has much nicer shit on the way, like extra carry weight, faster reveals, etc? and after going for that you still got enough points left over to pretty deep in green.
>>545917402il toro is dogshitanvil and stitcher if you must
>>545917391fuck no
>>545917158Someone at an elevator gave me one recently. Nice guy.
>>545917402Torrente, indoors is the lowest ttk you can hope to achieve
>>545917363LOLspaceport is even worse than blue waffle
why is space port getting all the cool events and the other maps dont get shit?
>>545917798I have quite literally never been shot by another player at spaceport
Does Shroud ever play solo? I keep hearing how he's like the best shooter player ever but he always plays trios.
>>545917934no and he's a cheater
>>545917925For me its the contrary. There's ALWAYS a nigger who's gonna abuse the fact that you're already fighting something to fuck you up.
Are Venators, Torrentes and Osprey actually rare? I got one of each (I can craft the first 2 even) but I'm scared to bring it to a raid in case I get shot in the back by some free kitter.
>>545917934the game has kernel level anticheat, serverside anti cheat AND ai driven clientside anti cheat. shroud cant play solos because it would show how mediocre he is without his cheats
>>545916845yeah it takes really long to activate the antennas and then downloading all 8 datasthe question is, what do we do after we've collected all the datathere's nothing else to interact with in the bunker
Why would you voluntarily wipe in this game?
>>545918351if you have the BP for venator then run venator every raid...
>>545918976only use case is if you really fucked up your skills by not knowing any better
>>545918976cause zero to hero runs are the only kind of content in extraction shooters.
>>545918976more stash spacebut if it resets if you miss an expedition then fuck that i'm not wageslaving this game
I need someone in ASIA to carry my ass
>>545919001I feel like I'd shoot on sight if I wander around in blues/epics.
>>545918976You get a cosmetic for it and some bonus skill points
>>545918976Some skins, More space and skill points plus xp bonus. But I'm not sure of doing it myself because it also resets quests and my blueprints
Not going to reset unless they let you keep blueprints
>>545914791That would be easily clarified by adding the keybind in the description.
>>545920186Every time you do an expedition, you should get to pick a blueprint that will be unlocked permanently. That fixes the problem of losing ALL your blueprints, and removes a part of the blueprint RNG.
it's just as simple as looting the first raider cache you hear
>>545912379This game doesn't even have half of Tarkov's necessity that you need to get very good at playing Tetris in a pinch. So laid back in a way it's insane.
>On my way doing a quest>A raider pops up>Ask him if it's okay for me to shoot him real quick for cred shit, put down meds for him.>He takes the meds and is like "yeah sure">I shoot him once with my shotty>He heals up>We go our separate waysWhat a nice little interaction.
>>545920618This would be an acceptable compromise. Not losing my wolfpack print.
>>545920618fuck that, full wipe or no balls
>>545921423if only all raiders were this civilized
>>545921423I just shoot people once the elevator is closing
once i get the last 2 ryder pieces im gonna save for the next Deck
Bit of a weird design decision but: what's the point of making you click "free loadout"? Clearly if you do not have anything in your loadout, you want a free loadout. What's the point if going into the match with nothing at all? Hell, if you wanted that nothing is stopping you from dropping the free loadout that you get.
>>545922592what about the coins on the last page?
>>545922674Going into the match with nothing at all gives you a safety pocket. Free loadout does not.
There should be special blueprint rewards from expeditions. Like simple gun parts
>>545922813no
>>545922575I still had a lot of shit to do and chances are there would be no raiders other than me with 5 minutes on the clock so I just figured I'd ask.
these quests legitimately suck ass
>>545922943Yeah, fag
>>545922781Ah well. I see.
>>545920764I never get anything good in those bitches
is into the fray the last quest? i just want the fucking outfit and questing is getting harder with all these pvpnogs wasting your time.
>>545922592Bro you have like more than a month and the game just shits out blue coins at you
>>545922592I already got all the cosmetics/emotes from this deck. Ryder is the only good thing there.
just lost 4 games in a row trying to pvp to the dumbest shit possible and rats.Unironically makes me want to uninstall
>>545922813a big fat dildo you can use as a backpack trinket
>>545917934He was never the "best shooter player", he's just an ex tier 1 CS pro so he has way above average aim. He wasn't even a top aimer when it came to CS, people who call cheats on him are genuine shitcans. There were legit players who had way better aim than him in CS even during his peak.And above all, he's a content creator. Content is better created with friends than solo.
>another night raid>another time getting bumrushed by a psychotic freekit with zero self preservation incentive
trials is meme shit and should only get meme shit as rewardswho gives a shit if you grinded out a bunch of arc kills
setting it up is a pain in the ass if i get the wrong spawn or late spawn, also expensive for a single kill but man is it fun, just had to see these fucks actually jump before detonating
>>545924150You could just use a single jolt mine. That gives you 4 seconds to riddle them with holes.
I hate the anvil so fucking much. That gun is so fucking busted.
>>545923409most of the time it's ammo and random quick use stuff. But I could've sworm I looted a blueprint from one. Either way, I seek them out.
Dark and Darker blows this shitty shooter out of the water
>>545868739enlighten us
What's these mean?
>>545924554cool
>>545924407Why does literally every game that features revolver weapons always start with revolver weapons being overtuned as fuck?Even Blizz had to rape Mcree a couple of times to bring him in line.
>>545924656Packet loss and latency
>>545924396raping their eyes and ears is much more fun
>>545924656that their servers are shitting themselves
>>545924656dogshit game can't handle a server load, unlike dark and darker by ironmace
>>545924694Anvil isn't that good. It's got abysmal TTK, really bad at closer range and is only good at medium range engagements. It does best against light shield niggers but no one cares about those anyway.I honestly just salvage/sell the ones I find now.
>>545924694they're balanced as for consolefag aim not Adderall addicted zoomers who pixel peak and always land headshots
>>545924835Bullshit. Jiggle peek with third person means the anvil is fucking BUSTED.
This game is unironically too hard.>kill ARC with fireball burner>fireballs literally dont exist>have to bring in my own burners>which means loading out my own kit>cant split stacks, so a death means loss of way more shit than necessary >walk 10 feet out from spawn>rocketeer spots me>game over>minus a loadout, a gun, 100 light ammo, a shield, and five bandages>fuck it, go on with nothing but the burners>make it to administration>pop instantly aggros on me from around a corner and half kills me>random player finishes me off
>>545924694People crying about anvil are genuinely shit. It has one range at which it is really strong, everything else it falls off.
>>545922813is there even a simple gun parts bp
>>545924992Just don't fucking peek it, it's also very inaccurate at any ranges past a stones throw with the dispersion.
>>545924994>can't split stacks????????
>buried city>see raider A kill someone in the distance>sneak over there to take him out>raider B shows up from the distance and shoots raider A, but then sees me and magdumps me>Down raider B who blew my cover, raider A jumps down off the roof he was on to finish me off>raider B is screaming at A to kick my ass (lol), A goes down too and B whines about how he just wants to get a good gun>raider C shows up and starts shooting me, run into nearby house>Raider D shows up and kills C unaware that I'm around>shoot D while he's looting C>get attacked by raider E and barely scrape by with a sliver of hp and kill him tooboy what a tussle that was. My medium shield was my savior.
>>545885520If by 20 seconds left on the map you meant the raid timer and not the elevator timer, he did have time to loot you.
>>545924835>>545925097You say that until you run into a dude who can actually fucking aim with it and get your head blown smoove off your shoulders.
>>545924031Wait a couple of minutes before moving out of your starting position. Most of the suicidal freegers will be dead by then
>>545925170If there's a way to do it it doesn't appear under any context menu or tutorial.
>shoot guy in the back with ferro before unloading a full stitcher into him point blank>He survives somehow>Pulls out shotgun and two shots meWhat the actual fuckWhen i loot i get ambushed and nuked before i can even blink, but when i try to do the same thing, the enemy just soak up all my shots like sponges
>>545925279nigga is playing arc while blind lmao
>>545925102That's why I said it should be a SPECIAL blueprint, something unavailable outside of doing an expedition
>>545885837Player sounds are very audible, even crouch walking isn't silent.
>>545925215Oh no, sub 0.1% of the playerbase can make the gun work at every range, whatever the fuck will I do. Oh, except use a weapon that has faster ttk either way at range it's disadvantaged.
>>545922813No way retard
>>545924150jesus christ
>>545924694Because balance logic brain says: "100 shots for 1 damage each in 2 seconds" is the same as "1 shot for 100 damage every 2 seconds". On paper, yeah if you're a robot sure thing. But if an enemy has 100 HP, it's much easier to land that 1 shot and get the kill, than it is to control each of your 100 shots without a single miss. And people will keep making that mistake.The truth of course is that a single weapon from a high RoF weapon will fuck your day up about as much as a low RoF bullet, but hey. If guns were realistic in games, shotguns wouldn't become useless after 2 meters.
>>545925457Kill yourself, cocksucker
>>545925279hold alt and drag nigga
>>545924994just keep going into buildings and you will stack up burners and you can throw them at any arc to get a kill, even if you damaged it already with a gun, just take 2 or 3 burners on these building runs and you will get an opportunity to throw it at a tick turret or pop or burner.
>>545925179it is funny how people jump in to help others and it kind of just creates a perpetual machine of third partying
>>545887229Yes, but you also could in the server slam.
>>545924770>>545924792>>545924834Thanks anon. I was really confused, because the first one looked like a frame rate warning of some kind, and I was running 145, the second, I kinda figured it was ping, despite me never having a ping above 20 in anything.
>>545925312get fucked backstabber
>got a quest to get some arc parts>Decide to hunt some wasps with free gear>see the models parts drop but can never find the actual lootable body.I'm just gonna fucking kill myself.
>>545925215They would have to hit two headshots in a row, and with the inbuilt dispersion of the anvil that'd mean they're fucking cracked or I am standing still, either way the TTK would be very comparable to just using any smg.
>>545917934buddy, if he was the best shooter, he wouldn't had became a streamer or would at least be competing when he was still in his prime
My streamer of choice is starting to lose interest in the game. Said losing gear sucks and they're over it. I wonder what this games longevity really is.
>>545925502That's interesting theorycraft that has nothing to do with reality. Pretty much what I expect from people who don't actually play any shooters.
>>545925934Oh no asmongold bros???!!!!! What are we gonna do now?mmnnm !!!!!??!
>die again trying to get to administration and give up>take a free loadout without the burners>spawn directly in front of the administrations front door with all the pops and shitAlright, I'm killing myself.
>>545925821There's a big smoke trail coming from the lootable part.
>>545925130holy fucking cope>abysmal ttkmaybe upgrade it?>inaccurateyeah after like 300 meters>its only against light shields2taps a medium user if its head
>>545925934>pvp happened in a pvp game therefore im over it
what the FUCK is this spaceport event going on right now? this is intense
>>545926257>Bro just stand still and let the aim settle for one hour so you can tap heads.
>>545925934Game isn't going to last a month at this rate, all you do is camp exits and rape people trying to leave and loot them. 0 effort game where the ganker wins. yawnnnn
>hopping on subway in buried city>spot guy hiding in corner with anvil>say I'm cool if we want to go out together>2nd guy responds coming down stairs>3rd walks in on other side and says hi>1st guy never says anything or puts his gun away>all 4 of us get on>1st guy jumps back out the doors just as the train is leavingDefinitely an extract camper caught in an awkward position.
>>545926441>Take the hatch exitOoops enjoy your pissbottles and shitsocks.
This game's quests are souring me on it, they suck so much assThe plot is boring and 80% of the quests boil down to "go to X interact to Y extract"
>>545926727nothing meaningful is gated behind the quests, you can just not do them
>kill a snitch>jumped by two wasps and a hornet>dieSo is the Dam just unplayable during the Harvester event or what?
>>545926441hatch keys exist for this reason. You'll be sitting at the last extract for 30 minutes seeing fuckall.
>>545926810I want the cosmetics
>>545926383>cant into upgrading>cant into muzzle brakes/compensatorssorry you cant kill in half a second with it, but i cant do much with your skill issues
>>545926961Post yourself playing I'm sure we can all have a chuckle.
>>545926961You literally can't, look up the upgraded IV firing rate fucking retard.
>>545925934Losing gear does suck. Always has, always will. It's hard to make: "You can get turbo fucked and lose hours of farming" feel good. Specially if you don't know if it was a cheater or a skill issue, or hell, even if you know it was an ambush you didn't see coming. If you lose your gear too much, you start wondering: "Why bother with a game where if I lose my shit, I have to eat shit for hours, to get back up to where I can enjoy the core gameplay loop, when I could just download a game where even after dying 12 times, i can just queue up again and have no disadvantage?" Losing gear is a negative feedback loop. You already got shit on, and congrats, now you lost potentially some of your best items. Imagine playing Rainbow Six Siege, and if you lose too many matches, you get your gadget and your main gun taken away.
>>545926830if you killed it it wouldnt be spawning wasps and hornet
>>545926830Sounds like a (you) problem. The harvester event is only relevant if you are in the east part with the red water.
>>545927091>>545927059sorry, my bad, its hefty 0,85 fucking secondsfuuuuuuuuck
>>545926673>irrelevant pve player running away from fightsyuup cya on the next fotm game lil gup!
>>545926810uhh the blueprints dude
>>545925724Oh fuck off, i didnt backstab him, i snuck up on him while he was looting
>>545927560Cry me a river bitch nigga
>>545927442Yeah? It has some of the worst ttk in the game, glad we agree.
>>545927560>I didn't stab him in the back>I SHOT him in the backmy mistake
>>545927442NTA but>TTK is lower than fire rate even though it takes 2 shots to killNice math.
Do pistols unholster faster than rifles and smgs?Whats the best weapon to pull out after shooting someone with a ferro?
>>545927652nta but I can't think of any meaningful blueprints locked behind quests either
>go into match with nothing but a key in my ass pocket>lose nothing when I dieepic
>>545927716When i said shot him in the back i didnt mean that i gained his trust and then betrayed himI just meant that i ambushed him while he was looting
>>545927792they do pull faster but desu you'd be better off going for the melee if you get caught in the 'reload dance' with another player
How the fuck are people so high lv already? I want the sforza set
>>545926810The hullcracker ammo blueprint is a quest reward
>>545927707ttk assumes every shot hits, have fun trying to hit all shots perfectly when you need 9 headshots for a killnow try that from 100m range toomuch easier to do with anvil and much more reliable, there is a reason literally fucking everyone runs it along with venatorbut w/e, keep denying, once you're not afraid to fight people you'll see its strength
>take full kit to night raid for secure breaches>get shot in the back by campers every fucking time>go freekit>everyone's chill
So what went wrong with this slop game? No PvE mode killed it for me, not playing with underage retards who camp exits.
>>545928513That's the gear worth matchmaking at play anon.Check your gear worth before you go in, higher net worth means you're up against people geared up to kill.
>>545928529ITT:babbys first extraction shooter
>>545928635this is deboonked. for some reason the matchmaking only prioritizes stuffing players together as fast as possible without regards to ping or gearscore.
>>545928424>It's good..>IF you use the best weapon of the game with itUh huh
>>545928529nothing went wrong with this game, you're just a gigantic pussy
>I don't usually deal with Raders one-on-one, but you're always welcome to stop by and drop off your seedWhat did she mean by this?
>>545928874>reading comprehensionshouldn't you be 16 to post on this basket weaving forum?
>>545928921>>545928679Toxic attitude is why this game is going to die out. Quit being a sweatlord and stfu
>>545928424>much easier to do with anvil and much more reliableNo it isn't.>there is a reason literally fucking everyone runs it along with venatorNo shit, you fucking retard. They run a weapon that clears ARC and works as a mid to long range (in a pinch) poking weapon. The fact that your imbecile brain does not understand why people run it with Venator in the first place is amazing.People use Anvil because it's CHEAP, it works against both players and ARC. There are weapons that are better than it at every single range but are more expensive. If your argument is that it's too strong for its price, then sure. But to quote your stupid nigger ass:>sorry you cant kill in half a second with it, but i cant do much with your skill issues>yeah after like 300 meters>2taps a medium user if its head>but w/e, keep denying, once you're not afraid to fight people you'll see its strengthPost yours or shut the fuck up.

>>545929551Hate this bitch and her voice so much.
Can you feel it? The pressure is rising. Soon it will snowball and before you know it, everyone plays kill on sight.
>>545929716I accept your concession. You can now go back to pretending you play the game.
>>545929551Just put the exodus module and gun parts in the bag
>>545929882I'm not letting you nakeds leave your key runs alive

>>545929895fukken lmao, guess i am just indeed better, im sure forcing a retreat after an anvil hit is just ignoreable

>>545929551why is every npc a woman or brown
>>545931002there are also 'do damage to arc' challenges dummy
>>545931047The whites left to live in space, and are the ones sending the ARC down to gather resources
>>545931002That's the only time the game directly incentivizes pvp, and even then I could see them switching it all to arc/raider damage.>>545931047>lance
>>545930580BUT BROOOOOO THE OSPREY DEALS 45 DAMAGE with sure a better zoom but the same accuracy, and slow ass rechamberingBROOOO THE JUPITER DOES 55 DAMAGE have fun getting it, wait till you see the that now you have to fucking charge the shot lmaoPLEASE BROOO THE RENEGADE, ITS 35 DMG BUT IT still only fires at about the same rate as anvilB-B-BUT.... FUCK THERE ARE NO OTHER GOOD LONG RANGE WEAPONSdont even get me started on midrangem sure up close a bobcat or a shotgun is better but if you get melee range with an anvil you either are executing some dog or you fucked up>>545929895here, just for you, subhuman
>>545931059Yeah, but that's not the same. There's no possibility to work together with the ARCs, you can't do a "don't kill me and I'll help you kill players" pact with them. ARCs are essentially barriers that are in between you and your loot. And the question becomes: Will other players help you get over those barriers, or will they betray you? And since the reverse is not true for you and the barriers, having damage quests for both is not actually the same. >>545931349In my opinion they should take raider challenges out. Make the choice to attack another human, a purely human decision. No excuse of: "Oh, I wanted my challenge". Semi related: when that one guy made DayZ, he actually expected everyone to kill each other pretty much 100% of the time for the resources, and he was surprised to discover how often people would co-operate against the zombos instead.
>>545931214How do the spaceniggers even build Arcs up there without resources
>>545929882I don't get where this sentiment comes from. I just played 3 raids in a row without firing a shot. People are chill. I still only really get engaged on in squads, never solos
>>545897473Also saved loadouts.
>>545931617I like the Renegade because of the fire rate, capacity, and the velocity. It's a hell of a lot more expensive to run though
>>545931784They colonized mars or some shit
Why do we get into a pod thing when we start a mission? Why not just take the elevators?
I see a lot of people posting about how good a time they have when everyone is pretending PvP doesn't exist. Makes me kinda hope they go in a more PvE direction with some future updates.
>>545931929i would agree if i wouldnt find it littered fucking everywhere, while player bodies are pretty much guaranteed to contain an anvil, every container that can spawn a weapon is pretty much guaranteed to drop a renegade(paired with a bettina blueprint ofc)
>>545903881Just be the first in the hidden bunker and you'll find literally a hundred fireballs in their.
Why the fuck does this have to be light shield only, goddammit
>>545932165shields are a massive meme, light is all you need
>>545931617>PLEASE BROOO THE RENEGADE, ITS 35 DMG BUT IT still only fires at about the same rate as anvilRenegade has literally the same STK as anvil on the most common pvp setup people run which is medium shield. It also fires noticeably faster, has 3x the mag size with upgrade and has lower dispersion while having better accuracy. So yeah it is literally better than anvil at pretty much everything.
>>545931784The space shit is actually a lie and it's only Italy that is this apocalyptic hellhole. The rest of the world is fine and ARCs deploy from a space station/satellite manned and stocked by the other nations of the world.
>>545932092The reason teaming up with retards in solo feels great is because there is the ever-present threat of a nigger moment at any time, so when you make it and say your goodbyes you feel extra good because no one nigged.
>>545932143Renegade is pretty shit until it's lvl 3/4, but once it is it's hard for anything else to compete with the versatility
>>545932019it's za futur anon
brownoid turd worlders lmao
>>545932305thats why everyone is running it i guessinb4 muh pricemoney is literally free in this game
Where do you find gun parts most commonly? I built and upgraded the torrente for a meme and now I'm out and can't build a venator. That whore celeste will only sell me 3 per day
>>545932246I only play medium/heavy, light is genuinely throwing away your kit
>>545932565heavy is dogshit they should buff it or buff the perk that makes you move faster with it, it doesn't even feel like you can notice the difference at 5 points
>>545932565jesus christ nigga you playing 10 hours a day or what
>>545932565in most cases(anvil/renegade) medium tanks one extra shot, while slowing you down, and making you waste some of your rechargers as its 70 and not 50 for surge or 80 for 2 normals
whats the point doing this expedition shit?Seems like a pointless resource sink.
>>545932565>>545932701Heavy shield is amazing if you are running Vulcano/close range and especially playing solo. The amount of times I've survived getting jumped as a solo with the heavy shield is astounding. It's also pretty damn good on buried cities because of all the close range fights. Playing it in squads is pretty miserable unless your teammates are kinda shit and not good at pathing to places properly
>>545932702damn imagine, fucking nolifers>>545932838max level is 75, max inventory space is 280, it seems a lot but it really isnt, expedition will give you extra skill points and inv space
Unless people say "don't shoot" to me now or shoot me first, I will shoot them. I'm done being nice. I'll shoot people who are looting. Just rekt this guy with my Stitcher on Dam. The era of innocence is over.
>>545933051If you hear someone and you know they heard you, if you don't exchange "Don't shoots" or "Hello's" at that point it's go time.
>>545932702Not as much as I wished I was, and I've been helping out a lot of friends instead of being a murderhobo
>>545931618>Semi related: when that one guy made DayZ, he actually expected everyone to kill each other pretty much 100% of the time for the resources, and he was surprised to discover how often people would co-operate against the zombos instead.Stuff like that is delicious. It puts all the cynics and sociopaths to shame. Yeah, people aren't all nice and there will absolutely be betrayal, but the idea that everyone's just out to get you is just dead fucking wrong. People like being cooperative to an extent, else we wouldn't actually have civilization. A mate of mine is deeply distrustful because of past experiences. I get it. But whenever we play games like these, he goes all in on that attitude and is usually first to shoot. Ironically, the constant aggression is too much for him too, so he burns out on the game quickly. Meanwhile, when we play without him, we have plenty of chill cooperative experiences and still more than enough good fights. It demonstrates how you can create your own hell.
>>545932317Based ROW finally dunking on Italy for not accepting the glory that is pineapple on pizza.
>>545932019Because it's cool as fuck
>>545932551I found a lot while searching for cooling fans in tech buildings
>>545929882I killed everyone who dared to shoot at me today.

I just killed a guy looting the reinforced reception security room. He seemed completely oblivious despite me sprinting all the way there. Hadn't even closed the door to the room and he just kept looting as I shot him.I don't typically kill unprovoked but he needed a reality check in self preservation.
>>545933264>Yeah, people aren't all nice and there will absolutely be betrayal, but the idea that everyone's just out to get you is just dead fucking wrong.Yeah, there's always some fucks out there, who are assholes themselves, and they justify it to you by saying: "Grow up, out there in the world, everyone is like me, everyone is a fucking asshole". But that's not really true. People generally like to help, and if you let them, they can be pretty selfless. This "dude, just dick everyone over bro, they'd do it to you!" is totally learned behavior. Look at this mask shit for instance. In Japan it was common courtesy for decades that if you're sick, or worried you might be getting sick, you wear a mask. Nobody looks at you weird, and nobody complaints. In the US, people are asked to wear a mask for a bit, they have a fucking meltdown, and start calling them "face diapers", because media influencers start telling them masks are the Idea of the bad people with the different politics, instead of what they actually are: A patriotic act to protect your fellow citizens. And you only see that behavior in people who have been indoctrinated into being assholes. In game, and IRL.
>>545934685I don't think that one needs to be all in the same round.
>>545934698>Guy, most likely a kid, thought he was playing a fun game where you shoot at robots and loot old buildings>You pop up like a nigger behind him and shoot him dead
>>545934790It's a video game. You people have mental issues.
first time i've got tilted from getting killed in the game. faggot streamer was camping extract with trigger nades he had previously planted inside. i'm less annoyed after seeing how ugly his face is
Is there a way to test the voice changer feature? I wanna check which version sounds best for me, but there's no "test" feature?

By the way, if you get weird stutters, it's likely the Discord overlay or something like that. Disabling it fixed it for me.
>>545935776you can call them niggers on this site
>>545935815Check the rules
make a new thread
do the couriers drop surveyor vaults too?
>>545935916sure thing nigger
>it's another "game spawns 50 wasps and hornets to gangrape you out of nowhere" episode
>>545936013yes
>>545935049This will happen more and more as the game goes on and people get that blueprint. Those grenades are cheap and it only takes two to kill anything.
>sub 10 raids to my name so far>only 2 people have shot at me and one stopped and we extracted togetherHonestly, this is kinda nice.
>>545936013i got some earlier.
>>545929551is the rule34 machine churning? she's the prettiest npc in the game
>>545936279don't trust people too much, i've gotten too used to running around unarmed, i keep my gun out when i see people and around hot zones now.
>>545936013It's rare but it's possible. I'm not sure if it'll count for the quest if you get it from couriers though.
Do key room give better loot if opened during night raids?
>>545936897yes, everything does
farming leapers to throw their pulse units at players seems like a really funny idea.
what's the 2x promotion thing even mean on the trials leaderboard?
>>545936463thats really not a high bar anon
>>545936897Yes but then you have a full sack of loot and no raider hatch to safely extract so you might not make it.Daytime loot is already good enough.

>>545938686no u
>>545911431Thanks anon, gonna try this route! I'll bring the grenade launchef, I'll feel safer against those.
>>545937935Thanks.
>>545938818forgot to mention; this means its hanging under the overpass.good luck out there raider
>>545911431Based.
>>545917402Fully kitted stitcher + impacts. Beam their head as soon as you get shot. Impact instead of reload as they retreat to cover.
I still have yet to do the harvester, kill the queen, play on blue gate without a quest forcing me to go there, do the spaceport tower, or use any keys during night
>>545939485how many hours?
>>545939485How have you played so much while engaging with almost NONE of the fun game elements?
>>545939598100 on steam, about 80 in game. You could definitely grind xp with a hullcracker on night raids if you wanted to level faster
>>545902139this is exactly what I'm working on now, myself, except I started on the left and am working my way rightjust 2 more points in mobility then switching to survival to make my way toward loot locker bullshit mostly a solofag so no team members as crutches
>>545939719>You could definitely grind xp with a hullcracker on night raids if you wanted to level fasterWhy would you want to do that though?
Do headshots in this game actually matter, genuine question.
>loot control tower with key>put two mines at the entrance>hear some guy approaching>fighting the pops and spiderbots>opens door, gets exploded>somehow still alive>he just walks in like he owns the placeyeah ok dude did you think those mines were an invitation to come steal my loot or what
>>545940146Sounds pretty based and you sound like a fag buddy
>>545940073Yes
>>545940192Well, I'm a fag with a slightly burnt mk 3 looting augment and a modded Bettina II now.
why does the game spawn me on the other fucking side of the map from the north hatch on spaceport? i keep killing myself and loading back in, i just want my fucking mushrooms
>>545940435The game knows and then spawns you as far away as possible :)
how many swings to down someone? I hit them 4 times after taking their shield down and they didn't die
>>545936040Can you imagine the boards if that rule was actually enforced? Like actually?
>>545939184thanks but i changed my crosshair to the dot and now i'm destroying everyone with the anvil. also extended mags 2 stitcher 2.
>>545939485queen achievement bugged btw
removing the 'deal damage with ammo to raiders' challenge might do alot to curb kos behavior
>>545939850nta, but some people feel like not having all the skills they could possibly have puts them at a disadvantage and they're autistic about feeling like every go is the best it possibly could be. Part of which is max level.Not saying this is a reasonable way to approach the game, that's just what it is.
>>545940146I'm as friendly raider as they come but it's astounding how many solos think "don't shoot" is a free pass into an unlocked key room.
>>545892770He probably perceived the gift as bait to coerce him into lowering his guard and fuck with his inventory so that you could unholster your weapon and shoot him in the face.
I assume the "intended" progression path is using the wolfpack grenades I got from some quest to kill a bombard, then a rocketeer then a surveyor, to upgrade my benches or something like that? the fucking stash inventory being so goddamned small is killing meeach individual category should have the capacity of what the combined tab currently is
Threads for this game will die whenever the one or two people who actually bake get bored of it and leave.I don't care enough about the game to do it myself though.
>>545941580Wolf nades are for rocketeers. Blaze grenades are better at killing the big ground arcs. For a leaper you probably want to throw a shock grenade first.
>>545941620it just hit another peak dude. you're a loser
> solos: interesting mix of people, about 80/20 split between chill people and silent psychopaths looking to steal your bag. people looting a lot of stuff and teaming arcs>groups: entire lobby is here to feast on your entrails, dont even loot half the containers in most areas. most of them aren't even going to interact with arc at allis this fixable?
>>545941790working as intended, I think
>>545941790what needs fixing there?
>>545941871>>545941880i just think its lame that I have fun emergent gameplay in solo, then I duo with my friend and it's basically battle royale
Why are Snitches literally impossible to kill?
>>545942032Duos is miserable
>>545942082Seconding that, it's either you outplay constantly or you're gonna die to trios due to being outgunned
>>545942032Hopefully your friend is at least competent. Mine constantly throws by only loading in with a ferro and a light shield and claims "it's not a free loadout because I upgraded my ferro". No grenades or traps or anything
>>5459420783 wings, break two and it dies. Wait for it to spin around after breaking the first one
>>545942078shoot the white bits, not the black centeryes its counterintuitive
>Launch the game>right click the arc window on the task while the little pre-game pop up is doing it's loading>press "close window">the game now crashes>the crash leaves an arc process in your processes, even though the game is not running any more>selecting the task and pressing "end task" does not end the task (Why is that a thing in windows these days anyways? How can end task not fucking kill a task?)>When you try to launch arc again it crashes with a simultaneous instances messageTadaaa! Magic!
>>545942239I can only ever shoot off one before it flies away
>>545942078>>545942330>shoot off one of the snitcher wings>it spazzes out and goes flying like 20 meters behind a wall and then spawns drones
>>545942163Not him but mine alt tabs to search quest solutions in the middle of nowhere and complains I didn't warn him when he gets lit up by players or arc
>free loadout>rattler>surrender
>>545942717Just use melee and go smash a raider's face
>>545942717its the only thing freebies deserve
>>545941790an enemy/event you need to team up as squads to kill
>>545941620kill yourself, doomnigger
>>545942717Free loadout is completely garbage. a ferro costs like pocket lint and you can craft an actual augment for just a bit more, and get a safe pocket. i dont think it ever should have existed and only serves to reinforce gear fear in a game that shouldn't really have any because all the loot is barely rare.
New thread hurry we're going down
I thought I would never like a battle royale/extraction shooter, but this is fun
Just put free niggers in their own lobby.
>>545943285Battle royales are usually pretty fun. It's extraction shooters are more often than not just the video game equivalent of ass cancer.
>>545943159yeah i'm glad the free loadout is in the game but a ferro 1 with 20 bullets is just better because you get butt slot and can actually bring real heals
>>545941790I'm curious how a duo queue would go. Probably somewhere between solos and trios, with lots more backstabbing but 1/2 teams willing to not shoot on sight.
Holy fuck I just cannot get to scrapyard without trudging trough almost 1k meters of KOS faggots jesus christ. This is like the 3rd match in a row. I get shot by one guy and then finished off by a literal who with a fucking Osprey somewhere. I bring garbage so its never an issue but damn, it wasn't this cut throat before.
>>545943641I'd love a duo queue, going vs trios is awful as a duo
>>545941790>fixablekeeping them split IS the fix, anonsolo is for mostly chill/casual enjoyment after wageslavinggroups is for tryhard sweatlording with all your farmed up max level gear and character with the bros that said, I would not mind some maps/content being exclusive to the group queue as long as it's not lightyears ahead of what can be done in soloqueue
>>545943328with grantedyou will now always spawn in a session where everyone else is freekiting
>>545943749You had to rush your quests at launch. The game is full of people who've completed all their grinding.Now every raid has 1/2 people that just camp a mountain to kill people with an osprey for 30 minutes. They don't even extract or loot people, I even watched one just wait out the timer and die in the mountains on dam.
>>545942523upgrade your guna ferro 3 is quite cheap and practically halves the reload time, making it much easier to pop themI do naked runs with just a ferro a stack of bandages and a stack of heavy ammo in my ass
sO i'M FULLY KITTED OUT and all the solos I kill have cheap ass kits green greys nothing fucking good? I killed 5 people and they all were poor
>>545942472just restart your pc dude, jesus
>>545944164Enjoy my scraps faggot, I got what I needed in my ass.
>>545944164I just wish at least post-death I can easily see if someone is running a free kit without having to loot them and waste 15 second revealing garbage.
>>545944265I'm an uptime girl. I don't like doing that, so I'm bitching. But yeah that's obviously the solution.
>>545934790>Mask ape
I wonder if the big brain move here is just buying your loadouts from tradersthey sell a renegade for 21k, anvil for 15k, looting mk.2 for 6k...I can make like double all that in a single raid.
>>545944164They are all too scared to take good kits out. Once you find another kitted chad, you will be dead and he will be looting you
>>545944956Those are limited buys.
>>545944956you should definitely buy weapons and stuff whenever you can from the traders. money is easy enough to make so its like a free weapon desu
lmao fucking losers camping key rooms with minesHow fucking boring do you have to be to just sit and wait?
>>545945202It's very fun actually
>>545944164stop killing players at the swamp outpost and go to the admin building like a real chad
>>545944164There's literally zero incentive to being good shit unless you want to kill players and there's zero incentive to kill players because they all carry shit because they don't want to kill players.
I almost think the caravan should be a global thing that just "happens" and completing the quest to prepare for it just gives you the benefits mentioned.failing the quest or ignoring it gives you none of the benefits but the reset still happens anyway
odds i buy the game, evens i wait for FOTM to pass
>>545945312Just sitting for half a match? A whole 15 minutes doing NOTHING?
>>545945541I browse my phone
>>545945541NTA, but they're farming a different metal than you are, anon>>545944164>tryhards in the chill/relaxed queue>"wtf why no tryhard gear"lol, lmao
>>545945518No one asked for your shitty unemployed opinions
>>545945518youre missing the point of the mechanic entirely
>>545945651I work 60 hour weeks faggotI've also seen what games like this devolve into as soon as a majority of the playerbase reaches a comfortable accumulation of gearit's not good for enjoyment or longtem game health
>loot apartments for 10 minutes trying to get a dog collar >loot some crashed old ARCs for half decent shit>spend the next 6 minutes having to walk across the map for the only open lift>die to a random rocketeer that spawned over my head>waste of 20 minutesI'm amazed the player count is so high because this is simultaneously one if the most boring and frustrating games I've ever played.
why the FUCK IS HTERE NOT A DUOS MODE YET
>>545946395Just use fill squad to get a random retard that immediately runs off :)
Is there an effective way of getting revenge on players who kill you?
>>545946395it's just not possible
>>545946617cyberstalk them
Newfag question: Should I go into matches crafting a basic ferro and a pack of heavy ammo and nothing else? Or is doing a half asses loadout like that kind of a waste in itself? It would at least allow for a safe pocket. I am considering maybe taking looting mk1 as well, but I feel like even with basic inventory I already run into encoumberance sometimes, how worth is it to take the extra inventory slots?tl;dr: bother with minimal loadouts or just go free kit?
>>545946617If you add them as a friend through the game, which can be done in the recap screen that shows who killed you, you can join their lobby.Even if they are in the game and dont accept your friend request you can still join their lobby. Then you can mic spam and kill them a nigger rat on voice chat.
>>545946726Always go for basic kit unless you literally cannot afford a ferro + 20 rounds. The ass slot is worth it every time.
>>545946726looter mk1ferro 21 stack of ammo in the asslight shield2x bandages2x shield rechargers 5x contact grenadesdirt cheap and effective - the looter mk1 also gives you more weight capacity then going naked so it;'s worth it
>>545946726I've played a bit and at this point I'm bringing trash when I'm looking for specific items. I might kit up for a big arc hunt, but there's just too many rat faggots that I'd rather they get nothing from me and I leave with what I wanted. Scrappy can keep you at the bare minimum of gear needed to get in, grab what you need, and get out with a nice haul or die with what you needed.
>>545946968>>545946726adding to this - weapons weigh a shitload so only carry one until you've got both the weapon weight and the carry weight perks maxed, imo gives you a free slot to pick up a better weapon from any corpses you run across, too
>>545946958I guess I have never shot a full stack of heavy ammo when I found a ferro.>>545946968Ammo in the safe spot? I assume you mean until I find something better? But I'll keep that basic loadout in mind. I literally just started so I gotta do a few rounds of farming to be able to craft a couple of those items. Gotta do a round farming some arc parts, too. >>545947059>scrappystill gotta find that dog collar. When I google "arc dog collar" all I get is Hasan videos.>>545947350Ferro a decent pick I guess as a solo weapon then?
>>545947426I find tons of collars in the dam admin building, second floor offices. The lockers and desks are OP in that place,
>>545945817have you tried getting better? You also shouldn't be playing alone this is a team game
the durability bleed on the purple guns is retarded. I took it into one match and it's already almost broken
This game is putrid dogshit for about 6 hours then turns into pure gems 6.1 hours in.
>>545947797Never had that happen, which one were you using?
>>545947426>ammo in the safe spot?yeah it works just fine there, you can reload from your ass without any issues and it's the most useful part of the loadoutfor the dog collar, hit all of the apartments/houses along the west/northwest and north edge of the dam mapferro oneshots unarmored engines and the smaller ground arcs, you want to level it up to 2 or 3 so it reloads faster, but that's cheap>>545945817if you aren't sprinting everywhere like a retard, it's trivial to avoid almost all of the arcsI have literally walked directly underneath a full patrol of rocketeer and 2 hornets before, because I was not sprinting>>545947797take off your epic/legendary mods that increase durability burn, anonno, I don't know why the fuck they do that, it's retarded

Not great for PvP or panic shots, tho.Hm, I guess a not entirely dumb thing to do is to do a few free loadout runs to level scrappy, boost him up, get a good baseline going, and then I don't have to be that anal about what I take in the field.
>>545949503there isn't, because the intended progression loop is effectively resetting your account every ~monthI also have friends who nolifed the game since it dropped and have gotten every blueprint

>>545949689unironically, going in nakes/without a kit is better than taking the "free" kitbecause going in naked gives you an ass pocket, whereas the freekit does notif you're leveling the bird, you need those annoyingly rare items, which means you want to shove them in your ass as soon as you find them so you don' lose them when you get camped at extract>>545949891one found all of themthe other got handed all of the first guy's spares
>>545949187>have never once initiated a fight in 50 hours solo>shoot everybody on sight in groups>friends start asking what my problem is after I kept telling them stories of how everyone in solo is friendlyTeams is a completely different game that plays by completely different rules and you should tell your friend to man up and play solos if he wants that experience.
