How can I expand thread capacity or is it capped at 850 posts?
whats teh best map to farm turrets FUCK
>>546776778upgrade to a 4chan pro account for higher capacity
Is the venator really as good as everyone is saying?
Reminder that all grey guns should be as bad or worse than the rattler/hairpin.
rattler 1 nadelessindentifiable uniform
>>546777249>Lowest weight gun in the game>Highest ttk>Enough ammo for 2 kills per mag, and a fast reload>Medium ammo so it's effective against arcIt has literally no flaws
>>546777254Rattler needs to be buffed to 14 bullets, the rest are fine as is
>>546776912you want sentinels not turretsand you're probably better off just looting every courier you see>>546777249its the most deadly gun in the game. has good handling, can kill multiple people at a time with the extended magazine, and weights less than a burretta for some reasonand is also super ammo efficient because it only takes one ammo per shot
>>546777249It's even better than that
>>546777254I think I disagree.>>546777318This though. Rattler and/or hairpin only, bandages and one shield recharge only.And the rattler should get some decent III upgrades to make it more inline with the other grey weapons instead of just being pure repugnant shit.Rat frigger-lover inventories are going to dwindle fast if they have to actually craft even just grey shit.
>>546777503>Highest ttk
>Raiders don't actually kill each other for some reason>Just knock out each otherWhy is there no bounty system for killing then? Everyone who gets jumped would go back to Speranza and immediately warn everyone else. You should have a gigantic red flare when you spawn if you've killed too many people or something.

>>546777503>>546777554>>546777586How would you balance the venator?
>>546777935It posts your full name and address to those you kill.
>>546777769Good plan, that way I'll know I can KOS without remorse>>546777645Sorry I'm retarded, too much lead in the paint growing up
>hidden bunker>fresh round>not a single leaper in sight>need 3/3 pulse units
>>546777935Make it actually spend two ammo when shootingRemove firerate buff from upgradesThat's it
>>546777254I seriously hate this fucking gun because it's exclusively used by poorfag freekitters to get a free shot at taking 50% of your healthbar at any range.
>>546777935Just nuke the fire rate. For some reason a venator 4 shoots like 2x as fast as a ven 1. Then make it consume 2 bullets a shot, and I'd say it's fine.
>>546777503it can't equip muzzle attachments so it's dogshitneed muh suppressor/extended barrel
>>546777254this. and a guy took me from full HP+shields to less than half health with a rattler. thats perfectly fine for a grey gun. i of course turned around and domed him with my lvl 4 stitcher but thats the thing.everyone says the rattler is the worst gun in the world but if you hit your shots it still does damage. and people bitch about it not being competitive. no, greys should not be braindead w key and kill a pink shield in one mag.>>546777543no theyre not and high tier guns should have a clear advantage over the grey guns. theyre way overtuned and i get devs dont want higher gears to shit all over lower gears but they do in a genre like this. otherwise whats the point of a bobcat when it performs worse than a level 1 rattler with a mag mod?
>>546778116I went 6 rounds without seeing a leaper when I needed to kill one
>>546778521nobody can hear you if they're dead
>doing Hidden Bunker>got a squad of like 10 people>I'm the only one with ziplines>I set one up to get on the north tower for the last satellite>sort of botched it and you need to vault to not fall>I get it on the first try>raider falls>raider falls>flare>flare>set up a better one from the roof>people get on the botched one again>fall>fall>flare>flareSorry bros. They couldn't hear me on the roof saying not to take the first one. We still got everyone defibed and back on their feet though. What is the point of bunkers? The loot was ok and there was computers we had to get data from. I'm not sure it was worth it but it was nice rolling with such a large squad knowing no ratniggers would dare try anything
>go into the match with literally nothing>come out with thisi think i did pretty good
>Friends and i go to Blue gate tunnels>Ganked by a squad of three orange Ryders camping, all of them with Venator IVsImpressive how it only takes 2 weeks for a game's meta to become this horrible
>>546779198Why go in with nothing? Greens are cheap as fuck to make. Commons even more so.
>Tarkov release so bad, it forced those who tried it to ARC.lmao
>>546775545Can guarantee they will sell knockout animations at some point in the future
>>546779361i wanted to do a zero to hero run
>>546779381tarkov "release" is a nothingburger, no idea why /v/irgins acted like it was going to mean something, they are completely out of touch with gaming
>game runs on UE5>looks good and runs good How
>>546777935Make it consume two bullets instead of 1Increase recoil and dispersion
>>546779381Holy shit what the fuck happened.
>>546779593They disabled all the bits and bobs no one notices.
>>546779381To the surprise of literally no one with a brain. Tarkeks are extremely delusional
>>546779420the current animation is so cringe i feel lame killing people just because of how stupid it is. it reminds me of those onions tiktok webms where they "punch" the camera for being transphobic/misogynist/etc
>bored with finding fucking nothing in PvE>considering giving into that venator calling me like the green goblin mask and just extraction kill a couple folks>can't bring myself to do it.Also: What if aggression queue is real and I'll never get into the PvE hugbox again? Did I get tricked into being good because I believe in hell?
>>546779593They stripped away all of the UE5 "features" like lumen apparently.
>>546779593Unreal engine has two tool sets, Nanite (for modeling) and Lumen (lighting) that are extremely easy to work with, but completely dogshit for performance.Most companies hire bright eyed young devs and tell them to lean on those shitty tools. Then they fire those devs after the game is out because devs with experience are expensive.Embark instead hired qualified and experienced devs, removed Lumen and Nanite (which is the real strength of UE btw, that it's super easy to completely rebuild or replace systems with your own bespoke creations) and used their own custom modeling and lighting tech they've been cooking since The Finals.

>>546779593They dont use default shit features like Lumen and Nanite. Unreal Engine has the same issue that Unity had. >Engine is very easy to use>Lots of tools at devs disposal>Amatuer developers just use default toolset and dont bother optimizing shit because they either dont know how or dont care>Game runs badly>people just assume its the engine that is dogshit, when its dogshit devs putting out slop on the engine
>>546779784It is real, but it's just basic SBMM. Friendly queue is just the absolute bottom 0 elo queue, since friendlies never get kills. Once your kdr rises above 0 you will immediately notice the difference.
>>546779635Everyone who wanted to try it already bought it, 1.0 and steam release are a nothing burger, it's just another wipeI'll give credits where it's due and say it paved the way for ARC success, but I think the game is over and done
Anyone have a medium mag 2 for this anvil BP?Glink#2686
im position 49 in the single promotion and no matter what i do i cant beat a single one of my trial scores, including a big fat zero on the hidden bunker fuckfest. with how much easier it is to do these things in general in a group, i wish they wouldnt also do trials nearly impossible on solo.
>>546781692syke! im now 51 lmao. god i fucking hate these trials half the time but the data one is just a huge fuck you
Man, I don't care if it makes me a fag loser, but give me PvE mode. I'm tired of feeding fucking hullcrackers to crackheads. What's the point when every time I kill some of these fags that attack me, my reward is either a fucking lvl 1 ferro freekit, or another level 2-4 grey tier weapon? They NEVER have anything good, not once have I looted a PvPer and thought: "fucking jackpot", but BOY have I "donated" some class A1+ loot to pvpers, let me tell you. And that's really the main reason I want PvE mode. Not because I'm just salty that I get killed by betrayal and faggotry. I knew that was a possibility when I bought the game. What I didn't know when I bought the game was that the risk/reward would always be so fucking one sided. I thought the way it would be is: If I go in full kitted, I'm gonna fight some PvPguy full kitted, and if I win, boy! He's gonna drop some awesome loot I can use, or if I have no use for it, at least sell.But in reality the Only PvPers worth looting, are the ones that already killed some poor PvEfag, and are trying to extract now.
>>546781895>>546781692Bunker seemed easy to me. What seems impossible to me is finding 4 god damn carriables to carry to an upload place in a night map. I ever found like.. 1 how the fuck do you find 4? Are there even 4 in a map? Do they respawn?
>>546781961Plenty of risk, barely any reward. I don't think a PvE-only mode should be the solution, but something needs to change. People already barely touch ARC shit.
>>546781961>go hunting for big arc>>hmmm people will see my hullcrackers and it will be a hecking wholesome lobby!>stand out in the open yelling on voice chat for people to help>get shot in the back like a retarded faggot because you are a naive trusting bitchHere is how you should be handling the queen>hullcracker in one slot>good pvp weapon in other slot>quick use full of traps>find a building with few entrances>load it up with mines and noisemakers>plink at the queen/matriarch>if ANYONE enters your building you kill them immediately no questions asked
>>546781961Freekit weapons need to be nerfed. The upgraded stats of a Ferro/Kettle/Rattler 4 should stay the same but tier 1 variants should be nuked. Force people to spend resources if they want to rat optimally.
>>546782404>gets shot and killed on his way to the bunker.
>fresh dam match>spawn near waterway extract>already a flare>see the murderer but lose sight>wait a minute>run to tower>scope out the area>one leaper>stuck on zipline roof because snitches and roaming hornets>waste meds and time>kill leaper end of match with <1m left>one pulse unit
>>546776624Your wife begs for my seed every day
>>546781961nerf freekits and buff higher end gear and it will get better, give it time for them to balance as they hopefully try to take advantage of the "people are also friendly in this extraction shooter" situation
Did they say how much the paid decks will cost?If it's 1000 tokens, then we'll get it for free with event + current deck tokens.
>>546781961I am for it too. I am annoyed because I want to do content I wish to do aka Queen/Matriarch but I am prevented from doing it due to kos mongoloids
>>546782982>give it time for them to balancehow much time do these niggas need? they sure were quick as fuck to nerf the wolfpack BP cost but not a single thing on weapon balance. the balance patch better be an entire rework of all shields and gun balancing because for it to be coming up on 3 weeks and no balance is crazy.
>>546783114Don't think they've said yet, but I have a feeling it'll be more than 1000 tokens. I'm still sitting on mine regardless.
>>546783685>the balance patch better be an entire rework of all shields and gun balancing because for it to be coming up on 3 weeks and no balance is crazy.Why bother? Steam alone nearly has half a million players playing right now. Tarkov has like 30k. They don't gotta do shit.
>>546783685its only been 2 weeks since release which is nothing, and the wolfpack is easier to make now not harder
I don't want them to give us an actual PvE mode because that's effectively giving up on the game's balance. Any future problems will just be met with "quit crying just play X mode" and they'll just fester and rot the game from the inside out. They just need to balance the power between free kits and custom ones, but its a tight rope to walk because they don't want it to just descend into full-blown seal clubbing instead.
How high will it go?
>they are unaware>>546778943and everyone else all the way across the map can hear you pop off so they know where you're at
Can you realistically unlock skins by playing or is this game like battlefront where you had to play 500h to unlock something without jewing it out?
>tiny little window you need to scroll through to manage your entire inventorywhat did they mean by this
>>546784162I'm 11 hours in and I've unlocked a couple recolors and three whole outfits. Each outfit also has toggleable accessories which require further leveling/whatever to unlock though, and I've only got a couple of those.I have enough credits for another outfit but am waiting.For what that's all worth.
>>546783976there is nothing to gain from genociding freekits, but even if it would be commonplace, you kind of deserve it because its rock bottom and this game is very casual, all you need to not NEED a freekit for multiple games is 1 extraction. when you give them an identifiable outfit along with their impotence in pvp, people will probably leave them alone, knowing all this.
evens i upgrade to the deluxe version
>>546784664Thanks for supporting the game
>>546784162the first battlepass (deck) right now is free, there is also an ongoing community event (battlepass) that is also free, then there are 2 outfits gotten from the quests, there is a default one (i think) and one that goes along with your character level.
>>546776624Why is she looking at me like a woman who, in a suicidal plot of vengeance, worked her way up the corporate ladder to finally lock eyes with the CEO that had her fiance killed?
>>546777249These are the top five PVP guns>venator>renegade>anvil>bobcat>tempest
>>546782325For PvP? It's pretty much no risk besides time. You can get build a pvp kit with the mats scrappy gives you after a round. If you manage to kill a guy like.. every 5 rounds you come up net positiv for PvP, economy wise. >>546782518Hell even that's gonna be a pain. A ferro level 4 is SO cheap, and it RIPS through players if you can land a headshot. The problem is that even the cheapest shit is always gonna be extremely viable, specially if you're shooting fuckers in the back. If you lurk in a bush or bunker somewhere with a ferro, the other guy didn't see you? First shot is free, now all you need to do, is land a second shield before he finds cover and shield charges and it's a free kill. In tight corner maps like the new one, ferro is not nearly as good, but you can still pump someone over with a kettle decently fast if you run into them. It just costs nothing. And how do you even balance this? Say you do something like: "all white weapons now do 70% (or 90%?) less damage vs shields", problem fucking solved (for me). But what do free-shitters do now? Are they now just total victims for pvpers who craft the cheapest possible kit? And the problem is not gonna be solved, because again: a basic pvp kit is still order of MAGNITUDE more expensive than a PvE kit. >>546783481On one hand, I think I would enjoy a pure co-op pve experience on the other hand like I said: I don't think I would mind as much, if every time I get attacked with a 75k cred kit and defend myself, that the guy I looted also brought something that was worth around 50k+, and not a level 4 ferro and a level 4 Kettle. (or was it a stitcher? I forget which one the shit one was, I'm an anvil/venatorfag)
>Try to be stealthy with no funny buisness>Random guy walk approaching my spot unaware so I have to take him down>Now take forever to find gamesbricked mm its over
>>546784562I don't really know what they can do to freekits to disincentivize people from leaning on them so much. A basic bitch custom kit is SO easy to craft and the resources to do it are so plentiful that you would have to have a truly fantastical string of fuckups to be forced to fall back on a free kit.
>>546785092>For PvP?Nah, sorry. I was agreeing with you. PvE against tougher bots is all risk with barely any reward. Higher tier shit needs to get buffed, or at the very least balanced out so it has some use in PvP too.
>>546784162The two best skins in the game are unlocked just by doing the quests (radio renegade and aviator). The third best, Ryder, is from the free battle pass. It looks cool but it has become the designated "shoot on sight" skin, at least the orange or yellow one. The paid skins are actually dogshit, they all look terrible.
I need 2 more arc surveyor parts for my final workbench upgrade. Where the FUCK are these little goobas
>>546785187they should make medium shields stronger, freekitters should be dissuaded from fighting kitted people, they should still be able to kill them sure, but not as easily as it is atm
they need to add a repeatable quest that gives really good shit for each queen/matriarch kill. That could move some people over to help during the game instead of griefing
>play solo while waiting for other friends to come on later today>be level 4>get sniped 4 raids in a row about 20 steps from my spawn positionI guess I'll just fuck off, then.
>>546785187And you're not even considering the passive chicken loot you can sell. I don't know how anyone could get to the point of being unable to make a trash custom kit with all these safeguards in place.
>>546785448>get sniped 4 raids in a row about 20 steps from my spawn positionProofs or it didn't happen.
>>546784162Well this event gives 500 and its very attainable. The Deck gives 500, that's a thousand already and the game's been out 2 weeks? There's 2 outfits in the deck, and 1 from the event. You could get some alright skins for just under 1k, and the real gucci shit at most 1300, so maybe the first few tier or 2 of a second free deck. It'll take time, but I think that's not terrible. This is all assuming you're ignore the backpack and the accessories, but honestly its not worth wasting tokens for that shit imo.
>>546785187make them as bad as the rattler damage wise. again, the rattler with all ten bullets can still knock out the strongest shields, if every grey gun was at that level, then thatd be perfectly fine. some weapons cant kill in one full spray and that is perfectly okay for the starter gun.
>>546785271
They need to add more white guy faces, three options and one of them being a grandpa is unacceptable. ALSO more female hair styles, real tired of seeing pig tailed bitches, especially the "silver hair" ones. I feel like every autistic retard faggot uses that one.
>>546785254Ah, sorry for missunderstanding your post anon, I see now what you mean. Also something I haven't even considered is that when you are a PvE-fag, and you fight anything larger than a rocketeer or a leaper, you are actually putting yourself in some pretty serious danger. So a PvE guy always has the double risk factor: Risk of dying to the arc, and risk of dying to raiders. Not to mention that PvE ordenance like wolfpacks and the new mines are also quite a bit more expensive than anything you need for PvP. I really don't know how to fix this issue without fundamentally breaking the game.
>>546785871>>546785882>5 seconds apartI FUCKING REST MY CASE. GET THIS SHIT OUTTA HERE WEIRDO LOLWHO THE FUCK TAKES SCREENSHOTS LIKE THEYRE DOING SOME MODELING POSESFOR THEIR FUCKING FEMALE AVATARYOURE A MAN BRO START ACTING LIKE ONE JESUS CHRIST
>>546777249it's the best duelist gun and smokes the more annoying arc too. kinda balanced by not getting a silencer slot though.
Is Arc Raiders good?
>>546785871nice exploding sex slave collar
>>546785187This really is the problem. I can craft level 4 ferros and buy augments & bandages & and a shield from the traders for ever. I can keep dying with them forever. And if I manage to loot just one stacked PvEguy every few matches or so, I'm more than set. You don't even have to craft a basic ferro if you are jonesing for the scrappy mats. you can buy one for 1.4k from the trader, unlimited, You extract any blue item, you got that cost covered. >>546785415Problem: You just made the entire loot augment section basically unplayable. Not great. Slightly more survivability vs carrying more is a choice, protection against being a freekill vs slightly more inventory is not. You will always bring home more loot if you survive than if you had a second safe pocket and 6 more inventory spaces.
On the subject of f*male characters, I got shot in the back by a rat this morning and it was a female avatar, pig tails of course. Put up a good fight, left her with 20 hp according to the recap, but she got me. As I was in downstate:>"damn, i really got shot in the back by a chick">"im a guy bro">"damn, i really got shot in the back by a faggot"I -THINK- he koed me before I could get faggot out, but I'm not sure. Can I be banned for this?
>>546786629i think you're fine, i've dropped nigger-bombs and called people fags heaps in VOIP. Nobody in these generals has any banned stories so far afaik.
>>546786629I called several Venator user niggers and told them to kill themselve and nothing happened, you'll be fine
>>546786798Hope you're right, and hopefully they don't implement the thing they're using in The Finals. Free speech is dope.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyB1kKrNvhU
>all time peak gets broken again????????
>>546786561make freekitters start without a shield, or make medium shield a standard fit for purple augments, and have specialized ones for heavy shieldsfreekitters should also be more distinguishable from people running kits
>>546787059Tarkov fumbled the bag.
>>546787059game is genuinely good man. tarkov being a shitshow also helps a little since everyone was just saying>why not play arc raiders instead of this garbage lol
>>546787059Tarkov really is that bad that it drove players to ARC Raiders
>spawn on stella montis>find a player before even finishing the animation of cocking the gun
>dude jumps me while im looting a supply drop of all things>turn around and get 2 headshots on him with my anvil 1>he was carrying 5 burnt CPUs>i was mostly there to get burnt CPUslol thanks i guess
>>546787205>make freekitters start without a shieldNot a terrible idea, but in my experience the most times a freeshitter gets you is by surprise. Ferro to the back of the head when you need to cross an open area, full mag-dump in a close area, or betraying after saying "don't shoot". This change likely would barely affect the situation at all, not to mention the fact that it's not just free kits, any pvpset is STUPIDLY easy to attain. Like, magnitudes. one medium PvE-kit loadout worth is like what.. 10.. 15x a basic ferro pvp loadout? The numbers just don't add up for the PvEfags.
>hear elevator called in less than 100m away>run in for some pvp>a kid that sounds no older than 12 calls out from a shack, anxiously asking if we can extract togetherit was cute so I had to extract with him and not shoot him after all
there's way too many raiders in stella montis, how the fuck do you extract with so many people running around in such a tiny space>git gud
>>546788303wait until they fix spawning. you kill a guy, the lobby immediately replaces him and spawns him directly behind you in some closet.
Rolling0-4 - extract camp5-9 - blueprint farmdubs - fight queen/matriarch
>>546788505Working as intended, no fix needed
where the fuuuuuuuuuuuck do goddamn level 3 augment blueprints drop!?
>>546788303if you spawn into the lobby at 30mins just sit afk for 10
>>546788739*15spawns dont stop until 15 mins i think
>>546788559>0-4 - extract campDo fags just talk about extract camping online to rage bait? It's been like 40 in game hours since I executed my last extract camper.
>>546788303Be friendly? The extracts can hold more than one person you know.
Do I buy the Torpedo set with my 1500 free tokens? I wish someone would leak upcoming skins so I'd know what to save for.
>>546789037It's extremely fun
Would you let Shredder-chan give you a hug?
>about to extract in Stella Montis>guy comes up asking “you friendly?”>I emote “Greet,” “Don’t shoot” and “team up?”>he says “Alllright…” and starts flinging 4 grenades at me>we fight and he downs me>as he’s executing me, he finds the time to say “didn’t have to do this man, we could’ve been cool but you didn’t say anything”Is this the strategy for pissing people off; pretending they didn't just offer to be friendly and exclaiming that the conflict could've been avoided, despite starting it in the first place?
>>546789719i'm saving up mine, seems like the sensible thing to do
>>546789908people don't trust the emote voices as much anymore, too many betrayals, gotta mic up
Retarded balance discussion aside, they really do need to do something to make getting blueprints more consistent. Also, making key rooms less ass would be nice, but I guess that can wait until they fix the exploits.>>546789037I'm confident at least 75% of it is concern trolling/rage baiting. I do my fair share of PvP and can't recall the last time I ran into an extract camper. I think I can also count the number of times I've been "betrayed" on one hand.
how are you supposed to get the arc bits for the lvl 3 stations as a solo only player? i don’t have the wolfpack blueprint yet so can’t really take down the big bots by myselfYou just meant to run the grenade launcher?
>>546789860who unironically draws this shit?
>>546789908sounds more like a retarded person
Arc Raiders is the WoW of our time
I will never speak on mic because i am embarrassed of my voice, if i get backstabbed because of it so be it
>>546790026haven't you found a bunch of wolfpacks just by looting shit?if you don't have any, blaze grenades and some cover works pretty well
>>546789860>people drawing lewd versions of ARCsBased?
>>546790026you can kill anything with a ferro and enough luck to not get killed in time, or smaller grenadesor maybe just rat around and kill a player who kills onerocketeer drivers can be looted from rocketeer husks during electrified arc husk event
>>546790026A few stacks of any of the bigger nades and an anvil is enough to take down all the grounded ones. Just save a wolfpack or two whenever you need to kill a rocketeer (or a showstopper + a stack of stickies/triggers if you're feeling nice).
>>546790026Take a ferro with a cheap loadout and start shooting at a bastion/bombardier/leaper. Very good chance others will come help and you can stuff the valuable bits up your ass risking nothing. Unless you don't play on a friendly server in which case my condolences. If you need rocketeer parts wait for a husks event and you can find them from the electrified husks.
>>546790168Who's gong to be the JoCo and Spiffworld of our time?
>>546790026>>546790230>>546790339yeah also i forgot you get a bunch of wolfpacks for free from the free raider deck.
>>546789908>>546789981This. Rats almost never use mics, and if they do they're autistic children who can't hide their intentions.
>>546789981The stupid thing is that I am mic'd up, I just used the emotes because they're convenient when you're already in comms on other apps. I guess you're right though, when dealing with some half-brains on this game, you gotta handle them with kid gloves.
>look for ARC streams>shroud>always in trios>talks like an idiotWhat's so special about this faggot again?
Why the fuck does the Leaper kill not count?Do I have to solo one?
>>546790779he doesn't have an entertaining personality, but he is pretty good at shooters

>>546790015With the number of times you see it mentioned online you'd think you'd see one every game. Yet they are absent. I don't know what they're doing but it's very homosexual.The betrayal posts are also pathetic. It's like they're trying to shame people online and all I can think is why did you have your pants down around some dude you met 3 minutes ago. Do they think calling them a no-no word on the internet is going to make it stop? I got "betrayed" one single time, during night raid and we had like 10 people with us and no idea who started it or what happened but it was a clusterfuck. I like to think some fucker accidentally shot another one when they were killing an arc and everyone just panicked lol

>>546791180Breaking through in streaming comes down to taking an enormous amount of pipe and being on the big streamers' good lists. Shit isn't as logical as "being watchable for some reason". There are literally thousands of women sitting on there with 3 viewers at any given moment. Most of those donos and subs are just other streamers trying to get their name to pop up on the screen for 2 seconds. Shit's a full blown MLM scheme. source: streamed on jtv way back in the day, which was kino. Tried streaming on Twitch a few years ago and noped the fuck out once I realized what was going on

>>546793682I hit stella ~30 times in a row and got nothing from sec room in lobby + manufacturing. I even hit the key door in sec ~8 times with the glitch when another solo would be there and at best got a bettina dupe

I had a mic that was on an arm affixed to the desk for a while that had really good quality for about 3 years, but for now I have a Blue Yeti that stands freely on top of the desk.Personally, I don't really like headset mics because of the tendency for the mic to pickup audio from the headphones themselves. Not all headsets do that, but enough have done it to me for me to discount them.tl;dr Blue Yeti if you want a great general-purpose mic, or whatever you can find on Amazon that fits your budget.

>>546798604you can kill a wasp pretty easily with a rattler if you shoot the rotors properly but you will run out of ammo quick, its just a defensive thing basically
>>546798604Did you just start the game? lol how do you not know what the basic weapons are like? Also ferro is great at killing arc. Kettle is ok. Rattler in general is just an abysmal weapon all around unless you upgrade it all the way, at which point it's just decent.

>>546781961>What I didn't know when I bought the game was that the risk/reward would always be so fucking one sided. I thought the way it would be is: If I go in full kitted, I'm gonna fight some PvPguy full kitted, and if I win, boy! He's gonna drop some awesome loot I can use, or if I have no use for it, at least sell.This has literally never been true in any PvP game ever and its hilarious retard players and developers keep falling into this trap. The logical thing in any PvP game where you can lose progress, is minimize progress loss. If you win, you win big, if you lose, you lose small.

Let us keep BPs so I can do the expedition. I'm tired of my stash being maxed out constantly.
>>546800724support arc that shields others around it
>>546800840That's alright, it's based on literally nothing but some fag's dumb brain bullshit.
>>546800273>This has literally never been true in any PvP game everThe point here is: low investment shitass trash shouldn't be able to absolutely nuke somebody who spend a billion credits on his loadout. I fully accept that I take certain chances when I bring my gear into a raid. For sure.But what annoys me here is not the progress loss. It's the fact that when I kill the other guy, he has ZERO progress loss. When he kills me, he has a fat loot day. When I kill him, I get grey bandages. And over time that makes you wonder: "Why the fuck do I even bother?" I'd need to loot a thousand of these fuckers, to dismantle the low tier gear they are using, and be able to craft half of the shit I took into the match.
Is the Bettina actually bad?
>>546801148Yes. Rattler tier bad against players. And for some reason it barely tickles ARC despite being heavy ammo
>>546780286>>546800840it's not true. i have... close to 200 kills and i still get friendly lobbies. you just have to communicate
>>546801148I don't want to say it's bad, because it really is good against ARC, but in PVP I would take a level 3 kettle over a fully kitted Bettina any day of the week.
Felt pretty disinterested in trials after learning squads share XP on kills. 3 people farming wasps/snitches vs just me. Last two attempts to get more than 20k, because I am 15/20 on mine at 66k, I've had someone just shoot me in the back cause you make a massive scene.What is the solo strat here, do several dry runs of like Hairpin+Anvil to aggro and shoot down only snitches. Then do a 2X raid where you wait <10m left and just throw snitch scanners and blast wasps with hullcracker?
Any point keeping extra BPs?
>>546800559?
Alright that's it, uninstalled and left a bad review.Absolutely wild that the game has so many tools but nothing matters because just camp and Stitcher/Venator.
>>546801107>support arc that uwus and sucks your penis to distract you while rocketeers are called into your location

>stella montis>stitcher in slot 1>stitcher in slot 2yeah time to game
>>546801768you have terminal gear fear.
>>546801136NTA but I guess this is the downside of not having a proper gear system. From what I know, in Tarkov your armor is suppose to make a difference in the damage you take. Meanwhile in this game, outfits are just a cosmetic. The only thing that dictates how much damage you take are shields, and medium/heavy shields should tank significantly more damage than they do right now. It doesn't make sense that a freeshitter can easily knock down someone in blues/epics.
>>546801848>get loot >fix inventory >get loot >fix inventory>get loot>shot in head at extract>get loot>fix inventory>get loot >fix inventory Dope game
im enjoying the game, and im going to keep playing... but a balance pass and loadouts cant come soon enough
>>546801838What is the counter to this endgame bros
is my scrappy glitched? it says i dont have enough space to collect but i have more than 6
>>546801136>>546801858It makes perfect sense how it is now. Tarkov is right there, you can go play it and see what its like to have massive gun/armor differences between new players and old ones. Spoiler alert; it sucks. Gear still gives you an advantage in combat. And in terms of 'whats the point', there is none, Arc is barebones with its content if you don't enjoy killing for the sake of it you won't enjoy Arc.

>hear a darkie >start shooting No one I'm ever trusting one of them
>>546802253People who invest more time into the game should have advantage over those who don't. If I'm decked out in blues/epics, I should be tanking damage from people with greys/greens. The game would be far more interesting if people wouldn't mess with you if they knew your gear is better. Just invest the time and then you'd be able to take on them, till then avoid them like ARC.I see no point in using all the blues/epics I've been stashing when the effort to get them far outweighs the advantage they give you. That's why you never see anyone with Bobcats, Tempests etc. outside of streamers.
>>546802845why are there so many? should i turn off crossplay?
>>546802361>couldn't even take his shitLoser
>>546801858People say.>hurr durr, equip a blue shield.But yeah a blue shield gives you the tiniest of edges, but it's not like it changes the dynamic like a level 5wow player attacking a level15 wow player. It makes it that depending on the weapon you will need 1-3 bullets more to die. Hardly something that matters in a PvP situation, not to mention that a majority of "PvEguy gets fucked" happens as some form of ambush or surprise. You have correctly identified the freeshitter problem, but it goes even further: Go craft a level 4 ferro, equip a green augment, some shield stims and some bandages, maybe a gouple of nades. Costs fucking NOTHING, and will blast through anyone, no matter the fucking shield. This unbalance is baked into the game. I don't see how we fix the following:>The game has a huge PvE element>To effectively PvE you need to take very expensive gear. You're not beating the matriarch by just plinging your fucking ferro at it>this game has a huge pvp factor>to effectively pvp, the cheapest possible loadout in this game is perfectly viableNo matter what you do, the PvP element will always be cheaper, because a PvPer, will never be forced to craft hullcrackers and wolfpacks. The problem is the level of PvE in this game. If this game was JUST:>Loot everything in sight and extract it so you have a better chance against playersIt would be no problem. Everyone would be PvP focused all the time. But since it has these literal raid minibosses, that it seemingly takes entire groups to beat, that REQUIRE expensive shit, there's always gonna be an unfair advantage to the PvPer, who has to risk far, far, FAR less when queuing into a match. Like fuck, if you're fancy for pvp you'll craft a tactical mk.2 so that you can fuck off and heal if someone turns it around on you. But other that? What do you need really? You don't need purples to PvP, you don't need much quick use, you don't need shit.
>>546802253>Gear still gives you an advantage in combatlol 2 bullets from a stitcher. every grey gun should be rattler-tier in terms of damage. and the rattler can still knock out a shield alongside bringing you to half health with one ten round burst. thats acceptable and should be the standard for the rest of the grey guns.
The Kettle has such a cool reload animation
>>546802931i do want the difference in loot tiers to be slightly increased; im talking like 10-15%, and/or cheaper crafting costs... but,you should unironically be playing tarkov. it's exactly what you're asking for.the only people hating on it have >2k hours played. it's in the best state its ever been (server issues aside).
>>546801858>>546803042and on top of that: any "fix" that most people come up with here, like "buff shields" etc, all of these? Nothing's stopping a PvP guy from just also equipping a shield and going ham, and being just as hard to kill as you now. Sure, if you force a PvPer to take medium shields, that'll increase his loadout value a bit. But not by much, What does a blue shield cost, vs what does a hullcracker cost? What does a Wolfpack cost? What does that hookshot thing cost?
Blue and pink shields absolutely need a buff to feel like they matter. The movement speed decrease matters and a green shield rat can still easily gank you
>>546803042the tiny difference in solo is exaggerated quite a bit in teams. im not really disagreeing with you, but their balance seems to revolve around teams
Im too scared to go into Stella Montis. The map is too small for the amount of players. There are too many corners and ambush spots.
>>546799348I'm convinced this thing isn't real
>>546803417its worth trying to rat freekit if youre willing to chat your way out of combat. you hit medical or assembly and you've got a lot of good mats or 50k CASHi made >1mil yesterday
>>546803417That map is pure chaos and you have to know it going in. Don't bring good gear.
It's actually wild how many guns this game has, but the best ones are the greys. Heck, even a Rattler can be dangerous when fully upgraded. That's why nobody is using Renegades, Ospreys, Bobcats and so on other than wanting a bit variety. A blue/epic weapon should melt a green shield freeshitter.
>>546803042damage should be really reduced for green and grey guns. lets say 5 shots for a ferro to crack shield, 3 shots for anvil to crack shields.limit freekits to late spawns.no more spawns until at least 10 mins into the raid.thatd fix most of the issues. so if some player wants to craft some cheap gear, he would have to work hard to take down a kitted guy where the kitted guy can turn around and mow him down at any second and send the player with a cheap kit back to freekit hell for a round. so if he wants to kill a guy fast like before, he needs blue guns and if he wants to survive, he needs a blue shield.
>>546803042This basically. Its why I know any amount of time I spend playing is a waste.
Give Freekits their own unique shitty gun that you only get for being on a freekit. Like a bolt action rifle version of the hairpin that is a shitty pipe gun and the bolt gets stuck a lot. You cant upgrade it. When you extract with it you can exchange it for any grey gun like you do with the free augment and lance.
On one hand, solos is entirely decided by who shoots first in 90% of scenarios.On the other hand, I somehow magically am always the one ambushing others, almost never the other way around... Curious. Almost like traveling and looting stealthily is a skill
Why is this considered the KOS outfit? I think it looks neat along with the event outfit.
>>546781961>But in reality the Only PvPers worth looting, are the ones that already killed some poor PvEfag, and are trying to extract now.The pvpers you went to loot are all in squads. That's where the good players are and where the geared pvpers are. The murder hobos you see in solos are just fags looking to stab someone in the back.
>>546804317>looting building>walking or crouch walking only>hear somebody sprinting around and stomping up the stairs>hide>he storms in>shoot him>>WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW FUCKING CAMPER
>>546803805I love the Renegade thougheverbeit. It's an amazing gun and can keep a ratnigger pinned down no problem
>bring up the issue with free kits anywhere else>they act like it's impossible under any circumstances to lose the gear advantage to "starter gear" like a green shield and stitcher/ferroI'm afraid it's going to take a few months for the normalfags to figure things out and become loud enough for the devs to act.
Alright I'm 35 hours in, here's what I've learned:>around blacks (afro/dread hair or black skin) never relax>if it's a cowboy hat or astronaut helmet it's KOS>don't rush it, better to miss the lift and try another one than die with all your good gear>watch those doors when you open them, there are camping trannies everywhere>yes the venator is good, but ferro and renegade are excellent as well, most guns are good if upgraded and have mods
>>546804495I'm doing my part by extract camping with a stitcher. I don't even bother full killing, I just like to see how many downed raiders I can force to sit in the elevator while I gloat over prox chat
>>546804495>this guy is still spamming
>>546804317I think it's similar in trios/dus. When I play with my two frens teamfights are always decided on which team gets the drop on the other unless it's firing from really long distance where shots are tricky to land and enemy has chance to revive safely. Listening is key, wiped an entire squad today with a door ambush before they could even deal any damage to us.
>>546802361>censors username>doesnt talk shit on proximity chat after the attack>doesnt get all the loot in timeFucking puusssssyyyy
>>546804739
>>546804335wearing a gibus is the mark of a soulless individual
>>546802253>It makes perfect sense how it is nowThe meta where you either have to be a freekit or a venator nigger? You think there's zero room for improvement?
>>546804335It's the tough guy outfit with the balaclava, like you just got rasked by your gang boss to ride ans kill a random who wronged him. Every raider wearing this is a rat, no exceptions.

>>546804394Even in groups it doesn't change the core dynamic of:>If you want to PvE you need to bring expensive kit>AND be ready to defend your ass against playersvs>if you plan to PvP you can bring dirt cheap kitPvE is maximum risk, with very varying reward PvP is minimum risk, with extremely high reward.That's why the only way I see this being fixed, is PvE servers. What else are you gonna do?Unless you literally make "arc equipment" that everyone can bring, that only drops if you die to an arc, rather than PvP. Then a PvPfag, would get the same level of reward a PvEfag would get when he kills the PvP-player. That really is the core issue for me. Every PvP guy I killed had shit weapons. maybe every now and then I'd get a venator. Meanwhile I have fed them hundreds of thousands in dropped gear. I'd need to kill 20 pvp players to make up for losing 1 pve kit. That's shit balance.
oh shit i did not expect this, i just wanted an easy way to get rid of my leftover trash on the stash kek, what should i contribute?
>>546805185What's it about, being a pussy? You're not even talking shit when you do it, so what's the point?

Fuck these kids trying to repeat the same mistakes that have been tried and were ass.if any nigger wants to just turn their brain off and get free kills with good gear like this is some kind of MMORPG, I'm fuckin glad they got stitchered by the freekit like the bitch they are.
>>546805385it depends on where you do your loot runs.
Did they ever mention if they will consider adding mixing and matching some outfit cosmetics? Would be cool to at least have helmets accessible to all sets at least.

>>546805185Exactly why I will continue to drop smokes when I extract, and back off the button for a seconds each time. I will never allow a rat to do this.

>>546805309Make arc tougher and strongly attracted to gunfire/flares, making anti-arc a primary concern in any loadout. Also nerf free kits slightly so they're relegated to stealth/scavenging. The shredder is the kind of bot I want to see more of. Make them scary without easy weaknesses.
Needed to go to hydroponics for mushrooms, but we heard gunshots and saw a duo looting, so we killed them. Walked inside and saw the most number of corpses in a room I've ever seen.

Got a level 2 Osprey from one of the lockers within the power rod room, as well as a jolt mine blueprint. I then extracted without issue. Freekittens stay winning uwu :3

>>546804192Freekits have a couple of problems with them. Greys are too strong. They are not limited enough. Even if you nerf greys, there is still the problem of there being absolutely no risk to spamming them because of the way the spawn system works and flares. All you have to do is spawn at 27 mins, run to where you hear the action and wait until a guy is lo
>In the Blue Gate farming hornets for my trial score>run into a bunch of friendly players>Everyone minding their own business and helping out when they see someone fighting>Up on a roof I see a player run in to cover beneath me and one another being chased by a hornet in the distance>I start shooting the hornet to save him and it comes over >At this moment the guy on the ground decides to stand up and shoot me>The hornet thinks it was him that shot it and aggros onto him>kill himThat was a clean kill. Honestly, the hornet attacking him and him standing up to shoot me was almost simultaneous.He might have thought I was baiting the hornet to attack him. Or he thought I didn't notice him and he could attack me while I fought the hornetPretty funny either way.
So something that is critical in this game is fight or flight. When I feel I have the advantage and I got some decent shots in, should I always try and push on them to keep applying pressure? Or fall back and reposition/heal?
>>546806329>wait until a guy is lothe rat got this poster, rip

>>546806389Whenever you get the first few shots in, but if they don't die, always pressure them. Run at them. The ~2 seconds it takes to switch to a shield recharger, use it, and switch back to a gun is enough time in most instances of close-quarter combat to run up on them and finish the job.
>>546806329all they need to do is limit freekits to rattler yadda yadda and slightly upgrade the shield absorb%s, somebody posted shield stats from before launch or something and they were basically perfect, no clue why they changed it. if it can be changed to where a stitcher needs on average 1.5 mag to kill a blue+ the game would work
>>546805948We got greedy and did the same shit the last 5+ people did in that room - checked every body. Nobody came, but I'm willing to bet it was because 1/3rd of the lobby died in that room.

But a rat NIGGER who doesnt hides his identity, who kills as quick as possible to avoid voice confrontation, who hides their steam profile....well, i'd like 5 minutes irl with that nigger. i'd smash all his anime figurines, id steal his computer and give it to the feds (it has 200 tb of kiddie porn), id drop kick him in the face. and he wouldnt do SHIT. because hes a lil dweeb bitch made fag who is afraid of confrontation.

>>546806668Why don't they keep blueprints ? This is bullshit.
>>546807247Agreed, but I'm annoyed by the dark souls ass hitbox they have when attacking.
>>546807247Maybe if they had a taser attack like they did in the tech tests so they could zap faggots that just hide in buildings
>>546806689I would still take issue with greys and greens being way too powerful for their class. Because you would run into the issue of people spamming greys and greys for next to nothing and still being able to mog higher tier guns. No incentive to bring anything rare when theyre hard to replace and in some cases perform worse than some cheap ass stitcher.
I fully upgraded all of my workbenches
>>546804192>>546806689I keep saying: Freekits are not the only problem. It's PvP gear being too cheap in general. They can nerf freekits all they want, what's gonna stop someone from coming in with a level 4 stitcher + lvl 4 ferro combo? That costs nothing. Hands up anyone who can't craft 50 of those.There is just no punishment for dying in PvP AT ALL. You only lose shit as a PvE player. What's your biggest loss as a pvper? Someone sniped YOU after you looted the guy that you sniped? Nothing gained, nothing lost. Every single>nerf free kits this way, nerf free kits that wayIs just gonna make people swap to the next cheapest loadout, and it's gonna be just as horrendous. In my PvP deaths, I have never seen anything more valuable than a venator in the end screen. And even that is rare. Mostly it's ferro's and stitchers.
>>546806897I'll typically down them and then say "Thank you for the loot! It's much better in my hands anyway. Hahahaha" and then knock them out. I've gotten several "FUCK YOU" responses get cut off because my little speech is almost the perfect length of time for the knockout animation to finish.

>>546807695I think you're underestimating the effect it would have on people if they have to have some investment in their kit, rather than just clicking the 'free' button and spawn in with zero care at all if they die. Yeah it's cheap but it's still resources and you still have to spend time setting up that load out.
>>546808350Not him and certainly that would help but I feel like reducing the damage those guns do would go even further to make people reconsider how they approach fights rather than just slamming the find match button because they know they can easily kill with what is essentially a free kit.

>>546809114
>>546809337retard
>>546808350I highly doubt it. Likely buying the gear from the trader and using your resources to upgrade it, might even be faster than loading in and leaving if you get a rattler. And again: if you just loot somebody every 5 or 10 runs, you're likely to come out net positive, because that's how fucking cheap this loadout is (Scrappy is a huge help here, too). Even if you don't find jucy targets, if you just kill a dude who looted a yellow zone and is extracted with a couple blue items. That's more than enough money to buy a bunch of weapons, shields, ammo and augments, that's bandages for you, that's likely shield chargers for you. supplying your own kit. It's still essentially risk free. I'm not in-game right now, but I could give it a quick check what it costs to put together a basic set with a lvl 1 Ferro, or even what it costs to buy a basic set with a lvl 4.

The amount of crying and bitching this genre creates is a thing of beauty. If you want PvE, go play Helldivers. If you want PvP, go play BF6. The WHOLE point of PvPvE is that its a clusterfuck of unknowns. You're just as likely to take down a boss PvE enemy with randoms as you are to get blown the fuck up by a 12 year old with grenades spamming them out of a tower. That's what you're paying for, not knowing what you're getting into.
>>546809114Who wins in the end? Because I can see aggro ARCs coming over.
>>546811002>I hate people who cry>Also, nobody should play this game
>>546810863yeh that's the outflit I put on when I go out intending to pvppve outfit is different for obvious reasons
>>546811002its true
>>546809695Same reason you beep Morse code for SOS you retard. What sense is a flare and Morse code if you're dead.
>>546809503>>546809114Turns out the rats were right all along
>>546811137There is a difference between bitching against the nature of a game, and bitching about people who don't get it. I am doing the latter. >Also, nobody should play this gameEqually valid.
>>5468104355 points + undisclosed "goodies" kekif i dont reset tho my stack is never going away either, at this point im just selling shit or contributing to the expedition to get it out of my wayif i show up to a danger zone with a fully upgraded anvil and AR i know im just gonna get gunned down immediately so whats the point lol
>>546811002The only reason anyone is tackling the boss PvE enemies is for fun. The mats they drop are for weapons that are shit in pvp. Risking a hullcracker already kind of sucks, imagine losing your equalizer to free kit Timmy who walked up behind you shooting the matriarch and downed you before his mom turned the console off to make him do his homework. In a few weeks when the awe of these boss fights wears off no one will want to risk it. Make them rewarding or make PvE more viable instead of taking 20 times the investment of the meta PvP loadout that still handles PvE with ease.
>>546809114We need to fucking neuter grey weapons so bad
Its so cool now stella montis is just faggot ape central now
>>546811002>notice game has a design flaw>point it out>whawha bitching, whawha play [other game]. It's perfectly valid to point out that it's a fucked up system, to put a PvE element in your game, that requires the most expensive, rarest, valuable gear to engage with, while at the same time having a PvP element that requires next to no investment at all, and in some cases can even be done freely. And it's just as valid to brainstorm ideas on how to make this imbalance more balanced. And lastly keep in mind both, that the reason people talk about ways to fix this shit, is because overall they enjoy this game (That's why we're here, and not in Fallout general, talking about how to fix 76), and the fact that you're a faggot.
>>546812070KETTLE ONE KEKfreebies keep raping everyone with 0 consequences lololol
>>546812070>tight CQC map>free load outs can run free >loading in people constantly so its like fucking CoD zombies sometimesIts hilarious how fucking dogshit that map is for anything besides free load loot runs. Fill up and leave
>>546809693Idk how good it is statistically. However, rolling it with a Heavy Shield in Stella or any other CQC environment is basically pic related.I have literally never lost a fight with it. Even vs Anvils/Shotguns, if you just spray into them they will die before they can get a second shot off.
>>546812070it's so silly, I run around the corner into 1 team, fire and retreat, then run into another team, bail and they kill each other and I can run in to loot the aftermath, only to get killed by a third team. no point in using anything other than free kit because you'll find an upgrade within 1 minute
Give me 1 reason why free loadouts should be usable on maps besides Dam Battlegrounds.
>>546811002Literally. The game is only fun because you have to be on your toes, being wary of people. You shouldn't get automatic wins just because of your loadout. Situational awareness and playing smart is 100x more important than having a purple shield.
>>546806329in tarkov theres a cooldown to free loadoutyou can get it down to like 5 minutes or less? I think by farming end game base shit
I have a 100% successful extraction rate when carrying blueprints as a freekitten. uwu :3
>>546812326They are fun? If you want to sweat go play Tarkov.

>>546809114Those fucking blue gate houses are just sadism on the devs part. I don't even know how you're supposed to navigate near them without seal team six-ing every single one. You know those bat houses, they're just wooden blocks built high up in the air and for whatever reason bats see them and think "oh a perfect place to sleep today"? And they're kindof creepy because you never know if there are 100 bats up in the thing or not.Those blue gate houses are that, but for rat fuckers. They can't resist. I like to think that once a true rat plays blue gate and sees those houses, they never play any other map. From that point on they are perpetually in one of two states: in their blue gate rat nest, or seeking their blue gate rat nest.
>>546812326Because then you'd kill dam battleground by flooding it with a swarm of angry monkeysThey just need to nerf freekits in general, even tho I could see the argument from blocking them from Montis
i dont understand trinkets
>>546812643mad because of words

>>546813658>I've never played solo.What! It's literally the best way to play the game, as ironic as that is. Everything up to leapers/bastions are very manageable solo. The biggest risk is getting swarmed because multiple hornets and wasps on you out in the open can make you dead very quick.

>lose my cool renegade 4 to some niggers that spawned behind us mid raid and to some wall nigger at launch tower very cool embark
The meek should fear the strong
>>546815705Hullcrackers are pretty cheap to craft though. Admittedly, the ammo can be a different story with the crafting changes.
>>546816392because you don't deserve to gaze on it, whore
>>546816419No you dont understand. We had to nerf lockers first. That was the most important issue the game faced after launch.

It’s a Ferro… it’s not supposed to do anything better than my.. my preciousess..”>They either run, or keep at it until their shield breaks.

Is the burletta any good?
All I use in this game is a Kettle for humies and a Ferro for robos.
>>546817031Yeah its goods if you can land some headshots. It shoots as fast as you can press m1.
I was in the blue gate with like 5 minutes left and there was a fuckhuge explosion like MOAB sized in the middle of the map. What was that shit?

>>546817726It's off
>>546817751Should have known that stella is KOS. Stella and Buried City are KOS because there is no way to safely position yourself.
>>546803297Is the hookshot even good? I noticed it's range is quite bad
Is there any point in continuing to play if:1) I don't like PvE2) PvP is fun but I can't get blueprint upgrades because I'm not good enough to solo clear all the good loot spots. For example, I saw that reinforced reception has an amazing room, problem is theres always 5 people there
>>546813178its more fun when you go in with a free load and loot a bunch of shit and try and kill someone its all about exp grinding

>>546818051have you considered making use of traps and grenades to pick them off and weaken them? Or perhaps waiting outside the building and choosing one to stalk and kill as they come out?
>>546817142ICBMs targeting the final two extraction points in sequence.
>>546818051I got a silencer 2 blueprint today from a cabinet in the apartments on dam. Blueprints can spawn anywhere. The loot areas marked on the map aren't always the best places to go; in fact sometimes they're pretty shit apart from a locked room.
>>546815213Rats get the cheese baybeeee
Sumsum won
>>546818181>+XX% Max HP perkthis would be BiS and absolutely mandatory
Was I justified in downing this potential rat fuck?>be me>doing the Flickering Threat quest on Dam Battlegrounds >the last part of the quest is right next to an extraction point >there is a guy in the room for the quest >dead body on stairs >asks what im doing and asks if I need help>"no, I'm finished and going to extract" >he says "oh cool" and leaves the room im in and shuts the door behind him >he calls the extract >I throw a smoke inside as I always do for protection >he calls in extract and stops midway and asks me to "come over here real quick">I light him up >tell him he can keep all his stuff but he isn't going to kill me >he says he was just trying to use a Vita Spray on me (I have full health and shields)I mean, this was odd rat like behavior right?https://streamable.com/cydzv5I could've downed him and taken his shit if I wanted
>>546818183I could, that's what a lot of people seem to be doing as well. But it seems really boring>>546818316Yeah but isn't going around opening random containers in hopes of finding bps really inefficient?
>>546818439Hopefully one of the devs are watching and make a hotfix tomorrow for the gear and spawn issues. Stella badly exposes how retarded their balancing is.
>>546817142During the final 10 minutes they start deploying ARC Orbiters who crash into the map. We don't know what they look like or what they do but they seem to be the most deadly of the bunch
Stella is the only map I don't get mad at when I spawn late since its so loot dense its easy to fill up your bag just by wandering about and opening boxes>meanwhile if you spawn 5 minutes late in Buried Shitty you may as well alt+f4
>>546818510Yeah he was 100% going to rape you
>>546818470Every single tree should have a perk that's "BiS and absolutely mandatory"
>>546818510I thought he said>I was going to give you an Ospreymaybe the gun or the blueprint for ithe didn't seem like rat, nor was his reaction to getting downed rat-ilke, didn't scream, didn't get mad, just explained, "hey I was going to do x",but who knows, 50% chance it was manipulation I guess, but he never did shoot so can't be 100% sure either way
>>546818859I should've knocked him out. Why did I show mercy to a rat? He is probably out there doing the same bullshit. I bet he had a flamethrower he was going to use.
>>546818510Next time approach him with your gun trained on him and if he makes any funny moves then light him up.
>>546818510>>546818997nevermind I listened to it again, he did say vita spray, so his reaction was even probably plannedrat for sure, who needs to be healed while literally extracting out
>>546818039It's situational, but it can be crazy fucking good. See a second story window open? Hookshot in. Yeah, the range won't get you into areas a hookshot will, but it's also on a cooldown rather than a consumable. It's really fucking good when you need to get somewhere, fast. Problem is that it's too valuable to keep in your quick use slot, so you create this annoying habit of having to put it in your butt, and pulling it out when needed, completely deleting the ability to make clutch plays in the moment, unless you're the kind of giga chad who's just fine with dropping legendary items left right and center.
Just sold a pistol blueprint for 5k called venator.
should i sell spare shit for coins or start contributing for my final expedition phase? i just upgraded to 200k stash so im starting from broke
>>546819363Well if you're on the last expedition phase might as well finish that first
>>546819363final expedition unless you dont plan on doing it
Alright why the fuck are there two loading screens when you extract/surrender?
The guns in this game feel really good. The Stitcher feels like it wants to jump out of your hands when magdumping ratfucks. All the little noises from the shields bursting and stuff. Very satisfying
>>546819554og DICE devs. If there's one thing they always got right it was audio design
The best thing about free kits is I have no anxiety going into a raid. Unless I get a blueprint, then I'm shitting bricks until I get extracted
(You)! Post your wishlist of your top 5 features/changes you want to see get added to Arc raiders!
>>546818510Don't know what needs to be "justified" here, you downed him and extracted. He lost nothing. Weird behavior but he could have just been a weirdo, or be "nice" lmao. But doesn't matter, because you just put his ass in the carseat and drove home.
>>546819458>>546819463tyty
>>546818902disagreei would only agree if freekits then had no access to perks
I absolutely think you should be able to self revive with an own defib, in solo. It should take a long time and be noisy. Punish fags who can't finish the job.
>>546820102I don't even have that stat because it's at 0
>>546819975>always on mic, otherwise you can't play>killing someone dox's you>
>>5468199755. Some kind of personal stat tracker page where you see your lifetime arc and raider kills, avg K/D/A most damage done in a raid, loot value etc.4. Make Speranza a hub you can walk around in and your room/crafting space customizable3. Make the outfits mixable to a degree, at least letting us wear some helmets and decorations from some outfits on others2. Later addition of a PvE/SP mode when game starts to die down1. Option to respec skill tree points and rework some of the extremely niche nodes so they are more usable
>>546815360What even is that.
>>546803042you've articulated my concerns with pve content in this game very well here. I still havent gotten remotely close to killing anything past a rocketeer or leaper, and im 52 hours in. This is annoying me, i seem to be finding less and less people willing to cooperate and be friendly, or even socialise at ALL in game anymore. Micless niggers who treat it like a third person CoD lobby are cancer, that make pve content impossible to achieve, and they seem to be 50% of the playerbase at this point.
How can you justify going into a lobby with a free kit that has no safe slot? Just make the cheapest green shit possible, a level 1 Stitcher and Ferro, and some cheap bandages and more ammo than a free kit allows. You might as well use up some of that shit in your stash anyways
What is with shit tonight? Every server is just bloodlusting fuckers holy hell. I'm just trying to collect some damn cactus.
hot take: venator shouldn't be nerfed so I can walk around like a confident chad in the open, knowing that any freeshitter will eat lead if they try to shoot me while I'm doing my own thing
anyone got a REAL simple parts farm? im sick of this fucking bottleneck.
>>546821151i have an absolute fuckload of them from winning fights and scrapping guns
>>546821151kill arc
>>546820662probably the anvil splitter, makes it a very narrow shotgun with 4x30% split and even more effective against arc
>>5468199751. nerf freeloadouts to a rattler+hairpin combo only, weaken the light shield and remove the throwables, give 1 shield recharge and 1 bandage2. make matchmaking prioritise grouping the more aggressive and pvp oriented players together3. allow for adding randoms to a party in-game, including up to 2x teams of 3, with the ability to drop out at any time too4. let expeditions not wipe your bp progress (i havent gotten a blueprint at all since they made the drop-rate change, i havent even seen one)5. fix the locked door bug and stop letting shredders damage you through closed, steel doors. At least not without destroying the door itself.
>>546821151Refine them.
>>5468214311 and 5 ok, 234 are retarded
>>546821559why is keeping the rare items i find bad
Naked runs on Stella Montis are awesome survival horror gameplay.
>>546819975better stash/inventory managementweapon/shield balance passguaranteed blueprint unlock progression trackmore arc and more threatening arcbetter character customization options
what is the point of bringing stuff into a raid if all it takes is one stitcherfaggot deciding he doesnt like me to end my and loot my shit
>>546819975>mix & match outfits like in the finalseven just doing the helmets swaps should be simple enough>a hub for players to chill >a simple seamless option to team up with encountered raiders just keep it very restrictive and limited>scrappy can bring you random items every now and then>more varied weather effects outside of major map conditions
>>546821979So he can hoard it and post a screenshot about his epic loot haul
>>546821559how so? they all objectively improve the game and allow for more variety in emergent player behaviour, they also support positive emergent player behaviour.I'm not saying total segregation in regards to matchmaking either, high KOS-school shooter mentality players should still encounter carebears and vice versa, but both groups should trend towards seeing their own kind more.Also bp farming is only possible with 200+hour sweatys who don't know how to play other games, or get a job, im 52 hours in and i only have a handful of useful bps, luckily they're the core gameplay ones, but losing them would mean i'd just be running around, playing with variations of the 4 starter weapons for weeks at this rate if i were to be able to go on an expedition tomorrow.
>>546821291>even more effective against arcI ran it for most of the day after stella dropped, and imo it's noticeably less effective against arc. For instance, I found it was basically unable to one-shot fireballs and shooting rotors off drones was less consistent. It's fun to take it off and put it on depending on the situation though.
>>546821979What else are you going to do with all your shit? You'll run out of inventory space if you just keep hording
>>546821979It's fun.
Is this game fun? Does it require friends?How sweaty/autistic is the playerbase in PvP?
So this is unquestionably the best multi-player game this year, yes?
>>546822634YesNoMixed bag per match, may have hidden matchmaking that decides your fate
>>546822634it's pretty random. some days you'll get nothing but talkative friendlies and some days it's nothing but people completely silent corner peeking with fully upgraded venators killing you before you they can render
>>546820952making a kit takes too long>sell everything>freekit into new matchtakes 2 secondsthey have to make loadouts that craft everything if they want me to do that
>>546822634Insanely NoVery
Make freekits have special freekit only weapons and ammo that suck donkey dick. They can only spawn 18 mins into a raid.Nerf all greys to Rattler levels. Nerf all greens to Torro levels. Nerf Venator. Keep pinks except for bettina the same.I just solved your game.
>>546822702YeahPretty low bar considering we haven't seen a decent multiplayer game in like 15 years
>>546822634YesNoYMMV, but generally not in solos.
>>546822702spy party randomly got updated so there's still a chance
is there a part in expedition where you need simple gun parts? im sitting on all of these and idk if i should be keeping them
>>546823308I hold onto about 50
The flaws of this game boil down to this mentality >>546822757Doing anything but treating this as stealth COD puts you at a disadvantage, because you can't bring anything with you to actually help you, the only thing that matters is getting the drop on the other guy.
>get in a fight with some fag with a venator>i have a rattler and anvil (that i took off of someone) as a freekit>know I won't win this fight, but try anyway>use my shield and bandage, know it's the end for me>recycle my guns, run out and try to kill him with a hammer>predictably, i get downed>laugh into the mic "I RECYCLED MY GUNS. YOU GET NOTHING AHAHAHAHAHA" as I suicide before he can knock me out>get a steam message "you're a psycho"
>>546823308Final phase has you dump most of your inventory
what was his endgamethanks for the free venator, bitch
>stash is loaded with keys>want to do some comfy daytime runs to clear out space>remember door glitching exists>close game
>>546823602rats like to camp the security lockers
>>546823704lmao I totally missed the locker I see it now
what type of shit should i use my plastic/fabric/rubber on to make more room?
>>546820952I'm just a full on ferrofag. Running free kits when you have anything at all in your stash is just retardation and gear fear so crippling you're making worse decisions.Ferro + green shield + loot aug + bandages + shield recharge + some grenades or noise makers whatever the fuck I have laying around my stash + defib. I am the musket shitlord.
>someone being harassed by drones>say hello raider and dont shoot and start killing the drones for him>he murders me anywaysI will not be helping anyone ever again
>>546823628You are far more autistic than me.
>>546816730Kekunderrated
raiders...
>>546824096This is what orbiters do to you
>>5468199751. PvE mode (2x Arc spawns, 2x Arc Aggression, no blueprints)2. Geared Mode (Only accessible at a certain level, no free load outs, must bring something in all major slots)3. Increase higher tier weapon stats (for the more PvP suited weapons), but make them far less common, so its a huge deal to find one and a huge deal to get one off someone 4. Rework stash management, keep the PvE focused ones as they are 5. More Arc, more dangerous Arc mapsBecause the first one stops the whole PvE v PvPvE debate, the second one stops the freemium crying and the other three are just sensible changes.

>>546824659>Gets mad when he gets betrayed in Arc>Doesn't realise its the same irlLmao
>>5468199751. PvE (Get mad, I don't care. The game was intended to be PvE only.)2. Nier/Nikke/Stellar Blade skin collabs3. Humanoid arc that can follow you into buildings4. Bounty/Karma system for people who PvP. Make them actually have drawbacks to killing other players.5. Add a full ping command wheel like Smite and remove voice chat altogether. It does nothing but breed toxicity and act as a vector for chuds to yell slurs and harass women.

>>546821979What's the point of having the stuff at all if you're never going to use it? May as well sell it for coins if it's just going to sit in your stash forever because you can't get over some asshole possibly getting it.
>>546824991Anon wtf point are you trying to make? lol
>Shittid is going crazy over Arc having more players 3 weeks later than launchDo these cucks realise they don't win anything when others get rich?
>>546825016All but 3 are good ideas. 3 will just make the game unplayable if you have no safe spots to be in.
this is my first ever night doing fill squad on and only playing stella and havent died (fully) after 4 games and several team fights, turns out im not as shit as i thought when its not a nigger shooting me in the back while looting while playing soloim literally ripping faces off on a looting mk1 light shield and stitcher/anvil (that i looted from my first kill) combo
>>546821979Geared runs are for squads with friends where everyone is always hostile and you're fighting to actively kill the other squads. I don't really bother with gear in solos because for the most part i don't even fight anyone
>>546825268Who?>>546825375This seems like a complete waste of time then. Why play solo with garbage gear and hoard and never use it?
>>546819975Expeditions are every 4 months instead of 2Raider flare on full death, not downFree kits can't spawn in before 20 minutesSearch bar for finding items, that also works for things to recycle in other things. If I type Wires, I want to see any item that can be recycles into wires even if it requires recycling the thing you just recycled.These are easily things I could see happen. Now I don't expect them to redo the entire fucking stash from 4 columns by tons of rows. Tarkov stash is great, and also the way its designed visually does let you add in containers/cases to store specific shit.
>>546824483I did it from out of los and in cover and he decided to sneak around
TOO MANY PLAYERS IN A MATCH, TOO MANY LATE SPAWNSNUMBA WAN ISSUE
>>546825549I like playing solo to farm crap, then i use the crap when my friends log in. I guess you could go fully kitted solo, but honestly you really should be killing everyone on sight if you do so, simply because you have more to lose.
>>546825016This might legitimately be one of the worst lists I've seen for this game.
>stash full of crafting materials>no fucking blueprints to make what I wantthis fucking sucks
>>546825142i was doing training practice range to see what you meant and was thinking why the fuck cant we hang on ledges?
>>546826067That is like 90% garbage you retard
>>546826401>he doesn't know
>>546821979It not giving you automatic wins doesn't mean it's not giving you an advantage. People on here really haven't seen how hard vertical progression fucks these games and it shows. Right now this game is fun to play, and will continue to be. Shit gear, good gear, no gear, whatever, it's always fun, and that has no reason to change over time. In other games with higher vertical progression (Tarkov, Dark&Darker, The Cycle), there's like a wave of progression after each wipe, and if you fall behind it you're just fucked because everyone who kept up has decidedly better gear and you literally don't stand a chance against them if they have their eyes open. 0 reason to pick the game up if you aren't doing it at a reset. Hence the massive player count spikes at each reset, and their rapid and inevitable fall off between each one. You're either a god or dead on contact. This is also how they're hoping to get away with "optional" wipes. Just about fucking nobody would do it if good gear squashed bad gear with no contest. And nobody would pick the game up after launch if there are perpetually people with god gear running about, squishing bugs.
>>546826475the blueprint grind is fucking atrocious, they will either have to massively increase the bonuses given from expeditions, or remove that aspect of it
>>5468199751. A refund2.3.4.5.
>>5468199751 - ctrl + f function for inventory2 - Quick craft/buy shields/healing items from the inventory screen3 - Free kits always spawn late, this is literally how scavs have always worked in tarkov for a reason. Also have a visual distinction between free kitters and "real" people, you just need to know when you're going against someone who has nothing to lose. Again, Tarkov has always had scavs be visually different from PMCs for a reason4 - Buff supply depots/supply requests/baron husks and other similar small objectives so they're not completely useless past level 55 - Increase footstep sounds for the love of god people make no sound at all in this game unless they're holding shift

>>546826178>why the fuck cant we hang on ledges?yeah thatd be great. and being able to do the ledge moving like in your pic related.
>>546826449I promise you, I know. Everything should be turned into advanced mechanical components, advanced electrical components, mechanical components, and electronics. Hold onto a few stacks of springs, tape, wires, as many medium upgrade kits as possible and maybe 3 stacks of heavy, with light being thrown away. A few stacks of simple gun parts, sensors, and processors, and as many seeds as you can get
>going to miss a 2X promotionWelp done with the trials for good.
>>546820871Even worse: as you find fewer people to help, you'll find more people willing to take the opportunity of you fighting, to just fucking kill you and take your shit.

>>546827079All of the blue shit scraps down into less than if you had a full stack of greens for the most part. You are retarded
Although ratting is annoying I'd much rather have the current balance, than for example, what Tarkov has.AKA if you're a basement dweller neet who plays the game 10 hours a day you can go into a raid with armor that makes you basically fucking invulnerable to anything but equally broken equipment that only other sweat lords will have.Which then in turn means the other 90% of the population has to play like complete fucking rats in order to stand any chance and then everyone quits the game
>>54680797945 in mobility is all you need to know
>>546826475>Just about fucking nobody would do it if good gear squashed bad gear with no contest.Despite everyone bitching about the rattler, it can still give you a fighting chance, especially if you get the drop on somebody. Thats the level the other gray gears should be at. A fighting chance but you can't simply w key and mindlessly spray at your target. Need to play smart. The issue is that the ferro oneshots your shield, the stitcher fucking owns and would be the most used weapon if the venator wasn't so broken. The rare loot has to have an advantage, not a 100% advantage like in Tarkov but a 25% better gun at the very least.

>>546827515Tarkov has always has leg meta, that dude dies to anyone with a shotgun or smg close range who shoots first.Or Heads/Eyes if they don't have a face shield, and most helmet/face shields means no headset to hear.You can run any gun in Tarkov besides some low tier pistols cause every ammo has some actually good rounds or use cases. Like being cheap as fuck to deck out like the PP-19 Vityaz.Or get some good ammo, throw it into a basic bitch SKS with a PSO scope and now you are a threat at range.
>catch rat sneaking up on me>shotgun him in the face>backs up behind a wall and says he is friendly>ok.avi>he heals and tries to kill me when i turn back to the stash i was looting>shotgun him in the face and down him this time>"wtf why did you shoot me? fucking loser i hope you die faggot loser">finish him and extract>mfw waiting for the train to arriveI'll start killing everyone on sight.
What should I spend my 2,400 raider tokens on
>>546821559>>546821431Just increase the blueprint drop rate again, or make using the expedition give you the old (or even better) droprate. It's a fucking joke, I'm finding NADA in blueprints, so I'm not gonna give up my ability to create a half decent loadout, in exchange for 5 god damn skill points that I can only put in something semi useful. Lets face it: if you don't take security breach you need like 50 skill points total, and the rest is "I guess I can take this". Like fuck, If this is the same rate post expedition, my only good weapon is gonna be the daily hullcracker purchase, lmao.You know how much of an upgrade it is to be able to craft a fucking anvil? It's night and day vs pretty much all the ARC you run into. I'm not going fucking back to fiddling with the god damn ferro.
>>546827515Tarkov's classic instant kill with a headshot from the bushes is what really makes that game terrible. At least here there isn't anything that can instantly oneshot you from the other side of the map.
Does anyone else like fucking with other people until they lose it and shoot you instead of playing the game?>tell a friendly about a room with loot and blueprints in it>he charges in blind at full speed>explodes instantly on my mines>revive and heal him and tell him to be careful>he thanks me for saving him>silently follow people around playing the flute>sometimes draw weapon then drop it on the ground
WHERE IS ITWHERE'S THE FLOW CONTROLLER
>>546828046buy an outfit and save the rest for the next deck I guess? Just don't get bundles
>>546828161I find it in the medical area of Stella. Same with the magnetron
>>546776245>ratted 4 matches in a rowKOS time it is forever from hence forth
>>546828283I found five magnetrons
>>546828060>the only thing in this game worth a damn to find are blueprints>people want them dropping even semi-often and we aren't even at week 3
I extracted with someone who tried to kill me earlier in the round. We never knew.spooky shit
>>546828046If you want to be unique, don't buy Torpedo, Boonie or the Cowboy deluxe. Those are easily the most popular
>>546828046wait until they release a cooler skin
>>546828069id love to engage in some sort of roleplay but yesterday no one fuckin says shit, emotes, or just straight up shoots you>>546828161go to the assembly area top of map. found both of them theresome say medical but everyone fuckin bum rushes that area more than assembly
>>546828529I like the Chap outfit for its design and color scheme and despite being one of the cheapest outfits it has a a decent amount of customization compared to others
>>546828517I had the same shit except some random dude I ran into early in the game. We both looted Control Tower in Dam with keys, spent time goofing around, and then both exfil'd with like 2 minutes left.As soon as we saw each other we both went>WELL WELL WELL LOOK WHO IT IS
I don't really like how OP this shit is in PvE.Having 2 braincells to bait a big guy with a teammate or even a fucking lure nade, or a cloak if you're that ass to just... oneshot a "critical"-level threat enemy?Seems entirely detrimental to the entire point of "ARC strong". And this shit is PURCHACEABLE from the explosives nigga, 3 per reset, what the actual fuck!?!?
Vertical grip 3 bp for free if anyone wants it
The dark variant of Stella is fucking scary bro.Me and a friend were hiding in a borderline pitch black room with some cum hungry fools thirsting for our small Asian dicks and empty freekitten inventories for probably 5 minutes before he got killed and I boogied out. Surprised I managed to extract.
>>546828816yes please anon, name?
>>546826067I want to make wolfpacks so bad. They're fun fireworks.
>>546828702any container suggestions? lockers? big square shelve containers? breachable?
>>546828760Itll get nerfed into something you still kill them with 2. Any more than that, its worthless since other grenades don't require to get close and are potent.or people just use hullcracker. I think after the wipe happens, they are going to do some big balancing to make shit not take 3 days to reach "end game".
>>546828702I play complete pacifist and never shoot anyone because the pvp in this game is dog assI'd say about 70% of my games someone murders me without a word over a free loadoutNever played an extraction shooter before but I significantly underestimated the amount of people in this world who want to kill each other on sight for no other reason than its fun to waste their time
>>546828859Post yours or preferably a steam lobby invite link. Mines bugged
>>546828993idk how to do steam lobby link
how long until they do a balance pass and reduce player count by 1/4 (at least), and the spawn in cutoff at like 23 min?
>>546829013Shift tab in game, hit friends at the bottom, click your profile picture and it will open your profile, right click the green "join game" button and then trim off the last set of numbers after the / so others can't see your profile from it
>>546828970>they are going to do some big balancing to make shit not take 3 days to reach "end game".3 days? nigga just craft a stitcher 4 lmao. all the pink guns are shit anyways.
All self-defence PvP kills
>>546829090From the moment I saw how many players can be in a match I've been paranoid as fuck every run
>>546828970I think it would probably be fine if it was actually RARE. Getting 3 every reset for pennies is the big kicker here.The availability is so high that even no-lifers basically never run out of these.
>>546826067>>546826682The only way i found more or less easy to get blueprints is doing the same high loot value building again and again and extracting right after.If i join with less than 20 min on the clock i don't even bother and just surrender
>>546829123did that and I don't see a join game button, just this
>>546829142how do you see this?
>>546826475The problem is that this is a 2 faction game like WoW.>PvEerand>PvPerThese are "loose" factions and you can switch on the fly, pretty much but these are factions. The goal of the PvE faction is to beat the big PvE bosses, to do this, PvE faction players need to bring very expensive gear: Jupiter / Equalizer / Hullcracker / Wolfpacks / deadline mines. If they die, they lose a TON of investment.The goal of the PvP faction is to kill... anyone. To kill anyone, you do not need expensive gear. In fact: you can perfectly well blow someone up with an upgraded white weapon, which costs next to nothing. If a PvPer dies, they lose next to nothing, or even nothing if they spawned with a free kit in the first place. The most expensive PvP build, just uses an upgraded venator. This can not easily be fixed with nerfs or adjust, as definitionally, a PvPer will never need that level of expensive kit to kill a player, who is intentionally very squishy, to keep the game challenging and not a snooze fest. Imagine you're playing WoW, but if you pick horde to do pve, and you die you lose all your shit, if you pick alliance to do PvP and you die, you also lose all your shit, but the free "sorry you lost all your shit" set you get is perfectly fine for PvP, but absolute ass to do PvE.This is the reason people are asking for PvE only servers. They have not yet understood that this is what is happening, but they can FEEL that something is off, related to pvp that they can't articulate, so they go to the nearest solution: "just let us turn PvP off".
>>546829273You have the bug as well, welcome to hellStarkRavingMad#7969
>>546828963very top side near that canal area past that, in the breach lockers and tiny little cabinets and drawers even outside the two story little operating zonea lot of purple shit there too as well
Any other casuals just struggling to upgrade their benches?
>>546829282Codex
>>546828734Yeah same here - also left with about 2 mins remaining. I even shot him at the extraction point because he was hiding and spooked me but he comm'd out he was friendly so I backed off.
>>546829306Increase PvP surviveability (buff shields) so the threat levels are somewhat similar and there is more TTK variance to balance out the purple gear.Also the big issue is the 2.5x headshot modifier, why is it so big?
Getting spawn killed by super aggro pvp teams now...
>>546828984yeah the pvp is just heavily favored for a rat or someone who does shoot firstshields just absolutely do not help at all because all it takes is a ferro shot to the head and you're already less than half health with no shield left
>>546829127Meant for doing quests to get to hullcracker, then upgrade all benches to max. PVP is a whole other can of worms they will never balance well.
stella montis is pretty cool
>>546829440Anon the game tells you what loot zones the mats spawn in and tells you where those zones are on the map. The only hard (for a casual) part is getting the cores.
>>546829742Rusted gear is harder to get than anything else on the benches
>>546828483I mean what do you think a good droprate for blueprints would be? I think in my last 30 hours of playtime I didn't see any. Maybe a fucking light stick duplicate. How's anyone who's not a lifeless nerd like me, enjoy the game when they're just never gonna be able to craft literally anything? Plus it's so fucking random. Imagine you get 1 bp every 40 hours, and you end up getting weapon mod bp for a weapon type you never use. Fuck. I'd rather flood players with BPs than starve them. SPECIALLY if you expect them to reset the game. Why would I reset my Blueprints that now drop so fucking rarely, if the reward doesn't blow my tits straight off?
>>546829836Enjoy your 50th bettina BP.
>quests and bench upgrades reset well I already committed to this expedition before reading the FAQ like a retard but I am not doing this shit ever againHope the cosmetic is good at least...
>>546829795I have never seen one.
>>546829501>Increase PvP surviveability (buff shields)Again: would fix freekits, but the issue goes beyond freekits. Like I said you can craft a level 4 white tier weapon and go HAM in PvP. Which means, the PvPer gets that improved shield too. I have won a few PvP matches, and my opponents gear was always either free shit, or low tier shit. And I don't see the balance issue going away, unless they find a way to make PvPers, invest to a similar level than PvEers.
will give suck 4 tempest bp
>>546829836I'd just swap like half the blueprints to quests over time to make people actually do all the quests. Besides that, I wouldn't change the existing drop rate at all.Probably make actual full guns more common though, add new containers/weapon racks on walls to just grab a gun sometimes. As-is the game is already too easily "solved" once you get even a few blueprints you would use consistently.
>>546829931AND blueprints!
>>546829931make sure you've got a bunch of shit left in your stash when you leave, so you get the max of 5 skillpoints and ??? additional stash slots depending on how many extra slots it is, it may be worth regrinding everythingthe fucking BPs though...
>>546830219The bps are going to be far worse because they will likely have fixed the door bypass glitches
>>546830142why would you make the quests non optional? can you faggots stop trying to ruin every game? you dumbfuck niggers
>>546830104Increasing surviveability/TTK also gives more space for gear balancing. The issue here is that the TTK for most weapons is EXTREMELY FLAT, and a 30-40k investment into a single gun only gives you a 0.2s TTK advantage at most.It's all relative anyways, so nerfing weapons would do the same thing, but considering that would fuck up the breakpoints against ARC, the opposite is easier to do.
Do surveyors spawn at night?Or should I go for it during the day so I can use a hatch key
>>546829914If you had to choose between being flooded with BPs, and between getting one every hundred hour of fucking play like it's a god damn tf2 hat drop, would you really rather starve to death? >>546830142Honestly? For my money I'd say: make the blueprints not rare at all, make them drop like crazy and just make it so that when you discover a blueprint it's a 100% chance to be something you don't have yet, and when you have all you don't get BP drops any more. Or fuck it, make them "blue print snippets", make them stack to 100, make them about as rare as seeds, and once you have 100, you can trade them for a finished blueprint. there problem solved.
>>546830297That should be fixed regardless.>>546830379>an optional BP tied to optional quests If the Anvil blueprint is 40 quests deep, you still don't have to do them. All these discussions are hilarious cause its still just the first 3 weeks, and people already so fucking starved they don't want blueprints to get wiped when those are the only fucking cool things in the game to find. Don't wipe then, +5 skill points and probably 48 extra stash slots isn't going to be real shit anyways
>>546830438day is easy enough, try during hidden bunker or just space port in general. hidden bunker rarely anyone will mess with you
augment loadouts shouldn't drop on death and you cant fuckin refute this
when will the shredders "escape" stella montis and show up on the other maps
>>546829742I’ll do better. Im over thinking it
>>546830565>If you had to choose between being flooded with BPs, and between getting one every hundred hour of fucking play like it's a god damn tf2 hat drop, would you really rather starve to death?Depends on how they will manage expeditions, if the BPs are kept, then a lower droprate is fine, but again getting duplicates sucks fucking ass and there should probably be something like "blueprint fragments" you get from duplicates and you can exchange for some basic bitch stuff, when you'd have to explicitly find blues/purples otherwise.
>>546830662That'd make me having 200 level 3 survivor augments pointless. Are you poor?
They should just sell me a stash upgrade for real money
>get ratted over and over again>decide enough is enough I'm gonna rat>very next game a group of no less than 8 people are teaming...Fuck this game.
freekits are actually bad, the only problem is that there are too many fucking players on a map.
I see guys obsessing over blueprints. So you won’t do the wipe then? I don’t even worry about them cus I’m going to do the wipe. Its in like a month. I just peacefully farm on DB and talk to other raiders.
>>546826632I'm kindof indifferent on this. I think to feel this adamantly, you need to be attached to the idea of getting all of them while also doing expeditions every 2-3 months (or...ever, I guess, if you're only playing an hour a week). For nolifers, this basically isn't a cost for wiping. 2 weeks in I see people saying they've found 60-80% of the BPs no-lifing the game. They're kindof irrelevant to this discussion because they're going to have most or all of the BPs by expedition time every go around. There's no sacrifice. But if they didn't wipe, they'd have every blueprint by the end of month 2 and have literally nothing else to achieve.But these guys are in the top whatever, 20% of time spent in game. Most of us don't play it like a full time job, or won't in the long term. For us, the blueprint wipe is part of the sacrifice you make. And personally, I've just accepted that I might have max 20-30% of the blueprints learned at any point in time. I don't have any BPs I feel like I need. When I find one, fuck yeah, but it's just a bonus. You can't have people crying about stitcher kits killing their gold loadouts, and people crying they don't have x blueprint in the same discussion, yet here we are. Shit isn't necessary. If I get the hair up my ass to have all of them, I will simply stop doing expeditions. If you want to just get all the BPs and everything and not have to worry about it, just ignoring expeditions is right there.
Should I make the shrapnel grenades or the snap grenades
>>546831005Freekits are only bad because there isn't any real gear advantage to bringing in purple shit just to get nuked/abmushed/ratted with no retaliation.
>>546831067The radius on shrapnel is ass.
>>546831028Wipes seem dumb as hell. Give up all your progress for tiny bs.
>>546831005How many per map like 20?
>>546831028Bro did you just mind meld with me while I was writing that long ass shit you delivered in 2 sentences
>>546831067Shrapnels are ass and your springs are better spent elsewhere. Do either snaps or trigger nades.>>546831229I got 17 kills in fucking medbays of stella montis and at least 11 of them were free kits. It's fucking dogshit.
>>546831229i think its 18, but more spawn in. it's ridiculous
>>546831140I get that, but I need the cosmetic so people will know Im OG. I may only do it this one time.
>bring power cell and open door on dam>fucking nothing, like 3 lockers and a grenade case with fuckall in them>bring staff room key and open the door on dam>3 more lockers and a grenade box, again with fucking nothing of value at allwhy do I even bother
>>546831028there's still like a month before the wipe.. there are a few 'essential' bps I'd like right now if I could and wouldn't care for the rest
>>546831442>so people will know Im OG.Sir your pre order paypig armor?
>>546831474sorry all the good loot is in drawers on buried city
>>546831140You say give up progress, I say re-enable progress. At some point there's nothing left to do. But your knowledge of the game will allow you back where you were in no time. Fear of wiping is gear fear on a much larger scale. You'll get all that progress back in a couple weeks but part of the fun is spending it instead of letting it rot in a box at base. The only serious loss are blueprints, but the vast majority of those are non-essential. And the random selection you'll pick up every 2 months shapes your runs in an interesting way.
>>546831474RNG, the power rod room gives top-tier utility and meds as well as blue T2 weapons.The power rod room alone supplies me with enough vita spray for more kits than I can take out.
>>546831257The power of faggotry
>>546831140Yeah, but if you've played these games enough you know once you finally get to the top of the mountain, there's nowhere else to go. You've functionally beat the game. It's not optimal to be on a treadmill, but having infinite content and progression isn't realistic. Same logic behind the prestige system in CoD, and those same "why would I give up my hard earned progress" arguments were being made about it 20 years ago.
>bring nice gear and items>get instantly raped to death by someone with nothing but a rattler and 4 light ammo>lose 30 minutes of gameplay and hours of grinding for another Anvil>bring free loadout>fighting chance is exactly the same as if you brought everything>if you die you lose basically nothing at allIf you use anything but a free loadout you are retarded
The only bps I'd miss are silencer 1/2, healing spray, trigger nade, anvil, and shock mine. The last in particular are really easy to find so I would probably get them back in the first day or two of wipe. I'm sure looting mk 3 survivor is great but I can't get the bp and I refuse to play spawn roulette on blue gate
>>546831495Lol dont have it. I got the discord bag and bobble charm tho. Honeslty it kinda depends on what cosmetic the wipe offers. If its something really gay I might not even bother.
>>546831593never heard of this room; is it usually looted? me need weapon parts + vita spray
>>546831708The wipes need to give you significant boons to be worthwhile. Getting 5 (temporary?) skill points and like 2 upgrades worth of stash space isn't much. Maybe if the skill tree was more impactful. BPs alone are a pain in the ass and are not worth wiping.
>>546831782Poverty loadouts are free with shit from scrappy. Go ahead and keep taking your free loadouts, but the first time you lose a blueprint because you didnt have an ass pocket you will ask why you didnt just make a poverty loadout which is functionally the same but has a safe pocket
>>546831787*last three in particular
is smoke grenade bp from a quest?
>>546831539I ran buried city 10 times yesterdayopening at least 20 drawers/cubcoards/etc per roundI didn't get a single blueprint or purple material/item, so that's a fucking lie >>546831930both the skillpoints and however many stash slots it is are explicitly permanent, read the fucking ingame description anon
what can i do with all this plastic metal and rubber to save space?
>>546831593I got a blaze grenade bp from that door, definitely my favorite. I wish I could hit it at night, but there is always some venator nigger in the area camping the security locker in the same room
>>546831876Looted semi-often, but there are multiple spawns near the power generator rooms where you can just loot it fast and dip in the hatch that's next to the queen spawn.
>>546832021Sell it. All basic shit is super easy to acquire.
>>546831931You will be killed by other players and lose gameplay far more often than you will ever find a blueprint periodYou are preparing to win the lottery while unemployed
Night Raids are getting too comfy friendly,I'm gonna start shooting some niggas
>>546831708Anyone with 100 prestige in CoDs has brain damage anon
>>546831931they need to have a thing wehre you can make actual custom load out saves so you dont have to fucking manually finger fuck your stash for shit each time
>>546832021Electrical components and mechanical components. Maybe make a pile of stitcher 4's with mods
>>546831973The little one, yes
>>546831931ThisYep has happened to me. Had a BP and an extraction camper got it from me. Most of the time I go in with a free loadout I seem to get a kettle. So yeah, prolly wont bother with them.
>>546832134does makin stuff with it and then sellin it offer much? all i know is free loadouts traded for mk1s sell for $500 profit
>>546832014Hey retado Embark hasn't confirmed whether it's permanent or per season read the fucking internet
>>546832014suck my nuts
>friends and I all stroll into stella with heavy shields and torrentsit felt like being the juggernaut in cod
>>546832416having a heavy shield lets you survive an entire TWO more shots from a stitcher
>>546832014>>546832304There is no way its permanent, it specifically say it lasts until the next expedition departs. So for two months you get those bonuses. If you depart again, it stacks up to a point.If you skip an expedition, you lose your benefits.
>>546832136If you want to use that analogy, the entire game is picking up lotto tickets and all the jobs in the world are taken. No matter what you're doing, every drawer you open, every box you loot, that's a lotto ticket. Yet you're still buying them with time without even the expectation to win 5 bucks. Free kits stop making sense very quickly for anything other than mindless pvp or questing.
>>546831229something like that but the retards immediately replace a dead person and in maps like stella, that means someone just spawned behind you with a free kit and will suck up all your inventory.
>>546832495So, semi-worth for no-lifers and absolutely not worth for everyone else.
Whats the perfect poverty loadout?
>>54683122924, and whenever someone dies it will replace them until the 18 minute mark
this fuckin wiki wont tell me what recycles into magnets
>19th with 66771>20th has 65270>21st has 65110>2 hours leftFuck don't make me miss this 2X promo. I am going to try one or two runs to get wasps more XP but otherwise I am fucked
>>546832618shields and stitcher
>>546831930I do agree with this. I mean, the main function of the wipe is to reset progression, but you need the reward to be big enough for people to actually engage with it. Personally, I think the best idea is having a rolling skin track (similar to CoD's prestige emblems) you work up in every time you do an expedition. I don't give a single fuck about anything else, I don't even want hard power upgrades over other players of any caliber, including the skill points (however worthless). But if I get a nifty skin you can't have without doing an expedition for the Nth time, sign me up. But also I'm doing this first expedition because I'm a game designer and think this game is pretty novel and want to see how the experience is. I might be a little masochistic compared to the average player in that regard, if it sucks I want to know it sucks first hand.
>>546832121thanks, i will try that after a little freekit genocide on stella
>>546832665Snap blasts, the green coats (you also get durable cloth) and the industrial magnets. You can also recycle Exodus modules into them if you're desperate.
>>546832332Pretty sure the bonuses stack if you do the expedition multiple times in a row.
>>546832597I feel like stella is just a pvp map. First time I got mercd second time I was able to extract, but I havent been back. Weird place where people only communicated by flashing their light. Its too autistic for me tbqf
>>546832460Better than surviving two less shots from a stitcher
Yep that's me alright can the pvp guys leave so I can hop on the metro
>>546832798it seems to imply that, yeah
>>546832735I prestiged every time and enjoyed my diamond skins and emblems so I agree. I just want a shiny medal that twinjles in the RTX lighting and Ill play all year.
>>54683273581 skillpoints does allow you to do some specific builds for trios focused on the conditioning tree and the DBNO bonuses, but generally yeah, it needs to be worthwhile in some more ways, I don't want to do the expedition every time just to keep my niche build active.Just limit the amount of times you can stack up the skillpoints and the stash space, but don't make it temporary for fucks sake.
is dam battlegrounds research & admin the best for trinket runs or is there a better optionbetter not alternative
>>546833305Nope, the amount of trinkets in those lockers is unmatched afaik.
>>546832304>>546832495>>546832332l2read niggersif it reset every expedition, they would not explicitly state you keep "skill points and stash slots earned from expeditions"
>>546833481They still haven't clarified it you're just using a loose interpretation and hoping you're correct
>>546832826I've done 20-30 solo games there and it's quite friendly still but has certain rules you need to follow. Never spend time alone with 1 other person, move quickly, hide often but only after announcing your presence. You never want to spook anyone but never want them to start weighing their options with you. Unlike other maps the PvP police aren't arc but other players third partying. You always need to assume other players are just around the corner. You can't make distance quickly like above ground. It really jacks up the social game and the loot with it.
