first for qt femraiders
so, when are we getting the new raider deck?
>>550649420after expedition
>>550649109>Is dodge rolling important in pvp?Dodging, and doing things like sliding and rolling in a different direction are both useful in PvP. But at present, in solos, by far the best thing for PvP is shooting first and making sure that the first shot is a headshot.
>>550649420do we know how much they cost? I've not spent any of my good boy coins
>>550649230I thought this was going to transition into one of those grokgooner clips.
>>550650234give the third worlder a few seconds and it will
>>550649230this game has the classic GaaS weirdness where they want to sell you $20 costumes but only let you pick from like 4 faces and hairstyles per gender/race
How much did they nerf the BP droprate? I only did one game today but found an epic stock BP in a trash can.
based summmit1G
>go in during the locked gate event on bluegate>look around for a bobcat bp>no luck, everywhere is looted and when i do get to loot something, it doesnt have the bp>the gate opens, but im far so i by the time i get there everything has been cleaned>run across some guy and we chat a bit>ask him if he happened to find 2 bobcat bps so hed give me one>turns out he has, but only one>asks me what i can offer for it>offer to give him a showstopper bp, but hes already got that>asks if i intend to do the expedition, to which i say no>he then drops me the bp for free>i give him a keycard i found>we both then leave and extractlooks like being friendly and not being a KoS rat is finally starting to pay off
>>550650126We're getting another shitty free deck. They didn't mention anything about a paid one coming out.
Thoughts on Bettina?
>>550651240dogshit
>>550651179This is the way
If I hear someone extracting within the first 5 minutes I am beelining it to them because that means they have good shit
>>550651082>we'll get right on it sir>tell the gooks to ask chatgpt how to fix itlol
>>550651680yeah sure bro I heard pvp I mean ratting is extremely profitable in this game
>>550651680There's so many times when I load in and someone's already extracting.People have gotta be just hitting the buttons as they run past.
>guy points his gun at me as I'm waiting for an elevator>tell him I'm not a threat and show him my back unarmed>just standing there>can see him crouch walking behind some containers with his gun out>he starts shooting at me>get knocked>arc gets him soon after (I didn't even hit him, so he must have been low)>a chungarthian comes out of nowhere>"what happened here?" >this rat tried to kill me>"Is this true?" he asked the rat>uses defualt voice lines>immediately flares him>another guy shows up and asks what happened>we take the elevator down
>>550651832you dont know what words mean niggerbrain
>>550651912I do that, it makes pulls the rats in like bait so I can loot more areas. I don't even trap, just hit the button on the way to another location, bam. You can hear elevators from like 300 meters or some shit, leaves plenty of options for looting while rats thirst for literal nothing burgers
>speed run through buried>hit metro in under 5m>plant a jolt mine down because I found one so why not>guy runs in>flicks his lights at me>he hits the mine>light him up with my shitty frigger rattler>hes obviously still alive>train arrives>we both get on and leave like nothing happenedboys will be boys
>Chungartha run>See a guy shooting a rocketeer >Say "want help?">Australian guy "Yeah mate that'd be great">His proxy chat stays on>I can hear his son in his lap saying "Dont let it kill you daddy">Him and I take out the rocketeer with ferros >His son cheers and says "YOU KILLED IT DADDY!">Congratulate him on the kill and let him take all the loot. >Says "You're a real one, mate" as I walk off.
>>550652436Just a little friendly non lethal gunfight, separates the men from the boys.
>>550651680>load into dam battlegrounds>oh I forgot my heavy ammo>run to water station extract>weird it's already open>run in>see C4 on the terminal>back up and use the outside corner as cover>it explodes>no damage to me>go in>head for terminal>ferro shot fires at me>misses>"BEEEWOOO">hide behind center thing>another ferro shot at me>misses>"BWOOOOOMP">there was a leaper on the other side of the hill he didn't see>and now aggroed as it flies over the extract to the rats location>just let the extract timer run out while watching this guy struggle with a leaper around the boxes while missing with his ferrothese guys are something else, probably read a reddit thread saying if you get a blueprint extract asap, as if anyone playing the game seriously isn't using a green kit or better for the safepocket, guess that's how freekits think
>>550651240Slices through small ARC and acts like a budget hullcracker on the bigguns. I hear it's bad for pvp, but the one time I used it in a Raider he dropped so quick I thought he was already dead. Someone extract camped me with it, and I dropped pretty fast, but ttk/netcode make that hard to assess on the receiving end.
>>550652987Feels like it's got good headshot multiplier, but anything sub IV without attachments blooms like a mother fucker at reasonable fire rates. Decent gun, there are better options for pvp. Good enough for wasps and hornets though, wouldn't bet on it being reliable against rocketeers though, gun eats your heavy ammo fast.
>>550652959what are your plans if they have a safe pocket?>but I don't have a safe pocket
Twitch drops (face paint and trinket on left side, screenshot didn't capture it moving). Looks like shit but might look good on female characters played by the trannies here or something, I dunno.
>>550653263lmao
>>550653253Have you tried stunlocking rocketeers with the Osprey? It is hilariously effective tech.
>solos on dam>10 minutes left, joined at minute 18>just enough time to scavenge apartments>only materials and some valuables>head to extract, immediately get ratted by ferro fucker with stitcher in his back pocket>"before you kill me, I have a blueprint in my safe pocket, it's for the raider flare, I'll give it to you if you revive me">stands there silently spamming the knock out button and canceling>defibs me, spams flashlight>I pull out my Toro iv and two piece him>"my bad dude, it was a miss input">he immediately surrendersAre rat players fucking stupid?
>>550653415I haven't but that does sound fun actually. I don't use osprey often enough. I'm a fan of grappling onto rocketeers and hammering them to death, personally.
I just want my lizard print. I've been using the drift coat since this dumb game came out
>>550649230>>550650234no worries saars,https://files.catbox.moe/rg505s.mp4
>do hidden bunker>take care of 3/4 satellites with a few others>by the time i get to the bunker its completely looted>some dude accuses me of camping the bunker while everyone else did all the work>mfw What exactly is the point of hidden bunker again? Does hitting all of the buttons open up a final looting spot or some shit?
>>550655958yea I don't get it either, I did the whole puzzle once and nothing
>>550655941i look like this
>>550655941ZAM! who the fuck impregnated our local tranny poster?
>>550656202If there's literally nothing after the puzzle then once again Embark has surpassed expectations with their nonsensical design decisions.
>>550655958Yes, it inquires that raiders from multiple parties, solo or not, work together to find 4 keys and open one big loot room, where presumably everyone betrays each other for the loot.Except chungarthans, who will spend the majority of the time in the loot room trading loot with others because the timer is extended on locked gate event. It's genuinely a fun both ways, but I enjoy the social interaction more sometimes.
So im level 66 and want 75 before I have to reset, giving me 3 days. Whats the fastest way to get XP.
>>550656734Husk event on dam if you see it, looting rocketeer husks is an easy 700xp and they are abundant during the event, on top of the loot you find in them. Otherwise, Stella montis free kit kill every raider you fucking see and search bodies for xp. It's not the same, but if you're into that kind of thing, that's how I ground out my 75
>>550653717>are rat players fucking stupid Those who cannot do...
ran into her in the wild bros...fuck shes so cute...
>someone tries to kill me>i kill them faster>they get on their knees and say they are sorry they are an alcoholic and lonely and only feel good about their life when they kill random innocent people in a videogame. they mentioned they just got out of a psychopath ward and this is the only release he has.many such cases
>>550656437Alright that makes more sense I guess, I left regardless cause that fucking dork kept accusing me of shit and after calling him a retard I didn't want to bother sticking around anymore.Ended up dying to the bastion anyway. Not like it matters, I got my 5 milly and am just waiting for Expedition at this point.
>>550649230The tube was not properly pressurized. rip to the trannyposter :(
>Absolutely heem the everliving fuck out of some gamerdad>He tries to get deep with me and says "t-to the victor go the spoils">Call him a cringe retard and knock him out Kek
>>550657213>>550657708Why do you make these posts?
Someone said I look like a prostitute after I killed them :(
>>550657708Didn't you try posting this bait in the last 3 threads? I'm starting to think you're lying. Are you trying to impress people on 4chan of all places? That's kinda sad.
>>550658029you do
>>550657708at least make it more believable like >>550657213
ITT- a lot of based chungus shit
>>550657708kill yourself
is the game shit? why's the thread so slow? slow thread usually means shit game, and I have a $50 steam card and thinking about buying this. shit status?
>Genuinely ice the fuck out of some battledad>He asks me why I did it>Respond that all health, beauty, intelligence, and social grace has been teased from a vast butcher’s yard of unbounded carnage, requiring incalculable eons of massacre to draw forth even the subtlest of advantages. This is not only a matter of the bloody grinding mills of selection, either, but also of the innumerable mutational abominations thrown up by the madness of chance, as it pursues its directionless path to some negligible preservable trait, and then — still further — of the unavowable horrors that ‘fitness’ (or sheer survival) itself predominantly entails. We are a minuscule sample of agonized matter, comprising genetic survival monsters, fished from a cosmic ocean of vile mutants, by a pitiless killing machine of infinite appetite.>He says I gave him some food for thought and surrenders
>>550657708Kinda sad dude ngl. Convert to chung so you can have cool stories and experience the joy of helping someone.
>>550657606anon why would the tube be pressurized?
>>550658513It has balance issues but its worth $40 imo
>>550658513people are grinding to have extra skill points after the wipe, and busy making up convoluted shitposts in the pve vs pvp gameplay war.The game is fun, its more fun when you have a group of friends to play with.
>>550658552I'm going to pressurize your tube
>>550658514Kek

>>550658829Curse vishnu, now.
>>550658514>try to sound smart>words words words>sounds retarded insteadI woulda killed myself too listening to that next level niggery
I'm at 1.1m.Any other good loot runs besides the spot other than near the grandiose appts, then the appts themselves and that one zipline room?I'm going nuts and there's always people there now. I stg since clicking confirm on it I've only been with other raiders doing the same. chungartha but taking all the shit and all us gamer dads are too polite to kill one another like cucks.
>>550658901Gotta hit the mexinoids with "onions gringo, onions gringo!" and "onions mojado, tambien por favor" and say it like a white dude would. Trust me, it either works or doesn't work at all.
Chungus stella feels like cheating
>>550659337my grandpa would talk to the illegals in chicken scratch mexicano so thats where i get the inspiration
>>550659249plaza rosaMy route is climbing the roof to get into the pharmacy, then run across the street to loot those buildings, then just extract.
>>550659249there are 3 days left, everyone is spamming loot runsgrab some adrenaline shots and start looting the immediate nearest building and get out, or start spamming stella runs during the day so you can use a hatch key
>>550659249I'm just crafting a fuck load of magnetic accelerators, stack of 3 worth 16.5k and I can just stack the craft mats playing scav runs without even bringing in a gun. It's not the best option for money, but I'm at 2.2m and I'm trying to break 3m at least, and mathematically with what I got I might be able to.
>>550659249I'm at 5.5mil with 50 hours so take what I say with a grain of salt but my loot run is literally just buried city space travel, loot the bottom floor locker room, run over to the yellow trash can in the room across from that, and then if you want to greed a little more loot the desks on the second floor of research right next door. You almost always spawn close to this location, just take in a looting 2 and adren shots and you can easily get 50-60k in a few minutes consistently and gtfo fast because the extract is right next to you
>>550659401>the word s.o.y is filtered on 4chanThat's actually funny for on several levels
>>550659741jesus fucking christ how new are you
>>550659837A better question is when was the last time I needed to post the word onions on 4chan to see it get filtered. You fucking roody-poo candy-ass newt gingrich
>>550659741
>>550659363You earned your place there
Is Blue Gate bad for dingleberries or am I just unlucky?
>>550656976I ground out exo and money by farming Bastions/Bombarders/Energy clips, but I had a self sustaining Wolfpack blueprint which helped.
Had an epiphany and sold all my keys. None of those loot rooms are better than hitting one loot area on Stella
>>550660054Don't worry anon, I'm living proof that you can still learn new things about the chan even after 17 years
>>550657708you will never walk the halls of chungartha
>>550657606kek
Lets be real vros, this shit is ridiculously overpowered. The game doesn't need a 0 skill expression item that completely invalidates 99% of the ARC. Needs to be at least 2x as expensive and at least half as effective
>>550660308feel like keys should either stack, or sell for $2/3/5k depending on rarity
>550658514>and then everyone clapped
you should just be able to make a keyring, i legit sold all my keys because the loot is rarely worth it and they were hogging stash space
>>550660687Nah, anything that focuses pve is fine. Now the trigger nades, those should be nerfed into the ground. They completely invalidate skill expression in 99% of gunfights, ridiculously overpowered. Needs to be half as big aoe and half as much damage, and double the animation length of equipping and throwing them.
>>550660971>trigger nadesnot far enoughgive them a mandatory 5 second arming time
>>550660957>keys are no longer stored in stash>monkey paw curls>you can only hold 3 at a time in a new special key stash
>>550660687I think it should be legendary and extremely rare and do way more damage with no BP.
I wonder if these will reset with the expedition>>550660687you can just use 2 stacks of trigger nades, but yes it is very conveinent and probably one of the blueprints most people will miss, but it is very common even before the patches, with people posting pictures of having like 11 of them
there are niggers on my chungartawhat the fuck i haven't damaged a single enemy in the last 50 raids, why are there niggers there?also what the fuck is wrong with the captcha IQ test?
>down someone>little timmy rescue raider "we're all in this together guys!" looking ass runs over to try to help>down him toomakes me kek every time
>>550661082Also they can't be thrown more than 5 meters, and weigh more, and reduce stack total to 2 and I'm not joking
>>550661178pvetards are genuinely low iq huh
>>550661138Remember that retard that claimed to have 60 of them? Good times.
>>550661237Is this the new ritual post? Are we going to be forced to see variations of this exact post every thread?
>>550661423It's just weak niggerbait. Ignore the chum.
>>550661423>STOP TALKING ABOUT ACTUALLY DOING STUFF IN GAMEYeah man chungartha schizo circlejerking is way better
is there even a point in doing this if i have already finished the mini battle pass?
On the topic of nades: what the FUCK was embark thinking with these pieces of shit?
RMT chink/indian traders have a vested interest in encouraging PVP btw
>>5506611781 nig every 50 raids is good
>>550660891Just make the loot rooms not shit! Is that so much to ask?
>>550661590It unironically is, thougheverbeitPvP niggers don't talk anyway
>Down rat faggot trying to extract camp>He starts hitting with pvpniggerbabble "BRO HOW LOW WERE YOU DUDE BULLSHIT">Simply respond with "I forgive you">He starts sobbing on mic and apologizes, talks about how he had a bad childhood and never had his father tell him he loves him>Thanks for teaching him a lesson and surrenders
>>550661702They had an opportunity to make it have weak damage but breaks durability of everything equipped to whoever it hits, shields and guns. But it's just a mild inconvenience at best.
>>550661702People would use them more if they ate metal scrap instead of springs.
trigger nades more like nigger nades lol
>>550662047That's actually incredible anon, I'm glad you showed him his wrong doings, and I hope he finds help soon. Good luck on your next raid!
>>550662265I love them for the sole purpose of the seethe they cause tryhard streamers. Listening to Summit absolutely lose his shit and curse Embark for generations to come because his tryhard bullshit can be outdone by trigger nades was so satisfying.
>>550662265He said it. Everyone he said it. It's over. He figured it out. Go home, there's nothing else left to discover in game.
>join stella montis without gear to grab some bloooprints>not a new round <29min>surrender>repeati'm just sending my BLOOOOprints to steam family (i will only use freekits anyways but muh blooprints)
It's shocking how many people don't loot the two toolboxes near the Stella lobby that guaranteed always contain purple mats (one in the second floor hallway connecting to the Atrium, and the other on the lobby side of the big door between Lobby and Atrium which requires a battery). Most runs I pick up between 2 and 4 exodus modules/magnetic accelerators just from hitting these two containers on the way to the exfil
>>550661596You get a really cool snowglobe
I have a little smoke grenade.
>>550662904>sending blueprints to steam familyhow?
Is there a point to shotgun silencers? I feel like using one doesn't really help you in any situation.Also is there a purpose to the burnt out candles or do you just sell them?
Ok so after spending around 60 or so raids in Chungartha, I can report the majority of the population there got there naturally by being absolutely terrified of PVP. They are like little deers. I see one and flash them with my lamp and they dart behind a wall. I went to the roof of an apartment building for a quest and there was a raider there hiding behind a tiny box and a woman;s voice (real not ai) asked me if I was there to kill her. I said no and she ran out and enthusiastically asked me questions about the game. Beautiful people. I think I figured out a way to leave chungartha once I'm ready to play the actual game again without having to shoot any of these fine individuals. Pretty sure I got the MM figured out.
>>550663349The candles appear in your raider room with the other swag.
>>550663480Just kill them from point blank and defib, or down at extract. That's my plan to get outta Chung, hopefully it takes downs into consideration and not just KOs. Pure PVE and 20+ successful raids where I walk around strangers without my guns out has gotten incredibly stale, there's a reason they added pvp desu.
>>550663480Did you see any random rats on your travels? I would have thought there's always a chance for a random wolf getting thrown in the mix.
>>550663296you need 2 computers or a (friend) For this, you make another email account, make a new steam account on that mail, open the account on the same pc as you play, then add your new account to your old account as a friend with the friend number, then you add your new account to the family options on steam, and congratulations, you have another arc raiders game on another steam account, then you log in as both and do a lil trading on any map
>>550664041>You need two computersAh, I assumed already was hoping you had a method that could be done on just one pc
>>550663480soon as the game incentivizes people to shoot eachother then its just going to be a bloodbathif we all just collectively went and shot on first sight, nothing would get done and only the rattiest rattest extract camping third partying fuckin retards will win so theres no escaping itjust fix the fuckin ttk and most people would love to pvp. people are "scared" to do solo pvp because you die so fuckin fast that its pointless to even start
>>550664041I seriously hope they invalidate old blueprints, I'm so tempted to trade myself blueprints and don't want to play the game that wayall they have to do is just make blueprints be like "blueprint season 2" where it doesn't invalidate already learned prints, just ones that haven't been learned
>>550664426>people are "scared" to do solo pvp because you die so fuckin fast that its pointless to even startNot to mention the maps are so fucking crowded even on solos that you're guaranteed to get third, fourth, and fifth partied
>>550663867It's even easier than that. Just load into chung, surrender, then :( a few times to get normalized MM.>>550663931Not a single one. The servers I load into are so fucking quiet its insane. You only hear shots before an arc explodes or a boss arc is being fought. The overwhelming majority of people I encountered were micless, terrified of me, and used the emote wheel to talk. Pretty sure I was at the lowest possible aggression ranking though. I think it's a spectrum and you can be 50/50 chung/hostile as your MM. I'd record a few of my matches so you could see/hear the difference and what chungartha actually looks like but I dont care to set that up>>550664426That's not what's happening. There's a stack of aggression from 0% aggression to 100% aggression and that determines where you are placed. I'm at 0% right now and have been for around two days or so and my games are comically silent. The servers have also lower population with the bulk of the playerbase being sometimes aggressive and sometimes not. It's not a binary heaven or hell, but those extremes do exist. Somewhere there is a server where ONLY the KOSrats go. The 100% aggression server.

Somewhere there is a server where ONLY the KOSrats go. The 100% aggression server.it doesn't take much for a new player to be thrown into a game, do a couple runs on the dam to get the feel for it and be put in chungus servers, and then just start easy pickin peoplethen you will wonder where shit went wrong because you have been a good little boy and this nigger in the default outfit with a kettle 1 will miclessly kill you.
yep, that's a late spawn lmao
>>550665216I'm telling you that hasnt happened to me. I think I'm past where the MM would try to put a new player to figure them out.
>>550665353>hasn't happened to me therefore would never ever ever ever happen to anyone else
>>550665503I'm not denying it happens. I'm saying that out of the 50 or so chungus raids I've done that hasnt happened once so that's my sample size
>>550665608some niggas get brave when they chungus together and feel like they wanna go kill someone. sometimes chungus servers aren't for everyone and they will get bored, they will want to shoot a nigga extracting for no reason.because its just too easy to start blasting stitchers into someone on a computer. its always when someones busy.fuuuuuuuuuckin fix the ttttttttttttttttk
>>550665216>Somewhere there is a server where ONLY the KOSrats go. The 100% aggression server.No sometimes you randomly get put in these even if you're chungusmaxxed. Very rare but I was put in one yesterday.
I can't imagine being so booty blasted you just spend all day writing fake greentexts and posting the same green frogs
>>550665793>getting trolled on the troll website for trolls

>>550665849How is it being trolled when you know it's bullshit? Are you retarded?
Process of a promotional tie-in>see neat outfit from embark>neat.jpg>have to download The Finals and play 3 games to get it>ez pz lemon squeezy>try the game>it's ass>come back thinking less of the company because of it>new outfit is a t shirt saying "i played the finals and all I got is this lousy shirt"I can't stress how bad the finals was lmao. It has the aesthetic appeal of "Mr Beast: The Game" and the gameplay demands you take Adderall to follow. Unmemorable, bland map design where nothing is memorable or stands out so you're just following waypoints through the walls. The guns simultaneously have way too low magazine size and way too high kickback. Spatial sound mixing is ass by default and schizo alarms are blaring on and off all match between announcers>WEE-OOOP>WEE-OOOP>WEE-OOP>BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM>"Ohh Team Wipe! THAT just happened"kill me, can't believe this is the company that made ARC Raiders
>>550666296I like the finalsI can't stress enough how gay you are.
>>550666294Multiple people were replying to those posts genuinely getting angry, I think the key takeaway is that this game just has a low IQ playerbase pvetards and pvpcoons are constantly getting baited by each other
>>550666507If liking The Finals is required to be straight, then I'm worshipping cock for the rest of my life homeslice
>>550666508Yes, and how was *I* being trolled?
>>550666242It's obviously a joke you faceblind autistic dumbass
>rat elevator camping>call it with no hp >check his profile>1 VAC ban on recordkek

>>550664041I'm just trying to figure out the logisticsI guess you invite yourself to a gamequeue for duossuicide the original accountpick up the stuff on the second accountrun to extract
>>550666961I'm shocked they don't just poll everyone's profile and put everyone with a VAC ban only in lobbies with others with VAC bans.I doubt Valve has a policy against it as they can still play just fine until the anticheat catches them.
I can't wait to level 1-75 all over again by doing lightning fast rounds of chungus Stella
Fuck Candle Holders.

>>550667087I do it with a friend, one joins with items + raider hatch key, both with survivor mk3 + medium shield and a weapon and some smokes (just in case), drop all the shit and then grab it with the other account, fuck off to nearest hatch and repeat. [if we want to trade just the most IMPORTANT bp's like bobcat, aphelios, tempest yada yada all the good shit, just 1 item without anything else and asspocket it away then suicide]
>raiders only ever get "knocked out"So erm... what happens to fem raiders after?
>>550667569I do. It's either cleaned out because I spawn on the other side of the map. Or I get spawned in late.

>>550668254I found this and died. still kind of annoyed I used a freekit, but I honestly prefer the ferro for my chungartha lobbies
>>550671040why are you on this website?
I think the game purposefully spawns enemies teams near you (or you near them in the timer is late game) when you have high value items in your inventory. Went in with a hullcracker 4 because I wanted to loot arcs/hunt them. What happens? 2 minutes in ran into 2 different teams and lost all my shit because they pumped me full of lead with the stitcher. It's so dumb
>>550671369I found it in 2008 when I was 20 and I just never left. I honestly find all the anime fags repulsive and the pedophiles worthy of public execution but there's not a whole lot of options when it comes to being able to express yourself freely or saying nigger with impunity.
>>550671674I'm convinced that gearing up must put you in the KOS lobbiesThat or it's cheaters seeing your inventory and thinking>whoa that item is worth 10k>THATS THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING IVE EVER SEEN>I NEED TO KILL HIM AND SELL IT
>>550670995I like being able to surrender if it's late spawn or I just don't want to be bothered going to exfil

>>550672632Skill issue, I routinely go buried shitty with an osprey, sit in plain view on rooftops, and snipe drones all game and nobody even looks at me funny
Well fellers, is it worth it to send the expedition even if my pack isn't worth even a million?
>>550673159the first one is the one that matters for OG status, just do it
Just got ARC and holy fuck people are pussies.Everyone just wants to be friends and runs around freely, I’ve made sooooo many people upset because I start fighting them/killing them. Straight bitches lmao
>>550673269uh oh pvetrannies aren't gonna like this one
It's insane how much more I enjoy this game with Chungartha lobbies. It is the answer to PvE only lobbies
Fellas, I bought the game a few days ago, currently lvl10. can I still hop on this expedition thing, or Im ngmi?
>>550673251Lol this desu
>>550673664It was the reason to play Fallout 76 before the show popularized it and then people slowly stopped talking in the party chat and hoarded all the public events with broken weapons. Minmax and pvping just ruins every game, especially since pvping in this game is the least interesting thing about it.
>>550673159Yes. Skills are fucking pointless, get it for the cosmetic and stash space.
I knocked a guy down in extraction because he shot at me and now I keep getting shot by random peopleI banished myself from Chungartha for the momentary pleasure of blasting someone who annoyed me
>>550668558ok it's actually really complicated and I don't feel like learning how to virtual machine, I'll just continue playing the game legit
>peanut with 9 guitars in his stash just sitting there about to be deleted in 3 days>meanwhile the average player will never be able to get in that fucking room everAll streamers must perish.
>>550675168>paying 50 bucks just to trade yourself a couple of blueprints in this gray-gear meta gamehave some self respect
Loving the Bettina alot more after the buff and being able to not having to worry about using it for PvP in Chungus lobbies
>>550673924ngmi
>>550673924You don't even have maxed stash space yet lmao. See you next expedition bud. Missed out on the very first one.
>>550667637>suddenly murdered by three people killing the ratThe KOSwasp FEARS the CHUNGBee
>>550675335anon was talking about adding a second account to your family plan or whatever for a free second account, but I read something about needing steamguard for both accounts and my second "computer" sucks anyway so I couldn't even get far enough to log in and tryI just hope they keep the blueprint rate up and do something about suiciders/people who loot every single container in the area ONLY looking for blueprints and leaving everything elsebut I guess that's part of the game until they get them all
>>550675671>>550675818Its over... see you bwos in Chungartha....Im open to be a safe pocket for anyone planning to wipe I guess...
>>550673924If you stellamaxx 12 hours a day until the window closes maybe you can get on the expedition to get the 12 slots but you're not getting the skill points
>>550675854Unless they've changed something I'm fairly sure steam won't let you have the same game running on multiple accounts. But maybe that's part of the complicated portion.
>>550676145>If you stellamaxx 12 hours a dayDoes /arg/ have a guide for autistic levels of currency farming?
I still enjoy playing this game. In fact, after the lobby divide I think I am enjoying it more than ever. Run around, fill my pockets, help people out, kill Arc, I am actually playing the game.
>>550676309oh I see, this plan is fucked then unless you buy a second account, and even then you need a second computer, or do the virtual machine stuff, and at that point you're jumping through so many hoops to...have access to wolfpacks for 2 months
>>550676335This is what I've been doing since day 1, felt crazy seeing almost any pvp post, chalked it up to them being on console or EUFelt even crazier when the 5 mil amount was announced, I was at like 4 mil from just playing like that already, and all these pvpfags are less than 1 mil
>spending my cold snap runs waving to people and using my keys, finallyit's a comfy feeling
>>550676335I've started bringing shit into lobbies again now that I can be reasonably confident I wont be shot in the back looting. I bring defibs and wolfpacks to save people from rocketeer Speaking of, the rocketeer needs a competing arc cause as of rn it's the one one that poses a threat
>>550675510>Bettina got a buffFor real?What did they buff? The thing still eats up heavy ammo like a chinaman in a free buffet, its ammo economy isnt very good
>>550676145If you truly nolifed the game, it could be possible with getting chungus MM then running nothing but matriarch and soloing it with deadlines/hullcracker/anvil, then stuffing a looting level 3 with as many mag accelerators and cores as you can That's like potentially 300k/raid. Probably too hard for a level 10 gamer tho
>>550676315I just run straight to the cafeteria and loot everything in the kitchen, then I grab the battery near the cafeteria to loot the kitchen pantry, then I hit the two toolboxes on the way to the lobby metro that always contain purples. I also grab any trash cans that are around. If I spawn near a high value area like medical research or the workshops at the top I'll loot them for a minute or so before going to the kitchen. Sometimes I will also loot the locker room near the cargo bay if it's on the way.Then I vendor everything and start over. I use looting mk 2, light shield, a ferro 1 and a hairpin 1 with 30 heavy ammo and 50 light ammo, two bandages and two shield chargers. This is like 5 minutes and usually nets 40-60kYOu can jump down to the lobby metro by pressing jump again as you vault over the railing, causing you to catch the railing on the other side, then pressing crouch and down to drop onto the ledge below. From there it's a safe drop onto the shipping containers.
>>550677159I thought about it and it's probably more like 6-8 minutes, I think 5 is an exaggeration. But if you spawn close it could be.
>>550676879More damage to Arc and raiders, higher mag size, and takes longer to break.
So, I thought that going on the expedition gave you 5 permanent skill points, and that you could keep wiping and eventually max out your skill trees; but some guy just told me that you lose the extra 5 every wipe whether you do it or not. Does anyone know which is the truth? If it does get wiped, then what's the point? That seemed like the only real pro to wiping.
>>550677547Curious as to the answer for this too, also do you start out with the 5 skill points or so you still have to unlock them?
>>550677547its not clear and people are speaking with confidence without actually knowing
I just had this bug where I couldnt move until I went into the start menu. I couldnt look at my inventory or at what I was looting either. I could hear epic shit being revealed but couldnt see it. Had to surrender and lost my kit.
>>550667471late reply but I have some extras if you need them
Next few days are prime time for ratting duos at raider hatches if you want to get loads of free blueprints
>>550677619>>550677607>>550677547the skill points are permanent. am i getting trolled?
>>550677619That's fucked up that the devs haven't made it clear. I guess I'll find out, since I already signed up. If they expire, this will be my only wipe.

are redditors disingenuous or just fucking retarded?>someone tells them that the stitcher is overpowered to a ridiculous degree>the response(s) is/are always some form of "well actually the bobcat 4 or torrente wins against a stitcher 1 if you're at point blank range and only hit headshots so this is just a skill issue on your part :)">one more reply agreeing with the "stitcher is overpowered" claim, always downvoted

>>550678187>are redditors disingenuous or just fucking retarded?both. a stitcher needs 19 body shots to kill a blue shield, bobcat 22 body shots to kill.a bobcat and stitcher by default carries 20 bullets. theyre simply retarded.
>>550678176Imagine being so bad and playing so consistently you are regularly put into chungus lobbies
>>550678530they also somehow believe that reddit is a right wing echo chamber so yeah i suppose you're right
Completing the expedition feels like the end. Continuing to play after this feels pointless.
>>550678456You will never touch a vagina consensually or have a girl think about you in any manner other than repulsion.
>>550678740bold words from a catnigger
>>550678114This seems to indicate that you're right. Just glanced at what I agreed to.
>>550678729Yeah, unfortunately leveling workbenches and quests and leveling up is gonna be extremely pointless, especially since you can just run low tier gear and compete. I feel like I'll just run raider decks and events when they come out and not play at all when that's done.
>>550670592
>>550678810Bold, but you never said I was wrong.
>>550678114>>550678830my bad I was more speaking on the retards that just spout that nonsense "yea its not permanent" when you have pics relatedbut I probably worded it wrong
>>550673159Im at 1.6 and I pulled the trigger. Hoping to get to 3, but its whatever.
So after a month or two they haven't really done anything?
If I "sign up" for expedition does that mean I reset when the window closes or right now?

>>550682181>pearl jam I think it's a sick joke that Eddie Vedder is the only 90s grunge lead singer still alive.
>>550678176you're brown

>>550683143What language is this
>>550681939Just play Helldivers and Space Marine until the wipe. That's what I'm doing.
>>550683494Russian
>>550676445They REALLY need to make some "essential" blueprint stuff somehow accessible in vendors or whatnot. For example blaze nades, wolfpacks, certain weapons, even if it's on a weekly timer and expensive as fuck. Make getting the blueprints convenient but not absolutely buttfuck you if you never find it/do expeditionsI'm scared now because I can't imagine life without the anvil BP but at least you can buy them at a limited stock and high price
>>550683207sweet
>>550683161Explain in your own words how the PvE or PvP is fun
I like hate watching Peanut get streamsniped
>>550683728>make blueprints reset at expedition>give limited daily access or no access at all to multiple itemsThere are so many design decisions that encourage NOT playing, it's actually unreal. But I guess it doesn't matter if we're playing or not if they're making all their money off game sales and skins I guess.
>>550684704I like seeing stream sniping rats get dropped despite having placement knowledge
>>550684704>gets streamsniped>still takes out 90% of the lobby when they're not trapped in blue gate bunker
>>550683728Personally I'm a proponent of "reverse engineering projects">Take the existing projects system>let a player consume one craftable item to begin a reverse engineering project>generate a multi-stage series of shopping lists for the player>upon completion, they receive that item's BP.>project difficulty can be balanced based on item rarity or on a case by case basis so that the grind is fair>players can make incremental advancements towards getting the item that they want.>Crafting mats like rusted gears and toasters retain value to players long after they're done with their workbenches>finding BPs in the wild is still enjoyable since it lets you skip that grind.
>>550682857If your lucky and the matriarch agros to fucking no wheresville you can kill the bombard there.
>>550683035That hit me the other day.In a different dimension, Layne survives :(
listen i get that its the wild west and all with pvp interactions but can we have more fuckin pve going on at the same time instead of just 20% arc shit going on?
>>550686246PvE will never be a thing in this game until they>nerf friggers and/or buff shields and pinks>make arc parts the crafting items for pinks>buff the small arc by like 200% since they are almost totally avoidableThe game would instantly be 2 tiers better
>>550686246the problem with having to shoe horn in pvp is that they can't make pve too disruptiveimagine if every time you fired a shot at someone you got swarmed with 20 hornets/wasps and every fight became a clusterfuck of endless arc hordes so you spend 90% of the time fending off robots and nobody can ever get anything done
>>550670359>well. If you know then it isn’t obvious that you dohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bx0fSQ9LUI4&pp=ygUZSm9yZGFuIHBldGVyc29uIHBsYXlzIGFyY9IHCQkeAaO1ajebQw%3D%3D
>>550686246They've shot themselves in the foot with how incredibly short the PvP TTK is. PvE battles cannot be intensive without making engaging in PvE tantamount to forfeiting any hope of surviving being ambushed by a player. We can already see that in the queen/matriarch fights. Everything keeps circling back to these points>common weapons, particularly greys, should be MUCH worse at PvP>shields should be much better at protecting from PvP damage>blue and pink shields should be significantly improved over their current nothingburger states.

I on the other hand just buy things I like without much thought. You're an e-celeb obsessed loser. Literally the lowest person on the totem pole if you can even be called a person.
>>550687152Speak for yourself. Friendly chungus lobby’s band together to kill mattiarchs. I’ve made 11 Apheons this week and plan to start handing them out. Clips are 3000 for 10 shots, even the alpheon bp doesn’t let you craft the ammo. It’s a monkeys paw
I actually died to a fucking shredder. From what I can tell, it was trying to hunt down some other player. It instant transmissioned around a corner into me and instantly exploded and there was no cover to get to before it went off again.

>>550687835What the fuck kind of argument are you trying to make.>The PvP balance is fucked if the players are preoccupied with the PvE>BUT WHAT IF THE PLAYERS DON'T PVP WHATSOEVERare you daft?
>>550688158basically his argument is>what if pvp is so easy and accessible that it loses its luster and what if pve is just annoying enough that teaming up and not pvping is the most efficient way to get your rewardswhich is a retarded argument for a game that is mainly focused on the pvp battle royale experience
How is the first person shooter they have higher TTK than the third person extraction game with shields?
>>550688345I really don't want this game to turn into overwatch
>>550658029
>>550688328thats the thing. people chungus it up so they can at least get somewhere even if its a carrot on a stick. the most efficient way is to chungus. the people just going around killing are doing it out of what they feel like is either a necessity to cure boredome, or got nothing else to do regarding any sort of "progression"give me a good fuckin reason to start shooting niggers then ill do it. but right now i got some dingleberries to grab to level up my gay event shit.

got my first returned item message
>>550648802>all quests complete>event donegood bye chungartha. i will celebrate by going into a chungartha lobby and murdering everybody in sight.
Got ratted while carrying 200k of blueprints and barely won
I want to see freekits nerfed into the fucking dirt until they're useless for PvP beyond bragging rights challenge runs. The amount of brazen cold blooded aggression that these niggers exhibit is disgusting. I can count on one hand how often someone with a real kit has attacked me. This nigger is so incompetent that he made his way down to chungartha and I hate that he forced my fucking hand and I'll need to deal with the nigger lobbies for a bit. I only hope that since it was just a down instead of a kill that the matchmaking penalty won't be that severe.
>>550687276>giant nosed egirl gamer celeb cringe
>>550690236those are just noobs thonoobs get put into chungartha lobbies and the first thing they do is play it like tarkov where everyone is out to kill youthey try to kill people with ferros or hairpins and fail miserably at it
i did it, bros. finally, all those guns will be mine!
There really needs to be a queue priority system like Overwatch has. If you backfill an ongoing game, the next time you queue will be guaranteed fresh. Same needs to be done for this shit, I've joined three late games in a row.
>>550690349I don't care if they have 1000 hours or just installed 20 minutes ago. I want the thought of initiating PvP with a welfare kit on level ground to be considered suicide.
>>550690236>killing a noobcongrats?
>>550690236still being a hit away from death from what looks like 2 shots is fuckin insane
>>550690236he had a lot of fun in that fight whereas you are seething because he dared shoot you
It's disheartening that some of this game's biggest problems are things that the devs take great pride in. Namely the lack of gear progression and just how grossly overtuned freekits and greys are. They seem terrified of some gearchad boogeyman walking around like the fucking Terminator and just roflstomping poor innocent little scavs. It's telling that they still don't have a clue since they fucking buffed the rattler instead of bringing the other greys in line with the pre-buff rattler.
>>550691073maybe they just don't want you pvping outside low level gorilla tier nigger lobbies where you can never get anything done and have to kill 25 people just to loot 3 magnets
>>550690730NTA but a rat is a rat
>>550690867I probably should have healed instead of replenished the shield. I honestly don't have that much experience with the PvP in this game since the absolute state of balance is too piss poor. It's why I'm using the comfy hairpin to shoot ARC instead of the venator.
>>550691141>>550691073they didn't think past the playtest where they can test all the weapons with max skill points and attachments with best shieldsthey totally forgot that the "shit" guns aren't actually shit aside from a hairpin and burlettain a vacuum the pvp probably seemed fine to them because they were shooting eachother with hullbreakers with purple shields or something.no fuckin way they really playtested it like a normie who had to farm magnets all fuckin game and crafted stuff and went through the trials of this whole kos people on sight every raid(because nothing would get fuckin done)
>>550691454>they were shooting eachother with hullbreakers with purple shields or something.It would figure that the devs would shoot at each other with hullcrackers. I'm getting flashbacks to that one bile titan/autocannon clip from helldivers.
how do I un-sign up bros
>>550691797does signing up embark with waht you signed up for wise or can you keep workin on it when you signed up? im at 1.9mill but i haven't had the itch to play but i might forget to sign up before it goes
>>550692068You can keep working towards it. I was at 2M when I signed up and I'm at 3M now.
>>550691797You can't. There was a fucking warning the size of the entire screen, did you click through everything like a retard not reading a single letter?
>>550690236>Invite a kos nigger to party>Ask him why he's lurking around shooting everyone on sight especially during a bastion fight>15 year old kid "that's wild bruh. yo thats crazy" then leavesI then realized these brats grew up during covid and are genuinely socially retarded and leaning autistic with government enforced PTSD.
>>550691454Burletta is still alright if you use it like a secondary. It's quick to draw and fire so slapping someone with something heavy and then closing ground and magdumping with the burletta instead of trying for a followup shot is very effective.
>>550659363Aggression MM is just free loot for certain playstyles. Yet people act all offended when you say maybe a literal easy mode shouldn't be a thing in a game where your gear matters.
>>550691797Did you stuff immediately get wiped or something? I want to start but still want to spend all my explosives and give away my guns.
>>550693927nta, the wipe is scheduled on 22nd, you can do whatever the fuck you want with your shit before that, even going as far as losing one of the skillpoints by losing enough money.just be sure to have 5 mil on that date
>>550691289Shields just apply a damage reduction to your damage to health and work with exactly the same amount of effectiveness regardless of how much shield you have. A ferro headshot will do exactly 100 damage if you have no shield so in this case yes you did do it correctly. After a ferro body shot you can still survive a ferro headshot if you have even a single point of shield recharged. After a ferro headshot though you have to recharge your shield and heal otherwise another headshot will kill you.
>>550672184You are most definitely lying, you would not browse here in 08 unless you're some kind of ped. Fuck off newfag
>>550691797no refunds chud
I don't know shit about jack but I've been PvEing only to farm shit for expedition and workstations. It has definately been more friendly but damn some of these players are ass that decide to turn on you, one guy got the jump on me with a Stitcher and didn't even take me out with one clip and he awkwardly threw a grenade at me and missed so I walked to it to take me out just to get it over with and not get bad karma. Some other guy ran away from me ran back as I watched him and he pulled out his Kettle shot horribly and I took him out with my Rattler cause I was done with these pussies. I think the behavior based matchmaking is true so far but damn this is sad as fuck.
>>550673269Enjoy your vacation to Ratkanda
>>550686631Instead they went the other way and made pvp to disruptive. Now anytime you step out of a shadow you fight an endless horde of niggers, and you can't even think about killing ARC. Unless you are in Chungartha, that is.
>>550690140>have reported at least 10 kettle macro'ers>5 wall abusers>and 2 people i assumed were headshot hacking with some sort of lootspy>not a single item returned
>>550695271They're reviewing by hand, but they're paused for their 8 week vacation
I don't own Arc yet but might one day. Is there any way to secure the special Finals 3 games skin for Arc without owning Arc right now? Does it tie to Embark account for the future or do I need to have an Arc in-game account already?
Is there an efficient way to offload wealth to a friend? Keep in mind I'm a blueprintlet so can't make shit like energy cells

>>550648802I'm tired of killing people in solos. I don't even want to kill people in 2s. I'll probably only kos In 3s only because everyone else does it but lately it seems even in 3s no one wants to anymore.

>>550698054Meme name for low aggression lobbies. Apparently it tries to queue you with people who have a similar aggression level. Personally I think it's just a self fulfilling prophecy where everyone thinks acting nice will put them in nice lobbies which in turn makes more nice lobbies.
>>550670779I tried telling people early on there were different kinds of lobbies. Ones like this and full aggro lobby. It was so obvious to me because I'd watch my friends share play.
>>550698054You caught me in a good mood so I'll spoonfeed>game ranks players based on an invisible aggression detecting system>you can modify this invisible stat through in-game behavior and curate the types of people you are matched with >the lowest aggression ranking is referred to as "Chungartha" (Wholesome Chungus + Agartha) because no one shoots anyone and the game becomes PVE + VR Chat open mic lobbyYou can only reach it if you are 100% non-violent for an extended period of time + a few other things you'll have to figure out on your own. It trivializes the game, though, so be warned. There is also, presumably, a MM ranking inverse of chungartha for the most aggressive people where everyone is a never-looting KOS rat cunt, but I don't think anyone here has been there.
>>550698715Which is really hilarious because this is just how societies work irl, yet PVP niggers will still claim they aren't sociopaths and it's just a BiDeOhUaYgO
>>550671674I think it's something like when you have higher level gear you're placed in a lobby or near people who are more aggro than you usually get.Nearly every time i have on more expensive stuff I've been killed before I even get to matriarch or shot in the back.
>>550696320>you caught me in a good mood so
>>550683490You know how Mongol invasion of the west kinda fizzled out after they failed to conquer the Kingdom of Poland despite trouncing it in raids? Yeah they had the Rus under boot and heel, raping their women, popping out half-breed mongoloid babies all over the place. So much for white, huh?
>>550698996didnt mean to quote
>>550698715>Personally I think it's just a self fulfilling prophecy where everyone thinks acting nice will put them in nice lobbies which in turn makes more nice lobbies.My personal experience is the opposite of this. I run into people in chungartha that are terrified of me and think I'm going to shoot them. They have no idea they're in the lowest possible aggression server. If it was just people acting nice, it wouldn't be consistent across all maps and over time. Dickheads that didnt get the memo would be sprinkled in, and at 0% aggression there's none. >>550698996Quoted the wrong person, didn't you retard? How embarrassing. >>550699260Cringe.
>>550698954There's a cheat console that shows you people's locations in the server along with their current backpack value. You're probably getting bumrushed by one of those guys. I'm not sure if the game MMs based on backpack value, and the streamers that take expensive kits into trios matches do find themselves fighting freekits and vice versa. It's not clear.
>>550687276>rat queen spends entire night killing faggots>gets sent into a friendly lobby in stella montis>is able to play the flute the whole matchHURRR DURRR DERPthe hidden karma system works!
where the fuck are mushrooms
>>550699646Everyone is farming them.You are not going to find them.
>>550699646Dam battlegrounds on the pipes from the tunnel out of water treatment control and occasionally on dead trees that are still standing in the swamp. They're hard to find.
>>550699646There's a tree on spaceport that spawns 3-4 at a time. Look it up then naked run + suicide.
>>550699646There's one funky spot for them - Cafeteria in Stella Montis, there are some baskets in the locked room you can open with the big power cells.
>>550699646
>>550666296it is shit, yeah
>>550666296I enjoyed my first match against other noobs, but my second match I got ranked against people using the character that can blink like tracer and I realized who the game was for. I just AFKd and fucked around after that and uninstalled the second it was over. Also they reused a lot of sound effects for arc raiders
One thing I don't get about this game is why does it have a big cash shop when your actual character customization options are like 3 faces and hairstyles if you wan to make a cute girl and about the same if you want to make a cool, normal-aged, guy
>>550679382>R6 SiegeHAHAHAHAHSHHSAHSHASHHASHAHSHSA
>>550666296>Unmemorable, bland map design where nothing is memorable or stands out so you're just following waypoints through the walls.didn't they use AI for the actual map designs or something?
>>550700142the adderall class gets filtered by the big fat fuck using a flamethrower
>>5507002021. Because the game costs like half the cost of a regular game because the studio is relatively small and basically rebooted development halfway through then rushed it out the door2. So they can sell you more faces and hairstyles down the line
>>550678176>everyone wants to be friendsBecause there's basically no benefit to pvping if you care about progression lol Nobody has anything worth looting or items that you want.
Can you craft anything for profit? Or should you always sell your shit? Trying to hit the next mil marker, definitely doable in 2 days if I game hard. Already at 3.3. I know you can do energy clips but I don't have the blueprint
>>550700623Counterpoint (And this is from someone that prefers looting and pve to pvp): There is no progression. Or what progression there is is quite shallow and there isn't a lot to do. Which is why people are getting bored and shooting each other to make more fun
>>550680327DAMN how do I get into the SEXY chungus lobbiesmine are just sausage fest chungi
>>550700708Run Harvesters naked solo until you get one of the blueprints. You get cell recipe as long as you can craft at least one energy weapon. Or shell out for looting Aug, puzzle also drops tons of cells and shit.
>>550700708MOST of the time, selling produces superior profit to recycling. Sometimes it produces an item of equal value. Never more valueCrafting wise, Energy Clips are the sole outlier of crafting for profit
>>550700867Uhhh bro you don't understand nothing about PvP is interesting it's fun to just run the same loot routes over and over again and circlejerk over how nice you are
>>550690236Hes using a ferro and you didnt rush him after he missed? Anon wtf
Reminder friggers run this shit
>>550701540run my cock down your chinese lady's throat
>>550701540it's been a while since I've used a free kit. I forgot how small their inventory is
>>550701280I would prefer the game be pvp, but as it stand now the weapon balance and TTK and ease of freeniggadry have made pvp extremely miserable. Solo pvp is just getting ambushed and mugged. Trios pvp is passable if you treat the game like its COD. Chungus servers are merely a means to an end so I can engage with the other system of the game without being rat-ganked by a stitcher until the devs pull their head out of their ass. However, given their track record so far, I'm sure their response to the balancing problems will be to just terminate chungus servers and force everyone back into stitcher hell.
There's a lot of discussion about Chungartha here, but did anyone really consider whether this mystical land is Heaven or Hell?
>>550701757I've noticed a running trend of people in these threads forgetting that they are in fact digital characters with faces and genders that can be swapped on a dime, and make sexual comments about themWhy is this? Sexual frustration? Is it gooner culture?
>>550701540Where do all you freekit runners get this loot? I swear to god even if I go to the "good" loot spots I never find anything that good. Like maybe I get one or two green items of value and a blue. I'm NEVER finding blueprints, legendaries, multiple attachments, etc. I will check 50 different containers and get mostly greys, crafting mats, and thats it.
>>550702586>forgettingAre you mentally retarded? Why is that what you would assume?he said some frigger shit so I am sexually harassing him via medium of his chinese bitchdumb faggot
>>550702414Either all weapons need to be the same "level"; as in the bobcat should be just as prevelant and useful as a stitcher with no "epic" moniker. Or they need to actually do some real balance and make greys dog shit, greens ok, blues useful, and so on. Yes I get that being a grey only user and going up against a fully kitted purple player might mean you lose just because they have "better" gear. But like, yeah, that's the entire fucking point? Why should I bring 70+K worth of blues and purples only to get rat fucked by some nigger who literally brought ZERO dollars and spawned with a stitcher 1? I genuinely don't think the devs ever asked themselves this question.
>>550703129the devs must have had that happen to them in another game. they also kos and extract camp
I hate this forced chungartha shit. Anyone who is pushing that nonsense fundamentally does not understand PvPvE and should just drop this game. Now to be fair, I'm not saying Embark did it right, the game state is fucking godawful right now. But how fucking boring must you be to find a 100% peaceful lobby where you just loot pixels in a video game, most of which aren't even beneficial to you besides their monetary value, fun at all. The fun of these games comes from the element of PvP. If you want a PvE experience, just go play a real PvE game. Go play monster hunter, even if wilds is shit go play World or Rise. Go play helldivers and space marine. Arc PvE is a joke, as it's meant to be a joke because it's a PvPvE game and they can't make the PvE too mechanically taxing.Anyways, until they fix this shitty balance I'll just play as Embark intended and treat this like a dogshit BR running freekits. When I die enough I'll end up in Chungartha and kill all of you.
>>550703129>going up against a fully kitted purple player might mean you lose just because they have "better" gear. But like, yeah, that's the entire fucking point? Why should I bring 70+K worth of blues and purples only to get rat fucked by some nigger who literally brought ZERO dollars and spawned with a stitcher 1?More and more Arc just proves itself to be the antithesis of extraction games. Soon enough once the gamer dads have had their fill of boring ass robots and a new PvE game comes out, this game is going to drop massively and all that will be left is sweaty pvpers and just like that we're tarkov 2.0.
>>550703518people will invest literal years of their life walking around clicking on ore blobs in runescape while never touching pvpHow do you find people loot grinding difficult to understand?
>>550703518I will continue to be a Chungarthian while you continue to seethe about it
>>550703518>But how fucking boring must you be to find a 100% peaceful lobby where you just loot pixels in a video game, most of which aren't even beneficial to you besides their monetary valueDon't you understand that is the point of the game? The loop of the game is: start with no/little gear, go in, loot, get out, get money, then repeat. The PVE supports the PVP. To PVP you need gear, to get the gear you loot. To use the loot you do PVP, you get better gear from looting high value places/containers/key rooms, you use that gear to defend yourself, get kills, survive. If all you want is PVP, play a different game. You fundamentally don't seem to understand that. You CAN PVP all day every round, but should you? That's the real question. You are playing a specific game with specific playstyles, if you don't want that, why are you playing? Like going to a game of chess and complaining it isn't basketball, it aint the same thing nigga
>>550703518Nice blog post I will continue to be friendly and live in a high trust chungus society Thank you for the concern, but I'm still having plenty of fun, no need to worry about me
>>550703992>start with no/little gearAre you retarded? This isn't a battle royale. The point is to go geared to raise your chances of survival so that you could go into dangerous areas to get more valuable loot. In this game however the most optimal looting strat is to go naked and get shot until you don't.
>>550700867>There is no progression. Or what progression there is is quite shallow and there isn't a lot to do.There's obviously progression for most players. They're looking to upgrade their stations, do quests and get better pve weapons.The nolifers have long burned past all of this doesn't stop it being progression and what most of the playerbase is interested in. PVPing toward this goal would be interesting but instead most of the pvp is either players with free kits killing each other over absolutely no notable loot or players who've done everything just killing people for fun and not even looting.
A friend roped me into playing this with him but this shit's a complete warzone, I have no idea why I read everywhere about how kind everyone is and how solo friendly it is. Tried a few solo rounds, got immediately fucking sniped across buildings or just bumrushed at the extract. A part of it is skill issue, yes but so far, about 10 levels in, I've yet to see this solo friendly atmosphere everyone's shilling, I've been shot on sight in 90% of the cases where someone saw me.
>>550703992>To PVP you need gearNot in Arc Raiders
>>550704219>In this game however the most optimal looting strat is to go naked and get shot until you don't.Not really when it's cheap as shit to make a loadout that can easily farm a normal map.Most people are running them and thus have nothing work taking so the player incentive is to just peacefully farm.If you absolutely needed good gear to farm pve there'd be more reason to fight. Because ARC lacks this players are naturally gravitating towards the chungartha mindset.
Is Chungartha real or is it some sort of Placebo effect
>have 5m credits>feel no purpose to play>pvp sucks ass in solos>pve is boring as shit and meaningless>im not extroverted enough to do funny larp raids on voiceDo I just stop playing for a few days?
>>550704819Assuming you can hit headshots is there even any high-end gear that's BIS for PvP besides having some decent grenades?
>>550696375this >>550696756loot is SO EASY to get in this gameit's like the people complaining>oh so I'm just supposed to save every piece of trash in case it's used for an event? fuck this gamewhen it's like, no, obviously the devs intend for you to farm whatever you need at the time you need it, it's called "playing the game" the only people who have a problem with this are the pvpfags
>>550705063>oh so I'm just supposed to save every piece of trash in case it's used for an event? fuck this game>when it's like, no, obviously the devs intend for you to farm whatever you need at the time you need it, it's called "playing the game" the only people who have a problem with this are the pvpfagstbf I still don't have an empty wine bottletrying to farm one is not interesting or fun event gameplay
I brought out a kitted Bettina last night and it was alot of fun. It isn't as ammo efficiently as an Anvil or Ferro but it shreds Arc faster. I absolutely bodied a Leaper with it. It sounds and looks so damn cool
>>550704969Why do you assume we care about your petty little problems? This isn't LiveJournal. Take your crying elsewhere. Thanks
>>550705056To make the pinks work you need to be an aiming god and have good attachments, it's fucking insane and it's only marginally better. Like a bobcat needs the lightmag3 while stitcher only needs 2. Bobcat with the kinetic converter, mag3, compensator3, and a green grip will beat a stitcher, but you really need to hit every shot which is already hard enough in this game. Technically the handling is better, but the difference is so miniscule and you don't really fight at the ranges where it would matter. Like the Vulcano, it loses to the toro even with good attachments because the vulcano needs someone to be like arms length of you to do any damage and it's recoil pattern is fucking horrible, even with the pink grip.
>>550704805It takes time for your friendly matchmaking to kick inIt goes quicker if you don't shoot at all in solos>duosyou might be fucked, outside of solos PvP is always a chance since people only do fill queue to do pvp
>>550705227NTA but I got extras if you need them, otherwise yea, it seems they want you grinding residential areas for some reason
>>550705771I dunno, I kinda just expected a different experience going in solo. I expect duos to be a shitfest but with all I've read about this game, I expected solos to be a fun pve scavenging trip when instead it's the Vietnam war. Funny enough, the only good solo run I had was when I found a guy like 1 minute in and he got bombed by a roller drone. Followed him to an alley, shot his ass with my free dogshit rattler, got a bunch of blue stuff and extracted then and there. Sheer nigger behavior is the only time I got stuff solo and coincidentally it's the first time I ever shot first. What a dumb game.
>>550704805>playing with irl friendThere's your first problem. Your friends are the random denizens of Chungartha. They're momentary but the memories last a life time. Squads is Ratkanda pvpniggerville
>>550702979You know that the chinese bitch is not real rightYou know it is a man controlling that avatar that you want to have intercourse withAre you ok with knowing this
>>550704470>There's obviously progression for most players. They're looking to upgrade their stations, do quests and get better pve weapons.This is incredibly quick to doIt takes like what, a week or two of gameplay? Thats hardly what I'd consider progressionAnd if it is: Its too small. Because once you've upgraded your stations and got the BPs you want, the loot suddenly stops having any value. You can craft stronger gear to go back in and find better loot, but the loot you're picking up serves zero purpose.
>>550705056>>550705442In reality getting a better gun is absolutely minimal importance because even the grey guns are goodBut getting a better shield, better explosives/utility items and a better augment all have a decent enough impact.People have been brainwashed into thinking that light shield is as competitive at the heavier shields because "Movement speed penality to take 2.5% less damage? Garbage!" when in reality Medium shield blows light out of the water in terms of EHP and Heavy shield is a strong upgrade on medium shield at that.
>>550706536B-but but the STITCHER
>>550706142some people think killing and shooting in the duo/trio queue, affects your matchmaking solowhat most people do is freekit or naked and let the other raiders kill themthen post match, before you exit the post match screen, do that post match survey, and say you hate the pvp, and keep doing that until you run into another guy who is like "friendly"of course since you murdered someone solo you're now weighed in the KOS matchmaking way heavier, pretty sure getting a kill is like instant karma
>>550706229I really don't think you understand whats happening anon.
>>550706229Most people into roleplay rape don't care about the guy behind the screen

>>550706043It's fine looked it up and finally got one.For some fucking reason they're super common in the library even though the game directs you toward residential areas.When I finally got one I got like 5 at once.

>>550707032>oh I hear an arc, I should help my friendly raider friends>help someone else with it by shooting from another direction to give them opprotunity to shoot it in the back bastion/leaper/rocketeer>waiting for like 30 seconds>"ok he can shoot this shit at any time, I'm kind of stuck in this building until he does">2 minutes pass>guy just left the fucking map I guess>hide until it deaggros or kill it if its a leaper>>550707283nice

>>550707635I've seen what must be new players trying to fight it out in the open. they surrender instantly when they get downed
The fact I'm still afraid of Rocketeer after over 100h topside is a testament to how well designed that enemy is
Gotta admit it's pretty funny to balance the long term health of your game around players prestiging and then have a battlepass where loads of the rewards are consumables
>>550708157Sorry we can't have enemies that are smarter/more dangerous than the player in the big 2025, expect anything interesting to be lobotomized for the masses.
>>550706349>the loot you're picking up serves zero purposeI wonder if this issue would fix itself if umm... gear rarities weren't a meme.The only well balanced category that follows rarity progression is, consumables, out of all things, everything else is a sidegrade that costs extra for no reason.
>>550708157Pops at the top of stairs where you can't see them and they are also not making any noise sometimes still scare me, especially if I see dead ones lying around so I think it's safe. But yeah Rocketeers are still something you have to respect. Everything else feels like a joke in comparison.
>>550708157Rocketeer and Shredder are the scariest ARC. Bastion is also scary if you're caught in the open.
Wish we had hot skins like in Marvel Rivals and Fortnite.
>>550709532I wish there were a pink or a different type of blue charger that would give more than 50 shield tbqh, but otherwise yeah. Sadly nades are a different story. Trigger nades are cheap as shit and don't even have much stash value and only stack to 3, but are the best nade while also being a freely acquired blueprint. Fuze is more expensive and less likely to actually kill someone and is more of a positioning tool. Showstoppers are more expensive and also good stash value (full stack is 11k) while sometimes not being enough to kill someone unless they are right in front of you in the open. Blaze grenades are niche for fighting arc, but there is no reason to fight arc in the game and also have good monetary value. Light impact is the second best for pvp and requires no blueprint and is even cheaper than trigger nades, which just proves this point even further.
>>550709805Bastions having amazing sound design. You can hear them from anywhere on the map unloading at a raider >VLLIIIIIINNNKK>BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIt sounds terrifying
>>550709805Shredder is more of an annoyance than fear. It's easy to juke them, but the fact that they follow you for so long and are such a pain in the ass to kill means you have to just leave the area or go to a different elevation. Sucks when you get frigged on, manage to win the fight, and then a shredder comes out of nowhere and decides to just camp the dead body for 5 minutes.
>>550664426>just fix the fuckin ttk and most people would love to pvp. people are "scared" to do solo pvp because you die so fuckin fast that its pointless to even start^THIS.PvP in its current state is just not fair."Shoot first to win, just be a rat."Rats winning without any real effort or some display of skill is just not right.
high ttk is not more skillful pvphigh ttk shooters are always considered casual, baby tier shooters
>>550667801Underrated.
>>550706794>>550706628Sounds homosexual
>>550710127I'm actually surprised that trigger nades aren't made from refined explosives in their current state.But yeah gear progression is fucked.
The Finals keeps crashing when I load up the game ever since yesterday's update. Guess I'm not spending money on that after all.
>when you get into a lobby that doesn't know about the guaranteed accelerator/module containers
>>550712161Thanks for that tip btw. Found one of the lockers last night. Still cant find the other.
>>550712301They aren't lockers
>>550712379I meant toolbox
>>5507125072 are right next to each other in security, then one is in the lobby metro up the escalator then there is a breach door (you can also get a zipline up into that room) but that one is rarely lootable. There may be more. Also check the carts that have magnets on them, they can spawn there too.
>>550712664Thanks anon
>Have almost 5k cred and can't get more>At 4 million stash value>Look around in Shanigger shop>Decide to buy a total of ~200 binocs for creds>Sell them for an easy 130k coinsDo the remaining 800 cred carry over to after expedition, or will it be nulled? Would be good to know.
>>550713769Dude, the excessive cred carries over, you could've finished the next five decks. The 800 is the limit moving forward and yes it stays forever, but they decided to let you keep what you accrued thus far.
>>550668653I unironically love peanut.
>>550714106Ah, thanks for the info. No problem still, I just do feats regularly.
>>550714316
>>550711049What you have to remember is that hardcore shooter fans are idiots.Their opinion on desired metas literally does not matter.
>>550711049tacticool ebin low ttk shooters all suck.all of them.
>>550706536the shields are not strong upgrades in terms of EHP. its at best 4 more stitcher bullets at the high end or one more anvil shot. with how pvp mainly consists of ambushing, that pink wont save you, 4 extra stitcher bullets wont save you when youre already down 90% health and a melee will take you out.
>>550670779posts like these just make me feel sorry for you, you play so little that you dont even have the most common ems blueprint and are shitting and pissing yourself over it while you do nothing but walk around a map and loot boxes for 30 minutes at a time. How hollow is your life?
>>550715685and i double checked again with the damage calculator>2 trigger nades across all shieldsyeah so fuck you for the shields provide SOOOOOO much extra ehp
>no point in playing rn since I'm waiting for the expedition>BF6 sucks ass>The Finals is crashing on launch sometimes since the update>Where Winds Meet another gacha style chinaslopWhat is an anon to play?

>>550716184I play CDDA when there's nothing to play because I'm autistic enough to stomach it, might not be your cup of tea.
Found out real quick that a Bombardier does NOT need his Scanner drones to fire pinpoint accurate shots at you.
>>550716184Arc raiders did an excellent job of reminding me that you can never quit tarkov. I'm having the time of my life. hopefully the swedes making some meaningful changes in a year or two so I can come back and enjoy it again
>>550716607Swedes made that too? Swedes are total /k/fags.
>>550716546I once saw spotters going after a guy for a good chunk of 500m, the rain was explosive that day.

>>550714668>>550714316I watched his stream last night after turning it off Wednesday night when Summit crashed out and they only extracted 1 time in 5 hours, it was actually wholesome chungus to see him play well and get genuinely complimented by the tryhard boomer pros.

>>550710248Shredders have gotten very good at pathfinding. You think you trapped one but it'll appear a minute later in a side door, still red and hunting you
>>550701402I really didn't want to fight him and hoped that I could talk him down. Foolish I know.
>keep hearing people dying on Stella>think it's people fighting over loot>go take a look>it's actually just Shredders killing everyoneNow this is PvE.
>>550711049a higher ttk means i actually get an opportunity to disengage which allows for more skill expression
>>550721269They buffed them too
Chungartha confirmed fake afhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/9IgoUgdhTsc
>>550705056The venator is still the best gun in the game. It's just now some other weapons can outclass it in niche circumstances. Namely the shotguns and torrente at point blank range or the rifles at long range.
>>550722492Explain how I've had like 25 safe raids since learning of Chungartha
>>550722492Cohh is a retarded faggot. They’re never going to come out and explicitly say how the matchmaking works, that quote just reinforces what we’ve already learned from people doing tests with multiple accounts. Hostile actions absolutely get you matched with other hostile players.
>>550685623That's a good idea too, making random trash items relevant way past their quest/workbench requirement or more than "guess I'm selling this for 1K"
>>550722492LETMETALKEVERYWORDLIKETHISANDBASICALLYREPEATWHATEVERYONEKNOWS>>550723124>>550723151he even sums up "idk if there is a system, you just can't UM TECHNICALLY say it's confirmed"like, oh, he's one of those reddit retards that needs to argue and be right about everything
>>550722492We have already confirmed it is true. There is way too many of us experiencing exceptionally friendly lobbies for it to all be just a coincidence or anecdotal. Act like a shithead get treated as such. Bring defibs and hang around others without violence and giving them items/heals, you get matched with like minded players. Simple as
Cucked out of my loot, this can't be happening.
>>550722492>basically the whole playerbase at this point has confirmed friendly and KOS lobbies>UM AKTUALLY YOU CANT USE THE WORD CONRITM THE DEVS DIDNT SAY IT>b-b-but it might be true... just don't use the c-word...
Nearly missed out on the expedition because I didn't play for a week. Damn man I dont want to treat this shit like a job to get all the trial emotes and shit.

>>550722492you guys realize that some people like this just talk out of their ass as they play and dont really think 100% about all the shit they say
>>550723124>>550723151>>550723236>>550723324>>550723529I think it's real too desu, but I don't mind people thinking its not, because I've seen ledditors now saying that people are abusing it.
The shitposting about a karma system has become a real problem.Where are the fact checkers?
>>550724006The only problem here is an AI-using brown tripfag, fren.
idk if the matchmaking being hostility-based is real but I think the playerbase is heading there anyway.I just played solo's on both Buried City and Blue Gate and everyone refused to fight each other, basically just running around collecting stuff while offering their back to other raiders and nobody ever takes the shot.
>just farmed a bunch of Bombadier/Bastion/Leaper/Rocketeer cells for no reason
>>550723778>abusing itKek, for what? One single match where maybe they can gank a lone Chungus for his scraps before being thrown back to his cage in Ratkanda. We had a rat once in Chungartha and literally 7 people went after his ass. Can't imagine that is worth it
>>550724073i don't think that he's going away
>>550724134It's wonderful isn't it? To actually feel safe and be able to explore the map to your hearts content. I will literally waltz into buildings without sneaking and with my gun out (for Arc) and no one bats an eye. They just keep looting or say hi
>>550724183I still laugh at watching Peanut last night>doing solo>still treating it like it's PvP even though everyone is going "hey what the fuck" "I'm friendly" "oh it's peanut, I love your streams">eventually kills a guy in the open while in a friendly lobby>3 guys suddenly show up and murder hmi and save the other guy>he flips out>THESE FUCKING STREAMSNIPING LOSER SITTING IN THEIR BASEMENT ON DISCORD GET A FUCKING JOB>when it was clear to anyone watching they were just cleaning up the rat
So supply drops are worthless?Finally did one for the quest and why the fuck would you risk exposure for that.Someone sprinted towards me during it and I thought they were gonna kill me and steal it until they just ignored it. I can see why now.
>>550724536yea idk, I guess for ammo, and sometimes it has good guns
>>550723124>>550723324>>550723529Not even saying Cohh is right, because he probably isnt, but>/arg/ starts memeing about Chungartha around a a few weeks ago>/arg/ all of a sudden starts experience Chungus lobbies>just happens to be when Cold Snap comes out>Just happens to be when everyone has new quests and objectives>Just happens to be when the Expedition is formally in-game and the large portion of people not using Reddit/Twitter just see the 5mil grind for the first timeYou can cling to your Chungian fantasies, but the reality is that as soon as the Expedition/Event ends we're going to see wholesale murder again. It MIGHT persist for another month depending on how many people actually do the Expedition and will need to do all the quests/benches again
>>550722492Cohh "a 3 million minimum wipe grind would be epic" "actually this sucks why did they do this" Carnage is a fucking retard and you shouldn't listen to him
>>550724309I think it makes the game really dull desu.Maybe they've got the incentives wrong but this feels like has always been how extraction shooters are and that this is just the first playerbase to do the game theory and realise that there's no reason to pvp.Like even myself I'd pvp for fun/dailies but in most games I've got a bunch of some annoying but low value loot like snitch scanners collected by the time I see someone else so I cba to risk it.(Or it's right at the start of the game and pointless because they just have grey gear)
>>550724660meanwhile meconstant friendly lobbies since release, except when the game updates and your Matchmaking Karma is reset to 0
>>550724660The problem with this theory is that streamers don't experience Chungartha in solo besides in instances where they're big enough that players actively seek them out to team up.
I know one you faggots were on space port last night there was this duo in departure who were pvp hunting but they kept trying to ragebait people >Holy shit you raiders suck I play black ops 7 and that’s better >People try getting him but the ragebaiters kill them and then say “ STUPID GO CRY ON REDDIT AND YOUTUBE SHORT COMMENTS LOSER LOL>Even start to ask people to play the finals I was spooked they wiped like 4 duos in one building
>>550724656Mine had a Burletta which is fine but I already have 2 or 3 saved from getting them in other, less risky, ways.
>>550724960Based cod chads wiping lobbies
>>550724820people collectively realized to get anything "done" in the game, they all play fair.you die too fast. if everyone was kos then we would all just be wasting eachothers time. the loot is so pointless and easy to get anyway.then we get bored retards just going around taking advantage of this by killing people. tahts why people consider them psychopathsthe skill in pvp is just "shoot first" while everyone has their pants down tryin to fill the meter progression. its pointless and also abuseable.give us good incentives to shoot people that also doesn't allow people to flop over from 20 bullets or less from a stitcher. the most unfun implementation of pvp in a game ever said with how fuckin unbalanced it is. a third person shooter with slow clunky movement and deliberate drawn out actions with a ttk this low is so fucking stupid.
>>550724820>this is just the first playerbase to do the game theory and realise that there's no reason to pvp.it's just because this game has no gameplay loop or reason to do anything but grind moneyGear doesn't matter, so nobody brings gear. Nobody needs or wants to fight for your stitcher or kettle.
>>550724309Yes I like exploring too and its amazing. I would pay for private servers like Fallout 1st. Even if it meant no loot or xp. I want to learn everything about the maps
>>550724523I want to let you in on a secret: Peanut is putting on a show. He knows that the others players were just cleaning up a rat (him). He knows that they weren't stream sniping him. He wants you to make posts like yours because it helps drive engagement. He's deliberately making poor choices in PvP to fumble his expedition 5M grind so that he can milk it as long as he can. He's going to barely push across that 5M mark on the final day.
>>550724960Kek why specifically YouTube shorts?
>>550724769The fact that it was originally set for 3 mil makes it so fucking obvious that they hang on this fucktard's every word, as if the trapped rooms weren't enough. I wonder what their reaction was when they saw his follow up video.
>>550724960The Reddit one is easy but I never heard YouTube shorts as an insult
>>550725157>it's just because this game has no gameplay loop or reason to do anything but grind moneyThe expedition money grind has made Buried City so stupid.The trains are just constantly leaving from like 3 minutes in because people are looting a building or two for trinkets and then just leaving so they can reload on a map where other players haven't opened the containers.You don't even really see other players or hear anyone fighting ARC
>>550725192NOOO PEANUT BAD HES A STREAMER SO HE SUCKS AND IS CANCER TO VIDEO GAMES NOOOOO I DONT CARE IF HE'S A LIL RACIST AND FUNNY NOOOOOOOOO
>>550725381>>550725247YouTube is full of arc wholesome chungus 1000+ clips with the comments being mostly by brainlets it’s probably from that
>>550724769this. i realized why people like him but when you actually play the games and dont have something like a streamer image to uphold, you realize a lot of his ideas and his whole git is just appealing to normie gamer dads who don't think beyond surface levelso in turn they think hes a fuckin genius. sad. many such cases
>>550724960Not this general since it’s anti PvP here its probably just some troll
>>550724960It’s too easy to troll in this game just say you like call of duty and you’ll get reactions
>>550724821This basically. Ive bumped into aggressive players but it has never been these pure cod kos lobbies I would see people talk about. Now that we actually know behavior is part of mm, we’re starting to learn how to benefit from it.
>>550725192true, pretty fun watching him waste 4mil gifted to him by other streamers in a few hours
Thing with the streamers is that the smart ones realized very quickly that the game is boring as fuck, especially to watch, if you don't pvp and introduce conflict.Like northernlion and their hangers on have just been openly saying as much.It's either that or getting super invested in the grind.
>>550724660We were in chungartha before the cold snap event started. The big common thread in all of the anecdotes about ARC getting a big rat problem is that they players would lose their cool after being ganked by a nigger/extract camped and then they'd take out their frustration on others for a round or two. This kicked off their spiral to ratkanda. Throughout all of that, there were still people reporting that they were remaining in friendly matches if they stayed true to the path of nonaggression.The combination of event goals and perhaps karma resets might help herd the drooling masses to inadvertently detour into Chungartha, but the friendly lobbies have been here the whole time.
Arc still had good retention tho, battlefield 6 is currently dying a slow death week by week
>>550724959Streamers are more likely to engage in PvP since combat is exciting and entertains viewers.
>>550725192The instance the other anon is talking about was definitely not him putting on a show. He's still competitive and streams alongside super competitive gamers, and he was lighting up the solo lobby before three dudes ran up on him. Getting triple teamed instead of outplayed naturally is reason enough for anyone to get upset, especially when that person is -constantly- being stream sniped.Problem is that they've been stream sniped so much that they think EVERYONE is stream sniping them or cheating when they lose. Still resulted in a kind of hilarious rant at the end thoughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4AYgBDcX74&t=4260s
Is the anvil splitter actually good or placebo? I was wiping squads all last night but unfortunately one final run I finally died I’m are conflicting opinions people say a regular anvil 4 is better or they swear by this attachment
>>550726467thishe's clearly confused>why did 3 people just team up on me they must have no lives and are streamsniping me on discord
>>550726337I could have told you BF and Cod would die off fairly quickly before their release. Those franchises are like shambling rotting corpses at this point. They're designed to make a quick buck off their addicted fanbase that don't question buying a sequel with barely any changes every other year. They're like moba game but even worse, at least Mobas TRY to innovate on their content.They just release, make money from advertising and marketing, and then abandon ship and move on.
Chungartha is real.
>>550726251We all have reasons to be bitter and resentful. Not allowing the world to make us so is the great challenge of life.
>>550727191Imagine it as a way to turn your Anvil into a medium range shotgun. Awful at long range, amazing up close. It's not a straight upgrade
>>550727191It's a medium-range shotgun with a 2.5x headshot multiplier. Faster firerate than the toro too.
Apparently, you can kill people with the fireworks.DO NOT USE THEM INSIDE SMALL ROOMS
Do you enjoy the game more in Chungartha anon? Be honest.
>>550727191when crouched and stationary i am pretty sure it's just a better anvil. When used "normally" it's a medium ranged shotgun that will rape, provided you can hit heads
>>550730593Right now? Yes, absolutely. Before the expedition bullshit? No. I had more fun then because my gameplay was more varied. Sometimes I'd kill, sometimes I'd be friendly. Sometimes I'd kill three people in a match and be friendly with the rest. Now it's just all or nothing which gets boring.
Goofy little bastards, I love them
>>550731051Idk. I like hanging out with other raiders and taking on Arc together or just chatting. There's something so immersive and interesting about the dynamic encounters with people in this game
>>550730593YesI just found a purple key, for blue gate confiscationran up to some guy and asked him if he wanted to loot it with me and so we didwent to extract, another guy had just activated it and we all rolled in and left togetherthe game is much more relaxing like this than having to feel the constant fear of KoS fags, corner campers and backstabbers
>>550730593I do. I never feel 100% safe so there is still tension, I've been careless and paid for it. I've had long streaks of no violence but I know it will end at some point so any raid can be the one when those stitcher shots hit me from behind, but not constantly fighting everyone gives me more chance to explore and I like looting. When I find a pink and it makes that sound my brain releases the good chemicals.
>>550731378This. I always try and do a key room with the first dude I find with a mic. It's nice having the backup, people outside will hear two raiders inside having a friendly conversation and not engage, and there's enough loot to share.
>>550730593Yes. This should have been a PvE game. The swedes dropped the ball with their shit takes.
>>550689958That would be interesting. Some people have made good points that the current experience is skewed due to the expedition, but I think things will stay similar to how they are now.
>>550731887I think so too, because people are realizing it is so much easier and so much more consistent making money when no one is wasting a match corner camping, or attempting to kill one another. Everyone fills their pockets and dips. It just works out better for everyone. I still like having the fear of a potential rat though
If streamers complained about the weapon balance and pointlessness of PvE grinding, I wonder if they would have improved it by now.It seems like that's the only way these Swedish cocksuckers get off their asses.
i don't think self defense should affect your mmr either positively or negatively, it's retarded
>>550731887I mean expedition is every 2 months. That shit is gonna feel basically constant.Its like the swedes basically concocted a tiny progression treadmill, and it doesnt matter if you upgrade everything and get everything you want in like 3 weeks because1. The gear doesnt matter, Medium Shield + stitcher IV fucks hard2. Expedition comes not long after anywayIts actually a bit of a scam, its like the game's depth itself is quite shallow, but because of frequent resets and new content patches every couple months (At least that seems the way so far), people will just keep resetting and keeping themselves busy.I hope they add more long term things to work for that arent a reset in future. Otherwise this is gonna get old by Summer 2026.We have Marathon to try in March at least but still
>>550731214I felt bad when I threw a flame grenade on it and it started sparking and squeaking like it was in pain
>>550730593Yes.
>have 3.8m total>have tonight after work and the pretty much t whole weekend to playWill I make it to my 5m bros?
>>550732051Streamers are never going to complain about gear balancing since they're all mostly just PvP fagsSo gear progression being completely flat is to their benefit as they don't have to engage with the PvE part of the game to competeThe game is basically split into two games, PvP fags play an entirely different game from those who loot and kill ARC. It's just a total disconnect
>>550732548Bro, me and this guy bullied on one Space port last night and blew its leg off and it was barely able to move and couldn't even leap anymore. Felt bad for the feller
>>550732565we're all gunna make it bro
>>550732202I think I'm just never going to do another expedition again unless the cosmetics for the next ones are super duper awesomeThe 5 mil grind was utterly retarded
>hear a Bastion go BRRRRRR>see Raider Flare >run over to defib the guy>three other people had the same idea >we all team up on the Bastion for bullying a fellow ChungThese lobbies are the fucking best man. Insane to see such consistent friendliness. It was looking rough for the first week after the 5m was announced.
>>550732671Yeah, that's for sure.I know my idea probably sounds retarded, but personally, I think they should remove weapon tiers and do the following:>Buff shields>TRY to balance all weapons into a sort of even playing field.>Make weapon MODS the actual tiered item in the game, crafted from arc parts and shit.Right now I just feel no desire to try to get other weapons. There's several I've still never used because I haven't obtained them or don't feel like crafting them since they'll be shit anyways.At least this would give me more incentive to fool around with shit more. And it wouldn't fuck the complete lack of balance the game already has. It wouldn't punish PvP players, it wouldn't punish PvE players. Still doesn't incentive PvE much though. Hrmm.
>>550732725I'm getting kind of excited. Anyone else? We will be the very first expedition ever. Once in this games lifetime thing.
>barely have 3 million>will have to give it all away soonI will never financially recover from this.
>>550732832>>550732832Not only did the 5mill feel like a rugpull (Getting told we get bonus skill points for completing an expedition, then told we have to do all the expedition hurdles THEN hoard shit to make 5million) but the system itself seems very underwhelming.And without an expedition to grind towards there isnt anything else to strive forLike (I know I'm mentioning Marathon again) but the tidbits of AI generated lore we get in random cutscenes of the shopkeepers talking in Raiders is... just about passable.But Marathon has got Arthur Morgan's voice actor in as a major character in Marathon's lore exposition. It looks like its quests, collecting trinkets and artifacts, exploring the maps etc.I feel like that system is gonna have so much more meat to it because Raiders is undercooked, because they pulled a 90 degree turn midway through development to veer away from being a pure co-op pve title
>>550733616Yeah I thought the story quests would go somewhere but I all I got were little codex entries that said>The ARC are mysterious robots...
>>550733068You know, that's not entirely retarded. Making weapons tierless and weapon mods be the actual upgrade is how Apex Legends solved it. All guns are competitive but you gain an edge by getting attachments whether that is a better scope, a stock for more stable aim or just a bigger magI think it's a great idea actuallyIt would remove the mental issue with seeing high tier guns performing on the same level as lower tier onesThey could even make it so grey weapons can only take grey attachments, blue can take grey and blue and so on
>>550733817>>550733616They don’t wanna reveal to much out of fear of being considered woke the arc are made by evil white people who escapes to space due to global warming, the arc came down to clean the “Undesirables” still on earth so the space humans can come back
>>550733616The expedition itself felt fine IMO. It's the fucking 5M tacked on top that is utter bullshit. The game's balance also feels grossly undercooked. Like 90% of the balance effort went into balancing the PvE combat, and then they just YOLO'd it with the PvP.
>>550733616I would probably like Marathon more if it didn't look like shit and ran like shitI played the previous playtest and it's just an eyesore, like the game genuinely hurts to look at and I really don't like that it's effectively a hero shooter but with extraction and looting mechanics
>>550734119Knowing Swede games the space humans will also all be ugly brown women
>>550733616>>550734119All extraction shooter lore is from the school of dark souls, explain nothing, and leave it all in books Tarkov lore was based on a shitty F2P shooter about how Wagner are the good guys
>>550734119I think that there's still a question of whether or not the ARC are acting on behalf of the space jews or if they did a Skynet.
Arc has bad world building, the lack of factions and the fact everyone goes back to Speraza raises questions. Like if everyone goes back to Speraza wouldn’t someone realize certain raiders back stab people? Another human settlement exists but it’s just Speraza we see
>>550734641Someone also mentioned in that in lore you don’t actually die you are knocked out and manage to get back to Speraza later
I'm probably one of only 2-3 people actually bothering to bring the hullcracker to stella to farm the shredders, but I think that I've found the sweetspot to two-tap them again. They used to be more fragile before they giga-buffed them earlier this week and one hullcracker round to the turbine would 99% kill it and the you could finish it off with a hard stare. Now it seems like you need to impact just below its "neck" twice to kill it in two hits. It's still a bit finicky. It doesn't help that their pathfinding feels all kind of fucked since the buff.
>>550734829>>550734641This makes sense. The "Safe Pocket" in augments is locked to all but the owner. So after getting knocked out, you get rescued someway somehow but you were robbed of everything but your prison wallet.It does kind of kill the lore-danger of Arc if it means they arent actually killing anyone though.I get its a bit of gameplay/lore segregation but they go back and forth so much its hard to buy into it.
>>550734641Speranza is the central hub of Toledo, which is a bunch of barely connected smaller settlements. The explanation for us fighting is that these settlements fight each other over resources, but Speranza is sort of a safe zone main street.Think of it as districts of a city. Whites come from Chungartha while Freenigs come from Ratkanda.
>>550734390why is everything so gay now? If you have to shovel brown people into everything at least make them tall brown amazonian women coming to claim the earth or somethingfuckFUCK
>>550734323yea it was pretty obvious Marathon was supposed to be a hero shooter and they suddenly were like "oh maybe we should do an extraction shooter since that's the FOTM genre" and I guess just left the heros in
found my first ebin, a snowglobecan it be used for something or is it just cash?
>>550736091If you don't sell it and just keep it collecting dust in your stash, then it shows up on a shelf in your raider's bedroom.
>>550736091If you keep it in your stash it'll show up on one of the shelves behind your raider in the raider screen.
>>550736091it shows up in your raider's hideout, otherwise yea just cash

>>550736091Its just cash or a decoration in your room. But you cant really control your room (for now) it just picks a random assortment of your stash to display. I feel like the snowglobes always show up though due to their value.Always best to hang on to it for expedition progress or when you need a quick influx of cash
>>550736490>>550736390>>550736248>>550736221roger, money it is
>>550736438because I don't want to pvp moronhow hard is that to understand, I'm glad for you finding KOSistan
>>550736438Because cool interactions like that are the exception unfortunately. Its usually just me getting shot while Im in a looting screen.
>>550736765It's hard for me to understand because the pve is so bad that the devs literally had to rework their game to make it suck less.>>550736895That's fair. I'd still prefer that over pure pve though, but that's just me after 20+ raids of running around guns stowed with no fear at all. I'm glad to have that adrenaline back and the feeling of not knowing who to trust.
beyond doing quests and looking up where the keylocked rooms are when I find a key for one, I have never once been intentional about how I play this game. I just treat it like a battle royale. whatever happens, happens
>>550737604based fun having chadroutes and optimal style is for fucking losers
>>550736438I kind of want to get a small taste of the pure PvP KoS fag lobbies, but I also don't want to shoot a fellow Chungarthan and get exiled from ChungarthaDoes this game have family share? Can I play on a different Steam account with the same copy?
>>550736438>one guy down screaming at the other dude for spawn campingLiterally because of that, every time there is PvP all I hear is people on their knees whining like little bitches. It got old quick.
i'm out of hatch keys
What's the best pvp weapon if I can't hit heads?Let's be real, I'm hitting center mass most of the time
>>550738343Yes, you can. Just log into a different (new) Embark ID on the family shared account.
>>550738343You could always shoot people without downing them then get exiled and earn your way back. Just snipe at people or something.
>>550738670run the dam SB route but do 2 extra turns to grab server racks, it's not that complicated
>>550738670they're so cheap to make though
i played the game for 4-5 hours before i found out there is a free battle pass like in helldivers
>>550738670Tons of sensors in Stella
>>550738770The most cheap PvP weapon in the game? Stitcher.The most OP PvP weapon in the game? Stitcher.The most retard proof weapon in the entire game? Stitcher.Embrace the dogshit meta.
>>550738846>>550738894yeah i know, they've just been hit every time by the time i get there since I keep getting spawned in bumfuck nowhere and/or late
>>550739124If you're that desperate naked spam into stella till you get assembly and loot the server racks there. If you spawned anywhere before minute 20 they are usually still intact.
>>550738770Kettle with a full auto macro
>>550739443anon asked for a retard proof weapon.
>>550739315Nobody ever loots the server racks in the sandbox control rooms/communications/business center.

>>550734991Is there a quest to kill a shredder? Someone asked me in medical where to find one last night. You make back what you spend on ammo? I like being able to turn a profit killing enemies.
>>550738770Shock mine or showstopper + stitcher.
Do any developers stream so we can get an idea of how they play?
>>550734390
>>550740043noyou can see some of their gameplay in the documentaries they've put up on their youtube channel but it's mostly internal playtesting stuff, and not raw at all
>>550740027you need 10 Shredder cores to build the expedition thing
>raid #9 without finding a single industrial battery
>>550740452nta but really? I finished the expedition before they added Stella Montisfunny that they would update the requirement for those that hadn't yet
>lost my only Anvil to a guy I ran into in the first minute of a match pretending to be friendly and then throwing a sticky bomb on me and gunning me down when I looted a body in front of himI need out of Wakanda man
>>550740027If you craft your ammo, then yes you make a profit killing shredders. I did the math in the last thread. If you craft your ammo via arc motion cores, then each cracker round costs ~256 credits. If you craft arc alloys into motion cores first, then each round costs ~356 credits. The shredder always drops the 3k shredder gyro, and then a mix of lesser loot like mechanical components, gun parts, and arc alloys (which can help craft more ammo).I run the hullcracker as my plan-B. All of the juicy loot spots on stella are looted within the first 3 minutes of the match. If I spawn late then I basically make my way over the atrium to loot the lush bloom baskets in the fridge. Depending on where I spawned I'll hit up sits like the sandbox control rooms, the business center, the staff room, or the collapsed tunnel sec locker spawns. The risk is that eventually some nigger will mug you and take your hullcracker. The shredder loot combined with the loot from the secondary sites makes for what I feel is a respectable haul when you don't get the god spawns in assembly/medical. The server racks in stella spawn a large number of batteries, which while not a huge money boost up front will equate to a big surge of cash when you get around to farming some advanced arc power cells to craft energy clips.
I am wiping anyway, anyone wants it?>>550740620Go into the domes on dam, there is always a lot of those on the racks

>>550740815Ah yes I remember that now. Thanks for the breakdown.
>>550739921Ferro is a simply incredible vidya weapon, but none is better than the true and honest KING of the game. This thing gets a man's dick wagging. You can feel the sheer kino pour out of it with every shot. God tier vidya handcannon. Among the best
imagining if it was kos all this time it would be impossible to do most of these quests, that reward garbage
>>550741981that's an ugly revolver and i have yet to try one
>>550742058I'm surprised that the quests don't at least hand out a large chunk of XP to help grind levels.
>>550742058Literally no one would ever make money if everyone KoSniggered. How much money can you make leaving with broken guns, shields, and 12 scrap metal?
There really is something to the matchmaking stories huh?Attacked some raiders because I had "do x damager to raiders" and then a game or two later I got attacked like 3 minutes in walking past an extraction point, way too early for me to have any actual loot.
>>550742114>talking shit about the greatest weapon in the game>hasn't even used itYou should be beaten until you piss blood. We all love the Anvil. There is no better weapon to have on you in 99% of situations.
>>550742339People who KoS a couple minutes into the match must be actually foaming at mouth pants on head retarded. It makes zero logistical sense and they will just send another raider in to replace them right away. Obviously PvPniggers are dumb people
>>550742182Well you loot their>checks notesFreekit.
>>550742483>>550742259Meant for you son.
>>550741981I'm a big fan of the ferro headshot into stitcher magdump combo. and when I'm feeling feisty I go for the Anvil and Il Toro combo
>>550740815The sandbox isnt bad and is largely ignored same with cultural archives. Though with cultural archives I find that I just open a bunch of crates in the dark that are filled with plastic and fabric. People figured out to loot the little blue drawers on the sides of the shipping containers in the loading bay Ive noticed.
>>550742114It's a straight upgrade to the ferro.
>>550742727For me, personally speaking, and in my own humble opinion, it is Anvil and Burletta.
>>550742727You can be slightly faster using the same tactic with anvil into burletta.
>>550742483They dont care about the game its just a BR to them. You could play this using nothing but freekits and be fine.
holy shit non chungus lobbies are just cancer
>>550742259yesyou can reach chungartha just fine but the moment you shoot someone you're going back to the KOSnigger mines. Doesn't matter if it's for some creds and you don't even kill the game, nor if you return fire in self defense after getting hit.
>>550743210to add, like the game absolutely has aggression based matchmakingI made a smurf account, first game I get into the very first guy I meet opens fire, I get himI then hear another two guys fighting inside testing annex, I activate the extract but as it opens up another guy comes and opens fire on meI am low as I just had killed a hornet and he just knocks me out inside the elevator, russian of course
Ratkanda KoSigger lobbies must be the saddest, most isolated and miserable places.
>>550743320I let a raider shoot and down me last night for one of those “damage raider using x ammo” things and she rezed me after, but I wonder if she was sent to mordor after that.
>be in chungartha>rat someone but intentionally miss all shots>they kill me>they're banished to ratkanda
>>550743576I think some of them like it desu. I have no interest in it and if I had to pvp every raid I would quit. I wouldnt be able to enjoy the maps as much. Its just the right amount of chill right now for me. The goldilocks zone. Im glad they figured out a way to keep us largely separated w/o creating completely different pvp and pve modes.
>>550743781>see someone unlock a key door>shoot at the door frame as they walk in>door closes>toss a trigger grenade at the door>leave>know they're shitting and pissing their pants not sure if it's going to be safe to loot>know they'll be there until near raid end expecting me to be camping their only exit from that room because they can hear the grenade beeping on the outside
>>550743406I just killed a guy just exiting a key room on Dam>>550743576>>550743781oh I like the name Ratkanda, I am all in on my smurf now
>>550742730I can't bring myself to like cultural archives. I have looted a mix tap from the crates, but 99% of the time it's just plastic and fabric. If you go there at all I feel like it's probably only worth looting the shredders and trinkets that are sitting on the assorted chairs along the edges of the walls.Also, anecdotally I get attacked by a kosnigger every time that I visit archives. I don't know what it is about that place.
>>550743320You can avoid the MM reset if you respond to the survey afterwards with a :(
>>550744390>get attacked by a kosnigger every time that I visit archives.Same pretty much. I think because it’s dark and isolated. Theres no witnesses. Its just not worth the trouble. Its not like lobby or cargo dock that have a lot of traffic
We have to re unlock all the maps again if we reset right?
>>550745146I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'm pretty sure that we keep the map unlocks.
>>550745146No, we keep those.
>spawn and immediately beeline to the extract just because I had a feat that needed me to. and I got KOSed the times I tried to play normally>as I extract a rando shows up and gives me a vulcano and we escape together I'm coming home for chungmas
This guy came up on the roof with me, pinged a couple people on the ground with a kettle, which earned me a ferro shot, started dancing, then jumped off the roof.
>>550745368You're in a 50/50 server. To chungmaxx you need to, for about 10 or so raids, freekit and intentionally walk at people and hope they shoot you. Once they knock you out respond to the survey with a :(. Rinse repeat until you load into a map and dont hear any pvp or raider flares. That's chungartha
>>550745353Fuck yeah
>>550742483It’s not about the money it’s about sending the message
>>550745643I think extracting with randos increases your chungus score. I also heard from a youtuber that looting downed raiders even if you didnt down them can get you kicked out. Could just be a rumor.
One the one hand, a bike or some sort of transport option would be really cool, but on the other hand it would probably break the game and make it super easy to loot rush >>550745853That's a rumor. The only thing that matters is damaging raiders, and the survey afterwards on runs where someone shoots you.
>go to matriarch with a ferro and some seekers>do fuck all>wander around after and leave with a bunch of renegades people died with>even found a dead unlooted bastion
>>550745961I don't know how much the survey impacts things. I hope a decent amount. I'm expecting to have to play some penalty matches after having to defend myself last night. Downed but didn't kill the assailant. The extraction point auto-extracted before he could die.
found my first bobcat ever, as a free load outvery nerve wracking
One of the reasons I don't buy this whole schizo ass Chungartha aggression matchmaking bullshit is that I spend half the time murderhoboing in Stella in groups but I still get incredibly passive solo runs.I gotta admit tho, it is fun to shitpost about Karma-driven matchmaking.
>>550745961give me an arc powered hoverskateboard
>>550746183Matchmaking is the only explanation for why some players' stella runs are peaceful with people gifting BPs and shit, while others constantly have death flares going off.
Some of the stuff in this really isn't intuitive.Like the locked door quests, I've just given up and searched where they all are after spending 3 games farting around and not finding the water treatment room.Same for the loot that's labled with a general area but seems to drop more in one specific building
I don't think I have it in me to be a KoS fag even on a different accountI just unloaded a whole Stitcher mag into a guy just looting and minding his own business, he had a bp and two green keys on him tooAnd I just feel bad about it. What if I go numb to killing, will I even be able to return to Chungartha on my real account? What if I develop an urge to hurt my fellow Chungarthan?
>>550746174I remember when I used to sweat over 10k items and BPs. Fun times. >>550746183Maybe group is a different MM? That hasnt been proven yet, but it would make sense. Chungartha is real, though. Dont let the PVPigs convince you otherwise.
>>550746343Yeah but there's no way it works this simply. By the gospel of the Chungartha prophets, I should be in KOS ratnigger lobbies due to my horrid murder sprees on Stella, but I'm not.If there is a component like this in play, it is just that - a component, not the whole thing.
>>550745643the very next round I froze to death right outside the extract after I narrowly killed a few arcs and 2 randos helped me evac while i was down. I think I'm well on my way home
>>550746604The actually mechanics behind it are still unknown. I think that it's just apparent that there are distinctly different matchmaking groups. I suspect that it is damage based but that the matchmaking system doesn't have much memory so it's easy to traverse from one side of the spectrum to another.
>>550746604what happens in stella stays in stella
>tfw got the game a few days ago>tfw 23 hours playtime>tfw rushed to finish the expedition just for the cosmetic and now I'm burnt outthis was perhaps a mistake
>>550746486Yeah it just feels gross
The survey's arent to improve the game. They're there to curate your experience.
>bad aim>poor reflexes >takes too much time moving things in inventory >cant figure out to get to places so I just jumpAnybody else bad at this?
>>550746693The closer you get to Chungartha, the more like minded pilgrims you will find sharing your path.
Patrol outfit has the cutest ass I've seen so far
Is voice chat quiet for anyone else? I've got the slider maxed but tons of times I can't hear what people close to me are saying
>>550748209post itsomeone needs to do an AI edit of it if true
>>550748576yeah, a guy was talking right next to me and I could barely hear him
>getting followed and killed with no weapons minutes into a gamecome on man
>>550749085Id rather get killed at the beginning than at extract. I feel like the first few minutes and between 21-10 of the match are the most dangerous. You have the kos fags looking for their first victim and then late spawning kos fags looking for people that have just been looting. With 10 minutes remaining you have the map mostly to yourself or the most autistic of extract campers. 24 minute mark feels pretty safe because people are just finishing looting and you’ll probably extract with multiple people.
>day 3 of queuing up for extra loot value events and then immediately beelining for the closest industrial zone>still only 2/3 rusted gears to upgrade my weaponsmithing bench
>>550748985
>>550750192i found a rusted gear earlier today and sold it for $2000 (:
>>550750286DAMN that IS a nice bubble butt
>>550750192The bench upgrades are why I can't see myself doing the expeditionsIt's less about grinding valuable stuff and more about getting loads of stuff that's just annoying to accumulate.Especially funny with all the stuff the game tells you it's okay to recycle lol
>>550750192Check under car hoods, that's where I found all of mine
>>550750586huh, I never thought of that. I gave up on opening cars because I've never seen anything in them but metal parts and chemicals>>550750583yeah honestly my biggest complaint about this game other than the PvP balance is how many items you need for a specific purpose but the game tells you is completely expendable vendor trash>>550750326I swear to go this game spawns items based on whether or not you need them. It took me ages to find rusted tools too, but now that I've used them I can't do a single run through an industrial area without finding a full stack of them at minimum
>he thinks this is the last time he'll have to grind light bulbs
did they unfuck hullcracker yet
>>550751050Car hoods during increased loot events like Night Time or Cold Snap usually give green or blue mechanical loot. Plus nobody EVER loots them
Can someone explain the locked gate event?? Where do you go once the gate is opened? It’s maximum chungartha but I have no clue what to do or where to go once the gate opens
I have never seen a Riposta or Voltedge skin being used by anyone in game. Is it worth it to get them so Id be an abnormality?

>>550754080It's one of the cleanest color schemes in the game. Red, black and white. Seethe.
>>550754175Black people do this all the time. It's literally where the meme "Dindu nuffin" came from
>>550753773That stigma seems to be exclusively for the orange variant. Bonus points if they only wear the Balaclava
