>>557317046Elon, want to team up with me and Eepstein?
>finally managed to trade blueprints with myselfphewthose 3 survivor blueprints is basically 6 months of insurance
>>557317419
Time to commit to trials. Tuesday I accidentally plinked a Rocketeer. Had my Queen weapon load out so just hatched with it.
>>557317419how? I need to mule some shit for the wipe
>See players trying to loot the Queen/Matriarch early in friendly lobbies.>Throw multiple lures/snitch grenades on top of them.If I do the work you will not be profiting. If I get multiple I give them out to other players that didn't get any.
>>557318105second computer/accountdoesn't seem too complicated, but you do need 2 devices, and I did need to purchase the game twice
>>557318556when I go ino a queen or matriarch lobby, I bring a snaphook a cloak and 2 stacks of heavy smokes, in addition to a hullcracker and a couple of stacks of its shellspop a piece of armor with the cracker, immediately smoke it and snap to it, hit the cloak once before looting then hit the cloak again after looting, snap awayconsistently works as long as I'm not shooting off armor pieces directly above some rat faggot lurking below the bossif there are, they get lures spammed at them until they die or fuck off>>557318827aah figures, I do have a laptop that can also run it, maybe I'll grab the cracked version that works online and transfer them that way
>>557318105>>557318827Honestly, it feels like muling would be less necessary if we just traded between players more. Basically everyone is finding duplicates of shit they don't need. Trading a spare BP to someone else in return for something you want has to be worth more than the 5000 coins you get from selling it.
>>557319120eh, I'm only muling for the wipe because fuck grinding another 263 runs te get a tempest again, even if the gun is midthere are a few QOL prints that I just don't want to bother having to track down again after the wipe, like surv3, anvil, all the gun parts, mag3s, spanhook, wolfpack, vitaspray, etc
>>557319120yea its really just that the expedition mostly wipes everyoneso even if you had stuff or seeds to trade, you'd basically be back to 0 when you want the stuffI get part of the game is "yea you just wipe and start over" which I'm fine with, but these survivor augments are game changing for me, I admit I'm actually bad and die to arc all the time, and it's nice having some insurance, or even dying close to an extract and just being able to survive while you call it is really nice, I know gear isn't worth a lot, but for trials its been life saving when I mess up and don't want to lose 8 wolfpacks and 8 stacks of hullcracker ammo or w/e, if they implemented something like>yep season 3 of the expedition, all blueprints are now Survivor V3 so you cant hoard old onesI'd accept that and just have to go "oh well"
Dead game.
>>557320598The ones that are truly necessary are wolfpack and gun parts. Without the ability to craft gun parts, you can end up easily locked out of using your best weapons. And without the ability to make wolf packs.... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha good fucking luck. Any situation where a rocketeer spots you and you don't have two wolfpacks on you is a situation where you just fucking die. Even a lure grenade won't save you, because all you'll do it distract the Rocketeer long enough to run ten steps and then it will just lock onto you and vaporize you like it was already planning on. Its another matter if you are in a building or can spent into one in five seconds, but if you are between buildings? You're toast, and the only thing that can possibly save you in time is wolfpacks
>>557321090Survivor is really great, especially in PvE. I've actually died twice in situations where I crawled to extract, called it in, and croaked *after* I pressed the button to return but before the doors finished closing and I hit the exit screen. Survivor makes those sorts of deaths impossible.
I'm wiping and I have no intention of using a mule. Trials are primarily for faggots anyway. After three stars, who gives a fuck?
>>557321090>actually bad and die to arc all the timeI am legitimately struggling to understand this, aside from random rocketeer aggro or boss fights or maaaaaybe getting bodyblocked by a shredder on stella_how_ ?
>>557322431It hasn't happened to me yet, but there have been numerous situations where a team of pops and fireballs teleport behind me and almost ruin my fucking life.
>metafag pig with toro IV crawls away while you are fighting off the 3rd partyThe absolute most annoying thing in the game. If started autoknocking, 3rd party be damned.
>>557322431like the other anon said, mostly popsusually I carry a heavy weapon so fireballs aren't too crazybut I miss my shots on pops all the timeI cant get the hang of dodging hornets so if I don't have cover I'm fucked thereeven if I don't shoot a Bastion it for some reason zeroes in on me like a 360 noscope, I'm almost convince my medium shield somehow has more aggro and everyone else is using light>hidden bunker>going to defib guy>everyone shooting it>not even attacking it>defib guy>it spins around and starts shooting up the hill at meluckily the hill protected me, but it was like running to get an angle on me, even other people were like>wtf it must love youcomes down to skill issues I'm sure, I'm not denying it or saying the arc are unfair or anything
>>557322431NTA, but I found that I actually was more likely to die when I brought better gear than with worse stuff, because the *idea* that I could take the arc in a straight fight gave me a false sense of security that would get me killed.Think of it this way: when you are fighting with a Ferro, you KNOW you have to pop out, take you shit, and hide again while reloading and you need to make every shot count. This feels stressful, but is also just unambiguously good tactics. This keeps you alive.If you roll into that same fight with an Anvil? You *should* be fighting the same way as with a Ferro, but instead the fact that you might be able to just gun down that Hornet baits you into staying exposed longer than you should to get more shots off, and the fact that you can fire in succession means you are not saving those shots for the perfect moment. So you actually waste more ammo and do less damage, getting hit more often. Having the better weapon made me fee like I had more room to play worse than I really had.
>>557324052>pew pew pew>light turns red>roll awayHornets are easier to dodge than wasps.
>>557324430Agreed, if you are playing well. What I'm saying is that instead of rolling away, having better gear can make you think > pew pew pew> light turns red> "if this shot lands I think I got him"> "I don't got hi-" *ZZZZZZZT* "ERGHRGHRGHRGRH FUCK"
HOW DO I KILL THESE FAGGOT NIGGERS>HOW DO I KILL THESE FAGGOT NIGGERSHOW DO I KILL THESE FAGGOT NIGGERS>HOW DO I KILL THESE FAGGOT NIGGERSHOW DO I KILL THESE FAGGOT NIGGERS>HOW DO I KILL THESE FAGGOT NIGGERS
>>557325293Are they running around the outside maps now? You need some cover when they stop and have to aim for the boosters. Maybe have some of the barricades?
>>557325293Shoot vents. Two shots with hullcracker.
>>557325293360 no scope shotgun blasts. When its about to fire take cover, repeat. Shredders are seriously one of the easiest to deal with. They can catch you in a tight spot sometimes and if they do will rekt your shit, but otherwise not a problem.
>>557318556what skin is that?
>>557325293>find pillar or boxes that you can easily go around and provide cover>use guns to shoot at the 3 box vents near bottom>or whack away at it with melee for a min or two
>>557323963Pops are weird. When moving i have to aim above the center in order to hit it. If I aim at center its a miss
>>557325903 Oh, this skin? Its the deluxe preorder skin.
>>557325903a skin you can't get anymore because it was a pre-ordered bonus, I don't know the name
>>557322431>>557322913>>557323963>>557326105pops are truly cancer they can just appear out of nowhere with no sound and instantly destroy you in a pack. with how close they get and how fast they are your shots can easily miss. bastions as well they can instantly do a 180 and snap to you just for blinking even if they are going full roid rage on someone else. you can be sneaking behind them and then suddenly they detect you just because. meanwhile you can sneak behind a bombardier wither zero issues.then fucking hornets and their shots that seem to be able to warp reality to bend around objects or predict the future. it is also impossible to recover from getting goomba stomped by a leaper to avoid its retarded ass aoe.lastly the queen/matriarch can stomp you through buildings and other objects because fuck if i know.
Peanut says he's going to play Marathon when it releases. Is it over?
>>557326364rip
>>557327245Probably not. I pre-ordered marathon but plan on going on the 3rd expedition when it's announced.
>randomly find a guy dying >have a defib so I pick him up>he gives me his sniper rifle as thanks>go down a few games later during a matriarch fight I lost your rifle bro I'm so sorryI treasured it while I had it
>>557327147You know what I find most bullshit about pops? They always seem to do the same amount of damage to you no matter what shields you are wearing. Think about it. You wearing a light shield? You lose your shield and you lost most of your health. You wearing a heavy shield? You lose like all but 1 bar of your shield, and still lose most of your health. They just magically always do enough damage to ALMOST down you, no matter what gear you have. Any single pop always forces you onto deaths door. No exceptions.
>they haven't found the named weapon spawns yet>>557327147hornet shots "do" predict your current vector, the correct way to avoid them is literally just move in a different direction (not even by a lot) once they fireleaper jump is hte same way, it predicts your current vector so you should always rotate 90 degrees in either direction from your current path when you hear their jets go off - it's trivial to kill a leaper even on open ground knowing this, since as long as you don't get knocked down you can bait the AOE to get free damage inthey do need to adjust bastion spin2win and boss arc geometryhax though >>557322913 >>557323963 >>557327147the last big update really fucked with their spawn patternsI have seen more pops spawn in inaccessable ocations and directly in front of/behind me since that update than any time beforestill, you can sprint-roll straight through a pop rolling directly at you and avoid the blast radius most of the time, and all of the time if they're coming at your from an angle or behind
>>5573252933 seeker 'nades will do it
anyone else kill suspected browns in chungartha?
>>557328053kill the ones blasting rap over proximity
>>557328053>killing some hornets>all of a sudden a ferro shot wizzes past my face>"that's weird, I killed all the arc">then another>"oh he's trying to kill me">run>hide>bide my time>another person trying to fight arc>he shoots them in the back with the ferro and lets the arc kill the guy>shoots another person likely getting springs>few minutes>hear a hornet>hear the same ferro start fighting it>look over>take my shothe probably escaped, I'll have to remember that for next time, but seemed like everyone was new in the lobby, so was probably exciting for him
Can we get more pvp webms?
are you guys really doing crazy shit like self trading just to get around wipingit seems utterly ridiculous to mejust care less
>>5573298642 copies of this game costs less than 1 copy of most games. But if you have a friend that you can trust, you could just both family share to a smurf account and use it when the other isn't playing. And yeah you have to spend a few hours ferrying over blueprints but it's still less time than having to actively search for them during the next wipe.
>>557329864idk about other people, but I have like 3 survivor augment blueprintswhich is arguably the rarest blueprint in the game next to tempest
>>557329864I'm just never going to wipe. It's a pain in the ass to find blueprints anyway.
>>557328723that's an odd crosshair color, how does it work at night/dark maps?I use 100% green and blue 25% red with no outline, 2px width center dot
>>557330513i should probably change it to a better color or somethingI just liked having the dot to generally know where I'm going to hit, I'm really only planning to fight arc, I used to have the colors swapped but I would lose the crosshair on certain backgrounds, so i thought maybe this was the best combinationalso my eyes are bad, if I make the crosshair too thin its hard to see
>>557330426the only reason I'm wiping is increased stash spacedon't care about skillpoints or cosmetics or anything else it awardsI would much rather they offer an "expedition rewards" store with a token system, where you could choose what rewards you want, as I'd go 100% on stash slots
best location to kill a bastion?
>>557329864light, medium, and heavy gunparts for mefeel like they should be default but I guess they don't want people just using the best guns forever, hence the simple gun parts gating most stuff anyway
>>557327860T>The More You KnowThanks Raider!
if anyone was going to trade themselves blueprint, they have about 2 weeks to do it and grabbing a decent augment for itthe tactical mk3 healing has 3 safe slots, if you upgrade your benches and craft these consistently you can trade over 3 blueprints at a time
>>557327860The ai also seems to be acting very weird lately. They juke/jump a lot more but will also do things like try to run up walls and such. I wonder if it's related to the devs fixing the out-of-bounds glitching that has messed with their pathing.
>>557331867or just be deep in the pve queue and drop in with a hatch key and trade all ~20 relevant BPs in one go>>557332131yeah I see pops and fireballs trying to roll up walls all the time nowits hilarious when they're doing it by a window and hop outside to surprise-sex someone running by
>>557325903>>557326364It's the G-Suit skin from pre-ordering. A friend of mine is still pissed he missed it because EGS stopped pre-orders a day before the game released.
>>557332360Who the fuck uses EGS?
>>557322189Permanent rewards? You get emotes and skins. I like this skin so I'm going for leaderboards.
>>557332360It looks pretty gay anyway
>>557332330I'd kms if I got killed
I might make if people dont farm on the weekend, but im not counting on it
>>557333896
Turned the game back on after a 72 hour break and I'm still there. See you guys in Hotshot I guess.
we'll see how it goes, think I'll use night raid spaceport for husks>>557335031it's friday evening anonpeople go hard over the weekend and especially sunday
>>557336326I think it depends on just how used to the spawns you are, I like EMS dam, because i seemed to have accidentally memorized where they spawn, and seems easier to plan a route around final extract
im actually having fun playing tdm while i was trying to get the raider stuff
>>557336326I did EMS spaceport twice and only got around 15000 and I brought 20 stam shots
>>557338218same but Hidden Bunker, people seem to recommend EMS dam
>>557338218just wrapped up nightraid, didn't have a chance to hit the entire right side of the map due to timeI am happy with this, might tryhard the fireballs one if I start slipping, all I need is a rankup, but I really don't want to just maintain again this week
anybody want one of these before I trash them?
>>557330840If you want parts just spam Matriarch lobbies and be a vulture off the Bastion it spawns and no one cares about looting. I wish I had just done that. If you need to actually kill it for a trial... uh... I just use Battlegrounds Electro Storm for all my arc hunting. Night Raids are too spooky.
>>557330840Stella. 100% spawn rate and tons of cover.
game fucking pls
>>557342542You VILL pulse and you VILL like it.
whats a good rubber "farm"by farm, i just mean a room with a lots of salvable rubber stuff
>>557344816big arc
>>557344816there tends to be lots of rubber in industrial areas like the broken shipping containers with drawers
>it just keeps happeningnot even a special mode, stella is just stupid amounts of loot
whats the difference between venator and renegade, seems like the same thing but with a different skin
>>557347208Venator reloads quicker and isn't as strong at long range. Renegade is supposed to be a sniper but often times I'm killed by a "shotgun" only to later realize it was actually a Renegade
>>557348348renegade is not a sniperit's a battle rifle meant for medium rangethe osprey is a sniper, like the jupiter
How hard will /arg/ ACK themselves when Peanut switches to Marathon?
>>557350570I'm gonna be so excited for you weird eceleb obsessed weirdos to leave.
https://streamable.com/arexl2Found this video on my streamable thought you guys liked to see it again
>>557342542the stella montis curse>find 4 aphelion blueprints in 1 raid>ask everyone in lobby if they need it>nope.webm
>>557344816assembly workshops, motherboards and heatsinks go into wires > rubber
>>557353221>wires > rubberi must have missed that, that's helpful
>>557353074Yes! I brought every Stella quest item and tons of blueprints and none of them were needed multiple raids in a row. The moment I stopped every single raid someone asks for a geiger counter, ion sputter, etc. I feel there is some hidden matchmaking mechanics that check your quests/items/load out and chooses your lobby/spawn based on ot.
>>557352134kek
>>557327860>another medium rare sniper rifleAll my why.
>>557354562thats just an ai joke image
>>557331504>can't be used on night raidsUtterly worthless outside pvp.
Stella pvp has ruined me. No other map can compete.
gingybros, why the fuck is peanut not playing with gingy? fucking chud
>>557355892she's obviously fallen down the tierlist of who gets to play with him, she's his friend, but he has all these twitch celebrities lined up that want to stream with him
>>557342542Why even bother returning with the bps? 5k a pop is pretty meh
>>557350570God I hope that happens. I'm sick of you faggots.
KINO STREAM ANIMATION
>shoot the jupiter 20 times>already lost 30 durabilitythese fucking legendary weapons suck ASS
>>557330397>idk about other people, but I have like 3 survivor augment blueprintssurvivor has a high drop rate and predictable spawns (stella medical, buried hospital), it's not rare at all. people just notice its absence because it's the meta pick
>>557360204It feels rare when you've been hitting reinforced reception, hospital, and stella medical on night raids for... 3 weeks or so? And never seen one. Meanwhile, I've trashed something like 20 defib BPs.
>>557360204sure, but its RNG, I've gotten 2 from trials and 1 randomly in stella medical, don't really want to just delete them, I'm set for the next 3 expeditions (6 months)if I got them more frequently then I might care lessbut like that other anon said, meanwhile I have 8 defib blueprints, and you can just buy defibs from the store with no daily limit anymoreI'm considering the Vita Spray blueprint, gun parts blueprints, and maybe any extra wolfpack blueprintsI know wolfpack is supposed to be super duper common for everyone, but I didn't get one in 250 hours of playing, and still haven't found another
>>557359769They're pure garbage.
>>557359769>jupiter breaks in 1 raid or use>bettina breaks in 0.5 raids of use>bobcat breaks in 2 raids of use>grey/green garbage lasts for 10+ raidsI think it wouldn't hurt to have low durabilities on every weapon if the power upgrade wasn't 5% for 5 times the price.
>>557359769huh really?I filled 3 safepockets with full clips and ended up firing them allthats 75 shots if I'm right? and that put it at 70 durabilityI did miss some shots though, would that be why? something seems weird about that though, but maybe I'm using it wrong or it loses more duability hitting the queen or something, I was just using it on rocketeers
>>557363453nta but jupiter wholesale has ~110-115 shots worth of durability.
>>557359769Yeah. Hullcracker is fun at least and actually useful.
>>557363453idk man, i went through 4-5 clips and my shit was already at 69 dura. then the next match, i shoot about another 5-6 clips and 2 dura. TRASH.
What is this item for? I cannot delete it.
>>557364412>frenchlol niggerbut also, it's a quest item. take it into raid and throw it away if you're already done with that quest
>>557364412I don't read frog.
>>557363594>>557364281oh yea you guys are rightI was fighting rocketeers and missing shots, so I guess if the shot just goes into space then I guess you don't lose durabilityor I misremembered how much energy ammo I broughtpic related after firing 3 clips into the wall in practice range
>>557365098>3 clipsI meant 3 stacks of this
finally peanut showing off another exploit so they can fix itstreamers doing the hard work
>>557364412its for a quest
>>557359769I think it depends on what you're shooting at. You can easily completely wipe a level IV Ferro fighting a Queen/Harvester. While the legendary weapons will hold quality longer compared to the damage they do.
>>557366001I ended up looking the item up. I am not on the quest so I must have looted it off of a player somehow.
Did they reset the matchmaking again? Had to fold like 12 dudes today and normally I never fight. Lost to a double backshot from a toro user hiding in a corner too.
tried playing this game and i don't get it, am i missing something? this is the first extraction shooter i've played
>>557367839the game is shallow
>>557367938why is it so popular then? no offense, but to me it's really boring, repetitious, the gear feels pointless, looting feels pointless, the enemies are bullet spongesi was just playing and got bored so i alt f4'd with a purple in my inventoryi just don't at all get the game, though i've only played for 3-4 hours, so i was wondering if it gets good at some point
>>557368101>why is it so popular then?you need to understand that the internet of today is not the internet of yesteryear.popularity = more dumb faggots = more money = appeal to masses = shallow gamesto them, a "good environment to be social" is revolutionary.
>>557368101To add, I will bash your "bullet sponge" retardation regardless, as it's usually the thing normalniggers spew when they refuse to learn enemy mechanics.HD2 be the example of that mentality.
>>557367839>>557368101it's okay to not like a game. you don't need to make a stand about it.
>>557368560>when they refuse to learn enemy mechanicsso they're less spongey if you shoot them in the right spot?
>>557368721yeah for sure, was just wondering why my buddy wanted me to get it so bad, i was curious because some games you really do have to play for 10-20 hours before they get good, but it sounds like it's just not my kinda game
it really bothers the fuck out of me that they only do stella night raids during bird city... making me choose between potential bluepreezy's and my growing ducky collection... what do?
>>557368746Massively. If you were here when hullcracker got nerfed, people were whining at the top of their lungs (still do lol).It all stems from a lack of curiosity and willingness to test things out, to form an opinion of your own. Most people don't think beyond "nerf = bad", "buff = good" nowadays, they don't think about the wider picture of mechanics interlacing and interacting with eachother, which births shallow games and lackluster mechanics.Vidrelated is post-nerf from some anon.
>>557368901fuck itemsbird city is fun because you can just plap all the people running around on the roofs with an osprey
>>557368101The gameplay/gameplay loop is enjoyable. I think it's approachable which is a big feature that every other extraction shooter seems to lack. I think it's very middle of the road; the highs aren't as great as Tarkov but at the same time the lows aren't anywhere near as bad as Tarkov. I'm sure more depth with be added as the game releases but currently the item variety and story are basically non existent. Comparing it to a game like Tarkov is hard because that has had 10 years to develop.
>>557369245i think i just don't see the appeal of the genre as a whole, it's really really grindy, it reminds me of asian games in that way, it's just the same thing over and over, maybe i'm just too oldthanks guys, keep enjoying your game
>Hi Raider! yeah thats a quick way to get instantly shot.
>>557369626To be fair, PvErs need to learn how to defend themselves.
why is everything already fucking looted??? Do they want me to kill motherfuckers for their shit???
So how we feeling about ditching this piece of shit game for Marathon after our literal messiah Peanut said that game was better?Counting the hours until release, my boys
>>557369963>Do they want me to kill motherfuckers for their shit???Either that or hunt ARC cause it's much safer and less contested later into a raid.
>>557355892Me and Gingy playing Arc together
>>557369968I for one cannot wait for all you peanut faggots to go away forever.
>>557366505>french>niggermakes sense
reading the last thread and I have to post this for the seething jeet
anyone notice how this game is a Caucasian sausage fest...?I think I've heard like one PoC on the mic so far...
thank you for the Anvil 4 donation who ever shot me in the back. How do you lose to Venator 1 lol
>>557372768tbf, venny is OP
>>557146357>Barely anything in the game, lore, tutorial etc. encourages pvp.wish these goldfish memory redditors would stop acting like they know anything about anything
>>557373307>game literally tells you to watch your back>they still whineImpressive.
I got killed by another sheriff faggot today as I was watching some guy try to get the timing down for snap hook descents and messed up. I hate those fags so much

ok why are there so many brown people in chungartha now?
>>557373769maybe you're brown
I will gift a 30 dollar game on Steam to anyone that helps me get this achievement
>>557374120you really want that 100% do you?
>>557373996im white you are brown
>>557374179yeah its fun to get all the achievements in games
>>557374265>no uas I thought
>>557374280post the code, i'm down to help, I don't really care about the prize either desu
If you loot bots dont wanna get shot, literally just wear the default gear and everybody is going to think youre a newfag with nothing valuable.
>>557374385thats the thing, you cant get it with someone in your party, it has to be a random person
>>557374483well how do you propose to do it then? just RNG it? takes too much timeat this point just find some noob looting stuff and spam him with scanners and showstoppers
>>557374120and how do you propose that?
>>557374298curious.
>>557374120>>557374732how about this crossplay on, server NA, damn normal queue exactly at 2:15cst/3:15est meet at the water towers to the south
>>557374553>>557374732we can switch to some random server and queue up at the same time, post your position in the thread then light some flares to see if were actually in the same lobby
>>557375026You can see game id on the bottom left corner don't think itll be too hard to snipe the same lobby
>>557375013>>557375026get ready less than 3mins

never mind theres some le epic troll that just sniped me
>>557376937did you die?
I have 6 bobcats, 7 tempests, 4 vulcano, $5M but I just go to stella death match with free kit for hours
>>557376937Haha that was me
We got the achievement...The sniper ran when i went to fight him kek
youre gonna get Cybershit 2077 if you dont respond to me.
>>557377776lmao im good with that >>557377367stinky lil shiet
kek i hope he can run this monstrosity, and thanks to the sniper too cause I got another achievement for resing
>>557377905what there was two stinky poopoo heads
>>557378046i would hope so
fuck these faggots man, and fuck embark for not fixing this shit
>>557379869whats the issue?
>>557379869not fixing what? you refusing to get good?
>>557377508
>>557379942>>557380210>t. trio faggots
>>557381254there's no way this would work on a randoms. It took the Arc 5 business days to get there and start shooting
>>557381336and what's wrong with trios?
>>557381386Don't be coy. You know trios/duos/solos not being separate scoring is bullshit.
>>557374120did that during the duplication glitch and hopped on harvester and just spammed snitch scanners
>>557381439It's only bullshit for a few select trials.
>>557372281I saw two negroes run up on my brother while he was playing yesterdayHowever, they came to praise his bravery in charging at a Shredder and they all had a very chungarthan journey to extraction
6 show stoppers + 5 snitch scanners, I'm going to use it instantly on my allies at spawn
>>557381653Covering more ground in less time is bullshit, anon. Not just probes.
>>557384735>Not just probes.>He thinks you can dupe score.Yeah, just as I thought.
>>557385202It's not about scoring doubling or tripling per action, it's about multiple people in different spawn areas covering more ground. You're not this retarded, surely.
>>557385903>You're not this retarded, surely.A lot of retards parroting retarded shit that you can dupe score, gets annoying.
This game is dead as soon as The Division 3 comes out
It sucks how there's only one viable map/condition combo per trial.
>>557367457late reply, but it seems either common for them to reset your karmaor more likelythe "friendly lobby" system isn't a friendly lobby system, its a lobby for retards who cant kill another player, like what they do in fortnite, it would be safe to assume your "karma" slowly returns to 0 to put you in matches that the devs were expecting the playerbase to playthe consequence is, your karma resets to '0" and you defend yourself, essentially turning you into a "good player" and putting you into pvp lobbies
maybe ill keep my +1 if people dont farm over the weekend haha
>>557372281you dont hear them because they are the ones shooting you in the back
Hi all, i don't shoot anyone at all, i would like friendly matchmaking. But almost every game someone starts shooting for no reason. I don't even loot human bodies. Is there something i could be missing?
>>557388773you look like a victim
>>557387331I'm in the same boat, hope I get in the easy league like you for the next/final week.
>>557389306yea I might try and wait for the absolute last day and just cross my fingers
>>557389306also I s2g I hope they don't add snowballs to replace toxic swamp (unless it's already known what it's going to be because IDK)
>>557388773make sure not to shoot back, and in the post-game summary, it will have a button for "round feedback" make sure to give it a 1/5 and say the pvp experiencemake sure you only do this if you get shot, if you do it without getting shot the game thinks>oh he didn't like that peaceful lobby>ok lets give him some pvp
>>557389452oh man those suck and are all super farmable>trio>full inventory of snitch scanner x 3
>>557389306>>557389406actually I forgot that hotshot doesn't have divisions, maybe I played this wrong and should have stayed at daredevil 3 and then just shot for a promotion next week
>>557389749actually nevermind the wiki says >The exception to this is the Cantina Legend rank, which is reserved for the top 1000 players in Hotshot.
>>557389749>>557389828reddits technique is to derank to DD II and then double promotefor cantina legend, it is calculated every week taking into account all the 1000 highest trial scores in both Cantina Legend and Hotshot and then determining it from that, meaning you can derank from Cantina, but its relatively hard to derank from hotshot, since you have 60 non-promotion slots to stay safe inwhich also reddit pointed out "so you don't even have to try for Cantina Legend until the final week since that's the only week it will matter"
>>557368101Go back to Sims grampa.
Aphelion honestly doesn't seem that bad.>strong armor pen>25x2, 2.5x headshot modifier>no damage falloff>250 damage per mag>1 durability per mag>25000 lifetime damageOne big problem is combining enough vertical recoil reduction to make use of the double burst on long distances without kneecapping your ADS speed too much.So you either go>vert 2 + paddedwhich gives you 45% vert + 15% horiz, but it makes your holster speeds a bit worse.>or vert 3 + nothingfor 40% vert reduction.you can go vert 3 + padded but your ADS will take like 2 seconds.you can also go vert 3 + lightweight but it makes the gun almost unusable beyond 50ish meters.

Should I quit playing? This game is starting to feel like work(a job, a chore, repetitive, mundane, asinine, stagnant) and not fun anymore.
>>557402856Duh. Just wait for a new boss. Skins and fomo fuck off. I'm still having fun spamming Matriarch boss fights and will do 3rd expedition that way next time given all that matters is money and the occasional wierd expedition item to seek out.
>>557402856There is a reason most extraction shooters and similar games wipe progression periodically. Just go on stella and start pvping in the meantime.
>>557399265feels like they respawned, first one hit me out of nowhere, and then I started running when I heard the second oneand then just thought it was funny the 2nd one jumped 6ft in the air

So what’s the fastest way to get into friendly lobbies? Auto surrender, quick extract, long lobby play times without shooting another player?

Blonde hair still doesn't work and nobody's talking about it. What's going on with Sweden?
>>557409473Bitcoin bait from Tarkov.
The arc have been getting better at killing us and I'm here for it
>>557415996personally I like how the last 5 min will have tons of arc spawnits not every time, but when it does, it's pretty fun avoiding them, or killing them with other raiders
>>557327245No, I saw him playing it, Marathon looks fucking retarded
>>557330840Jump on top of it in Stella
>>557415728>Blonde hair still doesn't workWorks on piss5
>>557371275You make no sense?>>557418743The hair seems to be weird. Sometimes they work and others it will change the colour. It is like they have a shader on that doesn't function correctly in certain maps/lighting conditions instead of having a separate model/painted skin.
>>557406352>i havent yet killed anyone thoLooking forward to seeing your first time. Don't fuck it up by chasing. If someone jumps off a high place, don't follow, you'll limp like a retard. Reset the ambush or leave.If you lose sight of them for more than 2 seconds, don't chase. Let them reveal themselves again.
>>557415559Yes stealth is unfortunately not a really viable option. Arc don't die quietly and if you target players the flare gives it away too. It is fun to try to go Metal Gear with the skin anyways. The white version also gives vibes like The Boss. None of the faces quite match and there's no hair style that matches.I usually use it when I am just having fun. I'll bring it and a level IV Hairpin.
No way in hell I'm I following someone around corners, so they have a chance to throw explosive shit. I'm crouch walking backwards and listening to see if someone heals. And staying in a wide open random spot for a while, because the other pvpigger will be checking corners. If I can't kill him from there,>>557419301 I'll just retreat.
>>557420014>Yes stealth is unfortunately not a really viable optionWhat rocks are you smoking? Why the fuck would you shoot Arc when hunting for people? >Flare gives it awayGet a fucking room to kill him in, crouch and follow, don't switch guns or anything, no flashlight. Zero sound.Come on man. Don't be a... a shitter...
>>557420587>Why the fuck would you shoot Arc when hunting for people? Maybe I'm hunting Arc and not people? Also sometimes they spot you or you're required to pass them to get to other locations.>Get a fucking room to kill him in, crouch and follow, don't switch guns or anything, no flashlight. Usually I just wait in friendly lobbies for a rat and then counter-rat them.
>>557420767>Also sometimes they spot you or you're required to pass them to get to other locations.I disagree, you can escape and hide, Arc will fuck off. If you're patient. That's what I would do.>>557420767>Usually I just wait in friendly lobbies for a rat and then counter-rat them.Ok, but that lowers the difficulty. Hitting someone after they waste ammo on another guy, or take damage from the other guy, isn't the same as reaching that raider yourself. And doing 100% of the damage by yourself.The real deal is, taking out someone who has a full clip of ammo, and full shield/health.
>you have more EHP as a downed raider than you do with full health and a purple shield
>spawn into a solo night raid >29:30 left on the clock >walk down a hallway and open a door>get sprayed by two white boys who already managed to team up>get called a ratMore like “Ass Gayders” am I rite? Why are white men so scared to play solo as intended? You guys aren’t liberating land from colored people. Please stop playing like this. Nothing brings me more joy than camping extraction points and killing clowns who run around solo holding each others cocks. I don’t even care if I get knocked by arcs afterwards because a free loadout is enough to get the job done.Also >knock a player >josh turns his mic on and complains >5 white knights hunt you down as a pack for playing the game as intended ???
They need to tune down the attacks of the queens and matriarchs. The Queen has the perfect attack and how I think all attacks of the Queen and Matriarch should be, that one long laser beam the Queen does. It is perfectly telegraphed, but you can still dodge it with timely jumps. Its other attack is much more hit-scan and way too hard to dodge. And the Matriarchs missles, maybe you dodge one or two but it sends a gazillion your way at instant speed.>Get behind cover!!!That is exactly the problem, when you give these bosses undodgeable attacks, that means your only option is to hide behind a wall somewhere only peeking out AFTER its attack is finished and that makes for such unfun gameplay. Again, that one Queen laser beam is perfect. Has a noticeable wind-up, you can dodge the beam without having to cower behind a wall. It engages you with the boss and you feel like you're playing a game. When the attack is too difficult and the best option is to hide behind a wall, that is not fun and turns yet another thing in the game into peeking corner simulator.
>>557421551stop noticing
>>557317046>be peaceful herbivore>avoid confrontation even when attacked>finally get into a situation where i get attacked and have to fight back if i want to live>knock the other guy down and leave him alone afterwards>get excommunicated into the PvP realm because apparently the system believes i went out of my way to engage in PvPis this the system working as intended? genuinely asking

<Am getting double teamed>Am getting ratted noooooArc isn't a fast game. You should take your time and hide in random places to listen, gather info.Arc is not about running around.
>>557425265>am getting double teamed>am getting ratted cry about it bitch
>>557425663That's not happening to me, it's happening to other anons. I don't even want to disrespect them, this actual advice. Slow down and listen, you'll know where people are.
>>557421551185 with full perks.
>>557424557spend a few matches with free loadouts and don't attack anyone no matter what
>>557424557technically yes, but i'd rather it was less about purist faggotry and more about shifting proportions.
>>557425265I specifically posted "kek" at the end of the story because I found it humorous
>>557420014Yeah learning that the hairpin is actually harder hitting than half the guns in the game per shot makes it decent to use at level 4.Also MGS4 unlocking for PC use is going to be sick, 60FPS 4K movie confirmed.

>>557425940>NOOOO>YOU HAVE TO LET ME SHOOT YOU IN THE BACK>I DONT KNOW HOW TO KILL A LEAPERlol
I want to mix up my gameplay. But when a raider sees me I get nervous, heart racing, hands freezing. For me, this game is stressful. I have no problem playing BF6 and Overwatch.
>>557431815cause pvp is optional here
>>557431809>>YOU HAVE TO LET ME SHOOT YOU IN THE BACK90% of my kills are face to face, BUT, people don't know I'm in front of them.>>557431815>I want to mix up my gameplay. But when a raider sees me I get nervous, heart racing, hands freezingMaybe you're a lil bit retarded, it's ok. Just do it, you'll be fine.
>>557421543>clip
>>557421912Imagine being this black.
>>557424065Peeking is fine. Also you can shoot the missiles out of the air.Personally I'd rather peek.
>>557431815Personally I haven't started pvping yet. Only defended myself. If you go in with the intent of murdering people and accepting the repercussions it should ease your anxiety. Going in with the intent of maybe looting, maybe shooting will just end with you reverting to what you do best, but at worse performance.
>>557334215I'm still near the same rank, maybe I'll make it unless people suddenly feel like farming on the final day
>>557425265Everything will be picked clean in 1 minute or less

>>557439883they seemed to make sure a hostile guy is in most lobbies now, I'll do something simple like help someone kill a leaper from a distance thinking its some guy with a friendly with him, then he starts looting and gets a clip emptied into his back
>>557439883>>557441501they either messed with matchmaking, or its just that many people coming back to the game and if they're bad they're going to be put in lobbies where people don't even shoot other people
>>557440715Is it just me or does the Matriarch summon WAY more now? I've seen that bitch pop out like 2-3 leapers, 2-3 bastions, AND 2-3 bombardiers in a single fight, not to mention all the pops and ticks
>>557441501a jeet is lurking around every corner, always ask for them to speak in mic to verify that they are white. if brown you better watch yourself
>>557441501>>557443113not talking is also suspiciousnot hard to use your wheel and go "hey raider"

>>557444712This is the wayGonna get this post printed on a flag and fly it
Watching some of these cutscenes about life before/during the first wave of ARC invasion, I wish there were some showing what it actually looked like when all these drones and big killing machines dropped down on these densely populated cities. I bet that would be fucking insane. Imagine how many people just a plain Wasp could kill in a crowded street or apartment tower full of people unprepared for that kind of shit. And the ticks, despite being a joke for prepared people, would be nightmare fuel for an average person going through their day-to-day life.
>>557446658o/
tried PvP triosthis is the faggiest faggot shit of all time how could anyone possibly enjoy this kind of gameplay
>>557450661I think you have to have friends to enjoy it, otherwise you get retards on your teamif you're an actual pvper, this game sucks for pvp, and just good for streamers to "look cool"
This is 100% factual: I played drunk last night, don't remember a single raid, and today I woke up in Chungartha. I've been in wholesome chungus raids before but this is another level, nobody shoots, nobody even runs around with a weapon drawn. Every other raid or so you get someone that tries to pvp and the whole lobby joins up to kill them. I've never seen Chungartha like this before The thing is that I hate it and I don't want to be here, but I also would feel bad about shooting these wholesome chungus pve'ers in the back, so I'm just stuck in Chungartha for the time being. It's really boring. Like maybe 4 or 5 rounds max like this would be fine but eventually I want some shitheads in my lobbies
>>557443113if they're brown, don't turn around
>>557452540a non-asshole way to get out of it is to just drop guys near extract, but don't kill them. they can still get out with their stuff, but you get moved to more aggressive lobbies where you aren't just stomping on innocent people
>>557443043there's definitely more than before. I've been having fun taking out the additional spawns in matriarch fights lately
>>557452540I'm in the same boat. I bought the game about two weeks ago and have around 15 hours. I haven't even been shot at once and I haven't even come across a single non-white player.
>>557452828Nice, might give that a try. There's no "fun" way to get out of Chungartha I guess, but I just don't fit in there. Gonna have to do it
>>557452540people don't like admitting it but the tension of possibly being backstabbed or gunned down is important. when you're always afraid of being ratted then you crave for Chungartha, but when you're in Chungartha you realize why the fear of being ratted makes the game more exciting
>>557453807the mythical tension. I thought you fags stopped talking about that
>>557453931i've been playing the game for maybe two weeks and just came to this conclusion, i dunno anon
>>557453807I completely agree, and I think most players would. But a lot of these dudes in Chungartha seem to earnestly enjoy it there
Isn't the easiest way to get into pvp lobbies is to join duos and trios? I've only done solo and assume squads are all KOS.
>>557454172For get loot and objectives completed its the only way to play.
>>557455948PvPers don't want PvP lobbies
>Go to 4chins to see what nerds like me are discussing>They have (((anxiety))) and shaking hands when game gets aggro
>>557453807I think both have their place. Duos/Trios are more fun for PVP lobbies.Alone PVP is terrible because it's mostly one person hiding in a corner to instantly kill another or people being fake friendly for easy kills. It's not compelling.
>>557458990Cheese
>>557458990>Alone PVP is terrible because it's mostly one person hiding in a corner to instantly kill anotherYes and that also turns into a 1V1V1 if you don't insta-kill the first guy. 60% of the time I have to escape, because firstnegro dodged with 0.1 HP and I hear the footsteps of a thirdnegro. No no no, am not doing that third-party shit. Nope
>Haven't played in days>load up to do trials>Have level 4 hullcracker, jupiter, 6 wps etc etc >get downed>no mic raider appears and walks up nto start knock out animation Yeah I think I'm ready to quit this game soon. There's nothing to do and it's retarded to bring 100s of thousands in gear for some poor nigger who can't do matriarch and never seen a jupiter before to take my stuff >MUH EXTRACTION Nigger I'm doing hot shot trials. No one cares about you killing each other over sticher 4s and Venator 4s. I am essentially playing an entirely different game than you. I'm just tired of this all feeling like a job but also having to deal with all the rat niggers who will go out of their way to invalidate hours of my time.
>>557460879I would bandge you to a hatch. I wanted to shoot someone to mix it up a bit, but when people talk and just go loot it makes feel like a cunt aiming at them
>>557460879yea, whats the point of even loading in with a hullcracker or anything if some rat scum is going gun you down instantly
>>557460879Everytime you talk about your time, you are casting your pearls before swine. Niggers have no concept of time. It's one of the main reasons they are such niggers in the first place.
>try to do trials>placed into lobbies late>Get placed into lobby early but it's a pvp lobbyI'm done
>>557436284>>557334215if I get bumped off I'm going to be pissed
>>557460879Only trannys care about trials beyond 3 stars.
>>557466149These scores are on the lower end. I only have 2 done and I'm at 60k. Post your scores for each trial.
>>557466224You can either do pvpOr you can do Trials and Queens.There is pretty much nothing else to do late game and it's nearly impossible to do pvp then expect to do trials at any decent level in a pvp lobby. So they're pretty much mutually exclusive. >in before some retard talks about pvping while carrying hullcrackers and a dozen wolfpacks or some other retard talks about being able to kill 6 cycles of rocketeers with a sticher 4.
>>557466149I have a feeling we are going to get pushed off, unless somehow nobody feels like farming the final day, like that other anon said, compared to the guys getting 100k, our scores are kind of lowish (mine even lower)idk about you but I cannot for the life of me get a good lobby to farm anything, I've just given up, also don't like that yesterday half my lobbies had someone hostile in them killing people doing trials>>557466597NTA but if I remember right, he has similar scores, but he's got like 20k more shredder score
>>557467075yeah bro this seems pretty low. I did shredder and got 35k and while doing that I ended up getting 12k fireballs not even trying to. Just did fireball seriously but had a ton of people in my lobby idling around and still managed 25kish. I know I've done 30k easily for rocketeers previously and that was only using a jupiter and not spamming wolfpacks. what are you guys doing? are you only using anvils? I'm wondering how your scores are so low if you're trying. honestly my scores wouldn't even be close to what they are if I weren't watching Valliates routes and strategies but if you are watching someone I don't get how you can get such low scores.
>>557467575personally just cant get a good lobby for it, but yea I follow that guys tips and routes tooprobably just RNG or playing at the wrong time, I only realized recently its probably best to queue for something at the last minute so new people can't queue into the raid when people start extracting outprobably just need to play more aggressively and set up ziplines sooner so I can hit up spawns, but maybe its a friendly lobby thing, but if I bring in hullcracker then so do like 2-3 other raiders
>fucking around on dam harvester>don't really need anything since I have 8 million coins and about to wipe>puzzle is done and queen is dead>just walking around with like 4 people>suddenly start getting sniped from the top of the dam>everyone starts runnin up that hill and charging him>we're getting ripped to shreds because nobody has any meds left after the queen>we see the zipline he used to get onto the building roof>get downed before I can go in>crawl away and have a last conversation with my comrade>"bro..... take my snaphook... and flank him">die>queue into the next dam harvester with an osprey and snaphook up to that building's roofIf you can't beat em join em

>redditors finally calling stella pvp 'gears of war 3'Took them long enough
I'm guessing they are running out of shitty outfits if they can't release them weekly anymore
>>557471431I had a sticher but here's the thing. Even if I win i am losing lots of time and meds and falling behind on spawn cycles but in addition to that. After that current raid is over I am now placed into multiple pvp servers so I'm effectively losing even more time and missing out on currently active events. Let's say the trial I need to complete is best attempted on Hidden Bunker or Locked Gate. That means that instead of simply running it again I am now locked out of attempts until half a day or even the next day later. But PvP nigger brains have no concept of anything which i speak because you only care about stealing trinkets.
>>557472952>Let's say the trial I need to complete is best attempted on Hidden Bunker or Locked Gate.this is probably the biggest painespecially since you try to use all 40min very likely you can only queue it twice unless someone murders you right at the beginning, and then its making sure you can actually replace all your stuff>me not running out of simple gun parts to craft any good gunbut that's on me, not the game
>>557472353>notmyproblem.jpg
>>557467075I've had good luck with getting friendly lobbies in solos, but bad luck with RNG. Like I tried the leaper trial again on cold snap dam battleground and only got 2 (1.5 the first time because at least 2 other people were doing it, second time it was like they never respawned).
>>557473698I did hear a tip from that one guys videos that solo farmsRocketeers share spawns with Leapers and can block the spawn, I know Hornets can block Rocketeer spawns, so I end up making sure I kill any hornets and rocketeers and that seems to make them show up more
>Friends want to run free kits on Stella Montis>But I'm firmly in civilized matchmaking and haven't had a pvp encounter since last week.>It's actually comfy as fuck and I don't wanna ruin it.
>>557473848Yeah that makes sense, there were a lot of rocketeers on the second try.
>>557474665second steam account and family share with it, able to make one PvE and the other PvP
>>557415728>Blonde hair still doesn't work and nobody's talking about it.>>557429489>It looks fine until you go into map and then the hair is dark brownJust checked, it's clearly blonde
>>557472952>Even if I win i am losing lots of time and meds and falling behind on spawn cycles but in addition to that.Okay? This isn't a singleplayer/pve game. It's not supposed to be easy. The tension that comes from the possibility of dying to players that are a thousand times smarter than the robots is what gives your victories meaning. Not sure why you are complaining, unless you just don't recognize this. Your mindset may need adjusting.ABMM is retarded cancer. But the flip side of that, means that you wouldn't be allowed to tank your rating and go into carebear lobbies to ezmode the trials, and since all lobbies would be naturally mixed, you would have that to complain about. Completely right about the predictable, non randomized schedule for map events though, there's no defending that.
>>557472353average rescue raider moment
>>557476056what am I looking at, you stabilized him but then knocked out, why?
>>557472861>Trying to live service>Can't match the volume output of other live serviceIt should take a character artist less than two weeks to make a new cosmetic outfit. I bet they've become relaxed and only leisurely work and forgot what it's like to fight for contracts.If they have multiple artists working on these outfits they can put one out every week, it's a snowball effect of profit the more they put in the bigger the profit margins but they are hamstringing their sales to every two weeks?Skittle daycare for their devs.
>>557476523I don't get it, at least the wolf outfit was the first one that actually looks good, even without the pels its actually nice looking
>>557476056This is the reason you disable crossplay. Specifically to avoid this unholy nigger right here.
>>557473592
>>557476481>what am I looking atI told him he can go, bandaged him so he believes me. And crawls his ass inside
>>557476056this is faggotry, just said to look at
how many stacks of hullcracker ammo do you guys usually bring
>>557476968>consoletard is the tranime poster as wellShocking. I am shocked.
does this game have something of a long term objective or a story progression through the quests or is it from start to the end just a "one more game"/repeat kind of thing
>>557477319>just said to look atSomeone's gotta do it. The original PvPjeet(before newfag) can't get kills. He posted one, getting lucky shots in the back.
>>557476192you are retarded and completely missing my points
>>557478048There's really isn't an end game. The quests currently don't really share a story, just the start of one.
>>557478159I think you are the one who is missing the point of a pvpve extraction shooter. You're not supposed to be able to accomplish all your goals every single time. If you don't understand, then just stop playing.
I used a 2nd game share account just to learn how to pvp well. I suck at pvp, and this game has pvpers that kill me because I'm trusting. I'm doing nothing wrong.
How does this game have so many players but so few rule34
>>557479079its just not a horny gameI'm waiting for the bikini skins still
>>557479079>so few rule34Normalfags who don't fund lewd artists bought the game. They watch peanut on TV's and phone, play nothing but Arc, Minecraft, Fortnite, or Candy Crush. 14 million sold, 6 million weekly active players.
>>557478993>I suck at pvp>I'm doing nothing wronglmao
>>557479530Yes?
>Play mixed lobbies>They have less trusting peopleBypass this by pretending to be new and retarded. Say "Hi, hello, haha", instead of "friendly", or "I'm new".They expect you to lie bout being friendly. Then add "Hi, yes I'm looking for Battery. I'm looking for battery I upgrade work bench, hello".They will believe you're a harmless retard, then it's time to crouch walk to them, when they shoot Arc.
>>557479729Sucking at pvp and trusting random browns is a terrible combo brother I hope you get better at either one
>>557476056>consolefaggot>chimping aboutif they could steal the cars in this game they would
>>557478896I am not playing a pvp extraction. I am in friendly servers 99% of the time retard. I am playing a completely different game than you that you do not know anything about. Stick to extraction camping or collecting medium shields in 3s or whatever you poorfags do.
>>5574773752 stacks for 3 total minibosses like rocketeers, bombadier, bastion. 4 I guess for unloading into Matriarch but I dont waste ammo on that besides stripping the legs. Make sure you land those expensive ass shots.
>>557481223>I am playing a completely different gameAnd yet, you are here complaining about failing to secure your own safety and getting ganked like a fucking retard.Of course you're gonna get disappointed if you go in without an expectation of PvP into a game with PvP and then whine that you failed to anticipate that it can happen.
>>557481910NTA but he can complain about whatever he wants, just like you, so complaining about complaining is a mute point, just saying
>>557482192>People have the right to be retardedThey do, doesn't really make them less retarded though.>Dies to ARCBack in ye olden days he would just be told to git gud.
>>557482364you can just say that, just pointing how that complaining about someone complaining is kind of dumb
i would like to complain about constantly having to repair shit
>>557482541It is on a surface level, but at the end of the day we live in a world of corporations chasing money and in an era of information and internet filled with idiots and morons, so here I am explaining basic bitch game concepts to idiots who couldn't be arsed to read the fucking description.
>>557482712its going to suck when I don't do expedition anymore and don't get that huge repair boost
>>557482712Necessary evil, unfortunately. The game doesn't have enough resource sinks as is, loot is simply too abundant.You can do expeditions though.
>meet a friendly guy>hang out for a few games>talk him into a stella night raid>bring my good pvp gear just in case>we kill like 4 other teams in straight up fights>get ambushed and wiped on the way out
>>557481910You are a fucking retard. Post your Trial Rankings or shut the fuck up. Doing trials for top scores isn't the same as running 3s.
>>557483386ok nigger
>8 hours of looking today>not a single one
I should really farm shredders, but I don't want to get shot in the back and lose a hullcracker+ammo
>>557483445My shredder and fireball trials are higher so you are in fact a retard nigger.
>>557483517>he breaks his back for an attempt at cantinaImpressive retardation considering that you whine about PvP.I accept your concession.
>>557483614>Impressive retardation considering that you whine about PvP.It happened WHILE I was doing my trial you fucking illiterate monkey brained pvp nigger.
>>557483502Use ANY ANY game, find a shredder and lure it to an object you can circle around. You wait for shredder to shoot, then peak out after and shoot the blue jets on the bottom.You never get hit if youre doing it right AND the blue jets fall over and make it slower.
>>557483736I don't have a problem with the shredders, its other players
>>557483736he's talking a rats esl
>>557483712Yea, all my trials are done in "PvPhell", as you nigs call it.>NOOOOO PVP CANT HAPPEN WHEN I DO TRIALSGit gud fag.
>>557483792>>557483807I know, Im saying why bring a hullcraker to farm shredders. Play it safe. I use LVL 4 hairpin.
>>557483808No they aren't. Stop lying or post your game recordings
>>557483906isn't it more efficient to just fire 2-3 hullcracker shots into it and not fuck around with it? you need to keep moving for a high score, but maybe they die quicker than I think, it usually takes me like 12 anvil shots, and by that time I should be at the next shredder
>>557483907I'm not wasting 2 hours keyframing the name of my duo out of the clips for some mongoloid nigger who couldn't read a game description.
>>557484024You can pretty much 2 shot them if you land good shots. People saying use any gun are ppl who aren't in leader boards
>>5574840242 shots to the crotch and they die, yea.3 if you hit one of the armored petals.
>>557484146>cheating leader boards >bragging about cheated scoresFuck off and stop inserting yourself into trail discussions
>>557484293>having a friend is cheatingGet a load of this faggot, kekIf you're a social chungus lil niglet, just find a friend lmao.
How can I give myself blueprints Im saving for reset?
>>557483483Life well spent
>>5574844392 accounts, virtual machine and a PC that can run 2 games at a time.Or just get a buddy, get into a steam family, make a 3rd account and mule everything into there.
>they were trio scores
>>557484520>virtual machine and a PCmy dumbass should remember this, I was using an old laptop
>>557484917I bet you're the same faggot who thinks you can dupe score in trios due so some imaginary oversight that doesn't exist.
Why are Fireballs so hard to kill? Bullet sponges.
>>557485132Wait for them to open and only then shoot.It can't be that hard to figure that out right?
>>557485198There was no warning for that. How was I suppose to nkw?
>>557485335It takes an hour of gameplay at best to deduct that ARC armor plating is primarily black colored (esp on hornets as your primary learning source) and noticing that fireballs open up their black shell into a white core.The core has 12HP if I'm not mistaken? It dies to pretty much everything.If you have an anvil/ferro you can pierce straight through and onetap them through the armor plating.
>>557481223You are playing the same game as everyone else dude. The only difference is that you made up some rules in your head, and now you're seething that other people didn't play by them. Go back to the playground with your everything-proof shield. PVP is hardcoded into the game. Adapt or perish.
>Jupiter burns through 0.793 durability per shot >126 shots per 100 durability>7560 lifetime damage, potentially double if damaging a bodypart + core in the same shotIt's not as bad as people say it is, but it's still shit.Accuracy and range is great though.
>>557485974What's the math on the Aphelion?
>>557486178I had a post here >>557394859So that's 0.1 durability per shot, or 0.2 per burst.
Just extracted from a queen event as a solo against trios. I downed so many players and caused so many deaths by sniping with the osprey from the control tower. This must be how the IDF feels.”
>>557424557Yah. Swede are faggot cucks that believe self defense is aggression. Just go in nakedness 10x and KYS back to Chungartha.
>>557486289Am I regarded or is it 538k coins for 27k damage to wear out the Aphelion? I used to prefer the Equalizer due to raw melting but then the Jupiter for penetration but looking at the numberes despite the second shot whiffing, I think the Aphelion is optimal.
>>55748757025k is a bit of an estimate, currently shooting out a full aphelion in the practice rangeit seems there are very minor rounding happening so it's probably somewhere close to 25.5-26-ish kbrb
>>557487685Materials cost on some wiki states the value as 38,500 coins crafting value for it.Then its 5k per energy clip which how many is needed to wear it down entirely, is my question.I wonder if that tens to hundreds of thousands of coin value being spit out worth the convience of acquiring the materials back to craft a replacement or repair?
>>557485132They're covered in armor. Heavy ammo guns like ferro or anvil oneshot them through it, unless you hit that circular sideplate that pops out, which seems to be tougher plating than the rest.Medium/light guns, you have to shoot off an armor plate, then hit the exposed center in the same area again to blow them up. If all else fails, wait for them to get close and open up to spray you, then blast the exposed center for an instakill. Be sure to roll backwards immediately to avoid getting roasted by the resulting fire pool though.
>spent 2 nights farming for my expedition >got to go full schoolshooter on the chungarthans18 kills, let's gooo.I might start doing this more often, even though pvebabs have less goop.
>>557487570Alright the exact data is in.>0.0991 durability per shot, double per burst>1009 lifetime shots or 25225 lifetime damage>100+1 energy clips (100k if crafted, 300k if bought) remember first clip is free when entering raid.>>557487959Jupiter needs 25 energy clips, meaning 63500 coins per 100 durability, ~503 coins per shot or ~8.4 coins per damage dealt.It can potentially be as low as ~3.7 coins per shot if you consistently hit crazy shit like piercing the face of a bastion hitting the core and then piercing the canister, but let's be real that's never happening. On average you're gonna be operating on a 1.5x efficiency from baseline which is ~5.6 coins per damage.Aphelion is 138500 coins to burn it out fully, which is ~137 coins per shot or ~5.4 coins per damage dealtAll in all they are pretty even economically wise, Jupiter breaks faster but eats less ammo, Aphelion is the opposite.
>>557488773>~3.7 coins per shotCoins per damage, mb.
Confirmed, fully friendly lobbies are now gone.
>>557488869Time for PvEtards to learn how to defend themselves.ABMM still needs to be slightly fixed to account for self defense, though.
>>557488773Interesting, I appreciate the efforts and mathing.>>557488869qrd?
>>557489218To add, even despite being economically similar you are putting much more at risk with an Aphelion because you are expecting to burn through less durability and bring more ammo, which puts you at a massive economical disadvantage if you die and at at inventory disadvantage because of the inventory space you're using.The ARC armor penetration is also Strong instead of Very Strong, but due to the double burst it shouldn't matter much for most enemies.It is a MASSIVELY better PvP weapon though considering theoretical hitscan projectiles and 0 damage falloff while being more agile (especially considering the lack of the shot delay as on Jupiter).
>>557476056I genuinely believe that posts like this are falseflags to make people who engage in pvp look like mongoloids. Or is it just consolefags?
>>557489423The guy is just bad at the game, yet still enjoys some form of PvP.PvEtards constantly die to ARC as well, so it's a skill issue on both sides here.
holy fucking dead as shit thread and general
>>557490942yeah? Game releases, people have their fun, people leave.

>>557488869>fully friendly lobbies are now gone.If it is ill probably quit or stop attempting trials seriously.

>>557479404that and even the best looking skins are only decent. there are no skins that make me want to own it right now
what if you could insure your loadout and give every piece of equipment you spawn in with a certain percentage chance of returning
>>557494056I think they want you to just craft extra shit in case you die
>>557494056I would do that purely because crafting a new one can be a pain. sometimes I stop playing for the day when I die
>>557492806retard
>>557494056Loot is already abundant. The game needs more loot sinks, not less.
I'm tired, boss
>finally buy the game because a friend tells me he still loves playing it after 2 months>currently not online, so I check it out solo after the tutorial>see drone, shoot it>doesn't die after 3 magdumps, aggros second drone>decide to fall back to the bunker I emerged from>while healing, some dude runs in and assblasts meOk, I'm not going to play this game solo then.
>>557497628it's worse as groups, just play solo and don't shoot anyone even in retaliation and you'll get into friendly lobbies

so I guess those lazy Danish fucks at Embark just straight gave up and put the game into maintenance mode now, huh? made all that cash off this game and are going to dump half of it into developing another title and the other half on sex toys and poppers, what an absolute waste, I hope Marathon destroys this game, devs have cut and run
>>557495938Need special arc spawners you can craft with stitch scanners + cores to call in big boys for shits and giggles and maybe even tactical purposes. Dumb or esoteric physic based stuff like jump packs or teleporters. Deployable workstations where you can craft ammo or other useful field stuff. Expensive item locaters or even corpse locaters you can throw that'll highlight these fucking downed raiders who crawl into a bush and can't be seen in the abyssal dark lighting system.
>>557504810All excellent ideas that probably won't ever get added
>>557504810best Embark can do is a new weather condition on a 2 hour timer, now piss off and enjoy the deep and fulfilling endgame
>>557479079Has zero attractive women. Celeste is the closest. There is one lewd I've seen and her face is completely different.
>>557482192Complaining is a social construct.
Solos, duos, and trios all being in the same lobbies should be the default matchmaking. Battledad type faggots are not ready to have this conversation.
>>557488773>remember first clip is freeThats how they get you.
>>557489393>It is a MASSIVELY better PvP weaponWhile true, I think I would rather snort broken glass and hot sauce than use it for pvp.
>>557491617Embark is dropping a new map and enemy at the very least after the expedition. Marathon looks tranny coded. I sincerely hope you peanut faggots flock over to that game though.
>>557503732you perpetuate the cycle of ratting bro.. break the cycle...
>>557507316We don't want to be matched with greasy sweatlord neets. The fact that we have to be on the same Internet is disgusting to me. I wish you fat retards would just have your arms amputated from diabetic complications already just so I would have to see your posts less.
>>557508147>new mapit's going to be another stella>new big arcit's going to be a reskinned bastion/grenadier combo
>>557503732IQ of 80 and you write like it
>>557510051Thanks. I just shot someone in the back of the head who wasn't paying attention. Some nigger spamming nigger bop music through his open mic tried to avenge him by rushing up with his anvil 4. He got 2 shots on me before missing the third because I rolled and popped him with a renegade 1 and downed him because he wasn't healed. I called it embarrassing, knocked him, and then I got friend requests from both of them. One of them literally tried friending me on steam as I typed this up.Imagine the seethe.
>>557510237Is this sixth or seventh partied?
>>557510298It was a different game that I just extracted successfully from, with that guy's anvil 4. The game before that, I ran into a huge fight with 6 bodies in the middle of buried city and I could have easily killed the last one who was stabilizing another to the hatch. Instead I looted the bodies and revived him with a defib I found, and we all went our separate ways. Why do people hate dynamic gameplay like this? Barely any other games on the market allow for it.
>>557510520I don't believe you. browns can't act civilized
>>557510780As I have repeatedly told you, whites conquered the world, and still rule most of it, through force. There is a reason why America is able to drop two 30 thousand pound bunker busters on Iran and face no consequences. Not to mention hundreds of random drug smugglers getting drone'd. Whites are capable of both great violence, and great society building.
>>557511249Ok boomer so why is America less than 50% white now? Is it because you're a retard stuck in the past? Is that it?
How do I stop being dogshit at solo pvp. Every time I just get caught with my pants down and don't manage to do more than like 40 damage.
>>557512652Because most people are cattle, to whom reality does not matter. Such as people who bring up race apropos of nothing when talking about a video game where players are allowed to shoot each other, to protect their own ego or something.
>>557512865Play CSGO for 10 years or something.
>>557317046Is this game still the same repetitive shit as when I stopped playing about one month ago?And is this general still about constant PVP vs. PVE bitching?
>>557514037I only play it for a few hours each week. I'm level 45 and never done an expedition. I think it's fun still even though my duo buddy is terrible. I got bored at one point but eventually switched to just going on matriarch and Queen runs and it revived my love of the game. >>557509332Isn't there supposed to be a water level?
>>557514037why the fuck would the game fundamentally change in 1 month you fucking idiot? nobody cares if you quit kill yourself
>>557512865bro your 14 noisemakers? your labyrinth of gas and shock mines?
maaan, first place in my bracket has 190k and I know that's not even super tryharding given trio abusinglast guy above the cutoff is more than 15k below me though, so there's some hope
>>557514957>check my scoredamn, maybe I'll try if Stella night comes up to farm shredders, I just don't have the energy for it and everyone is doing them
>>557512865if you want to see "success" in pvp, stop playing the game like an extraction shooter and start playing it like, iunno, oldschool rainbow 6 or somethinglurk hidden around high traffic/value areas on maps and just "watch" how people playing it as an extraction shooter act - see where they path, where they look/aim, the places they loot, and how they behave when other raiders are nearby vs notyour goal to "succeed" at pvp is not a high-noon standoff gunslinger, it's ambushing/ganking, with a quick finish and a quicker exfiltration from that local zone on the map to avoid becoming a target of opportunity yourself - if you're in a fair fight or they survive your initial ambush, just gtfo and reset elsewhere - you did something wrong
>go to plaza rosa>get in first>hear guy behind me>get behind cover>he comes in and is pre aiming (he is expecting people because he heard me, and this is a high aggression pvp lobby)>peek out, we both shoot at the same time>he downs me with a vulcano>calls me a fucking ratI've noticed a lot of people who play this game act legitimately brain damaged. They can't just say "get owned" or "gg ez" or call you a fag, they have to posture and pretend like you did something seriously wrong after any conflict, that you violated some unwritten rule by playing a certain way, even when they are playing the exact same way.
>>557515493At this point I have no idea what rat even means. >>557515394>>557514957TFW have a family so I can't get beyond the first few levels of trials
>>557515493it makes me feel better and you feel like shitthat's all that matters
>>557516210based
>>557516210Actually it just makes me feel like I'm the only thinking human being playing a game invested by normalniggers who don't know what words mean.
>>557515394>everyone is doing themthat's the biggest problem with the "wait until evening of the final day" strategyI would kill for a bug or expoloit (or feature) that generates a private lobby for shit like the shredder/fireball/rocketeer kill tasks. My kingdom for a "private raid" legendary consumable key that spawns a personal instance.>>557515493they won't call you a faggot because it's a thoughtcrime and bannable in currentyearI hate the modern internet/online gaming spaces have devolved to the point where good old generic shittalking with insult of choice after you kill or get killed in an online game with open voice comms is somehow shocking and terrible and offensive and the naughtiest thing you can dogaming becoming corporatized/mainstream and allowing normies to think they and their inane meatspace political bullshit are welcome was a mistake>>557515819I don't even care all that much about it, the reward outfit is pretty mid, I'm more interested to see how someone solo who is "trying" but not completely tryharding or abusing trio scoring will end upnot like there's much else to do at this point
>>557515819>TFW have a family so I can't get beyond the first few levels of trialsI don't even have that excuse, I'm honestly just really casual at the game, and seemingly have the worst luck because I'll bring in an expensive loadout and then die to some level 1 steam account, I probably don't deserve Hotshot anyway, just thought the skin was kind of cool and you can kind of exploit leaderboards for an easier time
>>557516523>My kingdom for a "private raid" legendary consumable key that spawns a personal instance.that would actually be cool, I'm sure someone will complain about not being able to shoot youI guess part of the difficulty of the game is supposed to be competing with other players and murdering them if they are doing the same trial, but feels lame, hoping the costmetics after this season are shit so I can just 3* and forget about it
>>557514957>>557515394get fucked idiots(jk its my 2nd account)
>>557516571>>557516523I'm just jealous at dudes who can really grind these trials. Usually if I threw star something I get knocked out on my way to extract despite being in Chungartha. Such is life. At this point all I want is to find all the blueprints.
>>557517223crazyI can't even remember the last time someone shot at meI mean, I still hear the occasional flare go off but obviously avoid that part of the map when it happensI am pretty good about traversal routes that path near the high-value areas without going straight through them though, and I'm very careful about sight lines in general so there's always much easier prey aroundat least until extract when I'm just chilling with a guitar keeping the final post-countdown train/lift open to the final allowed second - have successfully saved 2 folks to far doing that, it's always funny hearing them scream and swear over openmic as the timer hits zero then be all surprised they aren't dead yet as they sprint into the extract
>>557515462>your goal to "succeed" at pvp is not a high-noon standoff gunslinger, it's ambushing/ganking, with a quick finish and a quicker exfiltration from that local zone on the map to avoid becoming a target of opportunity yourself - if you're in a fair fight or they survive your initial ambush, just gtfo and reset elsewhere - you did something wrongThis plus social engineering Call me it ratting if you want, but this is how you winOld school mmo, sea of thieves, amogus players understand this
>>557514325Thanks, might go back to moderately playing it. Matriarch and Queens runs were fun, but I got salty and quit when a rat stole my hullcracker and good shield. So much effort to craft that shit and all the ammo.>>557514404(You) are useless to the conversation
>>557518727thinking it takes anything more than a trivial amount of effort to get a hullcracker and ammo, and presumably a heavy shield, just shows you weren't very good at the game to begin withso nothing of value was lost when you left, and you should probably stay away
>>557518727>>557519121for me, its not effort, but time, just annoying to refarm everythingI wonder if a bunch of players are returning and trying to catch up for the 2nd expeditionpvpers think hullcrackers and their ammo are good because you can sell them for a lot
>>557519381given they lowered the cost for max point gain from the expedition, I wouldn't be surprisednot that the 5 million number was the actual problem from the first expedition, but they gave us more than 1-week's notice this time around too
>>557519840and catch up mechanic if they didnt farm the first one, I know one guy only did 2mil
>>557520062that part I don't actually likeif you missed it you should have missed it, otherwise why not also let people doing their first expedition now (new players for example) also "catch up"?
>>557520389I think cause they ended up changing the requirements, and how much seethe there was from casual players who probably shouldn't get the skill points anyway, made them change their mind
>>557514325>Isn't there supposed to be a water level?yes its going to be some beach map, new arc is likely going to be the tower looking thing, pic related.
>>557520493I understand why they most likely did it, and in theory this should be a onetime thing, I still don't like it though.
>>557519381I just buy the gun and craft as much ammo as I can, then but the rest I need. That said, I've gone from like 1min to 600k coins as a result of a random pvp encounter or just not getting any cores or good loot from the martriach or queen despite doing most of the damage.
What weapon kills wasps the fastest?
>>557520903>large land walking ARC with the rocketeer's missile pod up toplooks pretty cancrous>>557520959your mistake is trying to "kill" the boss arc thinking you'll get any loot off it, instead of focusing on knocking one piece of armor off at a time, and ensuring you get the loot for ittheir entire boss fight design philosophy is really REALLY fucking stupid- bring a hullcracker and a few stacks of ammo, plus a pvp weapon of your choice- bring a stack of big smokes, a cloak, and a snaphook- a couple of stacks of lure grenades are optional but recommended tooget to the fight then maneuver so you're close to it, then pop off a piece of leg armor with the hullcracker - immediately toss a smoke on it and snaphook to it, ping your cloak once then loot and snaphook away/back to coverrepeat as many times as you have inventory space/heals/smokes forif there are rats doing nothing while lurking around the legs, use your lures to make them fuck off or diecongrats, you now know how to farm boss arcit's fucking full-retard that they don't explode into a massive pile of lootable pieces like medium size arc do, so you're forced to do the fight "wrong" if you want any actual loot from it >>557521251anvil
>>557520959yep lost 750k last week to that
>>557521251Jupiter and hullcracker oneshot them.
Ok, so the most powerful Jeetmaxxed loadout is 36K.Will rip through heavy shields with fast DPS, and stomps Freekit sissies. I'm about to make 10 loadouts for 360K, and see how much comes back from robbing people. I guess it's a flop if under 700K. If you suck at PvP you can't double your money invested. If you're too good you'll triple it, but I don't expect to make 1 mil.
someone farm shredders for me

>>557517878Has anyone progressed 100 of the game (at least benches and expedition) in full pvp lobbies? Sounds completely counter productive.If its all KOS, you're not extracting with the goods or even getting all the goods you want to extract most of the time. Seems it would extend playtime by an astronomical amount and that's not including all the kits you lose and recraft.
>>557525407>If its all KOS, you're not extracting with the goodsThe whole point is not to let KOS happen to you. Don't get in a line of sight, get the kill using sound and positioning(slow). >Get the goods you wantYou're gonna get all kinds of goods, looking for specific shit isn't possible.
>>557525407thats what safepockets are for
>>557525823>Don't get in a line of sightAnd if you do, you can keep escaping, until 3rd party or Arc joins. Then you gotta make sure the other niglets took damage from each other, before they can hit you.

>>557521496It is quite bullshit raiders doing fuck all get to snatch up the loot while the guy deadlining the core gets nothing.
how to get into friendly trio lobbies?
how do you get a good leaper score solo, I can not get enough leapers to spawn, and then sometimes have to waste time with a rocketeer since they share spawns and can block them fromspawningnot complaining, but seems way easier in trios where you can dominate the map from spaceport tower
>>557526278NTA but they seriously need to make the core break into 20 pieces, its pretty bullsshit it dies and theres just 1 item to loot since everyone took care of the logs
>>557526757Do friendly squads even exist?t. Full time solo Chungarthian
Well I was already getting bored of this game but now it just crashes every round or 2 and will sometimes make my entire PC reset saying fatal error, fuck this dogshit game
>>557527479I am in the arc raiders discords, and watch the LFG, and sometimes theres mentions of like>doing X trial in 20min>need 2 more>HAVE FRIENDLY LOBBIESso I think it's a thing, but I don't have friends and don't want ot just join and suicide a bunch, or join and they expect me to PvP
>>557527479Every single time I've gone from solo to squad, pvp happens. Every time.I never get pvp lobbies as solo. But squad it seems almost inevitable.
>>557527476Worse still is the core typically falls out and rolls directly to everyone else.
>>557527579that might be your PC, just saying
>get like 22k shredder trial points>15 seconds late to extraction>dieoh well
>>557528348worst feel>doing wasp trial>head for extract>oh cool got a minute or so left>kill kill a couple more wasps>out of heals>have to hide in a the little side hut at east extraction on bluegate>try to take care of some of the wasps>gun suddenly pops in my face>its broken>dont even have ammo for my other gun>15 seconds left>OH FUCK>run for the button>"its fine I have survivor, if I can just hit the...">wasps unloads on me>dying animation plays for the last 2 seconds that tick down>finishes at 0 with me in front of the console>extraction failedI was so pissed
>>557527403https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AW40HA47mMlooks like Dam is the best if you can get a good zipline setup to check the spawns
>>557526278>>557527476What would make the most sense (aside from having it explode into a ton of pieces) is tracking anyone that did any damage to the core itself, and then awarding 1 core directly to their inventory the first time they interact with it once its dead, regardless of whether they get the "first" loot of its primary container or not.This even incentivizes more pvp for those degenerates who care about that, since "everyone" who contributed even a single shot on the core, would be guaranteed to have a single core on them. if they're a freekit with no ass pocket, that's open season.
>>557528625>load in again>spawn late>rush to extract and try again>save some poor guy from a free loadout retardtime to try again in pvp hell

>>557529419Take your meds or touch grass or something anon. I'm just spitballing an idea that could improve looting dynamics in boss arc scenarios, and haven't posted anything like this before just now in this very thread.Something something seethe something something rent free, etc.>>557529779The one and only relevant use for the aphelion is knocking this bitch's aim off by tapping a thruster when it's doing the aming windup.Still won't save you unless you have cover nearby since the fucking thing eats 2 rounds per burst, does negligible damage, and has to reload after just 5 bursts.

>just got home from the hospital>newborn, older daughter and mom are sleeping together >booting up ChungarthaYep, its gamer dad time.
>>557531393Hold these stitcher rounds big dad
the solution is learning to call people "nigger" or "faggot" or (insert insult of choice here) in a fantasy language like klingon or elvishthe very few people who understand will fucking die of laughter, the normie retards will be confused, and it will skate by under the radar until some streamer nigger gets banned from twitch after enough people run it through a translator to figure out the meaning, and it will be glorious
I'm done being friendly to people and carrying defibs. I've had enough. I'm going to just start blasting people, idgaf if I lose all my shit I'm just going to go with free loadouts.
>>557531156>very high caste saar, promise not to redeemAbsolute state of miggers. Vances children are shitskins.
>>557532052you don't seem to understand. the other side literally does not believe in america's sovereignty, for the same reasons that they believe random words justify violence. stop overthinking it.

>>557532210the amazing part of currentyear is that this is true is so many different ways I actually ran out of fingers counting and had to start including toes or I would lose track
>>557532228this, pretty sure I have enough, but still need like 700k liquid
>>557532194Both sides are shit. One wants white genocide overtly, the other wants white genocide covertly. Thats the only difference. ICE has more funding than almost all militaries in the world. For that level of funding there should be cattle cars and pits. Instead we have Bush era faggotry.It's no surprise ICE is a department of Homeland Security and DHS's largest expense and security grants go to jewish ngos and synagogues. The funding and compounds aren't for shitskin removal.
Gingy is such an annoying bitchI had the DISPLEASURE of being forced to watch Dumbassfaggotpeanut Marathon stream.The game looks fine, and the dev was quite chill, but the whore being a braindead cunt the whole time was exhaustingOn a sidenote; It is just me, or did they tweak the matchmaking to make each match a mixed bag of rats, chungarthians and neutralians?

>>557533696I checked reddit the other day, and it seems like a few people are experiencing the mixed lobby thing, even some posts here
>>557533696I've noticed more mixed lobbies as of late. Seemingly more often in Cold Snap maps. Which btw, Cold Snap fucking blows. I'd be okay with the mechanic and the aesthetic is fine, but the "increased loot value" is an utter lie and the candleberries are fucking worthless.
The Hullcracker is such an underrated weapon. I've used it to take down all kinds of arc in the last week.
>>557533923Enjoy getting raped alone buddy. I'm sure one day you'll find a pure heart worth your vote. If you just keep waiting.
>>557533972I don't want to be in servers with pvpers. It's too much risk when using high level equipment to run trials and matriarch. You get zero benefits from winning a fight against a pvper too and in fact it draws more "sheriffs types" who will avenge them or more shitskin rats looking for an easy kill. What I want least of all is "mixed lobbies" where faggots try to play amongus with guns. Sure that could be fun if I were in a free kit but not when I'm lugging around a million dollars worth of equipment.
>>557534337maybe stop playing the game then
>>557534291How about Republicans choosing someone who isn't quite literally retarded or anti-white? I'd reckon even the jew from California would be a better choice for whites than Vanceet.
>>557534448>this is unironically the guy who posts "newsom has a based chad aryan white family so you should vote for him" on twitterHoly fucking coal. Clarence Thomas is absolutely the most based supreme court justice of all time, and he is the darkest nigger in the galaxy. Cope.

>>557537226>I will be playing marathon.Me too, I'd even buy a copy for the voicechanger girl(male), if she wanted it
If there is one game that deserves to succeed, more than Marathon, its this game.>Tough and fun PvE, not just bloat guys that stand there and shoot at you>Cool anamolies that can kill you>Uses Dagor engine so vehicles in the game, and possibly tanks in the game too>Stalker aestheticBut it never took off even after they paid the streamers to play their game. Maybe the Steam release will help it but who knows?
The only thing I don't like about Marathon is no Solos. I'll be ratting 1V3, unless teammates are based and want to help.

You need to Exfill once without shooting(complete a match without damaging players). And then, you need to start a couple of matches, get shot by Arc, when you get knocked, surrender. You can reverse boost within an hour.>What if I surrender immediately at the startYou might still be in mixed lobbies. For friendly you need to 1) Lose full HP 2) Finish a match by exfil and no damage to players.So if you die 4-5 times to Arc, surrender, then play and call an exfil, leave without damaging people, you will have about 4 or 5 friendly lobbies. Your whole "aggression bracket" goes a level below mixed.>How do you knowTried all kinds of methods myself.
>>557538653I'd be up to that, I'll post again during the beta and release. It's a gamble if the game will flop or not really>>557538898I don't know.

>>557537790K>>557537871The Founders were explicitly White Nationalist. Dogwhistling prowhite sentiments (not even actual positions) and invoking jewish policy is not American and not prowhite. There isn't a single prowhite policy that is even considered by this administration let alone passed. Contrast with the Founders who codified being White as a requirement to be an American before the Bill or Rights and before the Constitution was fully ratified.If the Founders were here today your republicuck party would attack them mercilessly as racist nazis. Because if there is one thing republicans and democrats agree on, its combating "nazism" ie White power.

>>557541465>kill raider>he turns into a racist
>>557554019Why are there so many posts being worried about placements when you have pathetically low scores? My scores aren't even high but at least somewhat respectable.
>>557515462Lesson learned, extract camper killed
>>557555740They've moved closer and closer twice already.
>>557553792>he watches a BBC enthusiast
>did like 20 Matriarch events this weekend >didn't get ratted even once >literally no one did>people brought legendary weapons and all It's incredible how these lobbies all just have people that know and expect you to not be a ratty piece of shit. Pure trust. If there is any complaint I had it's that you NEED to be under the Matriarch when it dies or people will literally just run and take all the cores only and leave everything else. This didn't bother me so much since I already have my 3m, I just needed my merits for killing Arc.
why do people kill me when I'm extracting it's mean
>>557556449The color of their skin is a shade of brown (same color as poop).
>>557555635yea but I'm farming the shredder trial>>557555997we're the same 2 guys talking about our scores, and then an occasional hotshot joins inthat's why I'm asking for advice my man>>557556449if its just shooting you, they might be trying to get their hostility up or had some daily related to it, if they actually kill you without extracting, then that sucks, had it happen once or twice
>>557556449Because we're better than you lil timmy.>>557556828Quiet Goop container
>>557534942probably because the average chungarthan doesn't care about pvp and never chooses to engage in pvp? if you don't work a muscle it atrophies; that goes for soft skills like aim/motion prediction too >>557556018good job anon, you've joined the ranks of the enlightened>>557555939what kind of mouthbreathing retard drinks fucking starshit coffee AND has the barrels of their fridgeguns facing the fucking DOOR?yes I know the sub2k's barrel is technically facing inward but the deployed orientation o the firearm is facing the fucking doorjesus tapdancing christ this shit gets more retarded the longer I look at it>>557556449because you're not playing a guitar or at least a recorder
>>557530890So, legit question: how old is Celeste supposed to be? The timeline seems fucky.She was definitely part of the fight against the first wave of arc, she talks about it all the time. But wasn't that like 15-20 years ago? Is Celeste supposed to be 40? Because she doesn't look it. Or was she fighting First Wave arc when she was 12 like an anime character?
>>557557617>Is Celeste supposed to be 40? Because she doesn't look it.She gets no UV rays from the sun which causes her to retain her youthful look.
>Play solo Stella with full PVP kit, ready to rumble!>Bunch of PvE chillster noobs just grabbing random shit, not even hard looting, just existing, shooting the shit>No point in PVP; just give a friendly "good day" even though I could easily crash three people with my shotgun>Extract with a hatch key and make fat bank with barely any time on the mapNow, the reverse:>Play several trios with random fucks online>It's just free kit monkeys, dudes AFKing to smoke a blunt for minutes at the start of the round RIGHT IN THE OPEN OF LOBBY, invis ID glitch, all that shitI can't PVP because I'm stuck in chillster lobbies, and it's not fun to fight people who don't want to duel. The only way I consistently get PVP lobbies is if I queue in a random trio with negative karma retards who AFK, insta suicide with free kits, or verbally berate the team while blasting some variety of ethnically-charged tribal beats through the mic. I don't want to kill PvE players just to get stuck with more of these asshats. Feels bad...
>looting>hear footstops>they stop>suddenly hear a camera go off nearby>and then get shot out>say "Anyone there?">silence>nope the fuck out before someone shoots me in the back

>>557555997I'm employed.
why do so many people try to PvP me but absolutely suck at iti'm a herbivore who just farms ARCs and a bunch of free kit suicide bombers keep trying to fight me but their aim is shit and their gear is shit and they fail 9 out of 10 timesare they just trying to increase their likelihood of getting into PvP lobbies for solo mode?
>>557558951anything more than "hey raider" or actual spoken voice comms is fucking suspicious and guarantees I'm keeping my eyes and gun on you "don't shoot" is a surefire sign they're going to try and fuck you as soon as you're not paying attention
>>557554320Sounds based

>>557556857>why I'm asking for advice my manFor shredder it only takes 2 or 3 shots. I usually only bring 4 to 6 boxes. But for shredders I used the 100 glitch then re did it near the end.
>>557558951>don't shootplayers in friendly lobbies hardly ever say this. you can tell when you meet someone who isn't often in friendly servers
>>557560253thanks anon
>>557560397>>don't shoot>players in friendly lobbies hardly ever say this.True, I say "Hi, hi, hello! I'm lokking for a battery, hi!".Then I spray them to death. Kukuku

>>557539110yeah nah fuck whatever embark changed this shit is ass
>>557559334>Say hello.>Raider immediately starts talking a bunch and trying to approach me.It's SO obvious when they're trying to pull the fake friendly gimmick. Actual friendly players will say hello and then maybe just "Do you know where X item is?"
>>557563561Yup we are too busy farming for a specific thing or goal.
>>557563561>It's SO obvious when they're trying to pull the fake friendly gimmick. Actual friendly players will say hello and then maybe just "Do you know where X item is?"actually true. every person who tries too hard to be buddy buddy has been turncoat 90% of the time.

>>557564326obvious voice changer is also a sign
>>557564105I hope he plays with Gingy
>>557564326Untrue. When I play on NA servers it's always the a nasally sounding white guy or someone with the "generic e-bro" voice.
>go to Stella Montis with a free loadout with my friend>we spawn by the back>here some dudes run in>it's Stella so I shoot on sight despite not wanting to>as we're in the standoff, they call me a rat>say it's Stella and they ran up on us without saying anythingThese people cannot be real. I'm not a rat, but you ran up on us without saying a word.
I'm brown and also the most trustworthy person in the world
>>557565025>it's Stella so I shoot on sight despite not wanting tomaybe the players you ran into don't subscribe to that train of thought? just a possiblity
>>557565025not justifying itbut they probably thought you were just sitting in that room waiting for them, it used to happen a lot
>>557560076>in Dam Battleground Night Raid>looting apartments for a Wolfpack Blueprint>spot a raider outside and use the hi command from second floor>he immediately starts running towards the building>warn my duo>he says friendly over comms and they respond too>they come into the room I'm in with their guns out and don't shoot meI'm convinced if my duo wasn't there that they would have hunted me. I don't blame your instinct for wanting to shoot that guy immediately.
>>557565325They said that. They said "oh, you were just in there waiting" like, no I spawned over here and was looting. I was crouched and then heard them and hid and shot them because I thought they were gonna rat me. So I shot first.>>557565292Probably. All I know is my duo gets mad at me if I talk to other raiders on prox chat for too long like I was in my stand off with them.
>>557565025 >>557565292>>557565325stella when it launched and few a few weeks afterward was always a pure charnel pit even in "pve" queuesnow that things have settled down and people have learned the map and how to get around on it, it's nomalized to where pve queue is actually pve queue even on stellaI run across more pvpers on buried ciy than stella these days
>>557565181Shitskins lie like they breathe.
>>557565663dam battlegrounds too, I assume its newer players
>>557565663>I run across more pvpers on buried ciy than stella these daysThat and Blue Gate seem like big PvP maps.
>>557565663i still find the most PvP in stella, i have literally never been involved in any PvP in buried citythe most extract camper rats are on the Dam map
>>557565663>it's nomalized to where pve queue is actually pve queue even on stellaCould not disagree more. My friend and I are always friendly but we hit Stella and like 3 queues in a row we got fucked compared to when we went to Dam, Buried City, or Blue Gate. Even Spaceport we would get friendly more often than not.
>>557565924buried shitty has the single worst extract point in the entire game from the standpoint of the ability to hard camp it as a rat nigger it's always a wild ride when the final extract on a map is that one, especially in night raids
is the fastest way to get metal and rubber just killing a big arc and salvaging it all?
>>557566217well i never stick around too long in buried cityand my tactic to avoid getting ratted is to extract with multiple people if possible, even if a rat gets me the others will likely take care of it and let me crawl into the train
>>557566217>single worst extract point in the entire gameWhich one?
>Matriarch/Queen on Spaceport or Blue Gate>A million people all shoot at them.>Matriarch/Queen on Dam.>No one touches them. Annoying.
>>557566324NTA probably that one with only 1 entrance and has the 2 up/down ziplines
>>557566324Southern Stationit's "the sarlaac pit" extract>>557566302hit industrial areas like the Primary Facility or Generator Hall on damthe breachable containers and broken open cargo container drawers typically have lots of tools, motors, industrial generators, rubber, and metaland server farms/electrical areas tend to have lots of wires which scrap/recycle to rubber
>>557566497they moved it on Dam and now its kind of hard to fight matriarch>summons Bastian/Bombadier/Rocketeer>those water towers are now coffinsI guess everyone should be bringing barricades and fortifying the area, but nobody is going to know to do that, its also dam so even noobs can join
>>557566142I think it depends on the time and such. Most maps are very friendly for me but it seems like Stella is the map where people that have intentionally de-aggro'd their account go. About 1/5 matches you can hear someone shooting another player on it.They don't seem to bother doing it and then playing on a map like Dam.
>>557566302I don't have these issues because I just loot everything that is blue and recycle everything that is "recyclable" and never run out of basic components. Usually end up needing to sell a stack or two of something. If I'm really hurting for chems or something (<50-100) I'll simply loot a stack or two while raiding.
>>557566774I've never been shot at in Stella.
>>557566217A few different groups I play with always want to camp on that map and I just do not understand it. I outright tell them "You find this fun?" because they just sit in the dark corners on the subway.>>557566551Also for some reason people rarely seem to loot the material items. There's always tons of metal/rubber items laying around.
>>557566774Man, I must be getting unlucky. Most maps I queue into I get friendly and am fine. But Stella I just get fucked all the time.
>>557567115it's about as perfect of a killbox as you can get from a campaign standpointvery compact and crowded area, plenty of hard cover to hide in which makes it essentially grenade proof, and both "quick" entry methods drop people directly into the crosshairs of anyone who feels like camping itwhenever I find myself having to use it, even in chill lobbies, I carefully drop down a level at a time spamming "hello" and if my character says "hey raider" I immediately fuck off since that means someone is in near proximity
I don't think I have the energy to try and farm these shredders
>>557567519>campaign*campingjesus fuck I cannot type todaynot even some faggot on a phone with autocorrect to blame
>>557563949>>557563561PvErs are like the busy business man in a suit who doesn't have time to small talk on his way to important business. PvPers are like the criminals who try to chat you up before suckered punching you or mugging you.
>>557567608hullcracker, 3 rounds per shredderit's easy
>>557568140honestly its the tension from the other players looking at my hullcracker funny or running into someone else farming
>>557567608>>5575681402 rounds if you hit the bottom part
I lost 300k or so doing matriarch runs and not always grabbing the core or, when I did, using them for guns. What's a quick easy way to get money back? I still have like 700k but still...>>557565663Blue gate is always a mess for me. Even on solo
>>557570050recycle items, craft what you need. kill big arcs
>>557570050To be honest Queen/Matriarch runs aren't very good for money unless you're one of the rats killing players or one of those that steals a ton of cores while everyone is fighting and runs off.
>>557570236Just wasn't sure what a good cash farm map is anymore. Stella?
I think I'm safe bros, the derank cutoff is 89k. All solo btw
Good strategy for fighting a Rocketeer without Wolfpacks?
>>557570827Yeah I realized I was having fun and forgot that I need to keep my coins up. Rookie mistake. Seriously, it's amazing how quickly people loot the cores.
>>557571103I'm conflicted on it. PVPVE lobbies are awful because of the rats that shoot you in the back while fighting the bosses. PVE lobbies too many players just rush to grab the parts without putting their fair share into the boss. (Sometimes they'll grab like 4 cores and try to run off too.)I almost feel like each boss should have a vault that guarantees each player one core.
>>557571074Bunch of seeker grenades.
>>557571395Yeah. I'm mostly in friendly lobbies and am surprised how either everyone claims to turn up empty handed or as soon as I start to get close to the core I hear shots popping off and realize I should just run.I concur that I wish there was a way to ensure better loot distribution because it feels like most of the lobby is better at finding the right parts rather than actually fighting.
>>557570050>>557570827>Looting MK2 + Ferro IV + 1-2 Defib>Queen/Matriarch all dayThe 5M grind was actually free compared to the free kits in Stella Montis """meta""" from the first expedition. Can't believe I ever complained about that amount of money. Even if you don't get any reactors (which you will get a lot of), you're still taking home 65k in random arc bullshit MINIMUM.>>557571074Ferro IV or Anvil, just shoot the 2 front thrusters. Once those are gone it just falls to the ground. If it's sitting still in the sky you can peek and take several free shots at the thruster without letting the actual eye see you. Other than that it's just keep ducking behind a door and shooting the thrusters.You can kill it with a hairpin and ~120 rounds if you really wanted to. I did it a couple times this reset.
damnwent down at the end too so might have been able to get 2-3 moreShredder+Pops are deadlyluckily was close enough to crawl to extract
>>557572484I think the only way someone is going to beat me now is if they can get more points on leaper trial>1 more EMS damoh no
>>557571975>Ferro IV or Anvil, just shoot the 2 front thrusters. Once those are gone it justHow are you people so poor and cheap, Just use a jupiter or hull cracker
>>557572675>EMS damI'm at 100k and didn't do first wave husks yet. I may or may not do it depending on how close I am to demotion.
>>557576447I don't have the mats for the wolfpacks to farm them fast, fingers crossed nobody farms for the next few hoursotherwise, might be a good thing to cheese the final week and promote, depending on farmable the trials are going to be, can see a lot of people getting demoted out of hotshot, but who knows

>>557577021yea I have some personal farms for them, I'm just making dinner and then going to eat it, and don't really want to rush to make like 12 wolfpacks afterbut thanks anon
>>557576314There are a HUGE amount of players that don't have the hullcracker blueprint because they don't bother following the quests. It's weird.I have multiple friends who've only done the tutorial and basically no quests after. I think they should lock more blueprints behind questing so players actually have to advance the plotlines.
>>557576314>>557577959its pretty funny how often I come across>hey do you need this blueprint>trigger grenade>"no">runs up to another raider>hey do you need this blueprint>"no">runs up to me>hey do you need this blueprint>"no, its a quest reward just so you know, so most people probably have it">oh I never did my quests and this is the second time I found it
>>557577959I don't have it either. I just buy a new one whenever I lose the old one. I did all.of the quest first season and it was a huge waste of time.
>>557571074Racketeer will slow crawl to you as long as you are shooting it and dont break line of sight. Stay outside of 100m - Rocketeer will shoot you at 100m or less.Show Stopper or Hornet Driver to stun if you want...
>>557578195Unless its something good, I just leave BPs at an extract.
how do people slide after snapping across the ground?like in the guy solo arc trial videos

I'm not sure what else there is to accomplish besides PVP duels, and that seems to be a sentiment a lot of end-game players experience. What are you endgame anons doing outside of PVP? Misc goofy shit? Raids? It feels like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg2PD-dwsIw (Also, holy shit, that episode is almost exactly 2 decades old...)
>>557578862I do take-something-leave-something sessions on Stella with my spare blueprints and table/quest items.
this general is way too obsessed with who is white and who isnt jfc
>>557579382>What are you endgame anons doing outside of PVP?helping other raiders out killing stuff, sometimes someone is trying to kill a bastion or bombadier alone, or even rocketeer, another person usually helps and I've been bringing in hullcrackerfinal week I usually go in with extra blueprints and ask people if they're doing the expedition, and if now I'll give them something
>>557577959No the plot just needs to be better, the quests need to be more involved, and quests should also level up traders and their inventories. Also your bg3fu is pig disgusting.
>>557579382I help others get their quests/benches/expeditions done, I'll do sessions like >>557579426, and sometimes PVP. I think people unfairly compare the game to Tarkov's amount of content because Tarkov doesn't really have an end game either. They've just had 11 years to add quests (90% of which are low quality and just exist to pad time in game.)
Just made these. So, which one is gonna bring the fear of God into random Stella players more?
>>557579793>>557580105>Helping othersWhat if I don't have friends and everyone I queue with in public games is mean or suicidal and retarded?

>>557580542Fair. I tried both in the practice range, and they're very fun. Though, if you have even basic dodges/slides down, it oddly felt like the bobcat was just the torrente but with fewer bullets per magazine. The bobcat is clearly firing at a faster RPM, but it's not practically that significant imo, and the room clearing potential is way different.
