They'll likely do the community unlock event first like they did with Stella

Dolabra kind of sucks
at least against flying arc
maybe its better against the bastion
but even the surveryor I just ended up switching to my pistol

definitely prefer the jupiter
idk how they're going to make the other weapons good without nerfing it

please let the change be "keeping blueprints"

>>563458965
idk jupiter seems more consistent for me at least
but I'm probably just bad and miss too many shots

>>563459074
generally speaking if there's a cluster of bodyparts on an arc then hullcracker mogs because AoE damage spreads
jupiter is there for range and ignoring armor plating completely to damage the core

>>563458997
blueprints are the main reason I didn't do expedition. I've spent so much time gathering them I didn't want to let go of them untill I got my money's worth out of them. I was planning to maybe do 4th or 5th expedition but if they will let you keep bluperints then I'll do the next one.

>>563459246
only thing that made me think it is people are trying so hard to get Dolabra and Canto, and are just going to lose it next expidttion
I guess they could just not do it, but then you risk the player getting bored and just quitting the game, if it was something like 1 blueprint per expedition, that wouldn't be so bad, since you could keep the rarer ones

also you do ~70 damage instead of 35 per peek

I spent 20 minutes running around the Ancient Fort on Blue Gate but couldn't for the life of me find the last power cell.
Either the game bugged out and didn't spawn it or someone definitely trolled me by taking one of the cells away and hiding it.

>>563456446
You can easily shoot bastion missiles out of the air with it, which is neat.

Is there a single use case for the light stock? I just can't even figure out why you would use it?

wtf man

So I'm on the last step of expedition, and I was able to easily get the money for each of my stash sections except for one, produce or whatever it's called, where it's keys and fruit. What's the best method to get this done? Should I run blue gate for the fruits, dam for fertilizer, or something else? I've been picking up fruit prior to this, but just to feed to scrappy.

>>563476382
idk if you hold onto dupe blueprints but I fed him all of those
I think he also eats seeds and that can kind of add up
the other thing is getting trinkets like ducks on bird city
or just from regular looting and making sure you pick up stuff like Wrist Watches, I think anything with that diamond symbol can be turned in for that

also feels like spaceport has the most fruit, and everyone goes to blue gate for their quests, so it ends up being more uncontested and not already looted besides that one trench area, I got pic related in a few runs earlier to make those mixed fruit basket things to feed to scrappy

I've started bringing the guitar out, gotta do this more often

This time I might wait until Saturday or even Sunday before I start working on them because I don't wanna have people with 100k in the 3x bracket. I should be able to get Hotshot even if I just rank 1x every week until the end of the season.

get a duo buddy and just fight for the loot, better than dying of boredom pressing E on container for half a week after suiciding 20 times in a row because your spawn is ass and everything good has already been vacuumed

>>563524671
Friend tried that. His money remained unmoved. Meanwhile I pulled 100k games somewhat consistently pressing E on containers. Even just collecting blue shit is more profitable than PVP, thats why all the pvpoors marvel at loot they get from a pve player that accidentally wanders into their matchmaking bracket.

>>563525742
Yeah, they PvP for the sake of PvP, I'm telling you to PvP to control a loot zone

>>563525908
Shut up. Pvpers do not make money unless they're winning majority of their fights. Like every fight majority of their raids.

>>563526627
You're a retarded fucking nigger. You don't take fights that are not your problem, if there's nobody contesting you just loot and leave.

>>563526773
Stream it. Stream you doing this multiple times and prove it makes more money than just looting containers safely.

>>563526773
Problem is that once you enter even just rat matchmaking youare going to ha e 2/3 the map rishing with the quickness to third-party with the quickness. Other guy isn't me but my friend quit for a few days because it got so bad he literally had 5 teams converge on him and turn the area into a FFA cod map

>>563526972
>do all of this stuff just to prove some brainlet on 4chin wrong
you could of just said that your aim and positioning is dogshit and you're losing 95% of your fights even when you're taking 2 fights per 5 raids max.

>>563527059
FFA happens, but it's surprisingly rare in medical/assembly
doing a basic bitch door blocker + shock mines setup usually wards off most teams or gives you enough of an advantage to just ambush them outright in medical; hell, sometimes i had teams die to the shredder outside of the assembly door because they didn't expect a door blocker and were stupid enough to rush
assembly is fast to loot and leave so you're not encountering more than 2 teams if you're not lingering or the whole server doesn't magically go there

for some fucking reason most fighting in stella goes on in lobby, despite having jack shit to loot

>>563527548
>you could of just said that your aim and positioning is dogshit and you're losing 95% of your fights even when you're taking 2 fights per 5 raids max.

Bro, you are advising everyone else to do some shit you can't even prove to us that you can do.

>>563527674
yes, because cutting down the competition in a loot zone when you're not getting enough loot is common fucking sense, as well as not straying too far from the main objective, which is to LOOT, NOT TO FIGHT
i do not owe you dozens of hours of footage and editing time, fuck off

>>563527871
Lying faggot

>>563527871
But that's the thing. Any of us could instantly prove how much and how reliably we can get make by looting containers. You spout a bunch of nonsense and what aboutisms but can't prove shit.

it has increased "valuables" also you can loot the chimneys for ducks that sell for a lot
before the Scrutiny event it was the money maker map condition

>>563543445
Huh, I thought night raid or hurricane was the money maker, or are those just for bps?

>>563543619
Buried City, before Stella dropped was always good because of how small it is and how fast you can traverse the map. So you can always do fast extractions hitting up gun crates and breach rooms netting a decent amount of loot in a fast time.

>>563543619
those are good too

It took like 2 minutes to do honestly because I enjoy trolling with the scanners and already had small stockpile to burn, and spawned near the swamp. But it's whatever.

Looting supply drops seems like a bigger problem because it only seems to count not from actually looting them, but calling them in.

Jupiter is my new favorite weapon, its so nice

>>563577082

energy ammo keeps it cheap
feels great against flying arc
feels great against surveyor
havent tried it against the other other big arc, but I've seen Valliate do the leaper trial with it to pull/kill leapers that were far away
II like that it hits exactly where you're aiming

I think thats it, it also looks cool imo

downside is repairing it every 1-2 matches, but kind of worth it, nice to 1 shot wasps and its great in Scrutiny, havent used it outside of there too much because I know I'll probably just get shot in the back for it if I fuck around by myself with it too much

>>563624927
might just have to keep playing and safely extract, or just straight up let people full kill you so the game thinks you're bad at pvp and puts you back in retard lobbies (friendly lobbies)

>I got paranoid so I've been runing free kits
free kits are basically guaranteed pvp lobbies at this point because they are 99% of the time late-joining lobbies that "conveniently" have empty slots
