I poopsocked yesterday and had lots of fun, the probability of finding friendlies and more nuanced interactions increases exponentially when you leave the dam battlegrounds, it's just kind of a constant deathmatch in that map. I've been just going through the quests and playing safe but hopefully I won't have to do them again after a prestige since they kinda just feel like a glorified tutorial.
Battle pass is boring, but if it's anything like The Finals then they'll start doing more thematic seasons with factions and wackier outfits.
