Burletta 1 or stitcher 2?

>>545866197
tempest

>>545866197
anvil

>>545866197
Definitely burletta 1 for me. Really dislike the stitcher. But I'd rather just take a venator altogether.

>In one round
Hey faggoot, run giant 100000m circle around the map for me, btw if a freekit sees you, you have to do it again lol

>>545866870
Ah yes the dreaded free kit. The scariest strongest players you can face

>stuck on choosing a display name
I hate being autistic

>>545866870
happened to me
>on my way to my first objective, some rusfaggot sitting in a bush jumps me
>I just keep on walking
>hear him reload behind me while jogging after me
>he finally downs me
>I spawned in naked so he just wasted all that ammo for nothing
faggots

>>545866870
Why not just kill the freekit

>>545867071
It's never a waste to get a kill

so whats the point of the harvester after getting both blueprints, aside from the occasional women using her mic

>>545866870
>dying to freekit
couldn't be me

post them raiders

really enjoying this look, it's very star wars

>>545867952
kind of wish this was short-sleeved or sleeveless or something but it's decent as it is

freeclit

Maxing this out decreases breaching time from ~10s to ~7s btw

>200k CCU
>not free
Alright, so what's the appeal?

>>545868287
except it doesnt work for doors

>>545868537
I killed a raider who looked just like you the other day

>>545868603
I have not died in several days

>>545868556
the unaware poster...

How do I tell my friends that I don't enjoy group raids because none of us has actually good aim and each time we engage we get shred?

>friends make me buy
>I am pretty much the only one playing after 1 week
this is not the first time this happened...

>kill someone
"WHY DONT YOU GO PLAY CALL OF DUTY YOU FUCKING LOSER"

my bad

>>545868891
well, on one hand you only get better by continuing to practice, on the other hand you could just tell them you don't want to pvp

>stole a dudes osprey blueprint after gunning him down while he was putting in the code to leave
that's what you get for being a freekit shitter

I have a metric fuckton of materials, so I thought I could do the expedition. At the same time, I don't know if they perks you get are worth having your talents reset and losing all your blueprints.

>>545869572
they are saying you will get some permanent cosmetics too. if it's an outfit I'll do it but I'm not doing it for a fucking backpack attachment or some facepaint or whatever

>>545867952
I hate the helmet, otherwise it's a good outfit

>>545869670
I'd do it for a good outfit, too. I don't understand why they haven't shown what cosmetics you get yet.

>take hullcracker to take down bigger arcs
>every freegger in the lobby start hunting you

>>545867952
wish I could keep glasses and mask, I wanted my hair out

>>545869797
It's just a cloth version of the Planetside 2 TR helmet isn't it

>go to extract, some guy in elevator about to leave
>starts shooting me
>kill him
>has venator 3 and renegade 3 plus a bunch of other goop
thanks for the free loot dipshit

Man I need industrial batteries. I used to not loot them, since I had enough batteries for my shield, and now look at me, it's over...

>>545868891
start learning how to combine utility use

>Alright, throw your smoke
>I'll throw my tag
>There, shoot the mark

>>545869937
Planetside 3 when? Vanu were so cool.

How do you know if someone is using a freekit or not? I want to kill them on sight because they are a blight

>today I will complete some quests
>5 minutes later inventory full of shit

I've started just keeping 4 stacks of crafting mats each and selling all the recyclables I find.

plinking away at quests until i get this outfit, then i'll become the Sheriff of Overworld, handing out swift punishments to KOS'ers and extract campers

>>545870186
There's no concrete way but the best indicator is if they don't have a spare weapon on their back. Almost everyone bringing an actual kit has a ferro on the side because it's dirt cheap

>>545868287
should have been 10s to 5s, i wonder how much the skill that makes it quieter contribute, can hear people breaching from halfway across the map

Where the fuck do you find blueprints

Im overflowing with all the rarest stuff but I cant craft anything

>>545870709
loot any red location on a night raid. lockers in places like the dam control tower are really good for it

>>545870709
technically anywhere, but some stuff has higher drop chance, like weapon cases

https://metaforge.app/arc-raiders/map/dam use interactive map, learn locations of different stuff

the space on the left should probably show your quests and tracked items, or is it occupied by squad related stuff?

>>545870962
That's where whatever you're looting shows up.

>leaper only dropped one cell
I feel scammed

>>545871097
fortunately it's the easiest of the bigger arcs to kill

>>545870272
based, I'm trying to minimize everything too.

What yall be buying in the shops?
Right now I buy daily hatch key, renegade, hullcracker, combat mk2, heavy shield, surge recharger, and rare bandage

As a coomer what skin should I buy?

>>545871264
there's no coomer skins so buy any that appeals to you i guess

>>545871183
yeah but I'll have to load into another raid

>>545871261
trying not to spend as much money rn but occasionally I buy barricades and zips.

>game features evil AI robots as the enemy
>the devs who made the game also use gen AI to lessen human involvement
Mixed signals

Expedition seems so retarded
>removes all your blueprints (most people with over 100 hours don't even have near 64 yet)
>play against people who don't press it, ruining the entire point of a fresh wipe concept
>all for some cosmetics and 5 more skill points, but it doesn't matter because most skills in the game suck (only ones that matter are security breach, the weapon reducing weight one, the 10kg of equip load, and the frontloaded mobility ones that give stamina)

>>545871548
it's like poetry, it rhymes

ratmaxing

>>545871261
I only buy things with seeds

>>545871548
I like the theory(?) that the evil AI was sent by space humans so it's actually people that were evil all along.

>get killed by random KOS plainclothes in day time map
>check steam profile
>anime pfp and has thousands of hours in CS and every MOBAslop you can think of
They really need to regionlock this game

>>545871025
right

>>545871818
it seems pretty obvious that that's what it is, the designs are too conventional for it to be aliens or whatever. And if the "story" is ever developed to the the point that that's actually revealed, you know that it's going to be something where the space humans didn't know the planet was still occupied tee hee and they just sent down murderbots to protect the surveyors and shiet from...climate change mutants? or whatever they were expecting.

we did it chat

>>545870290
Doing gods work anon

>>545872040
Are these rare or something? I keep seeing people freaking out about finding them.

There are weapons that use Energy Clips? Tien Wen sells one Energy Clip for 3k
never seen that before

>>545872105
They're just the meme item of the game, search lockers in a colored loot zone and you'll likely find one or two.

every single crafting item needs to have its stack size doubled in storage

>>545871548
Are they canonically evil? my head cannon is these were some kind of construction robots that went AWOL and see humans as enemies now.

>>545872134
There's only like two I think and they're legendary weapons that only drop from the Queen event

>>545872582
I see

Is there a way to track specific items, instead of entire recipes?

>>545868603
I just started the game and almost made a character that looks exactly like that

>>545873048
no, that would make too much sense

>>545871264
anyone in here play the Finals before? Are we gonna get skins that aren't the weird post apocalypse thing we have going on with all the skins or these devs stick to the theme pretty hard?

>>545873861
They went all over the place for the finals, and had sexy characters with huge butts, so. Idk.

>>545871582
I'll do it once if it upgrades your stash by a decent margin. I'm still constantly shuffling shit around/crafting/selling and it takes too much of my time.

>humans go topside
>targeted by arc
>a chicken goes up
>not a scratch on him and brings back tremendous amounts of loot

>>545871582
They need a blueprint trader. Trade 3 blueprints for one of your choice. Or 5, whatever, they can balance it however they want. Just SOMETHING to get the bp's you really like.

i dont know what the fuck happened but i went from facing dudes in OK kits kind of bumbling around to ultra sweats running full purple gear and weapons and getting ospreyed by 9 people at any given moment

>>545874558
he's just that good

megumin walking in the dam floodgates

Just found a venator bp. How is it against ARC and players?

>>545875053
very good against players, OK against Arc, takes out small arc relatively well

>>545874884
when do we get anime cross over events

>>545875053
You need to upgrade it to at least III/IV and have the grip & magazine upgrade for it to matter. At least magazine II because its +10

i have opened about 30 fucking cars on Blue Gate and still do not have a single rusted gear to show for it
i am about to start fucking tweaking

>>545875618
southern spaceport worked for me

>>545875618
I find them all the fucking time on shelves and not actually in any sort of containers.
Buried City shelves underneath the parking garages and shit, i find like 2-3 per match

>the rattler costs a fuckton of metal to craft AND wants a bunch of mechanical components to fully upgrade it

Yet another reason why the Shittler is the worst gun in the game

>collect a bunch of shit
>head to extract
>ARCs attack me
>still bad at the game
>get downed
>another guy just reached the extract
>he's about to activate it and sees me
>goes "oh shit" over mic
>crawl to extract while he shoots the drones
>"Come on buddy we got this!"
>runs inside and extracts
>"YAHOO, LETS GO BUDDY"
sounded like I made that guys day

>>545875991
Those are the moments that make up for the majority of matches where you either don't really run into anyone or get shot in the back by some dude. I run defibs in solos just so I can help out people who get shafted

>>545875796
But anon, if you waste a shitload of mats that would be better spent towards other guns in order to upgrade it, you can get a whole extra 10 bullets in your mag, yippeeeeee!

>>545876270
it was pretty cool

Question (because i cant find that info anywhere else)

So, during night, there's more loot (rarity, not quantity, i assume).
And there's locked rooms that require keys, with better loot.
Is night multiplier affecting locked rooms too?
In other words - day locked rooms and night locked rooms - will have same loot?
Preferably if you'll give an answer - also clarify why you think so.

>>545870316
customfag here, I never bring 2nd weapon cause I don't want to juggle shit

>sneak up on some shitter

fucking monkey genes

>>545874728
they adjusted matchmaking to group KOS niggers together, my games have been nothing but peaceful
>don't shoot
encounters again lately

Anyone know what the data downloads do in the new bunker event?

>>545876718
he saw an autist and did the world a favor

>>545876718
I had worse thing.

>light him up
>he hides again

>light up even more
>he proceeds to kill me with his arpeggio
how the fuck

>>545876883
next time I will kos you, faggot

>>545876983
probably surge chargers

>>545876826
Game needs to introduce your own list of players that you can fill in, in case someone will betray you or attack despite you openly being non-aggressive. So that you know to fuck them up extra-hard next time.
Like, some type of a indicator. Like a dot above their head, or something, to make it purely cosmetic.

oh come on.

Why are rocketeers just utterly insane? Bastions are easily avoidable, and are slow, bombadiers are almost bad, but they also suffer from slowness and NOT FLYING. Even the queen feels less dangerous. If a rocketeer sees you, they're extremely fast, can fire anywhere from 1-3 rockets, do your entire shield and half your life with a single rocket, and absolutely do not leave under any circumstances. Not even counting how absurdly loud they are, and their aggro range is huge. You can usually avoid them, hide indoors, sure, but no other huge arc is remotely that dangerous.

>freekit
>squaded with geared to fuck high level dude

I laughed, but I also felt pretty bad for the guy

>see someone coming right at me
>"DONT SHOOT ME OH GOD DONT SHOOT DONT SHOOT"
>its a tumbleweed

I JUST WANT A RUSTY GEAR CMON

>>545877742
I swear, they should add so that when you ping a thumbleweed your raider says something like
>ON MY PING, RAIDER, oh nevermind, its just a thumbleweed

>>545877943
just freekit and suicide until you get a good spawn if you can't be bothered to run for 3 minutes.

is there an optimal skill point chart or w/e

>>545878001
that would be so fucking annoying and people would do it just to be exactly that

>>545878016
i hate people like you

we hate free kits here

>>545878114

>>545878313
That's how you flirt, no??? Virgin.

>>545878118
ive never done it and never would, but clearly running is too much for this dumb nigger

>>545877248
not that bad, if its your sole priority just skirt along the edge. people move inwards

>>545878476
Which is weird, because niggers love running.
And stealing shit from those who are weaker than them.

People are giving me shit for using the preorder skin.

Looks like you fags should learn to identify which games are gonna be good before you come out. Maybe you can bushcamp like me then

>>545879041
before they come out*

Sorry guys my dementia is acting up

>>545878313
if I wanted to kill him I would have already done so without him turning around.
Negative skill on picking up social cues from you and the guy

>>545879041
pre-order fags are the cancer killing the game industry. COPE

>>545874170
can't wait for some cheeked up skins since this is third person and you'll actually be able to see the skins unlike the Finals

>>545879434
I cant hear you from my bush where I am perfectly camouflaged

>>545879617
>walks around with level 3 shields
>takes the first shot
>teleports behind you
nothing personal, kid

I dont understand what they were trying to achieve with the stash system.
I understand extract shooters double as inventory management simulators but I don't understand why the stack sizes in your stash are so fucking retarded and why you can't sort by more categories.
the stash screen should be more than 1/4th the entire screen and you should be able to see more shit instead of scrolling like a fucking moron trying to find the shit you need because you can't sort by sub categories.
the entire stash system seems like an afterthought.

>>545879381
if you're just standing there completely silent I'm going to assume you're retarded

anybody got a good strat to 3 star the look for supply drops trial?

>>545879928
I was waiting for an elevator just like he did

>>545879831
>level 3 shields

[laughs in toro]

KOS chads are always winning.

Our numbers grow every day.

Tranny rats keep seething about having no skill.

>>545877943
dont go spaceport, it's too big.
instead naked run blue gate and go to the center are with all the cars and breach those cars. gear can spawn there and you get more xp from breaching rather than running all day.

those fucking JEW devs are going to refrain from releasing lewd skins until the game is already dead. fuck those JEW assholes!

>some asian KOS me
go back to your own server loser

so what's the consensus? are we KOSing or teaming? because I'm getting really tired of getting shot first after voicing and I think I'm just going to kill everyone I see

>>545880442
the blatant psyop post this early huh

>>545879321
ok, I've seen a handful of images with that stupid faggot looking scribbled-background-word-bubble with random word/words watermark

what the fuck is that shit and why the fuck do people keep using it?

I didn't know the gun models change with upgrades that's neat

>>545880019
night raid and look for the bright white lights on top of the supply tower thingies i guess

whats a good gun for killing ARCs at low level

>>545881439
Took me like three tries. Skill issue

is it fun solo? I'm not inquiring anyone to play with me

>>545881659
i'll rather spend my time killing you and taking your shit instead

>second time I try someone else's zipline up to the spaceport control tower
>the second time its weirdly positioned
>can't mantle at the end

there are so many larp fags in this game. it's unreal. now i just KOS them all. no more cringe bullshit.

where are the security breach lockers, I only know testing annex and underground room in blue gate

>>545881913
one in each wall security tower in spaceport
two in dam power
those i can remember
there's one here and there every where

>>545879381
There's plenty playing this game with dial up reaction times who silently spend 10 seconds debating whether to kill you. Silence in this game makes you persona non grata. Do the pew pew pew emote behind his back or something.

>>545881878
>I hate having fun: the faggot

me and my friend are sick of running people over as a duo to barely die to the final 3rd party

i'm glad most people are respectable people on NA PC

I just downed my first bastion with a ferro I and a total stranger with a rattler who just happened to pass by

Is it like in tarkov where you lose all your shit upon death? I should have tried it more when the test was up, I'm about to buy into pure hype..

GIVE ME BURNERS

>people are now teaming up in solos and going around pvping everyone else and camping at the extracts 4v1
cringe

>>545883456
Lord of the Flies type shit, I love it.

>>545883445
Yes but if you run a regular loadout you'll get a pocket where you can store at least one thing that stays with you after death.

>>545883456
Based as fuck

>>545883456
BASED!!!

What's your username? I'll add it to the KOS list.

Are there any green or gray items that cannot be recycled from a blue item? It's feeling like I should just be looting blues and above and then recycling down to the more base materials.

we don't care about how many times you get owned by random people, literally none of us will every do anything about it. I promise you

Personally I just wont shoot people, even if they shoot me first

can you reset skills and refund the points?

What was the purpose?

>>545885367
Craft a key and use a hatch.

Holding off on purchasing this slop until Tarkov comes out. Gonna see what that release looks like and decide who gets my 40 goybucks
Was very disappointed with the server slam

>>545885520
>What was the purpose?
violence in itself, it was probably a nigger and didn't even think of the consequences

>>545885701
Anon relaxed and suffered the consequences...

is there some sort of Dead Silence perk or audio hack I’m unaware of? seems if I try to do any movement other than crouch waddle like I’m clenching my asscheeks in case I shid myself I have some kos sweat zoning in on my location without even breaching any shit

>>545885520

>>545886092
some things do, some are kino. Tarkov is all milsim snoozefest

>>545885520
I do that with an osprey/anvil on blue gate. I don't even loot people, I just want them to feel miserable. The best thing is hearing them scream "don't shoot" before I body them. I just wish we'd do more damage while people is down because a couple of my preys escaped by crawling into the fan.

>>545883341

The actual discord user didn't post this. Looks like it's some guy spamming his name in various places so he gets mass added by random people.

>>545886035
>this is different theme-wise
It's different but it's not "good". The guns almost all look like ass and/or nonsensical. Raiders going up to the surface in fucking pyjama's instead of some combat armor doesn't make any sense, even if they have shields.

The only cool stuff is the ARC themselves.

>>545885417
in-round crafting is unironically a waste of 2 skillpoints

>>545886413
>The guns almost all look like ass and/or nonsensical.
that's the point though? They are cobbled from fucking duct tape and dreams.

>>545885498
How can you tell you were the last two?

ATTENTION ALL STATIONS: theres a bug with mouse accel/smoothing. make sure to copy these settings under controller if youre on pc and using a mouse

why is testing annex elevator always full of stinky russians?

>>545886653
Look at the time, anon.

>20 secs
this was the last extract open on the map

>>545886467
But you need the capstone so you have to get it numbnuts

Obligatory crossover with Terminator when?

>>545886186
That perks sucks ass dude. You need to walk. Not just run without sprinting, you need to actually toggle walk. So you're going slower but your stamina goes up slightly quicker.

>>545886703
controller settings affect mouse?

>>545886998
yeah, you dumb nigger.
Thanks for proving my point about you being a dumb nigger thats too stupid to think of the use cases where walking would be helpful.

Can I change my character's looks
Like race and gender?
You couldnt in the server slam

Why would you wear combat armor? Raiders are looters, not soldiers, furthermore, an arc is just gonna turn you to a fine red mist regardless of how many plates you have on your chest anyway.

>>545886812
Embark would secure the rights to do a crossover, implement all the movie bots like the hunter killers swooping around, T-800 skeletons marching around pew pew pink purple lasers

and all the sweaty PVP kos rat bastard cunts would ignore them just to sit in a corner or bush waiting to snipe other raiders

pointless

>>545887229
yea, any time you want

its over for yall

>>545887174
What use cases, retard? Lmao

This is a nice comfy Battle Royale, shame about the pve bots tho, any plans for them to remove them?

>>545885873
I didn't even realize it was UE5 until I experienced a crash after 15 hours of playing and I got the error message. Expedition 33 managed to have UE5 run smoothly at launch as well.
I think I'm with the other poster... has to be a lack of jeets

>>545887481
the fuck?

>>545887240
For the heavy bots, sure. But don't you think some sort of plating would help against wasps and hornets? They use light calibre weapons.

>>545885367

cosmetic options feel limited just like release day for the finals
im not complaining, but i had a similar instance of this where i had two friends independently make a male body black guy with the same face and the blond twin braids and the exact same fit, with the only difference being their backpack
the "post-apocalyptic failed 80s cyberpunk/nasapunk utopia" art design really limits the number of clean and well made outfits that don't look like repurposed tarps, EVA suits, and roller rink attire, and the small selection of heads and hair just makes it worse

>>545886772
they can't win any other way than cheating or camping

>>545886812
Worth it to see Hk-Aerials flying around.

Why should I load in with anything other than a Kettle if I could get shot in the back by some KoS shitter while looting a cabinet?

>>545886413
Raiders are supposed to be bright clothed so they can see each other. There's this really weird lore clash that doesn't make sense where everyone is meant to be part of one big team and they all go back to the same town at the end of the day despite murdering each other ruthlessly

I still don't understand why they went with entire outfits instead of letting us piece together helmet/body/pants/shoes. With some combinations you could make some decent looking raiders instead of... whatever the fuck this all is.

>>545887023
yes i think so, but im still getting accel issues

>guy has the same quest as me
>we both track it together (I discover the item, it's the one in the foremans office that leads you to Control Tower 7 or whatever)
>we're friendly, notice he's got this decent assault rifle, not seen it before (doesn't look like a shitty rattler)
>we get to control tower 7, I find the item, call him over to it
>"Damn bro thanks"
>he goes to loot it after I looted it
>stitcher him up mid animation
>loot him
>secure a tempest or whatever and a key (he didn't have it shoved up his ass for some reason)
>extract

This game is too fun bros.

>>545885417
Used to the weight is dogshit also this list is clearly based on just someone playing solo. Advanced crafting is also pretty good, especially after reset. The only perks that actually matter are the loot speed stuff, stamina shit, extra weight and security breach, rest are whatever. You also need to take shit that's marked as "scammed" because of how many points the capstones require.

Verdict: Retarded theorycrafter.

3 days and I'm getting bored of the game. What do?

>>545888309
how brown are you

What happens when you down somebody right as the extract closes? Do they lose everything?

>>545888309
I get people without mics who KOS, but how fucked up do you have to be to literally do a quest with someone, i'm assuming chatting along the way and forming a raiderly bond, only to backstab em.

That's like the gaming equivalent of torturing animals as a kid

>>545888558
You can still extract while downed. You can also die as the door closes and extract with nothing

I wonder if he knows how much I wanted to shoot him dead and loot his shit(I didn't)

>>545888684
That roll out of the last guy's shotgun blast was great.

I thought I was going to die there and was genuinely surprised that worked out
He even had a Volcano

>>545888980
>posting his pussy cowardly behavior being disguised as "nice guy" vibes in a looter shooter video game

You faggots are too cringe. Just admit that you deep down believe even with the drop on the player, you know you're so shit that you'd still probably lose and you lose the good shit you likely have hence you extracting in the first place. Unless that dude is some solo duo you've been working with for a while, there's literally no reason to NOT take free loot from a naive retard who's extracting infront of a player with their gun out

I only get ratted in dam

>>545889247
Dam is a warzone because it's the starting zone and the matchmaking still puts fresh players in high level lobbies

Had fun the other day helping a newbie to use the control tower key

Why can't my raider look like this?

>>545889247
I always hear people shit on Buried City for being rat territory but 90% of my friendly solo>duo encounters were there. Most people are just questin/farming money on free loadouts.

The only shitters are usually rooftop snipers but they're easily avoided because everyones aim in this game sucks

>>545889186
Were you aware at that point he had a shotty? With an automatic weapon, he would've likely still got you. The whole interaction is also a good case study of how you can lose a 3v1 by going one by one. If one of you goes down, even if they did damage to the solo, and you're spread out, it's almost always better to wait for your buddy and then go in together.

>>545889247
nah Buried Shitty is just non-stop ass rape

>>545888684
Very nice roll from shotgun, and nice prefire. But cringe, that you don't mic my man

On an unrelated note - found a hatch key in bumfuck nowhere, was a surprise for me.

>>545889554

Good taste

>>545889554
because mine can't look like this

>>545889835
It's facts though and deep down you know it's true. Post your raiders stats to prove me wrong, you won't. You're a rat who simply had good loot this time which forced the inner cowardly rat to come out and talk yourself out of taking a free kill (which it absolutely is to anyone who isn't playing with their feet) because you felt like you may still lose the 1v1 even with the jump.

The fact that you had to take a screenshot of an otherwise normal situation that happens to 99% of players because you thought you were doing something "good" shows that you're a rat, but not only a rat, you're the worst kind of rat, a cowardly one. So go on, show us your stats buddy. Let's see these honorabru samurai

Killed a bastion and like 4 raiders on Dam

>>545888684
that last dodge roll was nice

Game has gotten boring

I know some of you can feel it too

>>545890050
Nah you did well. You did get quite lucky with the pop aggroing to him and the explosion not hitting you, but still, what got you that far wasn't luck, it was capitalizing on their mistakes.

>>545890835
i'm still questing so no, all games become boring eventually though, once all i have left is pvp i might be in the same shoes

>>545890835
nah I’m just getting a little tired of it being so sweaty, over half my last runs have devolved into PVP in less than 3 minutes of the run starting, if I wanted COD I’d have bought that instead

>>545890205
>Post your raiders stats to prove me wrong, you won't
Am I supposed to feel bad about killing people who try to kill me?
>You're a rat who simply had good loot this time
I had random junk from popping car hoods trying to find a Rusted Gear

when does the bunker event happen? I've only seen it during the morning
is it really only once per day?

would a bounty system be healthy for the game in your opinion?

>>545890835
>I know some of you can feel it too
Why are you so insecure about getting bored? You probably got your money's worth. It's okay buddy. We'll keep having fun.

>>545890617
I spent like 15 rounds trying to find the last cooling fan for the expedition I would've given everything I had

I find spamming a good HELLO RAIDER voiceline as you enter an area to be far better at disarming people than basically anything else. I just turned what was probably going to be a bloodbath at the dam control tower into four dudes awkwardly standing around together

>>545891226
based friendmaker

>>545891153
the game shouldn't outright punish you for killing people. the raider flare is punishment enough

>>545891226
I always open with "hey whats up"

>>545891153
could be interesting, depending on how it's implemented

lots of killers in my first run, flares constantly. what are things looking like?

Some guy shot at us and attracted a rocketeer. The rocketeer also started shooting at us and ignored him completely even though he had no cover at the time. Gay game for gay assholes.

I have 3 benches that each need 1 ingredient left before I can upgrade them

>can only consistently find cooling fans in THE most contentious red zones in the game
this sucks man

>>545891847
Still need 2 Sentinel cores...

So if I toss one of these in game, do they just exist in the map normally or do they eventually leave and disappear

>>545891472
ups and downs, pvp is inevitable but there are some golden runs where magic happens.

play how you want and leave first while you're ahead

>>545891964
you spawn new enemies that will patrol the map

>>545892217
so says the tooltip, I'm asking if they persist even until the end of the game

>>545891472
I had a duo appear directly behind me while I was busy looting and they didn't murder me so pretty good

im just going to recycle all of my arpeggios
zero redeeming qualities to this dogshit gun, yet the game insists on giving me my 8th bettina print instead of an anvil

>>545891963
Crazy that sentinels are so rare that you're better off checking every possible courier spawn

>>545892384
its clearly supposed to be a mid-long range gun but there are like 3 guns all better at that

I hate bringing gear to take down bigger arcs because some faggot is always going to kill me right after. I waited until 5 minutes left to take down a rocketeer and was still murdered before I could make it to a hatch. He must have been chasing me

>moving lights in the skybox
I rarely look up. Were these always there?

>>545888430
Put 2 remote grenades or a flame + shock mine on extraction buttons.

A harvester event in the middle of the buried city plaza would be hilarious

One...more....point

>>545893701
>bored of the game? try sitting in a bush for 10 minutes to kill a free kit with 10 plastic scrap a stapler and assorted dildos

blue gate is beautiful but it plays awfully
it's even worse at night since there's like no buildings to hide in from ARC

>>545893950
First of all, it's typically a full backpack. Second, it's not for the loot. It's for the rage and tears.

there are gigachads with much more impressive stashes, but i've built myself a nice little weapon stockpile for comfy solo budget runs without too much investment

hope i find wolfpack and mk3 looting survivor BP's soon. i assume those can't drop in weapon cases?

is the burletta not pretty close to the kettle?

what the hell is this and what do i do with it
i looted it off some guy i murked, but i cant sell it or recycle it

>>545894417
that's a quest item you just ruined some freekitters day. no value outside of giving it to lance later

>>545894417
It's a quest item. You can't trash them for some reason, you actually have to take them with you on a mission and throw it on the ground.

I have a spare Celeste's diary I'm keeping in my stash

>>545891176
>express the opinion that the game has gotten boring
>"REEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Yeah clearly I'm the insecure one (you're seething btw). Methinks the lady doth protest too much

Best places to shoot pops, fireballs, and ticks?

is the battlepass in this game like every other battlepass where in theory you only need to buy it once?

what is your favorite pvp map and location, please tell me right now anon

Of course the game is getting boring. People have upgraded benches and maybe already their expedition shit too. There's nothing to really do unless you enjoy those weekly challenges.

Well, that and go "pvp".

>>545893959
I've just accepted that blue gate is where I take my kit to die in PVP when I need to clear space in my stash. Every fight turns into a complete clusterfuck in 30 seconds. Topside you get shot by every ferronigger and Rocketeer in 200 miles, and if you make any noise in the tunnels every squad nearby will descend on you like hyenas causing a gigantic tunnel rat fight that leaves 80% of the lobby dead

>>545891058
>16 hours

>>545894497
well, now i feel bad

>storm map
>find Osprey
>salvage it so nobody would get it
I got one lying around in my stash but just like my Torrente and Venator, I'm never gonna use them because I'd probably die to some KoS shitter shooting me in the back.

>>545895039
he shouldn't have been doing a bring home quest without a loot kit anyway he is retarded. you have taught him a lesson

>>545894859
I'm not setting foot in Bluegate unless it's for a mission. I used to go rush for the Reinforced Reception gun vault and then getting the fuck out but that's quite possibly the single biggest spot for pvp clusterfuck in the game right now.

>>545894713
The decks are permanent. They give some premium currency but likely not enough to buy another deck. The current deck is free and some future decks will be free as well. They are permanent like Helldivers warbonds and not fomo limited time stuff like other battlepasses.

>>545895125
This is like watching someone hoard stitcher 4s as some kind of rare treasure.

>>545894818
spaceport because there's basically no pvp

>>545895238
A good idea in theory. In practice this battlepass and its cosmetics are complete ass.

>>545895125
Salvaging shit is hilarious. I got trapped in the security room at water treatment and heard a trio getting closer so I stuck the only blueprint up my ass and salvaged every other thing in the room before they breached the door and killed me

I think Arc Raiders is a good template to copy and expand to a new genre. Maybe some base building/pokemon/trading.

>>545895435
I'll hold onto my thoughts till we see the paid deck. At least I can farm the blue coins in the meantime to use on the new deck if I decide to get it

>>545895675
>basebuilding
kys

>>545895435
That's a separate issue entirely.

>>545895435
the ryder outfit with the full mask is one of the better outfits in the game at the moment

I got this quest where you need to go to 3 locked rooms in Dam, City and Spaceport but I don't feel like doing it. I think I got the keys but... meh. The quests feel pointless in this game.

>>545895409
Spaceport is so bizarre. In theory it should be a sniper's paradise but I've never been shot at playing solo while out in the open.

>>545895762
I'm waiting for them to put a cap on blue coins like Helldivers did with medals just to stop people from doing this

>>545895950
There's this one elevator with practically no cover except a dead-end hallway. I get shot by ferro/osprey at least half the time there.

>>545895941
You get useful blueprints from some of the quests.

What the hell is with the anvil's second attachment slot? Is whatever supposed to go in there even in the game?

>>545896378
It's a gold item. Makes it shoot like a shotgun

>free kit into dam
>rush any gun shots i hear
>rush any extract call sound
so much salt from people in voip when they die kek

There just needs to be more arc patrols and arc enemies in general on all maps not just night raids, whats the big fear of the occasional hornet or wasp or snitch, at the moment the most dangerous enemy is other players, hope the new enemy variants switch it up a bit and they up the bot spawns

>>545896491
I've found 2 of them. It reduces damage by 70% or something nuts on each shot.

It sounds dogshit (but never used it cuz I horde yellows/pinks like a noob)

>>545897165
Yes if you go solo you only go against other solos

>>545896965
no mic = kos

while on blue gate, me and 6 other randos took down a queen, managed to scuttle some of the cores, feels good man

>>545897146
yes, an extraction shooter that starts to incorporate cancerous shit like basebuilding is doomed to fail.

The game is so popular because it simply is what it is. A fun casual extraction shooter with fun PVE enemies and enjoyable PVP. Doesn't need any other cancerous additions. Post your ID so I can mark you KOS. All the game needs is:

>mix and match your clothing items between sets for pure cosmetics
>more enemy types
>more weapons

Simple as

>>545898131
This game doesn't need a guide, it just makes things easier, doubletard bro

>>545887473
nta but I think he means the fact that when you're aiming your gun and strafing, it counts as a walk. Useful when you're chasing someone, being chased or fighting back against ARCs in the open

How does this game unironically have better stealth gameplay/AI than 99% of actual stealth games.

I feel like it just feels so much more realistic/immersive. I actually can't get over how good this game ended up being. It's one of the only FOTM (what I initially thought) games i've tried out and felt like the hype was deserved. And I never gave a single fuck about extraction shooters before.

>>545898387
>when you're aiming your gun and strafing, it counts as a walk
Not for the purposes of the skill. It's been tested already. Unless you activate the walk keybind it does absolutely nothing.

>>545898693

>inb4 hurr durr le Thief games that I TOTALLY played btw!

>>545899000
Thief

>>545891040
i've come to the conclusion that pvpve games will always devolve into this because the pve isn't interesting enough and there's no significant punishment for losing a pvp engagement
always thought that a game with a deep progression tree and ample creative outlets like painting, in-game instruments, and other random assortments of fun things to do coupled with a very high risk to reward for pvp would be the perfect game that no one would play, because at that point, you're just emulating life in a really shitty way.
the only "high risk" would have to be temp bans for losing. think r9k, where every time you lose an engagement that you initiated puts you in a progressive ban system that exponentially increases until it reaches the wipe period. think 1min -> 2min -> 4min -> 8min etc
the system has so many problems (what about duos not being able to play with their banned friends? what about mechanical skill rust during down time?) that i know it will never be implemented.
i also realize pve isn't the main focus of the game and is meant to compliment the pvp, so embark should never do it. it's a bad idea for games that only autists think about (such as myself)
tldr: any game where you can pvp will eventually become a race to mastery and become a trustless wasteland where everyone only pvps for rewards because the pve rewards suck, and the only way to incentivize pve is to make pvp punish the player by forcing them to not play, which both embark will never and should never do and will never be a feature in any game.

>>545898865
wtf I was misinformed. That skill SUCKS. Whoever came up with that skill idea should be shot

>>545899000
Thief was before my time. Tried it out recently but it's just too old for me personally. I'd say Chaos Theory was one of the first ones I played (bank mission is a core memory), Styx Master of Shadows and MGSV (even if I think MGSV sucked overall). Ground Zeroes was pure stealth kino. This game just has believeable stealth, I dunno how to explain it beyond how it "feels".

What does a flare mean?

>several drones flying around area, alerted
>know there's another raider there
>go over to see if he needs help
>he immediately starts shooting me, alerting all the drones
>knocks me, gets knocked by drone
>call him a stupid motherfucker before i die

>>545898693
i think arc spawns (besides the big ones that patrol areas) are based on many things including player presence, and they use machine learning to move

Are the augmented slots special somehow or do they just take away a general slot for a slot that can only hold certain items?

>>545899264
The entire game feels like some Terminator Salvation shit.

It's pure kino

This should just be common sense but most people don't seem to understand that if you spawn late in the raid, then you have a murderhobo lobby and you shouldn't trust anyone.

>>545886186
It's only use case is if you can get away from a fight to begin with. No one is going to just let you slow walk to regen stam mid fight. If you are using it on long runs, then you're even stupider because you can just regen stamina while sliding or you can craft a billion adrenaline shots since they are cheap as shit and plastic parts get used for nothing else.

>>545899264
The beat example of machine learning are leapers those fuckers will actually learn to juke you

>>545899552
It's extra storage for specific item types.

Pretty much worthless.

What the fuck is with the container storage on spaceport? Every single time I've gone there, without fail, there are like 5 KOS niggers all lighting each other and me up. It's like the designated pvp zone of the game. Is there some ridiculous loot there or something?

Is there anything stopping me from massing 30 snitch scanners then bringing them all into a match?

>>545899836
It's classed as high loot but there's almost no loot containers there so I don't know what to tell you. I only know of the barricaded room up top and even that doesn't have great container spawns.

>>545899914
no, lol

>>545899938
I'll be honest, none of the maps other than dam really have any loot worth caring about. The loot density on dam is just so much higher

>>545899914
Not really other than the hassle of farming them.

There might be a cap on the amount of arc you're able to spawn. Go and find out.

>>545899256
that guy was a stupid motherfucker

>>545900040
Buried City is good for treasures if you just want to rat around in empty apartments all day. I've also heard that getting specific blueprints from specific loot zone types (like grenade blueprints pop up more in residential), but it's anecdotal and could be placebo.

>>545900278
what

>>545900231
woah, that loot is insane bro!

I wish the matchmaking was looser desu. I've never once run into a duo or trio while solo, only teamed up solos and loner solos. Yeah, it's unbalanced expecting a solo to go up against trios, but part of the fun of being a solo in games like these is breaking down trios and laughing the entire time. Dark and Darker nailed this during it's many betas, but then they added the solo map and then they also added solo matchmaking into the bigger maps. It's so boring.

>>545900278
nigga. I had a 4790k in 2015, what are you doing

>>545900405
i can hear you sniffling as you type
was it you that dropped the hatch key? better question, why the fuck are you extracting at an elevator when you have a hatch key? probably because you wanted to try to get a cheap kill. faggot

thanks for the free upgraded guns btw

this is what friggers call good loot

>>545898234
you are delusional, there is no way to know you need specific items until the game tells you

is the deluxe version worth getting

>>545900231
I agree KOS fags deserve eternal punishment but that's some scraps

>>545901008
Yeah and once you need them, you know, therefore a guide isn't needed, mega ultra retardbro

Anon, that poster is the KOS fag. He KOS'd two people who were hoping to just jump into his extract.

now THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT BABY

>>545901103
You're technically paying for the coins and you get two skins along with it. I don't personally like them but if you do then I say go for it

>>545899093
ARC needs to lean in on the PvEvP aspect.
New bots, maps and gear for a while. Even if its as minor as like, a fireball but it shoots Hornet tazers at you.

>>545897743
what is scrap yard?

>>545901397
That's even more embarrassing

>>545901578
South end of dam. Don't forget to breach the square metal boxes too, they drop gears.

What do you think of this?

>>545901121
I don't think you understand the problem at all, stop replying to me thanks

>>545902112
it's like half a second faster with 5 points in

>>545902202
It's 6% per point but thanks for playing.

>>545902290
i just don't see the point personally
anyone will hear you regardless and the situation where you happen to breach something .5 seconds fast enough to not get shot in the back seems really unlikely

>>545902190
You're retarded, that's the problem that needs to be addressed.

>>545898083
do at night.
first wave you can do 10k in dam swamp or outside blue gate
hornets i would do on spaceport just go around killing them
ticks fireballs pops are best on buried city i think since u can go to the train stations which always spawn them.
do at night = x2

>>545902508
You're definitely a free kit exit camper.

Does anyone know if remote bombs or shock mines in an extract with open doors stay there once they close? I know corpses do

>faggots still arguing over guides

I'm never going into a game without a hatch key again. Being able to run to the outskirts of a map away from everyone else and still be able to extract is incredible

>>545869072
i know someone like this. if i'm going to buy a game to play with them, it's going to be a game i had interest in playing in the first place.

if they REALLY wanted me to play, they'll buy it for me

>>545899227

it sends one out when you get downed, but you'll only see it if it happened outdoors

>>545903145
Solos are the best: you have the perfect balance between people wanting your shit and people just minding their own business. You don't have any of that in groups

security breach needs a complete rework
the entire skill tree needs a rework for that matter
why the fuck is the ability to craft shield rechargers, more carry weight, AND the ability to open guaranteed high tier lockers all on the survival tree? who the fuck thought these through? why the fuck isn't more carry weight in the conditioning tree?

keep fov on 70 or bump it up

>>545869072
>vg thread
>99% of the people play solo and no one ever asks for groups or hosts groups
Many such cases

>>545898083
>>545902557
Different Anon, but the Pop, Fireball etc. trial is really gay because you usually only get 1 decent spot and the rest are cleared out by others. Even at night, you need more than 1 spot to get to 4k, so this is just tedious.

>>545903769
something like +1 max shield tier in conditioning would be busted, letting you medium shield on cheapo mk2 lootings

>>545903881
Just run around outside for like 3 minutes and all the arc inside will respawn

>>545904013
>respawn
huh???

>>545903843
>/vg/ thread
>I ask "anyone EU wanna team up?"
>no replies

>>545903881
They respawn all the time specially at train stations

>>545903769
They can easily throw out 90% of the perks in this tree and nobody would give a shit.

Oh no not my 10% faster stamina recovery while I'm crouch walking! Not my extra stamina regeneration when using a healing item!

Every raid i've been in is full of no mic KOS niggers or I get spawn killed. This game isn't interesting anymore

>>545903881
just go around different buildings in buried city, if you spend 30 mins in a raid its easy to get to 4k

Own a ferro for defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Three ruffians break into my testing annex locked room. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Speranza rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my Anvil on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the sentinel mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel alert every wasp and hornet within 500 meters. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the arc to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

>>545903769
They rearranged the skill tree in the last couple months and probably didn't test it enough. Field crafting used to be available by default too.

>>545904013
>>545904126
What the actual fuck? All I ever see is their smoking husks.

>>545904090
The game is constantly respawning enemies whenever there's no one around to keep it alive for people who join mid match

>>545903769
The problem isn't that survival is good but that other trees aren't as good.

>doing annoying quest
>find a guy doing the same one in the last part

i'm never helping any of these faggot normie players again and i'm gonna kos from now on thanks, have fun dealing with another 10k hour fps NEET (me) you niggers.

Where do I go to find out the numbers?

>>545904916
I don't know, it was just a guess based on experience. I'm sure some autistic youtuber or redditor did the comparison.

>>545905001
The first time I broke the back weakpoint on a bastion I thought It was completely fucked and walked in front of it to taunt it for fun. Fucker got back up in a few seconds

awwww yisssssss

>>545905272
lol I found this thing in a random ass container in the middle of nowhere

just reached a million credits. The fuck am I supposed to do with them?

>>545905136
Bastion are fun to fight. Grenadiers are complete aids tho

didnt even loot him, i just wanted to see a faggot suffer

>>545905468
why? just duck in and out of a house and throw 3-4 blaze grenades and it's dead

>>545905395
I think you get bonuses for how much money you have before an expedition reset? Or was it the inventory value or maybe both

>>545905696
I don't have blaze nades!! Where's that fucking blueprint aaaaaaaa

>>545904662
Pretty sure only the outdoor ones respawn

>>545905913
Go farm some burner bots and throw their part instead. It also causes fire.

>>545901423
I have not seen a single person use this in a raid once, kinda weird

>>545905958
I can confirm the ones indoor ones respawn because I've had fireballs spawn on my ass out of things air

>a million ways to deal with grounded enemies, including hiding in buildings and doing the peak n shoot strategy
>literally the only way to deal with a rocketeer is to peak n shoot
They made this thing so retardedly strong. Grounded enemies? Throw a lure, throw a couple fire nades, it's dead. Rocketeer? Nades going to miss as it swerves and jukes at mach speed, if it stays still long enough for your grenade to hit it also means you're about to eat 1-3 rockets in the face. Wolfpack doesn't one shot it, so you need 2-3 of the most rare grenade in the game. Showstopper and getting on top of it and it will just fly 500 yards in the sky and then turn 90 degrees to send you falling to your death.
Remove some of this bitch's armor or health ffs.

>>545905958
They do. In the dam buildings where there's big pipes (water treatment I think) and a lot of those bots, I went through those twice about 10 minutes apart and there were new bots.

ONE MORE

>throw wolfpack at survey drone because fuck you
>teammate immediately start sprinting towards it

>>545901849

and the guy was a jerk too

its... its over.

how does the hidden bunker work

>>545907479
no one knows yet

>>545906451
i killed a rocketeer with a random buddy on buried ground by using the window roof bunker. it was a lot of work.

>>545880113
solo KOS niggers suck at the game and don't kovaaks regularly. Have fun getting beamed by my stitcher after you miss your anvil followup.

if you wear any form of mask or helmet you are a KOSnigger and will be KoS'd

Just killed someone from 150m with two ferro headshots as they were sprinting. I feel fucking dirty but god DAMN were those good fucking shots

>>545907927
Kettle slander

>load up spaceport THREE times
>can't find a single mushroom at the designated mushroom tree
wtf

>>545907769
is it happening right this moment?
and no it's been going for a few days, I think it only runs like twice a day
there's a bunch of antennas on the map you activate and then you head into the bunker where you have to activate some shit but no one's figured out what you're supposed to do in the bunker

>>545907927
why is anvil on that list? it's a blueprint weapon you need an upgraded bench to even craft

>>545907714
I had a fear of loosing shit tol after several catastrophic runs.
Then I applied one advice provided by an /arg/ anon :
If it's setting there getting dust, better sell it or use it.

Now I use everything from my stash without any fear.

I still loose a lot, but it's less stressfull

>>545891375
Not really.

>>545908303

G-great
Like 8 minutes had passed too, why did it not go patrol somewhere else and why did it clone itself?

>>545908745
Someone else was probably trying to do the same thing

>>545908745
mithocondria is the powerhouse of the cell anon!

>>545908621
I like rattler 4 better than the arpeggio. If I ever have to reload it I'm either already using my sidearm or dead. I like being able to magdump it and actually keep pace with other close range guns where if you get caught close with the arpeggio you're probably just dead.

>>545906590
there can be like 3+ vaults on one

so if an anvil rat ambushes you it's pretty much lights out if you have a light shield, how well does a medium shield hold up?

>celeste will only sell you 3 of a type of gun parts per day
The game is basically asking that I hoard rare guns guns and only use kettles and ferros

>>545904159
Retard.

:D

>>545909120
You survive one more shot

>>545909274
Nice loot friend, now you just have to kill a queen!

>>545908383
You can buy three a day though.

>>545909120
As long as you have any shield, you get the damage reduction to the entire hit. Light shield gets 100% destroyed on the first hit of a ferro or anvil. Medium shield is still up.

That's the only reason medium shield is any good.

>>545909458
Maybe, we'll see. I have like 10 wolfpacks but I want to learn how she works first.

>>545902202
Its 3 seconds faster. 0 skill takes 10 seconds.
5 points in it is 7 seconds.

>>545909274
Solo?

>>545909117
I know and I made sure to check the parts he would be most likely to open first. Anyway I only needed one but fuck that guy

>>545910173
Solo'd a harvester yes. First time too and almost died at the extract because of some rat bastard.

>>545885417
I am going all in on mobility i dont give a fuck.

>>545909274
nice! i got mine earlier today too. teamed up with a guy on spaceport, we were ready to go to the extraction and he told me he was excited because he got the equalizer blueprint. earlier he told me he had a free loadout, so i was pretty sure he didn't have a safe pocket. anyway i killed him with my anvil to check if he was telling the truth, looted him, and sure enough he was. we were travelling together for probably 15 or so minutes before that happened. i hope he gets that blueprint again on another one of his runs

>>545907451
do you have a mag accelerator?
recycle it, you won't need one for a long while and you trip over them in tech areas

Should I use an electrocloak to be sure to loot sentinel cores in night raids? Do they respawn? Or is there another source for them?

>>545902485
retard

>>545910337
Any tips? Never done it before myself but it's about time

Finally, the courier blessed me with the sentinel core.

>>545910341
I like my 15 points in mobility, I zoom around like a rat should

brick pilled

is it just me or is testing annex a PVP zone? I swear every time I go there it ends in a firefight

>>545908745
were the rocketeers giggling that you fell for their decoy flare?

>>545910421
You can get them from downed ARC couriers.

>>545910943
it is definitely a pvp hotspot

>got jumped by a rattler free kit who stood in the open shooting and reloading until he died
Did Embark add raider bots?

>>545910943
Testing Annex is too easy for extract camping. I assume anybody inside the building or going towards it is a KOS extract camping faggot so I kill them immediately.
I dont even bother extracting there anymore because you can guarantee there is always somebody in the building waiting to kill you.

realistically how can extract camping be fixed?

>>545911067
nah that was just tyresius III

>>545901828
im about to start this game, what should i know about the skill tree

>>545911292
look it up lazy fag

>>545911202
Increase the radius that ARC can hear noises, so when the elevator is called there are always ARC on it.

Sadly they will probably just disable the ability to plant anything near the extract like they did with ziplines.

>>545910421
Buried City at night, go straight to town hall.
Electrocloak is unnecessary, just bring a gun that shoots heavy ammo (anvil works great here), and peek-shoot the turrets till they blow up. Keep your head on a swivel, the noise will attract roving Wasps.
Since its night, the nearest exits will be blocked, so follow the magenta arrow into a metro entrance under the parking garage.
If you have your wits about you, it should only take about 6 minutes.

>423k peak
HOW DOES IT KEEP GROWING A WEEK AFTER RELEASE

>>545911202
Increase the amount of ARC enemies so it keeps everyone on the edge. Hope the two new ARCs we are getting in the next couple of weeks are annoying as hell

>>545910652
based

>>545911450
almost 450k now
maybe we can hit 500k today

>>545911372
fuck you nigger bitch. can you also say slurs in this game or will the ai ban me.

>>545910462
Bring a lot of healing items and enough ammo. I almost ran out of ammo when killing the yellow things and I was running low on bandages as well. That's mostly because it was my first time and I took a lot of unneccesary damage.

You can slip back in as soon as the fire stops but it's tricky to time. Best to run in a bit earlier and take a bit of damage than to stay outside and having to breach it open again.

The loot in the breached containers is not worth it. I opened it all but it was mostly energy ammo and blue ARC parts. Focus on finding the 3 canisters and nothing else.

>>545908621
bettina is f even fully upgraded but leviticus is a retard so it doesn't really matter either way

security room on blue gate is just rape central holy shit

>>545910943
Testing annex has an elevator next to it. There's a lot of rat bastards there. The building gives a great vantage point for sniping or grenading people who want to leave.

>Go to Testing Annex extract after finding 1 (UNO) rusted gear

No clue why the first guy didn't use the cloak. Fuck campers. I'm bringing defibs and snitch scanners from now on.

>maxed out 280 stash too
Tired of this shit

>>545911814
If you have security breach capstone, just wait until 10 minutes are left and then go loot those 2 security lockers. They are almost NEVER opened.

Turned off crossplay. Queues are longer. Haven't really run into players yet to decide if it's better than playing with console shitters.

>>545912069

I think I will just play solo from now on. I like playing stealthy and this is too much.

>>545911915
This game is just a glorified inventory manager at this rate.

>>545912226
Hmm a lot of sweats in your server region I suppose. Still, there are other spots that don't need a key and have lockers; Just check the online map.

>>545912379
Immediately closed the game when I first saw the inventory

>>545912379
>>545911915
stop hoarding

>objective: kill an ARC
its over for me

>>545912507
The game encourages hoarding given its arbitrary as upgrade requirements for workshops and weapon crafting.

>>545912379
I'd do the expeditions if I knew at least what the cosmetics are. I already get dunked on by back shooters. Not like having better stats would help me.

>>545912507
>oops you sold that random item with no description that is now required for a quest hehe :)

>>545911915
280 is plenty if they let us stack more stuff, because that's what's bloating my stash. I got 2 rows of wolfpacks right now and that's just 8 grenades...

>>545910359
>anyway i killed him with my anvil

>>545912507
>stop hoarding
>when the game throws silly upgrade requirements at you like 5 humidifiers or 8 snitch scanners

>>545876372
Nate, fine. But fucking Nuck, and Nill? You ruined your own joke at that point, lmao.

>>545913016
That means they aren't on my favorite maps

The most valuable objects in the game are. Bastion or rocketeer parts? No. The queen reactor? Lol.

It's rusted gears and industrial batteries because FUCK you.

Any tips for a newfag? Specifically a newfag trying to only kill people in self defense?

What's the level cap? Do you get enough skill points to max out the entire tree?

>>545913392
Why ask questions on 4chan that are truly easier to fucking google?

Hey bros I tried to post this to r*ddit because I'm fucking tired of picking at it but I got autofiltered and discord is too fucking retarded to engage with. Shame on me for thinking otherwise I guess but I found some shit out about the terminals in the bunker.
The bunker terminal plays a 4FSK modulated transmission containing a CCSDS Space Packet. You can find the dump of the packet here: https://pastebin.com/kCgXHL5K
I'm fucking sick of staring at space packet documentation so I hope someone else runs with this, I've only recorded audio from one single terminal, maybe the others have a clue. If you cross-reference the packet with CCSDS documentation you can find out it's definitely a satellite in orbit sending temperature probe data somewhere, but I couldn't find any satellite that operates at 19 baud over 4FSK. Have a good one retards.

>>545913245
People are a lot less likely to shoot a passerby if they announce themselves. Either on voice chat or emote quickly with G + up for 'don't shoot'. I almost never get attacked that way when crossing paths with someone in bumfuck nowhere, but stay wary until they're out of view regardless.

This also goes for extract points. Don't just sit in the bushes while another guy called the elevator and then rush in there hoping for the best. If you don't announce yourself he'll be a lot more likely to shoot.

>>545913595

>>545913245
You're going to suffer if your mentality is to only shoot on self defense. Trust me, I was like you. The nature of this game is that you are at an extreme disadvantage if someone gets the drop on you. Can you still win the fight? Sure, but don't bet on it. If your gut tells you a guy is not trustworthy, believe it and either shoot first or disengage.
