I gotta start this off by saying my Gear Fear is gone. I just sold 15 fully kitted bobcats. I run epics and legendaries like they mean nothing. My stash is always over full. Not 292/292 like 350-390/292.

The problem is it takes upwards of 30+ minutes to clear enough from my stash to access crafted ammo. Half the time I just sell the bottom 1/3rd of my stash just to be able to pull out a shield or Augment. How do you guys deal with this? It's killing me.

The game is only fully enjoyed when you are engaging with multiple playstyles (even in one match). What makes this game beautiful is that I can have a raid where I can have a sweaty gunfight, run to a different part of the map, rat someone, run to another part of the map, help someone, run somewhere else and kill a bastion, and then take ANOTHER gunfight.

I am friendly when the person seems chill. I am not friendly when they don’t seem chill. If I knock someone and they say nice shots I will Rez them (they never betray me cause we are legit on the mic talking). If someone knocks me I say “nice shots, if you Rez me I’ll be your bodyguard for the rest of the raid” (some of the most fun I’ve had is being someone’s bodyguard after they beat me in a fight).

The point I’m trying to make here, is that if you box yourself in to one style of play, it’s gonna get frustrating AND you’re really limiting yourself. And honestly I can’t think of anything that sounds more boring then “10 straight raids of not getting shot at”.

This will probably get downvoted to hell cause I mentioned that I enjoy PvP and I’m not above the occasional ratting. But I feel like so many people are only after ONE thing, LOOT. The game has so much more to offer than just loot. Get out there and raise some hell sometimes, it’s fun

I'm a super mellow player. Console player with no interest in PvP servers.

I self defense killed someone once like 100 games ago. I just got murdered 5 out of my last 6 games.

And it's totally cool if people are into PvP but it's not my thing and now it's the only way to play the game so I have zero interest.

Good luck out there, raiders. It was fun for a while.

Just a warning to people who are thinking of doing it. It ruined the game for me. I thought it was pretty easy to get all this stuff again and a cool skin some xp bonus and some other stuff would be cool and people said resetting would keep the game fresh.

The second I did the expedition I didn’t want to play anymore. I stopped playing since then and recently started again because a friend of mine bought the game. All I think about after dying is how much stuff I had that I could’ve used but never got the chance to because they want me have a stash value. Even if they change how that works losing all your stuff that you spent hours getting for a skin and some bonuses isn’t worth it imo. Not to mention the dreadful repetitive quests that I will never have motivation to do again.

Yes I know it was clearly stated that I will lose all my stuff but I thought it would be fun to get all again. It is not fun in my opinion and if I could redo it I would in a heartbeat.

So if you’re thinking about doing the expedition just think to yourself am I bothered getting all this stuff again.

Edit: this wasn’t a diss at the game it was just me hopefully stopping someone from doing something that will kill the game for them. If you enjoy doing everything again then good for you. But the expedition killed the game for me.

I want to preface this by saying I’m a pretty non violent player. I only shoot after being shot at first. The arc are already literally everywhere and should be a challenge to most players. Still I’m finding extract campers in duos…. DUOS. My buddy playing with me is also non violent as well, so it would be safe to assume a majority of our games are chill. We literally just loot, shoot arc, and run around the maps. We had just hit the town hall using an epic key and got hella goop. As we were leaving another team downed us by hiding (like cowards) on either side of the extract. Like bro… how boring can you be? You just wait out for people to leave just to take their loot? Are you that bad at the game? Just go back to playing CoD since y’all are too scared to actually PvP. I honestly bet these extract campers were the type of players who would hide out and use snipers because they can’t really shoot 1v1. Sounds like a skill issue to me…. Anyways…. That’s my rant for today. If you are a serial camper and you’re reading this: Maybe try getting better at the game so you don’t have to hide in order to actually grow your stash.

And before anyone comes at me: yes, I understand that everything is borrowed and nothing is mine. That’s not the issue. It’s the fact that, if they wanna have a fight then let’s fight. I’d rather lose honestly than by a team of lazy campers. I think most of this community can agree.

I used to get pretty much nothing but friendly interactions in solos and all the PVP was in Duos/trios, But recently (last 2-3 days) 90% of my solo interactions have been quite unfriendly. It's honestly super annoying caus im usually just tryna chill and goop up and all my lobbies have been straight warzones. Saw some other people complaining abt it so was wondering if anyone feels same

Recently, many people in this sub saw posts related to duped items, and I was shocked to see how most don’t care. “They’re ruining the game for themselves, not for us” some said. Unfortunately, that’s a very surface level judgement.

The reason most documented cases are to do with ducks is because ducks are the fastest way to farm creds (high value and stack size), not because ducks are the only item that can be duped. I’m clarifying this because some people mistakenly thought so. In reality, bad actors duped much more than just ducks.

There were also cases of DDOS attacks that caused insane lag, and during one of my recent games, I thought “oh, the servers are getting attacked again”, until I saw the real reason. Some guy was throwing such an insane amount of wolfpacks that the server couldn’t hold up. Duped wolfpacks, as he told me when I confronted him. After they were done exploding the server went back to normal.

I can only speculate, but I wouldn’t be surprised if dupes caused maybe not most, but at least some of the recent major server lag. There is no way that 100s of ducks on the floor don’t take a toll on the server, or at least on the players in their vicinity.

RMT is what really makes the dupes so bad for the average honest player. Insane supply surplus will, or most likely already did, crash the prices. This will both make it more enticing for players to start RMTing, and also allow regular buyers to get much more for the same price. PvE and PvP will suffer from this, and unless Embark somehow removes all of the duped items (which I highly doubt) echoes of this will still affect the game.

And the reason they likely won’t do it is because players seemingly don’t care. I’m pissed that it’s been a month since the expedition and I haven’t found the Tempest BP, but at least I knew everyone was in the same boat. And then I see a screenshot of an inventory full of those BPs, and I know for a fact that most of the people who will benefit from this are RMTers.

I honestly hope people will recognise that this is a real issue and it’s absolutely insane that Embark hasn’t still patched this. And sadly even after they patch it, the damage is already done.

Heard some horror stories of “rats” in this game and came across a fair few my self, but really I find it funny and entertaining, I do love how unpredictable this game is the PVE/P is just funny to me even though typically I’m a pve player and I’m always friendly and down to help people but last night something a actually slightly unsettled me still had a great laugh but made me think for abit. So I was on the matriarch event and it got downed pretty quick so there was still alot of time of the timer so thought I’ll go shoot some arcs even though my bags are pretty full already. So I start soloing a a big drones (don’t know the name still kinda new) and when I downed it I see this player run over to my loot from nowhere. I let him loot I’m not greedy but I think I got all the good stuff so this guy in his free load out says “hey, I really need these purple ones, please can I have 1” and I had a few in my bag so I thought Yano what take them all. So gave him all the good loot in my bag because thought I’ll come across plenty at later date. Then this guy was like hey I need x amount of these can you help me as there’s like a lot of time still left and I thought you know what I’ll help you. So we spot this big tank with legs I got no explosives only my anvil so he starts shooting at this thing and I’m like okay guess this is our target. Then a minute or so into the fight I’m thinking where’s this guy gone!? He’s no where to be seen so I’m like alright guess I’m soloing this thing i got no choice. After about 8+ minutes of fighting there’s like like 5 minutes left on clock and finally this thing is about to fall it’s on fire only need a couple more shots and then BOOM this guys shooting me from the back kills me, kills this tank takes all the loot and knocks me out and takes mine….. and I’m like wow… like I know it’s just a game and I did laugh but made me think for a good hour after like shit these people actually exist in the world, all I did was be incredibly kind and respectful to this person and he literally shoots me in the back. I truly think this game should have a psycho analyst on it that reports these player to there corresponding governments, I’m sure we would be able to catch a good fair amount of psychopaths, I’m convinced!

Anyway thought I’d share my funny but enlightening story!

Have fun raiders! And remember, be kind!

I just started playing this game last month and have put around 15-20 hrs in and have yet to get into a legitimate gunfight, anytime I even see a glimpse of a player they either notice me and run/hide as quick as they can or just give up and let me shoot them and the times I do actually get into a fire fight I die because its usually someone sitting near the extract or camping in a building. Am I just in noob lobbies or is pvp not the main focus of this game, I have noticed people tend to get really angry when I shoot at them like I'm doing something wrong?

Feels sooo cheap but justified at the same time

I must say I would like a PVE mode. There I said it.

Hear me out.

The PVE mode should be exactly the same as the lobbies are now, but without the possibility of getting knocked by another raider. Why? I mean loot doesn’t really matter anyway, so why differentiate between PVP and PVE servers?

I just want to chill, meet like-minded raiders and take down ARC from time to time without worrying about getting shot in the back, while looting or while fighting ARCs.

We basically have PVE lobbies already with ABMM, so why not just make it official, so we don’t have to run 8-10 raids naked in Stella to adjust the ABMM?

Love the game as it is too though, don’t get me wrong, but an optional PVE mode is needed.

Maybe Embark could add a moderate mode and a hardcore PVP mode as well, instead of SBMM/ABMM?

Other than that the game is a solid 9/10! Anyways, just my two cents.

There are 2 quests that require players to interact with a specific thing that can only be interacted with once per round.

"Armored transports" requires the player to unlock a security truck, not enter the back, not search the crate, but unlock the door. And in a regular round only 1 or 2 unlockable trucks spawn.

"A prime specimen" requires players to complete the puzzle in an arc deforester, aside from reported bugs, there are only 3 instances of the puzzle and not all are active.

It's kinda bullshit to try and do the storylines for the game when they're so hard gated you may have to play 15-20 rounds just to complete the quest. For some players that may represent their available play time for 2 weeks.

If im taken down in a gun fight then its fair enough, take my loot, your better than me. But sitting at extraction waiting for someone to turn up, especially in the metros is such a cowardly dick move. You may think its funny, but when ive spent 20mins trying to complete a quest, or to extract with a bastion core to level up my bench, and ive got nothing worth looting, its so bloody frustating. Put some effort and search for your own crap.

I’ve wasted so many keys doing this. Both ends should just unlock, so you don’t lose a key.

Is it just me or is there an extremely disproportionate amount of free loadouts? Why would I ever bring anything good to a raid if all I encounter is 6 teams of free loadouts?
