no Anti Virus kit POV

[proud tulip]

Dire marsh is a flat nightmare you can kill anyone from algee ponds with a good sniper

[normal fable]

I need to bring some av kits next time I run dire to do lockdowns

[brazen shadow]

I always forget to bring mine

😭

[candid yacht]

gotta farm those keys fellas

[digital gate]

welcome back to potato gaming, here's a UESC stuck on the glass

[edgy elk]

hi

[drifting shore]

how to farm lockdowns solo theres allways one guy left on the map 😭

[candid yacht]

this weekend lot of compilers will die

[candid yacht]

hello

[proud tulip]

Rook rulez

[candid yacht]

no rooks in solos

[drifting shore]

probably true yeah

[digital gate]

I really need to know what this icon means because it's the bane of my existence

[tight swallow]

some time it be like that for 15m straight, not trying to sit AFK for the first 15m just for the map to be playable

[drifting shore]

why didnt i think about rook lmao i got the anti virus upgrade

[digital gate]

the moment it pops up I know a player is nearby and my framerate goes below 30

[brazen shadow]

I gotta see if they’re gonna make any changes in terms of the days. Because I remember feeling like the weekends only thing didn’t bother me but I realized my team can’t get on on weekends so I’m fucked now

[proud tulip]

Exactly

[candid yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-solid-spotted-seen-alert-enemy-spotted-gif-26363851

[edgy elk]

fog is good cover, or just go inside a house

[normal fable]

don't shut off the lockdown

just keep up your AV

[proud tulip]

And dont forget you can fight along side with UESC

[candid yacht]

the humble thermal outland/longshot:

[tight swallow]

one directionally good cover, if you're on the wrong side of the map, GG you lose

[edgy elk]

go inside a house

[brazen shadow]

Really? Damn wtf

[drifting shore]

yeah but i think i just got upgrade 2 that never enough to do all 3 lockdowns

like i think its 80 seconds

[normal fable]

then don't greed for all three

[drifting shore]

so i gotta get lucky to get av after first right ?

[normal fable]

loot what you can and run

[drifting shore]

i wanna farm them for red card

i dont need anything else

[candid yacht]

theres data corruption cards that turn off the corruption

on some pois

[tight swallow]

If you know the ins and outs of the map and how the fog works, yeah you can just straight see people through it while they can't see you

[lyric trail]

What?

[drifting shore]

yeah ik but risky as rook when u dont know how many teams still alive

[candid yacht]

true

[edgy elk]

guys im tired

[drifting shore]

like im trying to figure out what is the best way to farm red cards when my stack isnt there yk

[woeful parcel]

You aint doing em on rook then. Go in fully geared with 2 stacks of anti virus

And youll do all 3 ez

The good shit is in the last lockdown

[drifting shore]

yeah but in solo u got like 12 people on the map u wont ever clear all people cuz u wont find them all

[lyric trail]

Every time I try this I get matched with 2 free kit shitters :(

[woeful parcel]

Most wont have anti virus

[drifting shore]

i feel like i allways get ratted at 2nd or third lockdown

[sonic creek]

Rook == god

[woeful parcel]

Dont take the field down

And only people with anti virus can get inside as you fight

[drifting shore]

yeah i guess just gotta me more pain tolerant

solo

[woeful parcel]

Solo, not random fill lol

[drifting shore]

i mean as trio we almost never die its just painful getting ratted

[tight swallow]

Everytime I do solo Lockdown, there's always an Assassin waiting at the Second Lockdown

[drifting shore]

exactly

[woeful parcel]

Just did traxus last quest. What a load of shit solo. First try free kit, okay not enough heals or ammo

[tight swallow]

And BTW I never drop the shield

[edgy kestrel]

[woeful parcel]

2 more 4k sponsored kits. Someone came and killed me as I did it (knew that would happen)

[proud tulip]

Or do it with friends full triage crew 😅

[drifting shore]

legit had better survival rate solo fill and going to do them solo while my randoms quest its so weird how trios is safer even alone then solos

[woeful parcel]

4th time fully geared with 30 claymores. I land mined all the bot spawns(and behind me) and one shot all waves

Ezpz 😂

[edgy kestrel]

Are lockdowns good for Cryo keys ?

I need cry 06 and cry01 keys

[woeful parcel]

Dont lie. You have none

[lyric trail]

Ive found several 01 keys in the pinwheel master key room

[drifting shore]

probably the best way after vaults themselfd

[edgy kestrel]

I have 4 of them and 1 extra Cryo 5 key

[tight swallow]

the best way to get no.6 is from Lockdown

[edgy kestrel]

Yeah I got 2 Cryo keys from there

[edgy kestrel]

I see thanks

[drifting shore]

nah from gold vaults

so if u dont get ur key this week try to farm ur gold vaults thats ur best bet rn

[edgy kestrel]

From Cryo ? I don't think it will be easy to do with randoms tho

I will try

But I am kinda scared

[drifting shore]

i mean doing the card 6 wont be easy anyway solo my man

[edgy kestrel]

😭

[drifting shore]

u should do it with premades

[edgy kestrel]

Exfiling is the actual problem

[woeful parcel]

Youre not doing it with random fill

[drifting shore]

if u get a red and dk who to run it with we could try to get u trough we alrdy done 2 but no ai 😄

[tight swallow]

You can run Cryo solo, but you'll need to know the ins and outs and be a master of the map... not really worth it

[edgy elk]

im in my car

[edgy kestrel]

It will be 100% spawn next week

I think

[drifting shore]

yep we so pissed we used our cards 😭

[edgy kestrel]

Hm I need to know how to avoid pvp

Maybe stock up on smoke grenades ?

[tight swallow]

don't use smokes

[candid yacht]

this weekend*

[edgy kestrel]

Oh yeah sorry

[drifting shore]

solo is hard u need to pve to really get loot it takes to much time pushing clearance alone or with bots in ur team

[tight swallow]

you just have to learn how to rotate around through the edge of the map, it's very maze like at first, but if you learn it, you can avoid most PvP

[normal fable]

smokes are great if you're thief

because you can see through them

but that's for pvp, not avoiding it

[drifting shore]

stock up on purple shield bubbles and flechettes nades and then when ever u fight start using them even if ur scared to fight enemys less likely to bomb rush u

if u dont play like this any good team insta rush u down

[normal fable]

I'm lucky when I find ONE blue shield where are y'all getting purples

[drifting shore]

cuz they will read ur not good

[normal fable]

like, even in pinwheel

[serene ledge]

Outpost bro

[tight swallow]

gotta learn the jiggle peak prefire micro

[edgy kestrel]

Getting clearance 4 is also kinda a problem

[tight swallow]

so easy to do, any good player will recognize the micro when you do it, instantly respect your position, then you use that time to run away

[drifting shore]

late quest, cryo lose loot, or pinnnacle chests in outpost in order but best is still pvp i guess

[lyric trail]

I prefire jiggle peakers

free kill every time

[normal fable]

are they all in command wing

I haven't spent much time in there

[tight swallow]

you only jiggle peak once and prefire, then you move away, we're talking about avoiding PvP not for fighitng people

[normal fable]

usually hit drone and destroyed just cause it's faster

[lyric trail]

I simply shoot empty space before they peak

and get headshot kill

[drifting shore]

each wing has 1 pinnacle chest at the end + the room u need 2 command keys and 1 orange

[normal fable]

I've been in the loot room in the center, felt like the loot was just blues

[drifting shore]

so 4 in total its not the best farm at all but ur best bet probably

[normal fable]

did I get unlucky or smth

[drifting shore]

yeah its mid tier average loot but u can get lucky

[normal fable]

ill look for the pinnacle chests

[drifting shore]

like the ways i told u earlier is actualy the order and imo armory is the worst for it

[normal fable]

still working on chipping at quests

[drifting shore]

also try to get the items needed for keys to craft them this will give u shields aswell

[tight swallow]

and if you're doing that it means you aren't chasing down the person, that's the whole point of it

[normal fable]

and haven't hit cryo yet but I know the caches are big money

the uh, sec level 3 ones

[candid yacht]

those are eh

imo

most of the time its just purple salvage which is nice

[tight swallow]

^

[candid yacht]

other than that its kinda eh, unless you go in with a bare minimum 5k loadout

you might find channel rifles/misriahs/circuit breakers sometimes

so thats like 6k per gun which is nice

[drifting shore]

what he said but rarely purple shields theres some vents tho u can learn where u find purple shields as lose loot but its hard to learn them

[normal fable]

I just want one misriah

ik I'll lose it

but I want one

[drifting shore]

yeah this map made misriah not rare anymore dw u get one 😄

[candid yacht]

i think 1 or 2 of the sec 3 rooms can be accessed through vents

[drifting shore]

yeah level 2 vents

i think

[woeful parcel]

Yup

[digital gate]

Outpost armories have Misrahs

[woeful parcel]

Watched icemanisac show one in... Todays? Video

It was really good

[digital gate]

Honestly feel like they have better loot than pinwheel

[woeful parcel]

Pinwheel is quite mid tbh

[candid yacht]

armouries meaning the 2 yellow 1 green rooms?

[woeful parcel]

Can get lucky sometimes but..

[digital gate]

Yup 2Y1G

[tight swallow]

Outpost isn't really a loot map it's more of a recovery map

for getting a quick loadout

[woeful parcel]

I mean its supposed to be a loot map haha

[candid yacht]

idk the containers at the end of each wing are nice

plus the card rooms

[woeful parcel]

Sure. Its still not mind blowing

I just run it rook. No point doing keys

[candid yacht]

yeah compared to cryo for sure

[woeful parcel]

Get out 10-20k every run if you get in and out

[tight swallow]

feel like loot in this game needs a massive buff

[digital gate]

I can actually exfil from outpost 🤣

[woeful parcel]

Cryo is the buff

[tight swallow]

not salvage and money, but like actual attachments and implants or cores you find need buffs

[tight swallow]

It's only on the weekend

And they are too slow to realize it shouldn't be

[woeful parcel]

Yes. Work up vault until weekend and then make out like kings

[normal fable]

looting tool carts as rook and just exfiling with all the mods has got me a fair few

[rain solstice]

quick question guys, when i exfill a subroutine, the whole party gets it in the codex?

[tight swallow]

And then use none of it until the next weekend?

[normal fable]

although I don't have some of the rarer stuff like scopes

[tight swallow]

Terrible cycle

[digital gate]

Yep!

[candid yacht]

no splooge it on ranked

they should stagger it so they dont overlap

then it makes sense

[thorn kettle]

If you make cryo whole week with same loot, in 2 weeks casuals or people who have life will get stomped on any map by people who farm cryo

[woeful parcel]

I mean if you make good a weekend, just use it during the week then lol

[tight swallow]

Which is also on the Weekend

[candid yacht]

they already talked about making them overlap less

[woeful parcel]

Ye devs said if its open everyday the loot needs a big nerf

[digital gate]

Already do

[tight swallow]

Also Ranked is a terrible map

[woeful parcel]

Which I agree on

[tight swallow]

And then if they don't overlap, you aren't farming ranked for Cryo keys, so you still have a terrible gameplay loop

[normal fable]

ranked map will rotate

also perimeter is fine

[spark adder]

Not even 2 weeks, they had cryo open for two days and already I'm seeing exponentially more purple shields being used

[woeful parcel]

Tbh thats probs just people getting good barter deals

[digital gate]

Ranked showed me people can be just as Unga-brained while kitted.

[thorn kettle]

Ranked is such a sweatfest and camp mode atm, snipers, nobody moves first, shit stinks

[candid yacht]

you complain there is nothing to spend the loot on, I say ranked, you say no cuz you dont get keys from ranked

????

[woeful parcel]

Ye it does

[green sable]

Purple shields are not cryo, thats barter and faction level ups

[spark adder]

Possibly but the timing is rather coincidental in that case

[twilit verge]

can you not get keys at all from ranked?

[woeful parcel]

Ofc you can

Its the same map

[twilit verge]

they might've change the loot pool

[thorn kettle]

All that ranked progress for what? Repeater skin? 😭 who even uses that gun

[candid yacht]

i mean its a regular map so no reason not to

[spark adder]

Got the gold mod for it yesterday and insta sold it 😂

[digital gate]

I had a ranked squaddie who activated the Station supply drop off spawn while we were unprepared and we got immediately attacked at long range.

[tight swallow]

I'm critiqueing the game design

[sick patio]

ranked is fun but we def need some form of oneshot protection

shit is aids

[candid yacht]

repeater, mida multitool and destroyer I believe

[edgy kestrel]

Yeah

[tight swallow]

Any game experienced game designer should know the loop as they designed it, solely b/c it's weekend limited is terrible

[candid yacht]

they already addressed it

jesus

[tight swallow]

And it should've gotten fixed immediately

[woeful parcel]

No youre whining

😂

[tight swallow]

It's a one number change

[woeful parcel]

No it shouldnt have

[spark adder]

Are you an experienced game designer then?

[tight swallow]

Or a couple lines of code of change at most

[normal fable]

I like the repeater 😢

[candid yacht]

couple lines of code of change

....

this says it all

[spark adder]

Bro has no idea

Just yapping

[tight swallow]

It is literally a couple line of code of change

At most

If they didn't design their code to allow flexibility to begin with

[edgy kestrel]

Lmao , my team also recently got smoked by a sniper

[woeful parcel]

Stop yapping dude

[edgy kestrel]

.hack// is a peak video game franchise btw

[woeful parcel]

Go make your own game. Its so ez to code

[edgy kestrel]

👆

[woeful parcel]

😂😂

[digital gate]

my only really annoyance with the loot is the game keeps putting the gun I want back into the container when I'm trying to swap it into another weapon's spot.

[candid yacht]

like one thing is criticizing it which is fine

but to then say its a couple lines of code

[tight swallow]

Coding is easy, asset creation isn't

[digital gate]

💯

[candid yacht]

besides I bet they wanted data to actually see how many people engage with it on the weekend first

[sick patio]

bro the biggest thing that pmo in this game is when you open the healing menu and select to fast and it does the last one you selected

evil ass bug

[candid yacht]

thats how you do things and not knee jerk reactions

[hearty kayak]

patch notes waiting room

[edgy kestrel]

Hopefully .hack//zero will release before 2030

[woeful parcel]

Nah man. You gotta insta change it when you see some chud on reddit make a post about it

[candid yacht]

true......

I saw a post on reddit complaining that people that are higher level and have their factions leveled are stronger....

[tight swallow]

It shouldn't've been in the game to begin with

[woeful parcel]

Nobody cares bro. Go give bungie feedback

😂😂

[tight swallow]

That shouldn't've even made it past white boarding

[sick patio]

hoping we keep fac levels and just have to get upgrades with salvage

[digital gate]

Can't wait!

[candid yacht]

nope

[sick patio]

still progression locked

[hearty kayak]

One of the bugs (?) I faced was the Anomalous Matter in-map event

[sick patio]

but just not having to do awful quests again

but ik the vip leveling would be broken

[woeful parcel]

Ye its in the ground at anomaly often@hearty kayak

[sick patio]

just wish is how it worked

[woeful parcel]

If thats what you mean

[hearty kayak]

Yeah, that wasnt my problem. It spawned right behind me LOL

[candid yacht]

theres gonna be new contracts so we will see

[hearty kayak]

My issue was, that I wasn't sure what to do with it after stabilising it

[tight swallow]

You can't take one look at the excecution of Cryo Archive and not be concerend with the capability of the games future in the hands who approved it

[woeful parcel]

Exfil it

😅

[candid yacht]

damn from criticism to dooming

jesus christ

[sick patio]

oh word i hadnt heard about that

[hearty kayak]

Yes... I figured that out eventually

[woeful parcel]

So what was the bug then?

[sick patio]

hopefully not run across the map 3 times....

[hearty kayak]

The blue map icon was still showing

and so was in the in world marker

I assumed I still had to do something with it

[candid yacht]

we are missing the new implants, mid season tuning and CARRI event

so thats still for this season

[hearty kayak]

Carri event better not be a battle royale esque toxic gas

[candid yacht]

no I think it will tie in with Season 2, if its what I think it is

[outer igloo]

Good old Sentinel Shell

[edgy kestrel]

Well I hope the next map puzzles are not going to be such a pain in the ass

[candid yacht]

you mean ARG?

[tight swallow]

You can watch a video on it

They are very simple

[woeful parcel]

Oh we are getting an actual update today.

5.1

[outer igloo]

1.0.5.1 actually

[edgy kestrel]

Cradle system looks really weird

How complex they want to make this game ?

[edgy kestrel]

Very simple when there is no one on the map except you

[tight swallow]

Cradle System is probably simple system that lets you mix and match what you need on your loot so you don't have to keep rolling until you get BIS

[candid yacht]

wdym as far as I understood it, it will just be fine tuning your stats

[frail ibex]

yeah as far as i gather it's a way to modify your shell's stats base before mods

[tight swallow]

no-no it's very simple once you know the design and the spawn locations and how to rotate around the map, it's just overwhelming at first b/c you have to learn a whole new map and new systems and new expected outcomes that you didn't have to deal with at first

[edgy kestrel]

I thought it would allow you to tweak your main stats, like hp, speed etc

[edgy kestrel]

I guess you are right but doing Cryo 06 vault is still kinda hard and risky

[normal fable]

small text at the bottom, I'm curious about new bots

more specialists seems fun

than just spamming assaults and grenadiers

and the odd ghost

[candid yacht]

New bots and [REDACTED]

[candid yacht]

I mean you have assault, recruit breacher, recruit, scout, grenadier, ghost

[edgy kestrel]

New shell is aura farming

[candid yacht]

ghost commander, assault commander, scout commander

[normal fable]

grenadier commander is terrifying

[candid yacht]

and then the 3(4?) wardens

[tight swallow]

New shell is room for concern, but hopefully cradle addresses that concern

[edgy kestrel]

His ability is probably going to be an infinite aura that scares uesc and free kit players for 20 seconds with 129 seconds coldown

[normal fable]

yeah I mean there's enough variety but I'm looking forward to more

[candid yacht]

new archetypes are concerning!!!!!

[tight swallow]

The more content you add the more muddied the loot pool gets and the harder it gets to make a full loadout

[candid yacht]

genuine nothing burger complaint because the armory exists

[normal fable]

the only things in the game that are shell specific are cores

[tight swallow]

The armory isn't gaurenteed to give you what you need

[edgy kestrel]

Just run a free kit

Or rook

[candid yacht]

you can literally buy all the cores for all the shells besides maybe the purple ones from the armory

every day

multiple times

same with implants

[tight swallow]

No you can't you can only get the ones they chose to put in there

[normal fable]

sekgen armory has loads of cores

[candid yacht]

they rotate each day

[tight swallow]

Lock n Load and Intake Vents aren't in the Armory

[candid yacht]

yes I said not all the blue ones

[tight swallow]

Not all the green ones either, it's muddied the lootpool, plus the more you add the more muddied the rotations will be as well

[normal fable]

more variety good actually

keeps the game healthy longer

it's also an extraction shooter, you shouldn't be able to have the exact loadout you want every time

[tight swallow]

more variety is good, but they will have to make sure overtime they are making sure that variety isn't going to make it too diffucult to get what you need

[normal fable]

gotta run with what you got

I picked up destroyer because I had a bunch of destroyer cores

[edgy kestrel]

Yeah

[woeful parcel]

Getting exactly what you want, when you want it

Gee that sure is some good design logic 😂😂

Stupidest shit I heard all day.

[tight swallow]

it's more complicate than that

[woeful parcel]

I cant get circuit tracers for every match

What a dogshit game

[sand grail]

guys I got a message that the server was down is this your doing?

[normal fable]

no it's just down for update lolol

[candid yacht]

maintenance

[sand grail]

is that like the next puzzle? how do I get in

[candid yacht]

its server maintenance for a new update

[neon wraith]

but i cant play dire marsh

[sand grail]

log back in, dire marsh is gone, it never existed

[hearty kayak]

whats dire marsh

[neon wraith]

maintenance is on dire marsh

and apparently its why server's down?

idk hes being all cryptic

[sand grail]

they have to take dire marsh outta the game for maintenance

[stoic atlas]

whats a marathon

[fluid lagoon]

running or something

[opal bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

[nocturne abyss]

Bungie has always done server maintenance on tuesdays. Youre most likely gonna be unable to play the game during this time every week.

[edgy kestrel]

Can we get weapon like in cyberpunk that applies status effects ?

Like that one smg that uploads quickhacks on the enemies

[wooden meadow]

Has anyone gotten clearance 5 and finished vault 7?

[verbal ruin]

plenty of ppl at this point

[lyric trail]

Literally triages ability

[pure prairie]

Thief: "Am I a joke to you?"

[pure prairie]

I don't think the TTK is low enough to justify status effect builds.

[novel shale]

someone say Cyberpunk?

[pure prairie]

Doubly so in trios. Maybe in solos because you can skulk around or draw out the fight.

[wooden meadow]

Can a friend with all 6 subroutines take me to vault 7?

[edgy elk]

do we have patchnotes

[hearty kayak]

no

[edgy elk]

why

[cerulean sphinx]

im pretty sure they release patch notes after

[nocturne abyss]

Once patch is live.

[verbal ruin]

#dev-updates will have them when we have the update im sure

[nocturne abyss]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News

[heady blaze]

yeye once patch drops we'll get it

hopefully sniper nerf plz

[cerulean sphinx]

did they patch the thief exploit yet?

[nocturne abyss]

They’ve patched nothing yet. Build isn’t deployed

[onyx trail]

I’m gonna bust

[cerulean sphinx]

yea im aware but something was patch mid weekend

[tidal tide]

impact har gold mod makes the bullets build up heat on targets

[nocturne abyss]

Matchmaking tweaks for players in low pop regions such as South America and SEA.

players in these regions were reporting that they were unable to find a match in the timeframe allocated by the matchmaker.

[lyric trail]

Can you guys hurry up with the arg so I can get my patch notes?

[woeful parcel]

Imagine if there was an arg everytime during maintenance to bring the servers back up

😂

[zealous elk]

the arg being to kill another 500 mill uesc

[novel shale]

I see some folks are new to Bungie games

[lyric trail]

No I played CE

[novel shale]

Moreso meant the folks unironically asking about “where patch notes”

Can’t wait for the single line of patchnotes for D2 tho

Cuz patchnotes over there been getting shorter and shorter every time

[nocturne abyss]

Is it “notes” when there’s only a single patch?

[novel shale]

Very true

But also guardian games starting today sooooo

Might be at least two notes

[nocturne abyss]

I can’t be too mad. It had to be all hands on deck for marathon to get this turd polished and out the door.

Not saying the current game is a turd, but this time last year it sure as hell was and needed quite a bit of elbow grease to polish into a final product 😅

[woeful parcel]

Guardian games have been enabled.
Eva lavente will give you your event card

[twin orchid]

What is this channel for

[woeful parcel]

Nothing. It was the arg channel

Well the lobby for it

[twin orchid]

Ahh

[gilded shoal]

In 50min playable right?

[nocturne abyss]

ARG that’s been solved. Now the only non art channel with img perms so it’s the defacto shitpost chan

[woeful parcel]

Its such a glow up.

[twin orchid]

XD fair

[lyric trail]

[silent flower]

ahusggggggggg

why

[nocturne abyss]

They really did have all hands on it too. I’m seeing ppl at Bungie in the credits that normally aren’t in credits because they’re not in any dept that normally does work on the games.

[silent flower]

i wanna play now

[junior agate]

Who is ok with it?

[novel shale]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[silent flower]

https://tenor.com/view/marathon-bungie-dac-runner-gif-6011190738981059482

[novel shale]

We don’t snitch on sources

[junior agate]

I was just wondering who to reach out to? Idrk what we are talking about specifically

[novel shale]

Gotta keep it on the downlow Y’know

[nocturne abyss]

Bungie contact for 3rd party devs is all you need to know

If you know who that is, then good. If not then you didn’t need to know to begin with 😅

[nocturne abyss]

Extra weird when you consider the normal response to stuff they can’t answer right now is…

(This exact gif lol)

[lyric trail]

Okay I get that but like whats his or her name and title?

[novel shale]

It’s uh…… biggusbranicus123

[candid yacht]

kinda meh patchnotes

just some fixes

[novel shale]

Damn camo typing up a whole speech

[nocturne abyss]

I’m not sure what you’re expecting before mid-season patch

[teal plume]

yeah... that is what patchnotes are?

[nocturne abyss]

Eh. My hands just don’t work great and my phone slides in my hand a lot.

[novel shale]

Big stuff is usually in the TWAB (if that even exists for marathon)

[candid yacht]

oh I didnt know there was mid season patch next week

[nocturne abyss]

It’s mostly me typing and deleting jrjejrjrirorodppspwp over and over 😅

[novel shale]

Dayum

[feral parrot]

we have had zero TWIMs and it's very sad

[marsh zodiac]

i also just spam keys when thinking

[lyric trail]

My cat does that for me

[nocturne abyss]

They even renamed it to TWID to make room for TWIM 😭

[feral parrot]

where twim?

[nocturne abyss]

Everyone always asks where twim but never how twim 😭😭😭😭

Damn have some courtesy ppl

[livid cliff]

mida cat

[nocturne abyss]

Oh I am soooo ready for my new shell

[novel shale]

Ooooo trippy

[sullen nimbus]

Get pregnant

Now

[novel shale]

Damn thief got the Widows Silk

[bold iris]

Has anyone done the ARG yet?

[sullen nimbus]

No

[gilded shoal]

im in game rn, servers open for me (EU)

[novel shale]

Definitely not. We totally didn’t unlock Cryo last week, cuz why would we, that’d be preposterous

[sweet zenith]

I would love access to the codex this way.

[nocturne abyss]

They're probably not gonna repeat this after Destiny

They had to start manually obfuscating them due to leaks

(Lore entries unlocking in the API is not automatic)

[novel shale]

Ah yes the whole [UNKNOWN] exotics thing

[nocturne abyss]

Keep it secret. Keep it safe.

[novel shale]

Yep

[nocturne abyss]

It’s always fun when they forget to classify things they never finished and never removed from the game.

Pit of Heresy: Master is a personal favorite lol

[novel shale]

That doesn’t actually exist?

[nocturne abyss]

It does. It’s very super extra illegal to load into

[sick turret]

y'all got any more of them cryo archive

[nocturne abyss]

I have a video of the worlds first clear somewhere 🤣

[lyric trail]

Any new store skins today?

[nocturne abyss]

It’s just POH with champions. Nothing too special

[nocturne abyss]

Mid season update.

[lyric trail]

How am I supposed to whale out wtf

[nocturne abyss]

Mood.

[sonic creek]

Another week boys, and another TWAAAB!

[novel shale]

Already? Ain’t that usually a Thursday thing

[feral parrot]

there's no new news posts lmao

[neon wraith]

Where is it from?

[graceful hull]

Steam

[plush prism]

weird its not showing for me on steam

anyway a bit of a nothing update

[sullen nimbus]

You’re an everything update to me

[plush prism]

ty john marathon

john can you bless my runs for this evening

please john marathon i need a competent third random fill player who uses a mic

i beg

[rocky ledge]

Best we can do is a PvE dreamer. Sorry man

[sullen nimbus]

Have we heard anything about the CARRI event? It’s listed as before April on the roadmap

So gotta be this week right?

[plush prism]

john dont ignore me

[sullen nimbus]

Maybe

I might join you if you’re good

[plush prism]

i am not

but i will get better

[nocturne abyss]

Bungo asleep at the comm again
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3065800/view/535504182211249709?l=english

[sullen nimbus]

That’s ok

I believe in you

[plush prism]

ty john

[nocturne abyss]

Why wait? You can CARRI me rn 🥺

[tacit light]

what’s the DAC thing

[sullen nimbus]

People keep swinging their DACs around

[tacit light]

you know it 🤪

[gaunt wadi]

no shotgun fire rate nerf...

[rocky ledge]

Every week that goes by without Claymore drone getting patched the MIDA in me gets a little excited to continue drone warfare

[sullen nimbus]

I still have not seen the Misriah or whatever it’s called once

[nocturne abyss]

Why would they patch war crimes in the commit war crimes game?

[sullen nimbus]

They should let me kneecap assassin players in real life

[rocky ledge]

But then who would whiff their Wastr shots??

[novel shale]

No no not warcrimes, Creative use of materials, c’mon get it right

[frigid beacon]

There haven't even been any changes to the recone runner, meaning the drone is behaving normally, and the fact that the reconnaissance is worse than the thief is also normal, snipers that shoot like rifles and a shotgun that kills with a purple shield, keep it up

[zenith meadow]

If your triage is heterosexual then you aren’t maximizing your exfil potential

[tacit light]

i mean you can

[sullen nimbus]

I’m gonna be real w you chieftain, this might be a mad cause bad moment

[rocky ledge]

Recon is fine IMO, she’s harder to play but her abilities are strong

Finishing someone pings their whole team like damn man that’s busted

[zenith meadow]

She’s ass (I have 100s of hours on her from the game and playtests and have only used her)

[candid yacht]

first you gotta finish them broski

[rocky ledge]

Cmon man you can’t give me an alleyoop for saying Skill Issue like that

[candid yacht]

ult gives you away, drone has shit pathing and no movement ability to make up for that

[zenith meadow]

Trying to get finishes in Cryo challenge (impossible)

[sullen nimbus]

I’ll finish you

[tacit light]

mad cuz bad

[sullen nimbus]

The seeker does def need some work

[candid yacht]

genuinely Recon is the most underpowered shell rn

[opal bloom]

omg is John Marathon

[opal bloom]

let me drive the seeker

[rocky ledge]

I’m also a Destroyer/Triage player so I’m mostly just talking out my ass on recon

[sullen nimbus]

It sometimes just scuttles around for a bit choosing pacifism then blows itself to smithereens

[tacit light]

i got a bingus in my dire marsh run

[sullen nimbus]

That’s big for you

[opal bloom]

daaaaaaaaamn, blessed

[zenith meadow]

Speder bot is useless ult is useless in high level environments with saturated ads, ez prefire giveaway with the fat fucking green force field, is powercrept by thief with cores

[sullen nimbus]

Gimme a shell that has that sliding around tech that the shielded UESC have

I wanna be a lil ice skating pwincess

[rocky ledge]

Tracer comes to Tau Ceti IV

[frigid beacon]

The spider doesn't behave like a tick that runs in circles and explodes on you, her ability to mark Tim is useless in a single-player game, her echo pulse gives no clues, and the enemy only pings, and then it's up to the runner or the mob to decide how to better cope with the duties of recon.

[somber patrol]

They should make winton overwat the new shell

[sullen nimbus]

Yeah but she’s got a cool helmet

So it balances out

[spiral ore]

@arctic marsh my boy

i stink????

[sullen nimbus]

Yes

[spiral ore]

yo chin disappeared

[rocky ledge]

[rocky ledge]

Bro finna get a dm from a bungie employee with that one

[novel shale]

https://tenor.com/view/what-the-wtf-gif-25758871

[frigid beacon]

Balanced by what? That other runners are much better than Recon?🤔

[sullen nimbus]

The cool helmet

[zenith meadow]

Is this real???

[novel shale]

Seems like someone needs to be smited

[spiral ore]

yes

[sullen nimbus]

I muted them

[spiral ore]

thanks

[frigid beacon]

I would like a skin that would change the model like the thief.

[sullen nimbus]

You ever wonder if you should feel bad for people like that? Like his profile pic is them flexing a vault, and he’s posting this shit

[spiral ore]

no i lost that kit due to a bug

never got it back

[rocky ledge]

Hey man, he’s just glad he got purples for once

His vault is usually pretty grey

[sullen nimbus]

Lol

[novel shale]

Riiiiiight

[spiral ore]

daddy pls

[spark adder]

Only people I feel bad for are his parents

[novel shale]

Dayum Yake coming out swinging

[sullen nimbus]

He’s not wrong

[spiral ore]

this kid lost his chin $5000 REWARD

[rocky ledge]

Skin em, arachne

Damn

[real plume]

honestly don't really like recond

[spark adder]

Imagine that's the kid you get, must really suck

[real plume]

that being said i did buy the recon skin

[sullen nimbus]

I’m gonna buy your skin

[real plume]

closest thing to nameless uesc runner we may ever get 😪

[novel shale]

Rook in the corner:

[sullen nimbus]

Was just gonna say that’s basically rook

[real plume]

nope

[sullen nimbus]

Just saying nope to someone disagreeing actually goes crazy hard

I gotta try that

[pure prairie]

Imagine working for Orion 💀

[nocturne abyss]

That was Chris Barrett's Marathon. Removed sometime after Joe Z

[spark adder]

I think recons cool, apart from the spider that just refuses to do anything you require it to do and the prime that tells you there are 150 UESC bots in the area

[pure prairie]

That's like having the life goal of working in an Amazon Warehouse

[real plume]

yep

that's why i said it like that

[pure prairie]

💀

[sullen nimbus]

I like da classes 👉👈

[nocturne abyss]

NGL... I kinda wonder what "DUMALOGI" ended up becoming. Wonder if that could have been super early NuCal or something

[rocky ledge]

Could be an upcoming faction they axed before release

[sullen nimbus]

Bungie usually never lets shit like that completely die, I can totally see it coming back as a new faction in a season

[rocky ledge]

It looks how I would imagine Arachne to look tbh

[real plume]

sekgen and arachne were pretty late additions to the game so that's strange

[sullen nimbus]

“UwU sorry we’re late to Tau Ceti we stopped at Olive Garden”

[nocturne abyss]

Shirt is from 2023 before Joe replaced Chris

[real plume]

if anything it's probably proto arachne

[sullen nimbus]

Unlimited bread sticks we couldn’t pass it up

[rocky ledge]

The Marathon ship getting an Olive garden would get me on board

[spark adder]

I really love arachnes whole design, the cultist vibes it gives are perfect I can't really imagine them with another

[rocky ledge]

s’pht or no s’pht gimme those breadsticks bro

[real plume]

i like not being mad at ziegler anymore

[sullen nimbus]

Break bread w the s’pht, share a breadstick

[rocky ledge]

I just wish they had more than a single fucking quest lmao

[sullen nimbus]

Lady and the tramp some spaghetti

[real plume]

season 2

[rocky ledge]

They tell you to kill 10 people and then dip

[sullen nimbus]

W the compiler

[novel shale]

oh I’ll be sharing my breadstick with em

[spark adder]

Yeah you're not wrong 😂

[rocky ledge]

Me and the compiler fan art

❤️

[real plume]

to get the contraband boss loot you have to enter a complaint and get to corporate

gun is a breadstick

[sullen nimbus]

I do wonder how they’ll handle continuing the faction stories in upcoming seasons, I could see them just adding new quests that come after the ones we have, or replacing the ones we have with new ones w different/continuing plots

[novel shale]

Oh hey guess that random bloke got smited

Or not

[real plume]

lol

[rocky ledge]

He posted some bullshit

[novel shale]

Guess muted instead of Banished

[edgy elk]

hi

[real plume]

anyone have a relative idea of cryo key chances from pinnacle room? if anyone cares

[sullen nimbus]

I think it’s a far better punishment to just have to look at people shit on you without being able to talk back, than getting straight banned

[sullen nimbus]

Hey sexy

[edgy elk]

are we done with biostock yet

[sullen nimbus]

We’re on preservation

[edgy elk]

i had a ranodom in my crew named john marathon but he ragequit and we won the fights

[restive patrol]

there's an arg going on in dire marsh iykyk

i'll put up a clip later

[edgy elk]

yeah rectangle arg

[high sparrow]

can someone share the info on dire marsh arg

[edgy elk]

rectangle at west gate

[delicate talon]

Ive gotten one every time I've opened the one in central pinwheel

[real plume]

only time i have there wasn’t

[lyric trail]

Samr

[edgy elk]

yo they added tung tung tung sahur at outpost in this update wtf!!!!!!

[novel shale]

I’m sorry what

[delicate talon]

Arachne, skin this guy

[edgy elk]

we got tung tung tung sahur in marathon

[novel shale]

Who?

[edgy elk]

tung tung tung sahur

[lyric trail]

Literally the only thing I have ever heard about destiny are those old peter dinklage voice lines and my blizzard-enslaved friends were able to buy destiny 2 with wow gold and then didnt play it

[novel shale]

Damn you barely heard Jack about it

Dinklebot was early early D1

[edgy elk]

early d2 too

[abstract totem]

Lol, I have the old ghost vinyl, i call it the dinklage

[lyric trail]

Yeah those were epic

[novel shale]

Dinklebot is in D2?

When’d he show

[edgy elk]

not anymore

[abstract totem]

nahhh, i brought it out of storage to hang on my desk while I play marathon

damn i could get that exclusive d2 shader tho

er, emblem lol

[wheat vault]

I hope we get good Marathon merch, not just some lame hoodies

A vinyl triage drone?

[abstract totem]

I honestly don't think it was exclusive to the ghost vinyl, I already had it in game when I got the thing lol

[edgy elk]

im gonna eat poop for dinner tonight im so excited

[lyric trail]

I need them to restock the weaveworm plushie 😭

[abstract totem]

that'd be cool. but yes, the weaveworm plush would be sick

[novel shale]

I’m sorry what the flying fuck

[edgy elk]

@candid yacht hi

[candid yacht]

Hello

[edgy elk]

?

[novel shale]

Didja misspell soup?

[edgy elk]

no

[real plume]

biotoxic disinjector

[real plume]

i would buy a volt thrower model

[abstract totem]

That'd be cool too. I saw on the subreddit that someone had 3d printed a magnum

[real plume]

one thing i like about marathon is that the characters inspect the guns as though they are actually holding a large object

instead of csgo where they just hold the gun out

[abstract totem]

gimmie a plush of the moth chomping the wire tho

[wheat vault]

Drinkable Cheeseburger anything

[abstract totem]

trueeee

[vernal crest]

they're back to being offline

[novel shale]

Prolly cuz we cleared the ARG

[sullen nimbus]

I’m Slurpin it

Hi! Please ping a Ninja with these issue. You can also use a boot reaction emoji to report any issues as well.

im pretty sure the anomaly is a living thing

[edgy elk]

its just a wrkncacntr fart

[minor gyro]

interestingly it is not solid but a wall of extreme force

do you think we may enter it at some point?

i hope we get timescar shit like destiny did on mars

[polar jewel]

quest in the future would be my guess

[minor gyro]

can you imagine stealing shit out of like secret facilities during colony operations time

[minor gyro]

yess i hope so i want to see the extruded plastic aesthetic get iridescent and fluid and sparkly

i hope they go the Annihilation / Death Stranding route with cosmic horror

[odd heron]

Must've been the wind...

[sullen nimbus]

SNIFFFF

I mean…

Redpill me on the diremarsh rectangle arg

you've got to be fucking with me

i didnt even notice till exfil

why

why can it do that

[queen raven]

Give

[tame root]

cant

[lyric trail]

Whats the big deal I have like 3 materialist+ things

[tame root]

its materialist +

yeah from dire marsh

i knew outpost could gen them

[lyric trail]

Idk but I pretty much only run dire marsh because im a turbo shitter who cant pvp

[tame root]

but dire from a blue enemy

not on my bingo card

im far too scared to bring this out to raise its value

[lyric trail]

Somehow dire marsh is the most chill map

[tame root]

dire is chill if you know how to play it

stick to the corners and get the high ground

[lyric trail]

Perimeter is full purple and gold snipe squads and people treat outpost like a battle royale

[tame root]

perimeter is apex legends till 1 team is alive

[acoustic shard]

• if you're not doing missions lol

[tame root]

then they go play arc raiders in pinwheel

wrong map

i mean outpost

perimeter is a cod lobby

cryo is weirdly all three?

[lyric trail]

Tried learning outpost last night and spend 20k or so credits on blue gear getting squadfilled with free kit shitters who pick fights from low ground and get third partied over 8 times or so

Literally 1 green shield match the whole night

[sand grail]

bruh im playing solos and have 4 people converge on every location I go to , like immediately lol

[tame root]

shot gun and a shield

[lyric trail]

Right

[tame root]

look up a map of the card spawns

[lyric trail]

I know the card spawns

[tame root]

you want 2 of each color for a good mental note

[lyric trail]

Ive done lots of rook

Just no team outpost

[nocturne abyss]

bungie said no

[tame root]

the rest is just, get the high ground

if you dont have the money for a shotgun

melee

[lyric trail]

I have lots of money

The cyac vip perk is infinite free money

[tame root]

ye

but outpost is decided at the start, move like a hound outta hell

[acoustic shard]

I pretty much only go to outpost when Im looking for a big come up. 🤷‍♂️ I'll go in with a free kit, loot up to find a better gun or shield, then get in a couple team fights, take all their meds, backpack, ammo, atc. then just extract.

[lyric trail]

Remove free kits now

Im running on this platform

[acoustic shard]

https://klipy.com/gifs/bugs-bunny-bunny-1

[nocturne abyss]

The correct strat is to auto dismantle grey/green. blue+ goes in vault then free kit in every map but cryo

[lyric trail]

:(

[acoustic shard]

Free Kit players are either John Wick or one of the Three Stooges

It varies for me match to match which I am lol

[tame root]

depending on the free kit im either john wick or one of the three stooges

[lyric trail]

Money grows on the ground

Just buy a green shield please people

[acoustic shard]

I kit up if Im playing with a stack, but the only time I put a real loadout on in fills is if I need to free up vault space

[lyric trail]

I think my problem with it more than anything is just that it encourages people to play like they have nothing to lose which makes squad fill really hard to be consistent at since 2/3 of my party decided to roll on a gamble

[tame root]

even if im on a 10k kit i play like i have nothing to lose

ill lose that 10k if i want and go to the next 10k

[lyric trail]

I gaurantee you are not running straight line into gunfire from low ground with your 10k kit

[tame root]

depends, do they have snipers and i dont

[lyric trail]

You dont know that

[tame root]

most free kits are mid range weapons

meaning if you want to win with them you gotta get to mid range

[lyric trail]

You heard gunfire and decided to make a beeline sprint with no plan

Thats what im talking about

[acoustic shard]

Ngl, think this comes down more to randoms than the free kits. Sometimes with a stack, if we have 3-4 bad matches in a row, we'll pop on free kits and start building our vaults back up that way.

Its just a hard genre (extractions) to matchmake with, because you either have everything riding on getting out alive, or nothing.

And thats not me saying your interpretations wrong or anything like that, just think the whole issue is more nuanced then free kits

[lyric trail]

Yeah wish I had a team that I could improve with but all my friends with this game work crazy hours or live on the other side of planet

I think free kits exacerbates the issues of squad fill though, I know its a multifaceted issue

[acoustic shard]

I have one friend that plays this game that I knew before the game launched. The two teams I mainly play with were people I met during the server slam funnily enough. Im usually antisocial af when it comes to gaming, never have a headset in, etc. BUT, decided to give it a shot with this game, and have met some pretty awesome people so far.

[sullen nimbus]

I only have 1 other friend who plays consistently so we go into trios as 2 and try our best

[acoustic shard]

My one friend plays 2-3 matches, then ragequits and is still level 11 lol

[tired basin]

🐐

[lyric trail]

I had nothing but amazing squad fill experiences in cryo last weekend and I attribute it to people bringing real gear and thus more tendancy to play smart

[sullen nimbus]

I’m just not a rage person, idk I try and win but like

If I lose shit iz all good

I’ll get it back eventually

[acoustic shard]

Yeah, Cryo and Ranked I think will probably have the best MM, because of the gear antes

[acoustic shard]

Yeah, exactly

[lyric trail]

Wish ranked was all week

[uneven forum]

i think if people are filling into a map as a freekit match them up with others doing the same, less disappointment when you bring a kit and see 2 grey shields

[tired basin]

when I lose I tell my group im going to kill myself and then I requeue right away

[sullen nimbus]

Pog

[acoustic shard]

It is weird to me being weekends only, I never got into Trials in D2, and the games Ive played in the past have always had Ranked enabled 24/7 lol

[ancient steeple]

itll be all week next season

theyre just testing it right now

[acoustic shard]

"All week" like... Iron Banner? And we get it every other week or whatever that schedule was?

[tame root]

freekit only map

freekit only cryo event

[lyric trail]

Make perimeter have a gear limit so you can only freekit in idc

[quiet tundra]

Super hell

[acoustic shard]

Ooo I actually like thhis idea for perimeter.

Make it so your loadout can't be more than like 4k or something like that.

[uneven forum]

i wouldn't go that far, i just think there should be a system in place to stop people getting fucked over because they want to solo queue

i had a game on cryo Sunday a guy came in with a common shield and shit out about 6 holo tags on spawn just to meet the quota

[acoustic shard]

lmao. Yeah, I had one match with a friend and one random, and my friend loaded in with a green shield and I was like "Buddy, you are in for a bad time" lol

[tame root]

see thats kinda what worries me about the ranked

its not skill based in its entirety

someone with more playtime will have a better kit

[lyric trail]

Why at that point? Isnt it about equivalent cost to a real set?

[vivid panther]

the correct mentality. it’s never your loot, just your turn with it.

[uneven forum]

he had no mic and disconnected as soon as he died too

[lyric trail]

Okay now thats epic

[jolly goblet]

Why does this worry you

[lyric trail]

I had to explain to my friend who I played with that he didnt need to bring a kitted out ares r00 to cheat the loot threshold because a wtsr/shield/backpack almost clears it already

He wanted to just bring the ares to avoid gear fear lmao

[vivid panther]

yeah it’s not too hard to scrounge up a 5k loadout for cryo.

[jolly goblet]

I think it would be good if there was a separate calc for value pre and post match for some items, like all guns going in have about the same virtual value and attachments are worth more then, and stuff like holo tags would be zero value going in etc

[candid yacht]

railguns are auto sell now anyway

hope we wont see green shield mfs on cryo when the holotag cheesing gets fixed

got a teammate like that and ofc we lost

[vivid panther]

I do not know their use case. i feel like they have to be good for something lol.

[lyric trail]

When I get one on rook I usually go for a cheeky exfil snipe

And then sell it if I make it out

[candid yacht]

idk they are awkward to use

maybe with gold mods they are nice

[vivid panther]

VERY. especially the volt one where it just shoots after you charge it up.

the ares at least you can hold the charge indefinitely.

[candid yacht]

they are trying to be I guess sidegrades to snipers

but they have like 55m range

and charge up

I just dont get the use

[odd python]

theyre very very strong but the longshot is easier to use so the railguns just kinda exist

i also insta sell them

[terse prairie]

I auot sell them too

[odd python]

i also insta sell the misriah, thing is too expensive to keep

[candid yacht]

yeah I mean they break shields one shot but the follow up is ahh

[vivid panther]

I’m going to assume that they’ve got plans for them to be useful with potential raid bosses in the future?

[sullen nimbus]

I call people who take purples onto perimeter Perimeter Pedophiles

[vivid panther]

idk man I’d keep at least one. guns great.

[odd python]

TRUE

if you bring purple shields into perimeter your ass is in the files

[sullen nimbus]

This

[acoustic shard]

Like that dude that used Compiler gun to kill a guy, then dropped it on the ground so he could see it while he bled out? Fuck that dude lol

....because its a ranked mode?

[cursive mulch]

i dont need a good kit im simply better

[vivid panther]

are you talking about fills with ranked? that’s just sub optimal anyways.

[tame root]

ranked is a way to determine skill

[sullen nimbus]

Im saying, if you’re bringing purples onto the new player map, you are a predator

[vivid panther]

no shot I’d play ranked without a premade regardless of matchmaking.

[tame root]

you shouldnt have an advantage because you played more of the game

[acoustic shard]

There are "Low Stakes" and "High Stakes" for ranked. Low Stakes is 3k, High Stakes is 10k

[cursive mulch]

i mean

it is an exfil

[sullen nimbus]

Personally I’d run it w 6-7k myself

[vivid panther]

I mean the game straight up rewards people who put time into the game with faction upgrades.

hard disagree.

[acoustic shard]

I can read, thanks. Was giving an example of someone doing something like that.

Someone took the red gun into perimeter from Cryo, killed someone with it, then dropped it on the ground for the dude to look at while he was bleeding out.

[sullen nimbus]

This game is just not counter strike nor is it designed to be, it’s all about making the best with what you got and making choices on when you can fight

[sullen nimbus]

Oh I know I meant like, that’s what I’m saying, I was agreeing

[candid yacht]

I mean its reading like bro never played an extraction shooter

[acoustic shard]

ohhh gotcha gotcha lol

[tame root]

yeah im just gonna not bother talking to you guys

[odd python]

your gear definitely plays a role but positioning will always determine the outcome more ime

[sullen nimbus]

Part of the skill of an extraction shooter is “can I reasonably win this or should I try and bail”

[acoustic shard]

Having played enough, but never really getting into Tarkov, that game is single handedly responsible for me not giving af about losing gear in any extraction anymore lol

[proper plinth]

just killed a purple in perimeter with a free kit cause i had far better positioning

[lyric trail]

Congrats, how many spins on the free kit slot machine was that?

[hidden pollen]

When you inspect any of these theres weird sounds playing?

[candid yacht]

cryo aint ready, its gonna rain nades

[sullen nimbus]

Thanks man

[vivid panther]

idk I think it’s just a silly point that players shouldn’t have an advantage from “playing more”.

in literally every shooter they all reward people who play more, it just may not be a physical in game reward. game sense, map knowledge, etc.

[visual sluice]

thats dastardly LOL

[nocturne abyss]

not my review. from a bungie dev lol

[sullen nimbus]

Chem naids make me cry

[candid yacht]

i won a 1v3 just by using 2 frags

[odd python]

i love chem nades

[visual sluice]

LMAO

[acoustic shard]

Demolition Shell wen

[nocturne abyss]

I had to pay my own money to get stomped on liek this 😭

[vivid panther]

frags have a pretty crazy blast radius.

[hidden pollen]

Theres ARG noises coming from the subroutines when you inspect them friends

Someone get on it

[odd python]

sorry i ate all the subroutines

[midnight pier]

is the rumor of dire marsh anomaly growing bigger with each patch true

[vivid panther]

I don’t think so. I’ve not noticed any difference.

[lyric trail]

I was told killing compiler was supposed to unleash the phor on every map, get on it argheads

[nocturne abyss]

no but the rumor of my vault shrinking every patch is true

[odd python]

badlandschugs comes in to eat the anomaly, saving us all

[hidden pollen]

you can inspect them in the codex

[vivid panther]

just recently got my last vault storage upgrade and it still isn’t enough.

[acoustic shard]

I havent seen the actual area spread, but I have started seeing the anomaly EMP things popping up in places I havent before.

[lyric trail]

I have none of them I cant do it

<- 1 marathon key in 100 hours

[candid yacht]

oof

[vivid panther]

ive had a harder time coming across keys lately. swear they’ve nerfed the pinwheel wings.

those strong boxes do NOT give the same quality gear anymore.

[acoustic shard]

fwiw, I've personally never seen a cryo key drop from a chest in pinwheel. I've only ever seen them myself from Bosses or Lockdowns. I know they can drop other ways, Ive just never seen it lol

[normal flame]

anyone notice that the terminals have gone offline?

[vivid panther]

I only ever got them from the pinnacle room. and that room does still have good loot, but the boxes on the other wings just don’t hit hardly at all anymore.

[lyric trail]

The one ive gotten was from the pinnacle strongbox

Ive seen two more, one from perimeter warden and another from the pinnacle box but I died both times before I could exfil

[ripe matrix]

I’ve only ever gotten one from the pinnacle strongbox or looting them off corpses

the other wings do have some good stuff still though. last run I did had some purple salvage in the destroyed wing

I check em quickly at least while making my way to open up command wing

[eager nimbus]

Hello I'm looking for pregnant men is it here?

[odd python]

man i love this game but it’s gonna die so fast if they dont do something about the meta of kitted teams wiping the lobby right off the bat

[tame root]

?

[edgy elk]

there really should be a safepocket or insurance system or smn

[turbid venture]

Kill them and take the stuff

[tame root]

nah safepockets are lame

[novel shale]

Prison pocket type shit

[edgy elk]

yea

[odd python]

[minor gyro]

are packs with modifiers very rare?

[edgy elk]

id really like a 2x1 safepocket

[novel shale]

How slightly faster we talking

[tame root]

no im baffled it generated on a bloody green

[minor gyro]

can you imagine getting a lemon pack and it has enduring or some shit

[vivid panther]

only thing I’d like to see them add are additional storage crates for your vault lol

[minor gyro]

sponsorkits should stack imho

[vivid panther]

a weapon box/salvage box would save a lot of space

[sand grail]

https://klipy.com/gifs/pernalonga-meme-pernalonga-no

[edgy elk]

🤷

[tame root]

a safepocket goes against everything the gameplay and lore is telling you

[minor gyro]

its not yours til you exfil

[vivid panther]

ESPECIALLY a salvage box. purple/blue salvage really takes up a lot of space over time.

[novel shale]

With enough BS anything is possible

[minor gyro]

yeah blue salvage is really clogging up my vault

[tame root]

thats not the point

[paper hemlock]

this is why I am in arachne

[tame root]

you are expected to go in, die and lose everything and go again

[vivid panther]

mine too. I spent yesterday just trying to get caught up on some upgrades and it’s still not enough lol

[sand grail]

bruh I already get jack shit for half my kills, you wanna take away those extra couple resources the person i killed had?

[edgy elk]

yea i get and repsect that part, but bringing in rare keys and such feels a bit too risky rn

[tame root]

as it should

[minor gyro]

tbf dont they pop if someone downs you

or is that only templates

[tame root]

only the dbno ones

[minor gyro]

weh

[vivid panther]

I lost a purple key on perimeter last night because I got unlucky with a 3rd party. is what it is.

get mad at it for a second and then get over it.

[edgy elk]

yea templates wouldnt work with a safepocket

[minor gyro]

its just stuff yeah

[vivid panther]

you can eventually just make daily keys anyways.

[odd python]

risk is great and all but it gets exhausting not making any progress for awhile

[edgy elk]

would suck if people ran around with all their meds in a safepocket too

[minor gyro]

i would lmfao

youre not getting my panaceas

[edgy elk]

i did that in tarkov, but id hate it in a game with marathons revive system

[vivid panther]

which makes the eventual progress that much more rewarding. no?

[acoustic shard]

In Tarkov, can't put meds, guns, and I think 1-2 other things in your safe pocket.

[odd python]

not really no

[acoustic shard]

iirc

[edgy elk]

im pretty sure meds can go in it

[minor gyro]

tarkov will never be marathon she is younger and far more beautiful than her

[acoustic shard]

oo gotcha, I do know it's restricted in some ways though.

[novel shale]

Ehhhhhhhhh
