Only purple weapon BP in the lootpool is the Bettina
the cracker is a quest reward
last mica
the cracker is a quest reward
Which is not in the lootpool 🤓
I'm wondering if the missing blueprints is intentional or not with the dripfeed content thats coming over the next two months
tepid linden
It'd be nice if we had some way to know 
bleak forge
I think they withheld some of the bp's since it would get overwhelming for newer players coming in and getting mowed down by people that oculd mass craft a lot of the better weapons.
That being said I can craft pretty much all blue weapons and their components. Just need rare medium magazine and Venator is my fav lol.
I think the reason Bettina was added to the loot pool was it was the most recently added and it allows more people to do more testing while the rest of the weapons got a decent amount of data from the betas.
tepid linden
My desire for BPs is directly proportional to my desire to get up and going after eating shit with a loadout
probably going to do some free runs today because my fragile psyche cant take more losses rn

I'm doing the expedition stuff so I would lose it all anyway. I have a bundle of wolf packs and I've never used one 
last mica
Wolf packs are super cheap to make once you find the BP
Never enter a raid without one
Also your best bet and getting good blueprints is max reward trials
it gives you one item per rank (uncommon/rare/epic) and it includes the entire loot pool
the two epic rewards I got this week were Tier 3 Light Mag and Extended Barrel blueprints

Huh interesting. As far as the matchmaking is concerned I would be shocked if they have that much of a discrepancy between solo/2's/3's with the concurrent player counts but color me surprised if they are implementing it for faster matchmaking.
last mica

it always takes a bit to matchmake, so I guess it's pooling up everyone to sort into solo/squads. Might take a bit longer now to but they say duos in squads is still gonna happen

I've seen a lot of glazing for Embark but this is just embarassing behaviour frankly
Breaking CCU records almost every day and still refusing to implement proper Duo lobbies, why? "Teehee you might run into duo only lobbies... or not! lmao"

I think not having proper separate lobbies is more fun. The mindset going into a match knowing everyone is a solo would be boring imo and way different than going in as a solo knowing there could be teams of 2 or 3 around

I prefer the way it is, not every one is a hardcore gamer. Nothing wrong with having the less active people be able to have fun too without as much risk if they solo 
last mica
Can you elaborate on this? I dont understand and would like to.
The only graceful argument the devs could give for not having duo lobbies is that they didn't expect to have this high a playercount, but even after seeing the playtest/server slam numbers they should have had a queue for all team sizes to begin with. Embark is alienating their duo playerbase for no reason whatsoever, and them now coming out and saying "Hey we hear your concern, thats why we added a gacha mechanic so you have a chance of being in a duo lobby" while seemingly being celebrated for it is just ???
Another game in the extraction genre, Dark and Darker, has 5k CCU players during a wipe at best, and even they have the same amount of maps to queue into (including their own version of night raid)
Add to that the usual Nexon scummy practices of microtransactions in a fully priced game, which were so overpriced already that they're being celebrated for lowering it slightly, the continued Embark stain of not hiring VA's and instead plastering both their games with emotionless AI voice acting, and cutting out content from the main game to steadily release over months instead so they can farm engagement, idk fam but seeing everyone glaze Embark like this is throwing up questionmarks over my head.
I assume you're not wondering about my annoyance of there still not being proper duo lobbies, because "I'm fine with two people being thrown into unwinnable scenarios" is certainly a take to have, its not even fun on the trio side because you can just simply run them down with a simple body count advantage, not exactly engaging gameplay for anyone involved. I'm explicitly calling Embark "embarassing", not the people who are enjoying the game, it just goes to show how low the bar for developers is these days that they will be celebrated for doing less than the minimum.
Also still no hotfix for Venator or Blaze Grenade exploits
stoic dew
But all the queues are a gacha
That's how trio and solo work as well
Also, that's a lot of opinions.
Thanks for expanding, though. I now understand your position.
I just like playing

I'm still out here playing too, its a matter of wanting the game to better than it is and fix some of its more glaring issues

I used both legendary weapons and I regret to inform you that they are garbage, the Jupiter is worse than a Ferro and the Equalizer a worse Torrente

How are they worse?
visual shadow
You don't need science to know the Ferro is a cracked gun the first time you get hit by one 
last mica
it has the same range as ferro, but with 2s delay before the shot comes out, and the bolt action of the jupiter makes it shoot as fast as you would reload the next shot on a ferro
and for some reason it has 5 less damage too
Equalizer also has the same delay penalty and less damage than the torrente

Its the worst map for sure, it excarbates all the problem the game currently has
Smallest map, all corridors, people spawning in plain view

they didn't get to play more than 5 seconds

bleak forge
Not a bad night of progress lol
glossy sundial
Not a bad night of progress lol
Is it worth doing this tho
I thought it wasnt as worth
visual shadow
60 days to fill out the 5 stages. Stage 6 is pressing Ok Prestige me button which last a week to press it I think. (Stage 6 is currently closed)
Even if you dont finish I think you keep all the progress until it starts up again
glossy sundial
Are there like advantages to completing it tho
also Mythril if you still got that silencer blueprint lmk
Also do you guys have suggestions on like farming blueprints in general?
visual shadow
theres a little menu thing in Projects that shows you what you lose and what you keep, but it basically a reset. As far as what you get for it, I think its extra skill point and stuff im not 100% sure.
glossy sundial
Oh so it really is just kinda the wipe thing lol
bleak forge
Oh shit there were like 3 people asking for it I ended up giving it away.
and yes there are advantages to an extent. Bonus xp rate, bonus skill points, better scrappy and permanant skill points that stack each time you reset.
visual shadow
if you are decent at solo or coop you can get back a lot of stuff pretty quick so I dont see a downside tbh. Im way past the point of losing all my guns and gear when I go for fights
bleak forge
That being said I haven't seen ammounts to anything aside from an extra stash tab.
visual shadow
plus if people have extra BP you can get them for free if you ask
bleak forge
Yeah, pretty much once you get back to being able to at least use t1 augments for a safe pocket bp's just stack up over time+ completing the trials each week also give you a decent chance at them.
glossy sundial
BP?
bleak forge
Im just hoping the fix some of the bugged skills and add in more transperant tooltips for ranks of them.

glossy sundial
Oh sorry i was confused for a sec 
bleak forge
Honestly I am looking forward to how different the reset will be with what I know now.
glossy sundial
if yall down to play me and seal are playing rn
bleak forge
I would if iw asnt about to go to sleep lol
Though to be fair as for reseting I almost wish you could keep bp's you have already collected
and then adding new ones each season since how abyssmal some bp's seem to be to get
visual shadow
there's nothing pushing you towards doing it now, we'll all know later on how worth it may be to do it. Even if you skip this one you wont really be behind on anything
bleak forge
Yeah for the most part expeditions just will be convenience over time. You will however have to grind stuff out again which may be too much for some.
last mica
I will be hitting the wipe option the moment it drops, I'm not attached to my stash and its even easier to get back to where I was knowing the droptables for containers and the like
No reason to pass up on max level cap and stash increase
bleak forge
Yeah, thats my thoughts. PLus over time if nothing else more passive income from scrappy and more skill points
bleak forge
If anyone needs
Hmm actually that begs the question. I wonder if people are stockpiling BP's to trade to non-prestige players to trade back so they could pre-farm recipes. Though they may put somethign in place to stop that.
last mica
Hmm actually that begs the question. I wonder if people are stockpiling BP's to ...
My friend did come up with that recently and we are stockpiling BPs since then
I don't think Embark will have this on their radar until after the first wipe
bleak forge
: / like legit if i can stockpile med wep parts/venator/anvil that would be huge going into the wipe...
I almost wonder if they would just seperate wipe/non players to prevent this
Or a t3 loot bp...
and a 2nd one lol
glossy sundial
That actually sounds pretty smart lol
as long as you have someone pack muling the bps i suppose
Do they stack if you get multiple?
last mica
no
bleak forge
Yeah I don't think they would want you to hoard them but at the same time im surprised they are tradeable. Though i guess they wanted to keep in in tact if you loot someone that didnt have it in their safe pocket its fair game.
glossy sundial
Yeah
Im like wondering when will my quests ever end. I think its about to then 2 more shows up lol
bleak forge
Think there were 36 before stella maris released
glossy sundial
36????? it sure doesnt feel like it lmao
last mica
That raider is going to have so much reading material (20 Bettina Blueprints)
bleak forge
Lol, mine is going to be tweaking with how many coffee machines I packed for the provision portion lol.
Between that and pillows that pod would raise some questions if anyone saw what I packed lol
Actually if i could just go into the wipe with anvil+heavy weapon component bp's I feel that would be enough to claw my way back to farming consistently
That revolver is such a workhorse once you get some upgrades into it.
glossy sundial
So when you reset, what's your max level?
glossy sundial
oh
bleak forge
You just start with the bonus skill points
glossy sundial
Ah
last mica
oh really
glossy sundial
does it do anything else? like storage cap?
last mica
yes
glossy sundial
How much more is the cap? yall know?
last mica
there is a help button somewhere on the expedition that tells you what it does
bleak forge
Yeah you get a free storage upgrade that goes over cap, the xp bonus, 5 skill points, and more resources from scrappy
wait
This makes it sound like skill points will be based on whats in your stash
unless its based on what you contributed
last mica
Perhaps my 50+ purple weapons will stay unscrapped
glossy sundial
Someone said you get +20 stash on first departure
bleak forge
Yeah it should be as if you got a stash upgrade for free so that tracks.
bleak forge
no the upgrade is outside what you could normally get
glossy sundial
ok
bleak forge
so it would be an extra starting 20 that fully upgraded would be 300
glossy sundial
So rather than 75 points in skill, its 80, then rather than 280 storage, its 300.
But you gotta redo every quests again
bleak forge
Yeah but im now curious with how the skill points section is worded. You may need to have a threshold of value in your stash apon wipe to get the full 5 points
glossy sundial
Yeah it sounds like you need to have as high % value to get that +5 skill points.
last mica
But you gotta redo every quests again
yeah but the quests don't do anything other than fill your stash with garbage
Hullcracker BP I guess and the odd free key but otherwise, they dispense light sticks
glossy sundial
Lmao i just sold those cause its insta garbo
Im just trying to weigh in if I want to continue to reset or not now
Since +20 stash and +5 stats is very enticing.
bleak forge
Yeah thats the boat im in. having a bit more freedom with the skill build would be huge imo though i hope they revert at least some of the sec breach nerf since that shit has gotten depressing.
bleak forge
Like I have been keeping a spreadsheet of all my sec breaches for notable loot.
It still is worth it but holy shit did they gut it.
last mica
my friend got it day 2/3 and he printed purple weapons before anyone else got it
every container stayed untouched and we hit like 3-4 every game
usually at least 3 purple items
bleak forge
Yeah but it went from like a 50/50 purple weapon and like a 25% bp chance to you may get a rare/epic wep once avery 10
bleak forge
Is it still worht it? yes because I still get plenty of gun parts and since i have several bps already it makes making renegades/venators efficient.
glossy sundial
Since the buff is there?
last mica
lmao, last time we played my friend went like "Hey, wanna grab a stitcher?" pings container
10 seconds later
AI Voice: Stitcher here
glossy sundial
lmao
bleak forge
the buff allows more loot and raises the chances but sec lockers used to close4 even without night raids
last mica
its still fine, it drops blue weapons often enough
and Venator is so far ahead of every other weapon right now anyway
bleak forge
Like i said i still get a decent amount of green/blue weapons which i can scrap
glossy sundial
I wanna be able to get to that point where i can just farm those. lol i still need like 4 points since i aimed for yellow tree first
bleak forge
Like its rare I don't at least get a common weapon but it went from a near guarenteed blue/epic wepaon and 2+ parts to green guarenteed and blue like 50% of the time
But it no longer prints epic weapons
which tbf my fav combo is venator/renegade anyways
Like Im not a fan of shotguns so volcanos are just marginally better than il toros, Bobcats are just better stitchers that take a lot more to upgrade and maintain. And tempest/bettinas I feel are just worse more expensive renegades
glossy sundial
Bettinas are a bit of a disappointment. too expensive to maintain
glossy sundial
That looks painful
ooo trials reset in 8 minutes
I guess i can wait until this shows up lmao
bleak forge
I mean they allow more mod slots than a renegade so they can outperform but they made the durability loss on them like triple a normal weapon so they break so quickly on top of what takes to make it decent you could just upgrade a renegade for 1/4 the price
glossy sundial
I still have yet to bring one to the field for funsies
But right now I kinda just bring a lvl 1 hullcracker and just shoot things in the sky for fun
last mica
I did once, my conclusion was I'd rather bring a Rattler
bleak forge
I have looted a few and used them in match from my breach runs but they just felt like a semi auto arpeggio
glossy sundial
blazing and I were running it and he brought a betinna and told me after the match to just scrap it
bleak forge
I just feel if your not upgradeing a rattler+ mods it gets outperformed but other wepaons
plus for some reason upgrades 3+4 are more expensive than fucking common tier weapons
last mica
100% fully upgrade Rattler before ever using it, its +4 bullets per
bleak forge
yeah like base rattler cant down a raider without headshots
last mica
Think the only weapon that really gets away with staying level 1 is tempest, but the tempest is kinda ass too
bleak forge
yeah which would be nice if the bp was available
sine then it would give me a use to keep complex parts
glossy sundial
ive yet to see one lol
last mica
they no longer get printed
glossy sundial
wait actually i do have one. i just never used it 
last mica
but now their BP has magically appeared in the lootpool
bleak forge
oh did they unlock bp's for epic weapons other than the Bettina?
last mica
tempest has been found since the last 48 hours
bleak forge
okay so stella maris patch did release them. Good to know
glossy sundial
oh nice
lol
Maybe ill run into one
They havent said anything about what else theyll be doing with creds right?
bleak forge
Those dont reset but you can still accrue them through decks
last mica
was hoping the final page would be a repeatable redeem like in marvel rivals
now they're just piling up
bleak forge
So technically if you wanted to you could just prefarm the next seasons deck
glossy sundial
HARVESTING PLANTS. Lmao people gonna be fighting in blue map
bleak forge
Actually with my bp's I could literally just free kit and scrappy mats tro make blue weapons to fill my stash at the reset so i think im okay
glossy sundial
Let us know how it goes post reset
bleak forge
I hope they at least tell you the amount you get before commiting since its a week window
I mean I am comfortable with just running a stitcher+anvil or stitcher+ferro for a more budget loadout
But solo's I generally am friendly unless jumped
bleak forge
I will say this in terms of sec breach. I will still go it next season and i think the competition for the lockers will be substantially less. From other peoples spreadsheets on it post nerf you do get more loot in them for night/storm raids but the quality doesn't increase so you just get more parts then single stacks so the skill is only marginally better on those conditions.
once you get at least med/heavy wep parts bp's though it still shines and you just craft what you want.
glossy sundial
have yall fought the matriarch yet?
glossy sundial
Nice
bleak forge
I swear there is a luck bonus when running free kits

We took it down last night and it was crazy
We also snuck in the harvester and got some pree nice BPs
bleak forge
I think next season im going to try a lot more 2's/3's
bleak forge
I mean tbf venator is just marginally better than a stacked stitcher if you compare them side by side. Venator just stands out more as an all arounder since it slaughters arcs as well as a good pvp weapon. I'm more of the opinion that they should ask why it became the favored weapon over some barely seeing use.,
Like I am almost to the point that sec breach getting nerfed is giving more blue weapons now that epics are much less likely and most epic weapons I feel are undertuned or have glaring drawbacks compared to rare and evencommons.
And legendary weapons are mostly mediocre vs players and only shine vs arc where you have both set-up and know their AI/attack patterns which again can just be overcome with explosives or much more available gear.
last mica
I just hope they nerf the venator
Sorry, Embark is on vacation please understand, they can't open a textfile and adjust some numbers
I honestly believe they adjusted this weapon completely forgetting that it shoots two bullets somehow
bleak forge
I mean tbf its not as broken as people who found how to animation cancel the Il toro to double shoot.
tranquil gull
You can do that with multiple guns btw not just the Il Toro
it's possible with the Anvil as well

not to mention massive magazine size
tranquil gull
Exactly what I was thinking 
bleak forge
Im still of the opionion they need to buff other weapons to make more viable then nerfing what people use into the ground.
vital coral
eh I wouldnt mind the ttk being raised overall, so I'm a fan of nerfing op guns rather than buffing crappy ones
visual shadow
yea, getting blasted while im trying to pick up duct tape kinda sucks. Sometimes the shields feel like paper
last mica
You shouldn't be able to be 4-tapped by a pistol with the best stats of any weapon in the game, and I agree the TTK could use lowering. The nature of 3rd person giving a massive advantage to whoever just sits behind cover not making a move is boring so it would be nice to have more counterplay in that regard. Perhaps make shields more useful instead of being a papersheet attached to your chest
tranquil gull
Shield are useful, but only really by virtue of the damage reduction they give
bleak forge
I'd be down for shields being more meaningful or at least have skills that would affect more then the ms penalty.
Like even if they doubled the shield amount im trying to think how much that would effect gameplay. Like it would give decent response in solos but may be too much for 2's/3's
Maybe have the shield reduce damage it takes by the same ammount as well so they wouldnt have to change ammounts.
bleak forge
The latter may be too much for heavy shields now that I think about it
visual shadow
They need to rebalance a lot of things, we all know that. I just hope they are quietly being worked on for a future patch.
There isn't much visibility on things from their official sources and I'm not gonna dig for that shit/rumors
bleak forge
There are a few devs that are pretty active on X and they are aware of most of the issues.
The quick swap animation cancel, no clip[ping through walls, and addressing the spawns are the 3 things they know are an issue but were unable to complete for the last patch
The venator nerf, shredder rebalance, and stella montis spawns were the 3 most egregious they focused on for the last patch
I know there is a youtuber I got reccomended that compiles most of them into a weekly video so it gives you a headsup for the upcoming patches. I would just need to dig through my youtube history to find them.
bleak forge
Got another one, anyone still need?
bleak forge
GOT A SPARE OF THESE NOW
Have had decent luck hunting raider caches, just have to pay attention to the sound and then search for them
I swear just trying to do this lidar scanner quest i keep finding nutty loot with a free loadout so i never finish the damn quest to try to extract with it lol
bleak forge
7 spaceport runs
to do the lidar quest
because as someone so eloquently put it "I kept getting blessed with the GOOP!"
Also doesnt help that it kept spawning me in late
Hope they clarify what you will be graded on for expedition bonus skill points soon. I've gone back to hoarding everything just in case lol.

Oh yeah if anyone wants to play, my tag is Lhya#4104
bleak forge
hell yeah, now if they dont have the foresight to split expidition players and non I just need one more banked bp for either renegade/venator and I am all set for reset
@glossy sundial also ping me when you want that bp
bleak forge
Ok, after some serious thoughts I think I agree with you guys about the Venator but not for the same reasons. Its agility stat and being able to draw it and save my life when someone jumps me breaching I think combined with its damage may be a bit overtuned.
Between tac 2's smoke grenade on shield break and Venator being ready to rock it has saved me so much from opertunistic fucks.
glossy sundial
@bleak forge Yo if you're free today let me know!

Yeah i can hop on in a second
west roost
gonna be on and off the rest of the week. let me know if anyone needs a fill.

oh jeez
I need to do that and learn that map. It is apearently the best to get augment bp's as well as apearently the trials
vital coral
Hidden bunker is PVP hell in 3s, gotta fight no less than the entire lobby to get the loot. Apparently thats where the Vulcano BP drops tho
bleak forge
oof.. I need to do hidden bunker for the trial...
visual shadow
doesn't hidden bunker only happen at specific times
bleak forge
yeah
its a modifier like any night raid/electro storm but does add an extra 10 minutes to the match time appearently and opens the extra area.
It was coming up soonish but servers crashed
visual shadow
it's worse since it's only on spaceport, so if you miss it basically have to wait til tomorrow if you aren't no lifing the game
bleak forge
managed to at least knock out snitch damage and first wave wrecks after work but couldnt hit the hidden bunker
unfortunatly only bp I got so far this week was red raider flare lol
vital coral
For the weekly, go into hidden bunker on solo with a free kit. Its usually full of chill guys that will line up to download the data. You won't get loot but you can just click terminals till you get 3 star
sinful birch
Door glitch exploit fixed and quick swap fixed
While I dont like people being able to steal good shit by glitching through walls, i am kind of gonna miss it in the game. Made for some crazy engagements and everyone raced for the locked rooms because no one needed keys

need to haunt residential in night raids for a while lol

Sure, would appreciate it.
Im gonna try to get loot mk3/med mag/wolfpack this wekend

Fail horrible and laugh my ass off while doing shenanagins.
So appearently roketeers are like turtles...
bleak forge
Hell yeah, totally paniced and threw the wolfpack i had in my safe pocket into a random chest but w/e lol
1 down, 2 more to go. (med mag bp+loot augment bp lol)
totally got it in a complete unrelated place. I followed the trend of looting all the resi's on Dam to be let down after like 10 night raids only to decide to loot hydroponics on a whim and got both in random breach containers lol.
glossy sundial
is anyone doing trials in this game
I hate the current ladder that Im in so much lmao
and oo you got the wolfpack bp. poor blazing
last mica
trials suck ass for real
spend 35 minutes clicking arc on hidden bunker, then try not to get extract camped
bleak forge
Yeah Hidden bunker is ass lol
Though I think Ill have to try doing it more since it so far is the only confirmed event that can drop bobcat bp's
bleak forge
Welp, time to live in blue gate for augments lol
bleak forge
I really need to burn through keycards... taking up like 30 stash slots lol.
bleak forge
huh interesting
bleak forge
I think its the only "tech" slot for non-legendaries
And I have never seen confirmation of any bp's for the legendary mods though I have only ever seen the splitter and the legendary stock.
Ngl, I am half tempted to just sell my keys so I can have more stash space.
I feel I have gotten more efficient loot routes that outperform the key rooms anyways so they are just taking up space after the loot nerfs
bleak forge
WEll okay then
Sounds like they are also working on pre-set loadouts which will be nice.
sinful birch
Have those be permanent is great, like stacking each reset and its not gonna make anyone op, just a quality of life for the most committed

The past 2 ladders for me has been hell

well shit... at this point if i do manage a t3 augment bp I may just save it post expedition lol
bleak forge
Not what I was looking for but a start lol
bleak forge
one of the black blue gate crates
I got a path I have been running now that targets several.
at this point ill take either the mk 3 tac or loot though lol
Though I will admit some people get aggressive over those crates lol
only kind of sucks when you spawn in late though, im kinda to the point i go with a budget kit and just rely on the safe pockets lol
welp 2 in 3 runs lol
not sure what aggressive mk 3 is though lol
the irony is it was in one of the chests someone missed in one of the loot rooms. SEARCH EVERYTHING!
bleak forge
2nd one was from one of the square wall lockers on blue gate
last mica
I'm also not redeeming any new ones, theres nothing to do in the game so its time to wait for the wipe

Im thinking of buying this game is it fun to play solo or am I asking for a horrible experience?
visual shadow
it's perfectly fine solo, lots of friendly other solos, just gotta watch out for the campers and traitors

Solo just plays a bit differently. Solo is more of an looter shooter while duo/trios tend to be much more of a battle royale. Except Stella Montis... That map regardless is a bloodbath.

Anyone still looking for bp's pre-expedition let me know.
Gonna try for another Wolfpack,venator and medium mag 3 at least before reset to have my full kit.

Depends what you're looking for and what type of player you are, and ironically what region you're in. If you're more casual and don't have too much time on your hands, NA solos seem to be wholesome chungus where people constantly work together. If you're looking for a PVP experience, solo is not it, especially on EU. You just need to run into one person thats sitting behind a corner and wastes you instantly when you run into line of sight, at least in squads there is a chance of a reset when running into 3rd person abusers.
wispy merlin
Depends what you're looking for and what type of player you are, and ironically ...
i'm definity looking for a casual thing and i'm NA. i know its a PvPvE game but not looking to just get smoked the second i get in.
bleak forge
I definately reccommend it even for casuals. The ammount of shenanagins that have transpired from messing around in proximity chat I feel has made the game worth it in its own right and all in all the amount of fun I have gleaned from it being a base $40 game has already paid for itself at least for me. While there are bad apples in the game most have at least anecdotally found if you are friendly the game tries to match make you a bit more that way vs if you constantly jump people you go into sweatier maps.
wispy merlin
i'd like to play with people eventually but i'm very hesitant about it due to past issues.
bleak forge
Best piece of advice I can give is: think of everything is just being borrowed. Every piece of loot is just being traded around and thinking like that takes away a lot of the anxiety of the game and makes it a lot more relaxed and fun IMO.
bleak forge
better than nothing, stil think i prefer verticle over angled though
damnit accidentally sold it
I fucking hate that im to the point i mess shit up like that because of the lack of stash space
damnit

Hell yeah, server update has updated the lootpools on bps
Bobcats have at least been confirmed outside the disabled lost gate event now.

Your raider will get one additional skill points up to 5 per 1 million coins in your stash

bleak forge
I wish there were an easier way to tell value
from what I understand it will be a combo of stash worth+coins
last mica
yes
so money will actually have some use
can't believe I'm going to have to do money runs
bleak forge
I legit think I have 2mil in venators alone
They aren't too bad, Like a day run on my favored run can net 100-180k if im just running for money
nvm 1,238,00
hmm, I have a bnit to go then, im sitting about 2.7mil in stash+900k currency
visual shadow
Kinda hate that tbh, like I knew coins would play a part in expedition given that every item has a set value. 1 mill per seems is steep if you aren't grinding it out
bleak forge
Honestly that was a lot lower than I was expecting.
I have just been doing budget kit runs and slowly building up value from weapons
last mica
Its too high for how close to the wipe they are announcing it, but totally on track for this developer I suppose
bleak forge
I mean for permanant bonuses I don't think its terrible. If it were just until the next expedition I would agree its too high.
visual shadow
It's probably gonna be hell to play during the expo send off week
bleak forge
I almost feel its funny that people hoarding spare bp's will ironically make it harder to hit the mark but will be a risk reward for doing so. I think it all depends if they seperate expedition vs non-expedition players. I mean the former I will just be doing free kits for a while until I at least get my workbenches online but I think it will be low stress for it.
Though splitting the players would solve the bp problem
only need a couple more and the tables will be the only real thing im losing since i dont think leveling was that bad esp with the xp bonus
last mica
You can start the depature window by changing your system clock to 17th December
EMBAAAAAAAAAARK
bleak forge
you got to be kiddingh...
yeah lets not only give people a headstart but safety to trade bps l
last mica
I don't know if you can actually depart if you set it to the 22nd
but if you do change it to 17th it shows that the original requirment was 3 million
so they upped it
bleak forge
I still am surprised they havent addressed the bp hoarding since its widely known at this point
okay so it seems the skill points/stash space are the only permanant buff through multiple expeditions
though it seems the temporary will stack up to 3x and refreshes each expedition
so as long as you dont miss one more xp/repair/and scrappy
which repair is roughly what 50 durability so that near full repairs most looted weapons if you have done 3x consecutive.
visual shadow
its not bp hoarding if you have no way to control whether or not you get any new bp or dupes. If they wanted to mitigate it they wouldnt let get more than 1 of any bp once you learn it
bleak forge
That could be both nice and horrible
depending on how loot is generated
if it removed bps you know from the loot pool it would essentially thin what you could receive when a bp does drop which would make it very nice in that you dont get 10x jolt mine bps
But I have helped people farm plenty of bps and others have helped me as well get specifics so it does build a bit of community
That would however kill the rmt'ing that is going on with bps though which i am all for
I wouldn't mind at least be able to break down bps into a currency to be able to trade for them if you get horrible luck though
Like i still feel like im going like 70k positive for 10~minute rounds
Though now that they confirmed its money+stash worth I may just sell a lot of my epic components since I dont have tempest/bobcat/volcano/snaphook bps
because stash management this late in the season is getting rough
visual shadow
might as well just sell everything dont need outside of your prefered loot kit. At least not yet since they could always do some last minute change
bleak forge
I mean I am definatly to the point where I could just do free kits for the remainder but /shrug
I would be thuroughly pissed if they changed the coins being added to the total after cleaning my inventory up lol
bleak forge

ngl, the burletta is growing on me. the few times I have used it in an emergency it does do work

Another tactic for bastion would be to use a gun to break the leg armor and cripple it temporarily and then blaze grenades

Aim for the yellow joints on the walkers, fire nades are good too. When they get stunned from the leg breaks they had red orb as there core you can see, shoot that.
Rocketeers is focus thrusters but supposedly its better shoot right above their center eye, the shield will fall off and its takes more damage there

it's riskier since you have to expose yourself to its sensor though. fight from indoors with cover regardless

dont think so
I ahvent done enough research on spawns to be fair outside of wasps/hornets. I dont know how the mediums size arcs enter matches
Just queens/matriarchs always spawn at match start when its the modifier and hornet/wasps spawn periodically or when a snitch scanner goes off. Then snitches have 3 minute respawns.

Yeah, there has definatly been a rise in people jumping those that bring in decent loadouts for queens/matriarchs. I straight up have just been policing people that I catch doing that shit instead of doing anything on the bosses since I don't feel that behaviour should be rewarded.
Just been going in with an anvil and a dream since most of them suck at pvp they are just leeching kills off people trying to fight the bosses.

Speaking of the Bettina, has anyone encountered sketchy rats more often when bringing in purps and golds? Maybe it’s my Tarkov paranoia but almost every time I bring in a higher tier weapon someone ganks me right off rip. My cheater sense goes off
bleak forge
Not really. There is aggression based mmr so the more you go full aggro the more the game tries to match you with more aggressive players. Unfortunatly you can also get false flagged if you consistently win fights since there is always some pvp in most matches so there is a bit of luck.
As far as gear based mmr they did state they toyed with it early on but felt it gave people too much gear anxiety so it didn't get implemented on launch.
There also was a severe increase because it is down to the wire for the expedition so people are being much more cut-throat to hit the 5mil credit mark to get the full expedition skill point.
Post expedition things will likely calm down.

I mean I dont neccesarilly think it was a bad thing especially right at reset. Would have just gave people a jumpstart going into the expedition to catch up some
last mica
Simply game the system (Have a friend make an extra account through steam family and dump a combined 160 blueprints into it to trade back after wipe)
sinful birch
That sounds like something I would do if I didnt want to actually play the game 🤣
vital coral
finally got the 5 million, now I can finally shoot someone and get out of these boring peaceful lobbies
bleak forge
im on the fence of trying to do a bp swap or just saying fuck it and enjoy farming them out again. Now that I have a much better understanding of how to scavenge the 2nd time around shouldnt be as bad.
glossy sundial
Im still looking for a torrente bp
i need to actually sort mine lmao
and the looting mk3
bleak forge
I think i have 2. I can check
glossy sundial
I havent seen it drop yet
o ty ty
ill prolly log in tonight and figure out what bps i want lol
bleak forge
I need to find someone to do the great swap lol
glossy sundial
yeah
i have one in mind but i havent asked yet since theyll have to clear like 40 inv slots
glossy sundial
When are you avail?
bleak forge
allright sounds good
bleak forge
@glossy sundial hopping on now
bleak forge

glossy sundial
<@189261435673509888> hopping on now

bleak forge

sinful birch

visual shadow
I havent played in 2 weeks 
lets see what happens
visual shadow
wait I barely have a million coins and they added a skill reset, forget expo
bleak forge
Hell yeah
still looking for wolfpack+med mag and then I just need to find someone to hold bps for the expedition
bleak forge
Hell yeah,
The event itself like downstairs seemed meh but bps during thje event seemed pretty good
Then again there was a guy we killed that was just hunting people that got the keys so when we inevitably found them and had 3/4 keys we only had 10 minutes left for downstairs
Now i technically have all bp's for a maxed bobcat outside of a kinetic converter which i think is drop only?
Jeez, bobcat with what 35 round mag, kinetic converter, and extended barrel has to absolutly lazer people
glossy sundial
Is there a vulcano BP?
last mica
Drops in Hidden Bunker
last mica
I don't even have 1
glossy sundial
same. i havent fdound it yet
glossy sundial
yeah im gonna farm it here in a bit cause i do need some of those
Sakura is helping me mule my BP
bleak forge
Oof i still need to find someone to mule my bp's for me
bleak forge
Anyone not doing the expedition willing to givce me a hand muling my bp's through the wipe?
sinful birch
I am wiping unfort
bleak forge
Yeah, i know its not likely i find someone but worth a shot
Though if i do find a taker, your welcome to any duplicates
bleak forge
okay now the game is just taunting me...
glossy sundial
How's everyone on arc now lmao
bleak forge
I had an eventful first day. Got a good amount of bps. Most tables back to 2 and gunbench to 3. scrappy is 4 but man I cant find mushrooms to max him off to save my life lol
Gonna try to push for 45 to get sec breach back though.
bleak forge
Like every cold snap I felt i was getting 3-5 bps per round
glossy sundial
Mushrooms my behated dude
bleak forge
Got tac 3 healing, bettina and heavy/light gun parts so once i get the egar bench to 3 I may toy around running the buffed battina to kill arc for the epic drops so ic an get all 3's back
glossy sundial
I've found 1
bleak forge
Like I have grabbed every one i have seen since wipe and i think im at lik 3
but its all scrappy needs to max out now so I will slowly get them. I have started finding them more on blue gate so as long as i dont get late spawns I can find thgem
I know of at least 2 common spawns but if i even start like 3 minutes late i never find them
bleak forge
I havent gotten a chance either
At least I can now have access to hatch keys so once i get gear 3 I can run 3 safe pocket augments again and slowly get them back lol
Aside from wolfpack bp I have gotten a decent amount of essential ones back just from running cold snap. But I want to trade back my rare ones lol
I wants to finally use that bobcat now that I have its bp as well lol
sinful birch
Im away for the holidays but im FIENDING for the goop
Havent played since before reset and im not baxk for another week 
bleak forge
Man, I wanted to do some more grinding but servers down lol
Want to try for the tempest bp. Hoping the event will pop this week
bleak forge
Oh servers back up.. yay
and it swapped on auto fill.. sigh
Hmm, guess ill waity for a lush bloom to try to cap off my mushrooms
bleak forge
lol not bad for a quick match
one more toaster and im back in buisiness
locked gate coming up
WEll that and 6 bastion cells... I want to use my epic augments lol
and servers down again sadge
bleak forge
Guess the game is telling me shotguns lol
bleak forge
Oof, looks liek I finally repaired my reputation to get out of hyper aggro-queue
bleak forge
oh jeez Im doing it again >.<
bleak forge
Yep I ran bunker last night
got that and shotgun mag 3 the match after so i think i have most of its atatchment bps as well lol
glossy sundial
THROW WHAT NOW
bleak forge
Snowballs...at rocketeers... lol
so go in 3's and get really good at showstoppers lol
glossy sundial
My ladder was sick. i was at position 28 when i went to bed
bleak forge
legit impossible if you are a solo player lol
glossy sundial
I got kicked out and got to 46
bleak forge
oof
bleak forge
at least the rewards this season are terrible so the only people really doing it are those that just need the high rank.
bleak forge
Okay, so you can also take out 2 rocketeer thrusters and then just unload with snowballs before unloading a bunch of stockpiled snowballs... So once again rediculously easy for trios but solo players are screwed.
seems like each person can add about 6k points each before it detonates from not being able to fly.
bleak forge
Oh no... must not be toxic lol
burnt schooner
anyone want deadline and light gun part blueprint?
