Which is hilarious that it even exists like that. I expect it will change and having an ass pocket requires a rig of some kind.

This was a problem for years in Tarkov as well

Full naked is fun, but other than challenge its ultimately pointless except for very specific things (transferring items between players) when you can just do a freebie run, immediately extract and trade your freebie kit for a green augment. There is no reason you should ever be poor to a level that requires naked scavving like I've seen in other extraction shooters, especially when you get to keep all your freebie loadout when you extract.

I /wish/ naked runs had more purpose and you could kill more arcs with the pickaxe. That would be a lot of fun and I used to really enjoy naked knife runs on The Cycle, but they do not hold up to the same level here. Flying enemies and weird hit boxes make pickaxing arcs unrealistic.

So would this game be for me if I really don’t like engaging in PvP? I don’t mind cooperative playing at all, but the twitchy sweaty kill them fast kind of gameplay doesn’t appeal to me anymore. It’s on sale on PSN so I’m debating grabbing it

It's not twitchy or fast kills. Not all PVP is the same. You can play the game without ever actively engaging others if you want to be a little rat.

North America solo queue is usually pretty chill if you get matched with other chill solos. Just don’t attack people first if possible and you’ll eventually get matched more often than not with chill people who are more interested in PvE than PvP

Unless they nerf stitcher/ferro maybe. Very much yes, just was nice for the first 6 or so raids fast after wipe on Stella stress free. Funny enough only death was dam with no stamina after a couple rolls vs 2 hornets and only had one magazine of stitcher to work with

I’m level 3 again on all crafting stations save the stations that need bastion and bombadier parts. Met up with Gator Gator for my blueprints and have all but one stash unlocked. Amazing how fast it goes when you know where to go. One more 200k stash upgrade and get some bastion and bombadier parts and it’s better than before I expeditioned.

One thing this game really needs is a way to ID people at a distance. The models and cosmetics are bland and shit and make it so everyone looks sorta the same and I have to think that is on purpose.

But, I'm generally peaceful. I see no real reason to shoot people in game cause usually I am there for a purpose. A quest, an item, etc. Shooting people just wastes time and resources from that objective unless shooting people is the goal. So normally I call out to people when I get the drop on them cause it sets them at ease knowing I coulda blown their ass away but didn't. However, some people still say 'don't shoot' etc or act friendly and then shoot me in the back. Fair enough. I don't roll fancy gear most times cause its not needed and no big loss. The problem is though, unless they speak I can not tell what there user name is. I used to be able to do it by hitting escape and checking who is proximate to me in the menu but that seems to have been removed.

There really needs to be a way to ID people, so I can shoot these fuckers in the face when I see them again. There is zero consequence for treachery and its only by good nature that people aren't murdering each other constantly. I think the game would benefit from a system that allows you to ID people who have killed you before. Synduality, a rather poor by personal enjoyment of mine has the scan feature that a quick sighting doesn't reveal name, but if you keep them in your vision long enough it pulls up their ID and loadout etc. Something simple that let you see a person and perhaps ping them to tag them and their ID would be baller.

This game has the worst cosmetics of any game thus far. It’s actually a feat.

They’re kind of limited in what they can do if they don’t want to stray from the art design philosophy of “retro future 70s/early 80s post-apocalypse”

Yeah they sure are good at reusing assets.

My god. What are they thinking, that this game is about salvaging and reusing scraps? Unbelievable. Immersion absolutely ruined.

You can have a theme and still make good cosmetics, lol. GTFO boomer.

No shit, and reusing matches their themes. I didn't say the skin was good or that they shouldn't be better. Not being upset about something completely trivial makes me a boomer?
