I play pretty sweaty PVP and the game was nearly unplayable in my lobbies for the last 5 days or so.

Every single lobby is people with an inventory full of trigger grenades just spamming them like rocket launchers, so them getting changed means I can probably actually play again.

No mentioned of all the people exploiting walls/geometry to get out of bounds though, which means Stella is probably still off limits unfortunately.
After it started catching waves from streamers complaining, to becoming more common usage to the average person; i nearly "quit" because every fight was a series of trigger nades.

Now it's a blast because people are still using it like they would, and are getting caught for it. They're still strong, but not an immediate wipe or unable to react. I'm able to deliberately choose to take trigger nade damage then heal and/or counter fire with a ferro because they think they can get another one.

My favorite bit of recent patch was my friend telling me the kettle nerf was so useless, the kettle is still so strong, he is still destroying people with it.. having to sit him down and be like you weren't as fast as you thought buddy.

Got to matriarch core first, no BP very sadly. I can't even make ammo for my aphelion because they come w/ the other guns. 38k xp though from looting 2 cores and helping kill all the large bots around her. Enough jewlery and shit to finish expedition as well.

Anyone not resetting? Have padded stock, long barrel, wolfpacks, lv 3 of most mods/magazines etc if they wanted to trade for holding my BP stache in a month for reset.

Unless you got a bonus award after finishing it, I didn’t feel like collecting 70 berries for 50 raiders tokens, especially when you only got like 1 berry per bush harvest

Same on mushrooms, those are a pain in the ass

The mushrooms are easy. There is a spawn where they always spawn in the the north central part of the Spaceport map.

I found a couple of spots on Dam that had several bushes of cranberries reliably. They were still a pain in the ass to farm up.

You’re forgetting that all the reset people were also picking mushrooms to upgrade their chickens. I’d go to spawns and they’d be empty most of the time. The snapshot wasn’t worth the effort considering I’d only play a couple rounds a day

I love it when some blood thirsty PK joins a peaceful solo lobby then finds out just how peaceful people are when they all gang up on the one guy lol

Was doing the locked gate event, people all gathering codes and being chill. then one dude with like 20 trigger nades starts trying to kill everyone near the breach room, so we all swarmed him like angry ants after there was a brief lull in the nades (probably because he had to equip them). After he died people kept shooting his corpse lol

When you see the a red flare shoot up over the eastern spaceport trench you know it's a mushroom spawn dispute

Really sick of trying to get one of the 2 blueprints off queen/matriarch, either late spawns, or rush in, throw 5 woflpacks and trailblazers etc, she's dead within 5minutes, but shell juke as she dies and roll her fucking ball right into the pack of people just hiding nearby. PVE lobbies so it's like 30 people on her. I dont care about the gun but I can't make energy clips for my aphelion without it. (Jupiter would be nice though still)

Oh and deadline strategy is suicide because of the rain of hullcrackers and wolfpacks

75 again and sitting on like 30 BP's. Waiting to see what they say about reset changes. Starting to consider skipping it. 5 more points woulda been clutch, but my current build I'm pretty happy with and I'd need many more resets to reach end of tree yellow/red. But I really like the last middle tree on green.

Those 2 blueprints are also rewards for doing the harvester event from the 3 centre chests at the end (I think only the Equalizer gives energy ammo recipe). Much easier than getting from the Queen's core. Event is soloable but much faster with one or two peeps helping. Most peeps have the blueprints by now and will drop them for you in friendly lobbies if you say you need them.

If you need energy ammo, The harvester event also has 5 energy clips in every container (that doesnt have a cylinder) on the top floor which many people leave behind. Crazy cos they sell for 5k per stack, like getting a Snow Globe in every container.

I'm aware, they usually get done almost as far as the queen and has 10 people clustered around the 3 loot containers. Maybe better odds, but I usually catch the matriarch up most of the time.

But yeah I've stockpiled a few stacks of ammo from it, though takes up inventory vs creating on demand

They really need to drop more blueprints on these kills, or design alternate methods via a large quest involving killing a queen / matriarch or doing a set amount of damage with multiple quest segments if needed to earn the blueprint in an alternate method.
