Besides hoarding, "Gear fear" is a natural thing in these types of games. People don't want to risk good gear if they aren't certain they'll walk out of the match with more than they walked into it with

Anyone want anything at all since I might reset afterall, drowning in dam tower and other keys, spare jupiters etc.

Was interesting seeing in hotshot, even top guy with 210k points wasn't promoting up because final tier is top 1000 players, aka mixture of glitching, no lifing perfect spawn/extract and I imagine for most events 3man splitting up and covering whole map./

I had that first wipe, not so much now, however I still try to be efficient and use my worst guns, Problem is I've run the same venator the entire week, much less touched my 12+ of every purple gun. Ran the bobcat a little last week. Want to try and use tempest more heavily since I'm already used to medium ammo w/ the ven, though I think in most broad cases I just want to start using my renegades more.

Game desperately needs some of those updates for new items to shake things up a lil.

The issue with guns is there is hardly any variation for PvP. Can run an anvil and kettle/stitcher and survive against epics easily. Only time some epics/legendaries come into play is with tougher arc. Go to the practice range and run a bobcat vs a stitcher kitted out with the practice dummy. Do the same with vulcano and toro, renegade and anvil - really the only differences between anything will be utility for arc with Jupiter, equalizer, (aphelion is worthless) and hullcracker.

I’m only running them now because I have so many but really my other guns work fine against everything.

Case in point here. A bobcat fully upgraded and kitted has a value of 60k. A stitcher of the same, 8k. The bobcat takes 20 shots ttk close range. Stitcher 17 which gives a VERY minimal gain (like barely) to the bobcat because of the fire rate. This just shouldn’t be the case.

Been collecting snitch scanners today for the wasp trial. Buddies and I have about 90 snitch scanners ready to go. Was gonna go into a night raid and try to do them off in a corner.

yall know how many it’s realistically possible to kill on a 30 minute map? We were thinking about throwing 9 or so and then using Wolfpack. Haven’t tried it though.

trying to score big and get promoted twice to hotshot this week.

any advice welcome!

Don't throw more than a couple at a time. The game caps how many you can spawn at once.

Throw two. They spawn. Throw seekers. Repeat.

I'd do a cold snap so you can use a hatch after. I think to stay warm use one of the more distant perimeter building in say space port?

Hold on to them and sell me your extra's for $5. lol

I have just the video for you, do it on hidden bunker 40 mins and most people focused on the data for trial, guy pulled 70-80k points.

I'd bring a few seekers or like in his video a wolf for an initial 6 scanner pull. You will not be able to bring enough seekers in to do it that way if your pushing points and not simply 3 starring.


I wouldn't copy him exact, he's pretty up there on the amazing aim etc, so I'd bring in a bit more ammo to start.

I did mine (And should redo it) Cold Snap Dam right by the Raider hatch by the apartments. Perfect spot to stay warm, out of the way for the most part, and easily ready to duck out the hatch when done.

The hardest part is just grinding out the scanners. Which I just collect casually durning the week. I just got 30k points lazy style.

Probes will be interesting. I've been doing it with spaceport hunting down the landing probes. Zipline route wide around the launch tower.

I got 14k doing probes during Storm in Dam and I wasn't even really trying. A lot of them are concentrated near Scrap yard and the Fort, down to the water towers, then up through old battlegrounds to Pale and Ruby apartments and up the hill back up to North Complex Elevator. Tons of them are laying horizontally on the ground. Plus you get 2x points. Definitely beats prospecting probes event. You can get 20k easy if you bring a couple stacks of adrenaline and as you reach north complex go through the electrical station, down the hill towards the lake, connect up at Annex and then extract at Water treatment. Bring a buddy and it's even easier having one go counter clockwise and the other clockwise around the map at those locations and meet up at Water Treatment to get out.

Ya, Dam during storm is a goldmine for probes. 3 sometimes spawn on the roof of the testing annex as well

If using Snitch scanners make sure to throw them around the area, if you throw several at the same spot they spawn-crash into each other.

Also go check the ground where you threw them if they don't go off. Sometimes they can be picked up again.
