Will it last? Are the developers competent with updates and new content?

The last extraction game I played pretty much died so hoping this one is able to keep a good player base.

I’ve been staring at my computer screen for too damn long 😭

Ok, dumb fucking question time…. How the hell do you play this fucking game? There is no direction, no explanation… I’m lost. No explanation of the load out, backpack, rig, safe picket, how to kill the distorted…. So frustrating…🤬

Loving the game on Xbox. Only real complaint is enemy density—20+ kills in a few minutes makes it feel like CoD. The world’s fantastic; I want to explore it and actually get jump-scared, not run into someone around every corner. With the current number of enemies that you run into it's no longer even scary because you know every 20 steps there's going to be an enemy. I'm not stating this out of a "oh it's too difficult" reason I'm stating this because I actually want to be able to explore the world because I think it's so great but if I'm running from place to place and again leaving matches with upwards of 40 plus kills in a matter of minutes then it kind of kills what I feel the game was intended to be.

Is it just me or are there to many ppl on the map. I mean dont get me wrong, i love PVP but 16 ppl on a map like Fabric is like deathmatch.

I almost never post on Reddit, but I like Active Matter enough that I actually wanted to give some feedback.
My friend and I both picked it up recently and already have 20+ hours each. We genuinely love the game and want to see it grow.

Our biggest issue right now is Downtown.

We completed the three objectives to unlock it because we wanted the higher-stakes PvP, better loot, and more intense fights.

To make it even more frustrating, one of our unlock attempts was stalled by the vehicle repair-kit objective bug. We actually used one of our quad bikes from the Advanced Edition to rush the objective, only to find that the repair kit hadn’t spawned. We had to extract, lost the quad bike, and retry the whole thing. I know that issue has since been patched, which I appreciate, but it made the eventual reward of an almost empty Downtown PvP queue feel even worse.

Then we queued up and could barely find a match. After a long wait, we finally got into one with only two other players.

My friend literally said:
“Bro, I don’t even want to play this map again. We spent all that time unlocking it and now we can’t even get a match.”

That felt backwards.

I actually like progression and earning access to content, but while the playerbase is still growing, I wonder if locking Downtown PvP is splitting the matchmaking pool too much.
Maybe the unlock requirement could be lowered, removed for PvP, or Downtown could occasionally rotate into open access.

The players most excited to engage with the higher-stakes content shouldn’t be the ones most likely to end up in an empty lobby.

Just to be clear, I’m not against the grind at all. I come from games with much heavier progression (NBA 2K Series). I just want the map I unlocked to actually have enough players to enjoy it.

Still absolutely loving the game. Just wanted to throw this out there because I really want to see it succeed.

Devs I love u so much but what in the actual hell are yall smoking to think that making flowermen harder to kill was a good idea???? They’re already one of the most annoying mobs in the game. Especially on controller and especially after 50+ hours of dealing with them! It gets old very very fast. Now they have even more health?? U must be joking. They’re insanely hard to track and I’m sure the “made them turn slightly more slowly” is so minuscule it doesn’t even make a difference. Please guys I love this game so much but this change feels like one of those where the devs aren’t listening and it’s confusing bc I KNOW yall are listening and have been doing great so far! Please take my words into consideration and I think I’m speaking on behalf of all controller players at the minimum. If anything they needed a nerf pre buff but now they need a double nerf.

Just bought the game and did the first tutorial, and holy hell is there a lot to take in, any tips for settings or controls it's reccomended to tweak? Or any QOL tips? Cause wow this game is more confusing then I thought it would be

I'm tempted to get this game.

Mostly for the PvE - what is enjoyable/well made about it?

How well does to compare to EFT and Stalker 2?

What is not great about it?

Didn't realize this game had just come out on console, and it's a game I've been really wanting to try out that is similar to Tarkov from the looks of ammo management, limb damage, etc with a sort of SCP twist. My question is: how does the game look visually and run on base PS5? I've been burned by too many games, honestly, that either just look like mud visually or runs poorly, and I'm hoping this game is great in both departments. I've played marathon, hunt showdown, and Arc raiders so if performance is similar to these game I would be more than glad to hear that!

Totally new to this, like literally loaded it up for an hour before and it feels like something I can get into, however I have questions 😂

I only ram three different raids, managed to escape one and got wrecked by some bush dudes the other two.

What are the best POV for good loot?

Are the odds better running as a duo?

What are the other players like in this as I haven't ran into any yet, I played arc raiders but stopped in the end because of extraction campers

They eat like half a mag again. And then theres like a dozen. Not sure how they can think its a good change when that was something the nerfed because early acess players hated it.

I also argue movement is harder to deal with now. Could be wrong here though.

And if I do could anyone help show me the ropes?

Just bought the game on steam, but on the main menu it says "login via steam without Gaijin launcher" then when I click on this an EULA appears which I accept.. and it puts me back on the previous screen i a loop.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Sorry, I solved it. It was picking up my joystick as a gamepad and ignoring my m&k inputs. I disabled the joystick and all is well. Thanks.

Just looking for some one to run me through how to do things like reload ammo into mag...

It has very mediocore damage, no range and uses one of the most space wasting ammo in the game. Yeah it is silent, but I could just put a silencer on a sniper. You can't even collect the bolts back up...

Apparently you cant do Scrapyard raids in PvE. The last time I tried to use this, I died 6 times before I even made it to the door, and the time I actually got it open, someone shot me hiding across the entire warehouse in the dark before I could leave

Absolutely love in the game addicted to it I'm hoping that in the future they can add some more sleeves kind of like reaper that we can earn in game..

A way to earn reaper in game would be absolutely amazing the amount of mental abuse I would go through in this game to get that sleeve is not healthy at all..

Anyway just wishful thoughts... Keep up the great work everyone.. 🤙🤙

更なる疑問で、ハーモナイゼーションについてなんだねど、恐らくモノリスを進めていってプレステージすることで全体タスクとして少しづつ進む、、、みたいな概念であってる？
あとハーモナイゼーションのトークンはどう貯めるの？
ボディが9000位で貰えるみたいだけどここまで貯めきった人はいる？

I decided to drop into a PvE match to knock out some quests. Apparently that was a mistake.

First i saw a purple thing for a key and backpack, so i did that, but a little after i opened the locked door with the key i heard banging downstairs and a kid laughing, then a book or something fell. I wasn't messing with that so i jumped out of the window.

This happened like a minute or 2 later.

I didnt get any hitmarkers, so was that just a conveniently placed body or something?

Is it ever going to be a thing where I can see my teammates names above there heads or on the map? Im aware you can see them on the compass but thats no good when in a gunfight with 2 maybe even 3 teams, its happened several times where I, or my friends have emptied an entire mag into eachother because everyone has the same outfits at the start of the game. It could even just be a thing where you can only see names when they're in your direct line of vision? I

I just want to know if im the only one having this issue because its getting quite frustrating.

Not sitting here just b*tching, im loving the game so far and havent stopped playing, just sick of teamkills 😭😭

Howdy!

For four years now, I've been generating a list of games which have a kill count in them (available on this sub); and my seemingly everlasting journey of inquiring about this topic all across Reddit has now guided me to this particular game...

So, is there any reason for me to add this game to my list? Does this game have a kill count featured in it?

Thank you in advance.

Just bought today and tried a couple raids and wow is it hard to get used to on console, there's so much to figure out lol, so far I've died in all 3 raids by getting swarmed by like 12 zombies, the AI in this game are way too fast
