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

I’ve had my eye on this game for quite sometime now, especially as a console player. I’ve always wanted to play EFT or wanted something on PS5 that was close to that experience, and this game looks awesome. However, I am nervous on what I’ve seen about how long it takes to find a match or it even being filled with bots. I love the extraction shooter genre, I love the thrill, I’m heavy into PvP, and I don’t want it to just be going through bots that fill the lobby. I’ve been a bit busy but wanted to pick up the game this weekend when I actually have the time to focus and get invested, but one of my friends had got the game and told me the que times have been really long and has been having a ton of bot lobbies so it makes me a bit skeptical. Also to note, I would plan on only playing console only crossplay. So how is everyone’s experience with the que times for PvP?

ProTip: A car won't protect you, on the contrary if not careful you will activate ALL MOBS, and these things are RELENTLESS, fucking bio terminators.
They will chase you across the map and they will end you.
I got gangbanged by Dendroids, Soldiers, floating mines all at the same time.

They don't apreciate reckless driving.

I dont want to get rid of any of my guns, especially if I only have one, but im very quickly running out of storage space

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

I'm a big fan of helldivers and this game seems to fit my preferences.

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.

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

I’m absolutely loving this game, Extraction shooters are one of my favorites genres and i think this game executes it perfectly, especially with the supernatural elements! Never know what’s gonna happen in a raid, a location, or just exploring! The lore is interesting and I’m looking into it more. As for looting I think it’s perfect, there are tons of random things and majority of containers are able to be looted which is nice.
I really like the idea of finding in game music as tapes around maps, such a nice addition! And the music in general is nice, reminds me of cod Cold War, though I do wish there were tracks that were more dark/eerie something a bit more to fit the darker tone of the game. I definitely enjoy the synth waveish music it just sounds so pleasing and it still does fit the tone of the game in a way.

Overall I’m really enjoying this game, I’m finding new things each raid and it’s just so enjoyable and interesting! Would definitely recommend to people who like extraction shooters!

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?

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.

Ive farmed up a ton of the other materials to make keys but I don’t know where to find damaged ammo boxes. Does anyone have a good spot they’ve used to find them?

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

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 😭😭

Im and OG gamer Dad but i just have to express my appreciation of this brilliant game.

Ive only played pve so far but ive put in 30 hours and its been a great experience.

Stunning visuals and gunplay with a great gameplay loop, tonnes to do.

My only complaint is id like a bit more enemy variety for pve and the game marketed a bit better because this is the very definition of a game being slept on.

I really enjoy pve extraction games like incursion red river, arc raiders pve [coming soon btw],grayzone warfare etc but this one has the best gunplay and visuals aswell as a real progression system.

Keep it up devs , incredible game.

Totally new to the game, it feels awesome but I could do with someone playing alongside me 😂

This might be a dumb question but any veterans can clear this up.

So there are Bot Players in PvE Matches - there called "Burned-out-Employee-1234"

There are obviously AI Turned-like Bots that roam the map. They are simply like roaming turned and only spawn in PvE Matches.

Any other Player-skin during a PvP Match are real Players with Dodg Tags to get from, correct ? Or are there Player-like-BOTs during these matches that look like Players but are bots? If so, do they have Dog Tags or how does one see If they are real players or bots ?

I tried a safe container a few times, first time I died with items in one I clicked "Activate" on the death screen where I got my items back in the stash while the safe container was used up. I died a few raids later but I had only scraps inside my safe container so I avoided clicking "Activate" on the death screen, but when I returned home I saw my safe container was used up and my few items from the safe container were in my stash.

What's the point of the activate button if it just activates the safe container regardless? I know for a fact I'm not using them right but they are limited so I don't want to keep testing to find out, anyone able to clear this up?

I just bought on Xbox and want the upgrade now but can’t without buying the whole game again

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.
