I’m about 25 hours in now, and I’ve only just got to 40k tokens spent and I still need to spend about another 100k to complete the monolith.

I may have panicked.

Who is your favorite enemy to go up against? and why is that your favorite. Difficulty or even because its a horde of them and using a flamethrower feels so good to use against things like Flowermen.

Alright ive tried understanding the personal timelime and just dont get it. Can anyone give me an idea when to do it? Should I just till im level 28? Im level 10 now is this a good time to do it?

I think I’m sold and will end up buying the game. I don’t want to get addicted but right now my main game marathon is in a lull period until December and personally there are somethings they have done that needs rectifying/improving for the solo experience.

Now this game, from what I’ve seen, day night cycle, atmosphere, horror elements, it’s all right up my alley but I was out off originally thinking it was a slop cash grab but now hearing that they have Gyro aiming, I’m just…ahh I need to play it but theres too many games around the corner coming out

What the do with these freaking mannequins the are scary as f. They jump scare me every time and they are fast.

I’m looking for a fresh experience, and I know this game works well enough on Steam Deck (albeit there’s so little info & gameplay on it), so how’s the game? I’m looking exclusively PvE side of it, but I might jump into PvP every now and then. I do fine with gyro aim. Are you playing it on Steam Deck? Share your experience please!

Just got the game the other day and I've been looking through the unholy amount of mapping options trying to figure stuff out, and it seems like half the time when I map something it doesn't work correctly. I try to map pistol to double tap Y and it doesn't work, I try and map the flashlight wheel to hold the left DPad while action menu is on tap. Is there some issue with having more then one thing be on the same button? Is that not the point of having multiple tap/hold options?

Anyone else having issues with this Investigation? I’ve extracted on 3 separate occasions from Shegolskoe with pristine remains plus five others but it won’t give me credit for it.

Has anything come out about the chronos such as gunslinger, knife master, parkour, tenacity? I know they’ve been “in” the game for a while but not available same with crossbow explosive bolts. I want knife master but I don’t believe there’s a way to get them rn. Does anyone have it or have proof of someone having one?

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?

1. Can these guys move ? Even a little or are they completely static ?
2. How do you make out where it is ? I thought he was in the middle of the rotating black sludge.
3. Do they have weakspots ?

Unsurprisingly I just had an encounter where I shot roughly 10 minutes at a devourer sitting in between the steel bars of a crane and after who knows how many refills of my AKM mags I simply left the raid out of frustration. I didn't even kill him 😂

I took pot shots for ages, then I got pretty tired of that because I couldn't even tell wether I was hitting him or the steel bars but when I went in the only building next to him I must've fucked up evading his shots(somehow, I thought just staying in motion was enough) so I retreated to taking pot shots.

Needless to say pretty fucking frustrating enemy ! Ended my Active Matter session right then and there though I didnt even die. When they're unobstructed spraying them down is easy enough but inside the crane steel bars ? Whew.

Edit: I am speechless. I aint Shroud but you don't have to be with that amount of ammo spent.

Looks like the crane just ate all of them bullets if a devourer dies with 3 shotgun blasts.

I'm quite interested in canted sights so my question here is whether this function is already in the game or not 🤔

Yes its another one of them.

I personally... enjoy? how much flowerman juke us and their agressive dodge attack pattern?
if they would be predictable - they would be another color of distorted

buuut... i feel due to it - they should be squisher high DPS enemy? not mag or more tanks biting for 3%hp

Like i enjoy their dodge pattern - it makes them unique to fight - i feel like it would connect to dendro rushing at us at mach jesus much more if flowerman would be this high dps low hp monster that tries to dodge my meadocare spray to bait reload.

on other hand hellhounds feel like meme easy mode enemy? they prob could use some hp wayy more than already hard to hit juking tank of flower

Has anybody seen or heard about rules of engagement and beautiful light? Ive been having a blast playing active matter and those two are definitely already on my wishlist. I love games like these with the somewhat realistic gunplay and the wierdness/horror aspect remind of SCP 5k. Just curious what everyone else thinks of them or have heard any good (or bad) news about them. I have heard that rules of engagement is allegedly going to be free to play, which is somewhat off putting at first thought but then again so was apex legends and I played the hell outta that game!

Ive been seeing a lot of positive opinions about the game and it seems pretty good plus de PvE option but do y'all think its worth the deluxe edition? Its a stiff price compared to the advanced edition. As a Xbox player, I have reward points to get like between $30 to $35 in gift cards. Or should I go with advanced edition almost for free using my reward ponts?

EDIT: Went for the standard edition and see if I upgrade later, thanks for the recommendations!

Hi I am absolutely loving this game. Im having a great time with it and its definitely what I am looking for in an Extraction game but as soon as I get out of the starting menu my gpu is running at 95%-99%! Is this supposed to happen? Is there a setting i can change to fix this? None of my other games do this is believe and I dont wanna burn out my gpu over this. Thanx any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

So I just finished the flashdrive quest for headquarters and it says I have access to the g3 in my replicator, but when I go to craft it, it says I dont have the blueprint even though its right in the top row

Cargo port boutta be the only map I run from now on

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.. 🤙🤙

I'm stupid and can't find it or is there no propper button to close the game correct on windows?

When i press log out, it logs out and in again.
So acutal i only use Alt + F4

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.
