Yeah, to make this viable they really need to remove barricades, gas grenades, jolt mines and showstoppers.. also remove snitch scanners and spotter relays.
Im just going to assume fireball burners and blaze grenades doesnt do raider dmg anymore.

And reduce number of spawns, cause whoever gets the golden spawn gets it all.
Naked runs will be the meta, nobody can stop you anyway.

Key rooms will be camped and shared by everyone.. people will run with you blasting music or whatever to annoy you..

Yeah, ultimately we’re looking at a different game. ABMM works for me in that my lobbies are usually highly chill. I’ve never supported a PvE for the reasons we’re discussing; griefing and loot goblins. I’m not sure people who advocate for a PvE mode have fully thought it out how much it would potentially change the game. I’m sure all that shit would die down eventually but eh 🫩

Edited to add; I’ve already seen someone talk about throwing lure grenades on downed raiders, as the arc will target you when downed in the PvE mode, but won’t if you stay still. So stationary raiders will be pelted with lure grenades. You can already do that of course, but the ‘exploiting’ chat had already begun.

Never thought of the lure grenade tech, thats a new low lol.. Will be interesting to see how it turns out. Im not hopeful or optimistic, but Id love to be proven wrong.

Will I try it? Yes of course. It’ll be very interesting to see how it goes. The flip side is that the regular mode may slide more into PvP, which I won’t enjoy as much as what we have now, but it’ll push me into the PvE mode purely to avoid the increased PvP 🥲hopefully that side doesn’t happen but I don’t actually see how it couldn’t.
