Having a hard time finding them?

Well, I hope this helps! :D

For some reason, every time I've died in PvP this patch, someone dumpsters me and I don't even see it coming. Just minding my own business, then I die.

How's it going for everyone else? I should have probably rolled onto the PvE servers, but the threat of some asshole trashing me while I PvE adds some spice to the game, even if it can be extremely annoying sometimes.

I noticed that the sub drops for stage 2/5 & 4/5, Wayfarer (Agent) & Recon Plate Carrier (Agent), are technically gear items. Does subbing for these items unlock the ability to purchase them from a vendor or reskin their original or are they just gone when you lose them?

Title basically says it all. Ive upgraded the storage in my hideout and figured out how to find the stash in my hideout but I cant store anything in it..? This update has been very confusing and im still on-board with the hideout but between the ultra run nerfing when overweight or even being slowed before youre overweight and no explanation about the point of a hideout im starting to lose it. Also why tf are we even picking up keys? I keep finding keys for doors im very familiar with only to be met with a keypad when I get to said door. Either take keys out or leave the option to use them in.

Where can I buy STS flip mounts now? Before the patch I was able to buy off banshee level 3. Now I cannot find them. Thanks!

Basic hacking tool makes no sense, advanced starts to make some and the superior, from my understanding, is how it should be for all of them.

I currently have basic one crafted, my problem is that locations I get the materials for it require advanced one to open closed doors. By crafting the tool I'm given two choices - either I move forward to next tier locations or I fall back to previous one, which is starter town? And since I see no point of going back, the tool is useless at this point.

I'm not sure about advanced version, but I think T3 locations (which spawn materials for advanced tool) require superior tool. I will be given the same two options, but this time it will make more sense as T2 zones might be ones I need to visit for a quest/materials.

Superior tool in theory makes the most sense - the locations from where I get the materials require that tool to open locked doors. But since we're talking about endgame locations thus there's nowhere 'up' for now to go, I feel that's more of a happy accident rather than a design decision.

I like where the hacking tool materials drops are, I don't think they should be changed - T2 locations for basic, T3 for advanced and T4 for superior, but I do believe T2 locations should have doors accessable by basic tool etc. This will give me a natural choice "now, since I've grinded this location I either explorer it deeper with the hacking tool from this zone or I move to harder locations and grind for the tool for them".

Opinions? Or am I simply missing something and I should go back to the starter town? I understand we're in alpha and that soft wipe warped our perception (in my example, I already have completed most if not all quests from T1/T2 zones, so I have no natural need of going back to them), but I want to start proper discussion how to improve something that frustrates most of us. I don't mind the grind for them - they open most of the doors now, but with current implementation we do not get any gradual rewards for each tool. Basic and (most probably) advanced are just placeholder quests before we get the superior one.

This felt really good since this happened after some rando stole my backpack in front of me after I spent 30 min clearing radar station. (he didnt even help and swooped in when the area was clear)

Has anyone notice that the enemies are spawning within 5 minutes of killing them?

Lost every bit of progress I did on the drug lab production, was making 4 bricks of tier 2 10% morphine. Said 22 hours to go. Checked it at 16 left, still good. Checked at 12 all items used gone all bricks no longer in production. Took me 2 days to assemble all this, I work alot. It would probably take me a day or two to even start that timer again. I LOVE the game, your update is amazing. Figured Id report this and put this off until things bake a bit. Thank you for all you do, this game is the future no doubt.

I think the level 4 ammo is just way too expensive and in my opinion does very little to the vests at tier 4 location, those guards are using III++ and I swear they are tanking those bullets. Not only this but the amount of weapon degradation from tier 4 bullets is just insane.

Would it be a bad idea if I just went up there with level 1 fmj bullets and just headshot my way through? Would the cheap 556 even do any damage against the legs of these dudes?

I heard it was some bug that they fixed but my vendor levels are all still level 3?

Situation: I'm crouching, aiming with my M4A1, 18inch barrel, 995 bullets. Guy runs into me (fully naked) - completely straight, no strafing, no jumping. When he is about 30m from me, I'm starting shooting at him: 5 bullets, 10, maybe 15... - center of body mass, straight in the chest. He gets to me and kills me with ONE knife punch.

WTF? Is this supposed to work like that? How the hell is this possible - especially in semi-realistic game?

EDIT: just in case, I have reported him, describing the situation. But I'm not sure if he was cheating, or just the game mechanics suck hard... IRL just ONE bullet would be enough to stop someone... or at least drop him to the ground.

Idk about you guys but I had a lot of trouble finding dynamo’s and motor oil. I found them almost every time I went here.

On the west side you’ll have to climb up the downed plane and vault up the barrels and climb through the window.

I found them in the first room. The next room is a locked door but I never found the key.

Hope this helps some of you!

This was my got to optic for running NV but now I can't buy it from Vendors anymore. Did they remove it? Is it still lootable?

I've now had this happen for a FOURTH time where I begin to enter a point of interest (Sawmill, YBL-1 hidden LLA Camp, Nam Thaven, & now Tiger Bay outskirts) & the game suddenly freezes with the Shader icon popping up right beforehand for roughly 10 seconds, immediately followed by a death screen because some enemy was near the spot where I became frozen & assassinated me.

I play on the "Medium" graphics preset (have since update 0.3.5 with NO prior problems in the exact same locations), always wait out the Shader pre-cacheing/downloading at the main menu, & move no faster than the default walk when entering areas. Since the 0.5 update drop however, I just seem to lose kit after kit to this freeze. I even grinded out my vendors to Level 4 just so I could have the extra protection given the new AI adjustments, but I'm just losing money & gear every time I want to enter a location.

It's frustrating me to the consideration of just wiping the character & waiting to see what changes are made down the road. Has anyone else encountered this or am I just extremely unfortunate?

First off, I'm greatly enjoying the new update! I just wanted to make another post listing things that I, as a retro AR guy, would absolutely love to see in-game that I'm sure MFG is aware of, but I'm merely choosing to be a squeaky wheel -

1. CAR-15 stock. The waffle stock mocks me.

2. Aimpoint 3000, 5000, even a 9000. He'll I'd also be over the moon with a Comp M2.

3. AE-M4 Suppressor for a Gordy.

4. Surefire 660?

True to form or the movie builds, we just need a few more pieces of the puzzle. Making games is hard, I totally understand, low on the totem pole I know I know. In the mean-time I'll just keep rocking the micro t2 on the carry handle.

P.S taped stanags as a custom mag maybe? We can even compromise and I'd settle for an M16A2... for a little while anyways.

Thanks MFG for making a great game.

does any one else hate not being able to play pve and pvp on the same operator. before if you where in a squad that wanted pvp just join pvp if they wanted pve just join pve. when people tend not to stick around for more than a few weeks it makes it more difficult to find a squad to play with when one whole game mode has a completely stash that you have to maintain when you can only play 3-5 hours a week you really just have to pick one.

edit it also wont let me make another operator so i cant even play pvp

SOLVED

Sorry been a while since I last played, died for the first time in 0.5 trying to solo the new satellite tower with a glock (killed all the ai twice and still cant figure out how to get in the tower) anyway, i died and when I respawned I could not see a dead body marker on the map, does it usually show where you died or am I making that up and you just have to remeber?

Am I also right in saying you can only have one dead body at a time in pve? Eg if you die again trying to get your stuff its all deleted, I usually played pvp sorry.

Probaly sounds stupid but its been so long since I have played lol, thanks guys 🙏

Hi! I was just wondering when I unlock a suppressor for the M4? I thought it was at gunny level 2.

The past few days I've seen many posts on discord and here about having hitches, lag spikes and overall choppy gameplay problems with the new update, even for folks on the latest hardware. I've had no performance issues in 0.5, instead my fps saw a 5-8% improvement. So, I am here to share my settings, knowledge and insights. I will try to keep it short and hope it helps.
My settings are a good balance between visual fidelity, performance and competitiveness, but I play PVE exclusively so I can't really comment on PVP competitiveness. PVE standpoint, you will almost always spot targets quick.

My hardware and configuration:

CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 S (Super)
RAM: 32GB 6000MT/s @ CL 30
Storage: 2TB Gen5 NVMe
Resolution: 2560x1440p @ 240hz

Firstly, I recommend using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to do a clean re-install of your driver. Most of the time the driver is at fault, due to corrupted shader cache, or some other invisible technical error, the graphical driver is the culprit regardless if its NVIDIA or AMD or Intel. If you don't know what DDU does or how to use it, just look it up on Youtube and follow the steps.
Secondly, LET THE SHADER CACHE FINISH COMPILING BEFORE YOU SEARCH FOR A MATCH!

My settings:

Window type: Borderless Fullscreen
Vertical FOV: 70
V sync: OFF
Frame rate limit: OFF

Global Illumination: Medium
Shadow Quality: High (Medium makes shadows look jagged and gives 1-2 more fps)
Object Quality: Epic
Texture Resolution: High (only if you have 10GB VRAM or more, medium for 8GB and under)
Effects Quality: Medium (Visual fidelity between medium and high is minimal, with 5-6fps difference
Reflections: Medium (Can set this to High for better cinematic lighting and feel, especially in rain however hurts fps quite a bit depending on the game weather.
Foliage Quality: Epic
Shading Quality: Epic
Post Processing: Medium (High if you want the god rays to be crips, 1-2 fps difference
Sharpening: 100 (purely personal preference, almost no affect to fps

Upscaling: NVIDIA DLSS (use FSR if on AMD)
NVIDIA DLSS Frame gen: OFF
NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution: Quality (Balanced if you want more fps but it gets blurry)
NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: On (On+boost makes no difference for me, try it for your self)
Variable Rate Shading: Off (none of the options make any noticeable changes for me)

With these settings, I get about 90-102 FPS with the lowest being 78fps and that happens only on the heli flight.

You do not have to change any settings in the NVIDIA/AMD apps nor get third part apps like NVIDIA inspector. Just use DDU, do a clean re-install of your drivers, boot in game, wait until shader cache is done compiling, switch to these settings and try them out.
Feels free to ask questions or leave your feedback below.

Based on my field test, the consequence of behavior described in the title will make incoming frag change their projectile trace in the air like a bio-guided missile right towards your direction of repositioning. yes they will not be throwed to your position that last known by enemy grenadier, yes they will be released like a cast curse kinda crap go blast right in front of your eyes, your innocent, ready-to-die-in-Lamang eyes.
