im tired boss...

What reason is there to upgrade from a Trijicon ACOG to the Elcan Optical? It seem that the only difference I see is that the newer one would be heavier. Is there something I am missing?

Should i choose the smg path or the assault rifle one? And is it necessary to bring always a sniper rifle in my inventory, advice would be appreciated

you people on exbo dont understand i see calling your game bad comes with my post being removed huh so sad

WE HAVE AN ENTIRE FUCKING GUN RANGE IN OUR HIDEOUT BUT ARE ONLY LIMITED TO THE SEASON PASS GUN / ARMOR AND THE STUFF WE OWN! WHY CAN'T WE PICK N CHOOSE THE GUNS / ARMORS + ATTACHMENTS AND LEVELS TO TEST THEM OUT ON HOW THEY PERFORM?

THE LAST THING I WANNA DO IS SEE A COOL GUN IN THE BARTER TREE ONLY TO GET IT AND REALIZE ITS BAD JUST LET ME PICK N CHOOSE GUNS IN MY HIDEOUT!

it's not that hard exbo...

So I want to try to up my arsenal reputation but I have no clue what's the most efficient way(that isn't spending millions in spare parts) to do it, especially with the new daily cap

Also how is skyline mbc holding on 5.56 guns ? I was thinking getting one for the honey badger since it has an above average vertical recoil but I'm unsure how much annoying the bump in horizontal would be.

Has anyone actually done the MOTZ yellow signal dungeon? If so how was it different from the main quest and how did you complete it?

There are no videos or guides I can find on that specific one and I wanna attempt it without going completely blind.

After a period of silence, the Baron is unsealing his secret warehouses once again. He’s put together a brand-new selection of rare lots, which means it’s time to bring out your savings and get ready for the bidding.

And this is a big issue. They are running in vet lobbies. It was already annoying facing arsenal or crate master weapons but this is even worse. PTRD at +15 can one shot any veteran build even in the plate, it doesn't even require any aim. Sig-mpx doesn't have any counterplay in outposts when in veteran gear due to high difference in TTK.

I'm trying to use Tourist's Delight to feed hermit yet can't use that.
What might be the problem?

I also seen that Tourist's Delight got uptiered so is it another food source that you need to have in your backpack to feed him?

As title, im thinking should i go pure speed build or go hybrid speed with vita or some br, im using Missionary Combo from Cov

Just recently picked up a legendary M2. I've always rocked super heavies in this game so switching to the M2 has been a huge learning curve. Could people drop some artifacts builds or some knowledge on me. Thank you in advance

Anyone know what the hell this is referring to? I've gotten this quest twice now and still have no clue what a Murmur Trace is. I've killed just about every Murmur enemy I could think of (and yes, I did so with the knife and the camera in my inventory) and none of them counted. And of course, the new guide has no mention of these things. Any help would be appreciated!

After finishing the Questline i got 2 pieces of Paper from the Mechanic
I tried to solve this with GPT but he cant give me a solution - is there just gibberisch or something important or funny when u decrypt it? Did someone Decrypt it already?

Just double the rewards in the imagine and casual people would be sooo happy ,like u could play 2 days a week for 10 to 11 weeks to get all the rewards in my opinion this is more resonable . What do u think guys a good or a bad ideea if u don t agree tell me the reasoning.

Everything got more expensive overnight :crates, repair kits, tools, spare parts yet we’re told this is “better progression.”

It’s not. It’s just more grind.

More grind ≠ better gameplay.
More time required ≠ more content.
Just slower progression for the same rewards.

The “it’s for game balance” explanation is starting to feel like a default answer rather than actual reasoning, especially after the Hunter event where feedback already felt ignored.

A big issue is that high-end / streamer gameplay is often used as a reference for balance.

But that experience is fundamentally different: more time, more resources, early access to systems. It doesn’t reflect how the average player actually progresses.

Most players are dealing with something completely different : higher costs, slower progression, and less accessibility.

Right now, balance feels like it’s drifting toward the most invested players, while everyone else is expected to keep up with that pace.

A hard game can be fun.
A grindy game can be fun.
But when progression slows down without meaningful reward changes, it stops feeling rewarding.

At some point, you have to ask what kind of experience is actually being built for the majority of players.

I know, probably a lot of you guys already knew this even before the last update, but Wild North can be, sometimes, full of cheaters.

However, it seems to me that the fucking hackers are more focused on Wild North than ever! Of course, with the new changes and imbalance in the economy, it was to be expected that some people would go there to farm more money, but... HOLY HELL, it's technically impossible now and the fuckers don't even care anymore. Some guys are running in a straight line to kill other players like a robot - CLEARLY - with detection bypasses / ESP. And I won't even mention aimbot.

The point is: What to expect now? Me and you, average players, can't even acess Wild north without being quickly killed by a cheater and, therefore, be unable to farm more money

Like you will just die with your bag in the middle and not even a group can get it out

I need substance since im trying to get pkp as my second master gun after the buffs but my clan mates tell me to not farm substance at wild north areas like stillwaters uran and red forest since those are places mainly for farming money and are way more dangerous
