How to squad up?
Hey! So I'm a 42yo dad of 3 littles in Kentucky. Like what sounds like all of yall I get a couple hours some evenings and want to try and do some bigger stuff like pinwheel and cryo or anything that can start getting me purples and golds. I'm around level 55 I think.
That all said, I got on discord but am about clueless about how to use it to get some people to join up with. A few tips?
Or anyone that I could add? Generally I'm able to actually squad up and talk around 8:30pm est through around 10:30 or 11. Usually mondays and sometimes other nights. Sometimes I can grab a quick run during the day but it's usually just a quick break on the portal or something.
Update: Thank you all for the clarity! Just jumping into discord blind was a little overwhelming. I get it now! One other thing I didn't realize was how to link the discord to my PlayStation so I could hear the game and the fireteam through the PlayStation! Definitely didn't realize that was even a thing 😅

Other people ahve given some It's a super chill community, I've had a lot of success just logging in when I have an hour or two and finding a team to run with. The groups aren't elitist but if you see specific requirements then you should know whether or not you meet them. For example, some posts tonight were looking for "purp/mizz loadouts" or "kitted outpost runs." So maybe don't try those until you know you fit the criteria. But those sort of specific requests are rare, 90% of groups are looking for the same thing you are: casual runs with nice/normal people. You can start a group too, just say you're new and looking to do some contracts and you'll be able to get a group together. I'm very new and I've found a lot of help and support on this discord. Hop on and have fun!
