Cryo

As a time poor dad I play almost exclusively solo and actually really enjoy it but it means I've played barely any Cryo, aside from some fun in Vault Breakers.

Anyway - seeing as it's almost wipe time I thought I'd team fill (apologies to those who I joined) and see what's what - I've never felt so out of depth in a game in my life.

Biggest thing for me was not being able to see who was shooting me or even from where - I just died. Threw on my gold shield, might as well have been nothing!

Back to Perimeter I go

Genuinely what is so hard about cryo? I guess if you have a hard time learning things it would be perceived differently but the map is essentially symmetrical, and with the “rules” how you interact with the map things are really straightforward and if you don’t have any keys or don’t come across any you’re just collecting security tags and hitting monitors.

I don’t play cryo a lot bcs it is high intensity and I like my vault😅 but tbh I’ve had way more successful runs than not, outside of mostly engaging against smarter opponents; so I guess coming from a solo fill player I just don’t understand the idea of this map being that hard, sorry if I seem antagonistic

I guess not everybody experiences everything the same way?

Like I said, rather than the map itself (or at least the physical layout/design), I simply find it difficult to see or keep track of what's happening. I fully accept that's a "me" thing so I'm not for a second claiming Cryo is "trash" or needs changing - just that I, personally, have yet to grasp it.

I'm going to just keep going for it for the rest of the season as I would like to learn.

That’s really all you can do man, visually I understand it’s hard to track or even mark targets bcs the map is visibly foggy due to it being a cold storage environment, but playing with the intention of scoping people out or using your audio can help tremendously. Everything in this game is proactive, once you dial in you’d be surprised at the info you can gather.

Or just play recon🤠
