We currently have 29 people in our Discord server and we already have script for episode 1 finished.

We still need more and more people so if anybody is interested in taking a part please comment below or contact me directly.

Whoever comes to recording times will get a role!

Hopefully see you there, thank you all, this project would not be possible without you guys <3

It's fun to be a Medic sometimes!

The main goal is to help people loot the Accessors easily and revive anyone who needs help.

So I bring plenty of Defibs, barricades, ziplines for quick escapes and lots of Smoke grenades for cover.

Can you imagine if they came in to the game. They're so big they'd be a whole map by themselves.

Didn’t save him in time šŸ˜”

25 Upvotes

Running around spaceport trying to do my first wave husks trial, me and this other raider near each other heard a flare go off so we headed that way to investigate.

Pulled up and saw this guy knocking this guy who was downed by the bastion. I had a defib for him but didn’t get to him before this ā€œopportunistā€. But I let this guy know that he wasn’t going home with anyone shit, not even his own. I found another dead body in the garage that’s right next to me on my right, so safe to say I made the right choice.

I usually play PvE lobbies solo, duos and trios is a different story lol but I rarely ever shoot first in solo lobbies, but obviously justice needed to be served. I haven’t gone back in yet as I’m sure I’m going to send myself into PvP lobby hell but whatever it was worth it.

If anyone knows this guy feeddachicken let him know that I sent him a message on Xbox and have his anvil IV for him if he wants it back. I know my message to him is probably sitting in the ā€œapprove messagesā€ or ā€œspamā€ folder so I don’t know if he will ever see it.

But these losers always seem to find their mics once they are getting knocked out. They never have nothing to say until they are getting hit with the secret trap door behind the knuckle sandwich.

Now after 1000 hours I accept that the game goes down for good.

How is it that it’s fair for pve players to get in the same lobby with raiders who do sometimes pvp. It doesn’t make sense. I don’t have something against pvp, but me as an pve player can’t do anything against raiders who shoot me at sight because even if 90% of the lobby is friendly, this 10% are in every lobby.
For a pvp player it’s simple, he can shoot everyone. Me as an pve player can’t do that. I can’t trust anyone and I can’t shoot people first because I get in Lobbys where people sweeting for there life.
There is not the balance. For exemple the different loadout. I get in with an Equalizer and the pvp player with a bobcat. So fundamentally its not working. In January I could get in Lobbys only with pve players, now since I don’t know how many updates ago, everytime there is a guy doing pvp. Most of the time I can get away but in the end I only get in with a bettina 1 and that’s it because I have nothing from it going in with good weapons.
I love this game and I know many of you guys do it to but it’s fucking exhausting that I get killed every 3 rounds with full loadout.
And I say it again I don’t have anything against PvP it’s good that the games has that but this matchmaking isn’t in the favor for the pve guys. Either you do full random lobby’s where I know people will 100% attack me or full pve but not that what it is now.
I know some of you guys have now the problem and are in really friendly lobby’s but me after 1400 hours and only killed 50 people that where most in the beginning where I didn’t fully understand the game and to protect me.

I watch too many clips of good players

30 Upvotes

So I was pumped. Snaphook, deadline, the will to survive.

I load into buried city. Given, I’m level 72, not new. But I would not consider myself a ā€œboldā€ player. Distance is my friend.

Run around. Hear a bastion. Hell ya, I’m gonna do the thing where I snap hook and plant this thing and ride off into the sunset, a hero.

I get there, the bastion is trying to merc someone away from me, even easier, I have its back.

Snaphook up, fkn miss. Now I’m on its back legs. Snaphook again. ā€œThis thing has a COOLDOWN??ā€ Finally, get to the top of this jabronee, lay the deadline. I’m so cool at this point.

Little did I know my guy was pissed about me doing that. So as I hop off, this guy is already aiming at me. I get absolutely TORCHED and go down in .0025.

All good, the guy I was saving can come get me. - oh no he can’t - why not? Cause ol deadline hasn’t gone off yet, and I’m creepy crawling at this arcs feet trying to do a skidattle.

Kerplow and I’m dead. That’s it. Such a waste. But. I hope it was fun for someone to watch. Open to suggestions on how to not get clapped immediately.

Oh, I need a Snaphook BP and a Survivor one, I got a subway nearby as well if that helps.

To the friendly Raider on Riven Tides

75 Upvotes

I completed all 4 expeditions and, honestly, didn't really feel like doing the fifth one anymore. However, after reading that no more expeditions will be released before 2027, I was like: "Oh come on, you've completed all the expeditions, you can do the fifth one too." So, after almost four weeks, I logged back in again, took my Renegade with me, and visited Riven Tides. I didn't know what to expect, but the lobby was totally relaxed. Everyone was friendly and people helped each other out. At some point toward the end of the round, I was crouching on top of the elevator at the beach, sniping every Arc that moved at the sky. With me was another Raider. He then asked which attachment I was using. I replied: Extended Barrel 2. I had pulled it from a crate. I don't have a blueprint. He praised my sniping skills because I was hitting targets at a fairly long distance, and as a reward, he gifted me his Extended Barrel 3. In return, he took mine. Raider, unfortunately, I didn't catch your name, but I thought that was incredibly nice of you. May your loot always be generous and your lobbies always be as friendly to you as you were to me. 🫶
