hello, even in his own fucking damage calculator that made, guess what that gorillion extra ehp amounts to? one extra anvil shot before death. or 2 more stitcher bullets. again, straight from his own damage calculator.

hell just play the game and you can even feel how little of a difference the shields make. you still die very fast wearing pink blue or green.

the only value the shields have is against arc and the fact that blue and pinks last longer before being broken for longer drawn out fights in trios where you keep recharging 10 times over throughout a match.

I have no idea what the purpose of that item is supposed to be. The best you can do is cloak under an ARC boss and do a hard read on its movement and do a bunch of damage but Hullcrackers are way safer and less time consuming.

Brother, your jihad is your lack of critical thinking. You would have more time if you did it correctly.

Yeah it should. I just deadlined two bombardiers and a bastion. Could have been four but I took too long and I wasted one deadline because I guess putting it on the leg is not an instakill

why do all the legendary guns suck

>>556044304
Equalizer is fun on bosses.

>>556044304
Equalizer strips armor like nothing else. Bettina keks BTFO, imagine spending so much upgrading your gun and wasting so much space on heavy ammo when you can just use a laser minigun with extremely compact energy clips.
Jupiter is useful for dealing direct damage without having to strip armor. You can kill a bastion in about 20 seconds with 2 people firing on it. Rocketeers. leapers, etc.
Aphelion is the truly abysmal dogshit one. There's no reason to use it.

>>556043902
yea I was still relatively new at that point

>>556044826
how do i get queen reactors without killing the queen. no way I can do it solo

>>556045471
strip armor off legs and rush to the armor piece. people usually wait for those things to fall off so better hurry.

>>556045574
I will murder chungus players for loot I earned. Do you recommend I use a hullcracker since I dont have an equalizer?

>>556045715
can honestly use an anvil or even ferro. all that matters is you keep taking pot shots at the armor pieces until they fall off. worked for me when trying to collect 3 queen cores for the new project.

>>556044826
>Jupiter can kill a bastion in a minute while burning through all your ammo

Or... I can just plop a deadline on it and be on my way.

>person asking who wants an equalizer blueprint after matriarch run
>they have a fucking rattler because they're a freekit so they vacuumed the harvester puzzle too
not today fucker, you're leaving with nothing. killed them in front of everyone and retarded chungus cattle said and did nothing. if you're go to harvester you better bring a kit and contribute. the two people who were standing with me in the elevator had equalizers and said they didnt get a single queen reactor.

best part is I killed the freekit .5s before the speranza screen.

>>556046249

>>556046402
>chungus cattle said and did nothing
>I killed the freekit .5s before the speranza screen
how are they even supposed to react, I'm not some animal that leaves my mic open and screams if I hear gunshots

>>556045471
use your kekworthy bettina/anvil+ferro, or just wait for other players to strip the legs, then rush in and get it before they do. in chungartha nobody will shoot you because they're all mortally afraid of getting shot by everyone else/getting sent to the shadow realm. I regularly steal at least 3 cores, more like 5-7. but I do use the equalizer so I deserve them.
>>556046084

I'm not that new ~40 hours topside. I've died quite a few times to arcs and left not great but decent equipment and loot. But I hardly ever find any dead raiders myself. Am I the only one who is ass or am I just bad at two things, dying AND finding dead raiders. I'm mostly in mixed lobbies (I think) I feel like every match most people are chill and also someone will just KOS me when I'm not ready for it. No deciet or rat behavior just straight KOS. So I dunno. Ive also spent most of my time doing trials and quests so I have no sense of where the fuck to find good loot. Red zones are usually already looted and or I'm not familiar with those areas to know where to even look. I guess I should spend a few raids focusing on looting to get a better lay of the land. Okay I guess I don't have a question just a blog post sorry

holy fuck I'm struggling on simple gun parts

>>556047372
>in chungartha nobody will shoot you because they're all mortally afraid of getting shot by everyone else/getting sent to the shadow realm
I wish this was the case on one spaceport matriarch run where some retard attacked me over a single reactor, I downed him, then the matriarch downed me and then he convinced someone else I'm evil and I got knocked out

>>556054806
I've had pretty much the same experience, sometimes I wonder if bodies despawn or something, I've run to where a flare goes off, only to find nothing, and I'm even looking around going "hey anyone need a defib?"
I'm guessing most people try to crawl and hide in a bush so someone cant loot them
Or they have the Survivor kit that lets them crawl infinitely
But I almost never run into random dead bodies unless its a PvP lobby or I personally see them die

>>556055260

Nobody is doing her whenever she shows up there. In my experience. The lobby has less arc whenever it's the matriarch event. So you get really peaceful matches.

>>556059571
personally I always bring a 3 stack, put 1 in my quick use slot so even if I'm randomly murdered they can see I was just a friendly guy
keep the other 2 in my safe pocket and just consolidate the stack if I start filling up on loot

Raids are essentially just gambling. You're asking what the point of gambling is. Instead of trying to explain this, I will just post an excerpt from American Gods by Neil Gaiman.


Entering the casino, one is beset at every side by invitation—invitations such that it would take a man of stone, heartless, mindless, and curiously devoid of avarice, to decline them.

Listen: a machine-gun rattle of silver coins as they tumble and spurt down into a slot machine tray and overflow onto monogrammed carpets is replaced by the siren clangor of the slots, the jangling, blippeting chorus swallowed by the huge room, muted to a comforting background chatter by the time one reaches the card tables, the distant sounds only loud enough to keep the adrenaline flowing through the gamblers veins.

There is a secret that the casinos possess, a secret they hold and guard and prize, the holiest of their mysteries. For most people do not gamble to win money, after all, although that is what is advertised, sold, claimed, and dreamed. But that is merely the easy lie that gets them through the enormous, ever-open, welcoming doors.

The secret is this: people gamble to lose money. They come to the casinos for the moment in which they feel alive, to ride the spinning wheel and turn with the cards and lose themselves, with the coins, in the slots. They may brag about the nights they won, the money they took from the casino, but they treasure, secretly treasure, the times they lost. It's a sacrifice, of sorts.

Throwing them away in high traffic places

I started playing this game last week with a "kill or be killed" mindset. If I saw a player, and wasn't actively trying to rush somewhere in particular, I shot. Because even if they hadn't shot at me yet, they probably would later. It was partially about the loot, but mostly about self-defense, and the assumption that this was how the game worked.

Then I had a transformative few rounds playing solo. I was downed by ARC near extraction, and a stranger helped escort me onto the train to escape. Another player came across me and said he was opening a nearby locked door and asked if I wanted to share the loot.

And strangest of all, after taking a rocket to the face, someone ran over and defibbed me. He brought an item that used up valuable inventory space, for no benefit to himself, but only on the off chance that a stranger might need his help. What kind of man does such a thing?

But that was the wrong question to ask. The real question to ask was: with people like that playing this game, what kind of man was I? Who would fire randomly upon strangers, when so many of those same strangers would have so readily helped them in return? Surely only a monster would do such a thing.

My heart grew three sizes that day. I haven't fired first since. If I have a defib, I bring it with me, in case someone needs it. I offer extra lemons to those in need. Sometimes I live to regret these things, but not often. Thank you for showing me the error of my cynical ways.

I apologize to those I wronged in my first days. Thankfully I was not skilled enough to kill many of you. But I am a better person now, and will continue down my path of repentance.

I take off my hat for these heroes.

Even as someone who has pvp anxiety, I love the fact that the line between the two (pvp and pve) is blurred. With that blurred line, someone picking me up when I'm down and we have no history is a huge deal; they're sacrificing their resources and risking their run to help someone they don't know. It fills my heart with a very warm glow.

On the other hand, people killing me is also good; I'm a dad of a 3 year old, so the practice in being patient and delaying knee-jerk reactions is important. I double down on this practice by congratulating their victory and crawling somewhere they can loot me without being exposed.

All this being said, I've seen those videos where someone turns on their rescuer after being defibbed. If you do that, you have the aura of an unwiped ass. You can't blame your repulsive presence on genetics nor society; you are why you are alone.

>>556068274
I wont assume too much about him, but people like that usually have personal problems in their life and this is how they feel power

WiggerFucked is a rat

>>556068589
I just don't use expensive resources a lot, so when I do for a trial and end up getting shot and lose 200k or whatever, or what feels like hunted down by some cheater, just feels bad having to restock, it's not even that it's expensive, it's that it takes time
but I should probably just stop hoarding so much stuff in my stash and precraft some guns I guess

Honestly, they need to make the Queen and Matriarch attacks phase through walls. I mean these are supposed to be these big boss fights, epic clash between humans and Arc and....it's the opposite of epic. Taking potshots and ducking behind a wall negating all danger and trouble as you slowly plink away at this epic cool boss with no risk is super lame. I should have to time my dodge rolls, have allies shoot the rockets out the air, but instead, just hide behind wall. It is really lame.

It does pierce through bodyparts/armor, it's not proper blowthrough though so you can't damage multiple enemies at once.
The problem is that it's 60 damage in a line whereas hullcracker is 100 damage in an AoE.

>>556085748
I do think it has better chance for more containers to be lootable, and might increase the rarity of loot slightly since that is a feature of Night Raids, but it's RNG
also the 2x thing is for trials score, its not actually 2x rarity loot or anything like that
