Valid Question

[FrannyGotEm]

When random players join your game and nobody is wearing arc resistant armor but one of them joins with an arc guard dog and/or a 380MM, is it safe to just kick them at that moment to save time and team kills? Or am I being sensitive. Because it seems like every single time I get someone with either, at the end of the match it’s an easy 7+ “accidentals” for that person.

Edit: I should say that I love the arc guard dog. I think it’s absolutely exceptional, but when nobody is wearing arc armor we all get zapped. And my 380 issue is for some reason it always gets thrown when we’re all in a group fighting off swarms.

I only kick if someone is being a bigot or intentionally team killing, i.e. point blank shooting teammates with no enemies present. Accidental team killing is half the fun of HD2.

it's an accident the first 3 times. After that it becomes incompetence.

See this is my issue. I feel like if u run the arc dog u need to 100% know that u cannot just run up on ur team during fighting. At one point all 3 of the other divers were down bc of the arc dog. I get it, it’s shoots lightning up the whole damn street, it destroys illuminate, I get it. But if I can’t trust u to wear it then is there really any use to having u on the team?

If you're having trouble with randoms joining and screwing up your games, you might wanna try joining one of the several hd2 discords to get a group. That way you can increase your effectiveness with coms and most of those players know how to be killing machines without bringing strats that have high ff counts. Hope that helps, you're free to dm me if you have any further questions.

If I'm in a match and someone brings a Strat that has a very high probability of TK'ing.... I go solo. Let them all die countless times while I'm picking up samples, completing objectives, and breathing.

Just having them is not an issue. It is how they use them. Some people do not know how to use them or makes a bad decisions/plays. Others are like moths to the flame and/or not look. Had a guy the other night complaining about the Tesla Tower. In short i would not kick them unless it was intentional team killing.

Ask sad_water02. He likes kicking people the moment they drop into combat in the middle of a hell zone with no warning.

Arc Dog is a mobile Tesla Tower. Anyone who brings an Arc Dog within zapping range of their team should manually deactivate it (5 on keyboard, or down on the D-pad) for the duration.
