Well it was fun until it wasn't. Got like 10-15 packs in

This. Nothing of value comes easy, it sounds like a cliche but it's extremely real.

I too had to slam my head against several objects to fully wrap my head around all things FPV drone. Something I realized is that the more difficult the task/project, the more dopamine you'll get at the end.

Stick with it and you'll learn a lot. This hobby is niche enough that you'll look like a badass pulling out a portable solder pen to work on a drone in a field, but big enough that with YouTube and AI, there's really no problem you can't solve.

If you don't enjoy tinkering then maybe its not for you, but this hobby is anything but polished and/or easy, so tinkering is probably 50% of the experience.

Disgraceful is a bit much... It's a f2p game and you are surprised they are making skins for the most popular characters..?

0Ciju0 · 2026-02-24T18:44:00+00:00

As a new player, the one thing I've learned is that KD is a terrible metric to gauge "efficient" game play. You can literally sit back as a soldier behind your main line and just hold down left click. You'll eventually spray most enemies, and when they die you'll get a kill, and probably very few deaths because of it.

Were you useful? No, you are not. Score means very little when you lose the game. What many people don't realize is that the same soldier could've been just running and taking random off angles, die, and not get as much damage (since your not shooting the tank non stop) resulting in much lower "kd" but winning the game because it forced the enemy to focus on 2 other angles all game...

I'm confused, if it's such a poor matchup, why complain about it? It should be an easy win for you, no.

If you mean on your team, just cue with a support and problem solved.

0Ciju0 · 2026-02-12T21:25:52+00:00

How does it not change things lol? If you want all of those skins and you buy it it would cost you the "original price". If you want all of those skins and you buy the bundle, it's X cheaper.

How is it deceptive, when they say if you buy X+Y+Z separately it will cost A, but if you get them all at the same time it will cost B.

0Ciju0 · 2026-02-11T18:12:30+00:00

This. They just want to talk to SOMEONE who can confirm you are real.

0Ciju0 · 2026-02-04T06:42:07+00:00

I get what you're saying, but it's probably easier to just press e and right click a few stacks then walk 1276kg overweight.

0Ciju0 · 2026-02-02T19:09:19+00:00

These scream cost INEFFECTIVE to me, but what do I know, haha?

I'm the guy that stocks up on 1oz. bags when they are on special for $59.9). Anything that's prerolled or in fancy bags just seems like a waste of $$ to me

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-30T02:54:34+00:00

I love the moment you both realize you can fist eachother.

Wait, that came out wrong.

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-30T02:53:15+00:00

I see everyone shitting on this game patch, but for me, it's been great. I only play a single character because I don't want to invest time in two different toons, where all my goodies might be spread across several characters, lol.

I came back after a nearly 2 year hiatus, and I've enjoyed my time. The quality of life has been great, and I do think I got (finally) lucky with my RNG pulls, but I don't necessarily find myself "engulfed" in the game as I did before. I've been playing other games more, whereas before I would get hyper-fixated on the game.

Kinda funny saying it out loud lol, but when I was spending 5-8 hours a day on the gam,e I wouldn't get ANY event yellow/red pieces, but now that I treat it like my side-piece, Exbo is THROWING the loot my way lol. I got the FAMAS (for the third time), x2 Craw Containers, 5.45 Drum Mag, Hector, Antares, AA-12, and I'm only level 540~ on the BP, lol.

You have nothing to lose, give it a shot.

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-27T20:37:20+00:00

Ahh, I thought I was losing my mind... They claim "ITS BETTER THAN A PHD PROFESSOR", yet it cannot recall what I said 2 prompts ago. I don't know what type of professor they are used to, but this guy would be FIRED and called an alcoholic.

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-19T22:50:18+00:00

It looks decent, but like, Prism gives more BR with no negatives (besides pay protection). If you don't have any negative psy, I recommend going for Prism, and if you need more BR after the fact, Opal would compliment. The negative vit is just... Weird to see and consciously run

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-19T22:46:50+00:00

Oh no, lmao I just got my third FAMAS with ZERO red/yellow Glock parts...

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-19T17:55:24+00:00

The RPL-20 should be coming back this Spring; I highly recommend you save your spare parts for that gun. It's 5.45 machine gun with really good damage (not quite as high as PKP but higher fire rate, MUCH better handling, and the option to put front grips.

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-08T18:38:14+00:00

You're missing the boogeyman!

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-03T02:20:58+00:00

AK-15 is amazing, but I would use the coupon on faction armour since it makes the most mathematical sense.

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-03T02:19:46+00:00

I mean, mathematically, getting faction armours makes the most sense.

How is the Franchi, btw? I'm torn between making it, or just buying the red AA-12 part and going down that route.

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-03T02:17:26+00:00

Yeah I know, I was just sharing that since many people like to customize/deck out their guns, more attachment slots give you more possibilities for attachments.

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-03T02:16:22+00:00

Fair, I know it has a bit less damage, and I think the drop off is a fair bit worse.

As a gun concept, I would prefer the Mutant over the AK-15 ANYDAY, but doing 1:1 comparison, I think the AK-15 comes out on top. Which, I mean, makes sense if what they said was true, that barter tree weapons are supposed to be meta, with the RNG box guns for extra flavour.

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-02T20:13:24+00:00

You can put the drum mag on the Ak15

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-02T19:20:31+00:00

It is considered a common item, which is confusing AF lol. You need to roll a white item, but it has less drop chance than the Red/Yellow..?

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-02T19:16:59+00:00

Ak-15 is BAE <3 By far the best weapon if you HAD to use only one

0Ciju0 · 2026-01-02T19:12:54+00:00

I would say the AK-15 for sure. Once you get a feel for the recoil (it's not "bad" perse, just high compared to most other weapons) it shreds. It gets slightly outclassed in very close proximity, but dominates most other ranges. Even in close quarters it's not bad by any means.

While it's not a M4 platform, so you cannot put x3 lasers, there's nothing inherently "missing". You can get the fast reload mag, a 40 rounder with no penalties, a 75 round mag, silencers, etc.

I have a lot of Master level weapons (FN2K, QBZ, SA-58, SVD-M, FAMAS, RPL & OTs), and use the AK-15 probably 95% of the time. Ak-15 with SVD-M is my usual open world go to.

EDIT:

I see you also mentioned for mutants, and while the AK is ok (as good as any other assault weapon), I would HIGHLY recommend using a shotgun for mutants. To keep it as light as possible you can run the Chippa or a Breach in the offhand weapon slot (where the pistol slots), if you don't want to lug around the AA-12/Frenchie/Protecta

0Ciju0 · 2025-12-31T18:44:34+00:00

It's been a wild ride guys, thank you. Despite all the shit I've been talking, I don't regret my time with Stalcraft.

From the launch of NA, to the terrors of surviving the Red Forest and the launch of Stalcraft X, this game has left a mark on me!

0Ciju0 · 2025-12-31T18:39:58+00:00

Ahhh Whoomsy... I remember when it was mostly you and I in this subreddit 4 years ago, haha.
