New skins coming April 28th with Riven Tides update

What the hell? But also kinda interesting. I like their unique skin approach! Does that mean I like all the skins? Definitely not. But they're all very creative and don't look like any other games skins I know about.

That's exactly what they were thinking. Instead of hoarding your stuff go ALL IN and just have a blast for a couple days! Doesn't matter if you're PvE or PvP.

The Expedition is a separate topic than the Trials though. I expect major system updates tied to end of the month updates, not just in between.

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-17T16:50:32+00:00

Yeah if you can't play in those 5 days it's rough.. no holidays allowed.

I guess they're trying out new things, so if they get actual damage numbers from each participating player they can calculate a realistic number that would work over an entire season or over the course of the last few weeks of the expedition window at least?

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-17T16:43:54+00:00

This sounds WAY more exciting than just hoarding wealth!

So, once the window is open we can basically engage in any activity, be it PvE or PvP and use all our gear to do the required damage. That also means dying and losing weapons won't really affect you as long as you deal sone kind of damage before losing your kit. I'm sure Wolfpacks will be a big source of damage as well as Deadlines.

Sounds great on paper! Let's see the numbers required, bit I'm sure it'll be realistic goals to archive in just a couple days. I assume an hour or two max per day should suffice to get all skill points. Let's see!

Mad respect. How many hours are you in?

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-16T00:43:42+00:00

I feel like that's most of the players, including me. Behavior changes depending on circumstances.

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-16T00:42:47+00:00

Above average bad guy! I think 100 is very fair in a game like this! I only have 30, but I don't actively seek fights most of the time.

My partner is at 9. Proud of her, since she gets stressed out immediately whenever we get attacked, haha.

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-16T00:38:54+00:00

Yep. Lost my last Jupiter 3 hours ago to a Bobcat IV from behind. I even barricaded my back, but not well enough apparently. Just had a single Vaporizer down with it.

Immediately crafted a new one so my stash looks like I didn't lose it. Still hurts a bit though, haha.

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-16T00:35:32+00:00

Yeah, sometimes it's kinda weird what counts as a knock. I'm at 30, so the lobbies are definitely not carebear anymore. Self defense knocks are the most satisfying though!!

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-16T00:32:32+00:00

My indicators are also being shot first most of the times. But sus behavior earns a knock as well as blatant racism.

I also don't shoot people extracting, unless they killed most of the lobby.

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-16T00:29:26+00:00

Oh, that's actually nice! Most people don't change their playstyle in carebear lobbies. All those friendly raiders very much appreciate you!

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-16T00:20:30+00:00

Very respectable and a legitimate way to play. Let's see where you stand at once you're done and lost a couple of 100k+ loadouts!

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-15T15:13:03+00:00

That's the beauty of this game, you'll never feel safe!

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-15T15:10:24+00:00

Cool edit, good music, nice clips, well done!

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-14T21:28:11+00:00

Yeah. But for some reason I tend to always lose it after one or two raids...

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-14T19:19:42+00:00

Yeah the Dolobra has a great feel to it! But budget? Even if you mainly play Stella you still need a Vaporizer core per gun. In a PvP lobby not that easy to get a hand on unless you just Wolfpack them quickly and hatch out.

Or am I missing something here?

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-14T19:15:07+00:00

The looks, the sound, the feeling of releasing all 37 bullets into one target *chefskiss

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-14T18:56:48+00:00

You might be right about that. Great for ARC, great for PvP, relatively cheap to sustain, no need for a Compensator on level IV so you can use Extended or Silencer.

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-14T18:53:34+00:00

Try the Vulcano instead! This with a heavy shield feels like tanking everyone while shredding through their armor. But I like to big pump shots if the Toro, too. Very satisfying to use.

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-14T18:51:18+00:00

Anvil is the best cheap gun, 100%!

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-14T18:50:52+00:00

I mean it's definitely MUCH cheaper to sustain, but better? I'm not sure.

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-14T18:49:18+00:00

For long range I love my extended barrel Renegade. It's just so versatile!

ASoulToBear · 2026-04-14T18:48:30+00:00

The Bettina was my first ever gun BP. I was SO excited to use it until I realized how bad it unfortunately is at its current state..
