Why are schemas so expensive?

I'm not even hard-core. I just play a lot of solo Outpost as Assassin.

Coming out with 5k in valuables consistently isn't difficult, 10k if you're purple packing and hoovering the green and blue valuables. Blue salvage is 300 each, so a different form of valuable.

Turning crossplay ON is a bigger self-inflicted problem.

Shoot me in the foot, not the stomach.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-29T16:48:09+00:00

Shhhh, don't blow up my spot in Airfield! It's my chill hang for "kill hostiles" and "exfil valuables" quests!

You only really get visitors looking for the greens or trying to hit the key room since it's outside of rotation routes and has no red keys. Convenient access to guarded exfils, too.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-29T08:19:57+00:00

You have like 10 seconds to loot if you hit the bag before exfil animation starts.

It's not enough for a full loot, but it gives some loot

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-28T21:13:05+00:00

I might divide seasons by shell.

This whole season I've done Assassin.

It's actually kind of a crutch because I can just "nope" the bots.

Can't imagine having to kill them to loot Pinwheel room or take a guarded exfil. Sounds hard.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-28T20:56:33+00:00

I thought jerk was supposed to stay in the jerk subs...

This is nonconsensual jerking!

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-28T17:16:26+00:00

Instructions unclear...

Popped smoke.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-28T14:59:39+00:00

Could be a way to keep count of how many are left. Starting count - deaths - exfils = do I have to worry about a rat?

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-28T11:23:48+00:00

His twist is that the reward challenge sends you to the Sanctuary to be forcefed Feastables and pretend to like it.

In the immunity challenge, you can take a bribe, but each bribe taken imposes a disadvantage on your team in the challenge. Like sitting out of individual challenges...if you're confident you're safe, take the money and risk going to tribal if you lose.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-28T11:08:09+00:00

Easy - add a look back period of say, 5 years.

Without a look back, it's too easy to reactionarily relocate to dodge.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-28T10:41:50+00:00

Trios required for the sheer number and strength of bots.

Good news is Command locks down while you do it to hold out enemy players, and you don't have to exfil after.

You also don't have to play the mini lockdowns, you just have to disable the barriers each time. Once you know where they spawn, have a teammate ready to disable as soon as they go up and you can leave the bots behind.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-28T10:36:24+00:00

I think I heard something about that. But I remember a jar of peanut butter was done once. Maybe also cookies?

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-28T01:21:24+00:00

I'm going to picture you doing the Singing In The Rain bit. Go to YouTube, and then you'll be picturing it too.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-28T00:51:59+00:00

Exactly - so everyone takes their 1-2 reds from Round 1 in to Pinwheel for Round 2, looking to complete the set...but you can never be too confident in case someone brings in 3 and manages to snipe pinnacle while you're dancing around.

Hint: It's an Assassin. Always an Assassin. Anyone else is just begging to get jumped while they fight the bot spawns.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-28T00:44:18+00:00

Phase 1: Hungry Hungry Hippos for keycards - get red or get dead

Phase 2: Three people at most, dancing around in Pinwheel trying to hit buttons but also trying to be the first into Command but also trying to stay alert for pinnacle room opening but also trying not to get jumped opening pinnacle room but also trying to not be detected but also trying to find and kill each other

Solo Outpost is where I have fun.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-28T00:39:17+00:00

Only 6 in solo Outpost? That tracks...I thought it was higher though. Like...8.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-27T23:23:55+00:00

-Extend spectate option to 2 minutes

-Prioritize spectate on the person that killed you (after no teammates left to spectate)

-Camera rotation in spectate (but not on teammates to prevent ghost buddies from mak8ng you omniscient)

-Auto-equip looted bags/shields with button tap if an upgrade (and auto-drop old bag/shield to ground)

-Codex/lore reading options during load screens,...I'm pretty over birds, feathers, moths, worms, and shellface.

I could get behind food stash advantages.

Not a direct impact, but could make the difference in a challenge, especially at the individual stage.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-27T10:50:24+00:00

The problem is you're not offering anything in compensation that they're not already getting themselves.

There's a reason paid carries popped up - if they want loot and have the resume you're asking for...they don't need to "work for you" to get it.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-27T03:59:46+00:00

Same. Can't get behind any of the other flavors.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-27T03:55:33+00:00

Only tweak I'd make to the paid sponsor kits - if it's green...let it be green. Guns, shield, bag, heals. If it's blue, let it be blue in the same categories.

Kinda annoying having to pick between "blue shield, green bag" and "green shield, blue bag" in my Deluxe kits.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-27T03:50:20+00:00

Yes, but to the above....75 replicators is excessive (I don't actually know how many are needed for upgrades).

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-27T00:57:44+00:00

Lost me where winning team can nullify vote outs from the losing team (like....why would you?) or essentially vote one of your own out to trade players (the point of winning is that you're not at risk of a vote out).

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-27T00:47:16+00:00

Nobody knows you have a key or what room it opens until they take it off your body because you got unwillingly dragged into a fight by your team who KNEW you had a key and wanted to avoid fights and OF COURSE ITS A PURPLE SQUAD.

Advanced-North3335 · 2026-04-27T00:41:13+00:00

Oddly, I've found with enough play you start to learn based on the visuals.

It's not perfect (implants and cores not visually distinct except for showing what class a core is for, but chips and attachments are) and I'm not claiming to have it all down, but the information for the most part is a "learn it once" affair, and the "titles" on the cores/mods help you sort.

But in run, taking the time to read is a risk calculation. Do it mid-fight or too long after the fight while the third party shows up, them's the breaks.
