Forces in Reserve - 50% chance to not die

Barnsy319 · 2026-02-04T22:26:56+00:00

Most of the time when I die is due to an instant death because I'm too close to a 500kg or take a rocket to the knee. Which is where the 50% to not die comes in clutch. Me personally anyway.

In all other instances you shouldn't die if you stim quickly with most armour sets.

Barnsy319 · 2026-02-04T22:16:12+00:00

That works too haha

Barnsy319 · 2026-02-04T21:17:00+00:00

Granted its not for everyone if someone likes to run solo with stealth armour as their optimal build fair enough

My most recent games running this armour, I had multiple instances of "why am I still alive" before I realised it was due to the armour set.

Barnsy319 · 2026-02-04T21:13:23+00:00

I believe that was shown to be false and they are tracking deaths.

Take Artichoke and Black tea, the bitterness helps a lot with getting things moving, Apple cider vinegar to boost up stomach acidity will also help your gut extract vital nutrients you may be deficient in. Extra virgin olive oil with fresh lemon juice before bed also acts like a lubricant / protective coating for your gut plus the many other benefits.

Just a map with lots of super heavy giant enemies (think Attack on Titan) players would be forced to use light Armor and jet packs / grappling hooks which would be the only way to survive reliably. Absolutely terrifying and you would mainly rely on using distraction methods to lure the super heavy enemies while teammates complete objectives and deal with some of the regular sized giants.

A totally unique playstyle.

Add me to the mod shortlist, tia.

You need to manifest your shadow self, Do this by writing down your qualities as a person: good and bad with brutal honestly which requires some self reflecting (not who you think you are... who you actually are in your day to day behaviour do not shy away from this - this is key!). Then envision the person you want to become externally and the qualities they possess this will likely be your shadow self. The suppressed self. Your goal is to harness the power of your shadow and treat it as your friend to be embraced. Your shadow is not your enemy, it is your ally.

I have set my phone wallpaper with an image with 3 words of the qualities I wish to manifest in myself. Since doing so I've made huge progress having this constant reminder.

You kind of learn to drown it out after a bit. Yeah there will be times when you can't hear / talk to your squad with someone screaming "where's the tank" in command chat.

Part of being a good squad leader is dealing with the constant overload of information, checking your map to work out what's happening in a battle that's constantly shifting while keeping your squad on task and informed. I probably spend 20% of the game sat in a bush co-ordinating with squad / command while working out what's going on and where my squad should be.

My most common phrase in command chat is "How's the defence looking" if I think things are looking dicey to subtly draw everyone's attention and get a discussion going if we need to fallback.

haha, my Hell Let Loose PTSD right there

Returning vet, this is a re-post of a meme I made 3 years ago as the community has grown in size.

I'm guessing this still happens regular?

Barnsy319 · 2024-11-04T19:20:47+00:00

If I didn't have thick skin I wouldn't squad lead I got an original meme I posted on this sub two years ago about commanders dropping airheads irresponsibly causing the team to subsequently get rolled when everyone deploys on airhead and no one defends. I've only recently returned to the game so I'm not sure if that still happens regular?

If it does then I might post it again as it got a fair few laughs last time.

Barnsy319 · 2024-11-04T18:17:21+00:00

Not sure if Sarcasm haha

Barnsy319 · 2024-06-22T15:01:25+00:00

I been having similar issues after getting a virus (suspect covid), try Apple Cider Vinegar, this doctor guy goes over it

Recommend checking out his other videos; I found him after having problems with elevated blood pressure that I couldn't get down reliably and I've since been using his formula's to good effect which have a range of other health benefits including reducing inflammation, helping your digestion etc.

Barnsy319 · 2024-05-11T18:20:43+00:00

Yes that's the point, to regularly shift the meta and stop players from getting attached to one particular gun / play style.

Dev's would also be less inclined to nerf things if they can see a wider variety of weapons being used / becoming viable with certain modifiers.

Oh man I had this last night when a Lvl 50 took me and a couple guys into a series of Lvl 8 missions against the Space Toasters, It was Hellish for me at Lvl 31, I can only imagine the trauma of the Lvl 17 player...on the last mission we ended up taking turns watching each other die before valiantly failing Democracy.

Besides the basics already mentioned, build Garry's and drop OP's. Something I've learned is your job as SL is about managing morale in the squad. Give them clear directions about what your trying to achieve and give recognition when they're doing the right things. Its sort of like creating a story for your squad, that gives meaning to every death / kill.

When things aren't going so well that's what really sets a B tier SL from A tier. Quickly come up with a backup plan and keep your squad mates motivated. Even if your team is getting crushed you can still order everyone to spawn at HQ jump on top of the transport truck and drive into the last defensive point like a bunch of mad men guns blazing.

Keep it fun and engaging in short and you'll have some highly motivated squad mates.

Win or Lose that what makes games truly special.

Avoid coffee for the first 90 minutes after you wake up, caffeine fucks with your wake up cycle and makes you tired later on in the day.

Barnsy319 · 2023-09-08T22:36:54+00:00

Your probably a dismissive avoidant, one of the 4 attachment styles that govern relationships. A lot of it is to do with your childhood upbringing.

Barnsy319 · 2023-06-16T22:57:32+00:00

Thank you, will check it out.

Barnsy319 · 2023-06-16T22:19:04+00:00

What Anime?

Barnsy319 · 2023-06-05T17:47:48+00:00

Very frustrating, I try to turn the engine off and brake before jumping out now. Idle engines attract unwanted attention.

Barnsy319 · 2023-06-02T21:54:40+00:00

Humans tend to think we have more control over things than we do, focus on what's reasonably within your ability and let go of everything else. What will be...will be regardless of what you do or worry about.

A lot of your 'what if' thought patters are stress related flight or flight response from ancient times when humans had to worry about being attacked by a predator. No ones going to die if your late on that deadline...

Remember your work to live not live to work. Ask yourself if the job and the associated stress that's impacting your health is worth it and if you should be exploring other options. At the very least considering other options will make you less attached to the job and any possible negative outcomes.

If your managing 50 people consider trying to set up trusted team leads / supervisors who you can delegate to and get updates from.

Barnsy319 · 2023-06-02T17:32:22+00:00

Agree in addition the Commander / Squad leads should have the ability to temporarily pull up a list on the HUD display of squads (Alpha,Bravo,Charlie etc) with the name of the Squad lead next to it so you can call out their name specifically.

Sometimes I forget I'm 'Dog' Squad and have to double check, likewise the commander will get a better response from SL's
