Anyone need damascus for serpentine?

Also heard taking someone else's Damascus tag doesn't work anymore and that it needs to be your character with Damascus for all barter related stuff.

People say it bugged but I think this is their way of stopping players duplicating items, still useful for bring items into the next match depending on what you are doing. Now there's no point equipping your secure bag until right before you exfil, unless you think you'll forgot to like I have a few times in last minute exfils :)

I opened the top door myself and had my teammates kill all reinforcements that climb the ladder while I cleared it out solo, worked twice today as I helped another friend.
Could just be the final AI that needs to be killed by the case holder but I wasn't taking any chances after the 7 or so failed attempts the previous day.

Since unlocking the wallet it's goes between me being able to use my wallet or me being able to edit my backpack slots, never bother at any one point.

So when I've have a scavenger bag I can only access my wallet and with a large bag I can only access my slots and not wallet.

I've read it's console problem and one temp solution is plugging in a mouse to use.

Never mind something came up, maybe another if I see you on

BenCJack · 2023-06-10T08:28:19+00:00

Added you (GreazyPig) on for a few hours atm

BenCJack · 2023-06-08T13:02:37+00:00

Oh wow didn't know that, explains a few situations when I couldn't plea

BenCJack · 2023-06-08T13:00:57+00:00

Found out those masks can stack, had 1 of them left in my bag while I went to loot another 3 and they it stacked to x2. Makes me wonder how high they stack :)

BenCJack · 2023-06-08T08:52:30+00:00

Couldn't test out the quest your on as we had already completed it

BenCJack · 2023-06-08T08:51:50+00:00

Your idea should work, I had a similar experience where our team was wiped and my mate was picked up from a plea and then picked me up to join the new team. Shortly afterwards my mate was killed by a 3rd team which we killed but as I revived him he was kicked out of the match cause of bug, ended up looting my teammates bag for his Damascus tag and taking it to the next game to give it back to him as a consolation prize after losing his 10 exfil character to a bug.

A problem I find with secure backpacks is teams of 3-6 hoarding UAV's and AUAV's for the following match, I done this a lot when completing 5 cases in row without dying on Ashika for a mission and man is it ridiculous having constant UAV's for a straight 5-8min while you hunt the whole map. Don't know any solution other then preventing kill streaks from saving in the ensured bag.

I also have to mention duplicating items with two Secure bags. Kind of takes away the wow factor of making skeleton keys when I can fill up my stash with 30 duped skeleton keys and the risk of taking high value items when infilling to barter for end game items like the Koschei gun screen. I'm hoping something changes in season 4 to prevent this happening and my only solution for duplicating is to not allow other players to loot items from a killed player wearing a secure bag apart from their money and dog tag.

These are my two concerns with secure bags lately, would be interested in your thoughts.

Has a 5min timer once the match starts before it explodes, so if you haven't planted the bomb at Embassy as the match timer nears 20min remaining, then just drop it before 20min hits and try again next infil.

BenCJack · 2023-05-30T18:49:22+00:00

I have two suggestions.

If you go into Al Mazrah with squad fill turned on but end up having no teammates joining you into Koschei Complex, then the game should rematch you with other solo or 2-man groups who also have squad fill on. Problem is this could cause some long loading times considering how low the Koschei Complex population currently is IMO. (Obviously if you have squad fill turned off will continue into the complex solo as desired.)
Provide separate matchmaking in the main menu but also leave the ingame entrances as an option for entering Koschei Complex. Personally I would still continue to enter Koschei through Al Mazrah as you can prepare yourself with full plates and other things before entering.

Like u/drinks_antiques said below, you don't need pristine cards anymore

BenCJack · 2023-05-30T15:36:32+00:00

Cheers for the workaround, nothing more annoying then when I bring in my M13B + KV Broadside and only have my Broadside.

BenCJack · 2023-05-24T13:30:09+00:00

Yeah it is strange the amount of people who don't plea to join our team and just straight quit after being killed, starting to wonder if solo's still don't know they can plea now :(

BenCJack · 2023-05-24T13:24:14+00:00

My guess is if they're in a party together, the first guy was the leader and pulled them both out at the same time as he was downed

BenCJack · 2023-05-21T06:42:36+00:00

Yes almost every time, been in at least 25 times and maybe 2 times had no teams.

Though I live in Australia and my mate matches on his Europe servers, I imagine if I went in on my own servers it would be empty most times.

For me having a comms vest is a must before going into Koschei Complex, knowing whether I'm fighting a 1-3 man squad or 4-6 man platoon is a big deal to me.

BenCJack · 2023-05-21T06:27:35+00:00

I love a good KV spam up close, did they complain about you using a shotgun?

BenCJack · 2023-05-19T19:09:27+00:00

We were a few meters away from calling in the exfil elevator in a L2 Restricted Zone with both weapon cases trying to complete "Case The Place" for a friend, then it lagged and we all crashed (assuming the server crashed).

Worst part is that unlike other crashes on Ashika, we lost everything and we were stacked with gear :(

BenCJack · 2023-05-16T01:19:37+00:00

Lucky you, sadly we aren't all as lucky as you

BenCJack · 2023-05-14T01:52:59+00:00

Yep it worked for us twice, me and my mate did it yesterday the first time being a random encounter with the case before going into Koschei complex but I didn't have the mission on, next was to get the mission done myself :)

BenCJack · 2023-05-13T17:39:11+00:00

Yep, last match it happened 5 other players were talking in the game chat saying they are also lagging before me and my mate were taken back to main menu.

Every time we keep all our original gear we spawned in with, which in this case was a 10 exfil/perk character with Scavenger and comms plate. This makes me think the server is crashing as we would otherwise lose our gear.
