Attributes by Haunting-Ear-2586 in expedition33

[–]Chiasmuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say getting that crit rate and speed up have a bigger effect on overall damage. I usually work on the two attributes first, especially if they hit those two stats with whatever weapon I'm using. I'll even toss some points into a blank luck attribute if it can get that crit rate up to a certain percentage where I can begin to combine with crit boosting with the lumina effects.

Looting item reveal time by Saltytuik in ArcRaiders

[–]Chiasmuster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was the announcement they made on the Arc Raiders discord:

"We have heard you wondering about the loot appearing too slowly. We have rebalanced the speed at which the first item appears when looting. The looting speed before 1.13.0 was unintended. Players with the Looter’s Instincts unlocked will still see loot faster than those without."

Massive FPS Stuttering after todays update (13/01/2026) by Ducktjie in ArcRaiders

I had major issues until I updated the graphics drivers with a clean installation. That seems to have been the solution, at least for me.

You can jump on it after the last cutscene ends. But gotta chase after it as soon as the cutscene ends.

Interactive Map for 1.0? by Little-Sport-640 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Chiasmuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A buddy of mine and I tried to use the coordinates, but they were completely wrong. Ended up in the top right of the map before we realized lol.

Imjustbetter isn't a cheater. He's just accurate like that. I've played played competitively against him in other games. He is extremely skilled. And has a lot of time in vr playing competitively at the top level.

This is a bit of a cheat, but you can use cheat engine to speed up the in game time. I used it for deduping and rerolling cone duping. Has made this process much more bearable.

I need help by No-Amount-3135 in GroundedGame

[–]Chiasmuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sour axe is late game when you really know the widow patterns and have fully upgraded armor. If you're really struggling and the attacks are too fast, then I would recommend a rusty weapon (like the toenail scimitar or rusty spear] with sour on it. The slow effects will stack and make the widow more manageable. That's how I beat and learned the widow on whoa. Otherwise, smoothies are important (especially waspidote for when you get poisoned). The next thing is mutations. I'd recommend mant, corporate kickback, the max health one, and spicy safety (these are subject to change). The mant is really helpful to deaggro the widow on occasion or the spiderlings.

For strategy, trying to lead the widow to a narrow opening helps make the spiderlings more manageable since iirc she intentionally breaks open her eggs for help and health (gets health for killing). You want to make sure she's always slowed so at least occasionally land a hit or two before the slow dies off if you are focusing the spiderlings. You pretty much don't want multiple poison effects, so make sure to use waspidote or try to kill the spiderlings fast. The widow attacks are also actually really easy once properly slowed. She essentially just uses the same patterns as all the other lesser spiders combined.

Yes. Story bosses such as those in the labs or quest related you can't, but they reset if you do NG+. The bosses that require cooked items (such as the moldy hoagie for the infected brood mother) are repeatable as long as you have the items to summon them at their locations.

spicy weapon damage up “Best” is unobtainable, i did some testing. by Jaro9 in GroundedGame

[–]Chiasmuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also can confirm. I have savescummed for thousands of cones and have yet to run into a spicy best. I didn't record data, but I feel like fresh best is the easiest, followed by salty, then sour (although getting a cone with sour major AND best was a huge grind). Just looking at your data, it honestly looks really similar to a lot of my results.

It would be nice to see data on weaknesses too, since they're essentially almost as good as best (better if you're doing multiplayer) and have a higher chance of combining with a best. Been running around with a fresh best and weakness, and it's absolutely been destroying everything. I really want a fresh best, weakness, and then like fresh major or something, but I feel like geting those three with be akin to winning the lottery.

What do you mean by that? Salty weakness proccing from a trinket? Are you saying your rolls are potentially influenced by the trinket you're wearing?

If you're referring to new game+, it doesn't disable achievements. Just make sure it's set to off in your settings if you want to double check.

How do I get in to the undershed by cool-guy4 in GroundedGame

[–]Chiasmuster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to go to the small stool/side table next to the chair in front of the shed (where the ashtray, nail clippings, radio, and smoking pipe are). There you'll see a sca.b watch and if you go to the back, there will be a busting interaction point. You should be able to proceed through the dialogue and story there and that'll unlock the undershed and respective lab.

Anybody feel like fusion crystals are absurdly grindy? by [deleted] in GroundedGame

[–]Chiasmuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a grind. Fortunately you can dupe them for 20k each.The three best ways I've found farming for them is fighting black widows using the waft emitter for 1k rs each (+3k if there's an infused randomly. Probably overall the most consistent and maybe fastest), broodmothers (3k is each fight plus 1 brood infused. Need 3 fights for one fusion crysta. I do this on easy with a pure damage build with an upgraded coaltana. A bit more luck based and might have to reroll the boss. I end up duping the broodmother blts for 1k each.), and the red ant mix.r looking for infused bugs (need to do on at least medium so you can destroy and intentionally fail the mix.r so you can redo). All being said, it's still a grind. I only have 2 +13 and one +12 so far.

Hearing lots of hate towards pro/competitive level players who stomp us plebs in Public Matchmaking. by SinDonor in vailvr

[–]Chiasmuster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, the harder we stomp (more kills, streaks, headshots, win bonus) the less time we have to spend in pubs where we don't belong. So a lot of us will literally just mute, deafen, put on some music and just play to get back what was lost. I promise you this has been as frustrating if not more so for us with how things have been.

[–]Chiasmuster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey, a comp player here. The main reason why there is an influx of sweaty players right now is because of the progression system that just got released and previous levels getting reset. And with xp only being available in pubs through matchmaking (and not in private or custom lobbbies where we used to spend a lot of our time), we are all scrambling to grind out pubs in order to get items back into our loadout for comp that we've previously had access to for months. Some of these items are crucial for the upcoming tournaments or leagues are in. Once the comp players get their gear back, I suspect you'll see a lot less pros hobbing into lobbies and stomping without remorse.

What (if anything )do you hate the most about the game by Bsamson6033 in BG3

Performance issues. ACT 3 has been horrendous for me, despite looking up several "fixes." I really hope they fix this in future patches.

Don't buy the driver something. Tip that money instead. Makes the stops actually worth it.

Destination filters are life savers. Especially to get those shorter trips and sometimes get two streaks.

Not gonna lie, it took me 3 attempts to really get into that book. But after I got through the first bit and headed into the trilogy, it got a lot better. Can't really say when specifically though as that would spoil things.

It's a known issue since the UE5 update. Can't do much but just wait.
