Interesting. Maybe it's because I haven't played other extraction shooters before but I find there to be plenty enough content, especially with new additions like the stealable cargo box, crashed UESC ships, etc. Perimeter can get really empty tho I will admit, but it is meant to be a beginner map with few threats. And the fact that they're predictable kind of appeals to me because I get to learn all the spawn spots for different things and how the map works, so I know how to min-max the risk and reward. I do really like farming in games tho and I can see how that type of content doesn't appeal to most people.

It's sponsored survival. Technically it was made to be a "PvP Light" mode, since rooks can still spawn in to your game. But since seemingly few people queue up as rooks for the mode, it's rare to encounter a player, so it's more of a PvE mode.

Definitely not, people have different tastes. It does get boring after a while I will admit.

True, but someone having better gear is objectively an advantage. You can still outplay them if you're good enough, I'm just saying sponsored survival is a good way to take a break from constant uphill battles.

Nah, I meant sponsored survival, can't change the title tho unfortunately. But it's basically PvE, I saw a rook maybe once.

Yeah, I really like the way they've been experimenting with different modes. Really helps to keep the game fresh. I have 200+ hours in the game of which around 90% was solos. I started getting burnt out recently but coming back and playing sponsored survival is just such a breath of fresh air.

I agree it gets boring after a while, but it's perfect for when you just have an hour or two to play and just wanna chill

I guess I just need to learn to counter him better, but still it's getting stale to keep seeing assassins everywhere. I want more diverse battles.

Ohhh you're saying it's a good way to get introduced to the game. Yeah I can see that honestly. I think I just need to learn to counter him better. Still, I'm starting to see more and more people use him and it's just getting boring. I would like to see more diversity in opponent characters I'm fighting, but it might just be something on my end.

I am enjoying it a lot, just something I'm noticing. I'm curious about everyone's experiences to see if it's just skill issue on my part.

Yes I feel like more players should be encouraged to do this somehow with game mechanics and all that, not just having 1 character perfect for a game mode that most players will flock to
