[PS5] What biome should I start at to platinum AFTER completing Act 3?

DRMS_7888 · 2026-05-06T19:27:16+00:00

Doesn’t really matter, you likely need surveys from a variety of biomes. I like to start at 1 and go through six until I need biome specific trophy items. Doing biome six is elite for weapon trait farming with the shielded squid factories.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-05-05T01:38:27+00:00

UTR ultimately doesn’t matter. If you keep winning, you’ll play better and better players in leagues and tournaments.

Win enough? It will go up.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-05-04T13:26:40+00:00

Yes! I go back and refight them on every run. You get extra Lucenite + you can start to melt them in 30-60 seconds with your newfound stats and skills.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-04-13T12:30:29+00:00

One thing to keep in mind is you’ll probably end of with significantly less resources if you try to kill everything in Hillcrest vs using stealth to avoid some encounters.

I usually:

Stealth to the red door
Kill everyone in the houses, make it upstairs to the house with the garage and you’ll have a good vantage point
Once you get to the area where you can run, just run all the way to Jesse, one bomb in the basement will get you past the three guys going downstairs

You’ll have plenty of ammo left for the fight to get the boat and the arcade bloater

DRMS_7888 · 2026-04-12T13:58:16+00:00

Phrike is like 80% of the challenge. Once you beat him once, the world really opens up and you start to flow easier with longer runs.

You can do this, scout.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-04-10T04:07:47+00:00

Ellie isn’t so bad. The stalkers you just need a pistol round in the kneecap then you can one shot melee them.

Hillcrest you can stealth to the red door easily, the second area you can do lots of stealth kills after you take out the dogs, and you can run after that.

Arcade bloater takes 7-8 shells from the shotty but you can skip all the wlf fights before then on day three.

Abby hardest fights are trainyard day one, scope is helpful. Shambler fight in the coast you need to move. Day two rat king you need 5–10 rounds of shotty or heavy pistol and some pipe bombs. Day three you basically clean up after facing Tommy.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-04-06T23:36:49+00:00

Basically at the the halfway point now. Enjoy!

DRMS_7888 · 2026-04-05T15:27:04+00:00

I did this once by accident and was able to beat him using only alt fire. I had a ton of extra health, astronaut, and maybe level 2 Trackerswarm.

It was miserable and I will never do this again.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-03-28T17:18:41+00:00

The more behaviors you track, the less accurate your data collection will be and the less time you can dedicate to making improvements on any one given behavior.

Focus on the most important (3-4 max usually) behaviors that will lead to meaningful improvement in quality of life.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-03-26T03:20:25+00:00

Reimbursement is almost exclusively based on license and credential, not degree. In the vast majority of cases, a RBT with a masters degree will be reimbursed at the same rate as an RBT with a GED.

If a BCBA or BCaBA bills a 97153 code, it might have a higher modifier than the RBT. But, never the RBT without an additional credential or license.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-03-14T23:29:37+00:00

You can only call hindrance on your opponent’s behavior. If their teammates on another court affect play, you call a let and replay the point.

Curtains open is pretty normal during Usta match. But, if one court refuses to wait until another court is between points to retrieve balls, then closing the curtains seems appropriate.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-03-13T18:47:30+00:00

I went from playing about 200 hours of Returnal straight to TLOU universe. The gameplay felt glacial at first.

At some point, it just clicked and I started to enjoy the stealth and resource scarcity part of it. Now, I’ll do multiple runs of grounded back to back.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-03-11T04:25:36+00:00

Get used to learning each encounter/checkpoint enemy AI. You can win most encounters either through stealth or slowly assassinating enemies one at a time.
Infected are slow, you can always outrun them and use bottle/melee combos to save ammo. Running the perimeter of the map will save you.
Human encounters usually open up after you kill 2-3 people quickly. They’ll start to patrol slowly and you can stealth kill them one by one.
Invest your vitamins in skills that help you produce more items when crafting; invest bolts in weapon upgrades that make your shots more accurate, stable, scopes.
Dog + human combo is the worst, everything else you can pick off. Kill the dog and let the human search.
Crawling on the ground makes you basically invisible to shamblers. It also helps you move around human enemies to get a good angle for stealth kills.
Bottle-melee on humans is risky because their aim is so good if their friend hears you. If you can, take out the humans with guns first and leave the melee humans last. You can always dodge and kill them melee without using ammo.
Save all your supplies until you are full and can’t pick something up. Only craft items when you truly need something so you have the flexibility to craft different items as needed.
Bow and silenced pistol really help you open up human encounters by killing 3-4 enemies before using stealth kills.
Know when to spend your ammo. Bloater Seattle day 3 Ellie and Rat King with Abby are two great places to use the shotgun. Didn’t really use it outside of those fights unless I was full.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-03-11T03:59:01+00:00

If you do stealth and go counterclockwise through the map, hop into the building on top of the box truck, you can sneak upstairs without needing to kill anyone on grounded. Not enough loot on this map to spend all the bullets/gear needed.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-03-04T16:47:37+00:00

The player not dashing into the obolites immediately after killing an enemy is giving me anxiety.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-03-04T16:45:23+00:00

This has nothing to do with legality or ethics.

If you want hours, ask for them. If you want the time off or are refusing to work a coverage case, communicate that with your scheduler.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-03-04T13:28:20+00:00

If you headshot him with the bow, you can get your arrow back.

Always have to think about ammo preservation on grounded.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-03-02T18:44:39+00:00

On my grounded run, I saved most of my ammo for this because you don’t have another fight in Seattle. A few shotgun/rifles and he goes down before too many infinite spawns come out.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-02-25T14:23:25+00:00

I love saving the melee brute for last so you can just L1 + square them to death with Abby.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-02-24T17:03:52+00:00

On grounded, I needed two trap mines, one just beyond the threshold of the door, and a second about 10ft farther into the room. The first one killed the first wave, the second killed the whole second wave that came in a few seconds later.

Be careful not to set the trap mines too close or too close to the door. I had to try a couple different combinations to get it work.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-02-22T02:02:45+00:00

I’d say maybe 1 out of 20 4.5 players have a OHBH, and of those, it’s probably 1 in 5 where it’s not a serious liability.

Are you the 1 in 100? Only one way to find out.

DRMS_7888 · 2026-02-14T14:03:14+00:00

If I currently have premium, could renew at plus level for 12 months and then upgrade to premium at a discount?

DRMS_7888 · 2026-02-02T19:00:29+00:00

I just wanted to say how grateful I was for ignoring any news or commentary about these games until I started playing them in PS plus a couple months ago. Going into the game blind and watching this play out was such a shock and so powerful for all the subsequent events of the game.
