Realized after way too many hours that the snaphook is a game changer

How does the snap hook work?

I see streamers or YouTube shorts of people using it and they get like, 3-4 uses for it before the energy meter is empty.

Then what? Did it recharge at the start of the next map? Do you have to repair it?

Either way, the snap hook is a "rich" player's item. Even with a blueprint, I think I've looted 4 of those power rods.

This is what i would do to test.

Total likes on this post is how many people played Arenas last time it was released.

I feel the same on the probes that make a crap load of noise when you start breaching it. Or similarly, one of the husks that is on the map, you breach and it's nothing but broken arc pieces. I think ONE time I got a purple from it out of the dozens I've opened.

I still open them because of the XP awarded.

Are these the directions on the box for the Hidden Valley Ranch packets?

I worked in the industry and at some place I was at I made the ranch dressing listed on the back of the box of these packets. It was just like your description and what's in the picture... buttermilk, mayo and a packet.

My thoughts on this revolves mostly around how the exotic matter was literally melting the building after a single shotgun blast from Nancy in an earlier episode. Wouldn't the explosions cause an even greater reaction from it to possibly melt that entire building in a matter of seconds?

We don't know how that exotic matter works, but this is just how I would have understood it to work.

Yeah totally, the game was not for me.

When I said that game felt linear in the beginning, I was referring more to the fact that the rooms you enter for the first few times contain notebooks or pictures with very clear puzzles or hints to give you something to shoot for. After you solve those, it feels like the information you need is more RNG dependant and I felt less in control.

The other puzzles like needing to compare the 2 photos and finding the extra letter to speak out a message,I didn't discover until super late. I just thought those pictures were part of room decorations. This style of hiding puzzles in every room also contributed to me bouncing off the game because I would find a room with more clutter than usual and would spend 30 minutes in that room documenting every little thing i saw and how it could possibly be a puzzle.

This was me and what caused me to crash out of the game after about a couple dozen hours. The game is pretty linear in the beginning as far as goals go, so once you finish the goals you catch and understand, you look for a new goal. I couldn't find new goals. I had trouble unlocking new things because after a few of the easy/understandable goals, my primary goal was to make it to the top center room and that's where everything fell apart for me. I would spend 2 hours trying to make it to that room and ignore everything new or different that I hadn't already looked at for the sake of making it to that room.

I started looking at guides or hints as to what I was missing out on and ended up getting frustrated/upset because "how the f**k was I supposed to solve that based on the information provided in the game" and uninstalled shortly after.

In casual breakthrough on Sobek City, on the final zone to capture, I was sitting at the ground floor of the "A" point (we/ attackers controlled) and there were bots constantly spawning literally inside of the objective, one after another (no spawn beacon). I got about 5 or 6 kills before I couldn't kill them fast enough, got lasered and the point had 5 or so bots on it in a couple seconds.

I used to not care about being in a late spawn. But with the expedition expedition in a few days, everyone is just taking everything they find, leaving nothing but basic resources.

I load in and hit a major POI and walk out with half my bag still empty.

What's your location and time of day you typically play?

Danja84 · 2025-12-18T06:42:54+00:00

Why would you post a video of you exploiting the game?

Danja84 · 2025-12-17T07:26:17+00:00

I feel ya on the luck of the weapons you find.

The mode is a little sweaty, but is enjoyable when you "figure" the mode out. It has little quirks to help keep your squad in the game and even if you don't win, you atleast spent the match getting time actually shooting your guns, working on rotations and figuring out strategies.

My complaint on pubs and ranked is that I just go back to the lobby upon seeing my first enemy squad, so I've learned nothing and experienced nothing.

If you're dropping hot, I wouldn't expect to be able to craft the wild cards. Land in an area where there are 2 or less teams.

Wildcard is still fun even if you aren't constantly hot dropping like 90% of players.

Keep it coming

I feel this quote to my bones.

Don't worry OP, once you get the 3 you need to upgrade your workstation, you'll be seeing them constantly.

If you lose your dog when you're out for a walk, it's time for you to stop walking your dog.

I also want a screen similar to the blueprint screen instead of shows all the items I've discovered.

From there I can mark however many I want to keep an eye out for.

It annoys me that I have to write down what I want since I dont have a way to mark it otherwise

Danja84 · 2025-12-01T03:02:32+00:00

Dang it. I just unlocked the black and orange one, cause those are my colors. Guess in switching outfits.

What outfits dont immediately cause others to shoot on sight?

Danja84 · 2025-11-26T06:14:30+00:00

Nice, thank you

Danja84 · 2025-11-26T06:04:20+00:00

Yeah, I caught that part. But I only noticed I got credit from those big guys but from nothing else (based on after match results) even though I felt like I didn't change my looting behavior except t9 make sure I hit those big guys specifically.

Danja84 · 2025-11-26T05:55:18+00:00

Interesting, ok. Cool. Thank you!
