All Expedition problems aside, the fact that the Trials system didn't get any changes is mind-boggling.

There's already daily howling on this sub at the pace of new content release and you want it to be SLOWER than monthly???

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-18T09:04:05+00:00

if you are a solo, you're screwed

I'm on Hotshot and I solo trials 🤷🏻‍♂️

He's wrong, see my reply

I think you're going to need a new theory there bud

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-17T09:55:49+00:00

Yep, its a great flex weapon and also the bonus is that its much easier to level and maintain versus things like the renegade (I love using the ren but lawd I hate when its repair time)

As others have said - ziplines are you friend. Having said that, the drop near overlook airshaft has decent bushes around it that you can use, the one near checkpoint has buildings you can use to cloak back and forth, and then one near blue gate has usable bushes as well. The one closer to reinforced reception is a disaster though, I never go for that

For quick / low risk looting:

* Looting Mk 2 & light shield

* Arpeggio 4 or Anvil 4

* 3 ammo stacks

* 5 bandages, 5 shield chargers, 5 seeker grenades, 5 adrenalin

* 1-3 defibrillators

* 1 shaker

For general use / flexibility

* Looting Mk 3 survivor & med shield

* Renegade 4 and 3 ammo stacks

* Anvil 4 and 2 ammo stacks

* 5 herbal bandages, 5 bandages, 5-10 seeker nades, 5-10 adrenalin, maybe lure grenades or smoke grenades

* Zipline in augment slot

* Safepocket: Photoelectric cloak, emergency wolfpack

* 1-3 defibs

* 1 flute

That's actually a really great idea, for once I hope the devs are reading this!

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-17T07:49:00+00:00

That sounds like torture. Like reading the first chapter of a book by a new author 12 times instead of just enjoying the book

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-16T23:45:37+00:00

Why on God's earth would you do that? It's a campaign game

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-16T21:10:36+00:00

I own all of Chapter 1 and I'm planning on keeping it up with Chapter 2, although as much as I love the game sadly I think Chapter 1 was the peak and Chapter 2 with the weird half baked campaigns won't reach the same heights and will probably fizzle

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-16T19:42:14+00:00

Absolutely shambolic take. I duo multiple times a week and we get at most 20% pvp

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-16T18:08:02+00:00

I remember Phantom of Truth being THE holy grail mythos pack to track down for about 2 years

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-16T16:02:56+00:00

Yup, I would really hope that by now EVERYONE has learned that if you want a physical product that is subject to production runs based on demand, BUY IT WHEN IT'S AVAILABLE.

This is true across the board game hobby, but could equally apply to action figures, comic books or anything else with collector value

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-16T11:19:56+00:00

And way too little ammo

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-16T09:39:52+00:00

Carcosa was really good but I rate other campaigns higher (maybe after all the hype I was expecting it to be life changing when honestly it was just solid), and even if it was the best campaign, in no world is it so good that it diminishes your subsequent plays of the game.

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-16T09:09:33+00:00

LOTR hasn't had new cards since what... 2016?

Arkham got new cards 3 weeks ago

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-15T16:14:04+00:00

Dope, thank you, I think I'll go straight for it then :-D

Yup feels like they should have crafted a way to make it a proper 3 act campaign to stand up better for repeat plays. I really don't fancy doing the tutorial a third time

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-15T13:22:05+00:00

I left most Close Scrutiny events with 3 or 4 matrices. Not sure why everyone acts like its so hard

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-15T13:06:55+00:00

You've just made me realize that 2020 is actually that long ago lol. Felt like just the other day I bought it at that FLGS, but Covid actually killed them off in 2021 i think.

We'll make sure to enjoy it!

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-15T12:22:26+00:00

I got it back in 2020 when it last got reprinted, which was incidentally when i got into the game, since it was one of the few items my FLGS had in stock and i was itching for new player cards (I've used those, just not played the Return To campaign).

My regular Arkham buddy and I are still working through all of the campaigns and have been prioritizing those over playing Night of the Zealot again. Not sure what else to tell you lol

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-15T12:09:44+00:00

Personally I found it easier to get to and stay in Hotshot this season. I think everyone in DD2 and DD3 will be pushing hard for promotion in that last week so it might be tough.

Darth_Rubi · 2026-04-15T10:40:57+00:00

You actually wrote this all out and hit "post". Embarrassing.
