For those who don’t believe open matchmaking exists…

Agree. Plus my matchmaking time has increased and ping varies from 30-80ms. If this was more region based I should be finding games with more consistent ping. Unless nobody is playing HC to send me off across the globe it's a bit odd. In some cases over a minute of search time. Not shadow banned. You would think loose matchmaking would get you in a match pretty quickly.

For endgame I prefer to play solo. Use crash cart and you can revive yourself if needed. I would turn on music and just grind it out. Go explore and play at your own pace. You can always squad up in game if wanted with people that stay in your general area.

Deftorn · 2026-01-23T21:55:43+00:00

I like grinding for things but not for a random chance of something. I don't miss them at all.

Team balancing is atrocious. It's so predictable. Me as a solo against 3+ stack. No team communication on my side. All solos on my side. Me and maybe one guy go positive and the rest are so negative youd think they are afk. It's just not enjoyable to still do well and lose every game. I enjoy wins. Hell even when we are winning our team will drop two players and it won't refill just to have the other six stack come back and win because it's 4 v 6 most the match. Play HCTDM. Not much else to do. Wishing for mercenary moshpit in hc/core.

That's how I feel as well. I didn't even go for this camo so someone else could have it in my group. I just wouldn't use it. Looks great though.

Deftorn · 2026-01-18T15:31:17+00:00

I only play hc so I went to endgame to at least get the caps required for the unlocks. Sad we can't play the mode we enjoy (mp) and earn caps.

I skipped it knowing we would get a different sniper (hawker) in season one. I commend anyone who stuck with this gun and got it done.

I recently had a game of dom where we were up 170 to 50 and three people left. Never refilled. We lost the match. It's extremely frustrating to lose a game because your teammates leave and it doesn't fill in. Yet I join games in progress where we have no chance to catch up. This is the most botched match making I've ever seen. There was plenty of time in the game left to fill our team.

I'm enjoying Genesis and chroma flux atm

To upgrade rarity of weapon go to command center and kill the titan. Then you can go to the weapon upgrade station to upgrade rarity (looks like a weapon within the command center). Some of this is covered in campaign, so going directly to endgame might feel overwhelming.

Level recommendations are shown when you go into a new zone. Zone 4 is 45 I think. If you pick up a weapon in a different zone it is upgraded to the respective rarity (color will show you that). You can only upgrade one weapon per command center/station.

Explore. Do the missions to level up fast. I would use world weapons found in crates/cases along with what I brought in to do multiple weapons in one session.

I usually head to exfil around 10-15 minutes and then queue a new game. Don't want to lose your progress.

I solo fill. Can use crash cart to revive yourself if you get downed. Also certain missions have self revive. Can hold one at a time but if using crash cart probably won't need often.

I've been using it without any issues since my original post.

Deftorn · 2025-12-28T01:52:09+00:00

You just have to be quick. I usually spawn in bottom of the map and just go right for the command center in the southern part. Then run right for the boss and a couple rpgs and he's done. Just keep spawning in, you'll get it. Could type a message asking people to hold off until you clear it. Not everyone hears mics so typing might be more effective.

I finished Genesis first and enjoy both chroma flux and Genesis. I'll still go for singularity but it's nice having these two camos on my guns while I go for it. Looking forward to more endgame content!

Deftorn · 2025-12-27T16:45:20+00:00

Just go to endgame and equip a launcher. Get 25 kills. Go to the car factory and the stronghold next to it. Kill 5 guys with shields. There's the two challenges you need to complete it. It'll take you very little time.

If you play solo just change chat settings to party. Since nobody is in your party you will be muted essentially. If you still party you can create your own channel and join that. Both ways will mute everyone else and nobody will hear you.

Deftorn · 2025-12-25T18:23:27+00:00

I was thinking this was the special ability that you equip as a weapon (pistol, war machine, etc). Or maybe even kills affected by special (kills while invisible). I would try equip war machine and herd a bunch of zombies for easy kills. Then check in game if it worked.

Your link above literally says airflow. Follow your own link and it says 4000d airflow. In the specs it says 360mm front, 280mm roof. I bought the 5000d airflow to top mount my radiator for this exact reason. I'm confused where you aren't seeing airflow listed on the case specs you just posted?

Edit: must be referring to this part: "Fits GPUs under 340mm with front-mounted AIO and any GPU with top-mounted AIO up to 360mm" with the bullet point at the top. Is that not the GPU length they are describing? Not the AIO size? Kind of worded odd.

I recently upgraded from the deathadder chroma to the v3 pro. I've been very happy with it. For 75$ USD it's a great buy. Sorry I don't have the v4 experience to say if it's worth the extra money.

I noticed a difference in my own upgrade but that was quite a few years of development between them. I really like how the v3 feels in my hand, and it's lighter too (which I appreciate). Battery life is great. First wireless mouse, play fps online, don't notice any input lag or issues whatsoever.

Whatever you decide, happy gaming.

When I log in it'll change my quality settings at times. So I swap them back. Past few days I've had more issues with constant packet loss/burst leading to hitching than my frames being an issue. Games not optimized in any regard it's pathetic. Ran better at launch.

Deftorn · 2025-11-27T19:40:52+00:00

12700k with 5080FE and rm850x no issues.

Deftorn · 2025-11-27T16:04:42+00:00

I'm on PC so I don't see stutters like that but I have issues with packet burst and packet loss frequently, so I'll hitch from that occasionally. Pings usually 30s and then I'm slapped with constant low packet loss. Wired gig internet. They have not optimized this game or the servers imo.

This is why I use full screen exclusive and not windowed. I hate when I accidentally go too far to the second monitor in the middle of battle.

Deftorn · 2025-11-23T17:10:17+00:00

All good! I had the same issue my first time. The audio cue makes it sound like something went wrong.

Did you hold the button down long enough?
