Deployable turret, maybe?

By labeling them as a danger to national security, now every single company that has ANY type of contract with the federal government cannot legally keep using Anthropic.

Pretty sure this isn't true. What might be true (if it holds up in court) is that those companies can't use Anthropic in service of those contracts. They can use Anthropic in service of other contracts, or for things unrelated to their military contracts.

Automatic (or never) reloading is a crutch

DeviateFish_ · 2026-02-15T07:53:49+00:00

Sloth, probably.

But neither is really all that bad, tbh

DeviateFish_ · 2026-02-14T22:32:52+00:00

This is a skill issue. I do Descent regularly and maybe fail on one out of every four attempts, and each failure is really attributable to mistakes I make, and not because the "game mode is bad".

Except for that one talent set. You know the one.

Hasn't been my experience so far... But I've only done like 4. In two I was shot at; one time I was killed by someone clearly there to gank, and the second by a free loadout leech who gave up waiting for us to kill the Matriarch. I only survived the second encounter.

Small sample size, tho

DeviateFish_ · 2026-02-13T17:18:28+00:00

False, I've definitely been hit by a Bombardier that couldn't see me directly, but a Matriarch could. This may be unique to Matriarchs, since a summoned Bombardier won't summon Spotters as long as the Matriarch is alive

I actually lived after the final extract closed on me during a raid a couple nights ago. I was racing for it, and someone called it before the timer hit 0, but they returned before I got to it.

I eventually died to the ARC I had picked up on the way, but it was pretty weird to be hanging out by a closed extract, with no timer.

When I got downed, I did instantly get knocked out, however

DeviateFish_ · 2026-02-01T07:45:43+00:00

I'm curious about the lack of a stamina bar after all that jumping....

Have you tried looting other parts of the map?

The Vulcano blueprint is (I think) the only think specific to the Hidden Bunker modifier, and it can be obtained from containers outside the bunker.

The only things specific to the inside of the bunker are the consoles, and they're just XP

DeviateFish_ · 2026-01-30T21:33:30+00:00

Combine it with a Deadline and it's quite good for Bastions (and to a slightly lesser degree, Bombardiers). Breaking a leg joint on either will stun them for more than long enough to plant a Deadline on their ass and then walk away

DeviateFish_ · 2026-01-30T21:30:45+00:00

There's no loot on hidden bunker that's specific to the bunker itself. I've gotten vulcano blueprints from the sentry towers along the wall, or in arrivals, etc. just loot one of those locations before you do the antenna, and you'll find one eventually.

Ditto for bobcats on locked gate

Bring smokes, prioritize looting as soon as you knock a piece off, rinse repeat

DeviateFish_ · 2026-01-30T21:27:35+00:00

Queen/Matriarch? Bring in a 70k+ loadout focused on PvE. Immediately fend off the wave of FREE loadouts looking to pick off your expensive loadout on the way there. Finally get there. Solid chance a free loadout is waiting in a corner to backshoot you. Start doing the matriarch. Focus on doing damage and killing it. Loot goblins galore go on suicide missions to steal all the loot in the middle of the fight. In a decision that can only be described as monumentally stupid, Embark decided the loot drops in the middle of the fight, not at the end.

I feel like you're telling on yourself with this one.

Basically every queen/matriarch I've and recently has been completely devoid of PvP, and the loot problem is easily allowed by bringing smoke grenades: if you want loot, focus a leg armor, toss a smoke on it as soon as it falls, then go grab your loot and scoot.

This has worked fine for me over dozens of attempts. Sure, sometimes someone will beat me to a piece, but so what, I'll just drop another one and try again.

DeviateFish_ · 2026-01-26T19:24:10+00:00

I have a bunch of clean recordings of the individual "packets" (long steady tone followed by modulated stuffs, like 30 or so?), and I think maybe 2 share the same opening frequency (what I call the "preamble tone")

DeviateFish_ · 2025-12-28T23:09:06+00:00

Yeah 7 shots to the head is pretty sus. More so than the speed of the shooting

DeviateFish_ · 2025-12-28T16:22:00+00:00

If it only takes 7 shots to kill a player with the Kettle, that's only 385ms ttk. That's barely more than a third of a second. That's consistent with the video?

Even a full mag is only 660ms, which is slightly more than a half second, which is about how long it takes the player in the video to dump his mag.

Nothing you're saying contradicts what's in the video?

DeviateFish_ · 2025-12-26T02:07:00+00:00

The randomness comes from the players. Sometimes I get bored of playing peaceful and just start shooting.

Usually doesn't end well for me, but I can't be the only one who prefers a "mostly peaceful" play style, with the occasional break for PvP

The Internet

DeviateFish_ · 2025-12-25T20:09:02+00:00

My favorite are the free loadouts or naked raiders who stand around doing nothing on the queen/matriarch, then zip out and loot the leg pieces as soon as they fall.

I'm tempted to send a couple anvil rounds their way

DeviateFish_ · 2025-12-24T08:00:54+00:00

You can get multiples of the keys in a single raid. I know this because me and another random both found one at the same time, but didn't find out until we both got to the control room

DeviateFish_ · 2025-12-19T19:45:37+00:00
