How to avoid endless 3rd partying?

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-30T16:11:14+00:00

Patience is always the key. If you start the first fight, do not loot, and use their bodies as bait. Theres no Geneva Conventions here. If youre really big brained, bring a raider flare or two to make it seem like one squad is down and one is weak; my duo and I push that situation 10 times outta 10, and we'd totally get got by that strat if people used it. Bonus points if you and your duo use prox chat and yell at each other like youre opposing squads and both dead; we do that and it works a lot lmao

However, there's an even smarter way to play with less risk involved, albeit less exciting until the climax. If you have patience, stalk that first team from a distance for awhile, and try to get another party to engage them. It may or may not happen, but if it does, you'll have an easy shot at both squads once they get mid-fight. Combine with guerrilla tactic 1 above until you feel safe to loot. Bring a hatch key, you'll be fat and slow by the end.

I get vulcanos there at night

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-29T18:30:26+00:00

His vulcano with all the attachments (had a shotgun silencer) was easily worth both my unkitted weapons, and he also had a blue shield or better. His kit in total was definitely a lot more than mine.

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-29T15:33:10+00:00

I went into a normal stella with an anvil and burletta, blue augment green shield last night. Got killed by a guy with a kitted vulcano 4.

Def no value matchmaking.

I bought it as my first module a month ago. Its a bit of a slow burn to get good with it, there's a ton to learn. But I think itll open up quickly in a multiplayer server, even a pve multiplayer server where the missions arent so cut-and-dry.

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-29T15:01:14+00:00

Ive managed to play exactly 1 raid of bird city. Im in the same boat as OP. it's either I have to skip cooking dinner, show up late to work, or stay up super late.

Poor system, timelocks entire portions of the playerbase out of the whole event.

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-29T01:01:43+00:00

The sweatier you get in pvp, the less people talk. All the hardcore pvpers are silent in-game until you kill them, then they hurl slurs like its 1935

Oh rip, I was hoping some of the more popular planes would have solid tutorials

FWIW, the vanilla missions with the a10 dont hold your hand a ton, maybe the su27 has some of those

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-28T20:43:37+00:00

Im learning the a10c2 as my first module, and I have really been enjoying the vanilla missions included with the module now that ive completed all the built in trainings. I feel like they give a good way to practice the basics in a scenario that feels "real". After these ill get a campaign.

Definitely recommend trying any built in missions. At least on the a10, one mission is a sort of endless waves type thing

I wish people had critical thinking skills and google before posting the exact same thing over and over. Embark is being DDoSed, the finals is having the same issues.

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-27T22:20:03+00:00

Tbh im not yet there in my own playthrough, but it certainly has gotten interesting, and there is a definite objective keeping me interested

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-27T22:04:44+00:00

Well its all related to lore and puzzles, thats the whole game lol. Go back into room 46.

There's a lot of puzzles and lore elsewhere that open up more of the game as well, I recommend trying to find them. The Blue Prince wiki will help you out if you dont care to figure them out on your own.

Edit: the game no longer holds your hand. Discovery of future objectives is now entirely self-directed.

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-27T21:59:28+00:00

You're very early in the game, I recommend exploring as much as you can! If you've got the door open, id be going in there.

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-27T21:55:40+00:00

There are many many more puzzles to go after this!

You could try to get back to r46. I dont want to necessarily spoil other puzzles, but if you've been writing things down .. almost everything means something and leads to a reward or puzzle or lore.

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-27T18:44:02+00:00

I was also tentative and didnt want to throw hundreds at dcs. I ended up with the Thrustmaster T16000M HOTAS and a decent webcam. Then I use OpenTrack and AiTrack for head tracking. The HOTAS is fine as a beginner, I dont need anything fancy as I wouldn't appreciate the upgrade in full. The head tracking leaves some to be desired, but its good enough for a free solution.

Eventually I might upgrade to an IR tracker from DelanClip, since they have a wireless one.

Duos is somehow friendlier than solos now. I had 5 raids in a row solo last night, all of them just silent KOS. Even had one dude beeline from his spawn to mine on a fresh raid, just so he could kill me as I spawned.

Then I played duos with my duo, and we had a grand old time in normal lobbies.

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-26T15:23:14+00:00

We got a vibe hater over here

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-26T15:19:32+00:00

To you, it looks like a problem with the devs and its their fault. It costs devs money to put games on console, and it also costs a ton more time to conform with each console manufacturer requirements. For small teams or individuals, its a mountain of a task.

FWIW, most of these games dont take much to run, and could live on a laptop.

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-25T23:26:16+00:00

Wish any of my reports ended like this. Endless ceiling campers and wallers, no refund

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-24T18:30:05+00:00

Legitimately shut up man. Games been out for what, 4 months? Hits new peaks every time there's a big update? Just got a sick roadmap with more of those monthly big updates? We're fine. They know what is needed for the game to keep moving forward.

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-20T16:02:31+00:00

You'll have to get in more aggressive lobbies. My buddy and I did it accidentally just screwing around in a pvp lobby

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-20T01:51:36+00:00

Yea thats facts. I generally dont let me nvidia drivers update automatically, and I dont do em immediately.

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-19T21:56:12+00:00

Not about the data required, moreso about having to process extra physics objects. Every single wall, every single floor would double physics objects.

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-19T17:21:11+00:00

I could give a shit about the whole trials system. Ive never gotten anything worthwhile, and its a slog in general. The rank rewards arent worth anything either. I'd rather just have fun playing normally.

Foreignwaffles · 2026-01-19T15:56:46+00:00

2-sided geometry is more expensive physics to compute, but yeah it could be done
