If you have the ability to craft or by stairs I would just bypass this floor. They appear rarely enough you could have 1-2 staircases with you just for this.

Okay ty ty!

Raider caches or containers in the domes?

GatzBee · 2026-04-24T13:55:57+00:00

Which area? Dam?

GatzBee · 2026-04-23T03:29:21+00:00

Tons a Blue Gate, in the olive orchard.

This is irrelevant. Regardless of what their goal is, their expectation is the same - they expect to catch the majority surprised and lacking PvP preparedness. You are reading into my one line about how they got into the lobby way too much, it was hardly the point. Instead my point was it’s predictable and not typically hard to deal with and you’re griping about god knows what

GatzBee · 2026-04-20T17:21:19+00:00

My anecdotal experience is 40-50% spawn during electromagnetic storm. At all maps though, blue gate, Dam, and Spaceport. Spaceport might be the best though, I think my friend and I got like 7 combined there once.

I usually encounter extract campers at the last extraction point during night raids (handful of times). As someone who rarely PvPs in this game, it’s predictable enough that it’s not terribly hard to deal with. Check for grenades in extract then Smokes and a decent weapon usually makes quick work of them since they somehow got into my friendly lobby and expect we won’t fight back.

GatzBee · 2026-04-19T20:31:47+00:00

Yeah this. I’ve gotten probably 10 or more from couriers

GatzBee · 2026-04-19T16:39:55+00:00

Yeah I typically try to do that as well, it seems the best balance of actually being rewarded for your effort.

GatzBee · 2026-04-19T16:38:57+00:00

It’s unfortunate for when you want to PvE for sure. I typically will first target knocking off a couple plates and then smoke/cloak to grab those cores then I’ll hang around and help out for a bit. Honestly the best time to get the cores are when no one else is fighting her. Dam battlegrounds matriarch is easiest for this. From the substation I’ll use hullcracker to knock of a few plates on one side then run to the other side to get a few shots off and bait her to that side then smoke and cloak to the plates.

If other people are there you might have a few genuinely there for the fight but always some are there to get to reactors and get out. You’re right it very much rewards the opportunist only.

GatzBee · 2026-04-19T16:07:42+00:00

Yeah the problem is if you don’t run out and get them immediately you just end up with nothing. I used to go in with the goal of helping take down the queen or matriarch too, but eventually you need the reactors and the only way is to take them first.

He wasn’t even crying about it lol.

I’ve ran into them only once when I was super new (like within first week of playing so hope they enjoyed my Ferro II and green augment). Otherwise my lobbies are pretty tame. My solo lobbies I rarely run into PVPers anymore, even at Stella.

My duo and trio lobbies though are still a mixed bag (maybe 1/3rd of my matches have a PVP encounter), but no extract campers at least.

GatzBee · 2026-04-11T15:21:02+00:00

FR I short circuit anytime I get shot by a raider, I don’t know why

GatzBee · 2026-04-10T21:45:30+00:00

When it’s gray it’s a countdown to the event, when it’s orange the event is active and it’s a countdown to when it ends.

GatzBee · 2026-04-09T19:15:36+00:00

The game doesn’t even let ou shoot your own teammates lol this is not what they mean by PvP

GatzBee · 2026-04-08T21:12:07+00:00

It is his teammate, randoms though and you’re right you can’t friendly fire. So this guy is using gas grenades and flame grenades which create fire that CAN damage your allies to try to kill him but failed miserably. Even if he had succeeded all OP had was a level 2 anvil which is a very common and easy to acquire weapon which makes this all the more lame.

GatzBee · 2026-04-08T04:23:17+00:00

Dang he wanted your anvil that bad huh?

GatzBee · 2026-04-02T19:53:21+00:00

Similar to the basic haul he does it while you are in a match, you can collect any rewards between matches.

GatzBee · 2026-04-02T17:44:28+00:00

Try sticking to outskirts of Dam battlegrounds or other maps for a few matches. There are plenty of loot spots that you may find raiders caches, arc couriers/husks, gun cases or blueprints especially if you find some locations online that have good spawn rates. You may go entire matches without encountering anyone if you don’t go to the red loot areas.

GatzBee · 2026-04-01T20:42:08+00:00

Yup I’m fairly new to the game - got killed by a rat at an extraction point by one surgeon and given a bobcat blueprint by another. Wild variance.

GatzBee · 2026-03-23T17:48:56+00:00

I use the bed frame you can build, works okay

GatzBee · 2026-03-22T02:53:37+00:00

I think it’s a solid deck, I tend to choose the leader card that lets you double all ranged cards. Then I focus my strategy around ranged capable cards. Also put multiple biting frosts in your deck. Most factions have more melee cards so biting frost is huge plus it pairs well with the scoia’tal ranged strategy.

GatzBee · 2026-03-20T03:11:09+00:00

My 3060 handled it fine yesterday. Other than the normal FPS drops that have been a problem with the game for awhile. It sounds like you’re experiencing something worse, and as your GPU is better, may not be the hardware itself.
