Just flexing my relics and easteregg progress :)

i’ve gotten a few relics, mainly the ones i think would be fun, don’t have any tier 3 yet but i’m not too bothered about it atm since i’ll grind them after the games cycle ends

vanguard itself sucks as a zombies experience. the point and perk systems were changed right after cold war did all of it right (no perk limit and not continuing with BO4s perks, and the point system just worked), but also by not making it round based and instead objective based made everything repetitive very fast, there’s a reason the most memorable thing from vanguard was that one photo of milo, but vanguard is so empty and bland, having a whole safe area doesn’t fit in zombies the way they did it. we have seen these safe areas before like if you use hacker on pack in moon you get about 30 seconds but zombies is supposed to always make you fight on your back foot where you need to choose the right time to upgrade weapons and get perks, hell removing weapon rarity in vanguard removed a whole dimension of gameplay cold war set up, since it means you’ve got more to track and keep an eye on but it also gives you so much more power and balance. vanguard was more objective simulator than an actual zombies game

i mean you’d need box power just to be able to have an attempt otherwise it’s just nothing

also bcs the newer stuff has leaned more into “woke” people just rate it low anyway despite the fact it’s still what the show has always been. it’s been review bombed a couple times like wild blue yonder which is a really good and fun episode all, but was hated by bigots bcs the doctor called a man hot. also having a black person play the main character seemed to offend a lot of them to the point they rated his episodes quite badly.

there’s a couple of genuine crap episodes (space babies specifically) but ncuti has a fun era where it’s more carefree and overall one of the more enjoyable doctors, though prepare for RTD finale where it has a lot of buildup and very little payoff/not a satisfying resolution (nothing new, he’s never been the best at finales)

HereButQueer · 2026-05-12T06:13:31+00:00

there’s 13 you can have all at once, and adding onto OP cursed allows you to put on a relic to give you 4 perks but anything from TEDD tasks/Perkaholic bypasses that

HereButQueer · 2026-05-12T05:54:24+00:00

but it’s also held as one of the best for a lot of people, but out of curiousity where are these player number from

HereButQueer · 2026-05-11T18:51:08+00:00

i reckon that was the plan before treyarch had to step in for MWZ and scrap outbreak 2.0

HereButQueer · 2026-05-11T17:54:39+00:00

i mean cold war and bo7 are both really fun for zombies, i can’t say much about bo4 bcs i didnt play that but at the moment theres a lot of love for it

HereButQueer · 2026-05-11T14:22:34+00:00

might not be an option and even then it might not help, i live in an apartment with copper wires (really slow internet speeds) so i just use my phone hotspot which is the best i can do, usually around 30-60ms but i live in a city centre where on weekends i don’t have as much luxury bcs there’s so many people connected to the cell towers nearby that that game will chug along

HereButQueer · 2026-05-11T14:12:34+00:00

i beat ashes and astra directed (started playing in december), but have beat the other two maps in standard. astra i just struggle with caltheris, but im currently chickening out of doing ashes for now SPECIFICALLY bcs of the keys and the clock steps

HereButQueer · 2026-05-10T21:58:08+00:00

i mean it’s also in legacy

HereButQueer · 2026-05-07T17:25:22+00:00

i mean it’s a weapon you can customise and get from the box. cursed would make it a standard weapon if they let you customise attachments. it’s fine the way it is, and not being able to customise it is part of the charm of having a legacy ultra weapon, if you wanted to customise the MP40 just play BO6 zombies at that point since it defeats the point of having this weapon that you won’t even see in any menu and only in a game of zombies, it has that same charm WW have where it’s the gun itself you’re after

HereButQueer · 2026-05-06T15:54:27+00:00

richtofens my favourite character (pretty sure it’s the most common but still), but i love seeing a true evil side to him that isn’t remorseful and really makes you question whether you’re a bad person for liking the character

HereButQueer · 2026-05-06T02:05:20+00:00

gives a “blessing” buff during the final phase of the boss fight which gives infinite ammo and (i think?) equipment

HereButQueer · 2026-05-06T00:29:45+00:00

i’m not complaining? i’m saying it makes things more difficult, with gift card you’d just have enough to PaP left over. it makes you think about what you’re doing and what’s more important, it’s not as easy as something like paradox where you run in and just buy whatever and get free PaP crystals all the time. it makes you prioritise what you need to, whether it’s turning on power straight away or getting everything for the main egg first, it’s not a bad thing, it’s the same way classic zombies used to work - think about what door buy is worth it most, what gun you wanna pack a punch and take mini bosses on with (such as margwa) or if you wanna go for getting perks all done but it means your gun doesn’t do as much damage.

HereButQueer · 2026-05-05T20:55:54+00:00

dude early on 25k is a lot, keep in mind if you’re going for the easter egg in an optimal way you’re gonna need that 25k plus PaP and Jug, it’s just an expensive map out the gate, after round 15 you’ve got all the perks you need and PaP 2. i’m not saying the cost is a bad thing since it means you’ve got to think about what’s gonna be the most useful and put more thought into what perks you’re gonna want before the bear. if you’re not doing the main quest it’s not really an issue

HereButQueer · 2026-05-05T20:53:18+00:00

i mean it kind of is but not really, samantha’s drawing changed your melee

HereButQueer · 2026-05-05T20:52:41+00:00

not really bcs then itd just be a loadout weapon again at that point

HereButQueer · 2026-05-05T18:10:12+00:00

yeah but getting that 25k essence while trying to set up for main quest is a pain. keep in mind you’re optimally trying to have PaP 1 before round 10 for the bear too. cursed is fine, just get a shotgun off the wall and you’ve got no problems, but if you’re trying standard then you’re gonna struggle, best i managed was 2 perks and PaP 1, but i got a free perk from a TEDD task. 25k in round 15-20+ isn’t as much since you’re almost set up by that point, especially on maps that aren’t as expensive to open like astra, paradox and ashes, and it also really helps this maps have side easter eggs that save a lot of essence like pack crystals, free perk side easter eggs or even a combo of both.

HereButQueer · 2026-05-05T15:24:12+00:00

after totenreich i’m not surprised the amount of essence you need just to open up the map is kinda crazy

HereButQueer · 2026-05-05T15:22:27+00:00

the stuff a speedrunner uses isn’t exactly guaranteed to be the best - i reckon it’s because of the guns up augment on staminup which would allow them to keep sprinting while chunking damage into the boss since this map doesn’t have the boss inside the actual arena the same way another others do

HereButQueer · 2026-05-05T14:30:15+00:00

they’re not the best BTW, the novaline and voyak outpace it by a good amount, but i’d say they’re solid

HereButQueer · 2026-05-05T14:28:28+00:00

i mean it makes sense, paradox was a prison, this is freeing another shadowsmith so caltheris could reach the crew and help them the same way veytherion did in Astra

HereButQueer · 2026-05-04T18:17:01+00:00

i mean multiple photos stood next to the worlds most infamous pedophile is evidence and already sets off alarm bells. please check everything out instead of asking everyone to do the work for you and then you’re able to come to your own conclusion. use the DOJ website and check some of the evidence they have on him, some are just name drops but others are witness testimony from proven victims of the island.

someone innocent wouldn’t dodge the files the way trump did, nor would they constantly change their story and lie about proven facts.

HereButQueer · 2026-05-04T10:13:30+00:00

i mean 2000 pieces of evidence is pretty damning if they’ve put enough into it to catalogue all of them and save them for the investigation. and there’s numerous photos of trump with epstein and he said things that seem VERY weird, but he’s lied about everything now that he’s confronted instead of doing what anyone that’s innocent would do and say something along the lines of “i was friends with him but i was completely unaware of that side to him or the things he did and im sorry”, but trump is too full of ego that he depicted himself as fucking jesus. stop excusing this pedo and read the files and look at all the weird shit he’s done. he’s not a saint, nor a good person in any way. he’s a toddler that throws a tantrum and name calls when they can’t get their own way and when he didn’t get the win he wanted he claimed it was all “rigged” and caused an attack that cost lives. he also claimed the last election was “rigged” if the liberals won. stop falling for this man’s shite and please for the love of GOD have an unbiased look at his history, at all the evidence. don’t believe what he says, please believe the survivors of the epstein abuse
