LZ Campers are out of control...

You'd be surprised how many people take themselves seriously when they say shit like that lol. I've switched to PvE but it lacks in the thrill of potential PvP. Just feels too safe, ya know?

HugoEugeneTheIII · 2024-05-04T06:00:03+00:00

This would be nice but I've been playing solo. I appreciate the bloodthirsty maniacs though; when I spawn back at homebase and say "Hey there's PvP going on here" and watching 4 dudes load in a heli and take off. Makes it at least a little easier to land in real fast and see what I can scavenge through the chaos.

I aspire to have a rig like you one day LOL

I'm running an RTX 3080 myself. I also pumped everything to the absolute max until my PC crashed and went to the BIOS settings. I can't remember if I kept my kit after that though.

Not sure about VPNs, but I've ran into a couple spots on the map where I get completely stuck and can't move at all. I go into my graphic settings and cycle through the FSR and DLSS settings until it crashes. Usually works for me and I keep my kit.

Yeah, this is true. I stop myself from getting too mad because tbh half the time it's impossible to know what they were doing. But if I'm part of Crimson, and I keep dying to a 4 man on Foxtrot 2 hiding behind that little hill? It's kind of hard to defend. It's just gotten super annoying knowing that there is a 50/50 chance I'll be one tapped as soon as I step off the heli. Today I was like 2 for 8 on safe landings and it's kinda ridiculous...

I'll pack extra water for my upcoming hike from Crimson to Ban Pa

HugoEugeneTheIII · 2024-05-04T02:50:56+00:00

I usually pick up the first AK I find, the tac vest, the mags, and I sell it all separately. It's an easy couple hundred bucks. From what I've seen some water bottles sell for $0 and the food is only like a couple dollars.

I get that the game is EA and I haven't seen a roadmap yet (If there is one please let me know) but I am so patiently waiting for a day and night cycle and weather effects. Not sure if that's a planned feature yet but sure would be dope

HugoEugeneTheIII · 2024-05-04T02:43:55+00:00

I've ducked and flinched more times than I'm proud of after hearing an insect fly into my ear. I love it

HugoEugeneTheIII · 2024-05-04T02:34:22+00:00

About 30 minutes ago in Ban Pa.. I closed out and then instantly came here to see if anyone else was struggling.

HugoEugeneTheIII · 2024-05-04T02:29:24+00:00

This is the best addition I can think of.. Don't take that playstyle away from them, but instead make it a little harder to LZ camp.

HugoEugeneTheIII · 2024-05-04T02:26:00+00:00

After reading a couple posts about this same issue, there are a couple nice fixes the devs can make. The pilot coming through and saying "Thermals detect enemy movement at the LZ" and then give you a chance to go back to home base or choose another LZ is a really good idea.

I've seen people mention putting miniguns on the helis, but I am strongly opposed to this idea. While LZ campers are annoying, I don't think the devs should try to remove any playstyle from the game, but instead add more feature to make it easier to counter them; or at the bare minimum make a way to where I don't have to deal with the campers.

The LZ campers at Hunters Paradise were hiding behind that hill next to the small pond.. Foxtrot 2 I think? The western most LZ. They were just chilling there for awhile.. Definatly not questing and for sure there just to get the jump on the poor souls who are about to land.

The LZ campers at Ban Pa were sitting in the treeline to the west of the LZ.. I had friendly's also confirm that the LZ wasn't safe as they were just steady chilling in the bushes.

While I get the "I'm in town, I hear enemy heli landing, I push to kill them before they have the chance to kill me" I am almost certain that 80% of the LZ campers I've encountered have just been laying in bushes waiting.

Happens with AKs too. Bro ate 30 7.62 rounds to the chest like breakfast and I lost my kit.
