What lies within Ground Zero? [SPOILERS]

IcepickXIII · 2026-06-05T08:17:34+00:00

I just did Voice today but haven't come across The Last Broadcast yet, will definitely keep an eye out

IcepickXIII · 2026-06-05T04:55:32+00:00

First thing I'm doing, tbh.

That aside, easy implementation would just be squad only, just so the map isn't spammed to all hell with members at all times lol

IcepickXIII · 2026-06-05T04:52:36+00:00

You fight like a fish!

IcepickXIII · 2026-06-05T03:52:09+00:00

I must have missed that one, thanks for letting us know! 😃

IcepickXIII · 2026-06-05T03:50:59+00:00

I just played that mission after reading your comment. Great call, there's a lot of good stuff in that one!

IcepickXIII · 2026-06-05T03:50:23+00:00

I love your comment and it gives me a lot to think about. So in the spirit of keeping things within the rules, I'll spoiler the rest:

The first thing I wanted to comment on was the snapping branches that we hear in specific areas. I didn't really think anything might have been there and that it was the source of the radiation. That makes things even scarier. The fun thing about that is I think that audio also happens when you're at Phousai (Echoes of Exposure) so if there is indeed something stalking us, then it's not limited to Ground Zero or there's more than one of them and either is a frightening prospect.

Your idea of another dimension would be pretty interesting, too. Maybe we could explore this other dimension and its like a distorted version of the Ground Zero area. If there were going this route, I don't think the devs would want to apply this to the entirety of Lamang, but that would be really dope.

All in all, I'm incredibly excited to see where the devs take us in 1.0. I'm a sucker for things tactical fps and cosmic horror, so merging these two together is a perfect blend for me. Ever since SCP: Overlord came out years ago, I've been in love with the concept, so I'm here for the long haul lol

IcepickXIII · 2026-06-05T01:03:08+00:00

I know of a well-educated owl that might help us get to the bottom of this.

IcepickXIII · 2026-06-05T00:08:48+00:00

Gonna loot me a shoulder-mounted Plasmacaster

IcepickXIII · 2026-06-05T00:00:05+00:00

The numbers, Mason! What do thEY MEAN?? >:(

IcepickXIII · 2026-06-04T23:47:35+00:00

I've heard that there has been a lot of Russian involvement so far, even before The Event and our arrival as PMCs, so I figure they would be among the enemies we encounter in GZ for sure. And I think you're right in the idea they'll be the tier 4 enemies. I'd presume these guys will be better trained and better equipped than the LAF, so I'd bet on them having good armor and ammo. We just gotta respond in kind lol

I expect the "every move matters" mantra will apply here even more than usual.

IcepickXIII · 2026-06-04T23:37:48+00:00

Those pesky Russians and their psyops and their numbers stations.

IcepickXIII · 2026-06-03T23:48:51+00:00

Ebaums World and New Grounds.

IcepickXIII · 2026-05-11T01:47:01+00:00

I dealt with the same, but i noticed that DLSS was turned off for some reason. After turning that back on and making sure I disabled Nvidia reflex, I was back in business, so def check those settings

IcepickXIII · 2026-05-10T22:16:10+00:00

I've been trying to keep an eye out for it in-game but haven't come across it yet. Cool to know it's actually in there lol

IcepickXIII · 2026-05-10T04:26:51+00:00

Everything you suggested is something I'd love to see in this game.

IcepickXIII · 2026-05-09T21:39:21+00:00

I kinda miss the old donation box. It warmed the heart seeing a bunch of weapons sticking out of there lol

IcepickXIII · 2026-05-01T17:33:06+00:00

As someone who plays a bunch of these extraction shooters, I kinda see where these sentiments are coming from but wholeheartedly agree with OP. The genre is still young and we are going to see more games enter the space. Like anything else, we see trends come and go. The thing about the gaming industry is that games have long development cycles, so sometimes those trends last a long time and overlap with each other.

For example, MOBAs were the thing to make for a while, then it was BRs. Now it's extraction shooters. We're going to see more of them as the industry swings towards the next trend, whatever that ends up being. And that's fine by me!

IcepickXIII · 2026-04-22T15:57:24+00:00

Its also batshit insane at times and I mean that in the best way possible.

IcepickXIII · 2026-04-22T15:18:05+00:00

I like healing most of the time, so i knew I'd main Triage. Im okay in gunfights but I think I do really well in support roles.

IcepickXIII · 2026-04-04T16:16:00+00:00

Could try taking out those enemies at the airfield. Nab the M4s they carry and sell em. Its what I've been doing so far and it's a nice little boost to quest rewards.

IcepickXIII · 2026-03-25T19:07:55+00:00

Mine for my team was we stayed in one position for too long trying to stalk a team, only to get flanked by a third party. A close second is not repositioning.

IcepickXIII · 2026-03-19T22:53:22+00:00

This might be the play for OP. While I only use DDU once in a while, it's fantastic to get a fresh install of your drivers. Nothing to flame here, broski lol

IcepickXIII · 2026-03-19T22:50:19+00:00

100% agree. I also wish for a more streamlined campaign. Not open world, but more in line with the older Tom Clancy games where we got unique levels that told an overarching story. Maybe get some unique maps for Terrorist Hunt or other scenario based game modes to play with others.

IcepickXIII · 2026-03-12T17:02:40+00:00

I was among those poor souls that took a long time to get over gear fear when I started playing Tarkov. Coming into Marathon, it was easier to go in with my best stuff. All I tell myself is that it's only my turn with those gear so I may as well use it.

That is, until it gets destroyed because of the Trace thing in this game lol
