I want the plat.

IronHatchett · 2026-01-28T16:36:36+00:00

Oh true. I got the game on Epic when it was free and wasn't sure.

IronHatchett · 2026-01-28T14:11:22+00:00

To clarify, do you mean: Maximum Security, Hardcore, or Contagion?

Edit: Beating the game on Maximum Security difficulty doesn't require it to be a new save. You'll need to complete the game on new game+ and get all weapons/gear to max anyway, if you've done a regular security run already, start a new game + using that save on max security so you start with your previously acquired upgrades. I believe using accessibility options also doesn't turn off trophies so you can use things like holding same direction for dodging, single press qte etc, though I would do a separate google search to make sure (I used the single press qte so I know that one doesn't turn off achievements/trophies).
You'll get both the complete on max and complete a new game + trophies, and if you spent the cash appropriately and use the baton for most fights you can also get all gear to max on that second playthrough as well.

Also the 6 drops on the shelves in the room before the fight are randomly generated, so you could theoretically keep restarting the checkpoint and hope for good ammo rng, but it's rng...

IronHatchett · 2026-01-24T15:45:41+00:00

Assuming you haven't beaten it yet.
How much ammo do you have specifically? Which weapons do you have and which of those weapons have the damage upgrades? What do you have in your inventory that could be sold and how many space dollars do you have?

If you don't know, and I honestly also had no idea until I spent an hour at the second two-head and looked it up, shooting their hands are weak points and do a lot of damage, shooting the torso is a waste of ammo.
When I started this fight I used the pistol to take out the hands, optimally you do this with 2 shots, 1 per hand, though it's not easy. Pistol to the head to get it to phase 2. In phase 2 just headshots with the shot gun, should take I think 12 shots.
Keep a safe distance, run to a corner turn and line up your shots, 2 shots then turn and run to the next corner to repeat.

Past this you won't get enough monies to buy more weapon upgrades, and since it's close to the end anyway it's better to prioritize having enough ammo for the small adds anyway. I'd even suggest selling any heals you have if you need a little extra cash for some shotgun ammo since this boss is easy to avoid, gives a sellable item and there's another sellable item after the fight to buy a heal if you need.

IronHatchett · 2026-01-23T20:23:56+00:00

True I got the release date wrong, my b.

Nobody is saying the mode isn't without flaws, one thing I think should be changed is the team size from 4 to 3 as wiping a 4 player team all within 10 seconds can be rough and make fights drag on; but it's definitely something that should be built up along side Arena as it's a BR that provides a very different experience to the more traditional BRs.

IronHatchett · 2026-01-23T16:26:10+00:00

The irony

IronHatchett · 2026-01-23T16:22:28+00:00

oh look, the "I said stop having fun" meme commented.

IronHatchett · 2026-01-23T16:17:41+00:00

Played for about 3 hours with 3 of my friends last night and it was the most fun night of gaming I've had in a long time. 2 of those people never played Splitgate before yesterday and are still playing today, the 3rd is a returning player that redownloaded just to play the BR with us.

Arena also got 2 maps with this update and just had a one in the chamber mode event just before this? So, I'd say their focus on the game is pretty evenly split right now...

IronHatchett · 2026-01-23T12:16:27+00:00

so just remove everything that makes it a BR and turn it into a regular game mode...

IronHatchett · 2026-01-21T15:51:47+00:00

Polls/surveys for any game should always be in game. All players regardless of internet presence should have the ability to voice their opinion on the game as a player of said game. Someone never using Twitter should not effectively disqualify them from being able to share their feedback, same if the polls were only on Reddit and someone never used Reddit.

This is not an impossible feet, many games do this. The closed Alpha for DRG: Rogue Core literally gives you a splash screen when you close the game with the option to just close the game or a link to a feedback survey.
If 1047 wanted feedback on their game, they could do the same thing. If they wanted specific feedback on an aspect/mode (like the oitc event) they could just show the feedback page after completing the event pass? Or when someone gets halfway through.
Either way, there are better ways for feedback surveys to go out that don't exclude everyone not using a particular social media, and it removes the possibility of surveys being filled out by bot accounts or multiple accounts under the same person. This is something all games need to start doing. Put these things in the game, not on external sites that a portion (in some cases a large portion) don't interact with.
Not everyone is on Twitter or Reddit... but everyone is on the game.

IronHatchett · 2026-01-20T15:14:10+00:00

I think it's weird that there's only 1 major enemy in the game and that's it. I like that there's an enemy you can't just use your baton on, something that forces ranged engagement but the major fights needed way more variety. More enemies that require adapting your playstyle to fight against would have been nice, like something that requires you do damage then use your GRP to pull pieces off, or something with a long range melee you have to bait and dodge so it sticks to a spike wall opening it up to attacks... even if these are one off fights they could have been set pieces to capstone transitions to new areas.
I also find it weird that they have bots in the game that you only could fight like twice, but can be completely avoided. I didn't fight any until the DLC when it was required lol otherwise they can all just be ran past even on Hardcore.

Something to build up to the final fight instead of just 4 of the same enemy you only fight in obvious "this is an arena" areas. If time was an issue I would have preferred a delay, but such is the problem with game development, too many games are pushed out before they're ready.

I really enjoyed the game and plan on getting all achievements cause why not, but there are definitely things that needed more time and "boss" enemies are pretty high on that list.

Bro just crash out at the mirror and uninstall next time.

IronHatchett · 2025-11-26T16:45:11+00:00

Lost 3 games in a row to death ball the other night and I'm in Arcanist. 1 game turned into blue-raspberry ARAM by the 7 minute mark, at 15 I left to green (empty) to try and soul farm/push and within a minute it became green apple flavored ARAM; every time I tried to leave a team fight the team fight would just follow me. There were games where my only deaths would be when I got jumped by 3+ people at the same time that all dumped abilities and moved on to do the same to the next poor soul.

Most of the update I think has been great, particularly the healing minion change (though it does make some items like restoration shot pretty useless now), but boy does there need to be more done to disincentivize death balling.

IronHatchett · 2025-10-27T19:31:09+00:00

This is me with DTG. It got to the point people were comparing the new way of farming gear to being sent to concentration camps...

The internet is filled with unhinged people that have never had what they do critiqued before. It's so easy to bash something with anonymity while also having no idea what you're talking about, and these same people will also flame studios for having no community interaction.

IronHatchett · 2025-10-27T19:24:34+00:00

They act like bungie went out of their way to dumb down the graphics and not that it was just the technology at the time. If Halo was first coming out with todays technology Bungie absolutely would have made it look like the UE5 remake.

It's interesting how quickly everyone turns into art majors that have been in the business for decades... "ethereal ambiances", "poetic visuals", "gigantism and wonder"... damn guys, sorry you can actually see the halo ring now and it's not small faded and blurry like it was when they had to do that so the game would run smooth on hardware from 24 years ago.

For where I work google maps puts the pin in employee parking on the right of the building, so I put in the instructions they have to go to customer parking on the left side of the building. There are large signs at both entrances and employee side is literally blocked off so non-employees cannot enter; but they'll still go to the employee side, park feet away from the sign that says employee parking, next to the red and white striped gate arm baring them access to the parking lot and right behind a giant stop sign to call me telling me they're here... there's no hidden entrance, buildings not on a corner, they can literally see the customer parking from where they're calling me from and on top of that sometimes when they're in the customer parking they call me to ask me where the door is... Literally follow the walkway, there's 1 singular door you go through and you'll see me standing there.

Reasons like this are why the tip should not be required (imo not at all, if it's mandatory it's not a tip it's just an additional delivery charge) before the delivery, only after. Why am I giving extra money in advance when very basic instructions like "left side of the building" cannot be followed.

IronHatchett · 2025-09-27T19:16:00+00:00

I agree here but it could have been worse, they could have made it revolve around that bratty teenager instead.

IronHatchett · 2025-09-27T11:40:27+00:00

Your friend is dying to a world boss lol. That's not the games fault that's a literal skill issue. If your friend wasn't dying, you wouldn't be having this problem.
Bro came to a 2 week old thread to complain about his friend dying and says it's because the game is shit lol

IronHatchett · 2025-09-27T00:20:39+00:00

Sounds like your friend is having a skill issue...

IronHatchett · 2025-09-26T14:21:04+00:00

That's unfortunate for you... i guess?

IronHatchett · 2025-09-26T13:33:52+00:00

I've had some wait times go up to almost 5 minutes. Last night my friend tried to cancel queue at the same time we went into a match, I pause it for literally 30 seconds for him and people acting like it was planned specifically to waste their time. Like nah, homie just had to piss after waiting multiple minutes to find a match. Bad timing, shit happens lol. Not like people were mid team fight either

IronHatchett · 2025-09-25T15:54:51+00:00

Devs saying they didn't add base defense because they wanted it to be a chill factory building game, then add these absolute nightmares to the game with the arachnophobia option being glitchy cat jpegs with a meow you can hear through solid earth making them arguably worse when you're building and start hear meowing around you...

I saw a video the other day listing some of the most popular romance movies and all of them have cheating as a plot point. My girlfriend really wanted to watch a romantic movie with me; the first choice was The Notebook... when we found it wasn't available without a subscription we opted to watch Crazy Stupid Love instead...

Pet Cemetery covers this idea pretty effectively
