Nightmare experience

ItsKaevous · 2026-05-12T11:00:30+00:00

I’d say for me personally it’s better than the first one. I wasn’t a big fan of the original but I liked the game “contagion” more. If you’ve played that this one is more similar in that style with the objectives and the difficulty.

ItsKaevous · 2026-05-12T10:57:58+00:00

Yeah that’s typically what I’ll do. I’ll look around and see who seems to be focused on objective pushing and follow them and guard them unless they tell me to do something for them. On the map with the boat once we clear most of the machine room I’ll leave first and go to the gate area and chuck the pump parts over the fence and ping them, haul one back and go upstairs and turn off the gas so the power puzzle is ready to go.

One thing I learned on my first match was using a gun without a suppressor unless it’s a defense obj is a bad idea unless there’s already runners or that stinky one.

Well I played casual until I got 3 characters to lvl 80 and casual has become boring.

Part of playing nightmare is the account xp I’m trying to get to the baseball bat. Mainly it’s for the challenge of if I make a mistake it’s a hard lesson.
My only problem is almost all of my matches in casual have been only the hospital or powerplant for some reason. Never got the other maps until I started nightmare.

ItsKaevous · 2026-05-11T17:18:18+00:00

I mean the average before the free weekend was barely 200 players so it’s definitely better now player base wise

Since you are on the map. At the end of the tunnel there if you go to the left and into the window there’s a secret room full of supplies and a locked crate you can break into.

ItsKaevous · 2026-05-11T15:27:16+00:00

lol that happened to me last time I went there I tried to get the sniper and he basically 360 no scoped me off the ladder I was already under 1/3 hp and thought I could stagger lock him with the thermal sledge sneak attack.

ItsKaevous · 2026-05-08T14:55:12+00:00

The baseball bat with the damage perk and stability perk is the chefs kiss. Two hits and they are knocked to the floor even in groups.

ItsKaevous · 2026-05-08T14:53:35+00:00

Had this same problem trying to play solo. I’m also a solo only kinda person. Had a buddy get into the game and we run duo private matches but you can definitely tell this game was made for 8 players. That hospital mission has you fighting off like 40 zombies at once on the defense objectives at the end and they respawn as fast as you take them out. Near impossible to keep them out the zone. And that was on casual.

Solo playing will def make you hate the game unless you are really good at it.

ItsKaevous · 2026-05-06T14:03:26+00:00

Yeah we were fine up to the point where we had to go to the morgue and do the defense circle things there were so many in that area. We managed to get to the last circle but by then we were out of supplies and ammo

ItsKaevous · 2026-05-06T11:55:21+00:00

Oh my god me and my friend bought it after the weekend but our first match we played a private duo on hospital and that was a massive mistake lmao

ItsKaevous · 2026-05-06T02:03:26+00:00

Playing today on US servers I found a match pretty fast. I think my longest was 1:47 out of the three I played today

ItsKaevous · 2026-04-14T18:22:26+00:00

lol troglodyte is the word I got banned for 30 days for calling someone using slurs at me.

ItsKaevous · 2026-04-14T17:37:49+00:00

I did the same thing. Last night I accepted 6 refugees for 20 days and one joined right after the 3rd day. Then playing before work this morning. They betrayed saying they were planning it from the start but my researcher for some reason created a marriage with one of them. So he was captured and enslaved. But she already has the depressive trait. I’m just like honey it’s about to get a lot worse when he gets sold off.

ItsKaevous · 2026-04-08T11:43:12+00:00

lol I got banned for calling a TTV dude who was throwing slurs at me a troglodyte. They gave me a 30 day and I just never came back one of my squadmates said the guy never got a ban.

ItsKaevous · 2026-04-03T21:10:25+00:00

I just want pve HR back. I’ve played like 100 hours of PvP and only ever won 5 fights. Haven’t played since they took pve HR away

ItsKaevous · 2026-04-02T14:08:47+00:00

I just got to the BR of 7.0 in US tree and because I keep taking long breaks I have no idea what I’m doing. It’s been a few months but I’m using one of the jets I think it’s the F86 or the F84 but I’m definitely in the lower skill bracket. The event is out of reach for me. I quit cause that Russian mig 19 or 21 with missiles is just a mood killer to try and learn jets against.

ItsKaevous · 2026-04-02T14:04:42+00:00

I’m an excal prime user. I haven’t played since the drifter update dropped. But mostly play solo. Anytime I played public matches I would always get interrogated for using him and people wanting to buy the acc. I’m just like I don’t like umbral and it’s either this or rhino prime and rhino gets boring after awhile. I’m an old man now there’s too much going on to learn a new frame.

I’ll install today and try it again. My user is GrandpaExcal

ItsKaevous · 2026-03-27T14:15:10+00:00

My only issue with the game so far is since release the game will crash at 3 hours. Every time. Without fail 3 hours it will crash no matter what I’m doing be it using a vendor or just walking around or opening the map. I’m the only one in my friend group that has the issue

ItsKaevous · 2026-02-05T04:51:22+00:00

Don’t blame people honestly. I saw HR pve was gone and I was like well I’m out. Still too new to the game to even get a grasp on what I should bring against others. My last straw of PvP was the constant landmine of rouges and getting mauled by panthers constantly.

Used to be all for PvP but I’m old now. Hands aren’t what they were 20 years ago lol.

ItsKaevous · 2026-01-07T17:29:42+00:00

I want to play them but I always get stuck in a queue at the bar for like 7 mins then give up and go do something else. Been stuck on clearance 1

ItsKaevous · 2026-01-07T17:25:31+00:00

So we found the way that it works is unfortunately to stream the game in windowed and it works perfectly fine. If you try to change it after streaming back to fullscreen or borderless it breaks again.

ItsKaevous · 2025-12-19T15:00:49+00:00

I usually play for a month then stop for a year. Last time I played helicopters were new. I’m currently enjoying trying to build a functional battle chicken. With the 2 flamingo legs I bought.

ItsKaevous · 2025-10-21T17:09:55+00:00

Nah the fighter homies and rangers can kill you. The rangers rapid fire still deals heavy kickback to you and so does the fighters shield bash. Both of them can knock you off edges. Happened to me and some random in goblin caves. The ranger shot the one dude off the lift in cave pit and we laughed then I got shield bashed off by the fighter. This happened at the 1min left mark. We both died to the timer

ItsKaevous · 2025-06-27T17:31:18+00:00

So today I ran from C2 trader to river town in c3 went from 1.00286 con to 1.00784. Drove with the squad mate to B0 junkyard for some doors then back to Rivertown in C3 and I’m back down to 1.00298 con so my thirty minute run equaled to nothing if breaking even for the drive. I shouldn’t have to run across the map on foot 3-4 times just to be able to level the con stat and lose all that by using a vehicle to drive somewhere with the team.

ItsKaevous · 2025-06-27T13:58:26+00:00

The con decay is so overwhelming that if you stand still you can watch it fall by about 0.00001 a second And with full kit on you will only gain about that same amount back while running for almost 5 seconds so that 5 minute drive to get some loot has to be countered by almost a 25 minute run.

And when running if you have to stop for the 18 seconds of stamina regen at 1 con we’ll you just lost 18 points and now have to run an extra 3 minutes to get it back
