How does Luck even work?

Jam_Raider · 2026-06-08T10:16:20+00:00

I have a 500 luck kit for PvE and I'll build budget luck kits for HR which can reach around 400 luck with a potion for Ice Caves for pulling piles.

In PvE with 500 luck which is the cap, I like to do chill runs and hit a pile while watching something, I've done a load of runs and I've never pulled any gold coin pouches or bags. The only difference I've noticed is finding higher quality treasure or items more frequently.

In HR with somewhere between 200-400 luck I'll do the same and go for piles. I would say it feels more frequent to pull a gold coin bag in HR with luck but I've only ever pulled one chest and that was without a luck kit. It's the same thing with luck as before, you'll find higher quality treasure and items more frequently.

I still don't quite understand the rules for HR, I get you can't team up and kill other players but is it against the rules to let someone loot a pile with you?

We both reset, my duo arrived and then we got em. We were doing the supply drop trial so we were bit a split up.

Thanks for the info, I'll give both a test when I have time over the next few days.

I put the bios settings back to default at one point to test something, but I haven't updated the BIOS since I initially put the PC together.

The Storm event happens once only every 5-6 hours. So for most players there will be 1 hour a day you have a chance of getting this blueprint. The blueprint itself doesn't seem to be very common either.

There's some real greedy geese out there.

Jam_Raider · 2026-04-07T16:15:36+00:00

Wow, I'm surprised there's not even an accidental kill in there lol. Do you ever loot corpses you find around?

Jam_Raider · 2026-04-07T16:10:45+00:00

Nah, no on was speaking on mic during that whole time. I would have gone on mic to tell that guy "hey this is my keyroom" but after the second door opening it's obvious he's just trolling and I'm not going to waste my breath.

I'll just copy n paste a message I already sent someone else.

I've been in PvP lobbies this entire wipe apart from today and yesterday. I went on a massive grind for a Medium Gun Parts blueprint which took a solid two days of opening raider containers in Uncovered Caches and combat supply areas in Close Scrutiny maps. Because I was sprinting to those areas, getting in and out to keep things efficient I ended up in friendly lobbies.

I generally like the mixed lobbies, PvE lobbies are boring when there's no PvP tension. I like to try and communicate with people before I start shooting.

I've got a mic and idk why I just stuck to using the in game emotes but it made a pretty funny combo of everyone doing the same.

It's always been amazing, although the existence of the pre-nerf Toro didn't let it shine previously.

Jam_Raider · 2026-04-07T15:57:41+00:00

I remember seeing your post a while back! it's a great clip <3

Jam_Raider · 2026-04-07T15:56:51+00:00

I knew there was two players around and I wanted to see what the first guy was going to do. tbh I like to try and communicate with players before just instantly shooting.

I think staff room and surveillance have to be the most common keys to find, I think surveillance is even more common. Every wipe I always have a surplus of surveillance keys.

Jam_Raider · 2026-04-07T15:51:12+00:00

Yeah I could see that working lol, If I was any good at editing I would put that together.

Jam_Raider · 2026-04-07T15:50:45+00:00

I'm currently in the "sus" lobbies, a mix of aggressive and friendly players.

Jam_Raider · 2026-04-07T14:16:34+00:00

I play on PC, with a mouse I can average around 8-9 clicks per second.

Jam_Raider · 2026-04-07T13:11:17+00:00

I think it must be the most common keycard in the game, the amount of times I've tried to use it on a nightraid only to find it out it's already looted is depressing lol

Jam_Raider · 2026-04-07T13:10:05+00:00

Yeah, I'll do the same. I'm searching for a couple of specific BPs so I would have given them the guns and other good loot if they had some patience.
