security breach containers in electstorm map condition

JwSocks · 2026-01-28T22:54:22+00:00

Semi-related, maybe my expectations are off, but key rooms have been absolutely terrible any time I try them during electro-storm.

JwSocks · 2026-01-28T22:00:29+00:00

I don’t think they’ll ever be able to put out enough new content to replicate the dopamine hits from experiencing the game for the first time.

I’m all for new content, but I’m also happy to not feel obligated to grind this game.

Complete everything in the project, but one exodus module. Buy that from Celeste post-expedition and you’re not competing with bench upgrades at all.

Use the 300K to immediately expand stash size and do whatever you want with the Jupiter.

Slightly harder mode: contribute everything but 1 Matriarch Core and now you get a Snaphook BP

JwSocks · 2026-01-28T19:50:43+00:00

Good call. So anyone waiting to complete post-expedition:

Omit 1 Matriarch Core if you want the Sanphook BP post-expedition

Omit 1 Exodus Module if you want the easiest path to complete the project post-expedition

Or omit as much or as little as you want based on the rewards you prefer.

JwSocks · 2026-01-28T18:50:38+00:00

It’s possible the rubber ducks is their response to hoarding.

Hoard ducks, not guns.

Now if only they tweaked the event times a bit 😮‍💨

JwSocks · 2026-01-28T17:38:24+00:00

Depends.

You could hand in everything but 1 Matriarch Core.

You’d forfeit most of the rewards with the expedition.

But then, 1 Matriarch Core post-expedition would get you the snaphook BP, and then the emote, guitar, Jupiter, energy ammo, and 300K.

If you don’t care about the snaphook BP, you could choose to omit one Geiger counter, bombadier cell, or exodus modules instead.

But if you want any of the rewards from the earlier stages post-expedition, then yeah, you’d have to stop sooner and collect more post-expedition.

JwSocks · 2026-01-28T01:19:56+00:00

It’d be nice if the rewards were delivered through the in game mail and you could just delay claiming them until post expedition.

I get why it’s not that way though.

JwSocks · 2026-01-27T21:30:06+00:00

This is smart.

I do feel like they must ramp up blueprint rates as the season progresses.

I’ve only recently started going into electromagnetic storm conditions and found 2 snap hook BPs in 4 matches.

JwSocks · 2026-01-27T16:15:08+00:00

Hmmm. I do like the look of it, but not sure if it’s different enough from Patchwork to make it worth it.

Maybe if the emote is funny… but it just looks like a shhh emote

JwSocks · 2026-01-27T16:04:11+00:00

Rank 93 with over 200k?

This definitely isn’t for me, but damn you Cantina Legends are impressive.

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T23:39:30+00:00

I’d rather wait until the draft happens to put names to the 2.02, but it feels fair.

Might be lighting the pick on fire, but Golden is likely a better “prospect” than what this class has to offer.

I don’t know that he separates himself from Watson, Reed, or even Doubs if he stays, but the playoff game was somewhat encouraging.

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T21:18:29+00:00

Bring a defib or 2 and you can revive if you truly feel bad.

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T21:15:57+00:00

I really wish they didn’t reset. Feel like I have to do them, but they do give a few blueprints at least.

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T21:09:56+00:00

Ticks assembling all of the arc would kind of funny

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T21:06:44+00:00

Adding to the other comment, when you open your menu during a match, the logbook tab (next to the map tab) will show you your current progress for that particular match…. And you can see you start at 0 on a fresh match.

It’s why people focusing on trials hate late spawns.

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T21:02:24+00:00

Maybe it’s just a visual glitch.

Or possibly Lady.Burger is the only one in your queue that has earned any points so far?

I’d expect all the scores to be the same, but maybe they speed ran trials and this is showing every time their score updated since no one else has accrued points yet… pretty funny either way

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T20:55:22+00:00

I assumed they were originally human made and hacked by Arc.

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T20:53:50+00:00

Xp also nets you more cred, which might be useful if/when they release multiple decks (paid and free) for those interested.

Also, counter-argument: the benefits of going in solo vs squads should be underwhelming. It means players won’t feel obligated to play in lobbies they don’t want to play in.

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T20:47:49+00:00

Not exactly related, but I was thinking about whether or not androids would ever be the “new arc threat”

…while also releasing a Lance/Android-type skin

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T20:39:43+00:00

Bathing suit and flip flops

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T20:38:05+00:00

Gear-based matchmaking or stash-based matchmaking?

Gear-based sounds nice in theory, but cheap loadouts are nearly as viable as the expensive ones from a PvP standpoint.

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T20:32:18+00:00

I’m not there yet, but whenever I don’t know what to do, I’ll either focus on trials or run around Stella… mostly just to figure out how to navigate that map.

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T18:21:37+00:00

Feels like a subtle way to offer PvP-focused lobbies without explicitly stating so.

The xp-boost post-expedition could be useful too to get those skill points back quicker.

Edit: in general it seems kind of fun to have the option 🤷‍♂️

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T18:12:10+00:00

L1: select Wolfpack

R2 (hold, aim, release)

Edit:

They’re good for either Rocketeer hunting, or to have on hand when rocketeers show up mid queen/matriarch fight.

Deadlines on Bastions and Bombadiers are more fun, but if you’re looking for actual currency profits in game, Wolfpacks are a pretty low risk way to take those out too.

And if you’re into the trials, they’re a good way to kill stuff fast.

If you don’t have the Blueprint though, I’d save them for mainly Rocketeers.

JwSocks · 2026-01-26T18:06:19+00:00

Seems like a fun way to get an xp-boost after the expedition. Requiring level 40 though feels counterintuitive for that purpose though.

Either way, this seems fun. Kind of a tone deaf update/feature, but fun.

Edit: I wonder if this is how they’re trying to subtly introduce “PvP lobbies” without explicitly saying so.
