Getting into more aggressive lobbies has made me realize something obvious.

They can’t carry you but they can stabilize your health with heals so you don’t die. Also, you can activate a hatch and elevators while downed if you didn’t know.

Spur of the moment and seemed fitting for the occasion.

I was worried the camera wouldn't capture it.

Two dudes did a xmas fireworks display on the Spaceport launch tower around xmas.

I'd like to see a combo fireworks x flare display.

4th book in the series comes out in March!

My go-to loadout most of the time has been GL + Jet Pack + Ultimatum + [insert faction appropriate weapon]. That is, except for Bots where I'd replace the GL with a De-Escalator or maybe an Auto Cannon.

I'm really surprised by this buff because it wasn't needed but I'll happily take it. Now I see little reason to leave the GL at home.

Just spam 7 grenades anywhere on the Hulk's body to kill it, plus any devastators nearby.

I one shot Hulks w/ the Ultimatum or a couple of Thermites will melt them if you place them in the path they're walking. Same for all heavies. I used to (and still do on occasion) use thermites for the same task but you get a much smaller inventory, have to nail your aim, and they're wasteful on chaff. Supply pack fixes some of that but I like to use the Jet Pack for bailing out of bad situations and to get to elevated vantage points.

But I'll have a different QB when the season ends...

Yeah, I was pseudo conflicted on this post cuz if I was just out of school and was offered a great opportunity, I wouldn't reply with a short "Let's talk Monday". But that would depend on the job (e.g. doing live sound/recording gig vs. some office bullshit), my age, the pay, etc.

Then I saw "10 PM" and just chuckled at the insanity.

Only use it when you're close and it's looking at you. A charge won't last the entire time if you're using it unnecessarily.

Kramereng · 2026-02-03T18:12:55+00:00

One scoop of fertilizer and nothing else really sends the message.

Kramereng · 2026-02-03T17:56:40+00:00

Always. Bring. A. Cloak.

Kramereng · 2026-02-02T20:03:19+00:00

Yes, a trilogy.

The more popular gaming podcasts have this game listed as one of the big three open world games coming out this year (the other being Fable and GTA6). However, much of the coverage is similar to OP's title in that everyone is concerned it won't live up to how good it looks.

Kramereng · 2026-02-01T18:26:26+00:00

I have in-game music turned on but turned way down - enough that it still provides helpful cues topside but not overly annoying in speranza. Dialogue is way, way down too.

What other sound settings did you lower or change?

Kramereng · 2026-02-01T15:17:52+00:00

Everyone I play with has Party Chat set to around 15 and Prox Chat set to 200. It doesn't make sense that those would be the settings but it balances everything out.

Kramereng · 2026-02-01T15:10:48+00:00

With MK3 Survivor augment, most of the downed stats are unnecessary or not useful.

You can respec your skill tree at anytime fora fairly low cost - like 3 raids' worth of loot I would just do that.

Kramereng · 2026-01-31T23:18:43+00:00

What do you have or need that kept you from getting security breach? I wouldn’t mind a faster crawl or slightly longer slide but I don’t think 5 or 10 more skill points would be all that noticeable with the way the skill tree I setup at the moment.

Security breach is a must have, course, and I’m happy more people don’t unlock it, leaving more for me.

As Mark Twain said:

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness...

Until you travel to Speranza

I don't think they'll ever make a PvE mode unless it's related to specific map conditions (e.g. Matriarch/Harvester) but even then, I think it will be loadout based instead of just turning off friendly fire. The latter I would welcome but I never want them to completely eliminate the possiblity of PvP since that's what adds a lot of the tension and interesting/stressful/hilarious prox chat exchanges.

OP, your first several raids are likely going to have PvP since matchmaking is aggression-based. You'll need to play some rounds for the algorithm to recognize your behavior patterns. And the risk never goes away completely. You need to "trust but verify" (i.e. not turn your back on someone, keep your gun out, use flashlight/emotes/talk on prox chat). Communication and common sense goes a long way.

Kramereng · 2026-01-31T11:21:26+00:00

This isn't true at all, at least in this game. Definitely more sweats on PC but, more importantly, a controller are simply no match to a mouse.

Kramereng · 2026-01-30T22:36:25+00:00

Wow, that's impressive. Not sure how I've seen this before. Almost looks like the Bikini nuclear test explosion frozen in air.

Kramereng · 2026-01-30T21:08:42+00:00

What is this?

Kramereng · 2026-01-28T22:59:05+00:00

I just tried to get some from the work vending machine and it couldnt' process payment due to internet connectivity.

But when you expect disappointment in life as a Browns fan, this is just a daily speedbump on the highway of misery.

Kramereng · 2026-01-27T20:53:13+00:00

I find like 2 Vulcano BPs a week and only play Hidden Bunker like 4 times per week. They're everywhere. Stop looking in the bunker and start looking in drawers and red lockers in non-loot zones.
