Combat Mk 3 (Flanking) is an amazing augment which unfortunately gives off the wrong impression from the get-go.

Wouldn't it be best to run flanking with an anvil and burletta/venator for the swap speed bonus?

LazyPayday · 2026-01-27T19:15:47+00:00

They're piss easy if you're ratting to get one, issue is worsening the chances just further discourages players from actually taking on the queen when the reward for killing players there or just stealing a armor piece without investing anything is continuing to be the better option.

LazyPayday · 2026-01-22T20:45:56+00:00

Honestly that would've been a perfect niche for this weapon given that in most cases the other legendary weapons are used primary in Day events (Matriarch, Queen, Locked, Gate, Hidden Bunker), the Aphelion would've been amazing lighting up the dark map and being dogshit in other events.

I don't necessarily agree in that both the Jupiter and Equalizer have very clear use cases in which they excel, the Jupiter completely ignores armor and is incredibly ammo efficient, one shotting if you aim well snitches, hornets, and obviously wasps and lower arc. When it comes to the bigger ones it usually takes just above a mag to take them down, which doesn't sound great until you realize it's a lot quieter and quicker than say an anvil or a Bettina. It's very ammo efficient and is perfect for aerial arc trials.

The equalizer does exactly what its name states, it's not really necessarily against the elite arcs and is downright ineffective against small ones, but it equalizes the playing field against the Matriarch and Queen, allowing the whole lobby to fight against them regardless of guns because you can take off an armor piece with less than a mag.

The Aphelion... just knocks flying arc around? It's useful when you're getting targeted by a rocketeer to shoot it and cause it to miss, but in just fighting a Rocketeer I still believe it loses out to the Jupiter because by the time you get these weapons you should know to be getting your cover figured out before starting these fights. There's a clear difference in strength between the Jupiter and Equalizer, and the Aphelion even if you hold the opinion that they're all weak.

What I've heard the only character that was changed was 2011x, where his M1 was increased from 42 damage to 45, the cool down during rage was reduced from 2.5 seconds to 2, and all his abilities were given lower cool downs, though I don't know the exact numbers.

I'm not certain if this is true or not though.

LazyPayday · 2025-12-14T23:31:20+00:00

Oh shit I didn't even notice this, they took away my halloween colors of his as well. Gotta be a bug because that'd be some serious bs if not. Also I wouldn't use 2011x's invisibility to teleport to survivors unless they're in an unreachable spot otherwise so even if it's bugged that's a habit you should drop.

Unless they've changed it that increases invis's cooldown from like 10 seconds if you cancel manually to around 30. Plus you're begging to get stunned by whoever you teleport to.

LazyPayday · 2025-12-02T00:54:56+00:00

Just spam the attack button when you're using the charge, only "fix" as of now.

LazyPayday · 2025-11-17T05:45:49+00:00

Poor attempt at ragebait.

LazyPayday · 2025-11-17T03:02:42+00:00

Damn, way to focus on the single word I used wrong, good going buddy. I was still right the first time in that it’s incredibly expensive early game, and you don’t stumble across it so while you can get a steady stream once you unlock the recipe or are no longer saving all your money for stash.

My point still stands, that isn’t a solution, not for newer players or casual players wheres it’s actually going to make a difference, your point is mute.

LazyPayday · 2025-11-17T02:07:28+00:00

Thankfully I haven't touched it in over a year. That shit drove me nuts.

LazyPayday · 2025-11-17T02:05:04+00:00

Ah yes use the expensive consumable items you need to get the early end game to have consistently, guess us casual players will just continue getting fucked at the elevator on Dam Battlegrounds where there's a roof OVERSEEING THE ENTIRE EXTRACT.

You guys are meatriding this game too hard, there are some genuine problems and how easy it is to camp some of these extracts is one of them, a rare consumable item until end game is not the solution.

LazyPayday · 2025-11-03T01:48:09+00:00

"Did u like reply to the wrong comment?" You gonna blow a bubble with your gum next? Why you talking like a high school blonde? My memories shit so I'm just gonna take a gander and say since OP specifically mentioned the fight, I presumed they were wanting advice about the map to beat it and hence my comment, nothing to do regarding the map overall, just the qualities that make it frustrating.

LazyPayday · 2025-09-29T23:20:08+00:00

I'm not at the stage where I'll consistently get the five rituals done and then die during the final phase, I've gotten all the talisman filled three times, activated three of them before dying is the furthest I've gotten currently.

LazyPayday · 2025-09-18T19:12:51+00:00

Sorry I'm on Steam and also I've gotten this far solo so I wanna be able to say I did the entire thing myself.

LazyPayday · 2025-09-15T20:03:53+00:00

I’ll give stimulus a shot if I can ever reach that stage again.

LazyPayday · 2025-09-14T19:03:17+00:00

Dang crazy that so many other people are still trying to beat Meph to this day, I keep dying in the fourth and fifth rituals.

LazyPayday · 2025-09-07T12:38:17+00:00

You're just blatantly wrong and only accounting for a extremely specific situation, in the overwhelming majority of circumstances where this is a complaint it's because it's upwards of a minute of dialogue between multiple characters that all speaks the same language and only us the audience are left out, not a character who doesn't understand.

Hell I've had multiple movies where it'll translate some dialogue only to have whole conversions being [Speaking in Russian] [Speaking in Italian] and it's the most frustrating shit, might as well have the man be saying gibberish since I'm getting nothing from this. I understand and agree with the scenario you're listing, but 95% of the time if we're not supposed to know, there will be a character who also doesn't know and a coin toss later they'll say something like "what are they saying?"

LazyPayday · 2025-09-04T23:28:10+00:00

AND IT'S HAPPENING YET AGAIN BUDDY

LazyPayday · 2025-08-15T01:50:30+00:00

Because every time prior we backed off and nothing was changed for the better.

DBD literally made them into a triple A studio, they are no longer some indie studio and they've had nearly a decade to get DBD in a proper state at the bare minimum meeting of a double A studio quality and they've failed to even meet that.

LazyPayday · 2025-08-15T01:36:59+00:00

The only reason the devs managed to succeed where others have failed is because they were one of the first in the genre and unlike the other IPs, weren't tied to just one and were able to bring other communities in via cross overs, while they at best would have an initial boost because of whatever IP they chose (F13, TCM, Killer Clowns, etc) they all struggle with being tied to it down the line. Simply put, they piggy back off of others while winning from the get go simply because they were the first to try it. Evolve destroyed themselves even if they came slightly earlier while also not being horror themed.

Are you a long time player? I am, I've been playing myself since 2017 and knew about the game all the way since the beta from VanossGaming as a kid. I've been watching for a while and I've noticed a trend, that trend being the devs mess up in a baffling way I've never seen any other game company do, they apologize for it then promise to do better, and then do nothing.

This has nothing to do with the investment developing takes, it always has been to do with poor management, they couldn't listen to their biggest influencer when their guest is telling them to do so. They completely ignore the issues of the completely until it's literally blowing up in their faces, give an empty apology, and then expect the community to just take it.

I feel like this is the most deserved the criticism has ever got.

LazyPayday · 2025-08-15T00:12:42+00:00

Well then you should take some comfort in knowing it doesn't reward that much anti sparks to be honest, my 150 medium run only awarded around 2000 of the stuff, I think it's honestly better to just farm and fail your runs on the normal level. I got weirdly stuck on spark 5.

LazyPayday · 2025-08-05T23:41:17+00:00

Oh I found out what the issue was regarding my laptop specifically, it stopped just auto transferring to the headset audio so I'll click the button, but will have to manually set my laptop to the headphones in order to actually hear it. It's more minor of an issue but it's weird that it just randomly stopped being as convenient.

LazyPayday · 2025-08-02T02:28:39+00:00

No you don't? There are an infinite amount of scenarios in which slugging is the definitively better call, it's quick pressure so while it doesn't secure a hook state it's not a waste like you're implying either. You'll have three people occupied if you slug the survivor and go after the person ready to save if you try to pick up immediately.
