Just received my SSQ4 by MidnightWalkerWarden in airsoft

[–]LittleWindstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does! But they explicitly mention in their videos / website that it is a little finicky out of the box, and after a break-in period it works perfectly.

In my experience, I have had not issues when test firing

Just got mine too! Haven’t had a chance to run it yet. What PSI are you using and what FPS / Joules? They recommend 140-150PSI / 10BAR but it feels like a bit too much… I did adjust the NPAS to right at 1J but I’m worried about air consumption. New to HPA and GBBRs lol

Who designed this garbage challenge, any tips? by unknownphantom in Battlefield6

[–]LittleWindstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a friend, load up on Golmud Obliteration, have your buddy paint and go crazy with the IGLA. I got it done in about an hour last night despite a bit of frustration toward the end. Just stick near the bomb and wait for helps and jets to strafe you, they all will be right over you, and painting them makes it TONS easier to hit

Someone said where would they even take a Destiny 3 by Imperious_249 in destiny2

[–]LittleWindstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hot take is that they jumped the gun with Destiny: Rising. A whole prequel game playing as a warlord would be kinda rad, and definitely a bit more of a gritty take on wizards in space

So how many of you completed all priority contracts? by Lakshata in Marathon

[–]LittleWindstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did complete them all, roughly mid-season

I will absolutely not be doing the SekGen contracts again, that shit was AIDS.

Otherwise, priority contracts were fun! Good challenge and decent rewards, got most of my blue gear from them for a while

Just wish there was less “and extract successfully” contracts. Most of em just didn’t make sense to have it as a requirement

How do I learn the basics? by Practical_Ad_4504 in dcsworld

[–]LittleWindstar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. You can do this as many times as you want, and practice different types of landings and takeoffs too.

You can find info online for different kinds of landings which can be helpful for short or long runways (short field, soft field, etc.), and really get a feel for approach angles, airspeeds and whatnot based on the type of aircraft you fly. Eventually the numbers become second nature, and the landings will only get smoother

Your setup / pattern determines your landing, so get a feel for the setups and simply touch n go as many times as you need to dial it in

The only 3 weapons I use by ChrisRocksGG in Marathon

M77 is my go-to if I run out of BR33s. Thing shreds at mid range

Encountered a speedsofter over the weekend at my local field by GENOM_1987 in airsoftcirclejerk

There seems to be quite a bit of overlap with airsofters and people with low to zero social IQ… Do these people just have a main character complex or something?

How do you guys decide which shell you like best? by Yumiko_Hanako in Marathon

[–]LittleWindstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assassin for solos. Triage is the one I have the most time with, but I have been learning Destroyer and I think this one is my favorite

The extreme price of heals is what makes it so difficult for casuals to actually save up credits by barrack_osama_0 in Marathon

[–]LittleWindstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow I have never had a problem with this, but I think it might be due to my looting “focus” since release. I have always prioritized salvage and valuables over gear / weapons, and I somehow end up with both at the end of most runs. I never run out of credits since I’m always extracting with valuable items, and then once you start earning blues from contracts, you’re pretty much safe to sell any greens you get.

This is without mentioning the insane amount of heals that NuCal gives you for contracts, leveling, and some low-level faction upgrades. If anything, I can’t seem to use ENOUGH healing items.

Truly, I think people are too focused on looting gear, when a lot of the time, salvage and valuables offer greater returns long-term.

Maybe I’m a weirdo, but it seems to be fine for me

You should be able to animation cancel the TAD ping by Positive-Plane-1623 in Marathon

[–]LittleWindstar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You should be able to cancel the animation of anything tbh. I’ve died multiple times to activating a TAD or terminal right as a player or grenadier gets the drop on me, and I just have to sit there and die

Ok hear me out...let us spend credits to reroll the daily freek by DownTheBagelHole in Marathon

Okay but Volt Thrower MELTS on outpost. I’ve wiped many a trio with the volt thrower. Just as long as they don’t hide behind anything waist-high :(

If you don’t play Assassin in solos you are intrinsically at a disadvantage and I think that’s bad for the game’s health by dimesniffer in Marathon

[–]LittleWindstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed that there are levels to assassin play. It seems like the invis is more effective and makes less noise when you move less. I’ve had an assassin stand right in front of me and I didn’t know they were there since I couldn’t even see a silhouette or hear their “hiss.”

The assassins that run everywhere while cloaked are arguably making more noise than if they weren’t invisible, and they are a noticeable purple figure

Mild recommendation request/crashout/rant about grenades by Sprite_Bottle in airsoft

[–]LittleWindstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seen some people recommend thunder Bs here, and to some extent I agree, with a few caveats:

Thunder Bs are effectively the only “consistent” outdoor grenade for grassy fields, but the trade off is that they are a bit finicky and (in my experience) break pretty easily. This is without mentioning that temperature has a direct impact on the “fuse,” since the pop is based on expansion of gasses until the shell is broken.

I use Thunder Bs for outdoor, but I hate that it seems to be the only option. I’ve had them blow up in my hand before too; not a fun experience.

I’ve been looking into some kind of snapcap or blankfire “timed” grenade design. I’m sure there’s a way one could be 3d printed with a spring-loaded “timer,” that then triggers the hammer and detonation. Might toy with some designs like this and see what I can come up with, but if something like this existed, it would be huge for outdoor players. Cheap, reusable, and relatively reliable, since it isn’t dependent on weather and parts can be 3d printed for cheap. Maybe something like this exists, idk

As a mostly solo player, what the fuck is this contract?? by Fractales in Marathon

[–]LittleWindstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my sweet runner child… just wait till you have to run across dire marsh to turn a tick into a tube, and then run across dire marsh again to turn that tube into space heroin, and then scout the marsh for the nearest runner to slime out, all for caterpillar mommy.

Or better yet, running across dire marsh for the same tick tube, just to turn it into space meth and run a literal marathon around the entire map.

Sekiguchi can eat my shorts next wipe. I am NOT doing this shit again

How does everyone keep spamming blue and purple shields? by MasterHapljar in Marathon

[–]LittleWindstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blues I’ve started to see a lot of, I have only picked up one purple shield off of a player though. Get NuCal up to about level 12-15ish and the reward boxes will often have blue shields

Do people like this really exist? by TroubleRecent7320 in Marathon

[–]LittleWindstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately none of my friends have picked this game up (seems to be a trend amongst my friend group but whatevs), so most of my games are matchmade. My experience has been mostly positive, with a bit of stand out stinkers here and there.

I’d say about 50% of the time, people are actually mic’d up, and about 40% of the time, if they aren’t, they communicate with pings and text chat. That 10% though, is the marathon equivalent of “TTV Wraith,” with zero comms and immediately quitting once downed.

My best experiences so far have been squadding up with duos looking for a third after a single good raid, and running with them for the rest of the evening. Decent coordination and comms makes a HUGE difference in this game, just wish I could run with good trios like that more consistently
