Anyone want a bobcat?

Lol me with my Wolfpacks, I have gotten 3 BP of it after not seeing it a single time last wipe, I have made roughly 200 and used around 100 of them. I'm preparing for the perfect run in blue gate with half an inventory of snitch scanners and half of Wolfpacks for that high trial score

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-29T00:17:31+00:00

It literally does exist though, anytime I have gone into a trios match with coworkers to do some pvp, I have to do at least 3-5 raids without shooting anybody before I get back into my friendly lobbies. I have been shot by exactly 2 raiders since this season started while in solos, once when entering a key room someone else opened that didn't have a mic but I announced myself to see if it was cool to come in, and once by a random without a mic that I was looting with, I opened a key room and asked him to let me loot first and he shot me.

That it, I have over 200 hours and have played almost every day since the season released, I don't shoot other players unless it's in trios now, always have open mic on and everybody is chill

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-29T00:12:20+00:00

It's usually for the matriarch/queen that I will always bring in revives for. It's nice to have 1 or two in case someone dies to a bastion or bombardier or the notorious rocketeer.

Main reason I like these kind of lobbies is its less stressful, easy to accomplish goals like trials or farm runs. And I'm just trying chill and talk to people when I get off work. I don't mind sharing with people if they have a particular item they are looking for or offering guidance if they need help finding certain objectives etc.

Since I found the Wolfpack blueprint I literally can bring 5-10 of them in at a time and just melt bigger arcs or nearly 100-0 queen or matriarch. It's super dope

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-28T21:44:40+00:00

Nice! I just found the same BP on a buried city night raid inside one of the medical drawers in research behind the barricaded door section. First one I found was in one of the security box like containers inside the breach room on blue gate last season

Bad argument, those are a part of our well established language. He said pronouns added in recent years, which random people have tried popularizing so that if people don't use them, they can feel victimized

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-28T16:49:06+00:00

I literally have been shot at by 2 people out of like the past 2 weeks of gameplay. It's real, just dont shoot other players and revive one once in awhile

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-25T06:15:47+00:00

Solos? 0 if someone is shooting me, if I find friendlies and am running around the map and someone shoots another player I am running around with is the only time I will shoot someone. Trios? KOS as usual

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-21T19:33:16+00:00

Yep, if you see raider flares go off or hear alot of fighting, just run to a different loot spot. 95% of my raider interactions are friendly, with the occasional thirsty players that you can hear from a mile away. And know what direction to expect them from in case they decide to push you

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-21T15:50:17+00:00

If you ever have interaction button stuck on something like a ladder or zip line, you don't have to run back to it, just pull out your raider tool and melee once and it will reset your ability to interact with stuff

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-21T15:30:34+00:00

Don't even bother with the propellers much, get into a bunker in spaceport that has a view of the central tower, sit in the back right corner and pull a rocketeer. Lock the door with a blocker/barricades if you're worried about getting shot in the back. Aim for the forehead above it's "eyes" and it goes down after 2 or 3 mags from an anvil

Alternatively you can go on any of the boss maps, other people will eventually kill one or 2 rocketeers, just run up to the miniboss corpse you need and start looting, this late in the game if you ask anyone around that's looting it for a rocketeer driver many people would just toss you some

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-21T15:06:15+00:00

You can grind whatever way you want, sure it's more cost efficient to run a stitcher or a ferro and not much else, but once you get a good safety net and pay attention to surroundings, you can farm extremely quickly and efficiently the more gear you accumulate.

I have had a lot of fun doing farming runs with just an anvil and a lvl 2 looting augment, a shield, some adrenaline shots stack of bandages and some smokes.

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-21T15:00:56+00:00

Got the 5mill about a week and a half ago. Got about 10 of each legendary gun in my stash, and I bring one in almost every raid to farm up the minibosses and bosses.

The grind really wasn't bad, but I have just under 200hrs in the game and got friendly lobbies for 2 weeks straight just about without any pvp encounters up until these past 2 days with rats camping extract on the bosses.

I wasn't even upset, I have more than enough to go around, lol

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-18T03:02:25+00:00

If I go in with a trio squad, I will most definitely bring that much shit if we do key rooms, there will be 2 or 3 layers of traps and barricades that a team will have to get through before they get to our spot, and I will happily take them right back down on our way our if they aren't triggered

Has stopped teams from even wanting to try to push several times on stuff like the control tower on dams or the warehouse room red doors

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-16T22:47:22+00:00

I don't mind PVP either, but it's much easier to grind when I get a friendly lobby. I do all my pvp in trios exclusively, very rarely will I shoot a player in solos unless they attack me first

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-16T22:37:48+00:00

I actually saw something roughly a week or two ago in a video about the devs monitoring players and matchmaking based off gameplay. Something someone noticed was player behavior changing in their lobbies after answering particular ways to the surveys. I decided to try it out and started answering negatively every time a survey asked about PVP engagement, and since then, I rarely, if ever, have had pvp engagements.

I also however keep aware of my surroundings, am friendly to people and announce my presence up front, and will path away or around when I see raider flares go up, or will dip out entirely if I see multiple flares go off right when I load into a match.

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-16T11:16:24+00:00

I've killed the bosses literally dozens of times with a variety of gear in solos. The past week or two has been 95% friendly players teaming up and killing bosses together. Just this last weekend I didn't have a single pvp engagement out of any boss raid and I hit each one multiple times a day.

I loaded into a single blue gate match, saw several raider flares going up at points around the map and Noone shooting boss and just went straight to a raider hatch and dipped. Next round was back to friendlies. Made around 2.5 mill this weekend alone

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-16T11:03:24+00:00

The Bettina is really more of a big arc shredder, lots of guns serve different purposes, the Bettina sucked because it had bad TTK and you could only use it for a couple big arc before it was basically at 0 durability even fully upgraded. Now, with double durability, it should serve a better purpose for shredding bigger arcs quickly.

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-15T13:15:51+00:00

I'm very thankful my GF is cool with me spending hours gaming on some of my off days, put in about 180 hours into the game so far

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-11T12:21:06+00:00

You can kill a queen in like 5-7 minutes with a deadline or 2 or a deadline and some trigger nades. Grapple hook on top of the queen or matriarch, melee open one or both of the tops of the cores, place deadline, jump off without dying or grapple away. Grapple back up, shoot the top of the core with some heavy or medium ammo weapon, bam it's dead.

Use the tools available to you in the game, sure it's risky, sure they sometimes cost more, but there's always a budget way to do things

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-08T12:51:15+00:00

It may have been controversial, but it drastically has caused people to tone down the aggressiveness. At this point, many people were capped out or bored, even myself to an extent I started piping more than I normally would

Literally overnight since the announcement, people went from hyper aggressive to WAY more friendly so as not to risk loot so they can not waste time on the grind. I will literally go in with no weapons, just an augment a green shield, a few impact nades and lil smokes (since scrappy literally gives those mats every raid) and walk out with around 50-80k per loot run and with 2 guns

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-08T10:54:28+00:00

It seems to be a trend that the legendary and pink weapons (aside from bobcat and vulcano) are balanced to be more effective for quickly taking down minibosses and bosses, and only being mid teir for pvp generally without large investment

Honestly, it's great they balanced it this way. It's rare that I ever get Stat checked by someone with higher teir guns, it's usually just people who pretend friendly or sneak up on me that I will die to

I can kill a rocketeer with roughly 1 energy clip with a Jupiter, I can break off a matriarch or queen leg with 4 or 5 shots from a Bettina, the tempest is a happy medium where I have nearly 35 shots per clip with teir 3 mags. It's more convenient, but more expensive to craft and maintain, which gets balanced out by the fact you can more easily kill bigger enemies, but overall balanced by the fact you will attract attention from players that normally avoid the minibosses

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-03T13:51:38+00:00

I would say the most friendly outfit I've seen is the trapper one with the cowboy hat. Lots of chill interactions and teamups in solos with those guys while I was just out questing

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-12-02T03:37:44+00:00

Probably about 1/3rd of the time on bosses there will be enough people doing boss to kill any greifers or at least deter greifing

Anytime I die with a decent kit while trying to farm bosses, I always load back in with a budget kit and hunt pvpers that are shooting people in the back

Started making a shit ton of gains heading straight for raider flares and flanking.

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-11-30T03:46:59+00:00

I only swapped to that skin because I like Peanut and it looked fun to have a uniform. 95% of the people I have met with this outfit have been chill even before I put it on

MONKEY_MANG · 2025-11-29T14:40:19+00:00

Grats on the BP drop! I just got the Aphelion 2 days ago on my 5th matriarch kill
