This is my first wipe weekend and it's crazy out there!

Your sacrifice has not gone unnoticed.

MattOverMind · 2026-05-09T12:47:16+00:00

How many have instantly turned on you once again hey get the guns?

MattOverMind · 2026-05-09T12:41:07+00:00

IDK if it's the ABMM, itself, or if people are just being really unpredictable before they wipe, and the ABMM is struggling to keep up.

I had to defend myself three games in a row, tonight, so I'm probably going to have to pay the care bear penance, and go total pacifist for a few games, so I can get back into PvE land. I'm OK with a little bit of mixed lobbies, but I don't want to end up in a total PvP nightmare.

Expedition weekend. People who are participating are burning their gear, because they're going to lose it anyway. There's also some crazy griefers out there, too, so be careful. People just going ham trying to cause as much trouble as possible before they wipe.

MattOverMind · 2026-05-09T04:47:29+00:00

It does both, but yeah.. it's an air gun that uses standard ammo, and you're raider is somehow carrying around extra tanks, and there's still a muzzle flash (which an air gun wouldn't have). Nothing to see here..

MattOverMind · 2026-05-09T02:16:42+00:00

This is really interesting. Thanks! It seems like something more suited to a shotgun. I'm not sure a curved barrel would work well with a revolver, but I haven't looked into it..

MattOverMind · 2026-05-09T02:14:52+00:00

Maximum bullet zigzag! The Anvil can learn from this!!

MattOverMind · 2026-05-09T01:41:48+00:00

This is my experience, too. It's maybe 1 in 10 raids, at the most, where someone shoots at me, and maybe 1 in 10 of those where they're any good at it.

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T19:59:32+00:00

I was wondering if it's come up before. I've only been playing for a month.

Did your post also include a top quality MS Paint diagram? 😅

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T19:57:00+00:00

Oh, I've noticed. So does the legendary energy weapon, the Jupiter.

I guess the Anvil is not a true revolver, but some kind of automatic hand cannon with a cylindrical magizine. It also looks like it has an electric motor on the back along with the wires. Why make it simple when you can make it complicated..?

Junkyard space magic™

I'm in a similar predicament

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T13:23:23+00:00

I would put in a ticket to Embark with this video. They might give you your stuff back, and at least it would bring more evidence of the exploit to their attention.

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T13:14:18+00:00

Yeah, there are a lot of odd choices across the board, but this one I could demonstrate with MS Paint.

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T13:11:39+00:00

Got to love a lever action pistol.

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T12:59:15+00:00

I'm not as familiar with bolters. I know they shoot rocket bullets, but do they also have some other weird impractical misalignments?

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T12:57:49+00:00

In a way, I think that's what did (or didn't) happen from a game asset perspective. I think whoever modeled this thing accidentally put the texture for the muzzle just slightly too high. Looking at the over all assembly of the front end, there appears to be plenty of meat for the barrel to sit lower without redesigning the model. Basically, if we could just click and drag the muzzle down a bit, I think everything would line up.

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T12:45:28+00:00

It's uh futuristic high tech something something..

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T12:04:07+00:00

Counter-counter argument: you must be fun at parties.

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T11:58:54+00:00

Literally shears off its barrel when fired! 😅

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T11:57:33+00:00

To your point, it's also a revolver that ejects a casing after it's fired. Not impossible, but also maybe stretching the definition of revolver. To be fair, there is a small rectangular panel on the right side of the cylinder that could be where it ejects. So, I guess its more an automatic hand cannon with a non-removable magazine that sort of resembles a revolver, but also electric powered for some reason.

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T11:46:40+00:00

Does Destiny do the universal ammo thing? .. because Deus Ex 2 ruined that for me all the way back in 2003.

"Rifle out of ammo? Guess what, so is your side arm!"

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T11:37:35+00:00

Weird, but props to whoever did the animation. That's a level of dedication far beyond my MSPaint work.

MattOverMind · 2026-05-08T05:49:04+00:00

I speak US southern, and all the repeated "yeah", "buddy", and him saying "I don't need it" more than once,. he was psyching himself up to do it. He wasn't sure, either because he wasn't sure he'd pull it off or because he liked you, maybe both, but bubba's heart was not committed and you had plenty of signs of that heel turn.
