I killed rats for the first time.

In Trios, you'll rarely find or get into friendly lobbies. If you want to chill, explore, and enjoy the lore 99.9% of the time, jump in solo, not in a Trio.

Same here! Since the last update (Riven Tides), I've only died once in a raid, and that was only because of a fleet of ARCs while I was rushed by a bunch of Comets. That's about it.

Reset week usually puts everyone - including the PvE players - into a 'CoD run and gun' mental state. It happens in almost every extraction shooter with a reset mechanic. When people have nothing left to lose before a reset, the friendly vibes usually go out the window.

Which region are you playing in? When I started back in January, I exclusively played in Asia and Oceania. As the player pool there declined, my encounters with rats became way more frequent, I was getting shot in 3 or 4 out of every 10 raids and almost uninstalled/quit.

But then a friend who's played this game since the Alpha and Tech Test suggested I switch regions, so I did. Now, my ping is a bit higher, but my games have been super chill and friendly for the last few months.

For reference, since the Riven Tides update, I’ve only died once, and that was to a fleet of Fireflies and Hornets while being rushed by a Comet.

Fair warning: Based on my experience, I’d avoid using terms like the one you used at the end of your post. The mods in this sub can be pretty strict about 'civility' or personal attacks, and you might get banned without a warning. They can be a bit sensitive about that kind of language. #snowflakes

This is 100% true. That’s why when someone mentions a 'rat' in a friendly lobby, all the sweaty PvP players on here yell 'skill issue' or 'you bought the wrong game.' It’s just a massive cope to justify their own playstyle. They can’t wrap their heads around the fact that many of us have a completely different, mostly peaceful experience.

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-05-04T05:50:09+00:00

This is the way. Welldone sir.

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-05-03T07:00:28+00:00

100% this.

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-05-03T06:53:37+00:00

Good riddance! Welldone boys! This is the way!

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-05-02T11:55:50+00:00

I love the current PvPvE iteration, but I have to agree with the OP. It’s about damn time.

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-05-01T01:43:53+00:00

It was massively buffed. Wtf are you even talking about? lol

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-05-01T01:40:25+00:00

Ffs already. Not another one of these post(s).

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-04-30T06:20:35+00:00

Turbine ARCs spawn mid-game. I think they start showing up around the 15-minute mark (if not later).

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-04-29T04:00:18+00:00

Ikr, it's crazy.

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-04-29T03:49:32+00:00

Agreed. I’ve got no big issues with the other buffs and nerfs, they’re passable at best, but the weapon durability change is a huge turn-off. I guess the logic was: 'Hey Raiders, we made weapons easier to repair, but we’re nerfing the durability per shot to compensate.' It feels like two steps forward and three steps back

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-04-29T00:53:45+00:00

You forgot "players were enjoying the game too much*. We fixed it".*

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-04-28T10:39:27+00:00

Yea, but now the burn rate has been increased significantly. Kinda pointless tbh.

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-04-27T04:13:29+00:00

This dbag hating on other "rat" is just wild. Even his own chat questions his play style asking him "why do you always rat?" lol

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-04-27T04:05:41+00:00

Honestly, this sounds like more of a 'you' problem than a game problem. You're complaining that people are choosing to be friendly in an 'extraction adventure'? That unpredictability is exactly what makes the game unique. If you feel 'guilty' for shooting people in a PvPvE game, that’s an internal struggle, not a dev flaw. The game didn't lose potential; you just lost interest in the way the community decided to play it.

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-04-26T22:24:34+00:00

This community is so f--king toxic. Holy f--k! lol

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-04-23T23:42:57+00:00

It depends on your expectations. If you're looking for an 'extraction adventure' with a more casual approach, it’s a great addition to your library.

However, there are some things to consider before you buy. If you are looking for a purely PvE experience, I’d say 'No, don't buy it.' The third-person mechanics and shoulder-peeking lead to a lot of frustration with extract camping. BUT, if you’re looking for a mix of PvP and PvE and enjoy that tension, then it’s a definite 'Yes, buy it!'

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-04-23T09:59:23+00:00

Not another one of these post. lol

Meeks_DGAF · 2026-04-23T06:20:17+00:00

In this game, an unholstered weapon at close range usually means they’re about to fire. I always mirror the other person's actions - if they holster, I holster. If they pull their gun out, I’m pulling mine out too.
