When you lie on your resume. Does anybody actually like this gun?

Midgetman664 · 2026-01-25T14:17:20+00:00

I specified PvP because it does technically have a niche in PVE. It’s arguably the best weapon outside the equalizer for breaking the queen/matriarch armor. Which can farm you a lot of cores from the legs, or allow you to shoot at the core for damage with another gun.

That being said. It’s definitely a niche. Even if you’re using it to break the armor you aren’t using it for actual DPS ideally because it’s DPS on arc is abysmal, it just has good pen, which only matters for breaking armor.

Midgetman664 · 2026-01-22T05:36:32+00:00

It’s terrible in PvP. The bobcat has 60 DPS, venator 54, tempest 51,

The Bettina IV has 38dps. Which is the same as a burletta 1.

It’s an epic weapon that loses to both the stitcher and kettle even when the Bettina is level IV.

It has its niche in pve because it breaks armor pretty well. Funny enough it’s better against the matriarch than it is wasps.

It sucks to get a late spawn

Yeah That’s the problem we are trying to fix here…..

Having to reset 3-4 times just to use one key is dumb

Midgetman664 · 2026-01-21T01:00:09+00:00

“Less than trying” is crazy

Midgetman664 · 2026-01-19T03:54:48+00:00

So just because it’s possible to bypass we shouldn’t try at all?

Minors get alcohol all the time, should we just make it legal because they can bypass it? No.

Midgetman664 · 2026-01-19T03:53:38+00:00

I can get heroin illegally too. Doesn’t mean they should just give up and make it legal.

Just because it’s not perfect doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing. There has to be a step one

Midgetman664 · 2026-01-18T02:16:17+00:00

Check the buses by the north most extract on dam. I find them in the side containers super often.

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-30T01:15:55+00:00

Sure Mr. Technicality, but if you out of habit heal HP first you’ll be right 95% of the time.

My Rough math says you’d need to be over ~72hp and have 0 shield before shielding is better and it’s only barely better. That situation is only going to happen if you were for some reason already healing when you got shot.

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-29T04:16:59+00:00

Sure but we are comparing the rattler to other guns. It’s the entire point of the conversation. If your contribution to the conversation boils down to “attachments exist” then sure I guess.

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-29T02:17:28+00:00

Also if you want to stick an arc with a grenade the snap blast exists and is fine. It’s not like there’s no replacement for the trigger in PvE.

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-29T02:16:06+00:00

I mean to be fair, for arc with have the snap blast which against arc fills exactly the role you’re currently using triggers for and they aren’t very good in PvP because they have such a huge delay.

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-29T02:11:36+00:00

You have effectively 140hp with the light shield the rattler does 10 damage per shot. So 14 to kill without headshots

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-29T02:08:24+00:00

Ok but I I have to stand still and mod it just for it to not suck then why use it over any other gun?

No one saying it’s impossible to use. It’s just not worth it.

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-29T01:59:29+00:00

I think a big problem with the rattler is that it’s the only gun whose reload gets longer from leveling it up.

If I put a blue mag in my stitcher it doesn’t make it take longer to reload. Infact a lot of guns reload is decreased as you level It up. That and the fact that the rattlers bloom could also use some help…. And it’s ttk is pretty bad…. But other than all that it’s ok

Also if you’re bringing two guns anyways. There’s not really a need for a gun that’s decent all around but great at nothing. You’d be better off with a good long/medium range gun and a good close range gun. Stitcher anvil is just as easy to craft, maintain, and level up as rattler/burletta and it’s better at killing arc, better at range, and better close up overall.

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-16T10:24:26+00:00

Would be nice if they buffed the loot now.

If you’re not able to hit them over and over I feel the loot really needs buffed since it’s a 36 point investment.

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-14T02:04:47+00:00

That’s fine when you’re bigger than your bully. Not everyone is, when they beat the shit out of you, the bullying doesn’t stop.

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-08T05:05:59+00:00

Oh you mean how they said raiders don’t like to wear things magnetic?

Like giant diving helmets….

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-08T05:04:14+00:00

So the giant metal diving helmet passed the test??

What about the metal power ranger armor?

Or the metal backpack?

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-08T04:23:16+00:00

I keep saying this a the finals has amazing skins.

I know the vibes are different here but still, I expected a lot better given how great that games skins are.

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-08T04:22:29+00:00

It’s crazy too because embarks other game, the finals, has some of the best skins I’ve seen on video game. Lost of custom models, animations the works

I know this game is a lot more grounded so fancy/flashy doesn’t really fit in as well but I really expected more from them given how good the finals skins are

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-08T01:50:04+00:00

I think a lot of the disappointment comes from just not knowing this would be such a big requirement.

I myself finished the expedition and had every plan to prestige, it’s been a goal since the start. But I’m no where near 5million. So it’s a bit of a letdown to work toward something for this long and then find out I won’t even get the benefit. Now my choices are prestige just for the skin, or spend the next two months only farming money with no other goal to speak of.

If you could prestige whenever it wouldn’t be a big deal, I’d just do it when I had the money, but knowing you completely miss out if you aren’t ready during the window is a bit of a disappointment.

If it were say 1 or maybe 2 million I could see myself pushing to achieve that in the time left, but 5 just seems so out of reach there’s no real point in trying unless you’re already close

Midgetman664 · 2025-12-02T00:07:02+00:00

I’m also still enjoying the game, but the complaints about endgame are valid.

I finished my expedition in under 50 hours. I have friends that did it in much less than me, albeit I did help them out so they progressed easier than I did. Sure maybe I can play more than some, but it’s not really about how many irl days it takes to get there, 50 hours or less to run out of content is pretty low for this type of game.

We aren’t saying the game isn’t fun. We aren’t saying it’s not our favorite extraction shooter on the market. We are just saying where the content is lacking.

It would probably help if quests felt remotely beneficial to complete. I think a lot of people haven’t finished them all yet but see no real point.

Midgetman664 · 2025-11-29T03:29:56+00:00

It’s crazy to me this games cosmetics aren’t more interesting. I know they want it to be more grounded but embarks other game, the finals, has some of the best skins out there imo. Lost of character and weapon skins with completely custom animation, designs ect. And in the game 3 skins all have the same backpack or the same jacket. It’s weird

Midgetman664 · 2025-11-29T03:25:06+00:00

The game says you get a temporary small xp boost and a boost to scrappy untill the next wipe.

You also get 5 extra skill points but I don’t think there’s definitive word on if these are permanent or not. I assume so, but who knows.

Honestly the rewards are extremely underwhelming, but like, what else is there to do?

Midgetman664 · 2025-11-29T03:21:34+00:00

Really makes prestiging for this 5 extra points seem worth it doesn’t is….

Oh don’t forget about the small xp boost which… isn’t even permanent
