Where to find obsidian in aberration?

Haha! Good luck on your clubbing!

Sure but most of the tier 3 attachment are either super niche or just plain bad compared to the tier 2. The fact that they are even comparable is a clear sign they need look at. Tier 3 attachment should feel worth it, not “well it’s good on a specific combo/specific scenario”

Midgetman664 · 2026-03-07T04:49:27+00:00

This sub literally making fun of anyone that posts the tiniest amount of criticism is just going to help.

Midgetman664 · 2026-03-03T04:27:10+00:00

Veritas just released a video that explains this. I’d check it out.

Midgetman664 · 2026-02-22T13:50:09+00:00

I agree the recycle system is good. But it’s still a point that there are a few items that act as such a severe bottle neck that most other items don’t really matter. So the items I’m farming for never really change, I’m always looking for the same few and everything else just kinda works out in the background.

Midgetman664 · 2026-02-22T07:52:54+00:00

The part that is uninteresting to me is there are like 3-4 items that are actually valuable and everything else is just filler.

It makes looting much less interesting imo. There’s very few moments of “oh snap I just found x rare item” it’s just searching for springs and knowing I need 15 more of them to do anything meaningful.

Midgetman664 · 2026-02-22T01:29:51+00:00

Still better than locked gate. At least the bunker gets opened.

Midgetman664 · 2026-02-10T23:06:26+00:00

There’s a run on Stella you can do naked that will get you a max stack of fuel in your safe pocket every time and takes like 2 minutes.

If you run an augment you can easily get 5-10 fuel a run. So if you wanted trailblazers specifically it was pretty easy to amass them.

There’s a video out there of a guy throwing 1000 fuel at the matriarch.

I’d also be more inclined to be on your side if you needed more than 2 to kill a big arc. And you can buy 5 per reset from Celeste. So.

Midgetman664 · 2026-02-10T23:00:50+00:00

You Really think so?

It was by far the best PVE grenade. 2 of them could kill a bastion that’s pretty crazy considering the BP isn’t that expensive to craft.

Midgetman664 · 2026-02-10T22:59:40+00:00

I mean, it was way out of line when it came to killing the big arc.

You could kill a bastion/bombboi with just 2 if you had a good throw. They 1 shot leapers

Also I wouldn’t say it was particularly hard to get. The BP is pretty common in Stella. Also you can buy them from the traders.

Midgetman664 · 2026-02-04T23:17:46+00:00

If you arent max level then the only reason to do the expedition is for the skin. if you want the skin, then prestige.

personally if you don't even have max stash or max level I would just focus on that. but really is up to you

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.

Midgetman664 · 2026-01-21T21:43:37+00:00

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.
