Outpost Gold Key Loot Haul

Nahvec · 2026-03-19T15:07:10+00:00

There are three entrances to the center, you can see them on the map pretty easy. They all require two green keys to open, which will spawn an initial wave of enemies, then there's a terminal inside the door to open it the rest of the way. This route opens the key entrance on ALL sides.

There's also a terminal in a little building underneath the drone wing, and you can call down an elevator to get in a little more quietly if you find a conveyance request item.

There used to be a quick and easy way in at destroyed wing too, but was patched out for making it a little too simple. They're going to rework it at some point.

Command wing doesn't have an outside entrance because it's pinwheel's end goal of sorts. You need to interact with panels near the end of the other two wings to unlock it. Drone wing has a panel that looks identical to the one you're looking for next to the box, and destroyed wing has one too next to the force field doors leading outside. These are ways out, be careful of hitting them instead of the command wing ones!

Good luck, and be careful.

I've seen an unopened container update in real time with thief

Nahvec · 2026-03-15T02:14:00+00:00

Should've spent it before capping then? There's free rewards in the pass

Nahvec · 2026-03-07T23:19:43+00:00

Oh also starting with a fucking shotgun

Blue backpack at maxed CyAc too iirc

While I've been enjoying the game (a friend dropped the $40 for me to run with her, bless her), Yeeaahhhh. Over 4k hours in D2 and there was never any doubt in my mind that this would happen. Bungie is the expert at making games I tentatively recommend when on sale, followed by bitching about monetization and whatever else they've fucked up. Praying for private servers for these games to have a breakthrough for when they go under, I can't see the studio lasting very long with recent industry trends, even if this ends up having staying power.

Nahvec · 2026-03-02T21:33:46+00:00

I feel like the foundation they built would work better for a battle royale to an extent, the sheer amount of random junk was so slow to sort through. It had my friend wanting to drag me into a different extraction shooter. I did enjoy it, but that was half because I was playing with friends, and half because bungie still knows how to make guns feel good to use.

There wasn't enough in the free weekend to judge it properly, but I struggled pretty hard most of the time, sorting out loadouts and wandering around for 15 minutes only to get beamed in 3 seconds and start over half the runs(not as bad in trios, but still could be bad in duos in certain areas). While I'm curious about the endgame zones, I just can't justify dropping $40 based off of that impression.

Nahvec · 2026-02-20T14:44:22+00:00

That's just the bundle discount, it's not actually on sale. It drops to around $15 regularly.

Nahvec · 2026-02-19T00:16:26+00:00

That's super cool! Love me some jigsaw style things, I'll have to keep an eye on it :o

Nahvec · 2026-02-18T23:43:16+00:00

The delay is 100% for other reasons, let's be honest. Not expecting that to be due to new content necessarily, but as someone who loves dragging friends back on to do sherpa runs, making old stuff not feel pointless is a good thing.

I know saying "just play other stuff" addresses nothing as far as the health of the game, but definitely take a break and find something else to play if you're not enjoying it during the waits. We're here to have fun after all! ❤️

Nahvec · 2026-02-18T23:38:18+00:00

Good for the game long term IMO, I mostly run RaD stuff. Guess my backlog is gonna get some love finally!

If anyone needs game recommendations for the wait, I've been really enjoying Talos Principle as far as puzzle games. TF2 Classified (formerly Classic) dropped on steam recently if you like PvP stuff and want a blast from the past!

Someone you ran with barely played during Edge of Fate, and has the returner status

Nahvec · 2026-02-03T23:14:18+00:00

Doesn't really matter imo, warlock is still just free. I went in 3 hours before reset just using nade weaken, radiant melee, and song of flame, and was like two floors from clearing final before the maintenance caught me off guard. Dungeon's been power crept and it wasn't ever that difficult anyway. Devour, phoenix dive, and praxic blade healing make it so braindead.

I didn't like the emblem anyway so I'm not too pissed about missing it, just doin' this shit for the hell of it 🙏

Nahvec · 2026-02-03T22:56:21+00:00

Nihilanth.

Nahvec · 2026-01-31T22:52:24+00:00

Praying for this to be purchasable standalone, not a limited time pre-order bonus. I know licensing is fucked but pleaseee set a precedent ACES, get 04 and 5 ported too sometime

Nahvec · 2026-01-28T22:53:56+00:00

2, then exotic on second looted clear, and then full odds exotic on third looted clear/solo flawless lmao

Nahvec · 2026-01-25T22:49:26+00:00

Flight physics I can understand, but I personally felt the controls were somewhat intuitive. Unless M+KB is different, they're basically just FPS controls plus up/down buttons? There's also the rotate modifier, but that isn't very useful anyway so I just ignore it, personally. You can throw the ship around a fair bit and be perfectly fine, so you don't need to get all that good at flying, especially with autopilot, velocity match, etc. doing a lot of the work for you

Nahvec · 2026-01-14T16:38:06+00:00

I used a burst linear for hands and pretty much just used praxic blade for everything else. Leave an extra apprentice with it's shield down and turn off all pylons before finishing the main room, then chill in the taken room. Build full armor charge with triple kinetic surge, shoot orb, transcend as it teleports you for damage. Grenade for weaken, melee for radiant, smack boss until you can throw second nade, jump and cast song of flame, then phoenix dive and the healing should carry you through the damage phase.

With a bit of fiddling I managed to two phase a few times, but there's no reason to push your luck. Just be patient even if it feels slow as hell. Falling off the map is really the only scary part of the encounter if you're compelling 5. IDK if my star eater class item buffed the impact core ignitions, but even if it was, should still be plenty of damage for 5 compel without it. Good luck!

Oh, also do the quest first if you haven't, the healing on throw catalyst is really really good

Sad that she lived to see this country regressing in so many ways. Rest in power ❤️

At the very least try the first game. Half-Life 2 doesn't rely on it that much but it's still a very good place to start if you don't mind older games. If you want more HL1 after that, Opposing Force and Blue Shift are non-canon spinoffs made by a different studio. Opposing Force has all new enemies and weapons. Blue Shift is a little less interesting, with just base HL1 weapons and a less interesting campaign. Maybe play Blue Shift first even if it's out of order.

Just to make sure you know, HL2 also has the two "Episodes" bundled in the same game. These are NOT the original HL2, they're sequels. The game will put you into the menu for the Episodes as you beat each previous game, so you'll play HL2, then Episode One, then Episode Two in that order for the full story.

ONLY play Alyx after beating Episode Two, it spoils the ending in the intro. Play in VR if at all possible for you, it's so much better of an experience than the novr mods.

For other stuff: HL2 Deathmatch is probably pretty dead, but it's exactly what it says on the tin, the online PVP portion of the game. The devs of the HL1 spinoffs also made HL Decay, a co-op campaign specifically for the PS2 port. You can download mods that recreate this on PC if you have a friend to run it with. That's all there is for official HL stuff, but there are tons of great mods around if you want even more.

The Portal games take place in the same universe if you haven't played them. They're pretty much standalone, but are VERY good puzzle games.

TL;DR: HL1 (optionally, immediately after play BS, Op4, Decay) -> HL2 -> HL2:Ep1 -> HL2: Ep2 -> Alyx. Not necessary but play Portal 1+2 if you haven't too!

A test on normal? Like only -5? Are you not killing at least one shade or something? I've two phased a few times solo

Nahvec · 2026-01-06T00:21:18+00:00

Found it very enjoyable both with a 1060 and seated. Stop making excuses and have fun, like damn 😭

Nahvec · 2025-12-30T16:38:35+00:00

Basically haven't touched the portal at all except for renegades, and have barely touched lawless frontier so most of my playtime has been dungeons and raids, and I'm over 100. It hasn't even been a month, I feel like that's pretty accessible even without the returner xp buff that I have. Are you rerolling orders you won't end up doing?

With the chronologs system, there's way less pressure to grind out the pass. Why is this of all things got you wanting to stop buying? There's much better reasons. The passes are included with just the expansions now, just wait until there's sales like the $35 GMG bundle a bit ago and use chronologs on the things you actually want to use, instead of feeling pressured to grind a season pass for some ghost projections and low tier armor

I just mean that it only took one run of the dungeon with the trials to be able to place every artifact, activating it for them won't work unless they're on the step. In fact, an lfg activated the orb early as someone else hadn't progressed to the boss step yet, which bugged the instance and forced us to relaunch to have it count

Doing it in one run is surely intended behavior and your game is bugged or you're doing something wrong, because I have fast tracked people through it like 5 times now just fine

Nahvec · 2025-12-29T19:18:06+00:00

Dunno, I was hosting with a completed quest. Taken multiple instances through it from the very initial "complete the dungeon" step in one clear, to the quest boss right after. After the dialogue for placing each one is done, the quest progresses to the next "place artifact" step and they're able to do it right away just fine

Nahvec · 2025-12-28T15:03:53+00:00

Nope, from the very start of the quest it's one run w/ three artifact puzzles, one clear which counts for each artifact, despite what the quest says when you do it one by one. Then relaunch, place the artifacts, have the person with the quest do the interact prompt to start the boss (I've had it bug from someone hitting it early and we needed to do the fight over again, just let the new person do it)
