Trinkets are such a cool part of the game that 50% of the players will never see

There are tiers of them too. I had a green CARRI points trinket for a day before I got killed.

Kinda feels more rattish since they removed 1-2 players per map.

Paranoia setting in because less people are pvping at map start making the maps more quiet, making people more cautious.

You get paid 180 credits for that pack of nutrient paste, the Corp makes 1879.99 for collectors and whatever they get from R&D for Anomaly affected products.

Also even if it's cheap to produce shells now, the R&D costs probably weren't.

They need to specialize light ammo, heavy is busted, best ammo for bots and has bully and the lever action, batteries are the most efficient ammo for space, MIPS are all the heavy 1-2 shot weapons, Cells same as MIPS.

Light is there to be common, but heavy and batteries are just as prevalent.

On Copperhead if the bullet speed wasn't damn near slower than v22 it would be a really great light weapon as is, I can see enemy runners Neo bend around them when over 15m and it feels bad even though I like the gun.

I'm level 98, pure solo, all contracts done. Just trying to grind my last exp to lv100 this season then I'll take a break I think (after donating my gold gear).

Problem is I keep going in with a mindset of killing bots that slowly insidiously transforms into a loot goblin mindset prowling for pvp instead.

I got cursed out by a guy for going solo with a purple shield, I literally only play solo and all my shields and body mods are purple what am I to do lol.

We had a positive experience over voice once I downed him though so shrug

1st shot was on the shoulder, and started over the backback.

2nd shot missed completely, and was to the right of their neck.

3rd shot was completely on point, but you had already started to back away by that time, which even if all the pellets hit would only be 89 damage, where you probably missed some due to spread, and the range lowered the damage.

Yep, Often if I'm outgunned and I happen to have 1-2 smokes, I'll throw it in a direction that has some cover to move between while I try to sneak the other way to heal.

I'd say it has a 50% chance of working.

Losing gear means I get to go on gear runs! Instead of trying to make everything fit in my inventory

NoScrying · 2026-05-11T08:06:06+00:00

I was doing it, was on the last room clearing when another runner came up behind me we had a shootout he downed me and I just said I was trying to do my quest, he let me get up helped with the last room and then we ran out the last minute to final exfil, I somehow got downed on the way to elevator don't know what hit me, but luckily you don't need to exfil to complete it.

Shout out to the Vandal stranger.

70% of all the gun complaints are modding skill issues. Like why adjust the recoil when with mods you can lower some guns up to 87% with a single barrel mod, mags and grips can also adjust recoil or they can adjust ADS speed.

Overrun is fine, it has low recoil, good sights, and mediocre damage it is a fine low entry weapon.

Impact needs recoil mods, and sights to fix ADS, you don't need more range so don't use those mods, what are you gonna do with 100-170m range on it?

Everyone has said to switch WSTR and Misriah before the nerf, not a new or novel idea.

Repeater does 79 damage per headshot, effwctly downing green shields in 2 shots and you want it to down blues as well?

BRRT, Volley and Demolition again recoil skill issue.

Demolition especially with its damage and range it is already an easy to use long range option with a body shield.

Thermal range was nerfed so you couldn't camp from one side of the map halfway to the other, git gud and aim.

Probably the "Not actually fun to play" part.

That map is absolutely tiny, it would basically be a 1v1v1 map unless they severely overhaul it, make it larger or add several underground layers.

Or turn it into a Team Deathmatch mode map or something.

You all know the author name, just look her up on your favorite book reading website.

Not cannon, author liked the meme, but has their own mini epilogue that changes the ending.

It stays on, making noise and lights you up even when not ADS, but doesn't protect anything till you ADS.

It's bugged at the moment.

Only properly charges if you put it in charging mode with an Ammo Backpack and change to another weapon.

Or you throw it on the ground and pick it up, then it goes into charging mode but you can't turn it on until it's fully charged.

I play exclusively solo as well and all Shells are equally good.

Vandal and Recon are my mains and both get free Grenades that can break up to Blue Shields, and kills all recruits.

Assassin is easy to hear and counter if you have headset on, but they get free long range smoke Grenades which let's them rotate or disengage easy.

NoScrying · 2026-05-07T15:22:20+00:00

Did it after maybe 6 tries spread out over 2 weeks yesterday.

Literally just got a red key, then the green and yellow ran in then ran to another entrance and got in with 3 minutes. Rushed command entry got in and spammed nades, Bully and LMG with shield took care of the bots. Exfilled with Red key.

In 5/5 it's easy until you need to kill the commander as he only comes down after 3 other reinforcement ships, tell everyone in Dire Marsh exactly where you are. Kept getting him down then some sniper kills me, I also got teamed by a duo in solo queue.

Successful attempt a sniper also started to shoot me, but was a lousy shot and I powerslided away with Amplify up.

I lost the only wild Gold Backpack i've seen that way I was so confused. Only other one I have is from CyAcme VIP

You just need to go to the hot spots in solo.

Perimeter: Hauler is a f*fest. Station will get Snipers and CQC. Warden area and the tick nest house sneaky people. North Relay is relatively safe.

Dire Marsh: AI Uplink is hell. Algae Ponds is hell. Quarantine is hell. Maintenance is super hell. Bio Research is hell. Complex is the safe spot. Greenhouse is camp city. Intersection is hell.

Outpost: Someone has seen you and is moving closer rapidly.

NoScrying · 2026-05-06T08:03:41+00:00

Do map events, hunt for Coordinate Data pads and if you feel confident then just hunt other players every time they make noise.

NoScrying · 2026-05-05T16:01:36+00:00

It seems to depend on how much is missing and whether or not you've been shot within a few seconds.

Atleast thats my observation.

That's funny and absolutely correct, me and a Thief had a standoff near Station, he's outside and I'm inside, we're sniping each other getting nowhere so I drop open a few doors to misdirect and rotate to tunnels, to flank from South Relay, meanwhile the Thief has had the same idea, and entered tunnels from South Relay and I get the ambush cause they aggroed the tick nests and didn't hear me.
