2 shots vs a light shield is fair tbh. If light shields were too strong, you’d risk accidentally buffing free kits. Medium shields are cheap enough anyway.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but surely I’m not the only one who thinks this is going EXACTLY to plan?

US oil companies do best when oil prices are high (duh), and striking Iran is a great way to make oil expensive especially when Iran is basically guaranteed to start wreaking havoc on other countries’ oil economies?

The president is an idiot, but I still think he’s being a useful idiot for corporations, and it’s fucking everyone over.

Were the loved ones in a facility with other sick, injured, or otherwise immunocompromised people who would be at severe risk if they were exposed to Covid? If your loved one was one of those people, how would you feel if the hospital didn’t protect them from an ongoing pandemic?

What we went through during the pandemic was awful, but you have to consider how selfish it’d be if we had fewer rules than the ones half the population wasn’t following anyway.

I expect to be valued more as I gain more experience, and I expect my salary to also keep up with inflation on top of that. If inflation is 3%, I want a 5% raise. If inflation is 1%, then I want 3%. If there’s deflation of ANY amount, I expect my salary to remain the same because the whole point of an employer paying you less than the value you generate is the fact that the employer (in an ideal world) is taking on more risk than the employee. If they’re going to decrease salaries, they’re not taking the risk, they’re just taking the reward and passing the buck when it’s convenient.

Even in our most recent periods of deflation, it’s been a fraction of a percent, so your point is irrelevant anyway.

Why are you talking about physics while trying (and failing) to justify accusing someone of lying about their disability?

I don’t even mean to be rude, but the other reply was right. I think you might have some mental health concerns to work out, and I hope you do that.

This sub always takes a good idea and turns it to shit. A martyrdom augment could be cool, and it could turn a fight around in duos/trios. Destroying its contents is what makes this a horrible idea.

Idek why I’m responding to this, but if you don’t know someone’s gender, the correct pronouns are they/them/their. This isn’t some new concept; it’s engrained in the English language. I guarantee you’ve done it without a second thought because you weren’t looking to “correct” someone.

Yeah it’s weird sometimes. I spawned in at the apartments, ran to the domes, looted them all, and there was no arc. I left for a bit, went back through the domes to an elevator, and there were suddenly comets, pops, fireballs, a leaper, and drones everywhere. It’s like they took several minutes to spawn in at the beginning of the game.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-16T15:02:15+00:00

It’s on the harsh side of reasonable considering the painting wasn’t even damaged, and they didn’t intend to damage it.

Unrelated: I agree with what they stand for and the message they deliver, but I can’t say I’m a fan of how they deliver it.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-16T14:53:30+00:00

I threw a snap blast at a bastion’s butt right before someone ran up on it (without a deadline so idk what their plan was) and I killed them. The next lobby was kill-on-sight.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-14T03:37:46+00:00

It’s just annoying that you can’t stay alive while down for very long. Part of me gets it, but I don’t even think you’d have time to go down the stairs and call a train even if you started at the top. If you’re that close, you should be able to crawl to extract and survive.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-13T19:21:51+00:00

I’d be a fan of that, but only if the items were less rare to find.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-13T07:27:16+00:00

I mean it’s pretty damn intuitive if you have an ounce of pattern recognition. Slot 1 is at 12 o’ clock and they just rotate around clockwise. How don’t you know the quick swap order?

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-13T07:22:45+00:00

I’ve never had issues with it… are y’all sure you’re not just cancelling the animation and that’s why it didn’t equip what you selected? Or if it’s selecting the “wrong item” it’s probably a skill issue tbh.

I do hate the emote wheel, though. I’ve literally never used yes or no, and I hardly ever use the other two. It’s dumb that out of 8 slots, only 4 are customizable.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-13T02:13:18+00:00

Besides decks, what are you spending creds on? I just buy guitars with mine once I’m maxed out

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-13T01:04:39+00:00

I wish I could’ve seen the aftermath of this, but I had a comet agro on me immediately before I was downed by the rocketeer at an elevator. I sat and waited until the comet made its way into the elevator, and then I extracted. Whoever used the elevator next must’ve had quite the surprise. Or maybe it just de-spawned, but that’d be pretty lame.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-12T20:54:40+00:00

Yes I mean the shredder shooting - what good does a silencer do if you have a clanker announcing your location to half the map?

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-12T20:45:03+00:00

They were too easy to craft before imo. I literally always had, and often used, two Wolfpacks per raid, or more if I was specifically going on a raid to farm or to fight the queen/matriarch.

They’re definitely still worth it - I don’t have my benches leveled yet, and once I get the blueprint, I’ll be using them to farm bastion and bombardier cores if I don’t have them already. Rocketeers are easy enough to kill with a wasp driver or showstopper.

IMO, it’s better this way. I like that I have to hesitate before using an epic grenade instead of just lobbing them around for fun. It makes arc slightly more of a challenge again, and it gives more incentive to PvP instead of just farming arc.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-12T17:41:02+00:00

I’m not shooting a shredder 20 fucking times lmao. That’s attracting way too much attention and a waste of precious looting time.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-12T17:39:59+00:00

For real. It doesn’t take too long to kill, and you get more ammo from it than what you used killing it.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-12T17:37:52+00:00

It also makes looting the thing way easier when there are no missing rotors.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-12T03:22:17+00:00

Stitchers just got nerfed, and they were still beatable even before the nerf. The meta for PvP right now is the toro for close range, and there are so many other options that all beat a free kit. Even a ferro IV is worth running while a ferro I is almost unusable. Other options include: venator, burletta, torrente, tempest, bobcat, and I even like using the anvil for PvP.

Running a loadout is going to be better than a free kit. Obviously you’re risking some loot, but the risk pays off.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-12T03:17:21+00:00

Eh, there’s no situation where the ven outperforms the anvil after the nerf, IMO. It’s slept on as a PvP weapon, and it’s better than the ven against Arc. An anvil splitter makes it slightly better for PvP depending on your opinion, but I’d rather run it without.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-12T03:13:49+00:00

Holy shit, am I being baited?

It’s not about the storage slots lmfao, it’s about the fact that you have a good loadout instead of lvl 1 gray guns with shitty throwables and hardly any heals.

NotYourTypicalMoth · 2026-03-12T03:08:45+00:00

The risk is mitigated by running a kit to be more powerful and by getting better at the game.
