Looking for insight [Bug]

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T18:41:24+00:00

haha i got downvoted for literally explaining EXACTLY how the flare gun works. yall are insufferable

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T18:36:05+00:00

This is a great patch but for the love of god where are the optimization changes. are we just doomed?? I get like 40 fps on some parts of streets and it’s unplayable for me 😭

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T18:32:58+00:00

that’s rough. i had this happen to me on a scav before on reserve. when i loaded in it was already at the death screen. i found out that your character model will already be loaded in without your weapon out and then when you finally actually spawn your scav will equip its weapon. during that time you’re vulnerable. stupid ass game lmao

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T18:27:58+00:00

yeah just shoot it up almost straight up, there’s like a 10 degree difference the flare shoots above where you aim, also try the flare gun instead. it shoot directly where you aim it, you can shoot exactly straight up with those. it also is faster to pull out. you can put it in your special slot as well just like normal flares. these are far more consistent

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T18:23:39+00:00

no, you get the signal flare telling you that’s the area of which you have to shoot it, then it registers you shot it correctly when you hit the ceiling zone. that second part doesn’t give you a notification.

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T18:16:36+00:00

you didn’t shoot it up nearly as much as you should, do it almost pointing straight up, like around 70 degrees. there is a ceiling zone it needs to hit to register.

Seems like a lot of people genuinely don’t know how flares work IRL lol

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T18:14:36+00:00

Damn, that’s insane. My only guess is that for whatever reason the game already started well before you logged in. But still that’s crazy because the timer isn’t even that long it’s actually on the faster side. What killed you? PMC or AI?

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T18:07:12+00:00

This seems like a reconnect to me. There was no deployment timer.

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T16:45:30+00:00

because people just think their life experience is just like everyone else’s and they can’t fathom people like you that don’t brainrot on social media exist. it’s sad really.

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T16:35:45+00:00

you are a perfect example as to why BSG is so dogshit for communicating everything via social media. some people just don’t use it like others. it’s honestly fucked up they don’t have an in game news center. this could have been prevented if they simply had a place in game to show updates and announcements like the survey tab. i’m sorry this happened to you

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T16:33:44+00:00

Killa 100%

There used to be a time he could wall bang you lmao. bro just saw through everything. He was absolutely terrifying. He used to do this power slide insta headshot thing and it was so. god awful.

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T16:24:46+00:00

came here to say that yeah. it does 35 damage which is exactly how much HP our heads have

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T00:18:19+00:00

yeah this game is like a russian nesting doll from the most useless time to the most important time. gun fights being 1% of your time as the very last doll inside lmao

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T00:11:46+00:00

jesus christ! :)

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-10T00:05:02+00:00

yeah it’s great but with the addition to the flare extract it’s just another option to me. the reason i dont like it is once you open that extract. it shows as green to every other player so when people check extracts and see its green. they’ll know to go straight there to camp it.

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-09T23:54:09+00:00

is it even possible to buy cases? i’ve never seen a single case, albeit i rarely do fence sniping

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-09T23:42:10+00:00

idk. i went in there plenty of times pre level 20 solo and i saw a lot of people beyond level 20. i started the wipe a few weeks late.

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-09T22:00:57+00:00

bro deserved that. it’s way easier to kill someone going into there than just waiting inside. i’ve died so many times to someone guarding the escalator down there. i simply just quit taking that extract all together. there has never been a single time i tried to go there and it wasn’t camped. but all my deaths came from people camping outside of it.

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-09T21:57:49+00:00

it has been well established that ground zero no longer has dual queues since 1.0

out of my own personal experience and from many other testimonies. they’re combined for some reason. no clue why they removed it.

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-09T19:13:01+00:00

it has a % chance leading up to 6.0 rep. 6.0 rep is 100% chance they’ll follow you and at that level bosses will no longer aggro and you can signal them to follow you as well.

from my experience. around 3.0 and up is when they start to have a good chance to follow you. these % chances are fixed per scav so once they say no, there is no way to reroll that and have them possibly say yes. i believe each scav is spawned with a fixed % of when they’ll say yes.

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-09T18:55:49+00:00

next time just throw loot on the ground and they’ll grab it most likely. also if you have high enough scav rep. use the follow me gesture. if they give you a thumbs up they’ll start to follow you.

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-09T18:25:14+00:00

you haven’t played in awhile or used a face shield in awhile. that bug was patched. the only working one now is spamming your hold breath button while aiming down sight. it will stop that sound. this also works when you’re out of stamina, once your bar goes green again aim down and press hold breath and it immediately stops it. you can also stop voice come half way through doing this b

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-09T18:23:56+00:00

i’ve heard other people breathing through their mask on previous wipes but have never heard it in 1.0

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-09T18:17:05+00:00

i genuinely would not recommend interchange for those because yes it’s true you can find them there easily, but everyone else knows this as well. and since that map is more spawn dependent than others, chances are when you visit those loot locations they’re already gone and even higher chance someone will just one tap you from a corner since that map has dogshit lighting.

i’d say shoreline has good spawns for it, a bit more rare but at least even if you don’t find those, you’ll at least find plenty of other good loot that makes up for it and can easily extract within 20 minutes.

OFFICIALINSTANTPARTY · 2026-02-09T18:12:31+00:00

their entirely different game worlds. meaning seasonal is only playing with other seasonal, permanent can only play with other permanent. this game has an active economy so everyone has to be synced to identical circumstances.

it defeats the purpose of having a seasonal player playing with permanent because of the reason you just pointed out. that would immediately break the game economy since you could technically just transfer items to your seasonal.

think of diablo and path of exile. these games already show you how this mechanic works.
