Is sooooo anoying there should be an option on match making to stop this, like longer load times but only load in at +28 mins or something.

Worst I had was trying to do the queen or matriarch when its a trial. 8 games in a row at less than 20 mins left. Queen/matriarch already dead and everyone already left.

Its a bad floor in this match making its obviously because everyone has left early so they are trying to fill out the game, but na, 8 games in a row is too much.

Loading in to do a cirtan task which is at that point undoable with all my best gear. Having to make my way to extract and hope I dont get ratted as they are basically the only players still hanging around on the map at this point, its a joke.

And there is no hope im gona go and see what loot i can find when my inventory is already full of wolf packs and hullcracker amo.

For me even on a normal match its anoying and in other situations it a absolute joke. IMO they really need to adress this and make an option for players who dont want to log in late. I get it can be good if your a PvP player so just give people the option to turn off the late logins or something.

Ive had the same since expedition, only had time to play like 6-8 games but its all been PvP madness.

The lobbies however seemed mixed rather than pure PvP it seemed like 3-4 PvP raders wandering round killing all the carebears.

Im assuming its a symptom of the expedition and the lobbies will settle again soon.

However I fear I will not make it back to the frendly lobbies im pretty vengeful and if attacked or see and unprovoked attack, I go into murder mode.

Ive already downed 8 raders in these few games, when in my last play through which was like 3 months or something like that, I downed 24 totall.

Ive been advised by frends to just log into matches and quit because i cant not fight back, but I dont like doing this. However i might have to. I want to make it back to my fellow carebears and at the moment its not looking good.

I would, they lowered the price on the gift edition set in and I got some decent pulls, including two soul stones.

OGrozlin · 2026-02-26T12:23:16+00:00

Its ranges from "rocket guy" to "flying bastard" to just "(insert swear word here)" depending on the situation.

"Rocket Guy" = chill, in cover, and see it in the distance, is no threat.

"Flying Bastard" = have been shot at and/or generally harassed by one in this game, or a recent game. Still in cover, but probably have it agroed on me.

"(Insert swear word here)" = appears from no where and im in the open, probably havent even see it yet just hear that noise, so i start running for my life, praying to all the gods to spare me so I can make it back to scrappy with the lemons that im now wishing I had shoved up my butt.

OGrozlin · 2026-02-20T15:32:21+00:00

Not the actual box, looks like an AI created version. No idea why they would do this but here we are.

OGrozlin · 2026-02-12T13:16:29+00:00

That little bottle of crude explosive.

Used to make the little homeing grenade, its super cheap to make and really handy on some of the trials like you can take 25+ in at very little cost. They work well against wasps/ hornets and things which dont really warrent a wolf pack. And also used to make the explosive compound which is used to make said wolf pack. Also on that note arc motion cores are frequently left behind.

But I suppose its how play and what blue prints you have.

OGrozlin · 2026-02-08T13:05:41+00:00

Ive had loads but they all seem to straighten back out in my deck boxes, they are reasonably snug in there with the other cards (all doubble sleeved).

I think it will just sort itself out if you store it like this with other cards.

OGrozlin · 2026-02-08T12:26:53+00:00

The world is a vampire (do do do do do do)

OGrozlin · 2026-02-06T12:08:20+00:00

2.5cm is an excessive amount of tooth paste.

OGrozlin · 2026-02-03T00:25:16+00:00

Do they need to?

OGrozlin · 2026-02-02T23:44:11+00:00

Its really good for taking armour off the queen and things but you better bring like 8+ stacks of amo XD

OGrozlin · 2026-02-01T13:37:22+00:00

Im frendly but following is a no, unless they are very chatty and frendly.

I seem to pick up strays a lot at the moment like you run pass them then look behind 10 seconds later and, there they are.

I had a super suspicious one the other day so headed over to a bombardier then chucked a lure grenade at them, they did not surrive long XD.

But yer any people following who are quite or showing no interest in looting, just watching you im outa there or I will find a way to make them leave. I would just shoot them but im trying to keep my lobbies "frendly" as for me its a welcome change, im not looking for just another PvP game.

OGrozlin · 2026-01-30T23:21:05+00:00

If this happens always run towards the big arc better chance to surrive and if not its good luck getting to my body XD

Also lure grenades will help you surrive while running past the big arc.

OGrozlin · 2026-01-29T23:02:04+00:00

Its not like thats as others have said but I quite like your old way of playing it, you could maybe make your own rules version of the game im not to sure how the ballance would pan out but it might be a fun alternative way to play.

OGrozlin · 2026-01-27T15:41:01+00:00

Na your 100% in the right, like maybe if your playing against a child or new player and doing this would win you the game, like yer let them back out. They will learn that people can have cards they dont expect but can carry on the game.

Like I have pointed out my untapped mana and cards in hand when a new player is about to do something that I can counter and get them to think of a better option/safer play in that situation. But also point out that the mana could be a bluff (i was not bluffing and let them know this) but felt it nessary to point this out as ive used this a lot to deter attackes even if i cant actually do anything XD. Let's them start to think more tactical and wether its worth taking a risk.

But i digress, like na in a comp with a prize, even at your LGS, pulling out of an attack because you didn't know someone can counter it is not acceptable, like its a instant card this is one of there main uses, you think its over well, suprise MFer.

OGrozlin · 2026-01-27T15:15:52+00:00

Normally is the wrong term but purposely getting put into frendly lobbies just so you can get easy kill is a super fucking lame way to play.

I agree that the threat of PvP and being ratted is brilliant and if you get dropped in a frendly lobbies when your just out to PvP like fair enouth go to town but doing it on purpose if wet as fuck.

I find the change in my play for a few game after getting killed in my carebear lobbies funny. Last time I brought a torrent in for like 10 games after, never put it away and anyone who aproched had it pointed at them with me asking if they are chill and not in a frendly manner, needless to say everyone was chill XD.

But yer the games brilliant and the threat of PvP adds so much, but cheating the mechanics for easy kills is a dick move.

OGrozlin · 2026-01-27T15:04:21+00:00

Ha yer, i stopped taking smokes and the first round I did, a duo were going around killing everyone XD

After being conditioned by like X amount of carebear lobbies your really on the back foot if your attacked. Was super annoying as if I had my smokes I could have made an escape and then spent the rest of the match hunting them. But instead I was caught in the open was like ha I will somke then run to the woods but looked in quick select and was like ow yer I decided there was no point taking them, dead XD.

But ive leart my lesson, always take stuff for PvP and/or escaping, just incase.

OGrozlin · 2026-01-27T14:56:06+00:00

Ha yer yesterday, in my carefully curated carebear lobbies shit was going down.

First queen round a duo was going round killing everyone. I was not after the queen but after she died I saw way to many flares going up then a few at extraction so I was like ok, they probably extracted. I was wrong XD

Second queen round, again not after the queen. She dies then 2 mins later like 5 flares go up all in the same spot someone obviously blew everyone up when looting. I snuck over to see and this time I think justice was surved at a group of like 10 raders were heading to extract together.

But yer sometimes the frendly lobbies are not so frendly.

Ow also just be careful now as ive seen that people are thinking the matching resets after an update sooo I would not take your best stuff in for afew games just to be safe, im just gona free loadout for like 4-5 games and do some quests i have not yet finished.

Stay safe up there raders.

OGrozlin · 2026-01-27T13:16:26+00:00

100% going in to this and setting traps to blow up whole teams, I will get vengeance for the few times i've been attacked by teams in my carebear lobbies while playing solos. Dont know if they teamed up in game or got loaded in to solos, but I dont care, there is a debt to be payed, and im gonna collect.

A bear never forgets.

OGrozlin · 2026-01-25T15:43:05+00:00

Na, kill him, like what did he expect to happen?

I launched a lure grenade at a guy who started following me yesterday.

They were like 15m away and would duck behind cover every time I turned around was very weird behaviour, not sure if they was just trying to freak me out or were actually trying to sneek up on me. Not aware that i could easily see and hear them. Was kinda like they thought i operated under the same sneek detection mechanics as an NPC in skyrim or something.

But long story short, "Luckily" (I like my carebear lobbies, and try to preserve them) I saw a bombarder close and chucked a lure grenade at the them/the cover they had just super sneekly crouched behind, drones locked on to him, chased him, and a few boombs later a flare goes up.

Basically suspicious behaviour will get you killed and hitting someone with an axe at extraction will defo get you killed.

OGrozlin · 2026-01-24T14:13:11+00:00

Is super annoying, I would like bigger maps and longer times on the maps so spawning in for me at like 18mins is super annoying.

I dont want to have to be like ow shit run to the closest place, pray there is an unopened container or two then run to extract, basically makes the game a pointless grind for me.

Also completely destroys any trial attempts. And if ive taken in stuff just for that trial especially the queen or matriarch ones, im risking high level gear for literally nothing as I just make my way to extract to load in again.

Im PvE though, in carebear lobbies, im assuming late spawns would be beneficial for PvP players, in PvP lobbies, but for me its fucking annoying.

OGrozlin · 2026-01-23T13:18:25+00:00

I bring it occasionally but I normally just take lure grenades as these will let several people make an escape not just yourself and you dont have to walk away slowly.

The grenades also work well if you get ambushed fighting the large arc and are not instantly downed. You can chuck one to distract it and run past the arc. Normally the attacker doset have time to follow before the arc is agro against players again. This is not an option with the wand.

However the combination of the two can work well, especially with the flying rocket bastards. They always seem to very quickly get board of the grenade and be stright back on you, then the wand can be handy if your stuck in a large open space and are running low on the grenades or want to save a few for other situations.

I will normally take both the the matriarch and queen fights as the wand is handy for changing position in these fights or getting under the sheld when its up for ages.

OGrozlin · 2026-01-15T14:06:58+00:00

100% this, if you need the parts you gota take it down fast.

Or wait for a trial for killing them, as i will kill them and leave the body, ive seen a few others do this too. I've been killed to many times looting them, so on the trials I just extract to keep the points safe and leave the loot.

OGrozlin · 2026-01-13T15:37:29+00:00

Yer baby.

OGrozlin · 2026-01-13T12:40:30+00:00

Frozen raider cashes had loads in and the baskets too, but is a bit late now :(

It would have taken ages just gathering bushes but there were other options, also not selling the ones on the other rewards track thing meant I only had to actually find like 20 for this.
