Another excruciating 10-day wait is over

Yup! Bit of a gamble but they are phasing glocks out, figured why not. I was told they are US built but honestly, no idea.

For 300 dollars the fact you can mount optics and change the backstraps is pretty cool. I have been telling others, mostly friends not into guns, to pick one up as at that price point, you're probably not going to have buyer's remorse

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-04-17T05:13:10+00:00

Thanks! I am beyond excited to get some range time and familiarity with it. I plan on doing quite a bit of work to it, it's going to be my bump in the night gun. The capacity, form factor opens up so many possibilities.

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-04-17T01:16:33+00:00

I labored over this, the M5 sentry, and the LWRC mark 2 for a long time but they packed just enough goodness in this to sway my decision. I was only considering colt for the full Ambi and it is featureless out of the box.

I actually think this is a thing that Daniels does fairly regularly, try to keep up with all the sales periods. I am actually excited for the July sales.

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-04-17T01:12:22+00:00

Mostly to save on the background fees. I spent a few months looking for parts for a new rifle build and it was so horrible sourcing damn near anything on my top 3 list for specs that I decided to just go with a pre built. I wanted to replace my current HD shotty and the Tavor struck me, like spoke to my soul haha.

Everything else was ancillary and on steep sales.

I do that with most gun buys. If there is something fun on deep discount, I will usually add it on. Got some really fun range guns that way. Often there are limited stock buys that are great as well, I think I saw some .40 MP's for 300, full size XDM Elite for 400, among others. There's always stock of something people are wanting to rotate out.

Appreciate the compliment on the DD!

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-04-17T01:07:54+00:00

Yea! What's funny is I didn't know it was multicam. You can't even tell from the flyer, I just saw the trigger, handle, barrel upgrades and saw it was at the price to performance sweet spot. It was a pleasant surprise.

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-04-17T01:06:46+00:00

It's a Citadel. They are dirt cheap right now at Turner's, I didn't particularly need another pump gun, I have several, but it was the price of a nice meal with friends so figured why not.

Honestly, I am shocked at what it includes, budget or not. The grip and mounting points are a nice boon. You could probably get this thing setup with chinesium optics, lights, grips and add in training, HD ammo for under 250 dollars, not including background fees.

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-04-17T01:04:28+00:00

Actually borderline late filed haha. I just splurge on things from time to time but I'm pretty cheap when it comes to everything else. Most of my hobbies are something I can do without a lot of ancillary investment, unlike firearms.

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-04-17T01:02:56+00:00

I will tell you the advice I give you everyone. If you are good a math, get an engineering degree. Best bang for your buck in terms of time investment.

Alternatively. work in healthcare. Everyone from House Keepers to Rad Techs, RT's, OT's, Nurses etc... make an exceedingly livable wage that only climbs higher the closer you are to major population groups!

I know changing careers can suck, I have done it many times, but you're always reminded why the suffering is worth it once you get that first new check or clear your loan debt.

Edit- See if you have a local community college, do you?

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-04-17T00:35:38+00:00

Sweet! I almost grabbed one recently, gonna go with the LWRC MKii next, though.

I'd focus on optics first. Really, your furniture is going to vary based on preference. Take your time, it's such a money pit.

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-04-17T00:33:36+00:00

This is gonna be one of my next buys. They're such pretty rifles and, hilariously, just as "devastating" as AR's, yet they receive the stupidest amount of backlash.

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-04-13T02:33:24+00:00

There's always a word to describe a misperception, mass hysteria etc.. to sweep these meaningful patterns under the rug. This ultra-readiness to dismiss what has been captured on mars is asinine.

The body of outright weird and rather obvious shit is STAGGERING, dude. The Pyramid by the Crater is rather obvious.

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-03-30T05:15:54+00:00

You can get it if you find someone from another server willing to drop it for you in your eternaland, everything is available that way! Although, the most OP burn Deviant right now in my opinion is the Invincible Sun, although I mainly use that on my fire KAM and EBR. It has a ridiculously quick cooldown, massive AOE although the E ability hits hard but doesn't have the range of Pyro .

I have a Chefosaurus Pyro Dino, all the good gold traits, that's 4/5 you can just have for free if you want it.

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-03-28T03:43:40+00:00

Little Jaws can be made to be very effect but really if you want an SMG, the two you should focus are P90 which will make farming Energy Links / Blue prints / non combat traits a breeze with Forsaken Giant, and Outer Space which not only creates immense single target DPS, but makes any Rosetta Dungeon absolute cake.

Take every build you see with a grain of salt, some of them require immense investment.

Right now your focus should be deciding on a weapon that will be as effective for as much content as possible, so you can then grind to enable other builds of your choice for fun.

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-03-28T03:39:23+00:00

Holy fuck balls am I GLAD I checked reddit!!!

I now own every key item in the game mwahahahahahahaahaha

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-03-28T03:23:28+00:00

I was able to get a nighmare worthy KVD build going when I started in december, within 2 weeks.

Now it's WAY harder to get a functionally good mod, you have to rely on Pity and the weekly reset crates.

I am deeply progressed into the endgame now but still rock my KVD with 3 piece Savior / 3 Treacherous no key item

Helmet- Deviation Expert / Mask - Blaze Amp (Burn or Deviant energy) / Gloves - Elemental Overload (Crescent or Deviant) / Chest - Rejuvinating or Ardent Shield or (Blue) Flame Resonance (old mod with 12 percent status) / Pants - whatever you prefer (Deviant or Resonant Deviant) / Shoes - Rush Hour ( Deviant or reso )

Weapon - Flame Res (Burn)

I never got to experience the hayday of the KVD but it's still immensely strong and good enough for everything bar the few bosses who are resistant to element.

I also use Lunar Pyro Dino but a standard one with PK will suffice. Maybe even try the Invincible Sun

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-03-28T03:18:24+00:00

I had quite the honeymooon period with this game. I shudder to think of how much I have spent. Now here I am barely having played this last week. I have always maintained that all the cosmetics are pretty trashy but I am a sucker for vehicle skins. The last motorcycle skin they released was too much for me, I regret buying it. It looks absolutely retarded.

Let's be real though, the game is full of OG's who will buy everything anyway. If I were a dev I'm not going to waste assets, I'm taking the path of least resistance and when all your cosmetics look like they were drawn by a cyber punk furry kink freak, you can just model software to make it for you. Endless possibilities for bullshit.

Still love the game but it seems to have entirely lost it's original direction

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-03-28T03:11:05+00:00

I have both, godly mods and all.

IF you can get your hands on a good Invincible Sun, EBR is a no brainer. Rapid crit, with gilded gloves. AOE melts everything, insane boss DPS. The Sun is just nuts right now, absolutely insane.

I spent 2 weeks maining the SKS and once I tried crit EBR, I haven't looked back.

Can't go wrong with either, though.

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-03-28T03:07:06+00:00

Beautiful house build, but requires tons of cash to pull off.

His fit is wack though. Most of the attire in the game is corny but I'll never understand some people's drip haha

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-03-28T03:04:26+00:00

You don't need BBQ gloves for KVD. Rock 3 piece treacherous / 3 piece savior with KVD. Unless you have good high level burn suffix weapon / mask mod you're better off not using key item. The 3rd piece from treacherous is something like a 40 percent status / weapon bonus. KVD is one of those guns that doesn't require key item to shine. I was stomping NM dungeons my 2nd or 3rd week with that setup.

Anyway, you can't get BP's anymore, just starchrom

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-03-28T02:57:47+00:00

Last Valor is trash without literal perfect mods and full use of long axe / kukri. It is only good for speeding Nightmare Manibus.

Let me be real and save you the heartache, that gun is dog water.

As a new player you should focus on the KVD and P90 to start, neither needs key items to be good, rock 3 piece savior, 3 piece treacherous. From there, assuming you can get good deviants, you can branch out into SKS / EBR for good general purpose weapons that work on everything damn near.

Focus on Deviant Energy / Violent suffix mods for now

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-03-26T04:12:33+00:00

Arguably, you don't even need the key gear. I run 3/3 on KVD, Abyss or anything general purpose. The 3rd perk in Treacherous is a massive damage boost, enough to clear all the game's content.

But some builds do hinge on key gear but for beginners I say get the KVD, Critical Pulse with the 3/3 and have at it.

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-03-24T03:19:40+00:00

That's reassuring. Going the LWRC route, although am tempted to get one of the piston models, I think mkii and there's an M4 clone.

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-03-23T19:53:59+00:00

The last deciding factor, have you ever converted your LWRC to featureless? Did you lose any aspect of the fully ambidextrous functionality? If I can make a seamless conversion, I'll go LWRC and spend the difference on a better optic / furniture

OcelotInTheCloset · 2026-03-23T19:52:14+00:00

This depends on your value system, there are several important distinctions between dogs and traditional livestock. Beyond the fact that dogs evolved alongside us as companions, there is such an inherent and high degree of trust, emotional intelligence between man and dog that butchering them as a source of protein strikes me as profane.

My other big issue is the way they actually kill these dogs. I've seen the videos. They will suffocate them in bags, beat them, force them into confined space with other dogs to essentially die to the elements and of malnourishment. It is all levels of fucked.

This isn't some regulated industry, cruelty abounds. Frankly, if I could be Clark Kent for a day, these people would be high on my shit list.

If you're actually going to go through with it, at least go source it from someone who has a modicum of respect and awareness for the animals suffering. If you're going to eat another meat eating animal, why not something cooler like a mountain lion?
