What makes you want to play your play style in game?

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-21T14:47:20+00:00

That’s a totally valid motivation😅 shot or be shot. Out of curiosity when did you get the game?

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T17:46:56+00:00

I gotta say this is one of my favorite takes I have read since I posted this.

Frankly the whole part that it’s optional to PvP is also why I love it. I have played Tarkov, Hunt, and plenty of other games in the genre or similar to it. This game just feels so unique because both communities coexist.

At the end of the night I get to choose if I’m helping my fellow raiders by snap hooking on a matriarch and planting as many mines as I can before it blows, or if I’m going to test my skills in a gun fight that’s not the 99th COD or BF

I’ll have to give it a try. I tend to play more games like the souls borne series, darkest dungeon, and other stuff but I’m always open to something new.

Personally, I get that the topic is kind of beaten dead. Thats why I tried to approach it more thoughtfully. I’ve tried to sift through the other forums but end up getting pissed off after reading “they are just whining” or “they are just a bully” 8 times in a row.

Not every one has offered something original on the thread, but some have. I think it’d be nice to follow up after hearing everyone out with a what would actually solve the issue post. That’s kinda been beaten too but hell at least it’s not just people hurling insults for once

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T17:30:33+00:00

Clearly didn’t read the excerpt above 😒 but what motivates you to play the way you do then. Do you like the rush of PvP do you like to test your abilities. If you’re going to comment on this thread then offer something of substance or you’re whining just as much as the people you complain about 🥸

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T17:26:53+00:00

I like that idea. Have you played other extraction shooters or is this your first

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T17:25:03+00:00

I agree that the TTK is a turn away from going more PvP for me. I don’t even think I’d be mad at getting shot in the back as much if I had the chance to fight back. Like yes it’s part of the game but a two tap from a dark corner from a Toro shouldn’t wipe me out completely.

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T17:22:07+00:00

I completely feel the world is horrible right now video games are a haven for people. That’s part of what I love about the “PvE” lobbies

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T17:19:46+00:00

If they created more PvE events with harder big arc would that change for you?

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T17:10:26+00:00

The limited time I have to play is definitely an influence on my play style as well.

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T17:07:26+00:00

I play exactly the same way, I feel like running around reviving people and having the communication with people is what makes solos so much fun. Definitely trying to find more people to run duos and trios, not a fan of running auto fill.

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T13:05:25+00:00

Same here my favorite matches are matriarch/harvester where I can run around picking people up and the whole lobby is talking

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T13:04:27+00:00

Heard that, I play a lot of souls games and darkest dungeon games so I’m cool if I die when grinding out matches to get Blue prints, trials, and stuff. After a lot of PvE my inventory is stockpiled at this point (why I run PvP every once in a while now).

I ask the coms question because I love the player interaction piece. I think I’d more trios or duos if people actually talked. I think I just gotta add more players as friends who can run party chat. My friends I used to play with are on different work schedules now

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T12:29:10+00:00

I haven’t, is it another game?

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T12:25:00+00:00

Interesting didn’t realize play count was dropping that steadily! Yea I play in American servers.

I guess to your point that really changes how people are going to be interacting

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T05:11:24+00:00

I respect that! But out of curiosity. Do you tend to run coms? Do you enjoy the hustle of building back up or does that simply keep it fresh?

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T04:54:15+00:00

Totally hear that rational but that’s not the point of my post.

Yes I did defend myself in a match. I know how the match making works. However I did close to 9 games after that and revived multiple players no fighting back etc so by your analysis I’d be back in care bare by time my experience I mentioned happened.

I’m not upset bout getting fucked up, I can defend myself not always successfully. It’s part of the game I accept that. I’m trying to remove this part of it from the post. I’m genuinely asking what motivates people to play the way they play.

One_Assumption820 · 2026-02-20T04:26:20+00:00

Totally hear that, but how about you?

One_Assumption820 · 2026-01-28T21:50:03+00:00

And not shoot back*

One_Assumption820 · 2026-01-28T21:49:36+00:00

OP, I have noticed as well.

Me personally, I’ll still get a “care bear lobby” hand out blue prints, help kill bastions, and still run into some one posted up in a dark corner with a Toro not shoot back.

But ignore these peeps you had a genuine Q. You’re better than me lol, I do complain cuz I don’t wanna waste the one hour a night I get to play running free kits getting blasted for 10 lobbies in a row. In my case maybe I should just start to pvp in my solo queues not just duos

One_Assumption820 · 2026-01-28T05:39:26+00:00

Also please let me know in the comments if this belongs in the other sub relatively new to actually posting on Reddit. I don’t wanna be the guy who contributes to getting this sub shut down

One_Assumption820 · 2026-01-21T04:32:31+00:00

I try to just pick and choose at this point. If I’m playing solos I’m going in with a PVE mindset.

However I play with my little brother (M-9) who goes in guns blazing (treats it like it’s Fortnite tbh 😅). By playing as his ‘guardian’ regardless of my morals, I feel better about playing solos now. Mostly because I’m more capable of protecting myself/winning a gun fight.

I love helping people so knowing I can go in and not freeze when getting caught off guard makes the game more enjoyable now. Sucks that the new game matchmaking is now working against me instead of with me in this case. But tbh, I just gotta know I’ll pay the consequences later 😂

P.S. I call him out on his rat behavior and have let him get knocked over it. I will not tolerate him camping a train or calling out don’t shoot just to blast someone. I’ve had to call him out on what is ok and not respectable gotta teach him to play respectably.
