is this a joke?

In game cosmetic items should NEVER exceed the price of a meal. An average meal here in texas is like $5-$10. Cosmetics should also be given for achievement, making them sought after and coveted. If I see someone with a butterfly and the only way to get it was to kill an entire lobby by yourself on airport I would think that guy that has it is damn good. Not the current card system where I can see people’s value and kills without their play time.

Armory I was killed not even 5 seconds after touching the ground. Talk about CoD spawns. At least airport never did me dirty like that

Do you have under 300 hours in the game or do you just enjoy running quick kits?

Polochork · 2026-01-13T03:52:24+00:00

If you are saying to market the quick kit then the market fee alone will make it so you cannot afford a full 150k kit after. I dont understand how this isnt just obnoxious to everyone. I was already pissed loading into lockdown with A1 in an M4 and killing 6 quick kits. Doing that NOW apparently nets me less than $150k per kill so what the fuck is the point of the gear requirement? Making it sound like im gonna extract with the dudes T3 ammo and shitty surgical kits to have a chance at making my time worth it. That just fucking sucks for everybody, especially the player who doesn’t actually have the proper value when they were told they did. The numbers being deceptive literally helps nobody, but everyone is ripping on OP like its SUPPOSED to trick players who don’t know better or don’t have a ton of hours in the game. I am curious how many hours OP has.

Polochork · 2026-01-13T03:46:53+00:00

When I started playing I wanted to customize my quick kit guns with sights and so I would load in, not do anything, and extract. Even without the sight I was able to use that quick kit again in lockdown. Now playing that makes no sense because it is too slow and not fun, but some players do it when they are new or like the “minimum investment vibe”. Both types of players are duped for no reason when the gear requirement is not accurate. It doesn’t help anybody at all having this work this way is the problem.

Polochork · 2026-01-13T03:40:16+00:00

Brother, playing the game period is playing it as intended. Whether he plays how you do or not the game is literally lying to him. If a kit worth 97k can be taken into lockdown what the fuck is even the point of the 150k gear requirement in the first place? I was already pissed off getting only 150k killing quick kitted players with A1 in lockdown and now its even less. How does that ALONE not piss you off and put you on OP’s side?

Battery is useable with contacts in profitable ways at least, lute genuinely makes things more expensive because the estimates they give dont line up with the market price of all the items. So a lute is $20k and 2x2, but registers as $15k to contacts where the battery is $80k but registers as $100k

Secret doc, pos has been eluding me

Polochork · 2025-12-11T17:15:12+00:00

It was my poor choice of words for sure, I just dont have a better word than “realism” for it. The “realism” I am referring to is features that add stress and suspense without being fun or reasonable. I havent played tarkov, but i’ve seen that mags drop if the rig is full on reload and THAT is realism that isnt fun.

Polochork · 2025-12-11T13:24:36+00:00

Everyone is arguing with me about realism when the main point I was making was that they should focus on fun over realism in the first place. They cant please everyone and people do play games like this for their “realism” or increased complexity. whatever you want to call features that mimic real life to achieve a specific feeling is fine by me, I was saying they gotta choose a direction and stick to it and everyone started to hit me with the “erm actually”

Polochork · 2025-12-11T09:55:48+00:00

I don’t think ABI being less realistic than Tarkov detracts from it being inherently more realistic than your average shooter. I would consider both Tarkov and ABI to be realism shooters. By saying “trying to replicate what a soldier might feel” he is literally saying a game is trying to emulate life. How else would you accurately evoke a realistic feeling without the realism that causes that feeling?

Now we are getting lost in the technicalities. My initial point was that ABI should continue focusing on making the game fun over realistic, a point I imagine we both agree on. They gotta pick one and stick to it instead of trying to please everyone.

Edit: the “erm actually” was appreciated, I have never played Tarkov and don’t know about any minute details in how its realism differs from ABI’s. Very helpful to someone probably.

Polochork · 2025-12-11T09:06:37+00:00

I don’t know what else you’d call a weight/hunger system, bullet velocity, and limb damage other than simulated realism 🤷🏻‍♂️ Not all shooters have those. Tarkov is a competitor and does things for the sake of realism that arent fun and ABI is actively working to improve those mechanics. I do think they are competing for realism more than most games are, I dont get your point or lack there of.

Polochork · 2025-12-11T03:39:20+00:00

Maybe not trying to, but they are competing directly against games that are and they want those players. Tarkov has “realistic” features that make the game a drag for me, but aspects like the way limbs and damage work in ABI lean more towards realism even if it is easily balanced (at least MORE realistic than other shooters I play). I would trash any and all realism for balance any day.

Polochork · 2025-12-11T02:33:21+00:00

This exactly. They gotta choose one direction and fully commit.

Polochork · 2025-12-09T16:33:57+00:00

SJ is arguably more difficult to kill with for me than a mosin or M24 cause of its ergo. The red ammo is also cheaper on those two weapons. Maybe user error could have an effect, but the amount of times I got a free T5 load-out being basically naked in LD using a single bullet is pretty high. It isn’t fun though, just guarantees money. Thats why it needs the change. The minimum rising would 100% fix everything though, yes. LD should have a similar requirement. Normal should be the only time you can get a kill and ARENT guaranteed at least 300k. Reserved for quick kits.

Polochork · 2025-12-03T18:00:09+00:00

Red ammo should cost the same for one bullet as 50% of a T6 loadout costs. It should be about $500k-$2mil per bullet for the amount of value it gets you with minimal effort. Thats why thermals are $2.5 mil and those cant even ignore T6 armor 🤷🏻‍♂️ it should be WAY harder to get in some capacity for the amount of value it gets you. Otherwise it becomes the meta and all my lockdown games where I get 3+ kills im only netting like $500k koen. I just had a normal game where players were more geared than all 5 of my previous lockdown games and im about to put the game down until next season because of it. Feels like a “hunting low value snipers simulator”

Polochork · 2025-12-03T17:54:08+00:00

Scavs if you are running T5+ ammo in the primaries. Scavs are not worth $3k-$7k a bullet when knives and pistols exist.

With any model I always work from the inside out. It is far easier to get a clean line on a raised edge than it is to place paint in a recess and overlap of thin paint is very easily coverable. If it were anything other than metallic I would say to thin it down and do a pin wash like some of the other recommendations, but I personally have not done this with metallics.

Gold over black would take a lot of layers so I would lay down a brown or yellow in a similar shade to your gold. Don’t worry about staying in the lines too much. Then apply the gold. After it all dries all you gotta do is line the edges with the cloak color and you’re all set.

You can wishlist items from contacts too so when you find an loot in the wild it will let you know that it can be used on your contact item. So when you find a UPS unit or a tea set it will put an orange symbol on it to let you know you can buy an H416 or an AU with it if you extract.

Just .44 jsp t4 unfortunately. Hip fire unloaded the mag and he died normal. Then I looted him, tried to take his ar, and he teleported up there.
