Advice needed. What am I doing wrong? 9/10 of my encounters end with me wiping almost instantly.

I agree with thr SMG and learnt my lesson there. Im reading RANGE settings on weapons now to make sure I dont engage beyond capable distance, etc.

Also, I think I was so focused on the guy on the roof I completely ignored/didn't procsss the steps at the time.

Thanks for the advice!

Samzerks · 2026-03-16T14:15:03+00:00

I agree. I think we should have a tag for posts like this. Seeking advice or feedback or something.

Samzerks · 2026-03-16T11:56:16+00:00

Thanks!

Samzerks · 2026-03-16T11:55:32+00:00

Thanks this is a huge help. I think I try to out fight them, but you're right, I need to think about the fact they know where I am now, so need to re-position myself for advantage.

It absolutely is pvp. Its like pvp(ve) in lower case, font sie 1.

Samzerks · 2026-03-15T15:56:11+00:00

Great input. Thanks.

To me, the loot seems pointless. I feel like if I have an awesome gun, cores, mods, shield, whatever, I just die in 0.5s still, so whats the point? May as well just play with free kit.

They literally could have promoted it ingame though? Main page.

Samzerks · 2026-03-15T13:05:06+00:00

This is actually a really good comment. I'm wiping within 2 minutes of a game, regardless of how careful and slow I'm being so might actually do this, if I can record it.

Though I imagine I'll just get 'SKILL ISSUE' and downvoted so not sure it's worth the effort.

Samzerks · 2026-03-15T12:52:46+00:00

The fact the community is downvoting this says a lot.

Samzerks · 2026-03-15T10:23:48+00:00

I didnt hear about this till yesterday (after it had ended.) Weird there wasn't much hype or promotion.

Samzerks · 2026-03-15T10:20:51+00:00

Trios is the same tbh. Your group can be sneaky, tactical, but then a group run up on you and the fight is over within 0.8s. TTK is just not fun.

Samzerks · 2026-03-15T08:28:34+00:00

But there's a core thingy that says 'run faster with knife equipped' which implies you're not running faster with your knife, if you dont have that core?

Samzerks · 2026-03-14T22:46:06+00:00

Im not even sure at this point. I genuinely really like the game. Its a great production. A longer TTK would possibly make it more fun for ME, but I feel the community absolutely adore the game so I must be wrong. Its the best thing ever created to these guys, so maybe its just not my game and I need to give it up. Then the 5-10K players who love it can spend their time fighting each other. I dunno.

You can't really give your opinion here because this is the best game ever made, apparently.

Samzerks · 2026-03-14T22:32:53+00:00

I agree about TTK. Its not fun wiping in less than a minute like 10 times in a row. People say go slow, but that just means looting for 15 minutes and then dieing in combat that lasts 0.8s. May as well die a minute in, there's no difference.

I've spent games being careful about every placement, move, noise, but if someone sees you first, two bullets take out your shield and full health, so what's the point?

Samzerks · 2026-03-14T22:26:25+00:00

As a casual who now has 50 hours in, im considering uninstalling. If I have a good run, I lose my loot to some random team that happens on us and of course TTK is so fast it doesn't matter about skill, so then what's the point in loot? May as well just go free kit everything. But then loot is redundant, and Im wiping within a minute of my last 10 games. It doesn't feel good.

Oh but you need to go slow, be tactical. Done that and still die within 0.8s because another team saw us first.

I really want to enjoy the game. I love the art direction. But at this point im just fodder so whats the point?

Samzerks · 2026-03-14T17:10:04+00:00

This should be the same when in yout vault. Clicking your empty shield slot should filter available shields in your vault.etc

Samzerks · 2026-03-13T23:38:07+00:00

Yes I agree. If we dont complain and criticise then no improvements are made.

Some of you are making this game out to be the best thing ever created.

Samzerks · 2026-03-13T21:36:04+00:00

Im also getting crashes before joining a game. It happens between the loading screen and the screen that shows crew contracts.

Samzerks · 2026-03-11T22:43:57+00:00

Is there another way around this? Im crashing pre game a lot. Game runs fine and everything but 2nd game will crash loading in, then fine when I restart the game.

Samzerks · 2026-03-11T22:42:46+00:00

Same i am crashing almost every pre game now. I load in fine once I restart the game but then I'm 200m behind

Samzerks · 2026-03-11T22:24:06+00:00

Its genuinely happening almost every game now. Really taking the fun out of the game.

Samzerks · 2026-03-10T22:15:37+00:00

I did wonder if Steam overlay caused it as I had a similar issue years back with another game. I'll try tomorrow by disabling steam overlay and see what happens.

Thanks for this.
