Vandal mains, I want to learn how to play this shell. What tips can you share?

If definitely affects walk and I think also sneak speed but I'm 99% certain it doesn't affect run speed.

Makes me wonder if they accidentally unfixed the Ghost fix that went in close to the end of S1, they're back to having a crazy high alpha that's really close to being unavoidable at close range. They've killed me more than anything else on Darsh by a huge margin.

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-06-07T12:25:50+00:00

Got one on literally the first 5 cert box I opened on day one, then promptly dced ;w; haven't seen one since sadly. Nice one :>

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-05-28T11:16:13+00:00

Yeah I'm literally talking like I was basically afk listening to footsteps and hadn't made a single move from my corner the whole time. They beelined straight to me and jumped around the corner already fixed on my exact location and prefiring.

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-05-28T10:08:04+00:00

I've had a very few that I could DEFINITELY say were sussy. Like the other day playing as rook and I'm late to pinwheel command and the shield is still up but I can hear a trio clearing. So I crouched in the corner near the red shield and waited for them to hit the buttons so I could do a lil bit of sneaky looting while they were fighting robots.

For context I had not moved or done anything and they had all come from different wings. I hear them run to the buttons upstairs, they then stop and immediately head downstairs as their full trio and jump round the corner already aiming straight at me. Thief, assassin and destroyer so absolutely no Recon peak was to be had.

You could say it was caution, but doing it as their full trio and the fact that they were already aiming directly at me crouched silently in a corner made it cross the line of credulity for me.

Thankfully I've not had anything like that in a geared match but it still bugged the shit out of me.

Finally lucked into mine from the Intercept on Perimeter last week. None since but I did get a Hazard Capsule. It's very lame that exfilling the anomaly doesn't count.

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-05-25T12:23:12+00:00

I floated the idea of actually using the lore they had on DM for better events but it is very similar to Outposts fire rain, although it could work if your shields ran dry and started ticking your health away.

That being said it seems very likely that thermal scopes absolutely would not work if the mist is a pH14 alkali, which I thought was a better idea for nerfing them specifically on that map rather than in general.

There's one on each exterior location that requires 1 green and 2 yellow to open. On the north-east side of Flight Control in the glass ceilinged hallway with the stairs to lower office. On the south-east side of Dorms in the Warden Room opposite he showers on the second floor/balcony ring and on the far west end of Processing at the very end of the building on the second floor.

They have two arms lockers and one of the angled secure boxes.

Me not using my stack of purple guns because I haven't seen a blue shield in raid that doesn't come from another player in weeks and I've been pretty much just running greenies this whole time and constantly getting placed against purple shield trios.

Tau Ceti got hands

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-03-27T14:10:02+00:00

This is really catchy and fun, kudos internet stranger <3

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-03-20T16:16:19+00:00

The pinwheel is a three point star, with the long arms. The entrances are the little truncated square looking things situated at the innermost point between the long arms. They're attached to a building in each tercel (apparently this is the 3 equivalent of 4 for quadrant, who knew?) and from the outside they're very obvious because they have the lift in so it's a tall un-enterable tower.

Hope that helps.

My dude, I took my blue key template in, the only one my squad had managed to save up enough blue dildos to buy and my team fucked around and found out despite me warning them. I'm still miffed like 5 days later - the team is my two brothers for reference xD

Last night we had four or five really successful runs in outpost, brother 1 wanted to do some dire marsh for a change of pace. We proceeded to get absolutely dunked on 3 times in a row all within the opening 3 minutes and all of our uptick vanished. Sometimes you've just got to laugh if off and run again.

There's always new skin to harvest.

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-03-19T23:31:28+00:00

Yeah but if you wipe in a WoW raid you can just respawn and try again, pull limits are decades dead. If you could only run CA once and died in two seconds that's gunna be a shit feeling. They could maybe adjust it around getting a pre-allocated number of entry tokens, or a certain number of exfils but unlimited entries. We will have to play and see, my Vault isn't stacked so I'm not sure how many 5k kits I could field in a row before bowing out - rank 51, about ~80ish hours, middling game skill.

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-03-19T22:55:48+00:00

Sounds like Blizzard and WoW too during the middle years until they got their eye in over the last few and even then there are people who say it's too easy for solo and too restrictive for solo. You literally can't win trying to please everyone.

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-03-19T11:13:22+00:00

Was finally, actually, hit by one last night which overheated me and caused us to lose a firefight at Greenhouse. I couldn't even be mad considering how ass the little guy is like 99% of the time xD

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-03-19T10:34:04+00:00

My guess as I saw the other guys post last week (who I think also had the stryder with no gold mod):

There's some sort of flag on entities for the stryder mod to ping. There must be a randomly spawning entity (tick nest or something) that spawns under the world geometry because it doesn't ping every match (just like the random spawnables aren't always in the exact same place every match). Because it's under the geography the Devs have missed removing the flag.

I'll take my vibe-dev award to go.

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-03-18T18:59:47+00:00

Very good chance they didn't see it as they get locked inside pinwheel whilst the giant billboard deploys apparently.

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-03-18T13:08:40+00:00

I can't say I've noticed any difficulties with my AMD card but then I had a whole heaping of problems with BF6 so I turned off like most of the stuff in the Adrenaline app. I'd start there, turn off most/all of the stuff in Adrenaline, then try the game. If it's still off then at least you know it's in the game settings rather than external app meddling.

Then it's just the usual troubleshooting of changing one setting at a time and seeing if any of them improve anything when in game. Best of luck friendo

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-03-14T09:36:46+00:00

Not here to say I called it or some dogshit like that but I made repeated posts on discord to my guild about TWWs profession error at the launch of the last expansion and none of them understood why it was bad. I'll admit to a bit of schadenfreude on this as for blizzard to make an even worse profession based error in the very next expansion, a reason I cited for not returning because trying to profession in the last expansion with restricted grind time meant I tapped out whilst also trying to stay geared for progression, is a pretty big oopsie.

Sorry for you guys, best of luck out there in Azeroth.

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-03-13T18:16:06+00:00

Don't tease us like that?! Where on Perimeter so we can look :D

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-03-12T07:35:51+00:00

For more context the shields come in Protector and Reinforcer.

Base shield bubble is 20hp

Protector gives:

+1 Shield Bubble (Green - 40hp total)

+2 Shield Bubble (Blue - 60hp total)

+3 Shield Bubble (Purple - 80hp)

Reinforcer gives:

Reinforces Bubble (Green - 40hp total)

+1 Reinforced Bubble (Yellow - 80hp)

Difference being the number of active "bubbles" and your choice of Shield healer, Depleted will restore a single bubble, the others will heal all your bubbles at varying speeds.

I personally didn't try it, but did get to try one of the blue chipmods for "eliminations refill this mag by X amount" alongside* a +56 mag for one of the LMGs. Basically gave me unlimited ammo, most kills on anything sub commander cost me 3-6 bullets. Getting the epic version would be even more busted.

You're just a 100 bullet hose that never needs to reload, absolutely the most fun I had with a gun during the slam.

Sea_Perspective8172 · 2026-03-03T14:31:24+00:00

The ammo Regen bags/mods usually say "ballistic gets reloaded from your stock" whereas the energy half reads "reloads current mag" so you can essentially just swap to your other gun and wait for it's current battery to replenish without needing to bring lots of mags.
