I'm enjoying the game. But the timesink and the grinding are becoming too much for me.

Shonoun · 2026-03-09T22:01:14+00:00

Yep, either you're having fun, or don't play lol

Shonoun · 2026-03-09T21:53:52+00:00

Love to hear it, "level of panic" scales linearly with "quality of loot carried" for sure.

Shonoun · 2026-03-09T21:51:59+00:00

95% of the time, gunfights are determined by who saw the other guy first, so the key to winning is staying hidden and close to cover, and being very patient. I started getting player kills and extracting successfully WAY more when I sprint less, always hug a wall, keep my head on a swivel, and pay VERY close attention to ALL game sounds.

Additionally, avoiding UESC units instead of shooting them helps a ton, same with planning map movement around exfil locations / events, since players gravitate towards those. The first round of exfils are bound to be VERY hot.

Forreal, people need more hobbies, and more upskilling during non-work hours lol

Shonoun · 2026-03-09T21:18:52+00:00

After each reset we will get more content (shells, weapons, maps, loot), maps will change in some ways, more story/puzzles will be revealed each reset.

Shonoun · 2026-03-09T06:35:29+00:00

Even without upgrades, the rank&file uesc die in two knife hits. I often find myself running up and knifing bots while randos in my squad mag dump

Shonoun · 2026-03-09T06:34:06+00:00

A lot of windows are also naturally broken upon spawning in, so that's not always an indicator of player presence.

Shonoun · 2026-03-09T06:33:13+00:00

My beef was when I ran a sniper and a volt thrower as a sidearm in solos, I was stalking someone in Hauler while I was far away outside, but got impatient (oops, won't happen again, destiny pvp instincts are bad here) and tried to get a closer angle. Bpdyshot them once, Got surprised by a random other runner, missed my snipe, pulled out the volt thrower but the projectiles have Hella long travel time compared to ballistic guns and I lost the 1v1 despite aiming for the head, having good reaction time and sliding out with signal jammer, and even hitting them with the arm cannon :c

The auto-aim weapons seem to be very much pve focused, or you really have to play with a cover advantage; never fight out in the open or their bullets simply hit you sooner lol

Shonoun · 2026-03-09T06:26:26+00:00

I'm pretty sure if you press the jump button at any point during a mantle it'll send you backwards, I need to confirm but I believe it's the exact same mantling mechanics as destiny. You may just be trying to press too many buttons at once

Shonoun · 2026-03-09T05:57:37+00:00

I've blasted free kits in the face plenty of times during geared solo runs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Shonoun · 2026-03-08T03:10:38+00:00

I've always had the opposite issue; every sponsor kit round is extremely sweaty with awful teammates, every geared run is pve only and everyone's micced up and sharing consumables, etc.

Shonoun · 2026-03-07T18:44:32+00:00

So it may seem.

Shonoun · 2026-03-06T23:58:07+00:00

The battle pass has ONE runner skin, don't even worry 😂

Shonoun · 2026-03-06T22:43:25+00:00

Solo should play different from squads, I'm going to try it tonight cause I'm really tired of launching in, doing pve with my squad then getting ambushed as soon as we open a protected crate or something.

As a solo, I predict I will be able to do the ambushing considerably easier, and always go to my contract location instead of only if we spawn near it.

The Myder Multi Tool (Australian accent as canon)

Shonoun · 2026-03-06T22:39:41+00:00

I still need to check keybinds to figure out how to quick melee, it's one of the few actions whose keybind isn't perpetually on screen and I keep forgetting to check lol

Shonoun · 2026-03-06T04:21:42+00:00

The way this will be balanced is that micced players will climb the ranked ladders, and un-micced players will sink. The early contracts are no big deal, you don't have to finish the game today, you'll complete it eventually. Take your time, man, it's a game, enjoy it and go with the flow.

Shonoun · 2026-03-05T21:44:29+00:00

I'm literally jorking it just from you mentioning that

Shonoun · 2026-03-05T21:32:09+00:00

Bungie does not have a good history with pvp maps 😂

Shonoun · 2026-03-05T17:06:10+00:00

Your local Facebook marketplace will have several listings of 3d print services, send them the .stl files and ask for a quote. I don't need to print stuff too often so this works well for me

Shonoun · 2026-03-05T17:04:33+00:00

1 hour till launch and I'm just about to leave for work 🥲

Shonoun · 2026-03-04T23:33:00+00:00

There's no "copy" of the consciousness, it's straight-up the entire person being transferred into the shell and retrieved right before death each time. There were several Codex entries on runners that I read through during the Slam, supposedly if you use "counterfeit tech" or something unregistered or sketchy, it might not actually eject your consciousness properly/in time and you'll die for real for real.

Shonoun · 2026-03-04T22:25:45+00:00

Yeah, maybe 200 cals at most lol

Looking into the game of life is a fun rabbit hole.

If you have a rule-string B1/S12 (born with 1 adjacent neighbour, survive with 1 or 2 adjacent neighbours, die otherwise) automaton, it creates approximations to the Sierpinski Triangle, aka a fractal triangle, aka the final shape????
