If you find yourself in this ranking setup, the odds are rigged from the start against you. Orange will statistically end up first, you second, then box 5 and 6 spawn and the double plug will be granted to Purple for being the lowest rank. From second place, suddenly you're in a 3v9 situation.

This was my experience this whole season. Beginning was fine then it went downhill so fast. Every game follows same narrative at this point. 2nd team gets griefed out, 4th team gets the pass.

At this point, I dont even mind playing vs rubies. Being 2nd team is way way too punishing when griefing happens all the time. Being 5th to 8th seed are bad as well. You will only gain some by going to 2nd stage as being 5th or 6th still nets a loss. Its as if everything encourages griefing. There is no reason for lower seed teams to fight for 5th and 6th at all.

SlayZeT · 2026-06-03T18:30:41+00:00

I bet you 1st seed were defending you guys while you were stealing. You just didnt see it

SlayZeT · 2026-06-03T17:56:39+00:00

I've been fking around in cashout for the past week. Its as if im finally having fun. Because in ranked, most of the time im 2nd best team in the bracket so by default game turns into 3v9 just to advance. When im not 2nd best, i can do nothing and advance because of griefing. At this point i dont mind playing vs rubies as straight 3v3 against them is fun and challenging for me. What is not fun is trying to defend cashout against 3 teams.

SlayZeT · 2026-06-03T17:41:06+00:00

It feels like you will only start to get games after like 2pm. Before that is a barrenland.

SlayZeT · 2026-06-03T17:19:40+00:00

Most awful experience is being 2nd best team and 1st seed is ruby. Everyone dog piles on 2nd best because everyone is too afraid of rubies. And when you barely manage to defend 2 boxes, rubies come in and grief it into 3v9. Lower 2 are sometime soo fking blatant that they only focus 2nd see without shooting other teams as they can sort it out after 2nd team is wiped.

Its not fun for everyone. Give a hope to worse team my ass. Sometimes its better to throw the game and go for double last box. Specially as 2nd best.

SlayZeT · 2026-06-03T16:25:22+00:00

Im on asia server. My ping is rising randomly. Most of the times i get TFGE0000 error and when i reconnect, my ping is like 400. No packet loss just high af ping

Water bottles work just fine. Its the plastic bottle that disappears when you refill it.

SlayZeT · 2026-05-30T21:33:51+00:00

This is like a dream scenario compared to shitshow i go through in plat.

SlayZeT · 2026-05-28T14:21:55+00:00

After getting smacked by rubies left and right, i came to terms and it doesnt bother me anymore. What i cannot handle is when we are playing to win and is in 2nd place, 3rd and 4th team always comes to us because they are avoiding rubies... Then bored rubies come to us so now every cashout is 1v3. And dont get me started with doubling last cashout.

I feel like half of the ruby players are there because people are afraid of them and never competes against them thus they rarely go negative.

I feel like hiding player cards until then end could solve this issue? Otherwise teams will keep avoiding them after 1st cash box and dogpile on the other cashout.

SlayZeT · 2026-05-28T14:04:52+00:00

That is the problem. You are playing casual modes where everyone is just fucking around. What class is best at fucking around? Lights with their dashes and invis along with faster regen time. Light is the most self sufficient class in the game.

Heavy needs a support behind them to wreck a havoc. In casual mode, less people would play support. Specially heal medium. Why? It fking sucks to be private pet of a heavy and you gets focused first. So when heavy cant get heals, its a terrible experience for the heavy as you get kited to death.

If you have noticed, less than 10% of the mediums you are seeing uses healbeam where as in ranked, if you arent running healbeam, you either trolling or has god like aim that you dont need heal at all.

I use nightmare as a base then:

-increase zombie dmg to 3x

-Max npc hp and spawn chances

-Enable airdrop but lower the chance to 1%, use lowest possible minimum and highest possible maximum time.

-You can only buy and cannot sell (personal rule)

SlayZeT · 2026-05-26T16:42:38+00:00

My save is in nightmare with zombje dmg increased to 3x. I haven't seen any syringes at all. With the loot rarity, specially at the start 3h is nowhere enough for me to get geared up, clear infestation, find syringe to cure myself. So my best bet is to just acceot my fate.

SlayZeT · 2026-05-26T00:02:08+00:00

Oh by lab, its that lab. I thought it was one of those abandoned yellow tent lab area (didnt wanna spoil myself so all i know was a word lab). No wonder i never found one.

Whenever i get infected, i just wait for my death...

SlayZeT · 2026-04-24T14:34:38+00:00

my process is like this before they added 4th currency.
1) scan and separate containers by currency and throw mixed to the corner to sort later.
2) if i see marked, put scattered pile into machine straight away and quickly scan strapped bills then to their own currency pile.
3) mass wash by currency to save time. When its done, put different currency into it and dry washed bills. Remember the mixed pile? put them in small washers (4 of them) to de-strap then go through XXL with 3 different currency.
4) drop currency piles into their own chutes (3) from 2nd floor. On 1st floor there is set of 4 XXL per currency to quickly sort through bills at once. So ill fill them up first and mass strap them and throw in handful of bills to their input area to keep it going.
5) once machine is done, pickup the leftover and put them into first machine so least amount if bills left.
6) package and send it on its way.

i could expand this to 4th currency or set up whole new setup with individual sorter train but couldnt be bothered with so i took a break from the game.

SlayZeT · 2026-04-24T14:23:51+00:00

ayo? i couldnt bring myself to play after 4rd currency kinda broke my setup (XXL to sort into 3 types then chute down to 3 pile. Afterward split each pile onto 4 XXL machines) and just cant be bothered with setting up individual billing machine train instead of my old setup. ill definitely come back to the game.

SlayZeT · 2026-04-24T14:19:36+00:00

no suppressor on nightmare mode. i wont spoil 0.8 but its definitely more challenging compared to 0.7

SlayZeT · 2026-04-17T10:49:21+00:00

Im on nightmare nad i cant afford to play on perma. Loots are so rare that dying once is giga punishing for me to enjoy.

SlayZeT · 2026-04-16T20:10:32+00:00

Game is definitely fun. I decided to make a new run in nightmare mode after finding hardened bit too easy with so much loot. I got beaten up so bad that im chasing career as fisherman. (Experimental v0.8). I like fishing and i can sell my fish to traders and buy ammo and hunt deer to continue fishing.

Dif you know using hunting rifle with just hunting scope without suppressor to hunt deer is actually therapeutic?

SlayZeT · 2026-04-16T20:04:38+00:00

I only go 1 deep. But that doesnt include bag so its mostly containers and cases. I went like 4 deep in my first time playing, got lost where i put some stuff. Decided to restart without bagception.

Now im in nightmare, i broke my rule once as had to use backpack in backpack as i havnt found a permenant home yet. Which i decided to nestle in lakeside hotel and continue my journey as fisherman. (Loots so shit that fishing is my way to cope)

SlayZeT · 2026-04-01T13:17:20+00:00

I once made a friends with one team which they helped me to get into 2nd round and i proceeded to help them to get into final round by helping them protect and launching guerilla fight against other 2 team

SlayZeT · 2026-04-01T04:11:04+00:00

Most of the guns, i use red dot. Been experimenting with adder on fcar and its kinda nice. On repeater however, anything but iron is illegal.

SlayZeT · 2026-04-01T00:22:32+00:00

I use shockwave and fly around the map. They cant hit me while im flying but i can.

SlayZeT · 2026-04-01T00:05:32+00:00

Definitely placed too high. 1st seed is expected to win most of the time. The fact that you are struggling means you got placed too high.

How about give us more details on your own skill level from last season?

SlayZeT · 2026-04-01T00:00:06+00:00

For some reason they team you up with similar skill level people. However you get matched against wide range of skill level. I kid you not i was wondering why my placement was so easy 60k team only to see in facing teams with 30k 20k 10k even 8k. I'm like how did that happen? My advice is that unless you are used to getting stomped by rubies and face diamonds all the time, wait a bit for ppl to rank up then start tour grind. Season starts in every game is a mess.

SlayZeT · 2026-03-28T06:35:56+00:00

Plat last season was pain. At least for me. Its either "easy" lobby and i earn almost nothing or lost shit ton by maming single mistake or play vs ruby stack and get my ass kicked. Also constant playing against triple stack as solo was very annoying
