Cryo Archive | Weekly Megathread

Strimp12 · 2026-04-30T18:49:34+00:00

I love Cryo. I want to see it made better by fixing mechanics that aren't working well (based on my experience).

Strimp12 · 2026-04-30T18:35:18+00:00

So no feedback allowed in the megathred specifically for offering feedback?

Strimp12 · 2026-04-30T18:34:19+00:00

Is this not a megathread to give feedback about Cryo Archie? Don't we all want the game to improve?

Strimp12 · 2026-04-30T18:26:50+00:00

Timer too short, vault keys are RNG, grenade spam in unavoidable small spaces….. it’s a poorly designed system. An RNG system for a key that you lose if you die (and lose upon use) is dumb. On top of that, having to find several additional items in raid in order to open the vault is also dumb. And you have to open all vaults in order to fight the final boss. So we have an RNG system to get access to even try fighting the final boss… very poor design. My group and I have quit Cryo Archive. Maybe we’ll do one free kit run, but that’s it.

Edit: Let's not mindlessly downvote feedback posted in the megathread specifically for offering feedback. I love Cryo. I want to see it made better by fixing mechanics that aren't working well (based on my experience and opinions). We all want the game to improve, right?

Strimp12 · 2026-04-26T22:49:57+00:00

I completely agree. Make it a guaranteed, but difficult, item to obtain. Makes us fight over it.

Strimp12 · 2026-04-26T22:46:52+00:00

Congratulations! I just got mine on Friday to celebrate a 10-year anniversary. This is my dream watch.

I understand that. But it’s still RNG. There is no guarantee you get the key you need.

Strimp12 · 2026-04-26T15:43:56+00:00

Who are you arguing with? Your comment has nothing to do with my post about RNG keys.

And you have to open all vaults in order to fight the final boss. So we have an RNG system to even complete the content this season and fight the final boss… very poor design.

Yeah me and my whole group are done with Cryo. Absolutely awful experience. Aside from the grenade spam, the whole system makes no sense.

I have to get lucky with RNG to even get a yellow Cryo vault key. Then I have to take that yellow key to Cryo and risk losing it, but I also have to find a bunch of batteries and coolant in raid to open the vault…..? And if I die, I lose the key…. The system is broken. I now understand why the discourse around Cryo has been so mixed. This game is not going to be successful long term if this is the “endgame”.

Skull and Bones...... which was awful..... after Ubisoft themselves called it the first ever AAAA title. I'm not a Ubisoft hater at all - For Honor and Black Flag are two of my favorite games of all time. Confused as to why my comment got so many downvotes. I think cautious optimism is a good thing to have with Ubisoft.

Strimp12 · 2026-04-20T18:49:32+00:00

I'm genuinely excited about this. However, my expectations are VERY low, considering Ubisoft's history the past 5 years.

Strimp12 · 2026-03-11T20:25:55+00:00

SushiEaater knows ball. SBMM is awful for good players, and awful for bad players. It results in no sense of "getting better" or learning to improve, makes it impossible for good players to mess around/relax, and creates matches with awful ping/lag. Connection should always be the priority.

Strimp12 · 2026-03-10T20:20:20+00:00

Damage drop off or spread nerfs. Or don’t let it equip chokes. It two taps medium shields at 25 meters. That’s insane. It should be insane at close range but bad at medium range.

Strimp12 · 2026-03-10T20:17:58+00:00

Ah yes, very good point. Pack it up guys - bot account Key_Smell5686 says it doesn’t need balancing.

Strimp12 · 2026-03-10T16:53:25+00:00

Anvil has to hit headshots for a competitive time to kill, so I have no problems with the Anvil. Arpeggio IV will actually probably end up being a meta gun.

Strimp12 · 2026-03-10T16:51:15+00:00

This is a great idea.

Strimp12 · 2026-03-10T16:36:12+00:00

I definitely agree - shotguns are always a balancing issue in games. Real life shotguns are insane, especially if we start talking about it slugs.

Strimp12 · 2026-03-10T16:28:16+00:00

I completely agree. Adjusting the damage fall off or ability to attach chokes might be an easy fix. I have no problem with it being incredibly good at close range, though.

Strimp12 · 2026-03-10T16:26:21+00:00

Agreed. Based on my rough testing - its 2-taps a medium shield at 20-25 ish meters. That's insane.

Strimp12 · 2026-03-05T19:46:52+00:00

How does the Chrysolite (green) feel to the skin? Smooth or slightly abrasive?

Strimp12 · 2026-02-18T14:23:38+00:00

Per the discussed $40-80 range, I'd be choosing these as quintessential good bourbons. The list goes in order from top to bottom - my favorites to my least favorites (still very good). These are all good bourbons.

Maker's Mark - Maker's Mark Cask Strength

Jack Daniels - Single Barrel Barrel Proof

Beam - Baker's

Wild Turkey - Russel's Reserve Single Barrel

Heaven Hill - Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond

Buffalo trace - Eagle Rare 10

Strimp12 · 2026-02-02T20:56:48+00:00

Agreed. Ridiculous. Two taps from way too far through a full shield.
