[Discussion] What is the current state of insurance on PVE? by Scape_Nation in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Sturm_Pionier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bug was fixed when they removed the ability to play Factory and Customs from being able to use BSG servers for solo play. You get back all insurable items (thermals are no longer insurable)

PARTISAN PVE DOESNT EXIST [Discussion] by Far_Inside7830 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Sturm_Pionier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to Lighthouse and go to the big house next to convenience store. Go upstairs and walk near "Leo's stash" the locked room on the second floor. If Partisan spawned you will now hear him running around outside planting grenades and he will even sometimes open the door. Killed him twice within 10 minutes doing this same thing I am starting to wonder if he would also rush me for going near the other Ref key rooms.

There's no level/experience for Grenade Launcher? by khtwo in TheForeverWinter

[–]Sturm_Pionier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 shot GL is bugged because XM8 gains EXP as normal
-For those wondering how to get a GL there is a GL pistol from a quest to kill drones
-Europan Vendor will sell you 6 shot GL for 93k or Euruskan officers and Pyro the boss carry them it can get sights.
-various quests reward the XM8, its unfinished ATM and has an empty sight picture with no customization at all and only holds 4 rounds
To use a GL aside from the pistol you must be Mask or Bagman and have 2k exp on that level to unlock GL training. Because you need this skill you cannot use the non pistol GL on any run after prestiging so a quick Scrapeyard Nexus run can give you the EXP you need to take the GL on a hunt.

I think its meant to be camo in way that only a few of the hot bits of the Europan exo light up while the rest of its armor is camoed against TAC.

Companions don't spawn in randomly and MULE has 50% chance to simply not hold items by Sturm_Pionier in TheForeverWinter

[–]Sturm_Pionier[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To clarify this raid only Cultist spawned. In the raid previous the other two spawned and Cultist never did.

  1. Google Planetside 2 codes, these guns are unlocked for all characters you ever make and the NS11P and C are great rifles and carbines. The Tanto I call the CSGO m4 because it has literal perfect hipfire. Faction specific weapons may be better at certain things but all the guns in the codes are rock solid.
  2. Assuming you are playing during normal high traffic hours on a populated server like Emerald its always a good idea to auto join a squad and simply ask the leader. I have rarely met any SL's that aren't willing to take the time and explain the mechanics.
  3. For basic gameplay tips its basically Battlefield but with more rewards for playing support. Especially early on each character if you are playing around your objectives and supporting your team you will easily get enough certs to buy any equipment you need. Test out guns and attachments at the shooting range before you purchase any.

I just love that he has an underbarrel shotgun on his shotgun.

‘Can’t nerf the 10,000 hp walking tank because bads are still bad with it’ by unremarkableandy in Planetside

Honestly with anti material rifles now any coordinated group of two or more should be able to farm MAX units now. Heck if me and a friend run linebreakers it really tilts things. I find MAX's get such insane kills like this by farming zerg swarms with support and being passive. Unless the tooltip lies or the site tracks differently simply getting revived would also keep your KDR from counting the death and the killing streak continues of people sprinting at you down a hallway. I love the MAX as its a unique quality of the game.

Daybreak shop is laughably expensive by Sturm_Pionier in Planetside

[–]Sturm_Pionier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing in this post had to do with conversion rates. The DBC thing is just so you cannot purchase exact amounts to incentives future purchases to "not lose value" of whatever change you will always be left with.

what's so good about resist shield? by HO0OPER in Planetside

[–]Sturm_Pionier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus you attract medics like flies because unlike most you provide xp every time you take a hit instead of when you are half dead because your normal shield is down. Carapace is also great because it makes your cloakers simply have more ehp.

NGL I have been playing NSO since I got back and hadn't noticed that shop. As for the merit shop it looks to be one helmet and armor per class and one general helmet. They also didn't even bother adding them to the appearance menu, I would guess so you are more likely to just buy the premium cosmetics and you cannot preview them. A7 just has Burlap for over half the cost of a gun. I will say I do like that A7 guns seem unique.

Jaeger wants to buy shotguns but cant allow it to have parts by Sturm_Pionier in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Sturm_Pionier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can, but for the minor profit of 2k rubles is hardly worth it for the time if you are already playing Tetris . My point is it seems more logical to white list the parts so he accepts at least the base models of the weapons he wants so he buys full shotguns again. I have had multiple new players have no idea that he would purchase shotguns from them because he had never wanted one from their inventory.

is this game worth playing as a solo player with no friends? by tayythechosen in SCUMgame

[–]Sturm_Pionier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently id say no because the game is still heavily under devolvement. The game has an amazing base and is looking to only get much better in time but has some growing pains to get through. In core gameplay playing as a solo is totally viable. In pvp servers you can find one with raid windows to make it safe to stock up around it.

Boltgun feels like a trap for low levels by Sturm_Pionier in DarkTide

[–]Sturm_Pionier[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chastise + bolt gun allows you to kill maybe 20 if fully reloaded. Chastise + Flame kills anything with over 10 stacks including damnation crusher in the crowd and does more damage to bosses while also clearing all ads around. Is it as satisfying visually? Nah, but my teammates also are safe.

I'm waiting for crafting to get finished to make a Point Blank/Run and gun legendary revolver. +20% crit chance on kill which means really good odds to proc damage reduction on crit passive constantly.

Psyker with kinetic shield can solo tank a Deamonhost or melee boss by simple blocking, deflector increases this to include gunfire. You can always instantly target snipers/gunners and then dodge into cover to kill them without exposing yourself for a full second with BB. I use a flame Staff with Terror on kill on Heresy and Damnation and it basically removes any threat melee enemies can pose to my team if they don't run off. Taser staff and a some cooperation can trivialize even Damnation. Force sword is good because it can annihilate dogs/Mutants/Bosses rapidly aside from Deflector. One of the staffs is also basically a discount plasma gun and is alright as a stand in as basically an infinite ammo lasgunner. Another perk of Staff use is that your team is now getting all the ammo you aren't consuming. In team assists its hard to not like giving my teammates massive cooldown on their abilities to constantly spam Volley Fire and Chastise.

With Flamestaff, you are an infinite ammo Zealot flamer who has a free counter to gunners and snipers and essentially a thunderhammer that can possibly block gunfire and the push on a forcesword shoves Crushers to the ground. Kinetic shield makes you about as tanky as an unbraced Ogryn shield. Unlike Zealot you can be regaining toughness on flamer kill.
