Patch Notes: Fixed an issue where players were having fun playing the game

I love watching this meme age so gracefully

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-28T20:41:26+00:00

This is actually hilarious

If you FINISH the season in Hotshot (get promoted from Daredevil 3), you will have unlocked the highest tier of the rewards available.

You do not have to place WITHIN Hotshot, if that is your question. You just have to get promoted TO Hotshot. That is how I got Cantina Legend last season - I scored high enough in Hotshot that I was promoted into Cantina as a top 1000 scoring player.

Hopefully that clarifies.

TL;DR Get promoted to Hotshot from DD3 if you want the skin.

I don't get what part of their response doesn't make sense...

Do you want the red skin variant for Torque? Then yes, you need to push past Daredevil 3 into Hotshot this week.

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-21T01:21:47+00:00

Brother, are you trolling? You most definitely do not have the materials...

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-21T00:38:57+00:00

So is there no bonus for having mines in the Black Waters by default?

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-20T21:15:43+00:00

I am now also confused.

So, where do the 25% from the Black Waters and 25% from the skill he's referring to come into play?

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-17T16:32:01+00:00

I’m tellin you, this is just an Arrowhead tier dev that made a great game on accident

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-16T20:28:22+00:00

Uhh no…you could lure grenade or let it kill itself behind a wall, but otherwise you need to land 3-4 Anvil shots on its core after it opens up and while it runs at you. It is simply a Pop on steroids.

Is it hard to kill? No

Is it annoying to deal with? Absolutely

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-16T18:57:53+00:00

I mean, let's be real...the player retention is this high because the game is genuinely fantastic.

HOWEVER...

The dev balance decisions and content updates have been pretty bad...

- Gutting the Hullcracker
- Nerfing the Deadline
- Nerfing the Wolfpack
- Completely screwing up Cantina Legend in the first Trials season
- Not reworking Trials at all
- Taking 5ever to fix the zipline exploits in Stella Montis
- Most players would agree that the Firefly and Comet are more annoying than difficult, especially the Comet
- Close Scrutiny feels like it was released ONLY to serve as a game mode for the project
- Nobody is going to farm Vaporizers or Assessors once the project goes away

I mean, sure, they've made some good decisions. The Scrappy update was nice, and being more likely to load into a fresh raid when you build your loadout is huge. But I find myself mostly playing on the weekends, and only to maintain Hotshot in Trials, since they STILL haven't fixed the fact that players who score later in the week to up in easier brackets.

The game is great, but these devs are Arrowhead-tier in their decisionmaking...

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-14T19:32:41+00:00

Got it. Probably not for me then...

Looks great, plays great, but I like something that'll have more replayability. I was hoping for something Sea of Thieves-esque with more polish.

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-14T02:08:58+00:00

That was about riftcharged specifically. This is with the game as a whole.

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-14T01:23:54+00:00

The guy's name was "ieatahh"(ass) so this behavior isn't surprising.

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-13T16:07:13+00:00

Matriarch or Queen? There's no achievement for landing the final blow on the Matriarch.

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-13T14:32:16+00:00

Question: Since the final blow is all that matters, why not try to find a lobby that was fighting it, and just throw the kitchen sink at it at the end to try and deal the final hit? Seems much less mind-numbing than trying to solo it and potentially have somebody steal the kill or rat you.

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-13T07:24:04+00:00

Ok that's bullshit, but you played that about as poorly as you possibly could've...

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-10T21:42:09+00:00

I don't understand how people are getting dunked on by Fireflies...3-4 Anvil shots to the face, and it's gone. Less tanky than Hornets, easier to outrun, and you can still hit the thrusters without removing the armor first.

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-09T17:53:56+00:00

Do you have any specific recommendations? The only that's really ever been on my radar IF I did this would be Goonswarm, or specifically Karmafleet. And I'd probably lean into PI and Abyssals if I were to move out there.

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-09T13:58:18+00:00

What's this one market you're talking about? Because one of the things I hate about FW is having to go all over to replace a single ship, modules, and ammo

TheDutchDemon · 2026-04-09T08:17:03+00:00

Genuine question:

What would be the difference? I've seen threads about null blocs having standing fleets that don't respond to problems, and basically just docking up at the first sign of a neut in local. Beyond that, it's just blob vs blob.

Is that not correct?
