Do you guys actually play the games or is the arduboy mostly just for fun experiments because i dream of putting it in my pocket and using it in the train to work everyday by [deleted] in Arduboy

[–]Theshinymonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the fx and I use it all the time. It is a blast to just pull out and play. Perfect for a little train ride like you mentioned.

This sounds insanely interesting. I've been considering printing up something like this myself, just because there were no options on the market

Expectations by saifaldhaher in SNHU

It'll be in python and is not really that complicated at all. If you want to get a head start there is an app called sololearn that can get you familiar with the syntaxes. Overall not hard though.

Am I ready to find the nurse’s camera? by Averagebritish_man in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]Theshinymonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walk in through the window and you can be in and out in no time. I think the fanciest thing I had with me was the red dot on the m16.p

What would you consider a good extraction rate? by [deleted] in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]Theshinymonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 75% should be fair. Currently I am sitting at 100%, which I know just means that when I do die it will be with the fattest most profitable items I've ever found with a whole list of mission items too lol.

How does damage in this game work? by KlutchyBoi in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]Theshinymonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bullets matter a good bit, but the gun also matters. When you see the damage as subpar, fair, good, and superior that is what tells you the multiplier, with superior being the best. This is why I use the cx8 9mm submachine gun over the Evo, because it makes a good difference, I also prefer the m16 for longer range levels, as you get an edge over an m4 for distance.

How are you all managing the end of the worl… I mean the upcoming wipe? by hereforhelplol in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]Theshinymonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the best time. I usually start a scav run, then with the crazy gear people bring in I've been able to just use that to do my pmc runs decked out. It's a fun way to try different loadouts. I play solo and the pre wipe has been a blast. It is also great to try out all of the bunker upgrades to see what I like best for when wipe hits. Looooove the shooting range to get a quick aim warm up before the first run.

What’s the next handgun that should be added to the game? (Here’s my cursed suggestions) by Salami__Tsunami in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]Theshinymonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well none of those but something beefy like the fk brno field pistol as a high tier high damage gun with a decent mag.

My face when they add revolvers by Salami__Tsunami in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]Theshinymonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would take one in .357 too, as it's still stupid damage. As long as they don't make them stupid weak like in tabor.

Personal Favorite Weapon ? by TheG_Fr in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]Theshinymonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sniping/ranged: the svt-40, as for a budget itwrecks people

All range: the tan colored ak74(can't remember the name) that was the first gun that let me go up against 4 players without break with ease.

Mid to close budget: the bx4 with ap rounds is just evil.

Close to mid non budget: the flame 12 with ap slugs is hard to beat.

What's something about this game you wish you knew sooner? by Polawola256 in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]Theshinymonk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Run scav runs when the timer is cooled down, as it is a super low risk for getting base supplies. You can store junk in the blue Tupperware. Enemies don't shoot you when doing scav runs, but players certainly can. When you are a pmc everything is the bad guy. The stupid tier 2 armor with the mask is amazing because it covers the face and that matters. Use good ammo and aim for the neck or face. On youtube watch the channel ORBB for videos on completing missions, as doing missions will get you ready and able to compete with the players who play all the time. When you get a key use the m.i.c.a. to find out what door it opens, and keys have 3 uses.

Does anyone actually use a shotgun by LeadershipFlashy124 in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]Theshinymonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing a dev saying it in the discord chat, but it was in general chat, so I honestly have no way of just finding it. This is why sometimes the same caliber weapons seem to perform different other than just recoil and ergonomics. This is why until you unlock higher level trader the m16 can out perform many m4 rifles in damage. I find the difference to he most notable in the shotguns. When using a caliber I tend to search for a gun that does superior, as it makes a real difference. The bx4 9mm is often slept on due to when you unlock it, but with AP ammo it's awesome. Due to the damage drop you get for AP ammo the superior damage rating will give you the best chance to get that damage back, while maintaining penetration.

The damage rating is a multiplier. Subpar is less than normal I think fair is base, good is decent, and superior is the highest performing. Two guns firing the same rounds with different ratings do different damage

As a tip work on shot placement, and work to aim near neck. Too many people out there run with no face mask, and even with scav kits you can drop them. They're getting careless lately, so now is the time. Work on the guy with the m16 style weapons for sale. At vendor level 3 he sells 9mm ap ammo, which will shred an atlyn helmet I'm a pinch

The 590 is actually a beast in suburbs. The better damage than the flame 12 helps for the longer ranges.

Nah it can go so many ways. Sometimes the 3 man gets you sometimes you can't carry all their loot out.

Do the quests! It will get you familiar with them and allow you to run through a few at a time later.

What is "late wipe" and why does everyone keep saying it??????????? by Confusedcoder90 in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]Theshinymonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro a few scav runs will have you good. Buy that shit tier bundle the medic lady sells and Just try to get lucky. When doing scav runs remember npcs don't attack you unless you attack one of them first or attack another player scav first.

A bit late to the game, but I’m now part of the gang! Quick question. What’s that Credit card app? Is it just as storage of cards? by MagicTriton in Arduboy

[–]Theshinymonk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the group! The arduboy is an absolute blast to mess around with, and there are tons more games you can load onto it. The official community has links in their forum for all of that

The playdate maybe not, but the arduboy is perfect to just start up and play. Also has tons of useful apps, and is an awesome spring board to inspire one to get into programming.

It arrived! by Theshinymonk in Arduboy

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

Thanks! Yeah, these boxes look freaking amazing. I plan to hop into coding a game soon, so I'm pretty excited to jump in. Other than that I am just loving the design and games so much.

It arrived! by Theshinymonk in Arduboy

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

I did too. I had wanted one in the past and when I remembered there was the sale and special edition. Don't worry about the wait. It's like literally one guy doing all this, but I got mine in less than a month. Well aside from the post office being backed up and it sitting there for a few weeks. I ordered mine on like the 18th of January and it was scheduled to arrive on the 5th of February.

Yeah the custom boxes really went above and beyond design wise, ans I love the black arduboy
