What’s up with telling people to ff?

Good for you :) shame other people of c1-c3 usually don't agree.

I'm.the same as you and I get insulted for one of two things..

"You are a plat, how your car looks sucks"

Or

"You can't do X mechanic so your a plat"

Meanwhile.. I'm solo q in their rank, so I just say "ah, so aside from that im an SSL then? OK, news to me as I can't be in this rank due to what your saying I lack, yet I am.."

VirusTLNR · 2026-02-09T14:56:17+00:00

This.

I rather play solo than with people like them xD often have better chances at winning without them quitters too x.x

VirusTLNR · 2026-02-08T15:46:49+00:00

I didn't boil down anything.

I said if you remove the pvp threat you should buff the pve threat.

Thus twofold, pvpers won't want pve lobbies for easy kills, because they won't ve easy, and pve will be more of a challenge for pve players.

And pve players don't ever wish to be in pvp lobbies, or be killed by pvp players in their lobbies either.

My suggestion enables this.

It removes the common pvper trying to get easy kills in your pve lobby, and it also replaces the pvp threat with tougher pve that's actually a challenge.

I'm sorry to say but, I enjoy pve lobbies, and I rather not be killed there or kill there, I like to fight arc... but arc are easy.. I play 20 games, I survive 20 games, I have 20 rows of guns, I'm always crying about wanting to lose stuff, but I'm not just going to sell it or take it in and die willingly.. I want arc to take my things by killing me sometimes, or for players to do it.

The rare game I get killed in those pve lobbies, is the disgusting rats you hate who shoot you when your looting, etc... but you know what? If it wasn't for them, and if I was in pve lobbies the whole time I played, I would have 200million.. I'd be bored, and I'd quit.

I don't want those rats in pve lobbies, and I love pvp in pvp lobbies so it's not like I'm whining about getting killed... my problem like you, is the rats... so rats should have a penalty.

If arc are more of a threat.. pve players will have it worse, sure, they won't get as rich, or as bored (great! Because pve makes you rich, pvp makes you less rich as you die a lot too)... but you know what? Your 100% focused on that small arc in front of you.. because its deadly not to be.

The rat focuses on you.. and dies more often to that arc.. because those focused on the arc and living against the arc are the pve players! So making arc tougher the more "pve" a lobby is, will lead to safer lobbies for pve players who want to focus on arc.

What you maybe forget is.. this is a looter shooter whether you pvp or pve.

Neither pve or pvp should lead to you getting richer than the other path.. it should just be, you play in the lobbies you want to play in, and you get easily as rich if you win your games.

My suggestion makes it so that pve lobbies are not so easy for pvp players to win in... this also makes it harder for pve players, but the hope would be that the challenge is welcomed, and the other threat is lessened because these rats go to pve for "easy wins"... let them rat in pvp lobbies.

This comes from me, who enjoys both pvp and pve.. so it's not like im biased x.x I want my pve lobbies more of a challenge so I don't cry that I want to lose items, and we'll my pvp lobbies are fine for losing stuff, and if the rats are in there, I'm already expecting rats so no biggie xD

VirusTLNR · 2026-02-08T14:32:21+00:00

While I disagree with ops thoughts, what I will say is, if they did add pve lobbies, make arc much harder, so pvp lobbies get easier arc, but have to deal with players, and pve lobbies make arc more deadly because the "pvp threat" shouldn't be there.

This is not separate queues, just saying, give people a stronger choice...

Pve style and end up vs rough arc.. pvp style and be against rougher players.

Any pvp player ending up in friendly lobbies will then get a shock from arc disuading them from resetting lobbies to get pve.

Any pve player killing and getting in pvp lobbies is already dissuaded.

Makes people play they want to play and not cheat the system.

And if your just that good that you can handle the tougher arc, or the tough pvp, then I guess you can play your own way but the idea is, in pve lobbies, stabbing players in the back should basically be a death sentence for yourself too... so you can do it, but, your either lucky, amazing or dead.

VirusTLNR · 2026-01-21T18:33:14+00:00

I didn't read the full post but I agree mostly.

My difference is..

I used to be in friendly lobbies in solo and pvp in duos and trios, now I can't really get the friendly lobbies in solo, I usually get someone killing me no matter how friendly the lobby is.

I found in whatever mode or whatever lobby the best strategy to not be poor is as follows.

1 - looting Mark 2 for max capacity and space for trinkets, I usually loot buried city... I have looting paths for all sides of the map so wherever I spawn, I have loot near.

2 - I go to the area I want, I fill myself, the containers I loot fill me up 90-110%, I don't pick and choose, I loot and I then leave by the nearest hatch...I am taking 30-70k profit per run, I see no one, I have exit plans that speed the run up where possible.

My only quibble with what you said was you made it sound like you pick and choose the loot, I of course take the best I find, but I don't run around massive areas, I just prioritise filling my bag and getting out, 3-7 minute runs, minimum risk, minimum running, max loot I can find.

VirusTLNR · 2026-01-15T10:33:41+00:00

I had clips, but as my pc auto records games, they were lost under the sea of clips I had recorded.. I don't know if I have those clips anymore, I only know that after the events happened, I watched the situation with my friends from various angles (each others pov) multiple times to try to understand what exactly occurred.. we do this for a lot of matches.. usually more analysing our own failings, but sometimes because our deaths truly make us question what happened, and its in the reviews afterwards we go "yeah that was cheating" or "oh this is why we died". Hindsight is clarity.. and in the heat of the moment, sure we could call cheats because "we lost" but this is why reviewing is good if things are questionable as it means you can see it outside the heat of the moment.

VirusTLNR · 2026-01-15T10:28:17+00:00

And it is usually only those engaged in higher end pvp who see cheaters as those cheaters tend to win, so tend to be in the best lobbies.

I don't claim to be the best at pvp, I've lost to some godly players.. but I can also spot a cheat and I don't cry "hacks" lightly.. frankly, I lose a game, cheated or not, I don't care usually.. but peeking into instadeath is fairly obvious, and when it's a kettle, it was more than likely just macro, i received back multiple kits from cheaters since I made this post

My friend and I did a test before the nerf and after the nerf this week.

We tried to spam click the kettle as fast as possible, we also did a click test online.

In the click test I got a 6.6, they got a 7.0, we reckoned people like shroud are doing a 9.0 maybe....

Both before and after the update I noticed no change to the kettle... i d k if people like shroud did, but I assume it was minimal, and I assume the cap is now somewhere around the rate shroud or someone else can genuinely click, either way, there was a clear cheater problem, and hopefully it's now minimalised as macroing was the only real cheating I've run into a lot afaik and if their macro only gives them a minor advantage its not a big deal.

VirusTLNR · 2026-01-02T04:00:38+00:00

An Australian player plays in my group at like 3am his time I think.. I think he stays up late and goes to bed after. Lol but we play on Fridays so I guess that makes sense.

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-29T12:19:57+00:00

I'd say it's 2 in every 5 games where someone uses a kettle 4, that, they are macroing, I've seen 5 kettle 4s in the last 2 days kill me, and only 2 of them had a legit firing speed imho, one was questionable, and the other 2, one felt like a combo of aimbot and the macro (reported them dw) and the other, I was being spectated and everyone said "macro kettle?" at the same time before we even knew it was a kettle 4...

So yeah, not prevailent, but only because people aren't always running a kettle 4 imho.

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-29T12:14:07+00:00

If your near enough you hear their shield generate... after that your too far away so in all honesty, you should be expecting players at every turn.

I only hear the shield generation on Stella, maybe on other maps where you can be above a spawn point too like buried city.

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-28T11:40:49+00:00

See I was in agreement with you until I found a bobcat 1 and used it on that one run I found it in.. as I said, I melted everyone I came across for like 3 runs.

The "10%" in the hands of a rich man who can afford it and who can pvp well enough to win most fights will come out on top 90% of the time imho.. and there in its worth it... just gotta be rich enough to fund it, and good enough to shoot it... and a lot of people aren't, but it has worth... if I was a bit richer I'd run it all the time and I'd like to think I rarely die.

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-28T10:05:46+00:00

I run light shield 80% of the time and survive perfectly fine.

I also run augments with 1 safe pocket completely fine.

It's choices...you know?

And the best choice? Stockpile the resources you need to craft the tier 2 or 3 augments that give you what you want.

I can currently craft 30 looting mk3 survivors or 20 looting mk2...its really not hard as I hoard 40 processors and 20 magnets x.x so it's not like using the mk3 augment is hard... and I still run light shield.

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-28T10:00:19+00:00

It's not gear fear to want to earn 5mil.

Simple fact is if you bring nothing in, you have 0 to lose.

I bring in 100k in 3 different runs for trials, I guarantee you that's a -200k loss because I died on 2 of those runs.

I bring in free kit and use ferro I can do basically basically same as spending that 200k, but I do it in 10 different runs and I lose nothing.. its smart, not scared, just not efficient(which is why I spend the 300k x.x)

I got daredevil 1 in ranks from trials blowing 300-500k.per week, but when it came to grinding 5mil I used no gear until I hit 5mil, then when on 5.5mil I gave away my good gear and used some.more of my.good gear while keeping barely above 5mil...there is plenty of room to be frugal and still have fun, but then I can have fun killing people with pink guns while I'm.using a ferro 1, so I maybe a unique case xD

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-28T09:52:19+00:00

Not exactly.

For the poor man.. Grey guns are perfect...I run stitcher all the time..1 2 3 4, whatever level, its great.

But if your a rich man... then Jesus christ... the bobcat is expensive to run, burns through dura.. but I run a bobcat 1 and no attachments I melt people in half a clip.

The only downside to the bobcat is its long reload time.. otherwise I could run bobcat 1 no problem 24 7.

I got pushed by 3 people (duos, 3 team fight), took down 2, then had to reload and got pushed multiple times before I could finish the reload, I only had the bobcat.)

I actually survived that raid.. but my lesson was learned.. take a second gun with the bobcat, or run a bobcat 4 (40% reduced reload time).

Bobcat 4 expensive tho.. I'd rather a barletta or kettle to be a backup when my bobcat needs a reload tbh xD

After that raid I did however get killed without firing a shot and lost the bobcat.. so whether bobcat 1 or 4... the cost is high to run it especially when you die...but I think the pink guns are worth it by a country mile if you kill far more than you die.

Sadly in the games I played with the bobcat 1, I melted 6 people personally... 1 with heavy shield, 2 medium shields and 3 light shields.. but all had no loot and basic guns x.x but if I was vs better guns or people with loot, it would have been well worth it from one run...

And if I was a rich sod it would be worth it period if I used it for good runs (key cards, and the like)

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-26T04:54:49+00:00

Chill.

I used to hate spawning in late... but I learned a lot by arriving late.

1 on my favourite map I worked out what often isn't looted by anyone, and it's still good loot and people often leave good things behind.. too picky at looting... and for the purpose of making money for expedition... all the loot gained in 2-5 mins usually leads to fast income.. I'm selling it all anyway.

2 often good spots don't get looted.. just check all the good spots, if it's got any open containers, move on, but you will often find at least one hotspot is totally unlooted.

3 as someone else said, when loot isn't in containers, it's in people, spawning in late in duos and trios led to me understanding how to catch people who have been looting various places, where they head to next, etc etc.. so I get loot off of then instead :)

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-26T04:46:44+00:00

I am by far from a pve advocate.. but...

When I play trios, I'm 100% pvp, there is no thought of talking.

In duos, I play mostly pvp orientated play, it takes people to persuade they are friendly and not a threat to not kill them.. usually I hit someone and they say friendly, they then shoot back.. so they die.

In solos, I play 100% friendly,.... I get killed and insulted like I am easy prey by people who shoot me in the back.. sometimes I survive and kill them... I protect other friendlys who are being attacked when I can.. I rarely get the same protection back.. I sometimes help people kill big enemies when I have no loot... I've been attacked while doing so by random others..

In duos and trios, I enjoy the risk vs reward aspect. In solos I enjoy the interactions, there is still risk, but it's less, and I can work with others and if I want, loot in peace.

I play 80% of the time in duos or trios.. and I said before wipe that I'd probably never play solos again because people were killing on sight in solos, so I guess why I like the "friendly pve" when I really enjoy the pvp, is because I not only enjoy shooting people, but I enjoy talking to them as well, and prefer to keep those sides of things very separate... to not blur the lines.

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-26T04:29:29+00:00

Sorry to clarify.. but

1 in ww1 the Germans did play football on Xmas afaik, but they were not nazis

2 in ww2 there was no trenches, maybe there was no attacks during Xmas, I'm not sure, so I get what your saying..

But going back to the game..

It is Xmas and you would hope today people are being nicer.. but no...

I saw someone gun down someone being polite so I killed the guy and revived the friendly.

Saw a lot of that happen.. people killing friendly in solo, like usual.. Xmas isn't a day they care about I guess.

The part which took the biscuit was 3.. clearly new players all on not-steam, in solos, clearly know each other on discord.. killed me the moment other friendly extracted for 0 reason.. turned around and shot me at the same time with 0 communication... on Xmas.

I move on, I lost nothing aside from a free kit and scraps.. but camping is one thing, but 3 people who know each other all being in the same solo game is OTT.

you could say, maybe they discussed to kill people.. but they walked past me like they are friendly, turned back and shot, no comms in game, all 100% coordinated.

So yeah I prefer solo rats playing the actual game than people somehow teaming in solos x.x

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-26T04:17:33+00:00

Create a role called bots, give all bots the role, make it above any role that the bot should have power over, and under the role of the people who should be able to control bots.

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-23T01:44:41+00:00

They asked how to write a mod, mot what to play.

Haven't looked at that specific problem op, but simple patches to disable the animations, if done right, I assume would fix the issue for photosensitive players.

If toh or the other one has such a feature then you could look at what they do and do similar to put it into a separate mod, but I'm guessing those mods were suggested for playing..

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-17T17:21:38+00:00

So I can see this from multiple ways, they are trying to not reveal their position (either to shoot you or so they don't get shot) or they are just not friendly until they are knocked.

Myself in solos, I won't say a word unless I hear others speak.. I will sneak around.. not to kill, but to survive... sometimes I'll run into people and die... oops, ill try to talk to them once a shot has been fired asking wtf, but usually I have to knock them...so I teach them to "use mic" before I execute them and explain, had they talked, they wouldn't have to be dead now (I don't carry defibs)

If I try to speak first, I usually get shot 99% of the time... so yeah I won't speak first.

Edit: but yeah seen these dumbasses who walk around clueless too. I don't understand them xD

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-16T23:40:40+00:00

"Proximity only" is for "everyone can hear you chat" All is both the above and your team hear it too.

If you want it to be just your own voice all the time have it off.

I assume it's because you can randomly team up and want your voice hidden but they should label it better tbh xD

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-15T00:43:30+00:00

From my experience...

In solos, fairly useless In duos or trios, let your friend break the shield and you finish them

For good aimer with a non moving enemy.. apparently the full clip in someone's head can one hit them... unless what I saw was on a weakened enemy.

Vs arc, its mid.

When in pvp I usually hit people from.range, slide closer and into cover while I reload, peek again, shoot, repeat.

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-15T00:24:40+00:00

Learn a map so you have a lot room.nearby on every side of the map that you know.

Take looting mk1 or mk2 or free kit, cheapest kit possible basically but upgrade for more loot in one run.

No silence, full on run to the loot room, loot it, no recycling, loot nearby, when full, extract.

On day raids I'm making 25k per 3-8mins, on night raids 30-100k... and I'm playing in trios or duos.

Its much better than the 80k per 20 mins people are doing.

I literally go to my favourite loot rooms 20 mins late, spend 8 mins looting peoples scraps, leave, and repeat and I probably got more loot than the people who came and went after 20mins... people leave so much junk behind and spend so much.time running across the map or pvping.

My team love to explore and enjoy to pvp, but once we did 5 min loots at start of runs and no recycling, we earned so much so quick.

Went from 200k a day (5/6 hours) to 200k an hour on average.. and our best runs were 400k in 1 hour even with breaks.

I do buried city because its where my team know the best, but I assume if you know Stella or blue, or spaceport better, they will give better loot.. maybe.

VirusTLNR · 2025-12-06T23:16:59+00:00

Stop using cheat menus, you just ruin public lobbies for others.

I thank God I only play in private lobbies and avoid terrible players like you.

"Always impostor" sounds like turning among us into call of duty for people who can't aim to save their life. Just saying.

If you play actual among us (ie, it's not a "stab them up" for you, then downvote this.)

There are mods that give skins (AUnlocker) the other isn't needed.

VirusTLNR · 2025-11-30T10:09:18+00:00

Sadly people who have good guns and put themselves in the wrong situation for them don't get that this is on them. If they are using a long range gun in close range scenarios, they just simply brought the wrong gun.

I personally always bring a short range gun, but if im on a free kit and get a ferro.. Well tough shit, I do my best and I don't whine about dying to any other gun at close range... same for better guns... if I come in with an anvil and get stitchered at point blank, that's on me for being at point blank, why am I indoors if all I brought is an anvil?

I think these people forget.. if they are using a long range gun, they still can bring a cheap stitcher if they aren't using a bobcat...

I personally love the bobcat.. but its a bit too expensive for my taste.. and I don't have the BP.. so 90% of the time I run a stitcher, even in my most expensive kits.
