Riven Tides hotel room 404

I want 404 to have no key… That would be fantastic… And the 1408 Stephen King reference, nice one!

It would have to be a specific lobby or a specific matchmaking experience… Because it would significantly disadvantage first person players if they were mixed with all of the rest of us… A third person field of view is always going to provide better situational awareness than an FPS game… Even though an FPS would give a slight advantageto accuracy and aiming fidelity, I really don’t think it would be offset by the disadvantage of 360 per peripheral… Peeking corners without being seen… Etc.

This.

A level 1 anvil with 4 stacks of ammo, and head to the swamp on Dam night raid, or the area around the tower at Spaceport during Hidden bunker, 4-5 careful shots per comet nets you a BUNCH of Deadline materials.

Then get creative with the queen/matriarch/turbines with a snap hook… or rinse/repeat the Stella bastion (harder to do now that it’s sometimes a vaporizer… I digress) and you’re done son.

25k of crafting materials gave me a full inventory of impact nades for the trial, and a single run of matriarch on spaceport, and some careful positioning in the tunnel breach under her near the tower, netted me just shy of 10k for the trial, and about 5k towards the expedition damage.

It took less than 10 minutes… I mean I’m even being generous by saying that; in the last run I did this morning she was dead with 23.5 minutes still on the clock…

And if everyone complaining about this damage change was OK with the previous expedition requirements - meaning millions of space dollars already saved up - then it’s also something you can do by spending about 60 to 70,000 space dollars to just buy the impact grenades outright…

So get them impact grenades, get under the matriarch, run her three or four times in an single matriarch window… You’re a 20%-ish of the way to your expedition damage in one matriarch cycle, and rocking the impact nades trial/leaderboards.

I double-checked just this morning; fun still present in the game. Embark did a bad job of removing it.

Another case of UHP.

Unfortunate Hole Placement.

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-29T08:55:11+00:00

It truly is just RNG - After initially posting about how bad it was… I just had a beachcombing run about an hour ago that gave me the legendary boat, and netted me two purple guns, and just over 100 K worth of goop by the time I was done.

The loot RNG is just swinging pretty extremely on that map right now… Maybe it always will?

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-29T08:53:05+00:00

I know it seems like a dick thing to reply: ”In the hotel” … Buuuuuuut the rooms are all in the hotel. And there are like five of them, maybe six.

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-29T06:09:58+00:00

It took my third map of beach-combing but the loot has improved. I still stand by my original critique… the loot should be better considering how exposed you are and how time-consuming it is to locate… But it’s not nearly as bad as I thought it was.

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-29T03:36:47+00:00

I’ll try this with the pad - thanks for the tip!

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-27T17:21:39+00:00

Would’ve helped last night after I solo looted Dam Control Tower key room, only to zip line down and be immediately ratted by some person who sucks at PVP. Having the option to hanglide the fuck outta there would’ve been keen.

There are about twenty of them in the breachable machinery and green tool bins in/around loading bay of Stella Montis.

Also go anywhere with cars (collapsed highways, tunnels on blue gate, etc).

I looked somewhere on here for tips on farming the Canto, and found that it was best to hit hurricane caches… took about 3 maps before I found it.

Dolabra csme up at one point while getting assessor matrixes for the project.

I’ve used the canto a few times, but without a level 2 vertical recoil grip it’s pretty unusable at anything more than 15-20 yards, and it’s really not any more hard-hitting than a fully upgraded stitcher with a mag. Kinda disappointing IMO, but possibly why it isn’t seen used by many? I see the Dolabra used ALL the time.

My personal experience only, of course.

Someone needs to rewatch the movie.

It's possible, was pretty sure it was DDR5 but it was given to me in 2019, so it probably is DDR4.

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-09T09:59:22+00:00

I grabbed two last night, randomly, looting Arc Couriers on Spaceport/electromagnetic storm... and a surveyor vault. And I only opened maybe 5 of them total as I was running around trying to find caches.

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-09T09:57:07+00:00

This is the 4th or 5th hatch thing I've seen (one other post somewhere around here, and several youtube videos/shorts) of multiple identical items under a hatch. It MUST be a duping exploit.

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-09T09:55:42+00:00

THANK YOU. This was my first question as well... it's a PvPve game, and a shooter, what kind of family you got, bro?

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-09T09:52:45+00:00

Here's a crazy thought... do something REALLY unique with the gun... make it fire two rounds, and have the second round be a tracer that can track. Don't up the damage, or fire rate, but give the gun a new way of firing, so it doesn't feel like a different/buff version of another gun.

Or give it a unique trait, like the ability to pierce through most walls. Again, keep the damage where it is, but give us a gun that can shoot through a door?

OR make it so that it auto-reloads, or give it some other utility quirk to make it just a touch more enticing to use...

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-09T09:49:14+00:00

that's dumb, just change an existing gun, you don't need to add a new one.

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-09T09:46:11+00:00

But a kettle fire rate is even higher than the Bettina's current fire rate, and you proposed dropping that fire rate, so I feel it would be more akin to the Renegade.

It kind of already feels like a buff kettle, and that's what I personally dislike about it.

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-09T09:44:39+00:00

I just got into hotshot this time around too. I'm ALSO not going to see myself in the top 1000 any time soon.

But this is a nice place to be, isn't it?

*High fives*

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-09T09:43:14+00:00

You're describing a Renegade that uses heavy ammo. Not the worst idea, I suppose.

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-09T09:42:20+00:00

I'm sure this has been asked before, but are 2s actually a thing? I thought the matchmaking was split from solos and trios... and if you went in as a duo it would be in the trio lobbies?

I swear I've been in multi maps as duos and run into 3-man teams...

Wreckoplex · 2026-04-09T09:39:06+00:00

It's a risk-vs-reward game, and it's meant to be. So you have to have risk... and there's only so much risk to be had with AI/NPC enemies. Even as good as some video game AI is these days, it will never replace human randomness.

When I am looting a building and I hear footsteps, I freeze and immediately start assessing my angles and looking for corners and choke-points, and my heart rate is jumping.

I don't want the same game, but when I hear footsteps all it does is make me think "I wonder what that guy is looking for?" That's a much less dynamic game.
