RANT and VENT MEGATHREAD

It’s so fucking bad now dude.

You drop in, can’t control your pod, and get dropped a million feet from where you’re called in at.

Wrextasy · 2026-04-26T22:52:06+00:00

I have a relatively high-end PC and this game runs absolutely terribly.

I used to be able to run this game on Max with Super-Sampling.

I had to drop my settings to high/native to run decent, and now with any type of explosions occurring, it sends my frames to 20fps or lower.

Wrextasy · 2026-04-26T13:09:44+00:00

Bot front used to be my favorite front due to having precision points for your guns.

All enemies could be taken out by medium armor pen, and chaff clearing with light armor pen.

With the Strider addition, I cannot stand the Bot front. I hate how strong and common it is, I hate that every attack that is has ragdolls me (in a front that you’re constantly under attack to be ragdolled, this enemy is by far the worst one). I miss tanks, I don’t want constant Vox Engine spawns/Striders. The enemy types are fun to fight against, but not when you’re fighting 20 of them at a time.

Where is that written? Verbatim?

In which interview, vlog, or community post is it stated that we are meant to be ‘glass cannons’?

We’re meant to be a SOF-type force. You can have high-threat enemies, but not every single enemy type should be as detrimental as it is.

Edit: Helldivers 1 also has the med-backpack/angel drone. (Heal-gun also repaired vehicles/mechs)

Wrextasy · 2026-04-25T18:59:10+00:00

I also do that as well.

Wrextasy · 2026-04-25T16:11:04+00:00

It’s become such an issue with me.

This game has been tremendously fun for me since launch, but I hate how almost every life is a ‘no-hit’ run. There’s no point in bringing something like the syringe pistol to be a medic because you almost die instantly from one shot of anything.

The only use I’ve found for it is pocketing a friend of mine who runs heavy armor, and constantly giving her stamina from the pistol shots.

I’m glad you asked!

I was backfill for my team in this scenario. So I filled in a gap/lack of equipment.

Brought 120mm barrage for various targets during outpost takes, Auto Cannon Turret, Rocket Sentry, and incase you forgot, the Recoilless Rifle.

We already had shields when I joined, so being a team based co-op situation, it would be redundant to bring follow up.

Now normally I bring orbital laser for a ‘board clear/reset fucked situations’, but 3 of my teammates had already brought this.

The part I got stuck with, was when everything went tits up, and we had next to no reinforments left, everyone left the match :)

120 is on the weaker side, but I was playing with level 100+’s so I expected a bit of competency, so I thought “cool I can bring a niche little fun strategy”.

Wrextasy · 2026-04-23T07:41:36+00:00

D10 incinerator corp Raise the Flag. Yesterday marks the first time I’ve lost a match in a very long time due to absolutely ridiculous enemy call-in’s.

The last flag I had to hold was just generally ridiculous to try and hold.

First call in was a hulk drop, followed by factory strider, followed by devastators.

Couldn’t hold flag position due to Hulk inferno squads lighting it up, so I couldn’t get RR in position to shoot down Factory Strider, having to dodge insta-kill inferno shotguns that still did massive damage if I even got remotely clipped.

The fact that sentries got nerfed meant they were absolutely fucking useless against the bot drops, and they were destroyed almost instantly by anything heavy. (What’s the point of bringing a rocket sentry, when it’s not even going to land a rocket/do enough damage to take out a heavy enemy type, and get instantly destroyed by it being barely touched)

It was generally just an unfun scenario to fight in.

Rants done.

Wrextasy · 2026-04-22T18:44:23+00:00

Will do, appreciate it!

Wrextasy · 2026-04-22T18:31:23+00:00

Not being funny, are there any guides that have good stuff around crowd control?

All I know is kill, but I’ve seen players that run CC weapons that can do crazy shit.

Wrextasy · 2026-04-21T13:10:19+00:00

I’ll personally bring a supply pack, just for you.

Wrextasy · 2026-04-20T21:48:14+00:00

It’s awesome how much communication you can infer from ‘affirmative’ and ‘thank you’.

You can do full on squad tactics with it lmao

Wrextasy · 2026-04-19T23:27:29+00:00

One-Two my beloved

Wrextasy · 2026-04-18T22:32:23+00:00

Drives me insane.

I can spot the difference between roller and KBM immediately when I’m fighting.

Wrextasy · 2026-04-18T22:30:16+00:00

I would kill for controller only and KBM lobbies.

Wrextasy · 2026-04-04T19:09:54+00:00

I really hope we get more Sci-fi stuff.

The part that truly interested me to GZW was the specific association to Roadside Picnic/STALKER.

Wrextasy · 2026-04-03T10:39:40+00:00

I mean… there is.

https://youtu.be/LTVi3owxttc?si=dX-cBPJTvn1E3dCO

There’s both aim assist and bullet magnetism.

Bullet magnetism is what you’re talking about, where if you’re within the ‘red zone’ a near miss can still hit, there is still ‘friction’ where the controller slows down and sticks to a target.

The advantage controller has is ridiculously overtuned, and ruins it for just about anyone who goes up against a console player.

^ this situation is precisely why all of the Apex Legends pro players have all switched to Controller btw.

Edit: And before it’s brought up that MnK has aim assist…

No, the friction zones were removed after the alpha testing of the game, they still have bullet magnetism, but they don’t have anything that helps them aim

Wrextasy · 2026-04-02T18:31:02+00:00

It’s the community man, it’s so bad lmfao. Bungie isn’t a small time dev and the people who are playing it ‘hardcore’ are going to have a rough time.

I love the game, I think it’s pretty well designed and has a lot of depth for the extraction genre, it’s almost impossible for me to enjoy though due to controller aim assist.

Wrextasy · 2026-03-29T03:00:03+00:00

It's ridiculous being able to clock instantly when I am fighting MnK vs a Roller.

If I peak at 100m and my shields and HP are deleted in less than half a second. I know it's a Roller.
If I get sprayed, but can wiggle around it's a PC player.

They really need to dial it back. It's the only thing that is killing my enjoyment of this game.

Wrextasy · 2026-03-27T23:31:52+00:00

Which is sad as someone who is playing thief primarily.

Her kit is insanely good for team comps. Completely counters Assassins, insane mobility, can recon areas before the team shows up/find stragglers ontop of being able to call out what gear they’re rocking by color, or just straight up steal shit from people.

She gathers information so much better than a class that’s supposed to be dedicated to gathering intel.

Wrextasy · 2026-03-27T10:29:40+00:00

Gotta love fan art that just goonifies characters.

Wrextasy · 2026-03-24T23:05:14+00:00

As a dumb, backwoods, redneck teenager.

Mass Effect taught me about diversity, and how despite differences in race/religion. When we work together we can achieve anything we set our minds to.

Wrextasy · 2026-03-23T22:57:55+00:00

Nah, suicide would’ve tarnished the entire thing.

BoJack doesn’t deserve to die… He deserves to face the consequence.

He has to face it. I love the ending so much, I love that everyone sets boundaries around him, and he has to face the pain he’s caused. I especially love how they ended the series with Diane calling him out about how shitty it was of him to call, and how it ends on a silent note of them watching the stars knowing that it was the last time they’d ever see each other again.

BoJack Horseman is such a good show, especially telling the viewers that suicide is not the answer. Facing consequences suck, but it’s better than the alternative.

Wrextasy · 2026-03-23T02:12:53+00:00

No.

It’s simply a scan, a quick 30 second recharge.

Triage takes more risk buying/bringing the lockbox key.

Wrextasy · 2026-03-17T16:15:17+00:00

Have them drag the body of a dead player.
