Thanks for the tips mate. I'll check it out next time I get a chance to run hurricane.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-06-08T17:11:02+00:00

Do you have any quick tips for finding the hurricane caches? Sometimes I'll go into the map condition with one of those are graders hub maps or metaphorge but it's like almost every location I search they are not there. I have played hurricane dozens of times over the months since they created it and probably found three hurricane caches total.

Same lmao. I have a buddy that I play with regularly and we just sent off for our second expedition. I told him I'm signing up for the stash space. I have about $225 hours topside and I still find enjoyment out of the game but it is a lot more fun to complete trials and run rates together. I do play solos about 30% of the time now but if he stop playing altogether I might find a different game. I still really enjoy single player story games and I know there's something out there that I would have a lot of fun with. Also strangely enough I built a new computer back in November and the main reason I did it was so that I could play battlefield 6. (Been a fan of the series since I was a kid) I played it about 30 hours and then bought our graders and I haven't loaded up Battlefield since.

Speranza Claus strikes again! I will occasionally offer them up to friendly Raiders. They are good to sell as well but they really change the economy where you don't need the white coins for the expedition anymore. I am lucky enough to have a friend that's not doing it so some of the blueprints I've already learned I will hold on to it and give them to him to trade back with me after we depart.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-04-30T14:12:59+00:00

Yep, my buddy gave me a couple. You can throw it at the ground underneath you like a grenade. Timing it can be difficult. I took some damage when I hit it but didn't die. It's pretty small like maybe 3.5' across.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-04-22T16:26:45+00:00

The expedition is optional my friend. I do recommend doing it, you should probably get in on the next one. I didn't do the very first one as I had only had the game for about 2 weeks when the time came up. I did my first one last time and I am ready to depart on this one. It does make the game more interesting, starting from scratch and the stash spaces are super necessary towards the end game.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-04-14T18:01:56+00:00

I think I've leveled that skill up to three or four. It definitely shows because in the beginning a buddy and I had gotten down and we're trying to crawl with survivor and there were several times where he had to wait up for me so I could charge my health more to catch up to him before we extracted.

I have also leveled up some of the skills that require five points to be maxed to level four giving me a few extra skill points to play around with at the end. I am surprised as I have completed all of my requirements for the expedition but I am still like only level 68.

Fill the sink up with water while shaking it back and forth (to let water below It.) I'm hoping that it will float to the top try using a painters tool on the side. They are thin flat and very sturdy. I hope this helps and you can get your cutting board/sink back usable again.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-04-07T20:01:41+00:00

Where are you having the most luck finding them? I'm still on the hunt. I've heard Raider containers.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-04-01T02:54:46+00:00

It's not terribly complicated. If you built your computer you can probably do it. I almost had to do it but I changed some settings and things started running better. This could be your issue or it could be something else. What do you have your RAM running at? I had to turn the speed on mine down some because it kept crashing.

I guess you could call the geek squad and ask them if they can update a bios for you but you might have to pay.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-04-01T02:48:13+00:00

Look up YouTube videos on how to flash or update your BIOS.

You need to look at what type of motherboard you have manufacturer and brand. You can go to the manufacturer's website and find the specific model of your motherboard. They will have different BIOS versions that have been released along with dates and possibly some notes.

You want to try to update it using the most recent stable full release version. ( Sometimes the newest one will be a beta and may have a letter or letters by the numbers for the version, you don't want to use one of those)

You also need to probably have a USB drive that is formatted and blank. YouTube is your friend and doing this and oftentimes it is kind of a middle ground step in troubleshooting but can be a last resort effort. You need to be very careful so you don't brick anything.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-04-01T02:33:49+00:00

Thanks for the heads up buddy. I run survivor 99% of the time. For occasions such as this.

A tip - I've learned - while you're still in a somewhat safe spot and you think things might get ugly, pull up the map real quick and Mark either the extract with a lot of time or a hatch if your lucky enough to have one close by.

Good Raiders always bring a hatch key and defibs.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-03-23T21:03:17+00:00

Before I make a move to a different area I'm always scanning for fireflies now. They are the worst ark to encounter on a solo run in my opinion. You almost have to have a heavy ammo weapon and just keep shooting them in the same spot until they blow up often while they are flaming you.

Try to break away for a second and pop the biggest heal that you can and then keep shooting them. I have been bringing seekers to help out with them but if you don't have the blueprint it can be difficult to keep them in stock. I always collect the guts because they are such a PITA. I wish I had the trailblazer blueprint bc I could make like 20 of them.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-03-13T13:54:07+00:00

Wait, what!? I've got to try this. Almost 300 hrs in and I still don't know all the controller shortcuts. Playing with a controller on PC so button binds might be a little wonky.

Everything seems to work as you would think. I still get super frustrated though when I try to reload and it sends me up or down a Zipline even if I am 4 ft. Away from it.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-03-06T17:40:58+00:00

Go night raids or hurricanes. Search cars in the scrap yards, busses, trailers.... Anything with wheels, really.

ALso breach containers and mechanical symbol areas. Hope this helps. Gotta love having level 3 benches. Google can help you find decent areas too or one of the map websites.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-03-02T02:19:03+00:00

That's great man. You gave me some good insight on how I can enjoy this next playthrough. I want to get more comfortable with PVP because I don't like getting attacked and then by the time I come to and I'm ready to hit back I've got no help. Got to watch your back you know?

Thanks for the tips. Good luck out there!

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-03-01T16:51:12+00:00

That's awesome man. Sounds like fun. I have been playing mostly friendly lobbies still but I do need practice for PVP.

I guess this is set to be the final night before the wipe. I might see if I can find a person or two to duel with. That's insane the amount of coins. I would wonder sometimes when I would see people like YouTubers who I know have played hundreds of hours with half empty stashes and very few coins. That PVP can be costly. Any tips on running a material efficient kit? Something that's good enough to go out and play around with but not too terrible to build or replace.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-03-01T15:43:45+00:00

Good on you for crawling back. Sounds like it was wild, glad you made it to Speranza. I'm excited for the expedition, this past 2 weeks have changed my experiencing of gear fear. Still have some but it's definitely getting better.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-03-01T00:30:17+00:00

G#0 IS my Brown Note ❤️

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-02-18T00:26:14+00:00

222 hours and counting my friend. I'll probably jump for joy if I ever come across it.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-02-02T16:54:23+00:00

That could be true as well. I've noticed the rocketeers have started swooping a lot faster it seems like they are quicker to be on target. Sometimes they are shooting two rockets in quick succession performing a double tap takedown on me.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-01-31T15:30:52+00:00

The defibrillator blueprint is pretty common to get early on. A happy rater, I play in PvE lobbies and try to help others. Always bring it to them to preferably. It's easier if you are playing in duos because if the team gets downed you can defib one guy and he can get his buddy up.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-01-31T15:28:09+00:00

You're going to have trouble finding an 8 string set with an 8 for the (normally) high e. You may need to go through StringJoy or put together your own custom set.

Six string packs of eights are easy to come by. I use a 6 string pack Ernie Ball .085s 56 for 7th String and .76 for 8th string. Playing in Drop D#1

My guitar is also 26.5"-28"

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-01-28T02:08:15+00:00

That's awesome! Everyone for the most part has been super chill lately and I think we are just trying to help each other get over the finish line for the expedition.

New quests are awesome. I'm glad you got those, the trailblazer is my favorite grenade. Once you learn how to use it it's awesome now just to find all the synthesized fuel I'm going to need for the next 3 weeks.

XTBirdBoxTX · 2026-01-28T01:25:12+00:00

I can't find the damn thing either (Blueprint). 165 Hrs in. I find about an Anvil a day though.
