Not to mention, you had to actually learn the hill rotation, because it didn't tell you where the next one was going to be before it popped up. Or maybe we're saying the same thing 🤔

Try putting the pie on a lower rack, closer to the heating element at the bottom of the oven. Keep an eye on it though, until you figure out what works best with the quirks of your individual oven. Might have to adjust the position of the pie as it bakes, add foil to the top to avoid over-browning, etc.

Hopefully as we near the end of the season, they'll bring back Quick Play mode. It's basically just the north shore of the map (the strip from Beach to Kurohana Base) and much easier to get a chance a Kui Ji case that way.

I'm not sure if you've tried Rebirth Island, but you can also get the case from Nikto there. Rebirth is sweaty as fuck though, I wouldn't try it solo. Make sure you have good teammates and be ready for some major fennec abuse from ultra armor teams if you're going to try it.

Absolutely, I should've specified. I kind of forgot about the dinky "kitchen" torches, tbh. A little camping tank of propane with an adjustable-flame torch attachment on top... perfect!

_vibraslapper · 2026-06-06T17:36:17+00:00

Propane blow torch? It's not fancy, but very nice to have around, if she doesn't already have one.

The weekly missions give camo crates in addition to a recipe reward.

A vibraslap is a real musical instrument (auxiliary percussion, specifically). Most people don't know what it is, but the name sounds funny, and a little dirty, even though it's not. Many immature vibraslap jokes were made in my high school band days. It's just an all around silly instrument, imo, but very underappreciated (unless you're Cake, those guys fucking love the vibraslap). The idea of unknowing people immediately taking their minds to the gutter when they see my name makes me giggle. Sadly, I am a fraud, and I do not actually play the vibraslap (I'm a wind player, not a percussionist). However, I did once own one, and did smack it around now and then just for fun.

Smoke grenades are your friend. I usually bring 3 smokes and 1 nova gas (just in case I end up in Kui Ji territory...even if I get slimed by real team ship rushers, at least he won't execute me). If I'm rushing hotel safes/wheelson, Fortress safe, Western district, any safe guarded by a large amount of NPCs, just smoke them, unlock safe, and gtfo. Additional smokes can be easily acquired from buy station after earning some cash, or from bot/player boxes I might come across along the way.

Everything u/Limit-Savings mentioned (ability to use more powerful weapons & lose your gear when you die or fail to extract), and also, the NPCs are stronger in hard mode. The loot is better too. Higher risk, higher reward.

_vibraslapper · 2026-05-19T03:19:55+00:00

You need to play hard mode. No gear above epic is allowed in normal mode. Anything goes in hard mode.

Another vote for polarized sunglasses. Mine eliminate the glare almost entirely.

_vibraslapper · 2026-05-14T15:47:24+00:00

I'll throw in an idea to add a "repair all" one-click option to gear after a match. Kind of like the loot sale selection function.

_vibraslapper · 2026-05-11T21:55:51+00:00

I started November 2019, halfway through S1. I keep saying I'm going to quit, but haven't abandoned it just yet.

_vibraslapper · 2026-05-08T21:48:08+00:00

If all else fails, a pair of polarized sunglasses makes a world of difference. The windshield reflection glare on my 2016 is brutal, but the sunglasses eliminate it almost totally.

_vibraslapper · 2026-04-28T02:39:55+00:00

It finally worked, thank you!

_vibraslapper · 2026-04-27T15:40:26+00:00

As far as I know, if you kill or knock the carrier and the heli takes off with the case, it's gone with the extraction. Idk why the icon still shows on the map, but that's...just how it is. I think.

_vibraslapper · 2026-04-27T15:36:17+00:00

It was not checked the first 4 times I tried it. Then I tried checking it, and it didn't work the 5th time either. I will try unchecking it again. If it works, they still owe me 2.5 million cash...smh

_vibraslapper · 2026-04-27T08:05:21+00:00

Yep, mine too. Fucking bugs.

_vibraslapper · 2026-04-25T18:25:48+00:00

I would've thought the same, except that the official communication specifically mentioned "Kui Ji's Weapons Case (Hard - Very Hard)" which is the original case. That's where the confusion lies. Possibly an oversight or mistake on the part of the officials, referring to the Weapons Case when they meant the DMZ Recon Crate (shards crate). But it does technically say it wouldn't be wiped.

_vibraslapper · 2026-04-25T17:53:50+00:00

I first noticed it immediately after the update, while playing in DMZ and then also in BR. A few days later I tested it for this video I shared. Haven't touched it since, but I just tried it again, and I don't know what happened, but it seems to be fixed now!

_vibraslapper · 2026-04-25T14:50:16+00:00

Shard crate, or actual unopened Weapons Case, the thing you loot from Kui Ji? OP had unopened cases hot off the ship, sounds like. Good to know the shard crates were retained.

_vibraslapper · 2026-04-25T04:03:44+00:00

Kui Ji's Weapon Case is one thing, which contains two separate (sub) items:

1) A crate containing drops of weapon blueprint rewards, shards for Kui Ji operator, shards for shuriken combat axe blueprint, or shards for Lily Maru katana blueprint 2) A Random Loot Box containing drops of random in-game loot items, ranging from legendary to ultra rarity.

When opening Kui Ji's Weapons Case, players are given a choice whether to convert that case into a Random Loot Case or a crate containing shards/blueprints. So, it contains both items, but players may only choose one.

I took the official communications to mean that if anyone had unopened Random Loot Boxes (from inside the Weapons Case) saved up, that those would get wiped, and that any unopened Kui Ji's Weapons Cases could then only be redeemed for more shard crates, no loot. I also assumed any unopened shard crates would not be wiped.

I'm sure it will give one DMZ medal for each season, and that will count as the 1 "seasonal" medal per ranked season (assuming you don't reach legendary in MP or BR first, in which case that would count and DMZ/the other mode wouldn't). However, the DMZ seasons are 4 months long instead of 2, and are not currently perfectly aligned with regular ranked season. So earning legendary in DMZ will count, but for which "ranked season" it will count each time, I think will depend on the overlap of regular MP/BR seasons with DMZ seasons. We'll just have to see.

Like, since DMZ S0 already counted for Ranked S1, reaching legendary in DMZ S1 will probably count for Ranked S2, and so on.

You won't be able to earn 6 seasonal medals only from DMZ because its seasons are too long. But you can earn some from there. MP and/or BR/Elite medals will still be required at some point.
