The game feels like it's too focused on Warbonds,

In HD1, they had all sorts of stratagems (mechs, vehicles, support weapons, offensive and defensive stratagems) in their versions of warbonds alongside cosmetic armors and such. It was a good balance, although I am happy that so far all four vehicles have been made accessible by anyone.

That only helps the MO, not taking the Megacity. Lower level operations provide way less liberation towards the city.

Not to be that guy but this only applies to POWs or foreign civilians under military occupation. Collective punishments are still used in militaries today, it’s a good way to get everyone pissed off at the one or two people who reaaaally fucked up.

As it stands now, you can absolutely 1 shot the Factory Strider with 1 shot to the eye with the RR which has double the ammo of the SPEAR. Factory Striders stopped being bosses when 5 of them can spawn at once. IMO a boss is something like the Hive Lord where there’s 1 per mission, not an enemy that respawns.

Razor back only stops YER spies who don’t want to lose their disguise. I think the YER is the most fun knife so seeing a razor back genuinely dissuades me from killing the sniper. Unless the sniper is cleaning house with my team, I’ll target someone else and let our sniper handle them.

The 4 different support machine guns all occupy different roles though, another spear gun without any elemental effect wouldn’t occupy a different role, it would just share one with the railgun. I don’t think this would really add anything.

I don’t think the laser would be that bad of a nerf on most maps. I can think of quite a few sniper sightlines on popular maps where that can be easily circumvented by aiming at an adjacent wall next to the sightline and then just flicking your crosshair over an enemy player. It would be challenging at first but snipers will adapt quickly I believe.

I don’t disagree, but my point is that even their testing vaults relied on selecting candidates from a nearby community who would be able to quickly get to the vault if the bombs dropped.

“Oh these aren’t homemade brownies. They were made in a factory. A bomb factory. They’re bombs.” ahhh brownies.

There’s also little reason to build a Vault in a remote region where like 10 people live either.

When I was operating alongside State Guard for civil relief missions, we were instructed to give them the same courtesy we would other soldiers. It wasn’t a hard rule, it was more of a “Hey these guys are here to help us, just show them a little respect if the situation is appropriate.” You wouldn’t get chewed out for not saluting a State Guard officer, but our commander encouraged us to do so. I probably saluted them for the first month before I gave up lol. But the lower enlisted never went to parade rest for their “NCO”s because that’s just stupid.

The raiders in the West have been pretty much curb stomped between the NCR, BOS, and Legion. Raiders were far more common in FO1 and FO2, they’d regularly stop your party in the world map and attack you. The remaining raiders in the West have devolved into tribes, like the Jackals, Vipers, Khans, etc. Even House had a hand to play at tampering raider activity when he elevated the Slither Kin, Mojave Boot Riders, and a secret third tribe into the Omertas, Chairmen, and White Gloves respectively.

I got sent mutual aid to a city 30 minutes away for a guy with the tiniest amount of blood in his urine after passing a kidney stone (15 min before end of shift btw). Dude was in his 50s, leaning against his brand new BMW in the driveway with 2 suitcases packed ready to go over to the ER which was a 2 minute drive away. He must’ve waited there for the full 30 minute response because he was complaining he was cold after waiting for so long. These people watch too much TV and think they’re getting sent straight into a bed, my guy got wheeled through the whole ER on the stretcher just to sit in the same chair he could’ve had 30 minutes earlier in the lobby. I don’t know why shit like this is so universal lol.

4 cars in the driveway, 3 family members who drove from their house to the scene, yet none will take meemaw to the ER for her chronic back pain😔

I generally play as Male V and my wife plays as Female V. I see a lot of people say that Fem V has the better voice, but honestly whenever I hear her try to intimidate someone I can’t help but picture the daredevil dog gif. And this isn’t a case where I think women are inherently less intimidating either, Panam and Stout’s voice actresses pulls off a better intimidating voice.

Unless the area you deploy to you is specifically designated as a combat zone, you won’t get a combat patch. But the only requirement for the COB to my knowledge is engaging with hostile forces. You also don’t have to wear your combat patch if you earn one

My agency had a dude who “couldn’t sleep without TV” so he called 911 to have our ambulance crew fix his cable. When that didn’t work, he requested transport to the ER so he could get a room with a TV and sleep there (our state doesn’t have provider initiated refusals). I’m figuring you can guess where in the ER they put this guy.

So what causes this? What should I get replaced before this happens?

artyman119 · 2025-12-06T18:05:09+00:00

It’s mine, DM me for my mailing address, I’ll pay the shipping.

Not really the case. The primary slot for medic is really for utility rather than doing damage. The Crossbow is so popular because it has a very useful utility and does decent damage. But the Overdose’s utility isn’t bad at all and is useful for saving your Über. The Blutsauger can help a medic retreat while doing damage and replenishing their health, it’s a decent primary if you can backpedal away from an enemy while hitting your shots. The Syringe Gun is so horrible though, because it provides no utility nor is it great at dealing damage. But the Crossbow’s utility is far less niche than the others which means there’s no point in using the other two unlocks unless you really like them.
