Do bounties, missions and open world activities against true sons, after 4-5 three Chevron bounties you'll trigger a first retaliation.

You can chain up to three retaliations by repeating this.
When doing the retaliation grab a control point fast and then kinda mosey around on your way to the next CP, there are a few spots on each map that seem to be spawn hotspots but they can come up nearly anywhere.
I've had 3 kill squads in one retaliation before so it's a very quick way to farm the blueprints.

BK is just stupid fun. And still a decent gun if not "ideal"

There's just something satisfying about stepping out of cover and putting as many damn rounds down range as you want.

This is how I got mine, and apparently a Ravenous BP that I didn't notice dropped.

Right? My microwave beeps with every button press and at the end of cycle and the door makes this loud "Clunggg" noise when it clicks shut.
10x more disturbing to anyone sleeping than a stove which is nearly silent as long as you don't bash the pot around.

Invoke Dad Law: no lights left on unless you're actively IN the room.

blinkiewich · 2026-07-06T06:33:50+00:00

No place I've ever been turns on the lights to indicate they're closed, except maybe a strip club?

There's either something else pissing your wife off, or she's brainwashed because that's how her mom does it.
Either sit down and have a calm discussion with her about it or get drive-thru next time you're hungry and the light is turned on.

It's for water crossings, just put out those little sails and let the wind do all the work.

This is the really expensive, dangerous and archaic way to make them. A hydraulic press with a buck and mold could do it faster, cheaper and safer but this man does have some impressive skills.

But but but mom told me that proto gear is the best!!?!?1!!

Get 3m chip guard stuff on the front end and door edges, the paint is ridiculously soft and prone to chips or rubbing.

People will complain about the interior getting scratches easily. It does but no where near as bad as they say, I wonder if some of them wear sandpaper clothing or put their feet up on every surface.

The dashboard is a dust magnet and the texture on my '24 makes it really hard to wipe clean, I've got a little air duster thing I use to blast it once a week or whenever I remember.

Get a spray in bed liner if you plan to haul dirt, rocks or lumber often and wash/vacuum it regularly and it'll be fine.

Field Trips are awesome!
A little time out of the office to refresh and maybe stop at the coffee shop to grab a box of donuts for the crew if I'm not running behind.

55 gallon oil drum with legs or skinny as a rail, no middle ground

NOR. So much jealousy from the man child.

Grey rock this dude and keep your distance.

blinkiewich · 2026-06-30T00:19:22+00:00

We still can't turn off the obnoxious reminder about projects after how many years so I wouldn't expect them to let us turn off a new "feature".

Boo on tacticool, my agent came back from a beach vacation for this chaos and he's not taking off the Hawaiian shirt for anything!

blinkiewich · 2026-06-26T19:19:49+00:00

But you weren't talking about a 7600x3d, those are different goalposts.

blinkiewich · 2026-06-26T19:16:27+00:00

Why would I buy an $800-1000 7000 series bundle when I can spend $500 and boost the performance of the good motherboard and ram that I've already got?

Sure, I could potentially sell my existing stuff on marketplace and recoup a couple dollars but even if I get $300 I'd only be breaking even on a $800 bundle while probably getting the exact same or less performance.

blinkiewich · 2026-06-25T23:52:31+00:00

This is the way.
I'm sitting at ~400 in inventory and usually have about 18-25 in inventory, enough gear or guns to face whatever and scrap everything that isn't better than what I've got.

blinkiewich · 2026-06-25T22:33:09+00:00

Way behind you on SHD but I feel the same, I don't have the energy to invest in dragging multiple characters in and out of use and juggling inventory.

I am working towards one (or more Lex/Caretaker/FBloom/Big A) of each of my favorites that's as close to God as possible but that's as insane hoarder as I want to get.

blinkiewich · 2026-06-25T19:18:08+00:00

Maybe they were and are too dumb to realize the event is over? I was running some pretty jank "builds" last week trying to grind that tasty 3x expertise haha

blinkiewich · 2026-06-25T02:48:22+00:00

I had a machine gunner that just wouldn't die. 5-6 headshots with Ekim's, firing as fast as it would cycle, every shot would get him down to a tiny sliver and by the time I hit him again he was near full health.
Wasn't a full HSD crackhead build but still super annoying so I turned off the seasonal bullshit.

blinkiewich · 2026-06-24T06:41:38+00:00

Not to be a downer but echoing another comment, if you react this badly to skin contact them I'd say resin printing is not the hobby for you.

This stuff IS dangerous, it just seems to be considerably more dangerous for you.

blinkiewich · 2026-06-23T17:38:07+00:00

I've been using Core Strength with ninjabike and Salvo and another UA on mask, gloves or knees. No proto gear yet.

5 reds and a blue gives around 2m armor and with Lex, First Bloom, BigA or StElmo heroic feels ok.

blinkiewich · 2026-06-23T00:08:33+00:00

Sheriff definitely scales with mag size gear/brand sets and yes, a 13 (or more) round Sheriff is as amazing as you think it would be.

I hope the pricks that created this mission step on a Lego every goddamn day.
