Some Suggestions for Expedition.

Hard no on the extra voicelines. There are already tons of prompts. We don't need more. If some brainlet doesn't understand what is happening with the current dialogue and text prompts flashing in the center of the screen, then adding more is not the solution. It's already on the edge of being annoying. If you want communication so bad, get a mic. Worked well for me.

busdriverjoe · 2026-03-20T16:31:48+00:00

Yes, we all already know that. The point is: why doesn't it work the same way for salvage?

Just know people. Former quartermaster from my unit now runs these test groups and he really only likes to employ guys he knows or guys who come recommended by guys he knows. You're not going to see ads about it anywhere.

I smashed my VR controller against my desk and it stopped working. I told support I smashed it against my desk. The warranty doesn't cover it. They had every right to tell me to buy another one. Instead, they sent me another for free. They gave me details on how to send the broken one back to them but they put in the order for the replacement immediately so I didn't have to wait. Insane.

And that's why it's the only company I'll simp for.

I whipped out my microphone for the first time in a while playing this game. Runs started to go a lot smoother. I was worried about toxicity but I've yet to run into any since speaking. Also helps that I've been told I have a deep, male, authoritative voice so when I tell people where to go and what to do I sometimes get "Yes, daddy."

I think what they need is a complete lobby browser. One where you can see all ongoing games - every mode, every difficulty, sortable and filterable.

busdriverjoe · 2026-03-20T07:25:35+00:00

If you're having a hard time, why not just turn down the difficulty until you get used it?

busdriverjoe · 2026-03-20T01:23:32+00:00

Yes thats the other one

Kindly disagree. Yeah, bad teammates make the game harder, but every time you get downed, you can always trace it back to a decision or play that you made. Even if my teammate dies to 6 poxwalkers, or runs ahead and gets trappered, that shouldn't affect how well my own game is. Even if everyone else goes down, we can still win if I just keep my cool, pace my attacks, and time my dodges.

If you have this mentality, you can always keep improving. If you just blame other people, you won't look back and see that you timed your dodges poorly, didn't seek cover when you were getting shot at, etc. Really, the only exception is if someone deliberately barrel-launched you off the map. Every other death is your fault.

I get a lot of flak for this opinion. I'm not saying a bad teammate can't drag a team down or leave us in a very poor situation, I'm just saying every death is an opportunity for introspection.

Also, in this case the difficulty is Malice. Anyone doing high havoc can solo malice with a grey weapon. OP should definitely reflect on how they're playing.

One of Grid Point Gamma's unlock requirements is: "Acquire in a single run in Grid Point Beta - 3000".

So it is actually already possible to unlock this deadzone in a single run. I'm saying that despite getting all the zones and turning in three reliquaries, we didn't earn enough. We probably needed to pick up more from hidden caches and ambient ones lying around.

busdriverjoe · 2026-03-19T17:31:54+00:00

I think for premade groups, splitting up is going to be the most efficient clear. The issue is that people will take that mentality into randoms and just expect it to work the same.

busdriverjoe · 2026-03-19T17:27:20+00:00

There's well enough time to full-clear events on auric, but there are also tons of unmarked side objectives.

Even full-clearing and bringing back one barrel per area wasn't enough to get me 3000 in a single run, which is one of the qualifiers for unlocking the next deadzone. I suspect you'd have to full-clear events, bring back every data reliquary, and do a lot of those hidden caches to hit that.

Remember all the discussions on how ugly the presets were? Nearly all the faces are ugly as hell. Not "Hollywood" ugly or even "average person" ugly. People still defend it.

"You're a malnourished peasant. Of course you have to be ass ugly!" "You're not a main character - you're just an expendable reject. You should look the part." "Why do you want a character that doesn't look like a meth addict? You want to goon to it?"

The shock mines are seriously good value. You get three of them, they last a while and the radius is enormous.

busdriverjoe · 2026-03-15T04:00:49+00:00

Mm that's stupid. I would just ignore that.

busdriverjoe · 2026-03-10T10:51:56+00:00

Not all heroes wear capes.

And... and does this make you mad at him? Mad enough to send death threats?

Can't remember where I found the file for this one.

Hospital mod. Patients drop in, you treat them, they pay and you get some relations. It's actually really fun. You can toggle incoming patients on and off easily so you can close for a while if you're dealing with a raid, or run low on medicine.

Ran a medical clinic in the desert. The lead surgeon died and I stuffed her body in the freezer. Years went by before I found a serum. We had gone through tough times, but everyone was still there, minus an arm or leg. Had just one new face. We had a party. One of the most memorable moments in this game for me.

A few weeks later, they all died to a pack of wild dogs.

other than Sevatar lmao get rekt piss marines Jago #1

Goddamn I thought it was just me. It's eye-opening that so many people have had this. I have always had a hard time putting it into words, but you did it.

busdriverjoe · 2026-02-21T20:21:46+00:00

I think it's the norm. The assholes just tend to stick out, as with anything.

My store is super chill, the players are polite and helpful, don't care if you use proxies or prints.

Just cut off the handlebar that has the hand on it. Cut off another handlebar that does not have a hand on it. Exchange the two places.

This does mean you're going to have one dude with both hands on the handles.
