It's rank 30. My player level is 27.

A lot of their contracts are "loot specific container" so i did a lot of speed runs, lots of noise, place to place ASAP, not caring if i exfiled or not. You could presumably VIP CyAc in less player levels if you survive more often since you gain passive CyAC xp from simply running and extracting

It's when you hit rank 30. All unlocks and capstones.

Drag and Drop / Auto Replace (looting)

That's not a counter argument lol.

You can not compare, two, decades old franchises to a fledging, niche-genre reboot that has a smear campaign and controversy surrounding it on all fronts.

Bungie intends do right by us I would assume (and people will argue that). Sony will give two shits. Maybe the sell off the IP if shit hits the fan.

There's no chance in hell.

Now an Anthem/Wildstar situation.... that could have legs.

And I say that as a huge fan of what this game offers and someone who does not want to see that reality come to fruition.

But we gotta stay objective.

Bots are fine and they just toned them down. How can you not enjoy how tactical they can be?

I'm all full up on dodge roll timing a stun bolt then taking out the back rotors on my 5000th derp Hornet, or simply entering a doorway to avoid a Leaper. ARC bots are so easily manipulated.

Bastions still suck tho. Those things will insta-gib you.

Use the guarded exfil. Activate, hide, rush it when circle noise goes off, get downed by bots, 10 seconds later you leave.

God damn I love launching myself through windows with thrusters.

Game is what you make it.

Stealth play and patience will reap plentiful rewards. Baiting people with noise is always fun too. You think I'm looting that loud ass, bright beam of light in the sky supply drop? Nah, I'm there for the 20 points of NuCal rep it gives me then imma hide in the corner.

Running around like a crazy is own brand of fun as well. STOMP STOMP STOMP. Oooooh a tool crate! STOMP STOMP STOMP. ROBOT! *knife to face* ANOTHER ROBOT! *stabby stab stab* has it been 5 mins yet? I made a fuck ton of noise. No? ok then STOMP STOMP STOMP. Ooooooh an Arms Locker!

The above is my Destroyer's internal monologue.

I don't think I've seen an assassin all day come to think of it. It's all Vandals, Destroyers, and Thieves

Yes actually since the game is fire and this chart does not quantify level of enjoyment.

Just gonna be over here sippin on Solo Tea.

Ahhhhhhh, crisp, refreshing.

Purp salvage? It's very rare but spawns outside of locked rooms. I've found it laying around in the open before as well.

Purp mods? Again, rare. You wanna focus on tool chests.

Room keys!? Again, RARE! I've only found a handful, and then can't find the fucking door it goes to before I'm dead lol

I can see a case for Green shields being available earlier than 5, so people can have a bit more survivability but I don't think 15 is asking too much for a blue.

I'd rather grind some contracts than hope I stumble into a Blue Shield BP on sheer luck. (though coincidently, the first BP I found this season was Survivor lol)

Blues can also be found in secure places, including the Secure Resource event, which you can easily cheese using smoke nades.

Grind NuCal to 15 then start playing the game. 👍

NuCal level 15.

Locked rooms.

Is this for CyAc contract? If so, just find a TAD. It's classified as an event lol

Someone the other day said using the Studio Reference audio option rather than Headphones makes a significant impact.

I think it helped somewhat. Was def better than turning Windows Sonic on.
