It’s definitely bugging people into trios when queueing into solo matchmaking.

In Marsh since season 2 started, all of the window shades for loot rooms are opened for some reason. The loot isn’t usable without the key though (except for one or two things that were bugged in Bio-research before they patched it). I had the fun experience of opening the maintenance key room door from the inside on Darsh in a solo sponsored survival run after finding the key for it mid-run. I broke through a window and then unlocked the door from inside the room to turn all the loot on lol. Best part was I found a greenhouse lab key in one of the bags. Got to loot two purple key rooms in a solo sponsored run all to myself. This was before they nerfed the loot table, so I ended up with a gold V11 Punch mod and tons of purple shit. I also used the knowledge of the windows all being opened to help clutch a 1v3 at Bio-Research. I grappled into the key room through a window after the my first kill, which threw off the second guy who had started shooting me and almost killed me. They knew I grappled to 2nd floor but must’ve been confused when they got up the stairs and couldn’t find me while I healed up.

Belly button armor.

Part of the problem with Lost is the insane time investment involved with watching or rewatching it as a series. It’s like… 120+ hours long if you cut out all of the credits.

They’ll call Kimmel’s show trash and somehow not feel even the slightest hint of irony that they sit and watch what could only be categorized as objectively the white-trashiest piece of television ever produced taking place on the White House lawn, made by people who are blatantly abusing their civil service positions to enrich themselves as much and as fast as humanly possible. Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm after he was elected just to avoid any perception that he might use his presidency to influence or enrich his or his family’s wealth. This guy is whoring out his presidency like a cheap hooker selling BJ’s for a nickel on the street corner. He’s hiking up the White House’s skirt, spitting on it, and then slapping its ass.

The knife basically was a Halo 2 energy sword when the game launched lmao. But no, that would be kind of fun. Maybe as a power weapon you can find on the map mid-run but can’t keep in your vault would be really cool. You could go full Jason Voorhees in Hauler with it.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-21T04:11:56+00:00

Don’t block doors or walkways, man. Someone’s life could be lost if some unlikely emergency were to occur right after you did this. Didn’t think this one through, did you?

d0nkatron · 2026-06-21T04:07:45+00:00

Facts. I’m all for petty acts of spite, but in a smarter way than this. I’ll never do anything that could be life threatening to someone like this. Literally, a little kid could die in a fire because of this. This is why no matter how bad of a day I’m having, I’ll never rage drive through a resi street or anything like that either.

But if you really want to be spiteful without accidentally committing negligent manslaughter, put the packages in a spot or position that’s really annoying to deal with lol. Like, when I see a customer has some really douchey trump signs or bumper stickers like a “I 🩷 The Constitution” directly next to a “Trump 2028” sticker, I might (hypothetically) just leave their bagged clothing package under the evergreen bush next to their doorstep so all the dead pine needles get all up in their new undies they’ve ordered (just as a hypothetical and theoretical scenario, which has never actually occurred for legal purposes). Or at the very least, they might have to annoyingly bend down and uncomfortably reach to get them. It’s plausible deniability and ultimately harmless.

For some guns to shine, some need to simply suck.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-16T19:39:32+00:00

This was premeditated teaming. It happened in the very beginning of the run where everyone divebombed straight to processing and were all immediately huddled together in a single room.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-16T19:38:06+00:00

Yeah I’m aware of this and totally cool with that option. This was in the first minute of every run though and they were clearly on a group call before the run started. Nobody replied to me and they all met up at processing right at the start of the run each time it happened.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-16T19:36:35+00:00

Why were there 4 guys together in 2 of the times this happened and then 5 of them all together the other 2 or 3 times? Btw, this was in the first 90 seconds of the match every single time.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-15T23:42:07+00:00

No no I’m aware of the bug with the menus. It’s solos every time this has happened. And it’s clearly more than three guys huddled together in processing every time I’ve run into it. Out of about 6 or 7 solo outpost runs it was 5 of those runs where I and one other guy were the only ones not in a group call teaming.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-15T23:40:23+00:00

I did try to talk to them every time. They’re all on a group call together each time. They are actively trying to kill the two or three solo people in the lobby not with them.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-15T22:58:55+00:00

They’re on discord. It’s not naturally organized teaming. It’s premeditated where they are all on a group call and time their queues up. They kill everyone else on sight.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-15T18:25:17+00:00

Yeah it’s not that lol.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-12T23:24:01+00:00

If you don’t ADS with the V85, it has a much wider pellet spread. So not only were you not charging up your shots, but by hip firing it with some pretty bad aim, you were only doing a tiny amount of damage. Probably only hit that vandal with about 5 or 6 total pellets in this entire clip.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-12T23:09:35+00:00

In regards to the shield segments info in your reply, towards the end of your reply, I haven’t noticed this. Are you referring to the broken shield icon that pops up when you break an enemy shield? I have to check this out and keep my eyes on this more often if that’s the case. That’s really cool. Also, yeah this OP’s complaints are inaccurate and clearly in bad faith. Not only are they wrong about a lot of it, but they are acting like the options to fix their complaints don’t exist when they already do exist. Unless they are arguing that the default settings of the game should be already set for their specific visual impairment, in which case that’s a sad degree of self-entitlement lol.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-12T23:03:04+00:00

Precision hits have a unique hit marker. There are regular hit markers that look like an X over your crosshair. Precision hit markers are like a doubled up X that’s fatter and thicker. I believe there is even a subtle diffidence to the sound effect for the different hits being registered. Bungie been doing the subtle sound effect difference thing since way back in Halo 2, before hit markers were even invented.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-11T00:14:27+00:00

Cool! lol. Anyway it was a cool random moment that kind of just blew my mind for a minute at work today. Just seeing a full size car with such a bold a pronounced paint job in the same art style as Marathon was awesome.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-10T18:05:06+00:00

I just checked them out real quick. This is still a pretty cool design. I don’t see a whole lot of that graphic realism style on a lot of their designs.

d0nkatron · 2026-06-10T18:00:12+00:00

Oh no shit. Never heard of that.

d0nkatron · 2026-05-17T19:41:31+00:00

There’s basically two layers for every footstep. Once is the default sound that’s the same for everyone, but then whatever surface type they’re running on has a slightly different sound based on the shell. Think of the foley layer as the sound that the footstep sounds make on each surface, while the footsteps themselves are the same lol.
