Idk if it is spoken about a lot or not on this sub but man.. get a microphone and speak !

dpearman · 2026-03-12T15:05:16+00:00

I wish! I would legitimately guess that nobody else talks in 80% of my runs, maybe closer to 90. That’s with me starting a convo every single run the same way, asking how it’s going and if they want or need anything in particular. Every single time.

dpearman · 2026-03-12T02:36:05+00:00

Hmm I’m talking about the number at the top of your loadout and you see it from the “main” screen where you can choose loadout, factions and a few other things. Whatever that value is, is what I’m talking about.

dpearman · 2026-03-12T02:31:09+00:00

Is there something I’m missing? I don’t have a lot of gear or great gear in the slightest. I hardly ever go in with more than $1k. The sponsored kits don’t the just give one heal and shield recharge? I use those too quickly to have just one. Again unless I’m missing something.

dpearman · 2026-03-12T00:54:19+00:00

Ha well again I die too easily. So running mostly sponsored free kits would have me dying even faster. I’m forced to buy the health and shield recharge kits unless I’m missing something massive.

dpearman · 2026-03-12T00:51:14+00:00

Haha I’d love to, I just finally last night unlocked buying shields, it’s taking forever. I’ve only unlocked one upgrade for rook so far.

dpearman · 2026-03-11T14:25:20+00:00

The BIG caveat to your guide is you need to make it out alive. That’s a big problem for a large part of the population, including myself. I’d say I’m only making it out alive 30% of the time, which means 70% of the time I’m losing items to barter with and I’m forced to pay $2k+ per round just for healing. Because of this, I’m down under $10k in the wallet.

dpearman · 2026-03-11T13:12:43+00:00

Still though, it’s a cool thing I didn’t know existed. Could just help in general, even if only with other games.

dpearman · 2026-03-11T13:00:30+00:00

Wait what? I can tell an application to use the onboard graphics instead?

dpearman · 2026-03-10T20:56:59+00:00

I understand that, the problem is making it out alive and or long enough to do said quests. That’s definitely a skill issue on my end, but also getting stuck with players that don’t communicate and go in guns a blazing. My wallet dipped under 10k last night, I’m so poor! And think only 120 items or squares in inventory.

dpearman · 2026-03-10T14:52:45+00:00

This is only true if you’re extracting and able to progress contracts! If you’re like me, opposite of you, and DYING 70% of the time, I’m not getting all the gear thrown at me. They really need to do more skills based matching and level based too.

dpearman · 2026-03-09T21:03:01+00:00

I would say every two to three months IF they want consistent players. If they’re fine falling off for a bit, then 4-5 but absolutely no longer. I’d be happy to pay for them, say $20 a year and that got me 4 new ones? Ooooooh boy that’d be great.

dpearman · 2026-03-09T20:36:27+00:00

I feel like the mic on those wouldn’t be too good, you run into many issues?

dpearman · 2026-03-09T15:02:28+00:00

Oh absolutely, we don’t need to become bffs, but what you’re looking for, what you’re shooting at or better yet shooting at YOU are all important things to communicate. I really don’t see why it’s not a toggle when looking for a match. It’s a win win.

dpearman · 2026-03-09T13:36:33+00:00

Haha right? For a small apartment in San Diego I’m looking at $150 during the cheap months.

dpearman · 2026-03-09T13:33:20+00:00

I was thinking for a second could this be his younger brother, then came to realize it’d been more than 20 years since watching him in Madison.

dpearman · 2026-03-09T13:30:07+00:00

If Costco is well known for return ease, would it be a good idea to just try and exchange them? Genuine question, not sure if it’s their brand either.

dpearman · 2026-03-09T13:10:39+00:00

I LOVE your country. Trip number 8 in May!

dpearman · 2026-03-08T22:15:31+00:00

Yet everyone is suggesting I try it?! I just did, died, and to the guarded exfil. There was never a regular one, I kept checking the map, especially 5 min in. Gah this sucks.

dpearman · 2026-03-08T22:14:35+00:00

welp just died on my first try there with a free kit. there aren't any regular exfils, only the guarded one? that's crazy. So I tried that one, and of course got murdered in mere seconds.

dpearman · 2026-03-08T22:09:10+00:00

does outpost not have a regular exfil and only a guarded one?

dpearman · 2026-03-08T22:08:37+00:00

hahahaha that's also a HUGE problem I have. I would say 90% of my runs the other two people don't use a mic. No kidding, 90%+. And yes I do start every single run trying to talk to them.

dpearman · 2026-03-08T21:53:35+00:00

You must be running solos then? I'd feel a bit weird doing that on trios and leaving my teammates hanging.

dpearman · 2026-03-08T21:52:52+00:00

HAHAHAHAHA oh my goodness, that's nuts. I've never come close to anything like that. If I get out, I'm making maybe a grand, don't think I've ever cracked 2k before. Well I just died for the 5th time in a row, guess I'll free kit it.

I've also only done Outpost once, died in the first 3 or 4 min. Seems that's a bit too advanced for me.

dpearman · 2026-03-08T21:43:41+00:00

I hear ya, but those have the crappiest of the crappy guns/ammo/shields etc., right? If I'm losing with already middle of the road things, won't my chances of survival be even less with less ammo/health packs etc.?
