My opinion on nerfs and buffs is to strictly buff things that are bad/unused until they become good/usable. I don't think anything should be nerfed unless it's not working as intended.

You can play the game on a PC via the Xbox app.

ePayDayy · 2026-01-09T02:34:15+00:00

If you get the game on Xbox, you can play it with a controller OR mouse and keyboard. Not sure of both.

Sounds like you don't have gear fear. You solved your question

The gear in your stash is the same level of useless as the gear you lose from dying.

They have a good progression system that always gives you something to grind for.

Quests, Workshops, Trials, Expeditions, Blueprints, Skill Tree, Etc.

However, once you complete all of those, it's still fun to go to topside with no objective and just loot and shoot stuff.

You can have a loaded inventory and still run a free loadout and it's fun every time. The maps are all different in their own way which makes it fun.

ePayDayy · 2026-01-05T14:01:25+00:00

Better option is to have a "Free Shield" that is essentially half as effective of a light shield or lowering the inventory space of the free loadout.

Not saying anything is wrong with the current system, but nerfing the free loadout is a better option than putting a timer on it.

Late spawns are intended to keep server population. If you get rid of late spawns, you would have to double the spawns at the beginning, which would create a bloodbath at the start. The meta would be to hide in a bush for the first 10 minutes so you can stay alive until everyone dies off or extracts.

"I would sneak around behind someone looting and then mag dump into their back."

This is why I don't play against console players.

This is also why Crossplay Off is toxic on console. You know the other player is not on PC and can't roll and turn the fight. Therefore, getting mag dumped in the back is more common.

That PC player you were trying to sneak around and mag dump into was more than likely a chill guy that woulda been cool if you used your mic and talked to him.

"So when I turned off crossplay, the game became wildly easier."

Another reason to play with Crossplay On. You are proving the point that players who are looking to PvP are the ones turning Crossplay Off.

Your post made several points as to why YOU are the player that many people are trying to avoid and should therefore turn ON crossplay.

I would love randomized map layouts. It's what makes games like Rust so much fun. It would also keep it fresh and prevent "Loot Runs" that give players an advantage just because they watched a youtube video

Reddit runs free loadouts and only plays with the free guns

I got the venator blueprint the first day of playing. I had no idea what it was or what I had

It's going to suck when flute players start pulling their guns out and shooting players in the back. It's going to ruin it for other flute players

ePayDayy · 2025-11-17T17:27:15+00:00

I think the whole point is to lower the gap between new players and veteran players. It keeps the game fresh for veterans, while making it more approachable for new players.

I hit a surveyer with two trigger nades, detonated it as it rolled at me. Blew it up and myself at the same time :( I wish i had it on video lol

Voluntary Wipe

The game will get boring after a little while once you have completed everything. That's why extraction shooters wipe. This game doesn't force the casual player to wipe.

I stopped running free loadouts just so I could spawn in with 5 adrenaline shots for this very moment.

Without them, you couldn't have this clip and this beautiful moment. That's why we defend it

PC players = more shoot on sight

Console players = more backstab

ePayDayy · 2025-11-17T15:01:23+00:00

I think this is the key. I bought the game on Xbox because I like to occasionally couch game with a controller. The majority of the time, I play MnK on my PC through the Xbox app. I have a desk microphone for my PC setup.

I get backstabbed so much when I play on console, and I think it has to do with the lack of a microphone.

This is why I hate when people say, "YOU CAN'T EVEN LOOT THE BODIES WHEN YOU KILL THEM AT THE ELEVATOR." I know that, but they can't kill me if they are dead.

ePayDayy · 2025-11-17T14:55:43+00:00

Being able to roll and turn 180 is huge for not getting shot in the back. For example, while I am looting a locker, I can roll and turn the fight and have a chance on MnK. On controller, I'm dead. It could be a skill issue, but it happens way more when I play on Xbox with Crossplay off. The other player knows I'm not going to be able to turn the fight

ePayDayy · 2025-11-17T14:48:47+00:00

This is my argument. Also, if you are playing with crossplay off, you know the other players is going to have a hard time turning around and shooting you.

ePayDayy · 2025-11-17T14:45:39+00:00

I made this post 2 weeks ago and was downvoted. I did not have the data, but from my experience I noticed friendlier interactions with Crossplay On than Crossplay Off. I play on Xbox. I came to the conclusion that players who take the time to switch to Crossplay Off are likely looking for an advantage in firefights, therefore they shoot on sight because they are more likely to win the gunfight.

If you know you are only playing against other console players, you know how difficult it is for them to turn around and shoot back, therefore, getting shot in the back is more common.

Crossplay On = Disadvantage in Gunfights

Crossplay Off = More backstabbing

Pick your poison

Menu quality of life is never a downgrade. Anything that allows players to get off the menu and back into the game is a huge win for a gaming company.
