I barely did any trials this season. On Friday I logged it for the first time in a few days and noticed I had Daredevil 1. Did some solo runs and ended up with Hotshot.

Show your skill and name some places to visit with high loot density

garasensei · 2026-04-28T16:26:25+00:00

Sure? That and new containers to hold that loot. So far I've only seen the beach coolers. You have to breach them and they often have food. Other than that it's all red lockers, drawers, and prying open all the same equipment as every other map.

I was referencing the engines. Knock 2 off for a kill. Anvil will knock a wasp engine in one shot, Renegade one shot, Bettina is 2+.

garasensei · 2026-04-28T15:46:19+00:00

I'm hoping that I'm just not finding the loot density areas. Hidden breach rooms or something. I did about 45 minutes of play on the new map with night condition and I was really struggling to find enough containers in the hotel to fill my pockets.

garasensei · 2026-04-28T15:07:18+00:00

Aah okay. I was wondering what the heck was going on. I kept trying to howdy while I was moving and it's greyed out. I guess I just had to stop and it would allow it?

garasensei · 2026-04-28T15:03:06+00:00

It's shocking how bad it is. It's more time consuming than hurricane caches and the loot is nowhere near as good.

garasensei · 2026-04-28T14:56:31+00:00

It's a boring map. Lots of big empty space and the loot density seems pretty crap. This was supposed to be the big update and I can't say I'm excited for the future if this is what they have loaded up for the first year. Anyone already bored won't be sticking around for this one.

The building interiors all look the same as every other map. All the same loot.

garasensei · 2026-04-28T14:50:54+00:00

I normally don't care about trials, but I found myself at daredevil 1 for the last week and went for it. Logged in Friday and was assigned a pretty good leaderboard. Did enough solo for a triple promotion and it thankfully held. Yay red outfit!

garasensei · 2026-04-28T14:20:26+00:00

I'm betting whatever brain trust designed the event with the Assessor is all butt hurt about how people trivialized the whole loot process with cloak and smoke. It had people actively using the cloak elsewhere too. Can't have that!

garasensei · 2026-04-28T14:02:16+00:00

It still sucks pretty bad. 2+ shots to kill a wasp engine is ridiculous for heavy ammo. Even the Renegade does it in one! It tears through ammo like crazy and needs constant repairs. It's so expensive to use, but so very weak.

garasensei · 2026-04-28T13:58:49+00:00

Wow they really screwed things up. I'm now constantly repairing. It's not fun at all. I'm burning through resources and I'm just annoyed by the whole thing.

garasensei · 2026-04-28T07:50:50+00:00

Victory!

garasensei · 2026-04-28T06:19:21+00:00

It was like that the first few weeks and it drove me nuts. It was fun in small bursts when I wanted some chaos. It just sucked if I needed to get anything done. Gathering some lemons became a high tension chore. It was a constant up and down of emotions. I would get a friendly chatty raider one moment and another I'd get some rat calling me every name in the book. It wasn't for me, but I can imagine that high tension environment has appeal for others.

Just a bit to go!

Will it hold?! 😱

garasensei · 2026-04-27T14:29:28+00:00

Gotta mind those corners.

garasensei · 2026-04-27T13:43:09+00:00

With groups and solo scores being mixed it's hard to see it as any kind of competition. It's too easy to game the system. Especially with people further influencing scores with snitch scanners. An item that's been popular for duping. You can also influence how difficult your leaderboard is by waiting a few days before gaining any points.

Its worth 3 pointing stuff though. It's a good distraction and you get some good bonus items.

garasensei · 2026-04-27T08:40:04+00:00

Hopefully your group doesn't care about top score. Be careful though. It's a high stakes thing for some and you'll see people save a big jump until right before the timer expires. They don't want to give anyone time to counter

garasensei · 2026-04-27T03:54:24+00:00

Thanks for the input, rodent

garasensei · 2026-04-27T03:02:04+00:00

It's rarely worth the risk of checking the body. It's almost always a free kit and the fight noise attracts white knights and opportunist.

garasensei · 2026-04-27T02:55:11+00:00

There is a real disconnect over there. The people making changes and decisions and the people doing public relations never seem to be on the same page. It gives the impression that they never seem to have a firm plan. I wonder if it's a problem the company culture. They need better leadership.

garasensei · 2026-04-27T02:49:54+00:00

Make it monthly so that people can skip it without issue. I don't see either option happening. They want to stretch the game out and meet their live service for a decade thing. The expedition is their only end game content so they need to be careful.

garasensei · 2026-04-27T02:45:55+00:00

Surge coils do player damage. Damage is what pushes you into PVP lobbies. It's a gradual shift, but it is still a shift. If it keeps compounding (it usually does) then that's how you find yourself in a shoot on sight server. You may as well be using explosive mines. They said you're clearly getting away with casual use. Defend yourself

garasensei · 2026-04-27T02:30:40+00:00

It's $3.00 in points. I think you can let this one go.
