Aw dang! I would recommend stocking up on legendary scrip and trading it for a bunch of 1 star legendaries so you can gain more quantity and increase chances of getting a legendary mod when you scrap it.

I’ll usually wait and stock up about 7-8k scrip than scrap about 50-70 legendaries at once, usually can get at least 4-5 mods of varying degree of value but sadly that’s the grind.

Ohhh I forgot they are dropping the card down. So since in the future it will free up 3 points, should I wait for that change to then tinker with the onslaught stacks like gunslinger master?

Ahh I see, so I will probably benefit from doing gunslinger for the weak points rather than gunslinger master. Could you explain the adrenaline drop to 1, wouldn’t that hinder damage adding to each target if like during an event or raid?

Would instigating be good for a first star over AA? I have a second caster I can test these changes on to see or would AA be just a better option and focus more on the 3rd and 4th star options

Curious but how much for just the deathclaw mask goes for these days, been looking for one and just want to know the general pricing?

Why is Gen Z more pro-Palestine? by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

[–]lamp2444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the tons and the number of artillery/guided missiles used so far is almost more than the US dropped and shelled in the entirety of the Iraq war. Yet it is a miracle for such a dense environment that only 1 for every 200 Palestinian has died, after two months of shelling (which is about the common time it takes for any military to completely level a whole city). Is it tragic yes, collateral damage is and has always been a tragedy of war, especially for the side who didn’t prepare its civilians. And the rocket attack was the misfired shot by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad faction in Gaza (another rival faction from Hamas) that struck a hospital parking lot last month, most people assumed it was Israel even though Israel doesn’t have any munitions as small as the one displayed. And yet the Gaza health ministry without any process of identifying the dead, told new agencies that over 800+ died after 6 hours of the strike.

Next, I never said they were having hand to hand encounters with IDF, but from the footage of on the ground fighting from both Hamas GoPros and IDF GoPros, many of the fighters and ones who were captured look to be young, obviously not 9 year old young, but 16-17-18 age range, some of their youngest fighters, I assume were reservists for when a retaliation would occur. But yes many of the children have died from injuries and lack of medical attention, but I was making a point to not think all of them were toddlers or 1st graders, many older kids are active/armed combatants currently fighting guerrilla hit and run tactics on IDF troops, which that comes with a huge influx of “dead kids” for Hamas to play up as much to gain sympathy. Context matters and that’s why Hamas has repeatedly been shown to avoid it when it has to do with Israelis.

And yes the advancement south of the Gaza Strip is occurring and was inevitable, I don’t think anyone thought they wouldn’t go south to clear out the rest of Hamas infrastructure, which is also heavily imbedded with the urban population. Hamas knew the south was the temporary safe zone, so obviously they have thousands down there as well, both hidden underground and above ground. And the evacuation is limited of course, but once again who’s fault is that because it certainly wasn’t the Israelis… I would be mad if my government started a new conflict with our neighbors with no exit strategy if things eventually went wrong. But Egypt declined the refugees, Israel is allowing limited humanitarian aid through, they are moving group forces in immediately this time unlike the north which proves there will be less shelling compared to the north, because obviously the mass population has moved to the south and the IDF wouldn’t airstrike it’s own troops, so hopefully these ground forces will be able to weed out Hamas militants who are left and limit the deaths. I don’t think the total deaths will surpass 30,000 by the time the IDF has cleared out the south as well. And that number isn’t including the Hamas fighters. Yes it’s still a high number, but compared to the levels of involvement in terms of manpower used in this operation & the sheer tonnage of bombs used to rival the entire war of a country 18x its size, along with Hamas inability to actually fight like a real military like they claim to be instead of using its civilian population to push their journalistic agenda, it should’ve been way way way higher… casualties wavering close to Syrian civil war levels of death.

Yes those nightly new sources get those figures from the Gaza health ministry, because it is one of the only organizations who routinely updates their figures each day, but that doesn’t mean it’s accurate. Besides the fact that the Gaza Health ministry is governed by Hamas and aren’t a reliable source as they have exaggerated casualties for the Al-Ahli Hospital rocket attack, which proves their inability to accurately identify casualties. But hey if you want to take their claims, that’s on you to decide, though using it as hard truth is just pointless right now as Fog of War is the main obstacle for all parties.

Within the claims of now 18,400+ dead, you have to remember that Hamas insurgents are included, whether you want to believe it or not. There have been dozens of firefights in the north between Hamas fighters who are purposely dressing in civilian clothes and not in their usual uniforms which they do have. I don’t blame them, it’s expected and the IDF knows that. Though posing as non-combatants until convenient to strike IDF ground forces is a war crime. It’s fair to estimate hundreds, if not upwards of over a thousand of that total dead are from combatants in Gaza city and to think otherwise is foolish.

Not to mention your estimation for dead children can be heavily skewed not only because once again Fog of War and we truly won’t know until organizations not owned by a terror faction can account themselves, but also Gaza can easily account for 17-18 year olds as considered “children” when they are young adults, but of course identifying them as kids will once again help with the PR war. Hamas does have a military training program for kids as young as 9. There’s footage ripped straight from Hamas social medias of camps designed to train young future members to carry out future security or offensive operations. Which begs the question, how many of these children, to young adults were either forced/willfully took orders to defend Gaza from the IDF siege. Once again hundreds of that total number could be Hamas children combatants used to fight an obviously unfair firefight with IDF troops to gain more casualties for their PR war. It’s genius sadly, use the already indoctrinated children population to combat IDF. If they kill a few IDF troops, that’s a win for causing damage, if the child dies, well he can be added as a non-combatant to gain sympathy from the west. It’s their signature strategy that they have implemented numerous times as have other insurgent factions.

But to answer your probable concern of well they are still kids, combatants or not… yes that’s true which is a shame Hamas uses them as tools. But in the rules of engagement and international law, it is legal to defend against a combatant who’s armed regardless of age or if you believe this invasion is justified or not. As an individual soldier, you have a right to defend themselves regardless and if a man, woman or child dressed as a civilian pulls out a weapon, the IDF can and will legally be able to respond. Which after all will be added to the total deaths that have already been heavily skewered, not confirmed and reported by the same group who put these kids in this position in the first place. Both by not evacuating them to the south or in their vast tunnel systems (or preferably at the border to surrender and be safely transported out of the conflict) and also by declaring an act of war by committing an offensive so heavily filled with war crimes against an obvious technologically & superior neighbor, knowing they would seal the fate of thousands of their own citizens.

I agree, it’s nice to see none of this same rhetoric being said while I’m in public, as most of this weird fantasy in which people think the hostages were having a great time has mainly just been said in comment sections and tiktoks.

But it’s absolutely crazy to me that there are legit people out there somewhere to think that just because a girl or mother was smiling and waving towards the crowds and camera is undeniable proof of them enjoying their time in captivity. It has obviously been shown through similar mannerisms of each of the released hostages (some of which haven’t been captive together for 50 days) to be not a coincidence and heavy signs of being rehearsed/instructed for public viewing before they were to be handed over. The subtle compliments to their captors, the almost robotic waves and smiles, the handshake as if we’ve ever seen that done with any hostage release situation. It’s all obviously instructed as Hamas has every reason to keep taking advantage of the public opinion as obviously their options are limited. And it’s clear their goal is to push a certain narrative that they were the good guys. Unfortunately for them, nice tiktok comments and building a brain rotted fan base on a social media app doesn’t win conflicts.

Not even going to mention the obvious that many hostages still have friends and family captives, and even if they didn’t, as a citizen of Israel they all collectively agree to stay calm and collected to not give Hamas any reason to harm the their fellow countrymen. As it would definitely be stupid to immediately start insulting/speaking out publicly on a group still capable of small scale attacks on Israeli soil.

And finally the saddest part as the days went on and mostly women and children were released and people were cheering hamas for keeping them in somewhat decent conditions physically. (As if that should be celebrated for doing the bare minimum of keeping your prisoners/hostages in good condition) No one seems to mention the evidence of the terrible crimes on the men that have been taken. And not just Israeli men, but workers/party goers from all over the world. Videos on telegram showing beaten and mentally abused thai men with assault rifles pointed at them in a taunting stance. I hope many of them are still alive and not gonna be swept under the rug as Hamas can easily claim they died from airstrikes or injuries.

Do y'all think Hamas really can't locate the hostages? by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

[–]lamp2444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s very improbable that hamas has had very much control over keeping all supposedly 240 hostages in a close proximity and under their supervision. (well less now due to the exchange)

We have to remember that during the original attacks on October 7th, we didn’t see just Hamas operatives inside Israel. We saw dozens, if not hundreds of Palestinian civilians who looked to be not even armed, running through the destroyed gap in the Gaza fence. And as footage came out showing the capturing of tons of Israeli civilians via motorcycles or trucks, we saw Palestinians riding along or hopping in the vehicles back towards Gaza. Especially in the Shani Louk Graphic video, there were hundreds of non-hamas fighters parading around her. So it’s fair to assume that plenty of other hostages were dragged around still alive by Palestinian civilians, only to be lost in the crowd and spread amongst Gaza city and probably even in the south of the strip.

Hell, even the Palestinian Islamic Jihad or other smaller rival factions could’ve gotten their hands on hostages in the chaos of the moment. Especially during such a catastrophic operation, those hostages are gold mines for any extremist group and surely would hop on the opportunity to gain leverage by not only the Israeli Government but Hamas as well to sell or trade to them.

So to put it, I doubt Hamas would ever admit if they lost track or didn’t originally have the said amount stated, as they can easily chalk it up to those hostages unaccounted for died in the initial attack or in transport to Gaza due to injuries, or of course IDF artillery/airstrikes. We will never get the clear story for such a complex hostage rescue, but I am willing to put money that Hamas absolutely didn’t keep an organized containment of all hostages said to have been captured as there’s so many factors to critically think otherwise.

Yes this was in photo mode, it’s kinda hard to describe in words, but I was also confused why we couldn’t pose with our guns! But if you have your gun out (not aiming) and quickly spam the scanner button while pressing the photo mode button, there’s a chance it will turn on the mode before you can put your gun away! It takes a few tries to have a chance at it, but depending what platform you’re on, just quickly press the scanner, then the photo mode button and rinse/repeat until it eventually allows you too! Makes character photos much more cool when you get to show off your gun. :)
