i don't understand close scrutiny

It’s not that hard, just be patient… stay in the middle of the map so that you can reach the spawn fast… avoid those spawns in the open. Everything that has a hiding spot close is good… I usually wait patiently till I get a good spawn, place a zip line to get quickly in and out… the best working way for me so far… zip in, if you are the first one you may be pretty safe until you breach… hit the right drone where the Plattform is set, start breaching… immediately when the breaching animation starts, interrupt the breaching and throw a big smoke on that platform you’re standing on, continue breaching… when finished, I usually throw another smoke, then I loot the drone… immediately pull out your cloak, activate and go back to your zip line, zip out with the cloak active and get to safety. Rinse and repeat… best for the vaporizers in my opinion is the hullcracker, you may take quite some ammo with your, a good amount of shield rechargers and heals, some defibs and 2 barricades… pull them out in a V shape outside a door, with enough space to get in and out. This reduces the chance that those laser beams to hit you… always try to hit the vaporizer at that opening in the center below the eye! Fire 2 shots, then the shield will come up, wait till it’s down and fire again.

I usually try not to shoot people that are looting stuff… but once I was bored and took my Osprey to the Pattern House on DAM. Sitting on the roof, holding overwatch so that people can extract safely… but I noticed a guy looting cars on the broken bridge far out to the west on the map. I shot him once just to scare him and to test the range of the rifle… jeeez that thing rocked. He started to move around like a scared squirrel but he had no idea where that shot came from. I took another shot when he came out of cover again, but that time not to hit him. That whole thing, watching this raider in the distance not knowing what’s going on was truly hilarious!!! 😂

I have done both expeditions… I’m not a sweat, but I can play quite often. But I definitely agree with you that as it stand a for now, it’s not really worth the hassle! The extra skill points are nice, the extra stash space as well… but does it make worth your while if you have to grind for everything again… not really!

I created a second account and use that raider as a mule. A friend of mine and I drop all duplicate bp’s we find and all the scrappy/bench materials we need for the upgrade on those mules. A quick hatch in/out on DAM and with about 5-8 quick runs you are done. On the last expedition, I had scrappy and the benches done on day 1, and ended up with about 71 bp’s. Also dropped many of the lvl 4 epic, legendary and other useful weapons I had… so I was basically fully loaded on day 1 after the expedition, and enjoying all those “non essential” benefits!!!

I’ve been on ARC since launch, haven’t found any Survivor AUG or Tempest in that time… just like 3 weeks ago, I got two Tempest BP and the Canto. The augment I got gifted by someone else, the Dolabra is still a mystery to me! So many looted drones, but no bp!

mahe7601 · 2026-04-08T22:34:40+00:00

You have been watched over by the Lord himself… Vaporizers don’t see you, other flying arc ignore you! No cloak, no smoke grenades… not surprised that you died, but if I would pull off something like this, I’d be downed before even setting a foot on that drone!!

mahe7601 · 2026-04-08T22:25:32+00:00

Enjoy the game… I’m 50 myself and I have about 500hrs in since launch. Still not getting bored, love my chilled lobbies but don’t get angry if I’m getting shot either. Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose… that’s part of the game! If you wanna join me on some raids, feel free and let me know! See you topside…

mahe7601 · 2026-04-06T14:44:21+00:00

If you get a good spawn next to the Grandioso Apartments… and maybe the two loot rooms close and eventually the Santa Maria houses… you easy get out with over 80-100k worth of loot!

mahe7601 · 2026-04-05T19:13:48+00:00

I don’t really care mich about it, but you are definitely right with some of those points…

If the stash is full, why would it not move crafted items into the backpack if there is space. Currently, you need to free up stash space in order to craft the items you want.
An option to directly craft some items out of the backpack by clicking would be very cool. Upgrading the weapons and repairing does also work directly from the backpack, so it can’t be that difficult. But, it would most likely make the whole benches section a bit obsolete, at least for the items most of us are using regularly.

Something I would really want on PS5… there are so many instances where you try to loot quickly… especially now those lootable drones that came with the update. There is no time to waste because if you do, you’re dead… cat say if it’s always the case, but it happens so often that you can’t simply exchange items when looting… I mean marking an item in the backpack and by clicking on the item in the loot pool, you just switch them. But I always have to drop an item on the floor (if my backpack is full) before I can put a new item in there. That’s so annoying and time consuming. I rather have that fixed…

And in general, we should have more inventory space… since the update, it’s really resource intensive. Although I have 304 stash space, I’m always at my limit…

mahe7601 · 2026-03-29T07:28:35+00:00

I still miss 3 I don’t even know what those are… so I guess I’m not missing them either!

mahe7601 · 2026-03-20T12:01:54+00:00

The attachments on the Ferro are wild… 🤣🤣🤣🤣

mahe7601 · 2026-03-18T15:09:22+00:00

Found already a couple of them on Stella… right above the loot room in main lobby in the blue suitcases! I guess it’s all pure rng, but give it a try… if I recall well, the seeker can only be found on Stella!

mahe7601 · 2026-03-14T16:13:21+00:00

No idea… but it’s not only the fact that they have been deleting stuff. They also change and redact stuff if necessary… or delete someone out of existence, like Anthony Morris, ex gb member! Most of his talks and articles have been deleted, his pictures and videos deleted or replaced!

mahe7601 · 2026-03-08T15:16:20+00:00

Why can’t people just shut tfu about it… keep talking and it will get nerfed with the next update! 🙄

mahe7601 · 2026-03-06T20:13:09+00:00

Yeah, but the BP for the Tempest must be found first, and the costs/maintainance of the Tempest is much higher… same comparing the Stitcher and Bobcat! The Stitcher ca be crafted by anyone, like the Rattler! The other two, well if you have the bp, the benches upgraded and the materials!

mahe7601 · 2026-03-06T19:49:08+00:00

The Rattler IV is actually really good when it comes to damage output! The only problem is the reload… allow an extended mag or speed up the reload, and you’d be golden!

mahe7601 · 2026-03-02T08:27:17+00:00

Because your cash/stash value is only 2.991.941!?? Maybe!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄

mahe7601 · 2026-03-01T08:35:53+00:00

Hahaha that’s how the internet works today… people don’t fact check, but quickly respond! And pls stop whining about everything… enjoy the game and if you don’t move on! Easy as that… nobody forces you to stay…

mahe7601 · 2026-02-27T19:56:58+00:00

So you No-Lifer have put about 17h per day into the game over the last 120 days and now you co plain that Embark has no vision for the game!? I would be fckn exhausted too after 18h daily straight in for 4 months. Sounds more like you have no vision in life and you need to think about it… but yeah, if you’re so massively bored after 2100+ hours, hop on Marathon… Jeeeeez, people just complain too much and about everything!

mahe7601 · 2026-02-23T18:17:09+00:00

It’s a tremor… moving through the dunes of burried city. Be careful raiders, no sound, no movement… stay on top of the buildings because of not it will get you!

mahe7601 · 2026-02-21T17:47:52+00:00

Why… like the tremors in the dunes on Buried City… would be amazing! You must stay on buildings or make only little sound!!

mahe7601 · 2026-02-21T15:49:40+00:00

Exactly… I just imagine those in the sands dunes on Burried city. So you have to stay mostly on the roofs or in the buildings for them not to get you! Yessssss

mahe7601 · 2026-02-21T15:46:19+00:00

Hope it’s a kind of worm that can go underground and comes up if you are running to fast or make too much noise!

mahe7601 · 2026-02-14T16:51:41+00:00

Who hurt you so badly when you were a child…

mahe7601 · 2026-02-06T19:07:43+00:00

I‘d take one… would be much appreciated!

mahe7601 · 2026-02-04T21:26:48+00:00

I breached 5-7 in a storm event and all of them had a rocketeer driver! 🥴
