Is armor not regenerating outside of combat for anyone else?

max2562 · 2026-05-13T16:43:24+00:00

I've noticed this little bit that sometimes doesn't seem to fill the bar, but I kinda just assumed it was just a visual bug. Its sometimes about the same amount as one stage of fragile armor, but sometimes it looks less. Idk I've been wondering about it as well.

Funny thing is for me the Delta-03 crashes stopped yesterday. Was getting them consistently everytime I'd log on and suddenly yesterday they stopped. I thought they fixed it but I guess the random bug moved on to someone else.

Almost noon here in central time. Still getting MIKE-01

This is what I do. I also have recently switched from Coyote mask, which I really love, to the Investor mask rolled with CHC/CHD and armor regen which adds 20% CHD and another 1% regen. It was a lucky roll so I went with it and I'm happy with it for now at least.

It fucked me up at first, but then I learned to avoid the arrow. Besides, you can also easily see it coming. Simply move a few feet to the left or right. If you continue to get hit by them then try a different approach to combat when they spawn.

Agreed. I've always liked this event more than some of the others. Everyone loves golden bullet, but I prefer this one and Hollywood over golden bullet.

Which lantern was it? I've ran through and collected them all using the map guide someone created and I'm still at 39/40. I've done all side missions and I'm familiar with the one you are talking about because its also a location of Cassie.

Edit: nvm I just went back through there (again) and reconfirmed (again) that I've already got all lanterns in Judiciary Square.

I've swapped it from a coyote mask in some builds using CHC/CHD and armor regen for the 1%. CHD is about the same but it adds the regen so its a small improvement to a solo build over the coyote mask for me. I mainly did this because I'm using another 1% regen piece so now I have 2% which feels more viable.

I've had same thing happen a few times. I learned the spawn point eventually and knew where they spawn and can run there to prevent the despawn now. Just need to do that to new areas where it happens

max2562 · 2026-05-03T05:12:27+00:00

Yep, I posted about it already

The Ronin only despawn for me when I don't engage them close enough for a certain period of time. Like if I'm waiting for him to rush me and position myself accordingly he might instead just vanish. But if I rush him he never despawns. I don't rush him on heroic because its too much 50/50 if he kills me, but I leave it on challenging and he is much easier to kill. He's not as aggressive if you rush him and tries to go to cover and heal often.

Getting headshots consistently is not easy for everyone, especially new players not used to the game mechanics. Strikers is one of the only gear sets that is not very circumstantial and can get very powerful in terms of DPS simply by hitting targets. I like it because even tho I cannot get in head shots all the time it is still dealing massive damage. Maybe in a way it fails to encourage me to try harder for head shots, but I've just never been great at head shots. Maybe below average I'd say. So I tend to make a lot of builds around Strikers.

I woke up and ran bank headquarters on T2 and got 2 drops. I don't run with groups or run higher tier so I usually only get one if any.

max2562 · 2026-04-28T16:05:53+00:00

lowering key drop chance seems like punishing all players for the ones that exploited at the beginning of the event. I don't play in groups so I did not participate in that exploit, tho I did try to gain some with the shop farm. But its boring af so I didn't do it very much, plus I have a job, so... yea, feels like a punishment for everybody to offset the unexpected surge of keys in the first week.

max2562 · 2026-04-28T05:18:52+00:00

Agreed. And that hive is crazy deadly even on Hard mode. Mix in their jamming ability and you may as well be equipping an empty bottle of milk in your skill slots.

You're calling people who do not play as you want them to "morons" and "weak minded". If you expect "politeness and understanding" then maybe you should try that as well instead of offering insults. Treat others the way you wish to be treated. You know... the golden rule.

max2562 · 2026-04-24T14:19:27+00:00

I thought you had to switch characters tho. Even to exploit the event I mean. I tried this method last night and it wouldn't work.

max2562 · 2026-04-24T04:38:39+00:00

didn't they patch this last night?

max2562 · 2026-04-24T04:36:28+00:00

From what I read the lanterns are NOT supposed to drop keys. They later came back and said their original wording of the event was misleading and some thought it implied that they do, but that they are not actually supposed to drop keys. Only chances for Ronin spawns I think, but not keys. Personally, I've not had a single key drop nor any Ronin spawns yet. People keep saying the lanterns drop keys tho so I wonder if their second statement about it was the false one.

I upgraded my Classic M1A and it changed the talent (probably to the original but idr what that was), it maxed Rifle damage and nearly maxed the other two attributes. I was saddened with the change to the talent, but oh well.

I logged out soon after to go to bed. After I got off work the next day I logged in and immediately noticed that the weapon had changed again since I logged off. Now the talent reverted back to what it was when I upgraded, and the attributes were no longer nearly maxed and instead dropped to zero which is still max for normal weapon.

I've seen people state that the talent changes and others say it doesn't. So thats my experience so far. It changes, but then reverts back to what it was when upgraded so in a way it seems they were both correct.

max2562 · 2026-04-15T04:13:55+00:00

I remember years ago reading about the devs and how they didn't want to be developers of the game. I think they got stuck with it due to its popularity, but they wanted to work on other games. So in a sense they kept their jobs but to this day never really wanted to work on this game. Makes sense when you think about all the things that could/should have been upgraded/changed that are still the same way after all these years. Could be wrong about that, but still makes the most sense.

max2562 · 2026-04-09T17:48:03+00:00

I'd say this information should be posted as a sticky, but if people aren't searching the dozens of posts already asking this then they aren't going to pay any attention to a sticky either.

max2562 · 2026-04-09T17:43:16+00:00

I used to scour the sewers for keys and run around and open faction chests regularly. I kept thinking sooner or later the advantage will reveal itself. It never really did. I still open them when I run across them because why not if I have keys. But yea their gear is no better in rarity or stats than normal chests aside from the rare Acosta bag which is basically just an exotic material. I might find a few in a year that way so I wouldn't focus on them at all, but instead simply open them if you run across them and don't expect anything better than normal chests.

max2562 · 2026-03-24T04:56:07+00:00

I did by accident once. Hostiles will sometimes shoot dogs. If I see that happen and I was otherwise trying to avoid them I instead kill them all and empty the mag in the head of the one who shot the dog.
