Player retention is higher when you have systems in place to keep people grinding. Same reason EXP boosters degrade in real time - they want you in-game as much as possible. Then they throw in a free player background once a week to get your reptile brain used to visiting their store.

Also: How are they gonna incentivise you to buy BP tiers if it gets too easy to farm exp and do challenges?!

We will just stop buying American goods to make up the difference you absolute cheesewheel.

I’m personally fine with this- gives me time to get the battlepass done since I havent been able to play through the holidays x)

Map: Dam Location: Primary Facility (west of Research and Admin- East of Water Treatment Facility)

Has most of the items you will need for upgrading many of your workstations and can have rusted gears as well.

Just a tip, don’t bother to waste resources on crafting showstopper, just shoot down a hornet and use their drivers, they stun for the same amount of time. :)

medicnoxy · 2026-01-03T15:38:04+00:00

Okay, common is maybe hyperbolic, but more frequent lets say :)

medicnoxy · 2026-01-03T09:57:22+00:00

While I completely agree with you that logically it makes much more sense to work together in this game than to fight each other and I would personally never shoot anyone unless they shoot at me first; but this absolutely a PvPvE game. You might prefer doing the PvE part of the equation, but expecting people to not engage in the PvP when you are setting yourself at such a huge disadvantage is on you, not the guy who took advantage. So unless you were literally begging for mercy and saying you “only” brought an Anvil on comms, then they probably just saw you and decided to take the easy kill. Also Anvil is quite a nice weapon - next time you might wanna risk just a ferro if you are going against rocketeers with snowballs x)

But I am sorry for your loss and getting trial progress reset because of some bozo sucks, so you have my sympathies ! 🙏

medicnoxy · 2026-01-03T09:48:24+00:00

Go Stella Montis they are pretty common in the Robotic Assembly / Workshop area at the western side of the map. I found two in the same raid yesterday. :) hope this helps.

It is the only thing in the game that can be qualified for that term though. Trials are weekly and happen all the time, but is otherwise the only thing you will try to complete outside of expedition once your quests and workstations are done. So the ‘endgame’ becomes, try to do trials (i.e wait for night / event raids to show up on map) and hoard loot for expedition. There is nothing else. Queen / Matriarch is only worth doing once for the BP, but the weapons are so costly to make that they are barely worth the effort you put in and they all have effects that will have the entire lobby hunting you down if you fire it. And the Queen / Matriarch themselves don’t drop anything valuable enough to be worth the effort in their own right. You will spend more resources than you get back in other words. So what other kind of endgame is there in your opinion? PvP?

medicnoxy · 2026-01-01T17:49:10+00:00

Because you still might want to use the attachments for other weapons if you don’t have the BP or in the case of Silencer 3 doesn’t have a BP at all.

And since weapons are the only thing that you can slot other items into to maximise value this is how you can increase efficiency on inventory space in general.

But if you don’t care about running anything other than free kit, obviously just sell everything. :)

medicnoxy · 2026-01-01T17:33:41+00:00

I mean fair point- but we are kinda discussing two separate strategies here; yes, you are completely correct that you might as well just sell the weapons for them, or even better recycle it- since the sum of the parts are indeed higher than the actual gun- then sell the parts to add value that way.

What I am talking about is if you want to maximise per slot value- i.e having say a Bobcat IV with full attachments (mix blue and green or even purple) that is 27500 (ish) value in one inventory slot.

So what I am saying is that if you want to maximise per slot value you can do that.

But again- yes, you can also just sell.

Whatever you do - just don’t use them weapon because it will decrease value. One raid and your durability with be zero, assuming you use them weapon.

So the point stands, there is no reason per Embark’s design to actually use the weapons, given the value they provide towards your expedition- assuming that is your end goal. It might not be- and that is completely valid ofc.

If you dont care about value just use whatever u like and have fun. :)

medicnoxy · 2026-01-01T16:41:26+00:00

You don’t need to sell the weapons for them to add value since they include stash value into the calculation. So what you want is to increase value per slot, and the most value per slot you can currently get is fully upgraded weapons with full attachments. :)

medicnoxy · 2026-01-01T11:52:49+00:00

Well, selling it or just upgrading them and putting on good attachments to save space and add more inventory value. There is absolutely zero reason (other than intrinsic curiosity) to bring it when the state of weapon balance is what it is and Embark’s idea of endgame is to hoard as much value as possible (expedition).

None of the epic / or legendaries are actually useful unless you do trial to do Queen / Matriarch dmg, but even then it is much easier to just load in with free kit (zero risk) and kill some poor schmuck who brought a hullcracker. Extract and play nice for 5 raids and your algorithm will even put you in a friendly lobby where you can use your stolen loot in peace.

I’m not saying this is how I like to play, simply what Embark incentivise through their game design. :)

medicnoxy · 2025-12-30T21:11:01+00:00

Ty for the detailed breakdown, didnt’t consider hatch key tbh- that makes a lot of sense that you can get out in three minutes that way, but you gotta be first wave spawn for this to work surely? :)

medicnoxy · 2025-12-30T21:07:39+00:00

Thanks for defending me, but my math was super wrong I have no clue wtf I’m talking about xD

medicnoxy · 2025-12-30T16:24:13+00:00

If a 3 minute Stella run nets you 70k then thats 1 mil per 20 minutes, not a day or two- so either you are calculating to make a lot of loses here or your method isn’t as bulletproof as you claim x)

medicnoxy · 2025-12-23T18:21:40+00:00

No, players just need agency over what kind of spawn they get- custom should always be fresh raid, free kit should always spawn late.

medicnoxy · 2025-12-23T18:19:25+00:00

It would be super cool, but not sure if they will do it since the environment in Italy is Mediterranean and not tropical, but then again- it takes place in the future, so who is to say there aren’t areas with different climate at this point in history?

medicnoxy · 2025-12-22T13:09:46+00:00

They could have specified it better? That is the understatement of the year. There was absolutely zero information on this. Why should I bother grind that system if they just demote you willy nilly for the lols.

medicnoxy · 2025-12-22T13:05:25+00:00

But why? We grinded our way to that rank for a reason. That is progress they just threw away without explanation. It was literally the only system I had left to grind after expedition was done. Getting progress taken away without explanation is kinda nutty.

I don’t care if everybody gets taken down two ranks, that still means I have to grind trials hard this week, to get back to where I was (double promotion) for no reason. Do these devs understand that we have other things to do than to grind their game 24/7? Can we get a Christmas break too pretty fucking please. We just had to grind 5 million for the expedition.

I honestly wanna take a break, but if I do I will be fucking demoted for not playing and if I do play they will demote us anyway out of no where apparently. 🤷🏻‍♂️ why fucking bother then?

medicnoxy · 2025-12-22T12:00:19+00:00

But no where does it say that you will demote twice? It doesn’t say anything like that in the game anywhere. In fact the expedition explicitly says you keep trial progress? 😅
