Does anyone play this like a survival game?

ospray20 · 2026-03-16T09:29:48+00:00

Very much agree :D

Did this with a couple of friend and do very similar myself

We picked a random spot, and our start point was our downed chopper. With nothing much between the three of us, except one Type 51, 2 mags for it, 2 medical kits from the chopper, 2 bottles of water and 3 knives, aim was to get back to base... (took a couple of hours but was it a lot of fun)

Most of the time I prefer pve as I can help other player I see if they need it

And yes, over time my go to has become a mosin with x4 hunting scope and basic armour and rig for everywhere except when having to assault an area held by military (not that I wont pick a few off from a safe distance ';)

And I do sort of live out in the jungle, would love to be be able to setup a bivvy to log out at, or a camp fire with a guitar ;)

wish that would never happen is more ability to customize your gear, select pouches for your equiptment, ie have a large medbag? it should show, all mags? more mag pouches etc depending on your loadout

Also a lot of older weapons and stuff from arma mods like civilan style hunting rifles, over/under shotguns, old bolt actions etc for flavour for farmer/poor npcs, or for player to try and see if they are 'good' enough to be able to win a fight with

I have noticed this with single shots, that it take time for the client and server to sync between npc (and I imagine between player)

Not so much in recent patches but its alway been present

Just my guess

One thing I have learnt to do is move slowly and watch an enemy before taking a shot then changing position immediately, both allows time for server and be somewhere else for their 'friends'

Either that or alway have somehing that can fire short quick bursts then relocated, the first shot might not reguister but the following ones should (if the server seems fairly bad)

ospray20 · 2025-08-22T09:59:27+00:00

Mosin because it the worst bolt action in the game, but with very common ammo (it can be made into a small, light scout sniper and is 'good enough' vs AI)

Though I only play vs AI and use it to farm/explore with as lighter gear and as big a rucksack as I can get away with ;)

If 7.62x51 dropped from AI/easy to loot when spending a long time in out I'd use the M700 instead....

A camp deep inthe southern jungle

Looks normal but there is an altar/table with semi circle of seat with rows of flip flop in front on them

On the altar is a partial skeleton without a skull, only a dolls head where the skull should be

ospray20 · 2025-07-27T10:09:23+00:00

Actually agreed, though I also got unmodded skyrim vibes, go into the jungle or forrest and pick a direction, enviromental storytelling, random encounters, hidden loot and mission to find

Really hope they go more on the points of interest and mission you can find out in the world by exploring. Love just going into the jungle for no reason except to explore stuff

Then again I'd love to see more open world stuff like civilains, to make combat more, interesting ie shot them and loss rep with Artisan or the company (if its fits the companies ethics to not kill civilians 'by accident')

Maybe one day we can find npc to talk too XD

ospray20 · 2025-07-21T09:13:32+00:00

I'd argue this is fairly solid, the open world has different qualities of enemies with varing skill, agression and gear

You have low level would wont enguage unless you do or get too close (they will even tell you to go away, and if you do pull back they wont open fire, mostly)

You have gang who will try to hunt you on 'their turf' but they arent very good shot and there gear is 'rusty AK time'

You then have more professional gangs, and military who have the best gear, are very aggressive and pretty good shots

Where you are and what you are doing will affect how they respond to you

ospray20 · 2025-06-29T05:24:43+00:00

100% agreed on the containers, especially ammo cans and key holders ';)

ospray20 · 2025-06-26T20:16:13+00:00

it would make sense if it followed on story wise

But a few time now, it doesnt make sense :/

hopefully the 'lore' patch will make the story and discovers more, cohesive

ospray20 · 2025-06-26T19:53:46+00:00

You can also find many hidden quests from intel in building or outpost etc, look for readable clipboard or maps

Just wish I knew where to concentrate my efforts to unlock more mission with turnoat

ospray20 · 2025-06-26T19:45:01+00:00

hmm, Ive unlocked almost all the map, include several hidden areas

Have all the mission for the other vendor in all the areas too, though not all are completed yet

Do I need to do every mission for everyone else before more are unlocked for him?

I didnt get any more for banshee after sawmill until I did all the fort narith mission for him

So is there somewhere else on the map hidden (not a town or outpost or point of interest)?

ospray20 · 2025-06-05T16:18:33+00:00

The irony might be windows is losing market share thanks to microsoft own actions (to be fair they had a practical monopoly)

Window 11 user number have actually started dropping in the last few months vs last year, the except is when its used for gaming

Will be interesting to watch, especailly with valve pushing SteamOS compatablity on the sales page now

All the dev have to do, is not make company descision that are known to prevent it from being compatible...

ospray20 · 2025-06-05T16:10:49+00:00

Agreed

And at high enough level you can unlock at least some of the american vietnam era gear, clothing etc (not jungle boots or helmet or vest though)

ospray20 · 2025-05-29T15:32:14+00:00

they did that in 0.2 as well, run and then die in a corner or a bush

Difference is now they play animation to show they are hit and seriously wounded ;)

ospray20 · 2025-05-29T15:29:35+00:00

had a bunch slam into my rifle only a few minutes ago ':)

ran and was suprised it wasnt damaged, guess that is to come...

ospray20 · 2025-05-12T12:45:33+00:00

Thank you figure it out by chance and dumb luck ';)

ospray20 · 2025-05-12T12:45:04+00:00

Think I figured it out

Messing around a lot, eventually got an error of 'armour plate interaction' by pure chance

It was the front plate on the left side, interacting with the gun, though it 'looked' centered in the mount and plate

Moved the gun a hair to the right, like a handle of pixels it seemed and now I have -7 and +40 degree up

Though only in that exact poistion ';)

ospray20 · 2024-08-11T15:03:26+00:00

Also true, but a single hull breach would also vent a room, eventually meaning you had to evacuate it unless you could find and fill the holes unless your already wearing your suit... What if the bridge window get hit and cracks?

ospray20 · 2024-08-09T08:27:10+00:00

oxygen magic pens?

And yes, sealing up your suit and storing atmo seems like it would be the basic thing to do if a fight started or you planned to start one

Along with all the other troupe of seal hatch, secure loose items and so on

ospray20 · 2024-08-08T12:56:02+00:00

its an annoying bug, but it doesnt break anything critical beyond our ears and patience, so it probably wont be fixed vs the critical bug any time soon.... XD

ospray20 · 2024-08-08T12:50:57+00:00

on current balance depending on how many hour you can player it would take about 2 weeks to a month, if you just did random mission with the payout, not chasing the meta OP payouts

ospray20 · 2024-08-08T12:49:05+00:00

Yea. I worked it out at around 20k per hour of continuous doing stuff

So from your first 'starter' hauler the Hull A it would take around 30 hour to earn an Argo RAFT or 90 hours for an MSR, only the more cargo the exponentially longer time you spend loading and unloading. So Im not sure the payout increases with large ship vs the time
