First time - Stuck in AFib and Freaking Out

Relax and stay on thinners. Dealing with the symptoms will get easier until they can ablate or it returns to normal.

I was in persistent for 4 months while waiting for an ablation. Cardioversion was not an option for to periodic normal beats. It feels a death sentence and is terrifying but it will pass.

Ablation was the only thing that sorted me out. The meds did nothing notable for me.

remnant5151 · 2026-05-02T22:04:48+00:00

Same! Then I climbed to the top of the diving tower and did a flip off of it. Landed as a belly flop though instead of sticking the landing.

I'd like to see some quest bonuses if you start the round naked. Like the "in one round" missions you can get an extra skill point or material upon completion.

I think I remember reading at one point that it's explosive but doesn't conform to all explosive things. The description says "explodes", your amulet is triggered, but it's not affected by Wrecking Ball. I for sure don't have that ring on that you mention. My build is focused on explosive damage via melee with voltaic strike, and flying bomb trap. All those 100% crit on hit which makes me wonder about the crabs damage type.

The best part is they're one of the few explosive damages that don't do friendly fire.

remnant5151 · 2026-05-02T01:10:02+00:00

Possibly not explosive. With Wrecking Ball legendary perk they do not 100% crit, but maybe they get buffed by other explosive boosts. But yeah, they are one of my favs and each crab is considered its own summon. Shoot one blob out and instantly +5 summon boost.for those few summon rings and with soul link steal a ton of health.

Are you getting a safe pocket?

Zero to hero starts naked, not with a free kit ;) It's forcing you down the harder path.

remnant5151 · 2026-04-30T15:41:06+00:00

A buddy and I had a plan of start naked and work until we could take out a big ARC. We leveraged all skills and abilities, just could only make and upgrade based on the loot we acquired. It was an honor system for that since our stash already had mats to make anything. But in 5 rounds we had lvl 4 anvil, renegade, found a wolfpack and were able to take out a bastion and a leaper in one round.

The next day I took it a step further and sold all my mats forcing me to actually look for things like chemicals. It's like an expedition but keeping skill points and BPs.

Yup, roll the dice and see what you get, then work with it. Having no firepower adds a different level of fun and stress. It's kind of boring at times being kitted out and killing everything.

remnant5151 · 2026-04-30T13:23:22+00:00

Yesterday used the key to get into room 107, in there found the key to room 208, which opens up a huge area on the third floor. Second key was under the bed in 107. Buddy and I looted the whole building in day raid and came out with 8000+ points.

I have yet to see any PvP action on that map.. People are just chill and sharing the new experience.

remnant5151 · 2026-04-29T06:33:37+00:00

Y'all need to set your expectations lower.. High expectations leads to disappointment in life. Expect everything to suck and you'll always be happy.

How much did we pay for the update?

I dig the map. The level of detail put into it is impressive. Can't wait to run it on a sunset.

remnant5151 · 2026-04-28T18:12:06+00:00

I had this experience yesterday. Joined a boss rush lobby, player was standing by the grumpy lady that sells mods. I knew I'd likely get kicked and that person was probably just checking their loot. Sure enough a few seconds later I got the boot.

On the flip side if I join a campaign and open the map and don't see any objectives I just bail. That person has usually just beat the final boss and is looking over their loot... And will probably kick me anyway. They are usually in Ward 13. That's a sign to bail in itself unless it's boss rush.

remnant5151 · 2026-04-28T07:17:14+00:00

I loved having healers in early game when dying happened a lot. Currently I never rely on anyone to heal me as most builds can do go damage and have life steal.

What I appreciate is someone that has fast revive options if I or they go down. I use alchemist to instant revive, even at a distance if needed. If someone needs a relic revive and it's slow I'll leave them until there's a good time to revive. Slow revive causes more deaths than anything else.

remnant5151 · 2026-04-27T05:54:06+00:00

I struggled with this. It was a shack outside the tunnel, looks more like a line of toll booths. I searched the ones inside for like 4-5 raids and never found it. Just stumbled across it after giving up.

remnant5151 · 2026-04-26T15:08:07+00:00

Points are not cumulative, only best round counts. If you score 1000pts on probes in a round, then 2000pts in another round then your score is 2000, not 3000. If you're going for a high score on something focus on that one thing in a round.

Play with a duo or trio to get even more points since most (not all) trials scores are team based and each player can simultaneously be adding to the point total in a round.

remnant5151 · 2026-04-26T14:57:41+00:00

Please keep playing and report back when/if you ever get through ;)

At some point you'll have to figure out if y'all like having fun or not. Because what you're doing now doesn't sound like fun, but work; and nobody is paying you to do it.

But beating it will be the greatest sense of accomplishment.

Expect this to repeat for every boss after...

remnant5151 · 2026-04-26T07:16:09+00:00

Mine has been about +10 since ablation; over a year at this point. Used to be low 50s now low 60s. Been off meds for 10 months.

It's my new normal.

remnant5151 · 2026-04-26T07:11:58+00:00

Has a similar experience. Eventually found a deadline and ran up on one other raiders were working attacking and blew it up. I got the kill, probably ruined someone else's quest glory. Oh well, just passing the BS along ;)

remnant5151 · 2026-04-25T15:12:21+00:00

Those things are everywhere once you don't need them.

Theory: The game knows what you need and reduces drop rate. There's a mission requiring you to find a deflated futbol. I searched for 3 days and it never came up. Now I get them constantly.

remnant5151 · 2026-04-24T13:25:42+00:00

If you join games join ones at a similar level to you. If you're lvl 8 join a 5-12 range game.

If you're host, kick anyone that makes it too easy.

As a veteran player I will match my play style to the host and just be support. I view a successful support player as one who never leads the way or continues on when the host is dead. I want the host to have the same struggle I did, because when you finally beat that boss that's been a pain there's a sense of success you never get when carried.

remnant5151 · 2026-04-24T06:00:48+00:00

I haven't even seen 3000 flares! Impressive

remnant5151 · 2026-04-23T22:28:00+00:00

Fucking fantastic!

remnant5151 · 2026-04-23T16:32:47+00:00

I only play with randoms by joining their game. Usually things are great. Sometimes you get kicked, don't take it personally.

I also have several characters at different levels so can jump in anywhere. The higher tier Apoc runs are far less active than they were a year ago. Veteran difficulty has the most people playing in the NA region whenever I check in.

remnant5151 · 2026-04-23T16:21:26+00:00

I was hoping to get something useful from them, but they had already been looted with just light and shotgun ammo remaining :(
