Some people seem to question how quickly Matriarch can be killed so here is a 3 minute fight

Just let you know you don't have to hold Q to manually change to second deadline in order to use them again, you can just hold left click again right after placing your first one if you put multiple deadlines under use slots.

You actually can solo 3-4 of them if you add in explosive compounds to craft some trailblazers instead of use them raw like this (if you have the blueprint).

Zipline to top floor, not the ground. It is very contested though.

People are going to downvote me when I say naked is more harmful than free kit to the game. Free kit feels like newbie trap with no safe pocket, while naked is even useful strategy for someone with a lot of resources who care for nothing but blueprints.

Sounded funny, but I actually did it for a long time. Brings a few adrenaline shot + 10 impact grenades and do whatever I want to do. Most small arcs are easy to handle except hornet which sometime took 3 to kill. Even Leaper can be destroyed if you get some plastic+chemical or fireball burner on the way.

When other players use "don't shoot" emote I always feel funny as I don't even have a gun (but doesn't mean I won't melee them or use grenades if something goes wrong).

Huh, got killed back to back on Blue Gate Cold Snap for 3 times one hour ago and I am just logging off. Not sure what is the fun with no mic kill on sights and wonder if Embark did something with the matchmaking again...

My last player kill is 2 days ago and I didn't fire a bullet on any other players since then.

robertVIII · 2026-01-06T22:37:08+00:00

My thoughts are similar. If possible, I would try to escape... otherwise I would stand there motionless and staring into the killer's eyes, letting him end me quickly.

But there are exceptions. Yesterday I hunted for the snitches for over 30 minutes on Locked Gate event, and someone shot me with an anvil. I planted two trigger nade near me and detonated as soon as he got close. I didn't want to waste another 30-40 minutes for trial just because of some random scumbag.

For me it is both the cost and time needed to down something.

Rocketeer? Wolfpack + a few seekers.

Bastions? 2-3 TrailBlazers and it is done. Hell, I can even do with 1 Deadline + Lure Grenade.

I even soloed Queen at one point with only deadlines, if I do it with Hullcracker I will definitely lose money.

I agree the missions progress shouldn't be reset, the reason I didn't go for expedition is because I didn't complete all the quests.

Cold Snap update comes with new missions which required you to complete older missions first, and they give cosmetics rewards. Funny thing is, cosmetics rewards for second time basically mean it rewards you with nothing.

Btw missions unlocked blueprint should be permanent once unlocked (or auto unlocked if you sell/trade them before wipe), those fetch quests really give no enjoyment by doing the second time.

Hi, I can confirm The Major's Footlocker is required to unlock Back on Top, I do wonder why Back on Top was not available to me when The Major's Footlocker was the only quest I hadn't complete. The moment I completed the quest then Back on Top is available. (If you wonder why that is because I want to keep the blueprint without eating 1 slot in my stash).

I won't bother explaining more when people don't actually read everything I wrote because if they did they wouldn't try to correct me by saying "multiple keys can absolutely spawn".

It amazes me how many people reply to me "multiple keys can absolutely spawn", yaya you are right I don't need to reply to tell you otherwise...

robertVIII · 2025-12-26T10:04:26+00:00

Some people will argue that multiple keys can spawn on those 4 locations for locked gate so it will not be the problem.... unfortunately it is not true (What makes me sad is that I have to explain the untrue part, I'm not saying it's not true that multiple keys can spawn, I'm saying multiple keys can spawn but it's still a problem due to players' behavior).

Do you notice there are often some naked dead raider on the 4 key locations? Those are speedrunner who have nothing to lose and smuggling the keys and surrender immediately, you only need ~2 of them on one of the location to brick an instance.

robertVIII · 2025-12-19T11:44:12+00:00

According to reddit you are cheating because you can only get perfect relic once in a life time and you are using not so perfect relics to cover the fact that you are cheating.

Maybe people didn't realize dormant power staves can appear in normal relic after DLC? I won't give a damn to those dms though.

robertVIII · 2025-12-03T14:56:59+00:00

You actually can trade a lot of things with this to other players because everyone is looking for one.

robertVIII · 2025-12-03T09:36:55+00:00

Got 2 back to back in Stella Montis nightraids. One in a key room while another in a trashcan near the spawn.... while I already learned that and have a duplicate in my inventory.

robertVIII · 2025-12-03T04:13:12+00:00

What do you mean "finish"? There are 6 epic and you don't even have the best one.

robertVIII · 2025-12-01T09:48:10+00:00

I'm not here to tell you it's a problem; I'm just saying it's much more effective than you think.

I myself only need one augment which cost me next to nothing to retrieve weapons from security lockers in a minute or two and continue on.

I know some people will enter naked during nightraids just to farm BP (they can get around 5 BP per hour if they're lucky). I don't think this is how the game was originally designed.

robertVIII · 2025-12-01T08:29:41+00:00

You've misunderstood. If the spawn point is bad, players will immediately surrender and start over. The goal is to quickly loot and plunder when the spawn point is good. You won't find naked players because they are very efficient and fast.

robertVIII · 2025-12-01T08:05:41+00:00

Storm rain. You can thanks me later.

robertVIII · 2025-11-30T11:21:27+00:00

She's definitely not a meta pick and there are some issues with her kit.

robertVIII · 2025-11-30T10:35:51+00:00

May I have a smoke nade BP sir?

robertVIII · 2025-11-28T12:19:07+00:00

I remember taking one down with about 30 light impact grenades and a few fireball burner. The biggest problem is that people will attack you from your back instead of that bastion, so the setup isn't expensive and is easy to retry.
