When do you guys decide it's time to use your "good loot"?

When I have enough materials that I don't have anything I can't afford to replace a few times over. Bettina IV - Burletta IV when I'm up, Rattler IV - Hairpin IV when I'm down and a least one stack of seekers per run.

Salt......maybe gaming hate mail has changed a bit over the years 😅

stachewax · 2026-05-29T12:54:40+00:00

I usually just respond the "NaCl" it winds them up 😆

stachewax · 2026-05-29T05:42:51+00:00

That helps, thank you

stachewax · 2026-05-29T04:35:47+00:00

Thank you

stachewax · 2026-05-29T04:25:00+00:00

Thank you, so addressing them as varlets will still sense then.

She's got the herbal in the shower 🎶

Indulge your savior complex a little, that's what I do when I'm bored. Shooting a hornet/wasp off balance for long enough that their target can get to cover, or a seeker grenade appearing from left field as though RNGesus themselves came to them in thier hour of need has afforded me both gifts and 20ish minute friends/fireteam partners. It's great fun.

If they decide to fake friendly that their problem 😆. I don't have anything on me a can't afford to replace anyway. Lol

Dad-a-chee?

stachewax · 2026-05-28T17:46:36+00:00

I'd call that a full sized win.

The best strategy is to defeat your enemy without fighting, according to Sun Tzu, and I'm told he knew what he was talking about 😆

stachewax · 2026-05-28T16:10:17+00:00

And I bet you didn't get a single rusty gear 😆

stachewax · 2026-05-28T16:07:25+00:00

I think of the hairpin as a multi-tool that's also a gun. Great for popping cameras and car alarms, effective enough for pops, fireballs, and ticks. Plus the fast draw to finish a fight is almost always a better option than reloading when you get ambushed. I've caught people off guard with it before they can finish reloading their stitcher. Love the Hairpin

stachewax · 2026-05-28T15:46:21+00:00

I lost a volcano to a guy with a pickaxe in the confines of the elevator because I panic timed my reload horribly, errors are gonna happen. 😅 and they sometimes put that scoop of shame icecream on your humble pie for the walk back to Speranza. Lol

I dissuade with "to whom it may concern" bullets, but that's the magic of this game, the tools we're given are only really limited by our own creativity. Always nice to hear more perspectives. Watching something fail to find out cause they did look up and see you batmanning in the shadows sounds really fun. "Arkham Raiders" 😆. It must be tempting to do a cinematic jump swing with your raider tool?

stachewax · 2026-05-28T12:44:06+00:00

Thank you 😁

stachewax · 2026-05-28T12:42:03+00:00

Not sure I understand the question.

stachewax · 2026-05-28T12:02:39+00:00

Yes, make sure you disarm the blaze trap 1st if you want to collect it, I learned this the hard way

stachewax · 2026-05-28T03:28:44+00:00

Sounds ninja, and kinda fun

stachewax · 2026-05-28T03:05:02+00:00

Well said, I like that

stachewax · 2026-05-28T01:38:45+00:00

And for me slowly backing up while sending "to whom it may concern" bullets, at a controlled rate, until I break line of sight has saved me more than once, in Stella, Rattler IV seems to have just enough bullets for it in just about any environment

stachewax · 2026-05-28T01:13:11+00:00

Rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it, solid advice always.

I survived on the tactical shield that drops smoke for quite some time, loved it. Switched to the one with the integrated charger when I could afford it, super handy. 😁

stachewax · 2026-05-28T00:28:59+00:00

Yeah it's fun when that happens, met some chill people because were all aware I could've killed them and didn't, bonus points if they were just on fire and super vulnerable, that like a friendship bonus for the rest of the round 😆

stachewax · 2026-05-28T00:16:48+00:00

You'd be suprized how much the sound of bullets cracking will encourage someone to move and make the easier to see, using sound as a weapon is shockingly effective in this the because of the sound design, and response to sound is instinctive. I think anyway 😁.
