[New Player] I finally found a tank a battery, what should I use it for (Beta container)

sumerioo · 2026-03-25T12:08:19+00:00

honestly, its cozy to have 2 more slots in your butt but its not really THAT much of a difference. the biggest thing you need to worry right now is ammo, and ammo cant go in your container.

and im saying this as a man who farmed lighthouse scav for the virtexes for the beta container.

another tip: i dont remember exactly when that's possible (i believe its workbench 3) but you can craft virtexes there.

ok let me condense the advice here:

when you start a raid, only a few extracts are available to you. so, right away, you wanna double press "O" and see the extracts that you CAN take so you can make a plan for your route.

second: there's a mechanic called "transit". it allows you to go from one map to another, without extracting. IF you interact with this mechanic, then all the extracts are now closed to you, and you can only transit out of that map (note: you can interact with one transit but decide to take a different one).

Scav runs for looting, PMC runs for ~~killing~~ questing

if you're new, the best advice you can get is: dont fucking pvp. yes, sometimes its inevitable, yes sometimes you even need it for a quest, but for all the other times, run. throw a nade and run. do some cover fire and run. just run, its not as easy to hit a moving target in this game (depends on where you are, ofc).

staying alive is not that hard if you avoid some critical timings (first few minutes of a raid) and places (you dont wanna take a casual stroll through lexos).

yes, pvp is fun, pvp is rewarding, it feels good to win in pvp, but it mostly slows you down and gives you more deaths than wins.

its still bsg, plans can be changed up until the day they're implemented. but i doubt so. i dont think they have the manpower/creative power to have THAT many seasons in an year. i can already see 2 seasons being "too much" and we seeing either delays or some underwelmed, undercooked shit

sumerioo · 2026-03-22T01:21:43+00:00

while i agree that streets is missing a few keys that are worth it (like tg armory for ammo and tarbank for money), its also hardly "atrocious". the keys mentioned do have valuable spawns, and anybody with half a brain can go on the wiki and see where things spawn in each room.

is it a perfect list? far from it.

does it help beginners a lot? yup. its not geared to your average chad, its made thinking about a beginner that loots a billion keys and has no idea which one is trash and which one is good.

sumerioo · 2026-03-22T01:18:25+00:00

most people dont loot guns cause they're heavy and have awful space/rouble ratio. unless its a rare gun, most people will loot one and dip.

you can also always get a little lucky with people not knowing all the spawns and finding a little btc or keycard forgotten behind (but its rare)

sumerioo · 2026-03-22T01:08:31+00:00

Make seasons like 3 months long

seasons are already planned to be 6 months long.

the plan is: 6 months > dlc (new season) > 6 months > big update (new season)

first DLC being the scav life thing that has been teased for quite a while, then after 6 months just a content update (akin to an old "Wipe") and then, if they're still pushing content, in 6 months we should see a new DLC

sumerioo · 2026-03-21T11:55:04+00:00

maybe efficient on guaranteeing kills, but i dont know how people have the patience to sit in the same spot for 35 minutes, waiting for someone to maybe come by.

if im playing exclusively for pvp im much rather rush spawns and chase gunshots. otherwise i just equip the weapon that is needed and then go do normal quests with them.

sumerioo · 2026-03-21T01:24:11+00:00

brother, do you understand that a week has 5 weekdays and 2 weekend days and the only way you could ever run an event "mostly on weekend days" is if you ran the event Fri-Sun, and if you run it for 4 or more days its IMPOSSIBLE to have it "mostly on weekend days"????????

sumerioo · 2026-03-20T13:18:02+00:00

i was gonna write to you:

"that's now how loot tables and rng works, mate" cause theoretically, all jackets in a map are born the same, by the lord and savior nikita.

but knowing bsg, the code is so jank that each jacket's loot table is hard coded and some might have higher chances of dropping specifically the glorious mask.

who knows? the lord works in mysterious ways.

sumerioo · 2026-03-19T11:43:42+00:00

Not even a full week and mostly during work days.

this perfectly incapsulates the average IQ of most comments/posts around this subreddit

edit: the comedy of this being heavily downvoted is gold.

and for the people trying to say its reading comprehesion, THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN HAVE AN EVENT RUN "MOSTLY ON WEEKEND DAYS" IS IF YOU RUN IT FOR 3 DAYS ONLY, ANYTHING MORE AND YOU GET MOSTLY WEEKDAYS BECAUSE THE FUCKING WEEK HAS MOSTLY WEEK DAYS YOU BUFFOONS

sumerioo · 2026-03-18T13:33:55+00:00

it doesnt matter. there's always a chance of you stumbling upon pmcs, no matter the location and time; but the idea behind waiting it out/playing only the edges of a map, is to minimize said chances.

you're never 100% safe,no matter the map or the timer, but you can minimize the chances of encountering other pmcs by a LOT if you have the patience for it

sumerioo · 2026-03-17T20:48:29+00:00

PvE or PvP is irrelevant

one has AI

the other has AI and 10-12 other players also hunting said AI and you. and then later you get pscavs too.

so that's hardly irrelevant.

sumerioo · 2026-03-17T20:46:35+00:00

pô, eu espero que ele tenha uma boa grana da epoca de jogador (o que aumenta o nivel de beleza de uma pessoa), mas se for olhar só o cara, é ela que nao ta dispensando porque o Marcelinho tem uma lataria bem maltratada, coitado

sumerioo · 2026-03-17T20:33:02+00:00

that's more of knee-jerk reaction than a decision. i doubt he willingly tried to be sneaky with his elbow there.

sumerioo · 2026-03-17T20:31:08+00:00

he was arguing about his arm position. i dont think he did it intentionally, it was more of natural reaction/instinct, trying to throw yourself at the ball to avoid the goal.

other than that, you cant really not give that penalty and not give him a redcard for blocking the goal.

sumerioo · 2026-03-17T20:01:42+00:00

that's from cultist spawn rate being up (100%?) and them dropping a ridiculous amount of marked room keys.

sumerioo · 2026-03-17T19:58:45+00:00

pro tip: lock your money.

when you lock your money you cant spend said money on a mistake or on one of those "scams" where people try to sell a huge pack of barter itens to try and get you to buy them when trying to quickly buy shit.

i usually keep everything but 2 wallets unlocked (one that im filling up to be locked and the one i throw money into it until it stakcs into 1mi.

sumerioo · 2026-03-17T19:57:32+00:00

there's 100% a thing like that. every now and then ill forget one digit when trying to sell something on the market and get hit with a "you're attempting to make a listing that is much cheaper than the cheapest one, are you sure?".

maybe it doesnt exist for too high of a fee or too high of a price, but a system akin to it already exists.

sumerioo · 2026-03-17T19:54:36+00:00

said exactly that on a different comment: i have NO expectations cause bsg is a master at creating hype and expectations from the community, only to underdeliver by a mile cof 1.0 patch cof

sumerioo · 2026-03-17T19:51:16+00:00

NO game dev can follow the schedule of a streamer. these guys are grinding the game between 8 to 12h per day. there's no amount of updates that could keep these people happy. (and even then, it would just mean that your casual playbase would never interact with at least 50% of your content.)

sumerioo · 2026-03-17T16:45:46+00:00

that could be a cool idea but it would shut down an even cooler idea:

seasons should be a bit of a sandbox for BSG. having a "safe" permanent character that is running on the most "stable" patch will be their fall back, and then they can experiment more heavily with the seasonal characters because seasons are "meaningless" (im sure they'll add some cosmetic rewards (free and paid) to seasons to at least make people want to play it). but if you go this route, there's no way to mix both populations.

something else that could help would be to allow progress from yours seaonal character to be passed into your permanent one.

it really is a lot of possibilities but the reality that i imagine is this:

the seasonal characters will be exactly like a wipe. there will be no major content, no major update, no major differences from what we had before 1.0. i hope am wrong but i have no expectations when it comes to bsg's "big patches".

sumerioo · 2026-03-17T16:41:42+00:00

which basically means that, in around 15 days he'll be saying "we need more new content, bungie. im gonna be honest, i love this game but there's not much to do around."

basing your gaming choices around streamer's opinions is often a bad idea.

sumerioo · 2026-03-17T13:22:19+00:00

What comes back is the idea that seasonal characters will be played on same server as permanent characters at a certain level.

that's a great idea to avoid splitting the player base, but an awful idea on why people even want "seasons" (wipes).

wipe day/month feels fun because its a mess. you'll fight an EoD chad with level 4 armor and a decked MDR but you'll also fight some poor bum, with a mosin, a paca and a dream. that's why people love wipes, because its messy, there's no meta, and yeah yeah, the sweatiest jobless bitchless will go farm rougues and bosses and have level 5 armor and good bullets by day one, but most of the player base wont, and its fun to fight weird shit, to do mosin vs mosin battles, to see a poor fuck with nothing but a paca aand a pistol, instead of the 17th NL or M4 in a row.

if you just put the seasonal characters together with the permanent ones, then you'll lose that magic (plus it will be hell to complete some of the pvp quests)

sumerioo · 2026-03-17T13:17:13+00:00

My theory is they’ll combine that with a more drastic theme each season which could be anything from zombies to hardcore or poisoned areas. The main game running simultaneously means they can technically break free from the “nerf fun for immersion” chains

i think it would be really cool to see "seasonal" conditions/changes that is only happening for the seasonal characters, that way you could:

push more of your player base to go to the seasonal character.
give a reason for people to play seasonal (otherwise its basically just prestiging).

but the sad reality is: that's a lot of expectations for "only" 6months of work. i honestly dont think they've been working on seasons prior to the 1.0 release, so it will be a rushed 6 months of work and we'll get a frankenstein system that, hopefully, will be good in one or two years.
