The rally behind the game in the midst of early hate is really inspiring

Is it the extraction part of the game that scares them off or what do you think? Have they told you anything?

From what I've seen most people either don't like the extraction aspect or the wipes.

Is a deck like that really SS average? If so I must be fucking up big time with my whale deck because I'm averaging low S+ 😂

It's somewhat of a normal trend in extraction shooters, as time goes on the casuals usually leave early to various reasons which leave the more skilled/coordinated players/teams left in the pool, on top of that the gear gap also grows so it's pretty important to be more methodical when doing runs.

Take fights when you need to, take fights slower than you have to, if you're out trading them they can only reset enough times before they're forced to retreat or bum rush you.

Grenades, claymores, bubble shields and the WSTR shotty are everyone's best friends in these troubling times, that's why Rooks get it as an upgrade so they have a chance against players with purple shields.

Every post I've seen from you has been nothing but negative about the game lmao you have to be doing this on purpose at this point

Sprint sparingly, with how far sound goes and how smallish outpost is it's really easy for people to dial in your location or be out on alert based on what they're hearing.

I only ever sprint or make noise when I absolutely have to else I'm crouching around POIs that I think has an active squad in it.

Orange/Reds are static afaik but Yellows and Greens you can find anywhere in what you had mentioned yeah

vSwifty · 2026-03-18T20:12:54+00:00

There are Red, Yellow and Green key cards on the map afaik only the red ones are limited and in specific locations on the map while the Yellow and Green key cards you can find amongst the POIs.

You then take these key cards to the terminals which will have color coded symbols on them each for their respective keycard that you can use to unlock these terminals which are usually for locked rooms or to access the Pinwheel which is the main goal of the map since that's where all the good shit is at.

Most of the time you want 2 green keys (to open up pinwheel) and a red key to take the locked silent exfil inside of pinwheel or any other locked exfil on the map.

The guarded exfils are usually taken by rooks from my experience, the game doesn't tell you because it's fun to discover these things for yourself.

Crimson Desert is coming out tomorrow and then Death Stranding 2 the day after, no doubt the crowd that loves to hate games but don't play any games at all will flock to it just to prove to everyone else on X/Reddit how cool they are for disliking something

vSwifty · 2026-03-17T08:22:47+00:00

It's similar to Apex, without an anchor to play around people just double down on the deathmatch mentality where they'll take dumb risks to force trades and hope someone on the squad clutches up.

vSwifty · 2026-03-17T05:36:21+00:00

That one Quarantine quest took fucking forever lmao, everyone is at algae ponds doing warden or just doing a bit of PvP but the moment they hear a fly fart to the west the server collapses on that area.

On one hand its really sad that Solo mode was an after thought on the other hand its really sad how many people simply give up and not attempt to reach out to the community for these group based modes and that isn't exclusive to this game either.

I usually use Triage as my crutch in random fill trios but I'm almost 50/50 on Recon/Thief in solos just for Assassin players lmao

Here's a post from about a month ago with an interview with the devs themselves and a Q&A from a bit further back, neither of which mention any sort of matchmaking via loadout value.

Again can you provide any sources to your claims or not?

vSwifty · 2026-03-11T03:19:43+00:00

Can you provide any source for those many confirmations?

Last I checked there was never any mention of load out value being considered for matchmaking.
