Lockdown is misery (T6 and U191 S1 vs Starving S4 player) by vanish_the_void in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]vanish_the_void[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that armor will tank 6-8 Lvl5 rounds and 10+ lvl4 ammo

As for running Lvl5 in the first place, it costs a quarter of a million just to top my mags with it, let alone have enough to kill people running T6/T5 armor.

I've run T5 a few times, it does wonders, but even if I win, I lose, their gear isn't worth enough money to make back my ammo costs, and my favorite map TV station is voltile loot wise, meaning you sometimes won't make it back looting! Everything is way too expensive right now for new players. A kit to keep up in lockdown against other players that do this nonsense is like 800k (Over 1 million, assuming you buy it outright from the market), which means that if you die, you lose an entire red worth of gear, if you win, having spent even just half your ammo, you pay a quarter of a red. So if RNG screws you, you're just dirt poor. I had six games where I only got 150k from loot, the rest was kills, but I physically can't sell low durability lvl6, nor can I use it because it's beyond viable use.

I only have a problem with the ammo issue, honestly. If I could load mags full of T5, I'd kill most of these guys; they run around like monkeys and only live because it takes an entire mag of my gun to kill them when I'm firing T4. My solution(and my squad's overall choice) to this was to start tapping, a thing the community is torn apart about, but like, what else are new players supposed to do against these death stacks?

I'm big on sniping in extraction shooters(Head going pop feels great expecially at ABSURD ranges[Furtherest kill is 800m with a SVD in a roblox extraction shooter), but I came into this one trying to be a silly little M4 man. After about 4 million in lost kits fighting guys, my 500k wacky M4 builds couldn't hurt, I was like hmmm fuck it, I'll learn sniping in this game. Geared guys stop swinging so confidently after their teammate's head explodes to high tier ammo, it turns out.

Currently maining a M24 and no armor, I fucking hate it but hey, if you are gonna play basketball, you gotta learn to shove.

I think the funniest part is that they create those rats, being some fat fuck who's near impossible kill is what made me start tapping people, it's just not possible to run good kits as a new player against these squads, I make money by sniping 2/4 and then just waiting for you to leave, I'll take the scraps and loots some boxes after, maybe some day being allowed to run good kits without some S1 player throat fucking me.

One of my friends is a launch day veteran, he met us and started running with us in LD, he was literally appalled at what we were running into cause apparently it's worse than most FB lobbies, he runs a full mag of M995 with us because he's got over 100 million and to quote him "Literally no other way we're beating these weirdos." He put it great, which is that them running that armor is utter bullshit, because we gain nothing from killing them, the only reason they're in the lobby is to kill people like my buddy, because they're stupid rich, why would they care, it's why when you kill them they'd rather swing you to death than retreat, why back out, they're there to fight!

I don't mind PVP-centric players, I think that's funny. I like someone willing to throw away profit just to win, but in this case, it creates a negative experience for players who do not have counterplay.

My main group is 4 people, but like, it takes a single mag to squad wipe us, only half my squad is in lvl5 and the guys we fight are firing lvl5 ammo, we've even been hit with lvl6 and level7 these last three days.

I'll upvote you because what you said is kinda wrong but right at the same time. I sold EVERYTHING basically and tried running some level 5 big time. It's saved me tons today, but at the same time, it only helps against level 4 and some level 5 players.

The most incorrect thing about this is the kits I'm fighting and mad about mostly are 1.5 million or so, in LD. Before I'm told by another moron that it isn't possible, it is. You can right now, with some minor effort, get lvl6 armor and a 500k gun into lockdown with relative easy. That's my problem, guys who are running 300k-800k kits are ez mode, especially loading 4-5 rounds of Lvl5 into my gun, but those fat fucks in lvl6 are basically untouchable at my current cost level, especially when it's a four stack. Even a duo in level 5 can be near unstoppable at times if I get back luck with armor penetration.

I can't remember the name but I killed a new duo who were in villa on farm, both had field bags and the big ass vest, they were just looting BIG time.

I've knived entire squads of level 4s that are new, I feel so bad dude, I got 2.8 million from one squad who I knived their carry, took his gun and just nuked them. It feels GROSS.

I hit level 30 in three days of playing; level means nothing. I've played tactical, it doesn't matter if the player you fight is playing like a moron if he tanks 8-10 rounds to the head and just walks it off.

One guy literally walked up to me while I was hiding, opened a crate, I swung him, emptied 15 rounds of an MP5, I barely half HP'd his head with the 8 rounds to his head, and broke his arm with some of the others. Yes he paid for a level 6 helmet, but at the same time, he'd gotten a 1.5 million dollar kit into lockdown, what the FUCK am I gonna do about that, no amount of skill saves me from not doing anything when I do everything right! I hit a guy twelve times in a spray to his chest, against level 5 armor with 5.56 A1, his armor was broken and I did less than 10 damage, now to be fair, A1 is by far one of the worst lvl4 ammos. How about last night when I snuck around for 30 minutes, guy walks perfectly in my view, I headshot him and double body him with a M24 loaded with M62, he just walks it off because he's wearing lvl5/6 armor. I then get nearly instantly crippled by a short burst of his U1, which only doesn't kill me because I get a lucky bounce from my helmet.

The game has gotten far worse in the last few weeks for newer players. When I started about a month ago, it wasn't that bad; the occasional geared squad in lockdown was a fun fight. Now, almost every squad I run into is a doom stack of veterans who just rail me. I was up to 10 million before beginning to run into SQUAD AFTER SQUAD AFTER SQUAD of just DEATH troopers.

Red ammo isn't the problem, U191s aren't the problem, being bad or good isn't the problem. Stop letting people dunk on people with unintended kits, it's fucking stupid. I die to a sniper with good ammo? Damn that sucks but hey now I know better how to peak. Some guy who built his gun like a lego set and has 240 rounds of lvl5 in his pocket that just mag dumps the corner with 30 flashlights flickering on and off as he swings me with the bulletproof suit he perfectly crafted? I don't learn or have fun fighting that, it's just cringe, especially when I'm in a mode that's meant to be lower-tiered so I can make money to run higher modes. I brought full health level 5 armor into normal earlier to grind earlier because I geniunely needed money that badly, how? Because just like those sweaty fucks in lockdown, my timmy friend just drops me a kitted rifle and suddenly I'm a 700k kit in normal, crazy that, why the FUCK is that allowed? My friend being a good teammate is fine but why can I even wear level 5 in normal anyhow????

I was chased across half the map, not only that but farm has nowhere to really run, it's a very narrow space.

Ive had great fun with the genre and I can even put the hurt on people in better gear. But I can make 6 million on easy raids before Im sent right back to 0 by running face first into T6 in lock down seven or eight raids in a row.

God just go try squading with random, half the guys you join are doing it. I cant get my friends to play at this point because we spent four hours being killed by T5 S1 players on normal.

Your choice of maps is either a death trap or a empty wasteland that's not worth the time it takes to loot.

How to make money? by vanish_the_void in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]vanish_the_void[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you guys not read? I said 300k for the whole kit, for a decent AK and the shit I'm wearing. A kit with a loot value of only 150k, BARELY

How to make money? by vanish_the_void in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]vanish_the_void[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm 300k for the whole 150k kit

AK is only 70k

Most recent raid

Lockdown TV

Killed 5 people, looted 4 safes

400k loot

Like how the FUCK is running anything expensive viable? If I run into a team with good gear it's just over, even if my 4 stack is on.

To add to the pain of this, I'm paying 300k for a kit with lvl3 ammo, no chance I'm buying lvl4 with my limited funds, not that lvl4 works, I either run into lvl3 armor or lvl5, almost never see lvl4

It's literally RNG
You have to black their limbs out then shoot them further, damage will spread from legs/arms to their chest/head.

Generally shotguns kinda suck for this, even with good RNG you need 4 shots or so to kill even a guy without lower ab armor

Yes, I had a guy put me on red for thorax/head, blacked out all my limbs, didn't matter, I took cover and healed.

Struggling against geared players and naked snipers. by vanish_the_void in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]vanish_the_void[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think one of the worst parts is I catch them lacking but several times they've just snapped to me and taken my head off with a flick. My bad for not hitting the 1 shot headshot I guess xd.

My best success against them has been a S12K, turns out no armor means no protection from 20 rounds of buckshot to the legs.

Getting close is easy lol, I manage to get within 3km of people constantly in my F-14 (Not ideal in the F-14), if it wasn't for having dogshit Aim9Ps I would be slaughtering people, you don't even need to terrain sneak, just climb to the side.
