I aint ready to introduce those sweaty PVP lobbies into my algorithm yet coming soon though!


I haven't seen a friendly in weeks. I don't even get the guys bitching in proximity chat anymore when they get killed yelling things like "im friendly you a-hole". Its now just silence or rage haha

Yup. No more voices. Only bullets and flares.

I was in a lobby with mds earlier and it must have gave him priority matchmaking because everyone was like “don’t shoot” “friendly”. Killing arcs without a care in the world….

And I’m over here with this PvP PTSD on edge the whole time probably looking sus af to those guys.

But I admit. It was nice to be back in on of those lobbies for a bit.

Thanks again for the BP and showing me your berried city run. <3

I got the friend invite just didn’t notice until logging off. I may be back in later in the evening.

Yellow is an air drop. You can call them at different spots.

Ive got about 20 hours in. Working on finishing my benches and my last storage upgrade. PvE is easy enough to get to solo just dont shoot anyone or be in the vicinity of others a while without conflict.

Got a few decent prints. No gold ones yet but i got a legendary mod for the anvil that makes the bullets split into 4.

I have been using metalforge maps to locate weapon crates on my free loadout runs.

Still cant figure out why game wont connect without a vpn.

How are players so fast at looting solos? I got a hospital spawn on buried city on a fresh run. I got to hospital at 28:00 and the place is already picked through

If you are the lowest level of aggression based matchmaking, you essentially have nothing to fear other than arc, but they are trivial when you bring it an appropriate loadout. People in the PVE lobbies will pick every bootable container clean very quickly with no looming threat of PvP.

Yeah, It's a completely different world where I play




OK folks. Get this week's trials done! They are very easy to accomplish, and you get some great loot from the 3 stars. I got the following so far:

*Bobcat
*Loot3 Survivor BP
*Venator BP


Yeah, it's worth your time and effort. I do not know which trial yielded which loot, but I have all but the ticks and pops one done. Here's what to do. Keep in mind, you need to do it all on night raids to get it. The double points are huge and needed



Harvesting plants: Go to Spaceport at the most northern part. There is a long path that stretches east to west. Start at the point by the hatch, drop down into the ditch, and start by looting the tree with the mushrooms. Then just take your time heading west and harvesting every mullein and fruit tree you see. Boom, 3 stars. Also you can very well get your Bastion 3 starred as well as your Bastion/Rocketter/Leaper one, because a Bastion often spawns here. Kill one Bastion and you get 3 stars for both of those quests.


Bastion and the 3 Arc one: Go to buried city loaded up with 3 trailblazers. Find a bastion, hide, and hit him with all 3. Boom, quests done. You can bring 2 stacks of blaze grenades as well and do the same thing. Maybe bring it all just in case someone sees you fighting the Bastion and decides to help. That happened to me, so I waited for the second spawn. I hit it with my anvil a few times until I saw my quest pop up saying I got my 3 stars. It's super easy. Just find a room, peek, shoot the leg a few times, get cover, wait for his 3 sets of shots to finish, repeat.

Wasps: Same thing, go to buried city. Go to the area by the Southern Station, get in one of the buildings there and start shooting. When you see a snitch, shoot it but don't kill it, let it call more wasps, kill them, rinse repeat. You'll knock it out easily.


The best part of this location is a bastion can spawn sometimes. You can potentially knock all 3 trials out in one spot.

Apparently Embark experienced a heavy DDOS attack today and the game was pretty much unplayable. I see steam is patching the game. Anyone been on in the last hour know if the game is fine to play?

Glad it was date night tonight then.

Need to start crafting stitcher and anvil 4’s because I have to many metal part and components.

Also…apparently the venator and few other semi others fire rate was reduced to 20% by accident. Not sure if fixed yet.

Because of that the new “meta” is Anvil 4/ toro 4. Can vouch for toro.
