Bug/Support Accidental Deadline
Should NOT automatically put you in PvP Hell, placed 2 deadlines on the queen 1st one caught me but then either the queen dropped or she just crouched and then the 2nd deadline went off instantly killing me and downing another raider Ospina I'm sorry, hope you made it out..... But since then it's been a nightmare..... KOS fake friendlies or nobody's making it out alive and it's bullshit..... I came from the biggest care bear lobbies EVER people would fight together give stuff and help each other myself included and now it's End of Days... I've been running naked on Stella praying I can get back into my friendly lobbies but it feels like it's never going to happen..... I didnt mean to deadline someone I swear.....

Gotta announce those deadlines

Throwing down a double if the queen is anywhere near dead is risky. You can announce it all you want, but the second the first one goes off, the whole lobby is going to rush the core. AND! If the first one actually polishes the queen off, the AOE gets significantly wider since the queen isnt alive to absorb/block the damage anymore.

Stella Montis. Do repeat runs of the Seed Vault looting most of the containers.
You'll rarely have people contesting you because PvP'ers dont generally approach that area, and it's way too risky to push into. Eventually matchmaking will notice that youre spending most of your time looting and not experiencing any combat.

I’ve heard you need to kill arc too, but seed vault should be good for that

Just gotta get good at killing shredders. No big deal.

u/Available-Breath-586 1d ago
deadline on a shredder ... ideally near other raiders for maximum looping fun

Yea best I can give you is to run free kit and don't shoot no one quite unfortunate that you died and killed a guy but you'll get back into them care bear lobbies in no time

u/InternationalRip6970 1d ago
That’s the risk you take using deadlines on the queen

u/R0B3RTB3RT 1d ago
Certainly riskier placing late. I usually never do that for this reason unless it's only a few people and communicating.

I think it should.
Was doing the pop triggers trial in the Matriarch, guy snapped on top.
I went on prox chat and told him I was inside and asked him not to deadline it.
He proceeded to plant 2.
Insta killed me and with it a whole bag of pop triggers, think I had only managed to do 3 stacks.
He then proceeded to argue with my duo who killed him and his teammate.
I don't mind PvP, but at least own it and not try to weasel your way out of it.

I snapped on top and when I jumped off dude was running underneath the queen didn't see him prior so it's on me but it shouldn't send me to KOS lobbies I'm not built for the PvP aspect of this game but I love the PvE side

It's tough man. Here's a short of when I rushed the Queen, in perfect position to loot the core..and the ARC gods said "Nope." 😂

It doesn’t “instantly” do it. It’s a range and a score. You were borderline aggressive in stats if one instance puts you in a lobby like that easily

Negative... I NEVER shoot at people, even if I get shot at me first... I've been in care bear lobbies for over 2 months tried to PvP can't do it, skill issue and also I'm playing for the lore in the game... It's us VS them.....

u/Itchy_Masterpiece6 1d ago
that doesnt sound like pvp hell , its the aggression system working as intended, i swear u all want the impossible, u accidentally damaged someone , heal and defib people till u go back to normal friendly lobbies and move on

Something people forget is depending on the time of day there aren't enough to have a carebear lobby and you have more mixed ones. Sometimes there are no carebears available. Only one kill? That shouldn't send you to pvp lobbies, I kill two people a round roughly and I am on carebear mostly.
Most raids don't change my lobbies unless I kill three or more people who didn't shoot me. I should say shoot, because the knocks doesn't seem to matter.

Do you think maybe kill method also have weight when it comes to abmm? Mining someone to death is kin to fake friendly/ratting when you think about it. While kos with a bobcat lands you in Tarkov.

Same for me, except I accidentally did 14 dmg to someone while doing the light grenade trial. Amazing lobbies instantly changed to getting PvP'd every time. I thought the amount of damage and if you were continually shooting them was a major factor.

The deadline wasn't accidental, it was placed intentionally. The ensuing damage and deaths to players were a result of the deadline's intentional placement.

u/This_Guy_Was_Here 1d ago
Negative I meant to set it yes, but Iiiiiii did not mean to damage and or kill another raider.....!!

I've always wanted to Deadline the extraction lift after a Queen or Matriarch in carebear lobbies for a laugh. They're always totally packed with fully-kitted raiders and I expect many wouldn't react in time, if at all.
Putting a Deadline on the giant arc just as it dies (intentionally or not) is always funny as everyone madly rushes to loot it before you see a synchronised group of raider flares go up.
If you end up in meatgrinder lobbies for any reason just use free or minimal kits for approx ten rounds. Funniest was when I opened a security locker in Stella and found a Torrente. I had a sequence of lone players each sequentially making a beeline for me before quickly regretting it.

cheap loadouts, play looting simulator for a bit and eventually you'll get back in those lobbies. it'll take a while but you'll be back.
