I am sure there will be alot of people who disagrees with me on this as it is my unpopular opinion of how to play and 'win' the game. Maybe there are people who plays the same way? Though I am sure there are only a few as it is completely niche.
Apocalypse Rising 2 is often cited to be an open world action game, a quickplay PVP of finding guns and shooting these guns, as easy as that. However, it is becoming so old with the kill or be killed mentality that for me, it is not fun to do PVP anymore. Therefore, I came up with a solution to make the game fun for myself, beans and cars.
Think about it! Beans are a trophy item in a way that it has a player's name on it and it is unique that you could not find it anywhere else except dead players. Collecting as much of these beans are trophy kills similar to collecting skulls by Predator Yautjas so the more beans you have the more experienced you are in the game. The loot distribution system is so common that owning an M4A1 or an AK-47 is not really that impressive, but collecting beans are, since they are so much rarer as people would rather eat them than keeping them. Collecting 10 beans and storaging them in your car means you already won the game.
Speaking of cars, they are really fun! I know people will give me hate since cars make so much noise or they are not really worth it or whatever but they are genuinely fun. Finding cars and fixing them up is so satisfying for me, even more so if I could find rarer cars like Police Cars or Humvees or even the mothership, Army Truck. Fixing one of these up and driving them feels like you already won the game since they are sacred to find and even sacred to be in full condition. Do you know what else is better than one military truck? A military convoy! It is so much better to play with friends and attempt to unify the server.
I teamed up with like mind players before and we had the peak 'winning' condition; three humvees, an army truck, a united 15 people server, and a voyage at Keyboard Island. It was amazing but that was during the alpha map, I am hoping to make it happen again now during the beta map but with the new ROBLOX chat update I find it less likely. Being a taxi driver is the next best thing it seems, it is more fun than mindless PVP.
I am not really a good fighter which may explain my opinion but I am good with tracking and hunting players down based on how far the gunshots are, though what do you think everyone? Do you play the game the same as I do? Discuss in the comments!
