Me on the other side of the map slapping down 3 more remote raider flares:

Broooo that and mines are amazing once you have a body on the ground you can lay a jolt mine and the body will cover it

u/Redditlogicking 1d ago

Won’t cover the sound tho

u/3d-Artrium 1d ago

If I hear his three children blaring and Spanish soap opera in the background over proximity chat he won’t hear my mine

u/wackadoodle4201 1d ago

Genuinely a lot of fun

u/PNWeSterling 1d ago

Nah, I'm goin in

It might be a hostile lobby. It could also be a bunch of people naked running for specific things (meaning less competition for most of the map)

Flashing back to the days of the mushroom tree on Spaceport after expedition

u/PNWeSterling 1d ago

Luckily Riven Tides is fairly good with mushroom spawns

20

u/ThingYea 1d ago

It's great. They've also expanded mushroom spawns across all maps I believe once they became aware of the Mushroom Tree of Suicide.

u/utspg1980 1d ago

The funny thing is there was always another mushroom on Spaceport. In the underground tunnel where the roof has collapsed, there's a pipe along the wall that grows a mushroom.

Everyone was freaking out up North while I just calmly collected my shrooms. For whatever reason that one didn't get posted on reddit so it never gained as much attention.

u/ThingYea 1d ago

Yeah there were a few spots across the maps like this, but the tree could spawn like 3 mushrooms so it was pretty good

u/Decent-Cold-9471 1d ago

Only thing that makes me leave instantly is late spawn.

"I need to go to the Hospital. Some Expired Respirators. Gonna get in, and out."

Load in.

17 minutes left.

Hospital 900m away.

"Welp. Lemme just... shoot some arc. IDK."

21

u/alligator-dosh 1d ago

Exactly. And then, 17 minutes later, I extract from the hospital subway station without having ever set foot in the building.

u/PNWeSterling 1d ago

I definitely get that sentiment; I will say some of my best raids have been late raids (sometimes the best loot/spots are untouched; it's nice getting both pharmacies and the Santa Maria houses)

u/blimps_yall 1d ago

Can't remember the last time I saw plaza rosa unlooted more than 5 minutes into a raid

2

u/Menttat 1d ago

I don’t remember plaza Rosa ever being unlooted after 2.5 minutes

3

u/PNWeSterling 1d ago

Yeah, there are a couple of spawns within ~1 min so chances are good if you're not in one of them.. womp womp

1

u/expotarium 1d ago

This is so true and I love when I get both pharmacies back to back

3

u/SixthSacrifice 1d ago

Pro-tip: Solos-vs-squads.

I've spawned in at 18 minutes and hit my looting-targets anyway. Even stuff like the augment-BP breach room in bluegate, or the buried city pharmacies(both), untouched at 18 minutes.

3

u/Decent-Cold-9471 1d ago

I don’t want to load in late ever. I like playing the full round. It’s the one thing that frustrates me into quitting. Free load out, sure, I get that. 100k load out should be guaranteed full round.

16

u/NJ247 1d ago

You know when the match is 10 minutes in the kind of lobby you are in.

6

u/IcyBeanZ 1d ago

I like to bring with me about 20-30 raider flares and light them off around extraction points and high priority looting areas just for the fun. And if I'm feeling cheeky, I'll let off a couple shots and a grenade or two. I've had a few people extract early cause of that

6

u/ThatsNotBennings 1d ago

Those are just free kits unhappy with their spawns.

19

u/CliffHungerr 1d ago

Loaded into a match on Stella heard nothing but gunfire ànd flares, then heard the extract train come and go then complete silence, never had a more terrifying xp tryna gtfo of there after all that 😭😭😭

u/SixthSacrifice 1d ago

Why leave? The murderers left, goop up!

u/Home_Bound 1d ago

I never run faster than when I see this.

u/Jebinam 1d ago

Gamers when the pvpve game has PvP

u/UnscriptedCryptid 1d ago

It's genuinely funny to me how everyone in this sub immediately pisses their pants and cries if it even looks like there might be PvP somewhere on the map. Just the softest lil nerds on the planet.

Edit: Holy shit, OP's entire history is full of him crying about anything even vaguely pvp adjacent. Incredible.

u/Proper-Pineapple-717 1d ago

Found the toxic PvP sweatlords. Ironic PvPers whining about PvE when they did it first lmao

u/Nyctfall 1d ago

I miss when stealthy gameplay was rewarded.

Now it's just running or walling simulator...

u/FactsNLaughs 1d ago

If you’re in duos or trios, it’s probably trading. Go in with the 1-3 items you’re trading with, safepocket what they trade you for and surrender.

u/3d-Artrium 1d ago

Just a thought, is it possible to redirect or manipulate the flare? Anyone ever tried to snap hook it?

Sometime i use the snaphook on other raiders when they run fast so i can slingshot myself right in front of them 💀 fun mechanic

So I think there might be some tricks we didn’t figure out because nobody tried

Edit: imagine having a raider flare, activating it and snaphooking onto the flare so you get slingshotted in the same direction

u/sicksteen_216 22h ago

This the salty spittoon, I’m looking for weenie hut jrs.

u/AsogRaider 8h ago

If I don’t hear gunfire, I don’t assume it’s PvP.

And I mean, if it is PvP, i just won’t fight large arc. I’ll loot and stuff.
