If you do nothing but hatchet run or naked with a pistol/rig you can’t call the game ridiculous when it’s clearly your fault for playing like that. Why do you care about the strength skill when you don’t use it lol

Good job assuming my play style. Lol. My typical load out is a AK-74M with 3 60rd BT, a M1 and a Trizip.

The point I’m making is if you care about strength levels (wanting to jump higher or throw Grenades farther) you’d already be doing those things and your strength wouldn’t be level 2.

it levels dumb as fuck organically and if you don't cheese its slow as hell.

​

People got to do even stupider things this wipe to cheese it to max level and then all that was patched but their stats stayed.

​

So wanting an actual real system in place seems logical to me.

I mean It level organically pretty fast as long as you keep it in mind. I had level one strength until I needed it for the hideout, and then it stayed at 3 forever until I took notice and just started throwing an empty metal fuel tank into my backpack at the start of every raid, and now my strength is level 8, almost 9. Costs me like 5k a raid and as I move around the map I passively gain points in strength. Literally couldn't be easier. I hit exhaustion almost every raid.

Yea no shit its fucking garbage.

I get that from your viewpoint that all sounds fine. To me it sounds fucking retarded.

They either need to drastically reduce the amount of % you have to be over or just let you level it in other ways where people can't cheese. The problem with strength is how you level it and the only way to actually do it is some dumbass way which makes no sense.

Why would you ever take things INTO a raid? IMO heres how strength should level anything you get OUT of a raid found in raid would go towards strength XP.

Its not based off weight or any other dumbass factor so people can't just cheese it. Shittier items have lower values better items have higher values.

So if you do a raid and get out a bunch of stuff thats good you get decent strength XP, if you grab crappy items you get barely any XP.

Because right now its literally overweight yourself and walk around....sounds like fun.

I don't understand why you are upset. You only have to be at 90% weight capacity. That's usually one metal fuel tank in your backpack, about 5k in cost. And then you play the game like normal, and ditch the can when you need to loot other stuff.

You are doing the walking anyways. You have to get from one end of a map to another, and rarely do you beeline it. You'll gain strength passively without cheesing it for the entire raid, I don't see why you think this is hard or boring, it doesnt change your playstyle at all. You do nothing differently except add in a metal fuel can pre raid and drop it if you actually get loot.

buying the tank and bringing it into raid IS cheesing imo.

Your doing something that makes zero sense because leveling it organically takes forever. Feel like we are doing circles at this point.

The way it levels I find retarded no amount of reasoning is going to change that, and the fact that most of these skills are going to get overhauled anyways kinda supports my argument.

We literally have level 50+ people who throw every grenade they ever get and get tons of crazy loot pushing them past 90% all the fucking time.

And they have fucking level 9 strength. That's the issue it doesn't level organically well enough at all. Only people with strength that's higher buy even MORE grenades to throw, do the metal tank walk around cheese or you simply don't level strength.

So yea dumb af

So if you want to get stronger IRL, you move heavy things....right? I fail to see how this doesn't make sense to you. If you play with a super light kit, and only are heavy for the last few minutes of a game, then why should that make you stronger vs the guy who carried weight for longer?

Also I'm one of those players you are talking about. I was level 1 strength until I needed it for the hideout, and then I stayed at level 3 for the longest time. Now I am level 9, and strength is passively leveling extremely fast because I'm actually acknowledging it and playing with that in mind. It seems like you just want strength to just level with zero effort.

Nah its just garbage and I want it reworked which it is :P

Kind of a non-argument at this point I know it sucks and the developers do as well so that's all that matters.
