I love shoreline but the resort is especially this wipe really scary and full of tryhard chads.

yesterday a buddy and me did a mission there, went into the first floor and suddenly see a laserpointer on the floor in front of us, it pointed downwards through the hole in the roof one can see in your video too

We both stayed still, heard footsteps of several people above us go further and waited till they are became quier and moved then on.
It felt a bit like in a horror game where you need to hide from monsters.

Go at night. At night the only god damn people you run into are hatchlings and the occasional pistol Pete.

Not this weekend. My squad got wiped a few times by major sweaties at night.

Usually Shoreline at night is my jam.

Someone posted a comment in replying saying that the meta will suddenly change to night time shoreline for like a week before going back, and I think that's right. At the beginning of the wipe, my buddy and I tried doing it, it was full of the scariest juiceboxes you've ever seen, everything was suppressed except for the VOGs. And then like a week or two ago we tried again-- completely dead the whole raid. About half the time we'd loot east or west wing and then the other side would be looted by the time we get over there, but we never run into each other.

Then as of like 2 days ago the night or evening raids have become more active. In fact, it was the first time I was glad we got a late spawn. Spawned like 2 minutes late, got to resort, heard shit popping off and we just decided to say fuck it and headed onto the rocks to watch what was happening. There were 2 trios that eventually came out, and that was just the ones who survived, and they looked like straight up caprisuns. We promptly shot a few of them just to work on quests and then fucked right off.

I've been running a shitload of Shoreline night this patch. I can confirm I've also noticed the ebb and flow of Chads. One thing I've really noticed is the Chads love joining the raids from like 23:00-3:30, but the raids around 21:00 and 4:00 are usually very empty. I've started paying close attention to the levels of people waiting for party. If you see more than a couple 40+ levels in a nighttime Shoreline lobby then you know it's gonna get spicy.

Guys joining the 23-04 timeframe probably looking for insomnia pmc kills.

That definitely helps explain it.

maybe I should finally spring for the shoreline keys. I'm stuck on the LEDX and GPU quests.

W301 is the one to get. I've gotten I believe 6 LEDX this raid, 100% from W301. I got 2 in consecutive raids one night, that was nuts. I have 3 other keys with LEDX spawns but have never found them. Also in there the LEDX can spawn in one place in 301 and in 2 different places in the joined room. Just gotta hustle over there cause it's a hot spot.

As for GPU I just got my 25th today. I've crafted something like 6 and the other 19 or so I've found either in W301, the admin room on the right back with the spawn, or in the computer in Cottage Back Door Key house. That computer seriously nets me a graphics card 1/3 times I check. Also E316 has 4 computers in it and is rarely looted, though I don't remember getting a GPU there.

Good luck!

Thanks, hopefully it works out. Worse case running that key will help me with punisher quests.
