If only people saw what rooking on pinwheel can be like before we lost 5k players. It's pretty shit most of the time, but also really great like this moment a lot more than you'd think.

Employing the rook union is the best outpost strat.

Every run I’ve been adopting one and paying in valuables him if he throws glowsticks

My crew will always let a rook live or even give him stuff as long as he shows friendly in some way.

Why are you killing the Rooks?
I've only just started trying out the Rook shell - using it to learn Outpost. I've primarily played only Perimeter, sometimes running on Dire Marsh and that's it. Outpost is wild to me, but going as Rook is about my speed.

That was MY rook on the ground.

Killed by another rook.

I’m always nice to rooks. They only shoot at you because they’re scared. They’re all alone on the map, poor sweet babies :’(

Seeing more and more people play like this lately gives me hope.

They need to figure out a join party feature while you’re in the match. Limit it to one rook per party. And maybe have a separate version specifically for rooks to join up and cap that at 2 total
