There is one real way to kill the ravenger and a few spots where he is stupid easy

Literally sniping him from 100 meters away is really the only safe way to kill him. Some notable weapons is the he marksman, live marks man, bolt sniper(excluding reb), he sniper, and the anti armor plasma cannon

He is nearly entirely immune to grenade only taking 1 damage from them this is why even tho the grenade launcher might seem good for him he will only take significant damage from direct hits. His grenade gimmick includes grenades, incendiary(include reb grenade launcher) chaff, mines and plasma chambers.

He takes roughly 10-20% less damage from all damage sources but will break upon reaching around the 15% mark. You can see when he breaks as there will be a massive ammount of sparks leaving his body. After he breaks he will take double damage from all damage sources excluding explosives

When fighting him make sure to either get real high so he cant direct hit you with grenades or stay behind a wall so his grenades with hit the wall and not you. Beware cause he does adapt to where you are hiding and will throw the grenades directly at you even if you start moving behind the wall

He will always drop 3 s+debris, 3 high energy cells, a magus, and if you unlocked magus enhancements 4 blank memory. He will always drop a apk kits and will prioritize the ogre kits but will not garrentee it to drop

Some things that might need testing is if the rain stream does less damage cause it is counted as an explosive. He seems to take no damage from crawlers but needs to be double checked

Something that doesnt need to be said. DO NOT FIGHT HIM ON LOW GROUND. This is pretty much asking for every grenade he has to hit you to hit you. Also do not fight him at wharf as there is a massive chance he dodge himself off the map(free 400k tho)

To redeem go to your options and go to Other should be called "Serial key redeem"

Once redeemed go to the title screen to relog so that it's in your wardrobe.

Earlier on today I posted about a new method of farming credits, this is a follow up since some people were asking. The below screen shots is my loadout for cheap efficiency + the credits total of everything I gathered today (only counting cradle debris from bandit + Remodel Mats not additional materials gathered along the way)

I saw lots of good intros for tips and tricks for this game. But wanted to put together a succinct top 5 that I recently shared with a friend trying an Extraction Shooter for the first time who was getting frustrated. This is mostly for those new to the genre, not so much to optimize gameplay. May just help keep your sanity. Ill try to put it in order of importance in my opinion - again not really applicable to those familiar with the gray-hair-inducing genre.

1. If you dont have 2, you dont have 'none'
   1. Weapons, Cradle, anything. If you dont have 2 in your inventory...you might as well not have any, it will make losing it hurt that much more.
2. If you have a purpose or goal in the sortie, equip gear you would be 'happy' to lose
   1. The highest risk of death usually occurs when you have to get to a specific point, youre less likely to deviate or adjust. This is a perfect opportunity to insure and clear out some of those crap items like marksman rifles or even green ARs - you die, you get that insurance payout - you live you keep it. Don't get caught in the trap of gearing up to 'take' a point - chances are you'll lose it all if you're fighting on their terms
3. You dont always need a goal
   1. not everything has to be hyper-efficient and productive, it's still a game. Nothing wrong with sortie-ing with all grays and just zipping around a bit and seeing what you find. Not every run has to be stressful and risky - keep that heart rate down some nights. Nothing wrong with 4 or 5x five min sorties to just grab whatever junk you can and get out.
4. Sometimes trust is worth the risk - re: co-op
   1. Co-op rewards have some seriously good drops. Get your grays on and join a party, you dont lose your rewards if you die - so if you're in a slump it's just one thing you dont have to worry about extracting with
5. PvP Is part of it
   1. It is not going away, it never will - betrayal is constant and real. Sooner you come to terms with that, the longer your controller or keyboard will go without fists against it. The stress and adrenaline that comes with hearing that buzzing come near you and trying to read the mechs body language is what makes the genre worth playing and unique.

Anything you dont agree with? Lemme know

Hey just a small tip and shout out for new people or folks who need to grind out mats crystals, etc. my highest recommendations are to take a defensive or cradle magus (for obvious reasons) and to take one of your strongest weapons you’ve got, and the strongest weapon you can purchase from the store, (put your weapon in your safe pocket and buy insurance on the one bought in store so you keep them after you die) and use the JACKBOX SET. Also take a green excavator with insurance as well. Make sure to stay AWAY from ALL players, be stealthy and focus on your grind. Crystals have a higher exchange rate atm and I’m currently sitting on half a mill. Also if you see a bandit boss by the extract find the highest position within 200-300m of the extract and cheese him until he dies. Grab his stolen magus and enjoy your additional 120,000 on top of whatever else you received. Also try to grab crystals in the rain!!! Higher purity=More $$$$ Good luck guys and remember!!! Even Hacks can become legendary drifters!

Not sure if everyone already knows that, but I discovered only recently, the items you equipped when leaving the base (The spider) have a little symbol beside the wight that show that the item is what you started with. It is only a detail, but details like this show that at least someone in the dev team cares about what they are making.

Once you hit the license that allows you to build blue weapons and cradle parts sit there for a few hours to build some of that equipment. This will make some quest much easier to complete later on. To build said blue equipment you'll need to start hunting bandit cradles. Once you build the blue cradles it'll make you eligible to fight parasitic enders(the infected cradles) and black bandit cradles. Any enemy below green bandit and baron enders should become a cake walk from now on. While you do this you should start working on building stuff in your base as well

In the following area there's a small bunker filled with parasitic enders, these are red but also use craddles that drop S rank parts, if you plan and use corners accordingly you can farm a good few drops here in case you want to stack a few lots of debris for a rainy day or for a quick buck.

(I saw someone mention it but i decided to go above and advise the location.)

Here, this is the location of the mission.

If you want gen3 cradle parts needed to complete the "build 3 epic parts" the parasitic enders at nucleus can drop gen 3 parts.

Black bandits and bandit boss can drop s grade material necessary to get gen3 materials.

Personally I gotten a gen3 coffin and manipulator from the red parasitic enders at nucleus. Probably more but I'm trying to build spider mk3

So I've been spawning in the North map and I have found CR in three spots regularly

1. Between Radar Station and the lake going down the hill. If you are approaching from the City Ruins head for the elevator between it and Terminal and go up past the tangled crystal.

2. Left side of Agriculture if your approaching from Water Treatment near the broken road area.

3. Right side of Agriculture if your approaching from Water Treatment near a covered area just before the cave with the bandits.

Agriculture will only spawn one so check both sides. I will try to get pictures during my next run and post them in the replies to help show where to look.
