The shelf that would have candy and gum in a walmart next to the cashier. If that makes sense.

This is probably a super dumb noob question, but why do I see streamers dropping their backpacks before engagements? Is it just to negate the weight penalty?

That and out of spite, so if they lose the other party won't get the loot. Mostly weight issues, though. Some larger backpacks also make your silouette larger.

Yeah it seems so, I'm at 10 STR at 31. I sort of like it that you need to work towards being able to have a large kit equipped AND carry poo poo ton of loot.

drat 10 strength used to be something you had to either poopsock or exploit for, that's cool. any cool jumps you've noticed you can make now?

Yeah. You’re more agile and can move silently. If you don’t have anything in your bag it doesn’t matter though

Also, if you win, you can quickly nab the dead guys backpack without even searching it and get the hell back to safety wherever you stashed the backpack to sort through everything.

They can't slowly put on cool shades when it's go time so they drop their backpacks instead

Not really as the change happens somewhat gradually. I would need to benchmark against a level 1 char to notice a difference. I mean, being 5% faster (or something) does make a difference in the long run, but haven't really noticed a huge difference.

For example, higher stamina is much more noticeable.

Has anyone else been encountering more and more "Anticheat connection failed" errors this wipe? I swear, almost every time I go out as a Scav it's like 10 minutes on the dot before I get one. I even switched ISPs for a bit to check if it was that but nope, still disconnects into game crashes all day.

On their twitter feed they've been announcing a lot of server maintenance lately, you can still raid but raid only last 10 minutes while it's ongoing.

You might just be hitting today maintenance times.

Nikita trying to de-meta the gun builds, but then immediately everyone turns to the MK47 as the obvious new meta gun, is deeply funny to me.

I don't understand how it even happens tbqh. Like he has said repeatedly that he doesn't want any given gun to be heads and shoulders above the rest, and they have all of the internal data about the theoretical mods people could install on a given weapon to get X recoil and Y ergo, and yet somehow they are constantly surprised that they somehow made yet another ~30 recoil lazer beam gun.

You could literally solve this problem in Excel, guys.

Odd take, I think we are going to have some OP weapons but they should expensive as gently caress and rare. The in-game economics needs serious adjustments.

I started running the RFB a lot last wipe and really liked it. I'm cheap and never did meta kits so that's probably why..

This is why even late into wipes I usually run OP-SKS when I'm not shotgunning, just with increasingly more expensive mods slapped on. There's something about either drilling someone's face or blowing out their legs from a distance with a few shots that's way more satisfying than listening to VRRT then watching them fall down before I have to spend fifteen seconds repacking mags.

Taken me too long to realise how lucrative loot runs on Shoreline are.

Theres a line to take through the Villa and the village which has about 4-5 caches, a dozen jackets and 4 safes. Almost never people there either.

Easily 500K+ per run

go in with cheap poo poo, lay low, play slow and opportunistically? you won't be grabbing poo poo from all the marked rooms, but even places like the pawn buildings have nice spawns. white pawn roof has a mil tech spawn i keep finding unlooted as a scav

People keep opening and looting the weapon cache in the garage and leaving the tech spawns. Idk what is up with that, but I love it.

People are just bad at looting. I've made literally tens of millions off of dorms jackets which often go untouched despite everything else being cleaned out.

Yeah that is good poo poo for me too. I've hit 20 now so I'm just primary scavving and man it rules when you find a unlooted area or pop a pmc and sell his poo poo.
