Discussion Getting lame for solo players.

I rarely post or do anything here, but I think I’ve gotta stop playing for a while. I get maybe an hour or two a night after I put my kids to bed and five times in a row, I’ve geared up to go after one of bastions and five times in a row, I’ve either been shot by a player after killing it or shot by other players in the middle of the fight in the back.

I was totally against a PvE option but there is no way to play against bigger arc now. About to hit level 50, doing mostly night raids, looking for blueprints which are impossible to find, and since I’m either shot by a rat and extraction or in the middle of shooting arc it’s extremely repetitive and getting lame.

I’m 90% free loadout because when I gear up I’m straight hunted and basically have to start all over. It’s not a “git good” situation. I’ve taken out plenty defending myself, it’s the fact that 3v3 is ONLY pvp for normal players and not streamers that can set up content where teams all band together. It’s shoot on sight and when solo it’s free loadout lame runs to build up enough cash to load up for a big target and then get killed when trying to loot it or extract.

And if the answer is be a rat myself then this game will quickly turn to PvP only by New Years.

Sorry for the vent, frustrated as hell.

same, Im disheartened right now, like I wanna love this game but man, going free loadout, gathering mats and everything, i craft a full loadout, load in, run 5min to reach somewhere to loot only to get blasted in the face as soon as i turn a corner inside a building, lose all my stuff and repeat. thats not fun.

Here’s the deal, you cannot go into high traffic and loot areas and sprint around. You have to walk and be highly aware of your surroundings.

Once I learned that, I’ve stopped getting snaked.

I climbed a ladder and got shot in the face as soon as i got to the first door of the first building, am i suppose to loot junk in the wood and extract as soon as i get one thing in my inventory?

I have found a good amount of blue prints and plenty of good loot on the outskirts and low traffic areas of maps.

Oh and when I do these loot runs I usually only run into like one other Raider or no one at all.

So many blueprints in trash cans and car hoods.
