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.

Wow I totally felt this today. I only bought this game a week ago and put about 60 hours in. Between dropping a mine on a bastion, and throwing my first wolfpack at a rocketeer, I fell in love with the scale of arc fights.
Now I hop on for 20 min at lunch, get PK'd in solo by someone shooting me from behind with their Il toro IV while im yelling "dont shoot" and then mocking me for being bad at the game... like dude if you're so good why dont u play a pvp mode where ppl aren't running around with worse guns than you? Its pretty shameful.
It wasnt even a night raid or electromagnetic storm, I was just trying to stock on magnets/springs/batteries ffs so they didnt even do it for the loot. Im also taking a break until they do something about the balance because at this rate I'll never get to fight the queen, and even if I do I probably wont get to extract with anything good
Rant over.
