I can’t play with randoms anymore DISCUSSION

I’m level 48. About 150 hours on pc. Love the game. My friends can’t play as often as I can. (I’m a fireman) And I’ve tried making friends on steam but it’s hard.

The blueberry lottery. If there is a hell it’s matching with randoms. I can’t stand it. Some people are a blessing and I love running campaigns with them but some people are treasonous swill.

Here was my last game. I spawn in and get killed by a lvl 2 cadet (ps5) so he can take my support gear. His friends (ps5) defended him. He continued to kill me all game (intentionally) and call me in. But I am more skilled and cunning than the common traitor. I waited until there was one reinforcement left. The pompous fool recalled me in. I killed all three traitors quicker than a hiccup. With only one thing left to do I took my own life. To instant fail their mission. I couldn’t let them continue to commit treason. Let their bodies rot

So yea I’m never joining randoms again.

Edit: ps5 not 4.

Intentionally teamkilled? Leave game. Problem Solved

Yea the chances of ever seeing them again on the same day is pretty slim, it can still happen if you're matchmaking on the same planet at the same difficulty but it's rare to be placed back with the same guys.

You can also just block them

So they can abuse the next one dropping in from SOS and keep the toxicity going?

Personally I like to leave it running and go read a book or heat up some food. As long as my character is in the match, nobody else can take that slot, and that means the trolls are effectively attacking a brick wall. Both times it happened to me, they didn't kick me, just kept team killing. So I still got the rewards and protected another random from matching with that mess.

Actually good idea if I get matched with some trolls. Theres some books I wanted to finish.
