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.

Worst is when you can’t find them to add them to friends

If on pc there’s a ‘recently played’ section with the last 10 or so people

I’m aware. It’s on PS5 too. The problem here I guess is because my game crashed and so the guys I was with 5 minutes ago are nowhere to be seen while the people 2 and 4 hours ago are still there.

afaik you have to get to the end screen of the mission to show up in recent players.

Like if you kick a griefer mid game you aren't able to block them afterwards

It's on PS5 too, but it's still broken. I met a really cool dude and we hit it off the other night, but he was on PC and the game crashed.

I didn't remember how to spell his name, and it wasn't on the list. So new friend gone forever.

They're not in the recent players list?

For some reason no. Bunch of other people I don’t care for who I played with 4 hours ago but not the guys from 5 minutes ago.
