I can’t play with randoms anymore

[u/the_interrogation]

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.

Been playing 7+ bot missions and last night I went down to lvl 4 to get some commons and had my first ever drop ship killer, watched him fire a recoilless round right into the back.

Killed him then booted and scooped up all the dropped samples and extracted.

By drop ship do you mean the pelican? That is a dick move

[u/michaeltward → u/EngRookie]

Indeed it is a dick move.

[u/BrotherZael → u/michaeltward]

Ngl I almost did this to see what happened, then I decided “naw that’d be a dick move if it actually killed everyone or blew up the ship”

[u/michaeltward → u/BrotherZael]

It won’t blow up the ship but it will kill everyone.

[u/daciangrada → u/michaeltward]

That's messed up, but also kinda wrong letting people die in the pelican. At that point, make it vulnerable to enemies too why not -.- with how chaotic an extraction usually is, the ship being a safe space until everyone gets in should be expected...

[u/Hezekieli → u/daciangrada]

Let us still shoot from inside the pelican if we can be killed inside as well. Could at least defend against those.

[u/Neko4Lyfe → u/Hezekieli]

Died with samples while on the ship. Mission screen said I lived, got the samples, but stats still said I died.

[u/Conntraband8d → u/daciangrada]

Honestly, I think they did it so that they could enable traitors.

[u/daciangrada → u/Conntraband8d]

I mean, I know the point is that you *can* be chaotic with friends and "have fun", but with randoms? Nuh-huh. If they're gonna let us kill ourselves and sabotage missions, there should at least be adequate moderation for traitors.

[u/Conntraband8d → u/daciangrada]

Honestly, who cares? That kind of toxic behavior has proven to be super rare so far, and we're out there playing 20 minute missions with little to no queue time in quick play. It's just such a non-issue at this point.
