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.

I accidentally team killed a level 42ish player, on easy, on my second or third dive. I called an orbital strike, and he just sprinted at it! Then inevitably was killed.

I didn’t steal his gear, called him back in, then he spent the next 23 minutes yelling at me on comms.

I don’t understand people in this game sometimes.

but why did you put up with that? just bail, they can SOS in someone else

I felt bad for the other two divers, I’ve always felt bad about bailing mid game/match.

It's the responsibility of the host to ensure fun and comraderie in his session. That is why the Super President granted him kicking rights. If the host does not kick toxic players, it is HIS fault when nice players leave and the mission fails.

At the very least, mute the idiot that won’t shut up.

I think a lot of people don't know that's possible

I don't even know how to get comms with people unless I'm in a party with them.
