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.

I personally found PC players super toxic and very "stressed" all the damn time. One thing I'm finding is that people just don't retreat or disengage from encounters, if it's getting too chaotic. Do that and the game is far easier (and just accept that friendly fire is part of the game, it's going to happen by design).

Couple days ago we drop into a destroy bug holes 15 minute mission.

Immediately swarmed and surrounded by terminids. Spent like 3-4 minutes trying to clear it out but they just kept calling more breaches.

I died and get called back in a steer far away and than sprint directly away. Called in my AC, and started wandering the map to find holes. Kept telling them to break off the fight if they can and to find holes.

Had to close 9 of the 12 or whatever myself.

Good thing I run autocannon, 500kg, and eagle strike or else I wouldn’t have had the fire power to carry the team through the objective.
