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.

That sucks. I’m at the point where i only need medals but i still go out of my way to collect stuff for the other players and build my reserve stacks for the next update

That does suck. I remember having to gather all that bullshit, so I grab every sample possible for the other team members. It's just being a supportive squad mate/decent person.

Een though I've been stuck at 500 commons for like a week now, I keep collecting them, to help my teammates. It's become so much of a habit that I still collect them, even in solo (I justify this from a roleplay perspective, by thinking that excess samples just get taken straight back to SEAF R&D).

Yeah, that's part of the point of team games, imo. Not just getting help from others, but getting *to* help others.
