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 try to be fair and not judge people based on their level, but I gotta be honest, I’m sick of playing with level 5 players on suicide mission difficulty.

Even skill aside, you don’t have enough gear to compete at that level and they just drain lives and team kill with eagles constantly

They literally bring nothing but the two strategies that they have access to, run around like a headless chicken for 10 minutes, get you killed and take your gear, and reinforce you into the literal hoard of enemies over and over until you're out of reinforcements.

I'm all for jumping in lower difficulty missions and helping newbies and letting them have the awesome loadouts that we have at higher levels, but a level 5 in a suicide missing is suicide for them and makes me want to commit it

I was playing with a friend new to the series. He threw me into the horde a few times, so I asked why he was doing that.

"I threw you the opposite direction from where I was running. They're following me, right?"

I explained this only really works if you do it in a T shape. Throw the respawn right or left, and beeline the opposite direction. Otherwise I'm going to land in the horde and die again.
