As long as I can remember it’s been that way. When you change location, changes the location and direction of the wave. From what I can guess, it’s to prevent trolls dropping the location right where the rad wave will start.

It was added to deter players abusing boosts and then leaving match to keep their crowns.

I was pro this update and even the radiation wave until a run on bridges. Radiation hits and I’m in the middle of the map... it’s a big map too. 1 second later I’m in the radiation zone. I went back for the crate but couldn’t make it extraction. I had an easy run to make but no time, that’s ridiculous. The crate only dropped moments ago.

Did another and wave seemed fine. Is it random?

Is it worth posting a support ticket to receive the loot and crate we would have gotten, but did not due to the games fault? I dealt with three other players and the crate was mine to grab without trouble in a match today, but I was moving down a mountain side and got stuck. I took a video of the loot in my inventory and the fact that it was a green crate, as well as showing it was there untouched up until the radiation waves consumed me. Gltiches I can handle, but missing out on a boosted crate over something like this makes me nervous to move anywhere in game in fear of being stuck.

Personally I have pulled away from spray and pray. It’s unreliable and my accuracy has slowly been improving. I play in single shot, I walk if not crawl most places, and when I hear foot steps I adjust my location to asssas the player. Lining up shots with patience and tagging headshots for quick and clean eliminations. The spray and pray players can’t rush you if they don’t know you’re there and have a bullet in their head.

Yes, on the discord it was confirmed this is only in the event you are responsible for their death. If another player kills your duo partner, your partners crate will be accessible to you.

If games are like life, then it’s never fair. I’m not sure what World you live in, but this is fantasy. They are not doing anything people would not do in real life. Safety in numbers is a catchy phrase because it’s a legitimate strategy. If you were in this world, you would make alliances with others for a better chance of survival and you would have to deal with rationing your gear and loot with others just as they end up having to. Making this fair argument in comparison to life is ridiculous. We don’t respawn in the real World. I do not team in this game because I enjoy the challenge, but don’t fault the scrubs who need to do it to have a chance. I would certainly find alliances in real life though.

It’s hit and miss for duos. Lots of random team ups will bring a team kill out. Either they will try at the beginning, wait for you to loot the safe or crate, or they’ll try to kill you on the way to extract after they’re sure everyone else is gone. You can never trust anyone in random these days. Its not not even worth the white crate to join random duos, I’ll get more crates just running solo.

This is a discussion channel, not a quasi rant platform.

As an adult gamer, I have limited time to access the game via xbox, which results in my daily routine being to quickly collect all my resources and try to rush my challenges before reset most days. I am wondering if there are any plans to implement a companion app that allows us access to our account to collect resources, review challenges, queue crafting projects, and maybe even review the market. It would be great to see what my daily challenges are in the morning to know what I need to plan for in the evening. Maybe this could provide a social atmosphere too for finding people to duo with?

They do, it’s just a small team with a huge audience. I have seen a few developers out here addressing feedback and with a small task force, fixing these issues with a confident fix takes time. I am sure they are trying to identify the causes at the code level for this issue, among many other game breaking issues, and testing the fixes before launching them. It also appears that they don’t install hot fixes often, so we will have to hope for all out wishes in the next mainline update. Game crashes are at the top of the list imo

I see your point, I think being able to drop it opposed to destroying it would be a happy medium. In your example, being able to drop it would only further improve your success of a safe exit as they would be drawn to the crate. The crate is already a beacon to trap players, so dropping it to set up a trap again is really no different then it’s current state. Yes, players could set the trap where they want but anyone daring to risk that trap deserves whatever fate they’re served for taking the risk.

Here is a perfect example of toxic behavior that results from this option. The player got themselves stuck (an issue of its own that needs fixed) and decided to destroy this very well boosted crate to spite any other players on the map for their misfortune. As a result, a good amount of crowns were wasted and toxic misfortune was passed along to all players in the encounter. We are seeing this more and more, and it feels like bringing light to it has only educated more trolls that it’s an option. The game would benefit from this being addressed.

It’s been clarified that solo players are dumped into a Duos match when the duo queue doesn’t meet minimum player requirements. That’s why the crate has two boxes.

I am surprised you would feel this way given other viewpoints. Its my view that if a player desires to pick up the crate, they should accept the risks associated with it. In your instance, I may have gone with an exit toward radiation or taken my chances at the exit. I’ve yet to meet an exit camper that bested me when I knew to expect them, but would have done the same as you. I would have walked toward the first to pull the 2nd from their spot and then made a break for the exposed camper. I would support the ability to drop the crate over destroying it though. At least in your event, you could have dropped it to free yourself of the burden without eliminating others opportunity for the reward. This ‘if I can’t have it, nobody can’ mindset is childish.

I think it’s fine how it is, it’s made combat more fair and challenging. We used to have people sprint to the crate and sprint to exit, now crate runners have to be more tactical because other players can catch up more easily now. Something most do not seem to know is that your running and stamina are much more efficient if you sheath your weapon. Having it drawn drains you faster and slows down the regeneration of stamina. Knowing this helps.

I could see Quads playing with randoms ending like the season 2 of Peaky Blinders with the Redhand fellows if it offered 4 crates lol

Yup, this. It’s great that they’re friendly, it’s great they socialize. Is it a pain when you get outnumbered? Sure! Does it feel like they’re not playing a match the way it was intended? Sure! I personally won’t team or join these communities that organize boosted matches and map clearing, strictly on the fact that it strips the game of challenge and fun. I want to struggle to get the rare crates, I want the threat of conflict and turmoil. I love the rush when I am corners or outnumbered and waste the group. If they manage to get me, then it’s a GG and I queue another match. It’s a free game and we all have the freedom to play how we want. Deciding how others should play is not something you should really concern yourself with, unless it is actual cheating like an aim bot or teleporting or something. Too much trouble on your heart to worry about how others need a handicap.

It’s likely you had a plan in that spot, and got the plan from another crate. It happens.

I did 15 random duo today for a challenge and experienced some great matches, but near the end ran into the team killer players. Right out of the gate, they started shooting at me for my guns. Some marked the map acting like they wanted to go somewhere. I returned fire to defend myself but then I get the team killer mark. This is a bit unfair, maybe there is a way that if you receive damage from your teammate it can register that and then you don’t get a mark killing them as it would be seen as self defense. I had to spend a whole match looking like the team killer when I wasn’t the real douchebag there and then all these kids were salty when they tried to avenge the other player and I dig them graves.

With the updates to shotguns accuracy and spread, can the challenge times be increased. The pigeon II especially was what seems designed for the preexisting spread getting 2 in 1 shots, but this is all but impossible now.

I experience this as well. I thought I had looted them before 1.1 but not confident about that.

Seems like a plausible reason, but inconsistent. I have nabbed the crate carrier many times to find full inventory with the crate, but no ammo for equipped guns. Always possible they expensed it all, needs tested!

They’re probably destroying it.
