So my suggestion is a crucial one I feel. The battlepass plain and simple does not offer enough time for the amount of exp needed to complete while I understand rewards are there for those who put in the work I’ve seen other games battlepass systems be much more kind. some points as to why I feel this is quite hard to do: 1: I have I work 5 days a week so I can’t spend 9 hours a day like some people grinding 50k+ exp a level and no the boosts don’t do much to help because the required exp rises with each level. 2: team lobby clearance groups in solo and duo modes make things way harder while technically a legit way to play it’s still frustrating. 3: I’ve started noticing players who already have battlepass completion instead hunting other players from the start of the game to douche them over out of spite. 4: Skill level- I find that while I’m somewhat skilled and can have amazing games I’m not on the level of clearing lobbies and consistently getting the drop. 5a: exp boosts should be more bang for your buck and really boost your exp gains even for standard materials salvaged 5b: on the same note having insurance boosted games should still award exp encouraging agrresive gameplay and more crown spending devs! 6: more exp for more challenging daily challenges. Killing 15 outlanders for a basic crate for 300exp? No way 7: more time in general would help say an extra week or so? I’m havig to average a level a day almost to keep up and I’ve been fairly active too. please either make more time for battlepasses a thing or lower the exp requirement or boost the exp boosters so you actually feel the difference, yes they give more as they stack but thata negated by the fact the requirements increase. Sorry for the ramble but it needed saying

It would be nice if there was a separate isolated game mode where revives could be a thing like a cpr device with a charge up time the same duration of time as the apex legends revive. Other than that I wouldn’t want a revive in the core game, I would however like to see body armor and helmets be a thing to avoid certain instant headshots. Less powerful weapons I mean snipers would always be instant kill with a headshot obvs

So the Latest update is here and I see while a small improvement was made to daily challenge exp gain they balance this by taking away barred house exp. I cracked the safe and died one game and no exp, still testing this as of writing this post but I gather we now have to leave safely with the barred house crack much like the drop to get exp which sucks balls 😤 maybe I have to loot it rather than crack and run again still testing but so far mixed feelings on this quick fix update of theirs. Can anyone verify what’s going on? Update: I do like that when you die no more team mate camera views a nice scenic environment view instead also can confirm barred house exp still drops but you now have to access the safe, can’t crack and run away gotta stick with the safe and open it and take at least something from it. Still any thoughts on the update as a whole?

So Instead of hitting unlock on the safe which used to give exp you now have to unlock and open up the safe and take something from it

I’ve had a few games of “boosting” with teams for gold crates and full packs of loot that’s how I’ve managed to get to level 37 so far but even then the grind is real but no money spent at least! Commented on a few places about how daily challenges should drop more exp than they do and the boosters being weightier. Who knows maybe next season will be better I’m saving all my food to get 250k next time 😂 only 50k this season

Once per encounter wouldn’t work based on the rng nature of spawn too many people would get screwed due to bad spawns however I do feel once per person could be viable

That’s if you get them to stagger too! Plenty of times I’ve shot folk and they DONT stagger yet I can get hit or worse one shot while shooting first at people

All the good guns are worthless now imo I’ve been one shot by vz’s,Thompson’s, shotguns and the list goes on basically all commons. Commons are dominating atm not worth even using adrs. Spray someone down with 100 rounds of adr? Nope not dead, oh single fire vz? Dead! 🤨

Made a post on this for the very same map and a few others but I know the feeling, I also exactly where you spawned. It’s the snow mountain top right corner isn’t it? We had that me and my buddy, 400% loot blue crate everyone died in the first minute to a massive battle minus the sweaty winners, no loot for anyone but them.

I made a post on this earlier this month regarding this exact issue it’s frustrating but there’s no way around it. My only suggestion would be to restart the game every few games and maybe that can clear away stale data but can’t say for sure if that would help.

I’ve had this many times while going prone around certain objects or landscapes in which my legs get trapped in the map textures really annoying I know

It’s just a game mechanic you’d soon miss it when you suddenly up and die without warning to radiation I admit though once your fully in it the noise should be somewhat reduced but that’s part of the nessesity I guess to get out. If your waiting around still when the radiation hits your going too slow. Prompt exits and aggression play a part at the end of encounters

So lately I’m noticing a spike in server instability and hard crashes especially before the game starts yet I still lose all my gear with or without insurance. Worse still I’m now noticing this mid game too. Was two kills in with some decent loot with an adr when the game has an aneurysm and makes the droning noise hard crash when I reloaded after just managing to kill someone who got the drop on me. Have also had games where I crash with like 2 seconds on the clock for exit and it makes me very salty this happens when I have good gear, it’s no wonder so many people enter games with commons these days. Anyone else having similar issues? Not just generic server issues but actual hard crashes to the home page?

So I just got done playing a match on fiske fabrikk for a gold and common crate drop. Swept by barred house and got the unlock and while that was working I hit the nearby comms to swap airdrop locations. Went back and amazingly safe wasn’t touched and nobody camping, fantastic! Decide to scrap the loot bar the contact bomb I find to use on the drop zone seeing as I have a heavy slow ass machine gun. Get the drop somehow despite 3 signal pulses marking my hidey spots and run for a far exit escape. Under fire I manage to leave just in time and what do I get? A purple fucking crate!!! Someone or multiple persons had backed out and thus reduced the value of the drop!! Twice! So I am fucking angry that all my work securing this win was hollowed out by This fakery! I would love to see a case where if someone boosts the game the game stays boosted and charges those crowns wether or not someone stays in the game or gets booted for server issues. I know these things happen and crashing or server glitches happen but if a game is boosted when this happens it should be honoured at that level of boost! Angry rant over!!😡

No I believe what happens is whatever the clip capacity of the weapon is that your using is filled with ammo from your bag upon a safe return to “reload” the weapon that’s what I’ve noticed anyway.

Challenge is broken sadly I’ve had the same issue was super overjoyed to do it then found out I’d not completed it, the new daily challenges are pretty naff

So lately I’m noticing some absolutely garbage spawns in which nearly the entire lobby will spawn in the same area of the map resulting in death matches a minute into gameplay. This I do not need to stress is cancerous on highly boosted encounters 🤔 another matter is the fact that even if the lobby manages to spawn a decent ways apart I still find myself placed next to at least one other person. Worst offenders are fjellkanten and fiske fabrikk in which I can turn ads and snipe someone after about 5-6 seconds of running to where I know there’s a spawn. The island on fiske you can turn right or left depending on the spawn and immediately kill someone and I have some hilarious clips of these kind of instant game overs. Fjellkanten I’ve have multiple game overs being sniped up on the hill before I even move if I don’t immediately start running for cover. Needs looking at devs! Also one final point sorry for the essay/rant people spawning inches from barred house versus those spawning opposite corner of the map away from all major interest points!!

Yeah gotta get a safe exit in order for that to give exp kinda stupid tbh I agree we need value for insurance I mean after all real life insurance looks after our valuables why doesn’t this? 🤔 upvote ^

Yup on the struggle bus there stopped using good guns and just run with commons until a hot fix or the 1.3 update comes

In terms of the weapon crafting a sorta workaround for that is to leave the game running or play some matches until whatever your crafting is done, for some reason closing the game cancels the build. Hope that helps 👍

I would both love and hate to see this in action to see what the science is behind that and how someone could manage that. I can understand someone spawning literally face pointed at the barred house but to do it before you even load in? Scum 😡

Yeah it’s harder to navigate the slower you are definitely avoid it. I run to the far exit then cross last second to the opposite side of the water whenever a drop is concerned

It happens on pretty much any map sometimes you can fix that by leaving the extraction area and re-entering it but even then it’s not 100% chance

My suggestion is a ship at the pier that appears daily or weekly with a few offers to trade in certain resources, food or crowns for useful items. Let’s say sometimes it may be 50 crowns on a rare drop to get a gold crate or 25 electronics for a 15 fuel 100 food for a blue weapon etc. 3/4 offers daily on the “supply tug boat” to swap out items for what you need. Sometimes free to play resources sometimes crowns can be spent and you show up each day to check the offers. Could be good! A chance to buy those elusive crates and it can earn BI money, win win! Thoughts?

I know it is possible to rotate your camera while stationary and I’ve also been able to 180 in situations like this. I think it’s more an issue with the game rather than a cheat. Again can’t see the video but it sounds like what I just mentioned here is what happened. Now however had this engagement taken place at range I’d more likely agree.
