Beacons are one of the most useful things in the game. Always carry some with you so when you find a wreck or some massive hole you can't fully explore yet you won't lose the spot.

Do you have to order them off the Samsung site to get Far Cry 5?

Different biome's have different equipment to scan and discovery, two or three blueprints each. So visiting as many biomes as possible is a good idea.

Scanning rooms scan in a radius that can be upgraded. I wound up with 4 bases that were little more than scanning rooms and power generation, and 1 main base.

Beacons are cheap and useful, as are oxygen pumps. I wound up leaving dozens of oxygen pumps scattered around and even more built off of bases to pump oxygen into some of the smaller caves.

I took your advice and worked out how many materials I’d need for this and built the base. But forgot it needed a hatch to get into it...

Spent the next 15 minutes looking for some loving quartz so I could get into my new base.

Been enjoying vermintide 2 a lot. They did a good job improving on the first game. Definitely worth the $30 price point even with some small issues which can be annoying when they pop up every once in a while, but overall it's super satisfying to slay hordes of ratmen and chaos warriors.

Does a bear split in the woods near Zheleznogorsk?

HDI posted:

Ex-SOF dude Webster Slaughter's life took a turn for the worse when his wife was diagnosed with cancer while he was deployed as a civilian contractor. In fact, Webster's life has been difficult ever since he was caught in the Benghazi raid where he drove four children to safety, dodging RPG and small arms fire while killing 12 insurgents with his Nissan Tiida. Webster was the best driver around. His right foot made Midas's touch look like garbage.

Just when he was about to reach his nadir, he received a phone call from a shadowy organization that promised not only to provide experimental cancer research for his wife, but to give him riches beyond his wildest dreams.

While the details were sparse, he decided that he couldn't face his grief and agreed to the organization's signing contract.

To Webster's shock, he unknowingly agreed to a 100 person royal rumble to the death on a deserted island. To his luck, he saw three other friends who also unwittingly joined this ordeal as well. They were also some of the best drivers around.

Slaughter had an idea...

Instead of killing with guns or blades, they decided to team up and kill with speed. With only their wits and a heavy right foot could his team survive this gauntlet.

They are brothers in steel, gasoline, and burning rubber.

They are NITRO CIRCUS.

PUBG just released their official iOS/Android game, and its actually pretty good. I hate mobile games, but this plays pretty well. And it even runs and looks better than the Xbox version too.

And it’s free, with microtransactions for cosmetic stuff.

You may be able to, there's a skill you can unlock that adds another buddy for hire slot. This might only mean you can have both an animal and a human buddy at once though.

Does a bear split in the woods near Zheleznogorsk?


HDI posted:

Slaughter is in a smoking UAZ with his three bros (they don't die, which avoids a trope) approaching the smallest zone. Overlooking a field, they know that the final mercenary team is down there, waiting. As they survey their grim situation, Gus turns on the radio.

Smashmouth's All Star starts playing. "Just like Benghazi, fuckers" says Gus as he cranks it.

With a wry grin and nod, Slaughter smashes the gas right into the field. The final act of the NITRO CIRCUS.

This is who he's been since the day I met him. When we were in training, we in study time or something just a few days in. This was the first thing I'd heard him say while at work...he turns around to the only female in our class of 12 and says, "Do you ever just want to gut a hobo with an allen wrench and crawl inside for warmth?" Then he turned back around and got back to work.

GIP is a darker place without him.

So we circled the island to make sure they were gone while playing sea shanties. Then we got our characters so drunk that we hit a rock and were too drunk to repair the damage and sank our own ship.

For satisfactory performance while under the effects of hostile enemy alcohol.

Ingrid D. Rand, formerly Ian D. Rand, a SOF Marine and scout sniper who recently underwent gender reassignment surgery, tears through the field in her buggy. She sees Slaughter's smoking UAZ barreling towards the mercenaries, whom have opened fire on him.

"Witness me!"

The mercenaries shoot Slaughter out of his UAZ, but don't kill him. Seeking to deprive the enemy of satisfying their bloodlust, Ingrid (also known by her codename, "IDR") hits the NOS on her buggy. She misses Slaughter, but manages to splatter a mercenary across her windshield.

It's super dumb, but I can't stop myself. This is just kind of how I do things.
Ingrid's car comes to a clattering, sputtering stop, the vehicle and her body now riddled with enemy bullets.

Of the four original members of their squad, only one Reginald "Pooki" Bear remains. Knowing he is the sole survivor, up against a wounded but well armed team, he jumps into the back seat of Slaughter's eastern bloc off-roader with a desperate plan.

Sweat drips down his face as the stress and an angry determination mount, but he does not flinch.

The enemy squad searches the area, inching closer with every sour second.

As they approach his vehicle, Reginald ducks deeper into the cracked faux leather seats, a morbid hunger at the forefront of his mind.

Finally believing they've wiped out their adversaries, the enemy squad members quickly enter the battered SUV. As they start their well-earned drive to freedom, they hear a sharp "clink" and a quiet whisper from the back seat.

"Allahu Ackbar, motherfuckers."
