i just did it with randoms. Got lucky and survived more than one hour (two times!). Really fun game mode.

Later I played with my cousin, he had a lot of fun too. Is a good gamemode.

The gun is real solid against structures and, at least on PC where you can aim the plane with the mouse, it's pretty drat accurate.

Its great against structures, sure, but I'm used to straight up sniping people at much longer ranges in the little bird in Battlefield

Yeah, the mouse makes the plane turn slowly in whatever direction. It works pretty well once you figure it out

Ah, that yes, but I don't quite count as aiming. I thought "proper" mouse flight controls, as in War Thunder.

My nephew is taking an interest in PC gaming so I gave him my old Sidewinder keyboard seeing it works with this on Xbox now, had also given him a mouse too. I tried it when we visited the other day and he had changed the plane controls to non-inverted D: He even still had it set to hold the action button to open chests! And kids are supposed to be up on this poo poo.

Dope. My public games always self destruct after the minimum time required to obtain the latest reward. I hate the new slippery physics mechanic so playing no more than the minimum required time was acceptable this week.

To anyone playing Save the World and at least two Storm Shield Defenses into Twine Peaks, there's an Exotic Lead Survivor for a mission reward for the next few hours.

Ah okay. I have one for that slot and I was out of Alerts anyway because I was chasing Perk up for my scythes today

My Harvester wrecks everything now so I'm pretty much done for the classes I wanted to have. I don't see much point in making a Shotgun Raider set up since it's going to function so much like my Ranger except slower.

🚣RowboatMan: ❄️Freezing time🕰️ is an old P.I. 🥧trick...

I can't remember, is there a tutorial for this game on Switch? I've only logged in and tried to play twice now, but I'm super confused, not just with the overall gameplay (aside from shoot people), but also specifically the controls. Is there now solo 'gently caress around with no consequences, by yourself' mode?

Praise jesus. Can we get in the habit of just posting the patch notes here? Its blocked for me at work and I got gently caress all cell service in my office.

e: dug it up elsewhere. So the plane is basically useless now? Spread increased by 75%? Jesus it was already a full bore AK47. And you can build higher than you can fly? For the love of jeff.

I'm not sure if this is a joke but if you see someone building at the max build height, just fly into their platform and enjoy the free kill.

There is no tutorial. The preferred Switch control scheme is "Builder Pro" with motion controls on.

Yes, there is a creative mode where you get an hour to do whatever you want either alone or with people in a party

Suppressed Sniper Rifle added.

Available in Epic and Legendary variants.

Can be found from chests, floor loot, Vending Machines, and Supply Drops.

A single shot, scoped sniper rifle.

The suppressor makes for a quieter shot, trading stealth for power.

Deals 100/105 base damage


I like using sniper rifles in big team modes. Losing out on power in exchange for being a silent killer is no big deal if I plan properly.

It may not exactly be a Switch tutorial, but the first part of the pve questline has a handful of random building/editing tutorials. Creative has a few prebuilt deployables that show off the different tile edits as well

Yeah, no they nerfed planes down to useless for anything but travel. Can't even harass a single person because they can blow up your plane in seconds with even the most basic gun. No reason to even have a gun on it at this point.

I don't think they will be gone any time soon, they are in good place now. What will most likely happen is the eventual reduction in drop rate, and I wouldn't be surprised if they get a miniscule increase in horizontal velocity come season 8.

Not everyone has learning speed of a 40 year old American who plays 2 games per day. But sure, you are right and everyone else is wrong.
