what's the point of stationary weapons? Is that like the easiest way to die?

pretty much yes but a) they're fun b) they're a potential source of firepower for rats/scavs

and while the machine guns are kind of underwhelming given the downsides, the AGS is absolutely potent enough to be worth using under certain circumstances despite the associated risks

Even the big streamers will use the AGS on Reserve as it's often a good way to take out Gluhar and his bodyguards. (Does anyone else call him Glucose, or just Anthony Kongphan?)

Yesterday Nikita talked for like 10 minutes on a podcast about 12.6. It's done, but is riddled with bugs and they are working on fixing them all before it's released (how that is called done, i'll never know, but whatever).

It's kind of an alpha level of done, as development goes. The parts they want to add/fix this patch are in there and generally working, now they need to deal with the holes and exceptions.

Yesterday I got killed in the first couple of minutes when I loaded in late to Shoreline. I got killed by a person with TTV in the name and I obviously had to check it out. Unlike most people with TTV in the name, this person was actually live.

While it was a guy from a 5-man squad (technically a 6-man squad, but i'll get into that), all running Thermals, the person who got the killing blow had a really interesting setup. Turns out, this guy is a paraplegic.Quadriplegic? He had a stroke and then an aneurysm and something like none of his body works. So how he plays is his assistant uses the keyboard for movement while he plays with an eyetracker and facial movements. Where he looks, he aims. By making different gestures with his face, he can shoot, ADS, etc. It was incredibly cool and the dude had killer aim. If I can remember the channel name, i'll link it. His assistant was talking with chat and they all seemed like a friendly bunch. The assistant basically does everything but aim and push the fire button.

Just makes you think about who is playing this game and how they are playing. Dude even had a Kappa container, so definitely puts in work.

There used to be a goon in EVE Online that was a paraplegic. It was amazing looking at his setup.

I got a s i c k nasty double kill on a trio before dying to their friend. It *melts* players so if they're surprised it's an instant win.

So recently I've been just playing in the offline mode. One thing I struggle with in this game is target identification. I don't know why but I struggle SO bad with seeing people to shoot. So in offline mode I just up the scav count put on the bosses and go at it. I feel like my reaction time is improving a little and I am getting practice with the expensive guns.

The raiders are not on every map, they were on customs and shoreline but not on interchange or reserve.

But really this is perfect for someone with poo poo gear, every body is overflowing with upgrades. Also Xp for killing raiders is great, I got 12k for 4 kills on shoreline.

I fear the p scavs more than players at this point. They have nothing to lose and it's obscenely easy for them to yoink upgrades after spawning.

Or death.

Meaning anything you shove in your Secured before you die will not be found in raid and unsellable. Not a 100% fix for hatchlings, but certainly a deterrent.

Since it's my first wipe, anyone have advice on the best way to have fun and/or progress at the start of the wipe? I've heard that servers might be overloaded, which I'm expecting, but assuming I get to play, is there anything in particular I should be doing other than mainlining quests? I'm guessing FiR keys required for quests are going to be very valuable, since if anyone ever takes one with them into a raid you can't sell it anymore.

Sounds like a lot of good changes.

We will have to wait and see what the quests look like, but I’m pretty eager to see how the economy and flea market look after these updates.

They also increased the experience required for levels 1-20, so that will prolong the early wipe a bit.

Looks like there's been some adjustments to the flea market stuff. Weapons don't have to be found in raid to sell, like before, but everything else is still found in raid only to sell on flea. Runthroughs take found in raid off any items brought back, and items in your secure lose found in raid if you die.

600 XP OR 10+ minutes spent inraid will help you avoid a runthrough, now. That's a very nice change.

Lastly, thermals won't work through glass now. That ought to be very interesting.
