Was it in the last day or two? I've had a few desync kills caused by lovely servers. They have been acting up for me recently in the last few days.

Assuming you're talking about something like this: I was prone on first floor of white pawn, dumped 20 rounds into someone as he walked past and he made it up to second floor before he died.

Not really? It's been like i said. I run over to where they were and i hear sounds of them taking damage like running on barbed wire directly in front of me, and the sound of them dying, but it says i didn't get a kill in post-game and i can't find their body. It's happened multiple times is why i think it may be a bug, idk

I've definitely never experienced that. Maybe they did die to desync and their body just happens to be in a bush...?

Hey guys, Illusive(on Discord) here, wanna know how to get 5.45 ammo for practically free?


Just picked up 4 stacks for 32k (~130r / round), thanks.

If they bleed out, do I get a kill in post game?

Yeah, I had that happen to me once. Got the drop on two guys right at the start of a raid. I hit the first one a couple of times and he ran off, then I killed his buddy. I looked around for the first guy but couldn't find him so carried on. I didn't get into any other fights during the raid and in the post game screen I had 2 kills, 6 minutes apart.

Anyone get a drop from a twitch stream yet? Wanting to know if they're giving out good stuff like red rebels and cases or will it just be a pack of cigarettes.

I got a decently modded glock and 5 weapon parts. I'll probably leave my stream on overnight each night for the next week or so but not bother beyond that.

Silenced srimp and 3 useless corrugated hoses. TBH I hope the vast majority of the drops for everyone is stuff like that instead of slicks and airframes and REAP-IRs. I’m a little confused about extending the early game with FIR flea vs. two weeks of drops 10 days into a fresh wipe, but I guess BSG gonna BSG.

Guess I better go get my <25m mosin kills fast while LPS still works.

I got 8 Wires, a Ripstop and a Moonshine so far. The wires are definitely going to be useful as I'm in the middle of upgrading my hideout so I very much welcome more barter items like that coming my way. I imagine everyone will get something relatively valuable at some point over the next week and a half of drops.

A cheeky trick, when I spawn closest to dorms I’ll haul rear end and hide in the bathroom across from the marked room. Usually someone comes along a few seconds after and doesn’t bother to check since they’re frantically fumbling with their keys. Free marked room loot!

So the cursed and marked thing for hatchlings? I guess that's active, because we were doing woods at night as a group and one guy was going in with just his hatchet. Each time we got swarmed by scavs, we were hiding in the bunkers and scavs kept coming down the stairs directly into our bullets.

Congrats, you've just created a new technique for farming the gently caress out of a map, not to mention making a mess of Jager's quests a snap.

Leaving the stream open seems like a waste of electricity with how rare the drops are and how low quality they are.

I've been receiving a drop at about 1 every 3 hours. Common items with a few modified pistols and a Mosin sniper.

I got a lion statue, smoke grenades, and an AK-74n tricked out. Nothing amazing but solid money for just leaving a browser tab open. Whoever was complaining about corrugated hoses that's a good drop since they're expensive right now in the flea market and needed for hideout upgrades.

Just had a run in interchange with my buddy where we completely desynced, couldn’t see each other and couldn’t see scabs except some frozen ones, but could interact with the map and open doors for each other. Great way to get that oli logistics manifest and hit Emercom medical lol with only a few strays from random invisible scavs to worry about

Yeah I've heard this is apparently a relatively common glitch, so anybody streaming for 3+ hours without a drop should do this. I left a couple streams on while I went to work yesterday and came home to a modded AK, a helmet, and a set of 3 smoke grenades. I know only one stream at a time gives drops but I figured it would cover my rear end if any streams stopped.

I also believe if you mute it on the Twitch video player that also cancels it, could be urban legend but better just to mute the browser tab instead to be safe.

That is what I did as well. Been getting 1 drop every 3 hours so far.

Restart the game and check for updates if you haven't in a while, there was a client update today and it will not inform you about this in any way if the game is already launched and it will mostly (probably?) work fine (probably?) except for things like the game freezing for 30 seconds when you open your inventory. Why is the game like this
