How long would Sundowner last if he was sent to Dite?

Not long in the dust, and I think he'll run out of energy eventually.

So since the Bullfrog is the epic shotgun I assume the epic assault rifle is gonna be the G-44

UN-ARC when?

the un-arc could be the epic 7.62 assault rifle, they've never given a shit about case length differences between nato and russian rounds of the same caliber

You're funny

what was up with the switch to fictional guns anyway

the frankenguns you could make by slapping parts of multiple guns together probably wouldn't have flied with licensed weapons

I doubt Kojima, the guy who wrote a series about anti nukes and war, wants to pay Barretta to use a model of their .50 cal in his game.

i'd believe that. kinda like burnout using fictional cars since manufacturers weren't always down with having their products all torn up and mangled on screen

i dunno if i buy that given how much guns are glorified and even fetishized in previous games, even by shooter standards

Why the fuck they steal color rarity system and then change Legendary and Epic places? Just to confuse people?
They just want us to suffer don't they?

not everything goes by the blizzard rarity scale

Ignore the names, just look at the colour instead

Need my tracer famas with bandana in every game damn it.

That's what I do. I just call them blues, purples, oranges.

tfw no xm8
tfw they stopped testing IRL because it melted the magazines.

it was too powerful for us

not the magazines, the handguard was what melted on them

desu individual flaws aside it was ultimately killed for the same reason as the OICW program it grew out of, too much money for too little improvement on existing stockpiles to be viable on a large scale

>tfw the cold war ended just in time to kill the ACR program
we could've been living in the caseless flechette timeline by now

Are perks still working even if not unlocked?
Electric stick turn out much worse that hi-machete, on paper it's should be better but it's just doesn't kill zombies as efficient as machete does.
I think that because of vulnerable parts perk that kill zombies.

Attached: 636027023107570638.jpg (680x404, 44K)

they still are, at least on armor

I don’t think so. I have a locked arrow saver perk that has yet to save any arrows.

I just use the electric stick to taze wanderers so I can backstab them. Works great if you're a medic and you have the healing backstab.

it had to return to oceans

That's why they're not a thing? I miss the Comanche.

>24 hour break between waves on base dig
Jesus fucking christ i wake up in the middle of the night and decide to fuck around with base dig and i reorganize my whole base and survive a dig and now i need to be up again this time tomorrow night or my shit will get wrecked while i'm not even fucking playing??

???? WHY IS ????????????????

>the guy who wrote a series about anti nukes and war, wants to pay Barretta to use a model of their .50 cal in his game

If a game like Payday can get away with having hundreds of guns in a game about felons committing every crime imaginable while slaughtering armies of cops and mercenaries, simply by changing names and a few minor details then there is no reason Kojima couldn't do the same.

Anyone have that Arnold Schwarzenegger gif where he is gearing up with all his guns and shit? I keep finding short versions.

Clock also moves every time you doing defense because defense takes time. You have to set alarm or you could lose base. It's pretty terrible mechanic, it was even worse with 12h, because you know, people have to sleep and stuff.

Attached: 1463456324000.jpg (960x960, 187K)

does anyone have the version with aniki instead of arnold?

Took 5 second in google.

Attached: gip333hy.gif (425x228, 1.12M)

I literally have not manually defended a single dig other than the tutorial. 12h was fine for the first dig and dig 2 onwards have always had a 24 hour timer.

Well my base is not efficient for defense because it's has trees and other cosmetic staff that take maximum capacity. It's impossible for me to auto defend dig plan 6 that i'm doing right now.

Attached: 591925062.jpg (594x396, 139K)

Good thing doing dig 6 is likely pointless until the next major patch.

Gave twenty manuals to all the story characters, didn't up their teams from B to A. If they're not going to give us better than C's for recruits then I'm not sure how S is obtainable. Maybe just by ignoring certain teams, or by drowning the recruits in manuals.

They said they added things to dig 5 and 6 this patch but i didn't get nothing new for dig 5 so maybe they talking about manuals.
Dig 5 is best for kuban right now, way easier than 6 and give good amount. Although i might be wrong and doing low lvl dig is more efficient because they do not take 4 days.

This is what they meant by reducing the tutorial difficulty.

Attached: 20180321034702_1.jpg (2560x1440, 864K)

C ranks soldiers always have two or more C rank skills and it's random which of them you can level to S rank.

What?
And why are there boss?

It's the rescue mission tutorial.

I haven't seen anyone post anything new so I don't think we got anything actually new.
Tutorial always had those traps

You can S rank C recruits? I'll try this in a bit, but that would be surprising.

According to cheat user, they dumped 20 manuals into the two skills that were C rank to start with. One maxed out at a rank, the other maxed out at S rank. Could be a coincidence. I know I have one personally that is C rank in 3 or 4 things too so I'm not sure how that works.

There is no S rank obtainable currently.

The highest anyone can go is A with "adequate results"

One of the CE anons tested manual dumping and found out that previous occupation seems to affect how many manuals are required for personnel to jump to the next rank.

CCCCCCs are possible as well.

I though adequate was S?

Nah, at first someone said there's "mostly positive" and "positive", that was a source of confusion. Later CE anons tested it out and it's not the case, so A for Adequate is the best we can achieve right now.

so I finished the story and beat the Dust Lord
now Im just running around rescuing survivors and opening washed up hard containers
I tried playing a multiplayer game but it was completely dead waited 20 minutes and not a single one joined the lobby
what is there to do now in this game apart rescuing survivors and opening hard crates?
I wanna get those cool ass purple weapons and gear too

Attached: 1521446737753.png (1920x1080, 3.68M)

Continue for a couple more missions and unlock subclasses. Pick one and stick to it.

Base digs - they give you new buildings for the base.

Survivors, yeah, you keep rotating them untill everyone is at least C in something, so you can have all teams at B except empty exploration team.

Above all else, level up. You can do Normal coop solo around level 50 and consistently get an S, depending on your loadout.

As far as matchmaking goes, yeah, it sucks right now because playerbase is shrinking and people are getting fed up with long queues. Remember that nobody queues Easy and pretty much nobody queues Normal, so go Hard and hope for the best. Which queue is most active is hard to say, pick between rescue, daily or weekly. Regular Hard queue will probably have the least people in it.

You have to queue hard daily to get people. Once people get their weeklies done they don't go back because fortified is an annoying modifier. You might also try hard rescue because of the patch adding extra rewards to it.

Match with people on reddit's discord.

>Pick one and stick to it.
Bad advise, you need several Scout skills for solo anyway and then you can do any other class.
There actually some people in normal daily/weakly too because they give cases now.

Attached: 1464556482772.jpg (1688x1125, 798K)

Multipick is the only skill that is really needed for running resource loops.

I'm running Jaeger and I solo S Normal easily without any turrets, will probably transition to Hard in a bit.

what gear should I give my expedition team?
all green weapons and gear will be enough to send them gather resources Im missing?
or should I just avoid and not even bother?
also can story NPCs like Miranda and Reeve die if you put them in defense or expedition teams?

the amount you get and time it takes isn't worth it

Exploration is only worth it for killing off useless personnel.

The resource returns from regular exploration are laughably miniscule. Run a loop from farmin guide in the OP instead. One loop on each map takes about 30 minutes total, do it every other day and you won't have any real shortages.

I see..thanks for the advice..
can I instead send the expedition team to just explore and reveal the map for me?

What are the essential Medic skills?

Fox steps for jungle needed too, otherwise grabbers are too annoying.

Nope.
Ehh, yes, I agree, but leveling up early is more imporant because of damage scaling.

Healing aura, maybe healing back stab for self healing because healing knuckle drain your health.
Rest in stats.

There's always been a boss in the tutorial mission.

I remember because I spent all my ammo killing it.

>killing the boss

Why do people do it in rescue? He's easy to avoid and killing him seems to be a waste of time since you can get S anyways

Every once in a while the boss likes to jump on the digger. It's real hard to extract the target with a tentacle/claw up your ass.

All medic skills are too mediocre to be essential.

You can get S without killing the boss IF your team isn't a bunch of total retards.

And that's a big if.

Still no purple bow. Still not a single golden weapon. I rank 1st place almost every game and I don't even hunt for points intentionally.

Fucking had it with this RNG shit.

who cares? once extreme release we're have all the fucking orange weapons we want

Holy shit, people actually like metal gear survive?
Guess the world truly does have garbage eaters.

>implying there will be new rewards
Here's another base manual for you senpai

Thanks for stopping by!

Okay, I may have gone a little bit overboard with my autism to find the source on your pic. For those who are interested, it's called "目黒発 かわいい自転車女子ばかりを狙うスポーツマッサージ治療院". And for those who are too lazy to translate that and just want a search term so they can jerk off, "CLUB-217 Meguro Departure Cute Bicycle Women Just The Aim Sports Massage Clinic".

>MRS-71
>Bametov
>Brennan

What are we even going to need them for in this game

>a little bit overboard with my autism
>a little bit

Im on my third orange Geist right now. Want to know the worst part?
I let everyone else carry me and have been bottom of the board for days

god i love the goofy long-form naming conventions in jav and lns and shit

pls no bulli i just saw nice legs and spats and i just had to find out

Hey, as long as you know your opinion is objectively wrong, then you do you bud.

>opinion
>objectively wrong
My objectively right opinion is that you are a faggot, sir.

Good day.

beats "hot blond get RAILED by MASSIVE DICK"

But no, really, if you think metal gear survive is anything but garbage, you are in denial.
Doesnt mean you cant play it, a few people like garbage! Take armond white for example.

Yeah how about you make another video about it instead of shitting up the thread.

>Friend hasn't played Peace Walker
oh boy time to rev up them VPNs and co-op binge this weekend
also planning to play Ac!d but I think that'll have to be something down the line when bored.

To my understanding, the title in Japanese isn't actually far off from american porn title conventions. In proper english, the title of the video would be something along the lines of "Cute bike ladies from Meguro Sports get massage therapy from a hospital aiming only for girls"

So people with 200 hours in Survive here are playing it just out of buyers remorse?

I mean, it's all right if you're trolling, I guess. Oh, I'm so mad. God damn you, sir, for making me this mad.

Because if you are serious about this, then damn your life must be sad and boring. I can't imagine wasting my time going around telling people to not like people I don't like.

you've changed my mind on survive, finally after 230 hours of play time i truly see how garbage survive is! now where's kojima so i can jerk him off

Attached: 1499094943989.png (396x413, 236K)

It's good, actually.

>projecting this hard and being this defensive
7/10, I chuckled
I called a game shit, no need to stake your whole life on it. Didnt even say that liking garbage is necessarily a bad thing.


Also, holy shit, 200 hours? Talk about a sad and boring life. Any game, no matter how good, you play for more than 200 hours within a month of release is patehtic. That means you have spent more than 6 hours a day on average.

Attached: laughing-bane.png (680x523, 485K)

Holy shit man.

Thanks for opening my eyes, I can't believe I've spent 186 hours on this garbage.

And I wanted to play it even more, pfew, dodged the bullet here.

Do you have some sort of YT channel or stream or something? Your opinions on things would be invaluable to me, as I clearly can't think for myself.

Not the user your replying to, but by god, you sound like a insufferable faggot. I bet you live a sad life. Going around Veeky Forums and telling people no guys the games bad, listen to me project. GUys why are you playing a shitty game. guys listen to me. That is you faggot.

yet you waste your time making "le epic shitposts" while im enjoying a game that i like

yeah i know the literal translation isn't how it's supposed to sound, i just mean how they're way more descriptive and specific than american productions

Yes, you are a magnificent troll, we are all mad and trolled hard. Woe us.

Do you want a cookie? All you did is bump the thread. You are not even a blip on our radar.

I remember seeing a tip on the loading screen showing off the BP store. Does anyone remember if the prices were showing/what they were like?

>reading comprehension
>thinking I'm trolling and there isn't a grain of truth to people who think that metal gear survive is a bad game
obviously, people who are still here on this general think highly of the game. All I'm saying is that, for the most part, they are wrong. even by /v/ standards, they are wrong. Whats the big issue here?

inb4 contrarian

10.000 BP for a bottle of clean water

Did you play the game to reach that kind of conclusions? Of course not, you're just shitposting. Perhaps consider for a moment that the game isn't as shit as your favorite jewtubers have made it out to be.

Of course you won't because you are le epic trole xD

First, I wont fucking pay to experience garbage. I wont reward a bad actor, and buying the game is not on my agenda. Anyone who does that is pathetic and a fool unable to stand up for their own values.
Second, I played the beta. So yes, I actually am basing this off of my experiences and extrapolating it to the full game based off of the available data. How dare I.

Or are you going to tell me next about how everyone is paid shills, fanboys of kojima, and how I cant trust anyone but an anonymous garbage eater on the internet?

All right, let's put aside the whole "my tastes>your tastes" thing, backed up by "my tastes are objectively superior" bullshit.

If somoene is enjoying the game, why would a random opinion of some user matter?

Why do you think your opinion matters to us?

And if you don't, why are you wasting time sharing it? I'm curious about your thought process, because if you are trolling it makes sense, if you aren't, it kinda doesn't.
