Sometimes I get the urge to completely flip and turn against a friendly, but I know that's a pretty jerk move to pull. I actually gave into the urge once last night and I died miserably.

Been there and have to say I love the roasting comments over my ratty corpse.

You've always gotta to watch your back, but generally compared to other PVP games this one is less tense. Even the dude that I start shooting at knew I was being a jerk and called me some not so pretty names for it lol.

I'm very cautious whenever I hear "wanna team up?" because that often means they want your loot because you are in a good loot spawn. Here someone is coming to visit, just a few seconds after I started to loot the security locker:

My rule of thumb is that if they aim at me or don't say "don't shoot", then I am very hesitant or even aggressive, like I was against this dude:

This poor guy was just minding his business, but to my defense, he was running a bit too much in the open right next to a BIG tower.

I seriously need to turn on some instant replay capture feature. Ever since I got my new AMD GPU I haven't turned on their version. I've used Nvidia Shadowplay for probably a decade, so I just need to get used to using AMD's version.

Last night I encounted three downed raiders right by an exit elevator. They were all crawling around, screaming something like "I can't believe you did this dude! WTF were you thinking??". I just did a fist pump emote, shot each one once, proceeded to loot them and extracted. Thankfully I was right by the elevator so being over encumbered didn't matter at all. They didn't have the best loot, but I did get a ton of shields and rechargers which is nice, don't need to craft any for a bit.

Lost all my loot - safe pocket due to extremely aggressive ARCs that would not even flinch when I tossed a couple lure grenades. Most likely just too many of them, because before I died, I could at least count for different ones all going for me. You win some, you lose some.

In this next clip, I do win some, and I give respect to the last guy; he did try to get a melee kill on me. Most likely a duo, so I can understand he was a bit pissed. I also made the mistake of looting too early, as I should have used a bit more situational awareness. Luckily for me, he was a bad shot.

My favorite playstyle is going topside with the purpose to hunt Arcs. Not focusing too hard on looting, just trying to rack up some robo kills.

I went into Dam Battlegrounds with a level 4 Ferro, tons of ammo and tons of healing, and starting picking off the first drone I saw. It was a good bit away, and someone hiding behind the rocks started shooting at it too. Once we killed it, I ran over to where he was and we teamed up. We ran over to the hydro domes, where my dumbass proceeded to shoot at a Rocketeer. I thought with the two of us, it should be a piece of cake. Unfortunately I was dearly wrong.

The Rocketeer eventually killed me after trying to fight it for a few minutes. I was crawling around, and apparently my new buddy didn't have a defib. I kept emoting to him that I was sorry, and thanked him for sticking around. He waited a while, but eventually knocked me out to put me out my misery. I was glad he got my loot and not someone else.

Speaking of defibs, my nephew and I were thinking about going medic today and running around helping downed players. Seems like it could be fun to roleplay it and see what will happen.

I was thinking of doing the same haha. I love being a medic in a lot of games I play so it would fit perfectly for me. Another idea I had was a traveling ammo/grenade dispenser, randomly giving people free nades and ammo if they need it.

I can see you slow walking around like a giant pack mule

I think people will love that because going out of ammo happens very often, especially when you go for free loadouts or run in naked.

So far I'm only using green level augments and a level 1 shield. Do higher level augments increase your carry weight? It would be cool to have a couple of Stitchers to hand out in case someone needed an extra gun

I played a quick round on my lunch break today. I set out to hunt drones and that's exactly what I did. I must have killed a good 10 drones total. I had about 5 minutes left until I needed to get off and get ready to head back, so I ran to the closest extraction point. There, a giant Leaper was lurking about. I quickly called for the elevator and went and hid. Along with the Leaper, there were a few regular drones circling the area also. Just as the elevator was about to come, I had a sudden power surge and my PC shut off. Maybe that was foreshadowing, since there seemed to be a slim chance of surviving the Leaper and three drones, but it was still a bit disappointing regardless.
