DZ is still a blast. We had a group of four going manhunt bounties and it’s crazy intense knowing everyone in the DZ is hunting you. Moving through alleyways to confuse other players, setting up ambushes all while securing objectives. Love it. This game is most likely my new daily driver for a long time.

Embarrassment right to the bank. Globally mobile games make more money than PC and console gaming combined. (It's on pace to be a 100-billion-dollar market by 2021) Fortnite making $2.5m a day. PUBG making similar daily figures but with 30m active players a day.

You can donate items from the map in the projects tab: You can open your map, go to the tab called projects, click any project and you can donate items from anywhere! Hold onto old gear and check to see if different projects need those items before selling or dismantling. You can also donate right from your stash, no need to carry everything around with you, just dump everything into stash after each mission. You can change your inventory style to a grid: Pull up a list of items (ie. all of your backpacks) push X on PC to access options, it's L3 for PS4 & Xbox (short example of what the grid looks like). This will not work if you are in your main inventory screen. Upgrade Crafting Benches: Upgrade crafting benches when you can, all materials are capped and it's way easier to just upgrade your bench when you can rather than dump all your mats into upgrading and not having enough to craft stuff you want. How to upgrade: When you first interact with the crafting table (before you select any pieces you want to craft) one of the options is to upgrade it (there may be level requirements to this). NOTES: upgrading the crafting bench also increases the cost of all blueprints you have, INCLUDING WEAPON MODS. As Weapon mods do not improve with crafting level, it is far better to wait to upgrade until you reach high world tier (4/5) so you can use less materials on all the weapon mods. PLUS - a blueprint is required to upgrade the crafting bench that comes with progression towards endgame (increasing world tiers). Skill Timers & Skill info: In settings, you can turn on timers for skills. It will show a countdown in seconds on each skill after you use it. You can also enable the ability to be able to view what skills your team mates have! (Console) Get to inventory faster: if you hold down the button to open the menu (start/menu) it will take you straight to your gear. Note: HOLD Start to go directly to your Weapon/Gear inventory screen. PRESS Start to exit to go back to the game *(You can also press the corresponding button for Back to go back to the game). HOLDING Start again (after the initial HOLD Start for Weapon/Gear Menu) will exit back to game but recognize the RELEASE of the button as another press and go to the overall menu screen, which is annoying so don't do that! HOLD then PRESS *If you click a Weapon/Gear item to bring up your list of inventory items it's quicker to double tap Back; PRESSING Start will cause a second of lag that causes that method to be longer that the double tap. The weapon talent that increases magazine size by 20% ("Extra"?) is factored in AFTER magazine mods: An AR with 30 rounds normal that has the talent will now have 36 rounds. Adding the magazine mod that increases the rounds by 30 doesn't give you a total of 66, it gives a total of 71 [(30 base + 30 extra) *1.2 talent]. The armor repair variant of the chem launcher stacks: If you drop 2 or a teammate and yourself both drop 1, you will heal at a faster rate. Deconstructing turrets & hives (does NOT work for drones): before duration expires cuts cool down in half ( 2 minutes -> 1 minute base on assault turret ), if you deconstruct a hive - even if one charge and any duration is left, dismantling it gives an enormous cooldown reduction. All ballistic shields can be repaired by the chem launcher (but the healing drone will not do this). Example of chem launcher in action VERY IMPORTANT (CONSOLE) - aim assist is very strong when first ADSing (ADS = Aim Down Sight): Get into cover, put cross hair (not in ADS) over the general area of target (say chest) and then ADS while firing - cross hairs will snap to head, repeat cycle for constant head shots, particularly with single shot rifles. This is a carry over from d1. Getting the hang of this will dramatically improve your success in PvE. If you are primarily solo: Hive Reviver acts as a self rez on death If you kill an enemy engineer before you kill their active turret the turret will turn on his teammates or at least stop shooting you. Heavy Enemy weakness: If you shoot the Ammo Belt of the Heavies, you break em and force them to reload. Respawn Rates: Weapon and Armor crates have a 24hour respawn time, Big yellow crate in Control points will respawn each time you capture a control point yourself in World Tier 4, Key boxes have a 24hour respawn time, Misc. lootables seem to be on a 4 hours respawn timer, not 100% about Misc, lootables but they seem to have a 4 hour respawn. Maximum obtainable gear score is tied to your current items, *including* stash. Keep high score items for better loot!: Gear Score for loot drops is based on your max attainable own Gear Score from all items owned, including your stash. Just hold on to items with higher Gear Score, you don't need to equip them to still get better drops. To elaborate, "max possible" is the highest ilvl item you have NOT average ilvl of all items. So for instance, if your highest ilvl gun is shit - throw it in your stash and the item still counts as your max ilvl piece of gear (even though you aren't using it). You can have all the low ilvl gear you want in your stash, but the ilvl mechanic only counts towards your highest ilvl gear. Donating supplies gives you the ability to see lootable objects from further away: Donate supplies to one of your settlements before going sewer looting. It will temporarily highlight loot near you, making it easier to see and less likely to miss a cache key. Loot Control Points after a bit of time has passed: If you go back to a captured control point after a certain time, the supplies and crates in the supply room are obtainable again except the big chest. No exact time has been confirmed but it does happen from time to time. Helps with getting some free loot! Note: if you go into the map and select a control point, in the info it includes a timer counting down till the supply room loot fills up again. (Might only be during end game). Don’t overlook DZ & Control Points in your search for loot Regarding DZ loot: Even if you hate PvP, but want a nice spike in gear: Go to the Dark Zones. You don't have to hunt other people. Heck, you don't even have to deal with calling for choppers, extracting gear, watching nervously, then get shot by rogues. Just Landmark hop from point to point and clear them out. Enemies there drop loot that you do not have to extract. And they drop nice, NICE pieces of gear. Hit the landmarks up a few times and you'll have no worries of falling behind with gear while leveling. You can find unmarked SHD tech in underground tunnels & loot sewers regularly: Key boxes in the sewers respawn, come back for more faction keys! Sewers are by far the fastest way to farm Rare Crafting resources like Carbon fiber, Titanium and Electronics due to how many different boxes there are in them. You can shoot locks on gates / doors In main story missions there are loot spawns that are easy to miss Side missions often unlock a room with loot (aka. Control Points) Sometimes you can see into a room with a weapon case / loot but there's no obvious way in...there IS a way in... there is always a way in (bugs not withstanding). Side note: Follow the red cord to a yellow box and shoot it. Your cross-hairs should be red when you aim at the thing that opens the area. Don't forget to search for faction keys and key boxes/cabinets on the walls. They look like a fuse box of sorts or a cabinet you would see near a valet office. Faction keys open faction loot boxes. Claiming armbands: You've likely unlocked lots of arm badges if you haven't checked the Progression section of your menu. Open up Progression, go to the next tab and you'll see a list of all the challenges you've completed. You have to manually claim the rewards for each challenge. You can see a list of unclaimed challenges on that screen. Supply boxes in trees: Orange supply boxes that are stuck in trees, on buildings and other high objects always drops a Dye for your Gear. Faction lock boxes always drops Gear mods. Do Bounties! They give great rewards, exp, credits and best of all skill points for your specialization. Commendations: Under Progression there is a Commendations tab, claiming the rewards there unlock Emblems and at certain points Commendation Caches that give the same loot as a Field Proficiency Cache.

The skins and overall contents of the battle pass are lackluster. The way Octane sprints is absolutely hilarious.

Latency will always be the number one thing to hold this back, yeah? Second, it's never going to compete with a physical PC but I bet there's a market for it.

These attacks on other human lives are always done by a coward. Nothing more, nothing less.

PC players are welcome to join [WIN] Win Your Ones. It's a clan started by myself and a few of my regular group on PC.

Very neat Dave. Excited to play a game with you again in the future.

That’s how it use to be. It’s patched or going to be. Side missions give 33% of the experience to your level so people would finish the story then do the side missions. Ive been so busy bringing friends up to where I am I’m Lv20 and haven’t been to the Lv15 area yet. XD

CWL doubled its viewership in 2018 and now being on PC only help it. CWL 2019 also has a $6,000,000 prize pool. While my personal preferences call the game a piece of shit year after year, they pump money into it and some of the biggest organizations in all of esports got their start and still actively focus on Call of Duty.

Looks like they are shaping up for the Young Avengers.

Drifter all day. The only part of the Vanguard I liked is dead. Alright, alright, alright.

For me the only part about building a PC which has always been a niggle is the power connections to the motherboard. There will be a few single, double pin diode connectors that I need tweezers to connect. I’ve never heard anyone struggle with it other than me.

8.0 After 200 reviews on metacritic. The game is polished as all get-out; something we are not accustomed to in 2019 and especially within the looter shooter genre. It feels like an actual successor to The Division rather than an expansion pack branded as something new.

Big sale for Origin games on PC. Star Wars Battlefront 2 is £5, and a bunch of other games. Ill finally be picking it ip after that EA clown fiesta.

Please do it.

Hello. o/

That budget is insane. Mine is 1500 USD and can handle pretty much everything thrown at it. Bravo for being on the no LED side! Fuck that stuff.

So the new regen is based off of the UK and the internet ran with a theory that the female player character is Scotish. The shit is absolutely hilarious. There's even a subreddit for it.
