You dick! I was engrossed in that story.
I did run up to an airdrop in the middle of a firefight many moons ago while I was a new spawn. I was able to grab a couple of items and bolt before anyone noticed. I've been at drops a few times without guns where I ran to get to it first, grabbed whatever gun was in there, and immediately fired at others coming up to it to scare them off.
I am way behind on the puzzles. I knew how to do nukes and train yard, but I think they've changed things a lot during my break. So I have no idea how to do oil and I've never been on the cargo ship. I think you're right that people don't do it often enough.
It is, but isn't. For me, being in a group feels like "forced participation", which immediately kills some of the fun. I have to focus on the game and can't also watch a movie or something. Most of the time I don't even wear a headset. That's legit my biggest issue with multi. I just want the freedom to do whatever, and if I'm with a team, I don't want to let them down.
That being said, I believe I can be talked into joining up for a wipe. What server are you playing on? I was on that "Super Chill Detroit", which has around 30 folks on at any given time, but had a really bad wipe. I moved to Grandma's Basement because I wanted something more casual so I could work on bases. Smaller online pop, but still folks out killing each other. I think it'd be the perfect type of server to learn and practice all the puzzles on.
Currently, I'm halfway through building a duo base and just getting my foot in the door, in terms of items. I'd like to get this base done and then build that hemp base in the Frost video you posted. I want to figure out the farming of hemp, and how big of an operation you need to become profitable.
I mentioned this a while ago, but I created a hideaway in the most secure part of my base once that nobody has ever done before (that I'm aware of). The second a YouTube video is posted about it, it would be the end of it. I actually thought it was gone from the game, but last night I ran into the rock formation that allows it. Holler if you want to see it.Cakedaddy wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 3:19 am One thing that I discovered which makes me nervous. You don't dig up the stash. It comes up just by you looking at it! I was wondering why they seemed to randomly pop up sometimes even when I wasn't pressing E. But, I figure they are off the path enough that no one will be milling about there. You have to look at them for a few seconds for it to happen.
