Yes I'm drowning in wolfpacks and seeker grenades since resetting
. Don't have any BPs and level 1 everything. Have only been on couple of times since reset and rage quit after dying both times ;(Yea I complete agree , Ferro is so underrated for it's cost.
A lot of times, even when I have stacks of good gear I'll just run with a Ferro and something else, Burletta or Venator maybe.
Anvil is probably better don't get me wrong, but the ability to fire fast can give you a false sense of security and then get you in trouble with the long reload, even if you only feed a round or two.

Honestly after 10 runs in Stella Montis last night trying to get anywhere near Assembly, or find a match that wasn't 15 minutes in already I too would happily turn to petty theft to get these poxy items.
The struggle is real.
Its very annoying, that was my 20th run easily trying. I dont mind the drop being low, so the risk can be high. But there isn't really any risk.
Its easier to get queen cores.

Ref round times, I had so many games in a row the other night all at 20 mins left.
Wish there was an option to queue for 30mins games, even if queue time was longer.

Same, this would be good.
You get a good spawn and think "right lets go" to find out that once your set on a route there is no point as 10 mins has passed already and the area would have been looted bone dry!
Good spawns or just good luck?
Good spawns mostly, and knowing the map.
Also people do "man look" sometimes, and miss the odd drawer here and there.
Yea agreed although I've done 3 of them with reasonable scores.
If anyone has any tips for raider caches let me know, not even attempted that one yet.
Yeah, I've seen a few things be missed

I was wondering if later in the game the game spawns a few random bits and bobs to give something for the late game spawn ins and to try to stop the insta quit people. I have been a a few rooms picked clean but then there would be one really obvious highish level thing in plain site (sadly not abln ion sputter yet)
Ok so seems quite a few of you are struggling so I'll provide some advice:
1. Spawn
First thing to do when your screen goes on, check if it's a fresh map, if it's 5+ minutes, probably even 3+ unless you are really close, don't bother and find the nearest exit
2. Location
Ignore everything else apart from assembly and medical, if you spawn on the other side of the map to either of these, see above.
3. Check the map and make a beeline to which of the two areas is nearest.
4. Once in, you are checking for drawers, and those little cupboards with blue doors, the yellow tool boxes, the white cabinets. IGNORE anything you need to breach, they won't contain the good stuff.
5. Assembly and medical are pretty close to each other, basically next to each other so always worth going through both locations in hope people have "man looked" and missed stuff
Good luck.
....it goes without saying night mode will increase your chances but I found several in regular already today as well.

I just jumped on for a game, new game, night raid.
Ran as fast as I could but looked like it had been looted but only 2 bits so ran through and looted everything else.
I ran dam and found the last leaper part I needed.
Got the 2 items I needed and now on step 5 where I can throw all the stuff I have been saving.
I am sure they have lowered some of the prices down and put some up compared to the previous 1

Ticks I'll be able to squeeze a bit more out of, Rocketeers/Leapers/Bastions should be able to get way more, I half arsed that the first time, I need to build up some more wolf packs then hit maybe Spaceport electrical storm.
Raider caches is awful and I dunno if I can be arsed to try and improve that one.....
The other two I feel are reasonably good. For the destroy arc enemies in the swamp, its not damage, simply per kill. I could be wrong but I dont think it matters if thats a wasp or bastion, it definitely wasn't damage based anyway.
Just pulled 5 keys out of buried city cold snap.
To be honest, they really need to boost the loot in the key rooms. Having all those keys is almost like a chore, you usually spawn on the other side of the map and then its already been looted, or if not, often just junk.
I'd be tempted just to sell them but they are more or less worthless in credit value.

I think the loot is ok but I too think they should increase the value of them. also it makes no sense that a key takes up the same amount of space as a stack of much larger items. imo keys should take 1 slot regardless of how many keys you have.
