What are the little red boxes inside enemy bodies when shooting at them

How do I find loot in the dark zone

How and when does the chopper come to extract it (thought a flare had to be fired)

Will give it another couple of hours tomorrow don't want to play to much and ruin the story but so far it's a purchase for me.

1) Erm, not sure what you mean. The red graphics that appear in the contaminated zones? It's not really a mechanic that's used properly in the beta.

2) NPCs, other agents and containers will give you loot. Killing NPCs and/or rogues will earn you DZ credits which you can use in the DZ vendors.

3) You call in a chopper by going to one of the extraction zones and calling it in ('F' by default). You have to wait til the timer counts down then a rope descends and you use F again to hook your loot onto it, a few seconds later it'll get taken away and then appear in your stash.

970 is running ok now I've turned it down a bit. 2560x1600 is a fair few more pixels than 1440. Played a couple hours on PS4 as well this evening...doesn't look anything like as good but does play nice on the controller and the voice comms setup is better.

Played for about 5h today and really enjoyed it, although my GTX 760 is struggling :(

Is there anything else to do in this beta?
This is what I've done:

  • Claimed my base
  • Freed the Dr in the Hospital mission
  • Done enough medical side missions to do the Medical Wing upgrades
  • Done a few steps (maybe 4) to find a missing person
  • Had a bunch of random encounters in the PVE zone
  • Entered the Dark Zone and had great fun :)
Is that it, content wise, for the beta?
 
I'm running an i52500k at 4.4ghz and an r9 290 but i get frame dips outside? The CPU is maxing out but sometimes the GPU is only sitting at 70%. Am I bottlenecking or do you think moving to my ssd would help? When I say drops its like from 60 to 35ish bit that feels unsmooth.

Game is great other than this :)

It's very good. Even Nexus has mentioned how good it is and how he is going to upgrade his rig just for this game.

And some people have mentioned "pre-orders" the dirty birds. I like it but will wait for release.

Yup, the game play is superb, love the environment/new york detail too.

Only thing is, tony, squeese and I have completed every thing now and once the stuff is done, there is nothing else to do so the game will need a **** load of content and hopefully not through DLC ****....

And yes, pascal or polaris and a 34" 1440 free/g sync monitor is needed now! :D

Some quick screenies, in the end I just let auto detect set my settings, mostly set to high and fps are about the same, around 50-60fps with dips to 40's

Really wish the squads were bigger though, even just 1 more person would be better or/and allow multiple squads to form a platoon/team.
 
Its fun but can't see how much longetivity its going to have. Can see it dying off quite quickly unless there is a lot more to do in DZ.

Cover system needs a lot of work, especially breaking out of it. Can be a pain a times.

I've had a quick blast on it and the gameplay is pretty smooth, runs well at ultra on my 970 (albeit with not that impressive graphics anyway) and has been pretty stable apart from one moment where my gun vanished and no buttons worked apart from panning the camera round.

I recorded some game play on my twitch account if anyone fancies a look. Don't expect expert level gameplay though, I'm fairly terrible.

Pretty much this, i know theres more content story wise, although the scripted missions are hardly challenging/entertaining.

DZ is where the fun is, especially when your squad is trying to survive a manhunt, my only concern is that shine will only last so long.
 
after a couple hours playing with randoms. how the **** do i chat ingame lol..

anyway game was blurry for me, after using reshade and k-putts config game looks nice and sharp and runs 50+ on a 390. not a bad beta, game is interesting, depends on the amount of content
 
It has it moments I just can't see them being enough.

A few of us were just playing for about 4 hours. We waited for a full squad to extract and then opened fire, we hit manhunt so we spent about the next 8-10 mins trying to defend our location. Was a lot of fun as people were doing their best to get to us.

The few story missions they chuck in are utterly bland but not really fair to judge that part as its clearly all about the DZ.
 
This game will be a nice stop gap until the older brother arrives - Wildlands.


I like how TD "borrowed" many of the cover shooting mechanics from GOW. Get behind cover, see an enemy and just fire and the character will one handedly hip fire over the object or from the sides.
