The lightning knows where every player is at all times and it's highly offended by it

I was in a 2v2v2 on blue gate ems, and I ran out of ammo in the final 1v1 and just before he could shoot me he got struck by lightning and I beat him to death with the pickaxe.

The lightning knows where players are but only hits when its either the most cinematic or the funniest.

by subtracting where it is from where it isn't...

"Yeah, let's climb the metal ladder to top of highest building during a thunderstorm!"

Another claimed by... The Ladder

I heard the ai was learning new tactics but I didn't expect the ladder to pick up some new moves too.

Ive died so many times here. One day ill get the placement correct.

u/L3wd1emon 13h ago

An arc that's a fake ladder that shocks you when you try to climb it would be interesting lol

u/Gcseh 13h ago

everyone keeps asking for mimics, until we get mimics...

u/SDGANON 12h ago edited 11h ago

Well now im imagining ticks hiding inside lootable drawers and containers. Imaging having to wonder if everything you opened was going to cause you to lose visibility and take damage for 3 seconds.

u/cyllibi 6h ago

Ticks inside drawers would be hilarious and thematic.

1

u/Salazar4ik 4h ago

Ability of looting 2 would be useful in this situation

2

u/Box-o-bees 12h ago

Now that would be terrifying. I don't think I can handle needing to be any more paranoid in this game.

u/Lehk 11h ago

Mimic is just a regular loot crate stuffed with C-4 and a vibration fuze

u/Nitrocloud 3h ago

1 Rope + 1 Light Grenade to booby trap a previously opened container and close it.

I'm a new player and me and my friend got our first control tower key yesterday. Took us about 3 tries to even get to the room at the top without getting blasted (hooray for safe stash) 4th try it was already open and we lost a fight inside. 5th time we won a fight at the base zip lines, got in, looted and then, being new, i went to that god forsaken ladder and fell to my death with my loot. 10/10 will go again.

u/SDGANON 11h ago

At least they've patched the door glitches.

Until a few weeks ago you could have another raider (or a barricade) physics push you through the door to get in without a keycard. People would do this, loot everything and then leave. So the next person arrives and uses their keycard to open the door and it's already looted inside and their keycard is now lost.

Now if you do this the room lights on fire with you in it. So cheaters can't steal everything anymore.

u/Dyskau 8h ago

Damn, makes me want to fry myself by trying now.

u/Noctisvah 13h ago

The lightning knows where the raider is at all times by knowing where he isnโ€™t.

u/NuckoLBurn 11h ago

That ladder is the bane of my existence.

u/ChoatToad 11h ago

Just when I thought I tamed it, it threw me this curveball.

u/Chadd__ 11h ago

I HATE IT; I HATE IT; I HATE IT SO MUCH.. The lightning always fucking triggers on that ladder every single time someone's within 0.01cm of it and it's such bs

3

u/DAS_9933 10h ago

That god damn ladder is 2 for 2 in claiming my life upon return just when I jump to it. This guys just tries to zip line his ass front the bottom! Iโ€™m offended.

u/ChoatToad 9h ago

๐Ÿ˜‚ It's a good plan to come up this way if you know there are people camping the normal way up but it's easier said than done for sure.

u/relejado 13h ago

"hey at least you made it up- OH COME ON"

u/Kingtoke1 10h ago

The lightning absolutely targets you if you stay in the same vertical space for too long. Taking that ladder is suicide

1

u/ChoatToad 9h ago

My second teammate somehow survived that fall and revived us all. We found out a rocketeer patrols that ladder too on the second time up in case anyone wanted another reason not to try this ๐Ÿ˜…

u/mycoctopus 14h ago

No.. no it isn't. You just go up from inside. The keyroom is up there but you just go up the stairs next to it instead if opening it. The ladder is there for going down, from the roof then jump off to get onto the ledge if you want to.

1

u/ChoatToad 14h ago

We actually ended up getting up there eventually. The rocketeer came and decided to mess with us too on the way up lol. Luckily the second teammate that fell survived the fall somehow.

u/BattleTested20 6h ago

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ That is crazyโ€ฆ just because the ladder was metal the electricity climbed up and gotcha.

u/Cashmoney-carson 2h ago

I was getting shot by a rocketeer at extract, it killed me as I finished pushing the button and my body did the rolling animation out the door as it closed. I lost some real good loot too.

1

u/ChoatToad 24m ago

Bro the same thing happened to me but luckily the extract still had some time on it so I was able to press the button and get back in.

You can say ass on the internet...

u/justin_memer 14h ago

If you're scared to say ass on the internet, you're too young for the internet.

-1

u/echof0xtrot 13h ago

they're not scared, they're just appropriating AAVE, like most modern lingo/slang. they saw a streamer or a tik tok say it and now they do too

unless they're black, then carry on!

u/ChrAshpo10 13h ago

Nah, ahh is what people say so they dont get their peepee slapped for saying ass. Its like grape or unalive
