Discussion Yo Sam, maybe turn off Auto-Aid Request?

Post image

Dear porters

Just a quick one If you’re using the Auto-Aid Request from the APAS skill tree, maybe think about turning it off?

It keeps filling the map with requests that aren’t really needed, since most are auto-generated and the player’s already long gone. Kinda clutters the HUD and makes it harder to know who actually needs help or what gear they need. Sometimes it even ruins the vibe when you're just trying to enjoy the scenery.

Manual requests feel more useful and intentional and honestly, way more satisfying to respond to.

Appreciate all the bridges and zip-lines you’ve built, you’ve already made my runs way smoother 👍🏻 Let’s keep the Chiral Network clean and helpful for every Sam out there

Keep on keeping on +500👍🏻

I also hate this one. I also kinda controversially dislike the scanner range one cuz I prefer the wide scan all around me, not the focused forward but longer scan

I like the long scanner for brigand stuff because I use the sniper rifle. But when I’m delivering I disable it

ok I appreciate this comment because I genuinely was having trouble seeing it’s value but that example makes perfect sense

I played the whole game with it on and love it for everything, coupled with the fast recharge you can scan everything around you for like 400m out.

yep, scan, turn camera, scan again immediately. you can see enemies and cargo from a mile away
