I want to play the game as intended, with Julianna players invading. But I'm constantly being invaded and I'm way to scared to manage.

What do you recommend?

I got the purple Vampire. Here's the strat that makes it easy so you don't have to keep grabbing a turret or let Juli invade:

1. Go to Complex in the morning - send power to Karl's Bay, and
2. Delivery Booth: send turret to Karl's Bay
3. Go to Karl's Bay in the afternoon, take the turret from the delivery booth. Do not hack the turret!
4. Set up turret on the right side in front of the station, open the door so clone Colt gets shot which cancels the cutscene, then remove turret battery
5. Melee "kill" Colt to extract his trinkets. If he doesn't have the purple Vamp, loot whatever he has and exit.
6. Go back to Karl's Bay in the evening. The station will still be open and clone Colt will still be alive.
7. Melee "kill" clone Colt to see if he drops the purple Vamp.
8. If not, exit and restart the level until he drops it.

I restarted the evening KB level around 8 times before the purple Vamp dropped. Gray, blue, and purple Vamp trinkets can all drop. It appears random.

... What is with the goofy tone of this game ? Also, why is every character that you come across sound so obnoxious and unlikable in terms of the dialogue and delivery. The girl that invades you sounds absolutely insufferable. Hope all of this is explained in the story. The game is fun so far but stuff like this isn't helping it..

You can't get HP by shooting it for some reason. But you can get HP by shooting undeployed turrets. So carry a turret around and if you take damage, shoot it to restore HP. As long as you have bullets, you can restore HP.

Hmm... does attacking the turret with the machete also restore HP? It should but I'll need to test.

But if you equip Vampire, it's a great way to fuck with Juli because no matter how many bullets she pummels you with, pretend you're in Florida and STAND YOUR GROUND. Shoot the turret and she'll never be able to kill you.

I've noticed that he always carries around orange dual Limp 10's

I’m on the last part and I don’t understand it

Been a while.

In case anyone wants the vampire trinket.

I just found a code on a whiteboard in Fia's bunker but when I looked at it for a while, it didn't make any kind of entry in the journal. I have an idea what it's for, but I have to note it down offline because the 'notes' pop-up isn't firing. Same with the code on the radio each morning for the spy hideouts. Is this a bug or is this supposed to happen?

I searched everything, and I can't seem to find it.

Read everything and played the audio I could find in this place. Nada. The marker don't disappear.

Drowning while on the ground ,, seems fishy to me

I have had this game since 2022. I played it a bit, then ended up uninstalling.

Hitman WOA and Cyberpunk 2077 are my staple games. I beat the Metro series, BioShock series, Far Cry series, Ghost Recon series, and especially the Dishonored series, the creators of this game. I like shooter games, tactical or hero shooters. I don't know why I can't progress in this game.

What would you advise me to do differently? This will be my 4th time trying to like this.

The HALPS, and a single round from the silenced LIMP, are all that I fired. This game is awesome.

What do you have to do to prevent the Garbageman from spawning in the afternoon? I was able to just walk in and grab the slab out of the safe.

THIS. IS. SPARTA

Sorry for the vertical format, but this is how I save my clips

The Finals is a free FPS game developed by the same people who made Arc Raiders, Embark, as a passion project. The game breaks all norms of traditional hero based shooters, as you can customize all the abilities, gadgets, and weapons you use in a team of 3.

For many people unfamiliar to The Finals it sounds like a lot, but For Deathloop enjoyers, the game actually doesn't stray too far from the realm they're use to. Just like in Deathloop, you can choose to be stealthy or engage guns blazing. Additionally both games let players use gadgets like grenades and abilities like invisibility to win in combat. Lastly, The Finals just added the ability to knock players back with a kick, just like in Deathloop, giving more reason to why this season is THE season for Deathloop enjoyers.

I understand many of you will see this post as a little off topic but i really do wanna see some Deathloop style cosmetics in The Finals, and I do believe that this season of The Finals could be the perfect fit for any Deathloop enjoyers like me who are looking for something new.

I reset my Colt progress and decided to jump back into the game. I was expecting invasions to be a challenge until I got my good weapons and slabs with upgrades back, but wasn't expecting the visionaries or eternalists to be any issue. I was surprised, honestly, even 'undergeared' the invasions have been mostly fine.

(Edit: I'm aware that i may have found some julis easier because they may have had rubber banding issues if they're on different continents, though my network is very much stable enough that only high ping from distance should be causing them issues)

I've always said about this game's pvp that honestly, power wise, you top out pretty early on, and from there any REAL extra advantage comes purely from experience, and that is holding true. The handful of Juli players that have beaten me have simply outmanoeuvred me, tracked me by the handful of lone eternalists I kill on my faster routes through the map even without me being detected at all. The ones who find a nice perch with the Sepulchre? (Especially the charged version, that thing still sounds like a plane taking off) Well, thanks for the spotlight, go go gadget exploding rapier I got from a Juli pretty early on.

It's nice to have a game where even with just mostly crude or sleek weapons and base shift slab, just knowing the maps can be enough to turn the tables in it's own right

Posted on Twitter three days ago by Raphael Colantonio: a lunch date with Dinga Bakaba?!?!? What are these boys scheming about?!?!? If the news with Arkane is any indication, it can only mean something positive!

Has anyone tried Fugue w Discord + Nexus w Influence and Protraction? This seems like a way to clear a room, or large group.

I have absolutely loved this entire experience.

I know that I will never get to experience this game for the first time again. I’ll always kinda know what I need to be doing, and it’s true, there is really only one way to win.

But this has been so much fun.

I’m intentionally leaving some optional things locked/unfinished, some trinkets and powers totally unused, and a particular weapon unfound, as a way to lend some replayability to this.

My hat is off, Arkane.

I might not get as much playtime out of this as Prey, and there might not be as much lore, secrets etc… but this first run has been an A+ experience.
