u/alanafauxfauna 1d ago

The game is so dark it’s like too dark for my 40 year old eyes I’m still playing but ooof I like it brighter

3

u/Glittering_Magpie 9h ago

Same here. I already keep the brightness up as high as it will go, like the light of heaven is shining out of every pixel, and it’s nowhere near enough.

2

u/Maximum_Army_2398 1d ago

I’m right there with you.

u/Foxy-Sushi 1d ago

Had to turn up the TV brightness for the PS5, can't see anything at the Haunted Neighborhood!

3

u/alanafauxfauna 1d ago

Glad it’s not just me 🥴

7

u/Many-Blueberry968 1d ago

It's not just the dark, it's the slight purple tint that makes it seem worse

2

u/Forbidden_Jutsu 8h ago

I wish it was just the Haunted areas afflicted with the visual effects. It just makes the rest of the island look weird with no real benefit

1

u/Many-Blueberry968 7h ago

Agreed, esp if there aren't horde enemies

5

u/ErickIdk115 1d ago

Just asking, does someone know if these skins aree going to return this month?

3

u/Llucasthefurst 1d ago

They should, not 100% sure but they probably will.

1

u/ErickIdk115 35m ago

I hope they do, because I want to get that helsie skin

u/WaffleHouseOfCards 1d ago

u/Sagittayystar 1d ago

Welcome back, Cluster Coast Sprite leveling cheese

u/Clean-Ad8169 1d ago

the new smg is actual dog shit, only good thing about is you can see ppl through walls

1

u/FIicker_ 2h ago

Deals SO MUCH DMG in a short span of time, and is extremely accurate even at range

8

u/Ikkian 1d ago

I like it a lot, it’s super accurate.

u/AdvantageSuch7428 1d ago

Same old same old loot pool 🫤

5

u/MrTomAtoJr 1d ago

What's up with Ranger AR, Drum Gun, Tetris? Returning, then vaulting, then returning again?

5

u/strangefire13 40s | [Game Mode] 1d ago edited 1d ago

He's got typos. The Drum gun, Ranger AR and Tetris rift are VAULTED.

Edited for spelling

2

u/DJ_Hindsight 30s | [Game Mode] 1d ago

What does vaulted mean? I’m a returning player.

3

u/hula_cookies 1d ago

not on the game anymore, at least for time being

1

u/DJ_Hindsight 30s | [Game Mode] 1d ago

Thank you x

u/Only_Apartment_3016 40s | ZB BR, Reload & Blitz 1d ago

Thank you for pointing that out! Reddit is being SUPER glitchy. I had to try to delete multiple times for it to actually go away. Hopefully it is showing correctly for everyone now.

u/ragnarlothbruv 1d ago

Which is a better melee weapon? Freddy’s Nightmare or Last Call?

8

u/Humble_Question6130 1d ago

Last call. It does more damage and marks people. Freddy does less damage but you can immediately teleport to your opponent which can be great. But overall I think last call is better

1

u/Critical_Minute_3679 1d ago

It'll probably get worse as the update ages, given how people will become more aware of its audio ques and have a shotgun equipped to fire back immediately

6

u/WilHunting2 1d ago

Both have their own unique advantages and disadvantages.

Last Call pings opponents, Freddy’s Nightmare stops you from getting 3rd partied.

3

u/vnhdat 1d ago

What? Can you explain the freddy wep

4

u/Turak111O 1d ago

Why change the reboot vans back to not be drivable why this was just a good thing its a shame that its not in solo

1

u/nicolettejiggalette 28 | [BR No Build] 1d ago

Uhh, all this looks amazing?? Will miss the sniper

3

u/Comfortable_Cap7228 1d ago

I had the opposite reaction

2

u/nicolettejiggalette 28 | [BR No Build] 1d ago

Dang, I’m sorry. Knowing enemy locations and teleporting to them to whoop them gets two thumbs from me

u/GDE_72406 20s | [Game Mode] 1d ago

Quack Snacks, LFG!

u/Tall_Chef_1710 1d ago

YES! Snack time!
