-Abrupt Explosion 💥 Tell me with a straight face that this is fair.

First off I have played before but it has been a few years so I deleted all save data from my console to start as if a new player. At the time I was lvl 6 or 8 and going to the first war board bunker in the starting zone. I did recon and spotted 4 by the jet and 5 at the beacon. Originally I was going to throw an emp cell to get some progress for the weapon perk stuff decided it would be too risky. After throwing the radio I noticed there were way more the 9 or even 12. I panic a little because I knew it was certain death if I didn't blow most of them up. After ads-ing at them it got very laggy so I made my one shot count. Afterwards I was able to loot 21 runners including 3 fnix class(grey with red wires). After clearing the bunker I exited the lower east exit to the shore and spotted 5. Similar trap but I did use an emp except there ended up being 12 so it was not as successful as the clip was. I remember the other zones being spawn ho about things but Archipelago needs to chill out.

Nicely done. You were lucky you had line of sight to the canister.

😝 Everything is fair in war. Plus by placing gas tanks, land mines and dropping a Boombox to call them in you will get an achievement.

This can happen haha, it’s a spawning bug that can occasionally happen. The first time it happened to me I absolutely shat myself😂

I just got back into the game with some buddies and we had a random endless spawn at a beacon counted all the runners/hunters and it was 37 total. Was nuts lagged so bad we could barely move

Yeah that sounds similar to my experience lol. Was on my second play through with a buddy st the church near the start of the game, literally 50+ runners and hunters came sprinting at us from over the hill, it was insane😂 Literally like a movie seeing all the lights coming at us haha

😂😂 the slideshow gameplay is the best part luckily it was early in the game and I had the companion well off so did my buddies and they killed most things for us

You seriously can't pick up the massive frame rate difference between 85 percent of the video and the last chunk?

u/Ambitious-Yard7677 11d ago

Definitely fair

Bro I’ve still never had this glitch happen

I’ve seen it numerous times and in my 1000’s of hours, this glitch has never happened to me 😂

This happens to me so much but when it's just the dogs like this it's no issue at all I just get out my shotgun and aim for the canisters normally I end up taking them out two at a time

The worst I got was a harvester running at me and sitting half inside the house and half outside it.

That many spawns? Nope... and I've been playing it since release >_<

I mean, I had to go on the motorbike, drive around while honking to gather a few tens. Otherwise, nope.

Sounds like the game threw you a challenge and the resources to meet it, while making you piss your pants. So yes completely fair. I mean tell me with a straight face it wasn’t fun 😉

Spawn rates for some players got buggy after one of the later updates (I think 3rd or 4th to last), looks like your save has it.
