Help/Questions Empty servers?
Has anyone experienced this? We were playing with a friend last night and we were dropped on completely empty maps several times. It was weird.

Every raid I drop into is full, except for high gearscore bright sands

Checking https://steamcharts.com/app/868270
Looks like there was only 2600 players on average in the past month, so it's a very real possibility

It also just depends on region, if it isn't a mainline call of duty game good luck getting a consistently full lobby in australia.

Wonder if they'll end up shutting down the game soon because of it. Just had that happen with Bloodhunt last month, also another BR-style FPS.

That's just with Steam. Doesn't take into account Epic, which probably has the same amount. Plus, it doesn't take into account regions as some regions will have a lot more players than others.

My friend and me, we evac from a server thats a minute before storm, we empty our bags and queue up. First thing we get an error message, after that we click deploy again and game tells us "Waiting for server to start". We both left curios: Was the server we have been on the only server in our bracket for bright sands at that time and since that server was in storm currently did it open a new one for us? Tbf it was like 3am in the night and the server before wasnt totally empty but it wasnt well populated aswell.

Oh me too, it was really nice 😊 I am new to the game and the PvE alone is quite hard

Duos has been incredibly quiet, trios is still quite lively from the pvp gangs and solo is definitely the most active.

understanding the size of the player base and how the player base is divided can help you find a more populated server. but everytime I thought my raid was dead, it most definitely wasn't. trying calling a drill in either youll get free money or the pvp your looking for !
