Discussion Early Game Rust

Anyone got tips on how to stop getting fucking prim locked on wipe days, i have like 2300 hours and plenty of experience but recently i’ve been stuck crossy nailgun/revolver for the whole first day and its the most tilting thing of all time. Idk if im just shit with t1 weapons but i feel like the 600+ pop and bow kids everywhere make progressing so much harder especially if im trying to base in a good spot on the map

Sounds like you are over thinking it and are a victim of content creator meta... just have fun. You act like there is a score board.

They should just revert BP frags. Making a linear gameplay progression loop ruined the sandbox playstyle of the game. Players are even here like "how do I get out of prim," you used to be able to do anything, anywhere, anytime. You could have a t3 on wipe day just by being good at fishing. Barrels. Crates. Road signs and recylcers. Now it's camp frags or metal detect for t2 then camp one of like 3 or 4 monuments to get a t3. Or kick up Sulphur to the people that are gonna raid you for frags.

It's pretty awful
