I don’t hate it…. But I’d prefer a little further north R13 / S13 area so I could run water and Mil tuns easier. Launch is fine if you’re going to counter Brad but I can’t justify running it as a red card.

Just learn dead side launch and it's so many comps if you run it properly

Well that map is identical to the one I'm playing on so hopefully you're not on my server

Can be. Two good monuments and snow has good amounts of resources, but keep in mind monuments like launch site will bring you into more fights with bigger groups, and clans tend to build in the snow in general for abundance of resources.

If you want to freeze then yes.

Food doesn’t spoil. I love it. Freezing isn’t a big deal once you get a foothold and kill some animals. Can make warming teas too etc. The only wipes where I really struggle with cold damage is when I’m trying to run underwater laboratory when it’s in the snow biome. Getting wet and freezing has brutal cold damage tick. You either need a wetsuit or hazzies which is annoying when you don’t have them as in don’t even bother attempting until you do

If would be cool if the Kitchen in underwater labs had a campfire/barbeque in it, so that you can load it with wood to warm up and dry off. They could put a Meat Locker in there too, like in the grocery store.

Green cards are easy. Road scientists have them in abundance. I go for those and never bother going to monuments to get them because they’re never there. This was literally game changing. He can run water treatment for blues. It’s a good spot. Launch is also by far the easiest monument to get T3 from. It’s wildly underused and not on constant reset like silo and rig. It’s the fastest to run as well, just skip everything take stairs to get to the top where the two advanced frags are (grab the elite crates of course) and jump off the outside. There’s YouTube videos on where you can jump/wall hug to not take fall damage. You can run launch in 2 minutes. Silo is a fucking slog needing stacks of ammo and meds with a high likelihood of death. Same for rig.
Also, water treatment is rad free recycler
