u/Friendly-Viper

Don't get me wrong there are still some great players with full purple kits. But not having to always worry about getting immediately pushed after a kill? Not having to worry as much about third partying? No teammates talking which covers audio? Way less noise chaos?

It is so genuinely satisfying to get even 2 kills in solos than it is to clutch a 1v3 in trios.

I played Solo's for 3½ today. NOT. ONE. DEATH. I even did my first lockdown event, and 4 keys, all of which were stolen off of dead players. This is a huge boost of confidence because I KNOW im not that bad at this game, but coordination and covering flanks is something I struggle with, even on Perimeter.

In trios I feel like im always getting double teamed or I die first. But so many times in solos have I been flanked and dropped on and STILL won.

Sorry to that one Assassin from last night (I was talking mad shit) after he lost a crazy fight (he had full purple and a Algea key) And the assassin about 45 minutes ago who I dumpstered inside of the tunnels key room.

I had run into another team who was looting Pinacle room, I assumed they were hostile so I waited for them to leave but the Vandal found me and was instantly friendly. They let me keep the scraps and told me that if they saw me yoink anything they wanted they'd kill me, I agreed, completely fair.

Shortly after they finished looting pinnacle they let me loot and headed off for command wing which was already looted prior, but they had a mida challenge.

Another Rook shows up but has no mic, I tell him the conditions I agreed to and he nods, acknowledging the friendly players.

I go down to command room and the Thief got locked out and the guys inside are fighting for their lives. I meet up with him to wait, the Rook also joins.

Something is immediately wrong though, the Rook has their shotgun out. We both start telling him to put the shotgun away but he just stares at me, trying to passively communicate his evil plan. He jumps at the thief and downs him even with purple shields, I hesitate for a second in disbelief before I react.

I could either join the Rook and have a chance of killing this team since the other 2 are low + fighting. Or, I can commit to my alliance.

I kill the rook right before he finishes and i revive the thief.

The thief, although not worried at all, thanks me and says he feels like he owes me. I decline bc I already have pretty good loot (purple v11 and a blue m77)​ but he drops a purple shield, his OWN purple shield. I shut my mouth and thank him for the gift.

The other two get out shortly after and thank me for my commitment to the alliance. They also gave me some blue salvage and a 1k valuable.

Safe extract, ended the run by us all just saying "fuck that ROOK in particular"

Rooks, I'm maintaining our Reputation across 90% of my runs. Don't betray the players. Sure feel free to just shoot on site, but NEVER betray someone like that. They will never trust us. I have been killed too many times out of fear/paranoia. Rook shouldn't have to be feared, but rather recruited.
