Ok Levelled up my security and when checking out the new weapons. I see a new CHP ammunition. Cool. Must be good in some way. So I check it out. Copper Hollow point. 80% damage. It seems to have less stats than everything else. Standard FMJ ammo seems to be better.
So what’s the deal. Is it lighter or cheaper or something? Or as it’s a hollow point will it do more damage to un armoured targets? When will I need to fill up a backpack with CHP ammo over FMJ?

Ok so I’m still kinda new to this game and playing through the first game at the moment. (Loving it by the way. Can’t wait to start on the second one when I’ve finished the first). I’ve just hit the 3 or possibly 4th map. (The one were the left hand path from the base opens up). And whilst exploring there is some sort of shadow tank or armoured vehicle that’s driving around the map with a search light. At first it was impossible for me to get past it. But I’ve worked out its path and have started making my way around it. But it’s still annoying when I’m doing something and I get a surprise cannon sell up my *** because it circled around.

My first thought when seeing this is. Dam. I didn’t see any RPG’s in the shop. I don’t even know if this game has RPG’s. I wonder if just regular grenades would work. But before I spend the next 20 hours trying to fund myself to equip enough grenades to cause a mini apocalypse. Can these tanks actually be killed. Permanently. Or well Until the next tide?

Ok. Quick question. Can you rearm your ships guns if you have the ammo in stock.

TLDR:
Ok so in 4.8 rearming will be a thing. Along with refuelling and repairing. An Idris owner can buy cargo like ballistic ammo, fuel and RMC. And as long as it’s stored on the cargo grid. Anyone that lands on the flight deck can do the 3 R’s. But I noticed that the ballistic ammunition size goes upto size 7. Which will be for ships bigger than what can land on the idris. So I’m wondering if if the turrets on the idris was replaced with ballistics. And if I had the ammunition on the cargo grid ready. Could the idris technology rearm itself?

I’ve just started playing the first game. Loving it. And I’m not to worried about the shreeks and scratches of the monsters as they come at me. Until one guy on discord heard them and said nope. Not for me.
Which made me think. There is one. That kinda freaked me out when I first heard it. That of a little girl saying “Is Max coming out to play”.
This startled me because max is my name that I go by. And as this game was made before AI became a thing I was wondering how it knew to say that. I know that some games could read your files and would throw them back at you. And games like fallout actually had the voice actor recorded every known common name. And a few uncommon ones. To tailor to your input.
Which made me think. Did this game do something similar? Or is it just simply a coincidence and the line “Is Max coming out to play” is what everyone hears?

Hi. Just downloaded and started my journey into the radius last week. (First one). And I’m absolutely loving it. The gear mechanic is spot on. I really do feel like prepping my loadout properly before each excursion out into the field. Eat. Pack ammo. Pick my weapons. And managing my ammo. I would have thought that doing manual retooling of ammo mags and drums would be a bit tedious for an fps. But it’s quite the reverse. It gives you a sense of organisation and prepping you don’t really get in other fps. Which just say here’s your guns. Here’s your ammo. Have fun. Here you get a real feel and attachment to your weapon. Cleaning it. Modding it. Making sure your mags are full. And with the right ammunition you want to use. Yep. I’m having fun.

But I do have a few questions. I’m only security level 3 at the moment
First can you buy drums? I found one out in the wild for my PSS and it’s awesome to have. 75 rounds of pure fun. But the one I can see in the shop are the standard banana (curved) mags that hold about 30 odd rounds. I want more drums.

Second can you destroy the black ribbons? I know that light from my torch can get rid of the black grease. But the black ribbons hang around in the air. I don’t always see it and run straight into them. Can I get rid of them?

Third. I just encountered my first thumper. Invisible enemy that smashes the ground as it moves. Kit almost killed me the other day and I dumped an entire drum into it and hit nothing but air. Can they be hurt?

I’m sure there are a lot of YouTube vids on line as this is an old game. But I’m trying to avoid them for spoilers. I just need to know if I’m heading in the right direction. Thanks.
