Seriously, I don’t have gear fear, I usually run with blues and pink/purples on all my runs, I don’t care if I get killed, I say “gg enjoy my loot,” then load in again.
Having to go through all the menus to re-craft all the attachments, weapon upgrades, re-crafting mats because you’re short on something (usually mechanical components), and slotting them is so god damn annoying. Just give us a loadout and display the master BILL OF MATERIALS (BOM), because this QOL implementation will be fuckin amazing.
The only thing I want for Christmas is a quick craft button for my present loadout.
Me too.
And if there are components I’m short of, i.e., mechanical components, I wish it gives us a sub menu where I can just craft it right then and there instead of having to flip through pages of menu screens.
Right. I'm imagining a single button press that crafts all the items in my preset loadout and puts them into my backpack in my preset positions.
If I don't have the exact resources to craft each item, the UI will show me what resources I do have that I can recycle or refine to make those materials and give me a one button press to do so.
Automation could even be added as a bench with upgeade levels, id dig that
right, if you have all the available components needed for everything it should be a one click deal to make everything.
Shit that’ll be even more simpler lol.
Or a button to get it directly from Celeste 😁
At least this. My god. Seems so simple.
You are like the 4th person that wants extra menus and buttons when a requirement is missing for crafting.
Why lmao, get the shit autocrafted if you have the materials to make it. Press to make something and the thing should make the advanced electrical components, mechanical components, gun parts, whatever is necessary if you have what it takes to make it.
Oh I actually replied to u/ok-minimum-4 ‘s explanation above, which is pretty much what you are saying, a single button press, which I totally agree with lol
Hope it comes eventually. Today, 2 friends were using just free loadouts but I couldn't because I was full.
So in between every match, it was just them waiting for me hahaha, feels awful.
Bro yes this would be such a game changer. Like just let me click one button and boom everything gets crafted automatically instead of going through 17 different menus just to get back to the same exact setup
For each slot (weapon, augment, shield, ammo, etc) I have to (1) check if I have that item in my stash (2) if I don't, I have to tab over to my workbench, then find that item and try to craft it (3) oops, I'm missing one wire, so now I have to go to the refiner tab (4) oh wait, wires aren't refinable, so I need to leave the workbench tab and go to the traders tab and select Celeste, then scroll to the bottom and buy one wire (5) go back to the workbench tab and craft the item I need (6) start this whole process over for all the remaining slots in my loadout.
I generally go thru and try to equip everything in one go and make note of what I'm missing. Then I craft all those items at once and then finally go back to equip everything. It's not perfect, sometimes you forget a thing or 2 but this is way quicker than individually crafting and equipping.
Also keep 2 or 3 copies of your kit in the stash. That way you're not doing this every time.
Let us save loadouts, and then give us a list of things missing from loading it, so we can click to craft it in a menu that shows us. Give us drop downs, something clean.
The current is great, and should be kept as is, just need something else for the situation we're struggling with.
Arena Breakout added 3 custom slots and then an option to equip your last loadout. I think that would be great for this game.
I too don’t spam free kits because I’m poor or I have gear fear, I spam free kits because I simply can’t be assed to craft and reequip everything.
You aren’t getting anything until mid-January 😂
Yes!
But ! But then we wouldn't hear all the shlick bween katchuck click vwoom pidililili worp blblbl
Fallout 4?
Yes. My monkey brain goes for a loop everytime I pick up a bunch of loot and I get a corresponding sound effect for every item.
This does have one small issue. It homogeonizes what you play each raid more than recrafting would have. When you regear, you gotta ask yourself every raid " what gun do I have?"".
Unfortunately the best kit is a simple anvil. Good damage, low visibility so no giant gun on your shoulder. Only requires 2 stacks of ammo so you have more inventory space for loot. Like yeah I'll run a full auto gun sometimes but then I gotta carry 3x the ammo because the damage is so low.
What level are you? I haven't had to worry about "what gun do I have" in ages. My stash has 12 copies of all my my favorite guns, at max level with all the best mods...
level 75 with 400 hours. It's not that I worry, but looking in my stash for what I have inspires me to use different guns more often.
what I do is precraft a bunch of kits, the problem with this is 100% of the time I have 0 stash space, and my annoyance comes after every match trying to fit the few items I don't sell/recycle into my stash lol.
I craft 3 full kits worth of equipment (3 augments, 3 shields, etc...) and that will usually last a long time but I still have to manually select each item from each page and move it from my stash into my backpack in the places I want them, which is very tedious, especially on controller.
If we can't get a quick craft button, I hope they can at least add a one button press option to "move these preselected items from my stash to my backpack".
Mess around with the right stick in the inventory. It lets you skip slots so if you're going far right to far left it'll save you time. But it'll take a bit of time to get used to.
No way that's awesome
Really? REALLY?
I'm almost 300 hours in and I did not know this. Wow
limited space also mean you can't store a lot of ready kits. Cause you need the place for mats, keys, you won't sell certain things cause they can't be crafted, or you don't have the blueprint yet, like I won't sell my 7 wolfpacks when I don't have the bp
A loadout system should be able to craft whatever is in it, maybe a toggleable for [BUY THIS ITEM] [CRAFT THIS ITEM].
Whatever the solution, i need a loadout system.
I sold like 2 rows worth of Wolfpacks yesterday. I got tired of the limited space and figured whatever.
As tarkov, huntshowdown player... this is one of the biggest quality of life changes possible.
This.
If they can somehow get this or something like this in game then it would be godsent.
If I have enough components and refiner leveled up mechanical components should be made on its own. I dont need to go back to refiner every time for it.
Seriously, this. If I get killed it's annoying but the real reason me and my friends stop playing after a few rounds is because of the absolute dread we feel to craft a loadout again.
Especially without a mouse to drag and drop. I be spending half my time in game scrolling around my inventory with my ps5 controller
Shit man, I’m on PS5 too and every time I get killed I just dread spending next few min flipping through menus/work benches. 😩😩
Better then that, hold shift+click and it quick sends item back and forth between stash and bag. Hold alt and it splits your stack. Hold control+click and you can select multiple items to sell/recycle everything at once. Drag and drop takes forever. I couldn’t imagine the pain of doing all this on console. Sound tedious
This is so true. It’s not losing the kit that hurts, it’s knowing you gotta spend another four minutes putting another one together before you can play again haha. We need custom preset loadouts so bad.
My grind to 5 mill at Stella went waaay different, I brought in a Stitcher 1 to make other players not want to engage, a Hairpin 1 to kill the arc, a green shield, and a purple looting survivor augment for the 3 safe pockets that'd cover the entire cost of the looting augment if I died. I had about 12 stitchers/5 hairpins and 10 looting augments made.
Only died once in Stella, and it was to my ISP restarting. Rest of the matches were completely friendly, and I had no time spent recrafting my kit, because I already had the augment/shield/stitcher/hairpin made for the one time I died.
You're not getting killed because you're in PvE lobbies not because you have a stitcher.
Yeah even when I go out looking to kill people in solo Stella lobbies, I cant because everyone is so fucking nice. And I dont just mean a random solo saying hi, I mean by the time I find them theres already a group of 3 dudes that my shit ass is not going to 1 v 3. So I join and its its own kind of fun, but its true many solo lobbies are friendly.
thats what makes stella fun. its like among us. i have to wait for one of the pack to separate before picking them off
Eh there's bad dudes in pve lobbies too my man. Less maybe but they 100% exist.
If I don't get enough resources I can't embark right? Don't care about the 5 mill requirement but I am short on resources lol. If so I guess I'm grinding today for enough x.x
You mean you need to finish the loading of the capsule? Ya, you need to get all the steps done, then sign up for the embarkation.
All steps done then embark? Damn, time to grind.
You've got 14 hours for this one lol
Good luck, raider. If you don't do it in time, you can always share my pod with me... just as friends, of course...
100% it takes so long to craft all the crap. Scrolling thought tones of lines of stuff to grab a key or stim.
Yes agree. Playing on the PC is not too big of a problem. But when I play with my friends on console, I might as well go take a nap while they bounce around in all their menus. Seriously, I might as well run another solo between their loadout prep sessions.
Literally every frustration re time investment etc boils down to this, too much time is spent not in the game even when I’m trying to play with a fairly simple build.
Load outs are a must feature add for this game. I spend 15 mins at times just prepping for certain raids
Yup. Specifically will do freeloadouts after a few runs because I just cant be bothered to set up more. Really want to be able to move my work benches as well, even that would be better. Sometimes I just go to the store because its easier
Yea I’m honestly tired of the game now because of this I haven’t played in a couple weeks I just dread having to craft a load out everytime now.
This if facts. Getting knocked out is just part of the game you accept. The rebuilding my kit is what annoys the shit out of me and makes me do free loadouts in Stella.
yep the re crafting gets annoying real fast
Set loadouts and instant craft buttons would be sick
I dont want to spend longer making a kit than I do in raid
This is what makes me the most annoyed about the people that kill you in situations where they literally can’t gain anything, like when I’m running around collecting berries or I clearly just spawned. Cool bro you shot me in the back. Congrats here’s a cookie and a ferro 3 meanwhile I gotta recraft a bunch of consumables
If you are foraging wouldn't it make sense to skip the consumables?
They don't do it for your loot, they do it because they get a kick out of knowing they pissed someone off.
Bro, I got killed within 2 minutes of spawning in Stella, and I was went to medical because I spawned right to it, and this dipshit killed me as I was fighting a Shredder I aggro’d. All he looted was my loadout. 🙄
I haven’t even looted anything from that area and I was like, here we fuckin’ go, crafting bandages, nades, augments, rechargers, upgrading my weapons to tier 4, all the fuckin attachments, and the ammo. So tedious.
You went to medical in stella. A PVP hotspot lol. ofc you're gonna get shot there
lol I know, but I thought I could dip in and out after grabbing some medical loot, only to get aggrod by shredder 😩 and by the time I died it was a bloodbath lol
You should have everything crafted for like 2-3 raids in your stash ready to go. I've got like 20 sterilized bandages, 30-40 herbals, shield rechargers, and a couple shields and augments. Plus I generally upgrade every gun in my stash at once so they're ready to go.
The only thing I'm constantly crafting is adrenaline since I use so much especially on the cold snap maps.
I mean that’s great, but not everyone wants to do that and just adding a saved load out feature with a single button that crafts everything in said loadout solves frustration for all players.
I have back up consumables ready to go but when they’re all out, it’s another round of going through menus/crafting pages to get them all crafted.
Given how long it took them to "fix" the wall breach with a half assed fix you either use my suggestion or wait a few months for saved kits. If we do get them it likely won't be soon.
Saved kits have been mentioned quite a few times so likely they already are considering it just don't expect it tomorrow.
They gain your berries
Berries go in the pocket.
And one less person nearby to worry about who may take valuable loot. Like, players don't know if you're friendly. Even if you say it, there are plenty of players who go back on it. Why take the risk?
Let me save loadouts, and then give me a list of things missing from loading it, so I can click to craft it in a menu that shows me. Give me drop downs, something clean.
The current is great, and should be kept as is, just need something else for the situation we're struggling with.
My buddy was just saying this yesterday. Would be fantastic to have loadout presets.
I agree with this. The constant moving back and forth between menus is bad UX. this must be optimised asap
I would also like a quick remake loadout button, and then alert me if I’m short any supplies
It'd be fun to use this as a way of expanding on the Bot lore by giving you an unlockable Bot Bench that does the crafting. Id be fine doing quests or gathering advanced electronics or whatever to have a bench where I can prebuild
Some custom pre-set loadouts would be nice
There is a slew of tiny changes they could make that would cut the number of clicks required to gear up in half.
When upgrading weapons, your equipped weapons should appear at the top of the list, instead of the bottom like they currently do
Add a checkbox to traders and crafting stations to "deposit into inventory" instead of into stash. If I'm crafting ammo, it's because I'm about to take it in, not just to have it take up space in my stash, come on.
When trading in a free kit augment for a green, the green should just replace your free augment in your equipment. Instead it just puts the green in your stash, so another few clicks to go into stash, click the augment tab, and click the green augment. Or even more clicks if you can't even trade it because youre stash is full and you need to go make space first.
Auto combine stacks in stash. The game makes no effort to use materials from the lowest stack in the stash, so you have to constantly keep clicking the 'combine stacks" button while doing stash-fu.
When crafting or buying, next to the arrow that increases amount to buy/craft should be another arrow that just sets the number to the max stack size. Most of the time when crafting, you're crafting in stacks.
A "whatever it takes to make it happen" checkbox when crafting. When checked, the game will automatically do whatever it needs to in order to make this craft happen. You're trying to craft a blue augment, but you don't have enough electrical components? When you attempt to do so, game automatically crafts the needed electrical components from the refiner and crafts the blue augment. No reason I need to click the refiner, click the components, click the plus arrow to 2, then hold e, then go back to the gear bench, then craft the augment.
When upgrading weapons, the ability to craft to the max level possible with available materials.
I could keep going, that's just off the top of my head.
Shiettt you craft kits, Stella free kit only
This is a stellar idea
For me it's the time wasted scavenging.
I gave up on Stella. Spaceport is where the real value is. And you don’t get instantly killed
Free loadout is cool because it respect ur time
You could just use looting 1, light shield, and stitcher 1 for Stella to save time. It's super cheap and efficient.
For real, this is so needed
Lack of load outs is why I now just use free kits… every time I build a nice setup I get attacked, and lose it. Go free and people just ignore me…
The re crafting is killing me to be honest.
Agree
Doesn't help the new update has the crafting menu glitch out constantly.
Yup...1 second to hold E then it resets and I have to hold E for 1 second again ugh
There should be a drag and drop custom workshop with your favorites — everything that gets crafted from your workshop gets put in your backpack
PLEASE SANTA, PLEASE!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I wouldn’t mind it if I could craft everything I needed to upgrade a gun, all from the gun menu, rather than having to go craft, mechanical components, advanced mechanical, medium parts, then back to the gun to upgrade or repair. And so on.
I usually ran with just an augment and got a shield and gun while looting.
Running it a Stella is a mistake imo, the risk is far to big and rhw results are pretty much the same as other maps
I’ve been having good results, I caught up 1.5 million I half a day. It’s good because the map is small and there’s shit ton of containers.
I think that frustration is motivating to do better and play with more skill.
I hate it too.
Wait you guys are crafting loadouts?
1000.00 0% Hotkeys. Like starcraft.
I've long made my goal amd ready for the expedition. I'm dropping in naked with only a recorder on every map.
For sure. I remember I saw someone else recommend it like 3 weeks ago and they got lashed, saying that people LIKE scrolling through shit and putting a loadout together because "they like having to think about it". I can't with some people lmfao
Game is crap. No one noticed that this magical place of sparanza is a damn menu...
Loadouts, gun presets, and organised stash spaces (ammo container, gun container, etc...)
Yes! I Made a seperate post about it!
It's easy when you just put a looting mk2 on and you're good to go😂
Half the reason I leave this game for hunt showdown for a while here and there as a break is the keybinds, loadouts, and getting into the next round pretty instantly
Ironically I love this about extraction games.
Anyone with software developer experience want to help build this? I have no faith that they'll make a loadout system anytime soon so I'm thinking of building this. Only thing I worry about is if it would get detected by their cheat system
Hard agree
If it’s streamlined too much, it becomes a clunky COD knockoff…but I am ALL FOR a more streamlined crafting mechanic. Good idea. I have total faith in Embark so far.
literally every day my friends and I end our session when we have a bad game and then it's like "ohh cool now we have to spend 5 minutes crafting crap to replace what was lost in 1 minute".
I'd say i've become very fast at crafting my kit and it still feels like a slog.
WE NEED THIS. The only two things that are not top tier in this game is that it has a shit expedition system and no quick craft loadout option…. Sadlyy
I used to get annoyed with it, but I now think that the way it works is correct.
Gear is cheap. You're never truly running out. There's ways to bounce back quickly.
So the only punishment you're getting for not returning the speranza is having to put your loadout together. Which I think is sort of good. Gather thoughts, rethink strategy, gear up.
"The game punishes you by wasting your time on not playing."
And you call this good design? Get lost.
Hey, get lost yourself. You don't have to play. It's just a game.
Plus it gives you a sec to think. Every time I've died I thought about it and realized I made a ton of mistakes to cause it(like yday I decided not to drop a bit of loot due to overweight with a rocketeer nearby).
It literally takes 2 minutes to craft a stitcher, ammo, light shield, lvl2 loot thingy, bandages and shield recharger. While your at it craft 5 of each. If someone starts shooting at you don't shoot back and you'll end up in a friendly lobby. Aggression based Matchmaking is a thing
I also upgrade all my guns to level 4, and fully kitted out with attachments. The point still stands that crafting your kit item by item is tedious.
So let's say they implement that and you save what, 1 minute, per raid. What are going to cry about next?
Lmao bro it’a simple QOL implementation request dude.
This is like someone at the office setting asking for “bulk upload button” for like an expense report that takes few minutes but tedious, but the some dumbass retorts back, “okay, so you save a minute. What are you going to complain about next?”
Calm the fuck down. Nobody loses by this being implemented, everyone wins, including you.
It's longer than one minute esp on controller that's the point. Changing a million screens to refine this recycle that craft this equip that is boring and takes you out of the momentum of the game. You might as well make people write "don't shoot I'm friendly" 100 times on the chalk board.
Yes I really want to see this dude craft loadout consisting of two level 4 weapons with all attachment slots, rechargers and bandages and what have you under a minute on a controller. What a clown.
Yeah 2 minutes is insane when it could be 5 seconds. Don't forget the extra 1-2 minutes of queue time of which you can't craft or upgrade anything during
Rounds can be as short as 10 minutes. You're telling me 1/3rd of my time spent in this game will just be in menus?
That's the magic of the free kit baby, goop up assembly or medical, take the downward zipline in medical and exfil in metros in less than 10 minutes, no hassle, all the fun in the world (if you're into pvp) and all of the goop you can want.
Running only free kit is in a way some form of gear fear and I will die on that hill lol.
how about survivor/crafter naked runs? i usually start my day naked and continue with some of the gear i found/crafted
I mean, naked/free kit runs are all viable and I don’t hate on them, it still doesn’t address the core issue of my post: lack of saved custom load outs and amount of time it takes to craft them while browsing through dreadful UI.
Not gear fear for me. Just bored as hell of re-crafting everything
>only 14 slots of goop.
Why even leave speranza.
14 slots of 3-5k goop that stacks in a hyper-spawn area that needs no breaching and takes hardly any time to get.
