"The Belts"

[Naii Starwing]

I was rescued from The Pitt by three brave gigachads who swept in, found the right area in under a minute, then ran with me through to the end. I was stuck soloing and was almost out of ammo. This game needs more of these people.

most of the players are like that ...
i mean if this is the first time you got impressed by strangers helping you, then i can only say: welcome to the real game

Not knowing your level, it's hard to say what your experience to date has been. But make a public Expedition Team and you will almost always have a few more people show up. Hopefully ones who know what they are doing.

Yes, that is the way to do it. I get lost all the time. Make the team and even if no one has joined start and some may join later. Auto-Axe is your friend or Chainsaw and best PA. Look at the direction finder at bottom, but sometimes? I couldn't find the poison canister, it wasn't anywhere. The guy on team left, then some came back, because I was in there looking so long, and then it reset? or did they talk to Hex? anyway I was able to finish.

ive done the pitt about 20 times and lemme tell you i get lost in the belts and furance, the canal and the forge area, ive no clue really, they honestly need a map and to fix the quest markers to find the actually loot you need more easy.

[Bored Peon]

If you are close enough to an objective it places a marker. I think it is roughly 15-20m or so. Keep an eye on the radar for these markers because you can easily walk right past one if it is on an upper or lower level than you.

Meaning go the the general area then run around in that general area and you should be able to find them all if you ensure you actually walked most of the area.

There is also signs on the wall pointing which way to go, if you near one of those signs then chances re you are leaving the objective area.

The ingots gave me a rough time for a bit until I figured out there is 3-4 ingots before entering the Foundry. If you find three outside the foundry you can easily find the last two inside.

Only the team lead can talk to Hex, Wicker, Lennox, or the saboteur. Sometimes the quests will get stuck and items don’t spawn, or it doesn’t recognize that it’s time to let you destroy something, When that happens, the lead can just exit the foundry and come back in. On very rare occasions, they may have to leave the entire expedition. But when they come bsck in, it picks up where you left off.

There are supposedly 15 possible spawn locations outside the foundry and another 15 inside. I know 13 on the outside, and have 4 or 5 on the inside.

Yeah I have seen people able to get 4 outside.
I go for 3 outside and call it good to save time.

I have a route I run when looking for Steel, that ties in with either the first objectives, or getting me from The Penn to The Foundry. If I haven't found them during that time, I know enough places inside to look.

First few times we ran UD, took us almost an hour to finish. Now, not so much.

[Arcanix]

Hats off to the ones helping out unconditionally.

I think I spent about an hour on a solo run of Union Dues. I went everywhere and unlocked like everything. Walked away with 3-4 Technical Data and a crapload scrap.

I love soloing the Pitt, but I made a group the other day and yeah, 3 chads in top-tier gear appeared and just swatted the whole map. It was fun, but I still like soloing this little map.

It is very hard to find those "in between groups."

You either solo it which takes about thirty minutes and means most likely the trogs are going to screw you over on keeping the three alive at the end.

You get the people who have done it like a 100 times that makes it feel like you aint doing anything because they do everything so quickly.

Once in a great while you find those people who fall in between and that can be frustrating because they have been carried by the "done it 100 times" people and are still not sure about how to do it.

For Union Dues at least, the easiest way to deal with the trogs and 3 AI allies for me at the end while solo is to use a flamer with friendly fire. Makes it pretty easy to keep them healed and topped off in-between mopping up the trogs.

How do people come into your game in The Pitt when you're doing it solo?
