timed extract is a fkn joke

[dylo]

absolute waste of time, there is no way to not get completely WRECKED as a full platoon spawns in your back... completely nonsense extract option, this ain't helldivers, we're not supposed to shoot a whole platoon, remember ? literally the main concept of the game

Best part is that they are standing right at exfil point even when you manage to sneak away.

Thats exactly what happened in my first ever run. Bunch of armed mfs spawned near exfil and just waited for me.

Add to it if you on accident picked up some high tech stuff, and you get mfs swarming the exfil, while hunter killers spawning 24\7. That was my final straw deciding to refund this tech demo xD

just run away and hide once u hit the timer..... and to boot if u read the forums only scorched earth has the timers.

[Juular]

Yeah, I don't mind other stuff so far, but dudes spawning to camp the extraction just for you or hunt for specifically you in a game where you're not supposed to matter is some artificial difficulty bs.

The only timed extract I was able to leave from was the scrapyard nexus when it was infested with androids, not soldiers.

That place only has this one extraction. It doesn't have a good hiding spot once activated and basically no cover. When its cyborgs it spawns around 10-12 of them in a couple of waves. Since its a corridor and they have to climb up to get to you its not too hard to deal with them.

But when it had regular soldiers there is no good cover to really hide behind and way too many spawned (like 8) so they just gunned me down.



I feel like these timed ones shouldn't really spawn enemies. If you messed up and have enemies on your tail then timed extractions are risky.
Or if they really want to keep some guards, maybe tune down the spawn rate. 12 cyborgs when you have a big advantage is fine, that many soldiers who always know your exact location might be a bit too much.

Timed extractions just make no sense. It basically makes it so those routes that have them are just semi unviable and often have patrols on them so you kinda have to fight, once had a exit blocked by a whole squad of medium infantry and an eco, all going back and forth round the exit, how the ♥♥♥♥ am I supposed to get out with that on the exit? Getting through the map can be difficult enough especially early on, timed extractions are basically impossible, personally I think they should be removed and replaced with the normal exit. Timed extractions offer nothing over regular ones and just seem like a great way to get you killed.

Elevator timed extraction in Mech Trench worlds easiest Timed Extraction you only have to deal with 5-8 Cyborgs.

Funny that was my first timed extraction. I came in the thread thinking "they aren't that bad," The I read your post and got put in my place.

Its just an ultimate survial quest, so you should go somewhere, find a squad of opposing fraction, lure em to extraction point and just run to a smoke hoping your cover survive long enough :)
just joking, timed gates are absolute trash.
its better they change em for a "locked" gates or something, where you should find a key to extract

[desuTHICC]

Yes timed extraction is a bit janky

[Robot Joe]

They seem very uhh work in progress. I hope they do something that makes sense with them like a vault door that slooowly has to open or a noisy ass elevator that has to make its way up your level.

but anyway most of these extractions you can just run off to avoid the ambush, or you're just dealing with piddly little cyborgs, really not a big deal lol

Same for ashen, activate it, run off to the side then either run past them or kill them. No problem.

You're not expected to stay there... the timer will run without you.

[Octarius]

Time extraction is literally few cyborgs rushing at you until timers is up. Where is the problem? Don't you have a shotgun or SMG?

[riles656]

All you gotta do is run over there and activate it real fast as soon as you spawn in, then run away and start looting elsewhere. No need to stay in that area for the timer to run out.
