HOW WAS THAT A DIFFICULTY 1?!!?

[Viper Wolf]

I played my 4th game just now, still had my starting Character game loaded said it was Difficulty 1 and I tried to go do the train station on my own, I didn't find any others yet hoping to meet there. I was swarmed by like 3-4 constant runners you kill them and they just come right back I could get anything done ran out of medical supplies and ran back to hide in the bar. I went to type to try and ask for help only to find out some how within like 15 minutes the whole lobby was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dead and I was on my own without medical supplies. I went back and once again 3 runners on me I kill them and start turning the pipes and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 4 more just race up and kill me before I could even finish?! How on Difficulty 1 are you spawning 4 runners at the same location to come get my ass?!

Yea I think the game bugs out with the scaling I was in a difficulty 2 once and out of a full server only got out with me and two others, everyone else died and last guy missed the chopper. This was before the big update as well so I would not be to surprised if this was still an issue with incorrect difficulty scaling.

Guideline 1: Noise attracts runners
Guideline 2: Don’t try to solve the red circle location alone
Guideline 3: The sooner you gather with other players, the safer it will be
May everyone in hell be safe and sound

Dont complain about the difficulty if you try to rush the main objective alone without going for the supplies locations first(Church,Bar, Ranger Station,etc)

I feel like DIfficulty 1 is harder than its supposed to be at times. Not sure. But yea skill issue. Wait till you get chased by 10+ runners.

Difficulty could be 1, but zone is threat level 8.

Once you get past the first point of interest zones increase, but main objectives increase the global threat so if you really are behind you'll be dealing with more mobs with less resources.

You simply need to move fast before you wake up the area you're in once they start forming a horde you'll need to go loud with guns and bombs.

Train station is one of the hardest to solo along with check point. if you're not fast enough it's better to just run past and link up with other members then come back with more teammates to get a clear.

difficulty 1-3 responders can solo move fast and freely to cover more ground, but once it hits 4-5 then everyone gets serious and naturally work together.

The game is very easy and here is why:

When you spawn hold "C" to open your compass. It also shows the location of nearest teammates and almost always there is someone within 100ish meters.

If you sprint to their location and stick with them it's hard to fail objectives like Train station.
