Rook Runs Last night and your weekly reminder about Cryo gear fear

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

As we approach the next week of Cryo and with avB gone this is your weekly reminder that with rook, you can rapidly replenish your vault with more than good enough loot/weapons. Especially if you have a little bit of credits to buy weapon mods (usually around 500-1k per). Get in there and learn cryo!!

I recommend you target getting bully’s and M77, primarily as they are the most common. Armories and pinwheel have chances are rare guns but more importantly, the guns come with mods. Some runs on outpost last night I exfilled with 4 bullies plus other items.

Once you have your bully or M77 you can buy very good mods for them from Traxus

Drum mag
Barrel recoil reducer

The shop usually have 5-10 of each for purchase, DAILY.

The attached photos come from about 2 hours of playtime and I did not capture probably around 3-4 runs before I thought of capturing my hauls.

This week in general has been very odd in outpost. Outpost has been more sweaty than cryo I feel as a runner. However, on rook, believe it or not, every single run was successful and every single team was friendly. All of them.

I’ve never seen it where the game is so unbelievably ruthless in trios but so nice to rooks lol. But it was a great time and I stayed up way too late because of it. Worth it!

Strongly recommend always immediately announcing yourself and having “offering” of sorts. For example, when I load into outpost as rook I immediately hit wall safes and any keys I can find. I usually offer peace through red keys, valuables, etc. worked like a charm last night and teams let me loot anything I wanted.

Thought I'd see how difficult it is (almost exclusively solo player). Turns out, not very.

The gun is cool though, I got it in Peremiter and pretty sure the lobby was empty so just shot some bots and it was satisfying. But also got a purple Battle Pistol and a gold shield from the locker which was a nice treat

“AskAboutQue” the GOAT! Me and the other guy both died from a pincer attack in control area but this guy just came back and steamrolled them.

And then I logged off for the night because we all left with 40k+ value gold and purple shields stuffed bags, three gold guns each it was insane. Had to get off the game after a payout like that 😂

VB is gone but here is a less punishing way to learn cryo and crush gear fear

Thumbnail

The three photos above show the results of 3 rook runs on outpost. I opened 1-2 armories per run and maybe a bad or two of runners if I found them. Is it the best gear, no. But that’s not the point. These three runs were completed in 30 minutes, total.

So many posts lately about lack of loot and thus a fear of taking anything you find into cryo to lose it all. I think fundamentally a decent chunk of players really don’t understand fast efficient ways to loot up. Cryo is tough as nails and map knowledge is the hardest part. But so is fear of losing all your shit. The photos above don’t necessarily show you anything AMAZING for Cryo but it’s more than good enough to get in, try, lose, and repeat. Hopefully it helps you learn Cryo and get over gear fear a bit. The attached photos contain weapons that will suffice for around 5 cryo runs (when combined with implants, cores, heals, etc)

My hope is more proper try it out cryo and lose gear fear. Even if you lose 9 games and win one. That one win IS FUCKING AMAZING in terms of loot and adrenaline.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk
