This is Probably Petty But...

Discussion

I don't want the backstabbers and opportunists to have my rare guns!

Ok, the expedition is here and I’ve signed up, yay! I have a ton of extra stuff in my inventory that I should probably use… but most of the time I get shot while I’m fighting ARC, after I fall off something or after I’ve been befriended, and honestly, I get it, it’s way safer to attack someone when they’re at a disadvantage, especially on the new hurricane map. I can't be angry about what they're doing cuz it makes a lot of sense. It’s more like… I'm annoyed? That’s probably the best word I have for it. I understand why people play that way and I still want them to have fun even if it’s not my playstyle... but I still don't want to share my good loot with them haha.

So I feel like if I bring in my legendary or rare weapons I’m just donating them to whoever catches me at my worst moment... and I don’t want to give them my good guns. Maybe I just need to practice getting faster at recycling haha

Does anyone else feel this way? Or have any advice?

I’ve tried telling myself, “Girl it’s just a game. Let people have fun. Even the underhanded players deserve cool weapons! It’s better than them disappearing forever!” But that mindset still doesn’t really motivate me.

I’ve also tried being the opportunistic player, aka shooting people while they’re vulnerable. And yeah, it’s easy, and I got some ok goop, but… I don’t know. It just wasn’t fun for me. I kind of felt bad about it and couldn't bring myself to do it anymore. but ya know, each to their own just because I don't like it doesn't mean others can't.
