I've never really paid much attention to the challenges or seasonal content, but my interest was recently piqued by a certain challenge for Reach with a unique reward. I am of course talking about the challenge "Because you begged" and the goofy Mister Chief helmet that is rewarded upon its completion.

It's well known that this challenge is finicky at best and bugged at worst, but completing it isn't necessarily my problem: I don't even see the challenge in-game anymore. I'm aware that this challenge was part of the previous season, and I'm worried that it has become un-achievable.

TL;DR Is it still possible to complete challenges from previous seasons, or am I forever locked out of owning

After countless runs, few wins, and no previous utility post-boss to make it up the tower (or back to the surface at all, for that matter), I finally got a good enough run to beat the tower and return to the mountain.

I want this run to go on for as long as possible while continuing to make meaningful accomplishments. Ending the game is out of the question, so I considered getting the required orbs for NG+; however, I read that a better way to get more perks, HP, and spells is actually to go the parallel worlds. I'm not sure if I can make the journey though, as my main mining spell is meteor. Even if I had black holes, I couldn't find any Ambrosia or teleport spells during this run.

A friend and I are considering getting into competitive matchmaking, but I'm not sure what our best strategy would be. I, at least, am familiar with basic 6v6 strats and callouts, but since we'll be playing with 4 other strangers, I want to have a good grip on what we can do to make the biggest impact on the match possible in the case our teammates aren't communicating and/or cooperating well.

I searched through the subreddit for an answer and didn't find anything too helpful.

So, how do I deal with these skilled snipers that are wiping my team? I know to avoid sightlines and to flank/spam them when possible, but the rest of my team just keeps feeding them even when I call out for them to play more carefully.

My fault for getting invested in a casual match, I guess. But even so, what is the best way for a single player to cancel a skilled enemy sniper? Flanking and bombing work sometimes, but in the time I spent getting into position, he killed my medic and two of our power classes.

Do I just have to get good as sniper and counter-snipe?

Bonus: My friend recently got into the

I was doing some quests for Loners in Cordon while there to clear out the vehicles at the Military Checkpoint when, out of nowhere, for seemingly no reason, certain Loners started shooting me on sight. After using the debug console to investigate, I realized it was because of low personal goodwill.

I previously had dynamic faction relations on by accident, and disabled it after receiving a notice that Freedom had gone to war with Ecologists. Some of the goodwill between factions is still low as a result, but not to the point where they should be shooting me, especially since the system is turned off now. Also, they didn't shoot at me when I arrived at the cordon. Ironically, they only opene

For reference, I am playing with the realistic version of Azri's Radiation Overhaul. I have the option enabled for radiation clicks to only play if you have a geiger counter (necessary for this mod), but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working. I've tried holding the geiger counter, just having it in my detector slot, and just leaving it in my inventory–nothing works. Perhaps it would work in a different detection mode, but I can't figure out how to swap modes. In fact, the only thing I can do with the counter is pressing '8' to briefly see the current radiation value, which isn't very useful since the whole point is to avoid areas that would have radiation.

What am I doing wrong? Thi

Even with Heavy Pockets, the trader in Dead City never has any high tier equipment, much less the Ace SEVA. I've tried checking his stock as Clear Sky, Ecologist, and as Duty in merc disguise with a truce from Snitch, all with Heavy Pockets. His inventory is always its default.

Is there another trader who sells this suit? It's arguably the best general purpose suit in the game and at this point it's a personal goal to obtain one legitimately

A friend and I are at the final stage of the game. He's running a ranged build, and I'm running melee. We have the best in slots for our classes at this point, and I was lucky enough to get the Vampire Knives just after Plantera.

Our tactic for just about everything at that point has been me tanking and him dealing damage, with the Vampire Knives being the catalyst for this. Enter Moonlord, who's tongue attack prevents lifesteal and is seemingly impossible to dodge. It goes without saying that we've been having some trouble. Not only is the ML much harder than any other boss or event in the game, but now our strategy has fallen apart too.

The way I see it, the best thing for us to do w

I just got to the Pripyat Outskirts with Rogue. As soon as I spoke with Strelok, I went over to Yar and Cashier to trade. As soon as he saw me, Yar hopped off his table and opened fire on me. Cyka blyat.

I'm playing as Duty and Yar is a member of Freedom, so it makes sense that he'd want to shoot me, right? Well, I've played through the game as Duty twice before and Yar has always been neutral towards me. For some reason, this time, he started shooting.

He may not be the most important trader in the game, but since this is unusual, I'd like to fix it if I can. Any solutions?

TL;DR: Yar is hostile to my Duty player character when he is usually neutral. I need a fix.

Kind of a mouthful.

I'm curious of how one goes about pricing an item like this, so links to your sources/a description of your thought process would be much appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time!

It's late at night and because I was so impressed with the results of my last post, I thought I might as well bounce this craving off you guys before I hit the sack.

Basically, I want to play a game with a world as atmospheric and deep as Skyrim's, but with the convenience of being able to have a couple of people drop in/out. The game itself doesn't need to be an RPG-- it could just be an exploration game or the like. It just needs the atmosphere.

For those of you who saw my previous post, it's worth stating that this is completely unrelated to the types of game I was looking for a few days ago.

Title.

However...

It gets much more specific.

The game should be mechanically and graphically immersive, a decent time sink and/or have lots of replayability, as well as relatively easy to jump into/pick up (minimal slow starts/sharp learning curves).

I know for a fact that chaotic, skill based PvP (in particular, FPSs) is a turn off for one of us. MOBAs are also a pretty huge turn off for all of us. The grind is icky, and so is repetitiveness and monotonous mechanics (cue Elite Dangerous space travel).

Finally, games we play currently and games we have given up due to boredom/distaste (by no means a comprehensive list-- just off the top of my head):
