Is DLSS5 essentially just taking a screenshot of the game and feeding it into a generative AI that gets to decide what it thinks it should look like with little control over the output from the artists besides color grading? Yes.

• High Visibility: Unlike standard glowsticks, the Hope Flare shoots a high-velocity projectile that leaves a lingering green trail in the sky.
• The “Hope” Buff: If a Raider is in the “downed” state and the flare is fired within a certain radius, it could provide a small visual UI cue or simply act as a clear navigational point.
• Risk vs. Reward: While it encourages the raider to stay in the game, it also alerts every other Raider in the area to your location.

Let’s Discuss:

I’m curious about the balance: Should the flare be bright enough for everyone on the map to see? Do you think the hope of knowing help is coming for the downed Raider …

What features would make it amazing? (These pics are concept art, might be from the new map but not confirmed)

Every other night my friends and I like to get together and relax while fishing with Ospreys on top of the Dam control tower. We save up materials and weapons specifically for this goal. (basically our endgame)
This time I decided to treat my friends to Bobcat 4’s with kinetic convertors and the best attachments and Osprey 4’s with extended barrel and mags. We never splurge like this on our fishing trips, but the moment we did it this one time we end up in this scenario.

The guy blatantly calls out over voice comms what weapons we have (bobcat and osprey ivee’s he calls them), that we are upstairs and that we are all holding heavy fuse grenades.
We got demotivated and just ended up rushing them and ultimately lost our gear.

What’s up with this Embark?

Just a few whacky and quirky ideas I had for possible side-grades and upgrades to the three basic shields that we already have. Mostly in-game, I find myself lacking ways to spend all the resources that pile up in my stash. So here’s a vague concept for a few more reasons to acquire and feud over specific high-end item. More ways for players to “protect” themselves is something that’s rather underdeveloped currently and there are infinite possibilities here.

I kept the shield rarities simple, focusing on mitigation performance familiarity rather than raw material cost.

The original

There’s so many times where I could use a zipline, and there is plenty rope laying around. It would be great to craft ziplines in raid.
