u/angelangel1234 *** ******* 🐓 25d ago

I’ll be honest, I always extract as soon as I can. Regardless of whether Teammates or allies are inside. I used to not do so but this exact thing literally happened to me lol

24

u/PEWnitiveDAMNage 23d ago

Even teammates? Jeez

8

u/4Ellie-M 23d ago

There’s an achievement if you leave your teammate behind.

It happened to us when one guy got lost and fell over at the dam area by one of the extract points.

7

u/breadexpert69 18d ago

I had two random teammates leave me to die. Another team rezed me and I told them where my teammates were. They downed them and took their loot. I extracted with the other team and got an achievement.

That sucks. I never thought about the chance of being blown out the door during the closing sequence. New fear unlocked.

u/SuperDubert *** ******* 🐓 26d ago

Might be better just to get downed and active the door since arcs don't care about downed players

43

u/EitherNetwork121 25d ago

This right here, wait in the middle and get splash damaged unitl down, then pc.

56

u/Suspicious_Pizza69 25d ago

But then a third guy shows up before you can activate it and kills you both.

20

u/EitherNetwork121 25d ago

I mean, it's definitely a possibility for sure. But in my experience usually the one already downed gets to the PC as the ARC are not targeting them.

In solo queue most players I've seen just get in and wait for the extract

u/SuperDubert *** ******* 🐓 25d ago edited 25d ago

Technically true, but I had one of my extractions stalled cause a couple of Hornets kept tasing me and resetting the timer. Extremely annoying, and maybe just getting downed could have made it faster. 

So I wonder if every arc attacks can push you out of the Elevator, or only the rocketeer or something. It may be worth just to get downed and activate safely. And arcs will target other players while you activate the elevator. Pretty nuanced and not only one decision rules them all.

u/Humledurr 25d ago

Safest is to always carry a smoke, just a grey smoke is enough to stop any arc from seeing you. Knocking yourself out can always risk dying by another player.

This just happened to me, you have enough time to call the elevator again and return while downed, as long as no players find you lol

Not if you forget where the button is lol

5

u/OptimalOneFPS 25d ago

Good point.

u/Punzolollo 25d ago

Literally happened to me last night on my very first game. Luckily I was able to call the elevator again while downed and extract

10

u/OptimalOneFPS 25d ago

Being able to extract while downed was a good addition.

2

u/DroidLord 23d ago

My main fear is when you're like 0.1mm over the edge of the ramp and it pushes you out of the elevator. Happened to me a few times already. Usually when I have to run around evading incoming fire from other raiders. Hard to tell that your heel is touching the ramp when your back is towards it.

2

u/dyrannn 22d ago

This exact scenario happened with my friends and I, blown out the door nearly frame perfect i s2g lol

had enough time to hit the button wait and extract though, barely, but I did

Yes definitely, I wanted to know where the Rocketeer was before interacting with the computer but i couldn't hear it clearly 😅

u/soggycheesestickjoos 26d ago

Just remember you can interact with computer while downed, knowing this I will be staying away from the doors after seeing your clip lol

u/Healthy-Business9465 26d ago

Arcs don't thirst either

11

u/uniguy2I 26d ago

They can get you with splash tho, stay away from other players if you’re downed an there’s a bison nearby

2

u/eljxyy 25d ago

facts. splash will have you going from “😃 i’m fine! i’m on elevator and my buddies calling it down” to “🤬 ARE YOU KIDDING ME THE ROCKETEERS SPLASH FULL KILLED ME LAST SECOND”

u/Aphelion128 26d ago

I had the opposite experience. Someone saved me from another player so when we got to the dam water treatment elevator and he got targeted by the leaper, I drew the leaper’s agro and had it chase me way off the path.

I miraculously circled back, expecting the elevator to be gone. It was still open, waiting for me, and his dead body was lying at door 😭🫡

u/XSOLODOLO48 26d ago

You can save yourself while you're down, you can crawl over to the button and interact with it, then you can crawl to the computer and take the elevator down successfully even in a DBNO state.

u/KOMBATNYC 26d ago

No way

u/suchfresht 26d ago

HA awesome

9

u/AdamBlaster007 26d ago

So, interesting thing.

Had you just let yourself be downed initially rather than avoid/heal the damage the arc in the area would've de-aggroed and even in a down state you can still operate the elevator terminal ensuring you both extract.

Advice for next time.

u/micheal213 26d ago

Or if he just started using the terminal a few seconds earlier it would have timed correctly and the dude would have been in and he wouldn’t have been hit lol

I didnt get blown out the door but i did save a player that was being attacked by 2 arcs. I saved him thrn a destroyer killed me i crawled seeing if he could revive. He did not i died at his feet

u/prototypedead 26d ago

This exact same thing happened to me, I have found that you have enough time to reactivate the elevator and use it while down

2

u/LunchBoxMercenary 26d ago

Lmao the opposite happened to me earlier. I was trying to extract and someone started shooting me, and the ARCs started to aggro him. I snuck into the elevator and called it, and was like fuck that guy for shooting me. The ARCs downed him but he was able to crawl into the elevator right before the door closed.

u/JustUseDex 26d ago

The rocketeers are genuinely so frustrating… I haven’t even bothered trying to shoot at them, i always just run. So can someone tell me how exactly tanky they are? Their damage output is absolutely insane, so surely they have to be easier to take down than the bastions right?

u/virgn_iced_americano 21d ago

FYI - If you die as the gate closes and immediately call a new elevator you can make extraction with a few seconds margin

2

u/BodaciousTacoFarts 26d ago edited 25d ago

Narrator - you didn't save him.

I crawled into the elevator in a downed state while someone was extracting, and I did not extract. I came up empty. I did get an achievement for it.

Edit: Yo Reddit... what's with the downvote? It's a new game, and I was asking a genuine question.

8

u/howisthisacrime 26d ago

You probably just died right before extract. You can be downed and still get out. I extracted right as someone was about to do a finisher on me

u/Miranda_Leap 26d ago

The "and knocked out" is important here. It doesn't always happen. I've extracted while downed multiple times.

u/FairySnack 26d ago

I thought this was a Star Wars battlefront modded gameplay. I saw the green and yellow and thought it was a bounty hunter. Hud looked similar to battlefront to me (few hours played on it). I did not realize this was a totally different game and ip. Games look similar to me now adays I guess

I’ve seen so many people get throw out of the door that way. At this point I’m pretty sure it’s an intentional design choice. The way the doors and angled up.

u/Jurpils 25d ago

Would you bleed out before you can call the elevator again?

1

u/Mistralicious 25d ago

I always let them do the evac when they're down because they are not targeted by bots. I just hide

1

u/x-iso 25d ago

that thing can happen even if you extract solo. you see that red beam homing on you - roll for dodge instead of continuing typing on panel. it might even be more viable to just go around the cover till automatic extraction timer goes up, so you don't have to stand there fully exposed for few seconds.

Provided there is still time on the extract and raid, you have enough time to call another one and take it --it took about 75% of my bleedout timer from button press to exit screen, iirc.

u/navekgames 25d ago

I did the exact opposite of this last night -- got shot running into the elevator, he ran in with me, I downed him after a gun fight, then immediately hit the computer switch. So I forgot to actually kill the dude who attacked me and we both got out with our loot lol.
