This map is FILLED with surv loot, in a heavily unoptimized run I did (I missed a LOT of gear and could have done it faster). Within 5 minutes of roundstart I had acquired:
Flamer
Mk2, Barrel charger
7+1 AP mags
Deathsquad level gloves
Autoinjector pouch
HPR kit
50 metal
50 plasteel
Small Motion Detector
WY encryption key
Superior Welding Goggles (because some engis spawn without them)
If I had spent a little bit longer scavenging, I would have gotten
100 more metal
50 more plasteel
RADIOPACK
A PMC helmet
Sentry spawner
And if I made some detours while grabbing a breaching charge I would have access to
I am aware that there’s a radiopack+designator at the bottom of the map but it’s a bit too far out of the way, if you want to reach it you’ll likely have spent a long time getting it and thus have the threat of drones running around Lockdown.
Any other strats? I don’t know any hold spots other than holding a checkpoint if someone gets power on.
There are also like 3 semi-easy to get to custom built shotguns scattered around which is insane. Survs will more than likely be VERY strong on hybrisa once people start to learn the map.
Thank god i told the map maker about this last week. And thank god he said he was gonna nerf it. I just hope he just dosn’t take away the SUPER buffs, and leaves everything else there.
I still find it funny how on 1 occasion a Synth used it in self-defence, and then within a few days there was some angry PR accusing Synths of overly abusing the prod.
I did a log dive and found that the prod had, if I recall right, only been used half a dozen times in the last half year and most of the time it was being used by Humans against other Humans.
