    Ahhhhh PVE Survival and pain pills

    OK is it just me or have the devs been playing with the % of pain pills to injections in the PVE survival game? In the last 3 days, i regularly have 8-10 pain pills before I find an injection to prevent the dang infections.

    This is getting ridiculous I know RNG hits sometimes but only in the last week has it been getting very noticeable the difference usually is around 60-40 pills to injections. Now way-way more almost 70-80% pain pills only...

    Plus as my times I can spend in the game before having to extract is way down! Normally around 2 hours and can get 6 survival caches to 1 hour 30 to -40 and only just get 5 and rush to extract so anyone else notice that something is up?

    If you alternate pill, med, pill, med. Your time you can do it lasts longer. I have notice if I get out of sync the pill and meds start to burn faster. I have lasted more then 2 hours and then I have occasions where after an hour I start feeling rushed. Someone told me that food and drink can cause them not to last as long. I have been unable to verify that though.

    The stupid infection and the mode being time shouldn't be in this (why can't it be a real survival game) you get the whole map to play in from top to bottom trying to survive a harsh storm/winter, meds/food/clothes etc etc etc with a single base to find, once found you can use it but no fast travel, you go out resource gathering/crafting and surviving gainst the weather and NPC's

    Thanks Yodaman yup I knew that been around since the beta But I play Survival Alot and I have noticed in the last 1-2 weeks the pain pills to injections to be found is way overbalanced in the pain pills.

    Last night 7 pain pills discovered one after another in med bags it's getting to be a real pattern and the closer to the DZ you get the worse the ratio I was just calling it out and seeing if it was just my group that has noticed!

    You're carrying 20 LMGs?
    You must have biceps like Schwarzneggar

    Survival should have a timer free version, so I can go explore (Personally, I'd like a 24-hour version, but I can see that would add saving and loading issues).
    You should automatically have 1 water and 1 energy bar on you at the start. No agent would go in empty-handed.
    There should be a way to increase med carrying capacity. And a way to destroy clothing or throw them away.
    More rewards at the end would also be a bonus. It's hard to talk myself into playing Survival when I know an LZ boss run would get me 10x the loot

    We have all gear and we only go in with a pistol and you are worried about having a water and a snack? Oh Good Grief Charlie Brown! LOL

    Didn't realise people still played for loot
    You should give survival ago whilst yeah the loot ain't great the game play outweighs the rewards for me.

    Loot has always been terrible. I still prefer as the best part of the whole game.
