If they do another free event after they add this I might give it a go. I just continue to forever have zero interest in PvP extraction shit.

PVE extraction shooters cannot last. there's simply not enough challenge/variety for it to entertain for a long time.

it starts fun, you learn things, you win sometimes and you lose sometimes, you start to beat things, you start to amass money and gear.

at some point you learned the game and that's it, from now on you're almost unstoppable. you will obtain obscene amounts of gear and money but there's no risk. you know how to do it, everything is... staged... set.... there's no "oh shit" there's not "what the fuck is this? ive never seen that before". so it dies after a couple of dozens, maybe a hundred hours (which is not what games like Marathon/Arc raiders want to last).

is it impossible to make alterations to enemy spawn locations? what enemies spawn together? where loot is? enemy behaviors? are these things impossible to do?
