It could be a placebo so far, but I lost some helmets, so I decided to go without one

Not once did I get a headshot so far, in fact, my first death was into a heart, which I don't even remember when it happened before

A single shot to the heart passing through III+ Armor

I am getting mostly shot at the vest now

I am speculating that wearing the helmet brings more possible headshot lock ons

I cannot confirm this, but I have also been sprinting full speed, with zero headshots, just body shots

When I wear a helmet a burst sprint is like 50% headshot chance

My possible explanation is that when you wear armor, they go for it, and if you have a helmet on, they also lock on, but in a very direct way many times landing in your face, rather than on the sides of the helmet. Yes, side helmet shots happen, but face shots are common

As title says I don't even see a reason to level him up

You get only half for things you normally would from other vendors

His safe is only good at starting points when you are planning of saving valuables for some task

But, how many valuables are task items, not that many

On top of it, you are constantly searching for his location across the vast map

Why not give a safe option as rank 1, even if safe is expensive, but actually make some weapons that are improvised as his inventory.

Oh, I don't know, something wacky and fun, like AK74U with an acog

Or M4 with half of barrel chopped off to 7 inch and handguard large enough to fit suppressor underneath it, and not in front

Improvised explosives such as trip mines and booby traps

But, right now...I don't see a thing that I want from him

It would be cool if he was also on rotation for some high value items

Today he wants a radar at higher price than others, tomorrow it's the rare antigen at way higher price

Items that are actually rare selling for higher than other vendors

That would actually make it worth it to travel there

Also, it runs lower than some armor

After going there for about 2 weeks now, and I only find it now

Last couple of times I went, I saw a guy sitting in Tiger Bay Armory, it was closed by the way, electricity was also cut off. I open it up, and see him on his phone in resting pose waiting for respawns. The whole Tiger Bay mall is looted, every cash drawer, everything you can think of, I think I found 2 cameras and 2 watches, and I doubt it was something he missed, he probably left it.

Suddenly respawn happens as I walk into that door, I calmly proceed to the crates to see what's in them, nothing of value, and I slowly walk away as he was already rushing past me.

I calmly walk out, and hear "HEY! Thanks for the Laser Designator!" then followed by more arrogant bs

You know it's not really about laser designator for me, it's just horrible people like that exist, they would be willing to sit for 30 minutes plus locked inside of that room in hopes someone will miss that opportunity by also locking the doors prior. Then to rub that in while I was simply casually seeing what was available considering he is the same person that looted everything in said mall.

This "culture" needs to end, and one way to do it is to create some type of cool down for the person who sits on crates in near vicinity, this might actually work

Imagine if that person looted said crates, and decides to hang back, allow the crates to respawn the loot, but only for new people arriving in that radius of the crate. Imagine loot for same player respawn in 60 minutes, for new players the 30 minute

This prevents the same person abusing the system.

But, instead of being stopped they see zero incentive to actually stop doing so. Then they also rub it in other person's face.

It's like "cool, dude, have your designator, but don't act like I somehow fd your life over by coming into the Armory where you purposefully closed the doors and waited for crates for over 30 minutes, while also flying to crates like your life depends on it"

It's kind of disgusting behavior in terms of thirsty players that clearly are high rank with their biggest backpack in the game waiting for more stuff to steal right under your nose.

It's not intelligent, it's not grindy, it's just cheap, and on top to make others feel bad while the whole room was looted in the first place.

By him...

I already passed the mission for collection of samples, do I need these things, or can I destroy them now?

Before I redownloaded BF3

A lot of spoofing, is this real and if it is actually populated, I am in USA and this is Germany server

I mean AI factions, you got Lamang rogue element near Tiger Bay completely ignoring Lamang Army and not engaging them
I also saw some patrols ignoring rival AI factions

I am not asking in terms of why of technical terms, as I am sure it is to save resources, but it takes away a lot from the lore element

Can you imagine how much more enjoyable the game would be to see AI factions fighting each other sometimes, and seeing who wins that battle, as it's not always about the guns or ammo, as those flip flop guys can wreck you

I would love to see some random AI fights that are on probability of said patrols, and you can swoop in between them
