People who main Demolitions, how do you deal with people taking stuff from your locker?

I understand your point but I’d consider that an overreaction.

Maybe the Marcus was unaware of the purpose of the locker, a new player perhaps who doesn’t realise the benefit of each classes’ skill cards. Or maybe he really just was a selfish moron.

However, most people may be unaware the weapons locker was specifically for you. It’s not like your name is labelled on the side of it.
In a public game with minimal communication, most people feel entitled to whatever resources are infront of them, wether they put in the effort to create it or not.

Maybe the Engineer intended it for you in your first match, but unless he used chat to specify it then the Marcus wouldn’t feel like he’s doing much wrong. Also, did you use chat yourself to ask him?

A similar point applies to the second example with Clayton as, despite you making it, maybe he thought it was for his Mulcher/Torque Bow as part of the team effort to win.

The third example is interesting, but has a simple explanation. As the other person was also a Demolitions class, he could’ve assumed the Locker was for him and some kind-hearted soul had placed a Boomshot on it for his convenience.

Sure it could sound like excuses for all 3 people but at the end of the day who knows?

It’s Public Matchmaking. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Liaise in the chat if no mic often solves issues, unless they’re proper dickheads

I agree, just ask them in the chat and if they don’t react for whatever reason I’ll just leave happily knowing they’ll probably fail a few waves later

Instead of quitting immediately, I’d at least type in the quick chat asking them not to take any weapon they see from lockers. A lot of the time these people dont understand the unwritten rules of Horde, so explaining it to them could go a long way. If the problem persists, then yeah, I usually grab their weapons and chuck them while also blocking their path before quitting lol. Petty AF

… however most of these issues can be fixed by sticking to customs and playing in higher difficulties. My Horde experience skyrocketed after deciding to only play incon - master Customs.

Once you buy a weapon locker, give your teammates a heads-up stating that, “This weapon locker is exclusively mine.”, via chat-box or mic.

If players don’t adhere to this, it might be they are inconsiderate or they don’t understand English.

I was playing demo a few weeks ago. We had a couple lockers and I suicided a few times to get some boomshots so I have 3 I’m rotating. We get a tactician that joins the game a few waves in and shortly after I notice he’s taking my boomshots and putting them on a different locker for himself to use. Guess he didn’t want to bother using his ult for ammo and getting his own stock of boomshots. Moral of the story is morons are everywhere online.

Where I was still waiting for a response to the link I tossed you yesterday unless you were feeling lazy and didn’t bother reading through all that text.

You’re mistake was starting the game with a lvl 8 veteran to begin with. I would have ducked out of that lobby seeing that.

Another possible solution when playing with randoms is to go locker-less: use the ammo regen perk and fire explosives judiciously. Protect yourself. Maybe this is the design of the bullet boost card.

I completely sympathize so I rarely play with randoms. If our squad drops to 4 and we can’t find a 5th, master is still doable. If the squad drops to 3 or 2 then it’s time to do escape. If I’m solo and on before my friends I might work on my Jack.

I was being lazy lol.

I’ll get around to it eventually I’m sure

#23

I don’t use lockers anymore, I’m fine with ammo regen perk, it recharges slowly my explosive ammo but I also use grenades now with the new card and also switch between explosives and assault rifles to get the full potential of my class. I have it at level 20 with all lvl 6 cards.

I had a Tactician the other day constantly nicking my Boomshots. I don’t mean borrowing, I mean, zero ammo in Boomshot, let’s refill it with a fresh one off the locker rather than putting my empty on the locker with spare slots. Smh.

Ha, well personally I’d prefer to see ignorant morons fail by specifically not helping and being a major inconvenience (moving ammo boxes out of reach as Jack, moving barriers when a Marksman is unaware, etc) to the best of my ability.

Good times.

You don’t deal with them, it’s that simple. Because lockers don’t have a function to lock / assign to a single player. What you do instead is max out the ammo refill and camp the ■■■■ out of ammo box, that should give you 4/5 explosive ammo refill each round.

Or you just don’t play daily frenzy and search for custom games instead. Ppl on custom games respect lockers almost all the time.

What is there to say?
I kick em. That way they learn.

Most players are noob/casual and too chicken to play Demolitions or Engineer. All they know is Gunner and Combat Medic. They lack any horde etiquette and team play. They literally don’t know how to respawn and get fresh amo.

True Fahz and True Lizzie have become entitled thinking they are going to out do a demo when push comes to shove.

#28

I mean, I’ve made a JD rage quit before because I was destroying every wave with Fahz lol.

He’d moved up in front of the barriers and everything lol.

That’s amazing. Why do people quit over that? A win is a win. It’s a 5 player team.
