Stranded 3 Stage - 14/08/2026

Post by Decker »

Here we go again, another assault and as always gives no real indication of the stage 3 weapon.
Turns out I wasn't just old and grumpy - I was right to be pissed right off!

Agreed. The Stage 1 weapon has an interesting start on attributes. Regardless, the Stage 3 weapon must have enough power to be effective. That hasn't happened in a while.

I've started a 9-day Commander + Deputy to win the 14* assortment of SMs.

The gear set also has some notable perks for assault weapons (+172%) and headshots (+172%). The Calibrated Scope feature usually jumps to headshots so there is a 344% bonus on a hit. Then there is the F-key that drops all shields and kills all drones. Not sure how long it lasts but it recharges in 15 seconds. If the Stage 3 weapon has Symbiosis, it might be interesting.

Decided to use a commander this time (and for the first time) and 7 day deputy. The snap seems much quicker than usual which could help.

But true to form can't flaming start the game up again!

I wish GL would sort out this "snap to head" shite. Had 2 assaults closet and a sniper afar and I couldn't get the weapon to aim at the sniper, next minute....DEAD

Yes, truly a disadvantage of "snap to". One would think that if you "snapped off" it would cancel the unyielding attachment to the target. But no.

It's a big drawback but this time it is faster and a bit more accurate, I've been close a couple of times but found it best not to fight against it.
