I’m almost always at work during the wednesday streams, so I usually just catch the VOD afterwards.
But I’m not a big streaming fan in general, so maybe I’m in the minority here.

You guys are not alone
Personally i don´t like streams that much and was busy during the time, but i wanted to know if there were any new news.
Nobody on discord or Forum talked about the stream, so i watched half of it and I wasted my time, not a single bit of information.
In fact only a certain comment from a certain user that has some inside intel was the only thing that hinted that if no problems appear there will be something big waiting for us during or After the 2º year game anniversary.
I like Pontus, but in terms of news it was a waste of time.

Along the lines of news, any idea of whether there will be a January update or what the roadmap for 2021 looks like? I know trade secrets cant be shared, but interested in what else they would like to work at and when we can look for things.
Then again, Im sure everyone wants to know that and thats where the whole “trade secret” thing comes in I guess right?
They’re working on an update. According to Pontus it could possibly be done in january, but it could also be february before it’s released.

Yep, I saw your question pop up on Twitch, and Pontus was busy and he didn’t.
I still say they should be able to assign another person to the stream. They have these weekly streams for TheHunter: COTW as well, and those are often hosted by 2 people. Pontus himself has often been one of them. Heck, they could even pick the janitor to help them read the chats, and it would be of great help. 
Pontus does his best, but I understand that playing and reading 4 chats simultaneously can’t be easy.

I volunteer as tribute to play the game and let someone answer the questions… but I dont think they have any open positions for “playing a game on a stream”

The only useful information I got was the next update will come probably in early February.

No, i asked because i had no time to watch it.
Does that mean there is a 4th pair of special glasses to be found?

Haha, no! It was just an ironic remark of how uninteresting the stream was! It was just some regular glasses!

Ugh… I had an itch that desperately needed scratching! 
Which game is that?
Far cry primal ?
I just know it´s one I still haven´t played or don´t own 
Yep, it’s Primal. One of the top 3 FC games, in my opinion.

That and the first one are the only ones i haven´t played.
But the HUD reminded me of the other games.
What you mean “it´s now 35 hours”?
That you have been destroying those enemies a row for 35 hours with the solo objective to find the weapons?
35 hours is not enough to find them all, I’m afraid. Unless you’re extremely lucky! I have played almost 60 hours since the weapons pack was released, and I have “only” gotten a 5* N16 and a 5* N9 extended magazine, plus a few 4* attachments.
I am level 31 with more than 330 hours of play (Main missions and annexes completed) but only 35 hours since the installation of the DLC US Weapons Pack … I understand that I have to be patient! Thanks for your feedback.
If you’re going to have to pay for it AND THEN have to grind for it, I’m out. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while, especially if those weapons are anything more than re-skins.

I didn’t like the drop rate at all. Within one session we all knew what lay ahead to get the 5C variants.
There is one thing though that I can’t shake, is that I’m convinced that it has been done on purpose.
Now remember this title has been out for over 2 years, (and not to side bar the new players) but there is a community here that are invested in both time, effort, and money to support the development of the game now and into the future. In 404.2 I discuss with @OBiW4NSHiNOBi about player retention - and what will be needed to keep those invested…committed.
And then comes the US Weapon DLC - with a 3C variant good to go in the Plundra. Now anyone who’s done the grind will know that naturally the mindset will be getting the 5C equivalent, along with attachments.
And that’s why I think the drop is so very, very low. It’s been done on purpose for those players who are looking for an excuse to come back to Sweden to have something to go for. I mean I’m completely guilty of it - as soon as I got the DLC I was after the 5C versions, whatever it took - even ended up making my own trailer for them!
But to bring it back on a level, like everything that is introduced it’s all about balance. To cap weapon tiers in conjunction with your level is a great idea - but would have needed to be a vanilla base game option in order for it to work its far too late for it to be accepted now by the community without severe tantrums.
Integrated into missions…yes ( but what if it doesn’t unlock ) then you’ve paid content you can’t get. Can you give it to another player who doesn’t own the DLC? Can the guest player pickup the weapon post mission?..you see where I’m going. There are just far too many variables for it to be placed in a mission only for it not to unlock at the end of it all.
Clarity would be needed before any new DLC Weapon pack drops to lay out the criteria of obtaining the 5C legit. And while your there, a complete re work on the loot pools for all forms of Hunter, Tank, and Harvey so people know exactly what is available in the loot pool. Yes, you can reduce the loot pool by only going for normal machines - but there’s players over 200 hours in that is still yet to pick up a 5C item they are missing which is pretty harsh by any standards of weapon grind.
US Weapon DLC N16 needs polishing - it’s extremely flat. The N9 stays the same in your colour in hand regardless of quality, 4C is a matte black in the inventory - yet polished silver once put in side arm slot. The pig is superb, but - like all the LMG’s why doesn’t the mag empty as you use the bullets leaving one round visible before it’s an empty clip. There needs to be refinement for these weapons to really pop.
Future Weapon DLC packs would be a nice addition, but the tone of the game will determine how adventurous the devs will get. If they are going to stick with the 80s/90s only theme - that’s fine, but I would look on building on the current weapons instead (Experimental weapon mods & attachments).
Or even - a new set of experimental versions on base guns, especially as they missed 3 great ones.
Experimental .500 Magnum / “Pontus” (.50 Cal Explosive tip Rounds, 7 round chamber)
Experimental Sjöqvist / “Elmer” (Twin barrel sawn off, any 12G round, belt fed 12 round clip {6x2})
Experimental AG5 / “Goodnight” (Green laser sight, grenade/smoke round attachment, enemy marking)
