(PSN)fus-commy Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 ok I was told when I started playing in Feb not to run while playing survival. I had played that way until the last update. I tested running myself in a private match - 1 running killing 0 enemies and getting 2 life supports at roughly 40% the second one walking killing 0 enemies getting 2 life supports. The result = it doesn't matter. Both games ended with 0 life support at 3 min 10 sec. Has anybody ever tested this beside me since the update? If so, please answer the following... Does running while playing survival with more than 1 player (you) hasten the run out of life support? Is there a particular level ( % ) that is most effective to active new life support? I have been doing 40%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bejuizb Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 No, player movement does not affect life support decay. This was specified by the devs a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)fus-commy Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 I knew it. had an idiot ragen at me today cause I was running. told him he was an idiot. What about- what % to hit it at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)RED_KNUCKLEHEAD Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 No running doesn't effect how fast life support runs out, also every time you hit life support it gives you 30% life support, so it depends on how many enemies there are and how fast your team mates kill them, some enemies drop life support packs which give you 4% life support, so if your team are continuously picking these up I'd say 55% is a good time to hit life support. If not, hit it a 60 65 percent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachhh Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I knew it. had an idiot ragen at me today cause I was running. told him he was an idiot. What about- what % to hit it at? As long as you don't have any overflow, it doesn't matter. Usually 65% or less is safe, as long as someone else doesn't hit it at the same time, or you're playing with a very lucky Nekros.

Airwolfen Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 More people also make the oxygen deplete faster. This is to account for More people = more pickups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H0PE Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 More people also make the oxygen deplete faster. This is to account for More people = more pickups O.o Is that on ps4? Because I'm pretty sure on pc is 1% is 1second depletion speed. Never slower, never faster no matter what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wahooo Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Just another of many WF myths that refuse to go away. LIke Stalker has a higher % against low ranked gear. Funny though the run/not run myth started with the suvival event and DE actually answered in a bit of an off hand, 'no' but it still persists. As far as when to pop. if you don't have much teamwork developing it is best to go at 40%, unless you don't have a nekros and the capsules are in rooms with poor spawns, I would try and announce you are popping it in chat and go for closer to 60%. Basically if you are disjoineted team popping two at the same time can happen a lot and end up wasting 10-20% of a pod. More people also make the oxygen deplete faster. This is to account for More people = more pickups Aaaand this is how the myths continue to spread Edited June 9, 2014 by Wahooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airwolfen Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 My bad then. It was meant to at design at least. o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
