Tips for dying less:
- make better use of cover
- get a Respark shield, especially the Regenerator (it heals you super fast along with the fast recharge); combine with tip #1
- use Decoy to reduce aggro
- get the perk Fortitude and level it up
- spawn your roller and jump in while shield regens (cheap, but works when there's not much cover). Get out before it blows up so that it refreshes faster (takes longer when it's destroyed).
You have always paid for extractions, however before the patch it was very hard to see it. It was in small text at the bottom left hand side of the screen. Also 180 bucks as a death penalty is extremely weak. Try losing all of your gear if you can't get back to it or half a level of exp.Quote:

Wow has their Death Peanlty thing, not really too sure how it works anymore, been years since I played it. 180 scrip isn't that big of a deal all things considered unless you are dieing a whole lot or something.
....Other games take a % of the money you have on you or they increase the amount of the fee as you level up...Quote:

I wonder how much money the San Quentin Hulker has taken from players.
I've taken to calling him "The Stock Market".
I don't understand. I thought we've always been paying an extraction fee? It's pocket change, but it's been there since launch.
Not to mention the evil corpse run in the nude (or with spare gear from the bank) ;)Quote:

The "problem" with that.. if you read the mission rewards, you only receive 200 scrip for completion! So, you've effectively just lost 90% of your "reward" for a single death/extract. That's a bit harsh for most casual players. And not always are you dropping money like flies on horsepucks here in the game.
So.. I don't think the extraction should be raised like many people, but 180 is pretty easy to get back (a single co-op nets about 1500 on a bad run), but I also don't think it should be taken out either. There needs to be SOME form of death penalty.
Used to be 5% of your wallet in Alpha. Now we paid attention to deaths ;)
