    how is the community, on average, when you’re new and dumb? I don’t really have anyone to play with from my RL friend group and I’ve wanted to get into it. Is there like friendly/casual matchmaking or anything like that, or am I just gonna keep getting kicked from games for having the wrong gear?

      I haven’t experienced anything too bad, most players seem pretty nice and understanding of fuck-ups. The only important thing is: make sure not to start extraction too early. Try to stick with the other players, you’ll get the hang of everything quickly.

      Honestly, the safest bet is to make a public match and let people join you so that if they get toxic you can just kick them.

      However, I haven’t met too many toxic players. The ones that did act toxic were also likely people who are toxic in every game they play.

        I’ve found most everyone is incredibly friendly. You may accidentally be democratized on occasion, but as long as you always believe its an accident you’ll be fine.

        Make sure to hug at evac, and hug before being sent to the planet. You never know if its the last time you’ll get to see your brothers.
