As of late, I've been coming across more and more PUGs that are wanting to bunker down in the extraction zone for the full two minutes on the extraction wave. A central principle I absorbed with my baby food was ... well, to pretty much not do that. Just kite, then flip the map. Much easier, unless your a veteran team competing for high scores. 

Bronze and Silver games don't apply here, but Gold and Platinum can get pretty hairy in those final two minutes. Any thoughts on this suddenly common (and occasionally catastrophic) practice? I ain't gonna' lie ... if I carry a PUG through Wave 10, and then all three randoms wanna' couch it at extraction, they're pretty much on their own.

Newer noobs playing

Iam the same way, once we get the money for wave 10 I don't care about my teammates anymore.

I warn them once over the mic usually that it's a bad idea then I do my own thing.

The guy says "GET TO THE EXTRACTION ZONE" and everyone listens to him, then they die. In all the games I've played the announcer never gets hurt so it's easy for him to say. He's a sadistic one for certain.

Camping the LZ has always been an epidemically common practice. What are you on about?

Yeah ... I played a PUG Gold last night with three super-noobs. By extraction, I had 190k, one guy had 70k, and the other two had less than 40k. Once we hit those fateful two minutes, I rubbed my claw across their foreheads, whispered "Simba" as I left, and let them become a man.

(They all died, by the way.)

You get more credits if you camp the LZ.

No point in lone wolfing the extraction wave. Partial extraction is partial extraction if a guy bleeds out or gets Phantom punctured, don't matter anyways.

[Daxamite]

My strategy is to run around like a headless chicken screaming "we're all going to die!!!!!" Then get to l z and do a lone survivor extraction

I'm actually quite bad at making it to extraction on gold

Ah don't underestimate silver or overestimate silver players. Defending the LZ usually involes tons of medigel and opspacks.

True that. Its every man for himself. A few days ago I was in a pug match. We got to wave 11. I and two other guys camped on far away from the LZ, but the fourth player stayed in the LZ.  Needless to say, he got killed quick. What followed was very baffling and entertaining. One of the guys who was with me, ran off to the LZ to rez the downed player, and then he stayed there until extraction. I looked on from a long distance as missiles got fired and medigels were used in the LZ. At the end, the guy who had gone to rescue the original LZ camper said into his mic with an angry vioce:  "You dont camp the LZ. I spent all my medigels and rockets trying to save your ass". What an idiot!

they chose their fate.
no regrets OP.

What I find strange is why they normally wait till wave 11 starts and the shuttle pilot guy tells them to get to the EZ before they run to the EZ. Except for vancouver and dagger the EZ is in exactly the same place every time but they never run there when wave 10 ends, only when they're told to.

It's every Bison for itself!

Meh. People should know after a few games that the lz is a death zone during extraction.

Somebody know how the credits work?  Some say extraction doesn't even matter for credits?  I mean, what's the credits breakdown for:  full extraction, partial, lone wolf?

With pugs I'll sometimes be all alone somewhere away from the pug-gathered extraction zone, trying to draw enemies away from a distance, them charge in with a missile at the last second.  Always save 1 missile for this incase.

You only get bonus credits and XP for full team extraction.

Pretty sure thats wrong. You get the 10% bonus credits if you extract, it doesn't matter if anyone else extracts or not.
You do get extra XP for full extraction though

I blame the damn announcer. When I get back to base I'm going to have a word with him. He's always yelling in my ear piece to get to the extraction zone! Telling me how little time I have left on any objective. He's very bad for morale.

Re the extraction wave, why do I not have a clock at times for that? does it have to do with joining in progress or having a host leave or something?

[Lord Nutfork]

I struggle with this. I am not the greatest Gold player, but I dread Wave 11 when the team starts camping the LZ.

I have compromised by taking a position across from the campers to shoot the enemies in the back. That way I can help out, but still keep some distance.
