I've been playing a bit of labs before this event (but wouldn't consider myself a Labs main). Couple things i've observed:
- Loot feels generally less
- Feels like less PMC's on the map, even when you account for all the scavs. Not finding dead PMC bodies. I dunno.
I think part of the problem is that they didn't make Labs free for PMCs, there is still the labs card requirement. So you have an army of Scavs trying to get in, with not too many PMCs trying to get in. It seems like they're starting labs lobbies a lot quicker (w/ less PMCs) to help get a higher quanity of lobbies for scavs to join into.
Solution? Make labs free for PMCs also. Would also shorten queue for scavs.
In it's current state Labs doesn't really feel that fun to PMC or Scav.
