I ran to this HOPPY760VIEW guy in a 140PL rescure the survivors mission. He asked if someone could help him build SSD in twine peaks. I thought it's just some random guy looking for someone to help him with "hard" 5th twine defense. He added me and together we joined the defense and to my surprise, there was nothing there. Just one steel box on the SS, pyramid on the E amp and wooden tunnel that was probably used for edit training. It felt kinda off but I thought he just wanted everything gone because he might know the spawn points at the time when I joined in.
I asked for build permission and started. By the time being, when I was building defenses, he was just crouching near SS. I was really curious so I asked him where did all of his stuff go. His response was "Idk". If this response is not weird, then I don't know what is. So I joined to help a guy to build whole 5 amp and SS defenses and he don't even know where all of his stuff went? How did he got to 140PL mission in the first place? Then I straight up asked him if he is scamming me of my materials. Before the start of any SSD of endurance all of your builds and traps are saved, so I thought he wants me to put all of my traps down and after the defense he would join in again and get the materials from my traps. Obviously his response was no. Okay I have to be frank, he did upgrade a few walls but overall this whole situation was hella weird. And then out of nowhere he said that he used all of his traps on stonewood endurance.
So this guy:
- used all of his max level traps on stonewood endurance (or so he said)
- doesn't know that traps in stonewood have max pl capped on 70 (77 if you have full supercharged version)
- you can beat stonewood endurance with really low pl traps
- a person with access to 140PL missions and 116 account PL should have lots of high level traps and weapon
Not gonna lie, while writhing this post I have really much on my mind and lots of unanswered questions. Why does he have to ask for help? There are countless trap guides or even full twine SSD build tutorials, why can't he follow them and build it by himself. Why is he scamming me? If he needs materials or fully crafted traps, why didn't he just asked? Clip is still in the shop and with high PL he could farm all of the materials. There is still a miniboss season with gold trap, hero and weapon schematics so it's not hard to get thing you need.
There is so much going on and I don't even know on 100% if this guys intentions was to scam me. Just want to share what happened to me today. I have no clue if this is a known thing what people do or something but if not then watch out for people like this guy here. Hopefully I'm not reporting some poor guy that was too lazy to build or even look up for a guide on youtube.
