Ive only joined up with other PMC's 3 times now (obviously I'm new and usually run solo) but all three times were a negative experience. One time a squad of four acted all friendly then took me to dorms and suckered me into getting killed… I did hear one of them mention test rat while quietly conversing with his buddy.. Should have been my first red flag. Go up stairs they say… Boom I'm dead. Another time the guy had no mic and ran off on his own leaving me to try and fend off a 2 man squad witch didn't work well. Then I joined some guy who invited me…as soon as we spawn he shoots me in the head. Assuming he just wanted my gear. Is it usually this toxic and or lame when doing in the beginning of the game… Should I be in discord trying to find some decent people to play with? I don't have a ton of time but when I do have time I'd rather not waste it on toxic behavior. Do think this is a great game though
