This has probably been the best event to date (IMO). As someone who has expressed lots of criticism within this sub, I take this opportunity to tip my hat to BSG (again) for executing an event that caters to a wide range of players (both rat and chads included).
Even though going into labs is almost a death sentence now, every single raid is action packed and a fresh/unique experience compared to "normal raids".
This event has turned labs into a chaotic slice of hell- what used to be a dead map is now crawling with high intensity action from the first minute to the last. Opening up Labs to scavs creates a constant swarm of desperate pscavs who can now learn the map and gain experience in PvP situations against geared players with little to no risk.
Contrarily, it creates a place for PMCs with too much money and gear to go searching for action and have fun. I go there hardly expecting to live, which makes surviving even more meaningful. It is truly a cathartic sacrifice of both gear and energy- between gluhars squad, the hordes of scavs and the occasional raider spawn there is hardly time to fully heal, pack ammo and resituate between engagements.
I enjoyed the sanitar event quite a bit due to the chaos that it brought to Customs. The one-tap event left a bit to be desired, but man. this Labs event is absolutely killing it, I have been playing daily after pretty much not touching this game for months. shouts outs to BSG for another banger ass event.
