After a week spent arguing over what a rat is and whether a Subway skin counts as lore, the subreddit exhaled. Mood crept to 58 - a quiet "Warming Up" - but the number tells you less than the clips. A raider stepped off a cliff in the Dam Battlegrounds, realized they forgot to look down, and spent three seconds in freefall. That clip, from u/Hanna_Bjorn, sits at 1,078 points and the subreddit spent the day watching it on loop.
The save - two swift snaphook grapples, both hit clean - is the kind of mechanical reflex that separates the topside regulars from the rest. u/muklukdimsum put the room's awe into words: "I panic. This guy calmly selects snaphook. Twice." u/McMacAttac called it "Perfectly balanced," and for a moment, it was.
A few hours later, another clip emerged that no one would have believed without the video. u/Leading-Criticism-34 extracted as normal, and a Comet - a full ARC unit - came along for the ride, clipping through the walls of the tube.
The raider's slow turn toward the invader says everything. Top comment, from u/Few_Celebration3148: "It will still be in there for the next guy lol." u/scoubt asked the practical question: does the ARC despawn, or is it now a permanent resident?
Between the saves and stowaways, the subreddit found time for some unexpected soul-searching. u/Knox_Burden, a since launch, posted a short essay about trying the cooperative Care Bear lobbies for the first time. "Probably 20 raids," they wrote, and the experience flipped their perspective. The thread's comments are full of similar converts, but summed up the draw: "I've gotten way more enjoyment from care bear playstyle than I expected... sometimes I just wanna turn my brain off and get that sandbox experience."

"It’s weird they are even called defibs because you would never use one on someone crawling around on the ground lol. I assume they are more like supercharged vita shots"
