So first of all, I really enjoy the game, I have sever hundered hours and can't put it down. I don't see that trend continuing unfortunately as they are forcing me to play the game in a way I absolutely despise. Playing as a Raider is not fun, it's not rewarding and it just lowers my opinion of the game. The matchmaking is a joke and puts me against seal team six that i have no possible chance of beating. But the game makes me torture myself in such a way because so much content is locked if I dont. Because of this I probably won't be playing anymore, which actually makes me sad, but I game to have fun, and forcing me to play as an antagonist is in no way fun.

But all kidding aside.... Blueprints can still drop from a loss.
And they set the XP requirement needed to change from Raider to Antag affinity so low, that even losing should give you enough to change it, and a win is a guaranteed change. Last I checked, it only took about 700xp to go Antagonist (for my level, in the mid 30's), and a loss nets 800+xp, not counting boosters.
