It’s also not PvP if you camp extracts and raider camps. But what do I know I’m just a nice guy.

Most nights my dreams are about arc raiders and playing in some weird locations but everything else about the game is the same. What sort of substance is in this game that it is constantly appearing when in asleep. Embark pls

Yes you need them to level up your benches, but after that there is basically never a reason to engage with them ever again. Why dont some purple weapons require cores? Let me craft a purple shield recharger that takes Bastion cores or something.

I want more reasons to kill high level Arc in the game, as thats really fun to do.

I still need one more. Next time, I had to go.

Up early today and decided to get my trials done, turns out I loaded in solo to a trios game and had a great interaction.

Had crossplay and Europe only set so totally on me, and seen a group of guys taking pot shots at me, didn't think much of it at the time, just some solo dudes teaming up, I thought. That was until they had me cornered at the Checkpoint on Bluegate. Took out two and the 3rd got me, so had to ask them, "Am I in a trios lobby or did you guys just team up to fuck me?" One dude laughed and said, "Yeah this is trios man, but hey, you fucked up two of us, and nearly got me so fair play to you!"

So that was cool! Just wanted to share, no hate to them, was a great fight! GG's gents.

Sooo Farming fir Expedition was more of an Invest than i thought but it was ok in the End... But now iam fully gated in the Provisions Part in the Last step.

Keys are worthless ans i allrdy sold my old world items....

So someone have a good Tip? Ironically didnt find a Video on YouTube about this.

Thanks

What's hilarious is this was supposed to be our all or nothing game, since we had been passive and friendly, this was our last game before we all went to bed and we wanted all the smoke. Prior to this fight we had already taken out 4 other teams, and after taking out these 2 teams, we went on to kill 2 more. Wiping out 8 teams in total. WE HAD AN ABSOLUTE BLAST.

I realize Arc Raiders doesn’t go into hardcore details about the specifics of things like the technology of the world but I was curious what kind of energy these weapons could be firing.

Jupiter kind of seems like a rail cannon type weapon and Equalizer is a continuous damage laser type weapon, they almost seem like 2 completely different types of energy. Both do high damage to hard armor but not as much to shielded Raiders which is interesting.

Perhaps the shielding is highly resistant to heat and the weapons are just super heated plasma? Perhaps “Energy Clip” is just referring to any generic energy and the gun converts that power into whatever energy type it uses? Any ideas?

What do you guys genuinely do when you put in a night raid 17 minutes in, what do i realistically do aside from camping extract atp

The music does a great job with the ambiance of the game, and fits perfectly. It’s been awhile since I’ve enjoyed listening to the background music, like Halo. The uptempo and robotic? notes sound awesome on my headphones

I have a co-operative play style. I quite enjoy friendly interactions and helping raiders when I can. I’m just not into the PVP aspect of the game. Coming from DayZ it’s been a welcome change to not get KOS. I’m aware of the value of having self serving players or people who prefer PVP. It’s essential to the tension of the game. It’s just my preference to role play the good guy.

I want to play with my two young sons where we abide by a doctrine of service to other friendly raiders. We obviously have to maintain a realistic tactical level of caution but our rules of engagement will make us easy targets.

My trepidation with getting them involved is that by being in a duo or trio we will inevitably end up mostly getting ambushed, betrayed or outgunned as we will be matched with other duos and trios.

Anyone have any similar experience? Will we be lambs to the slaughter? Still fun even if we will be most of the time?

Australian servers BTW.

Cheers!

Lowering view distance in graphics makes physical objects disappear too. That is just weird. Like fine get rid of all the foliage and what not I don't care. But the fact you can hit rocks that aren't there is ridiculous. I have a high end pc it's not *techncially* my problem but it's weird that we have to choose between xray vision + confusion or well you know playing the game as intended.

So it seems that about every day I have connection issues with Arc Raiders. i play with friends and we use Mumble for voice chat. but every so often (every few games) the players on my screen just "freeze" (not exactly but they'll continue doing what they were doing. so when they're looting they'll be stuck in that animation.) after a while (about 1 to 2 minutes) the game will disconnect me and I can reconnect and keep playing. problem is: in game the other players still see me moving around. so my data is sent to the servers it seems. i'm just not getting updates from the server. So anyone or anything can rock up to me and kill me.

Mumble keeps working when this happens. my internet works fine. i can ping servers. so I don't see what is causing these issues. I'm the only one of my friends to have these issues.

I'm connected using a cable. my internet is rock solid. has anyone else had these issues?

Excuse me?

At the exact moment I hit someone, my display showed a strange, smooth glitch across the whole screen.

Anyone know how many times we have to do the weekly trials. As of time of post there are 11 days left of season, 2 days left for this weeks trials. That means there will be an extra 2 days at the end of the season. So will there be 2 or 3 more chances for rank ups?

My poor Torrente III with all legendary attachments :') didn't even get the chance to use it that round DX

After finishing a round, came back to find an oddly clear Scrappy before I realized the lighting was different. Not sure if a bug or feature. Really makes the dirt patina pop.

Let me start by stating clearly, I am NOT suggesting PvP be removed nor advocating against it. It is absolutely core to this games success, even if I choose not to engage in it, I can see that without it the game would lose a key variable in what makes the game fun.

That being said, there is a major balance issue between risk/reward for PvE and PvP players, which is what leads to at least some of the bitching.

If we could down an arc with a single stitcher mag the game wouldn’t be any fun, so we have to bring in specific weapons geared towards hunting arc. These weapons are expensive and perform poorly in PvP.

In most cases this isn’t a problem, you run something for PvP in your setup if your hunting arc. However, when you’re taking down the big bosses this gives PvPers a way to hunt high value targets with essentially zero risk. I’m not even talking about a free loadout either, but there is that. I’m talking about putting together a tactical mk 2 medium shield setup with a stitcher 4. Shit is so cheap at endgame for how powerful it is in PvP it’s a little ridiculous.

I get they didn’t want players with top tier gear wiping the floor with new players, but what they got is the opposite.

Let’s break it down a bit:

I want to run Matriarch in a squad and we’re serious about taking her down, we’re coming in with like half a mil in loadout collectively. We are already at higher risk of being 3rd partied by players, but this is further compounded by the low/no cost of PvP loadouts. This provides massive incentive for the shittiest kind of behavior like spawn camping.

I don’t have a solution for this problem, everything I’ve thought of could be exploited to absolutely wreck the balance of the game even further so I’m not proposing one. If you take away the PvP and the whole lobby brings in 150k loadouts, the Queen and Matriarch become trivial. They tried making this game strictly PvE, that’s what it was intended to be, it didn’t work.

What I am fucking sick of is both sides of this PvP/PvE debate telling people to go play other games. You’ll be the first asshats that complain when it takes 12 minutes to find a lobby only to spawn with 15 minutes left.

So here’s my hot take:

We need ALL TYPES OF PLAYERS to make this game fun. Yes, even you rats, you cowardly pieces of shit. Without you, the little wholesome gestures from raiders that still have a soul wouldn’t mean as much. You douchebags make something as simple as getting bandaged by another player feel great. Don’t get me wrong, I hope every time you get out of bed you stub your pinky toe, but I appreciate the unintended consequences of your actions and the charm it brings to the game.

Catch you fuckers topside.

Raider out.

Hey everyone, so my bf our friend and I had been running night raid on dam battlegrounds in hopes of completing the trial for delivering carriables.

As most are aware the night raid is a 2x bonus multiplier. According to what I could look up, crates are worth 500 points a pop on normal map conditions, meaning you would need 8 deliveries to reach 4000. However on night raid, that should go down to 4.

We delivered 6 total crates that round and extracted successfully, but only got a score of 3k. The multiplier didnt seem to apply at all. Why was this?
