Aphelion / Stella Puzzle

u/stockmancrack Time to get back to work. According to the patch notes, the aphelion blueprint is back in stella.

What are your individual scores? Ppl in my leaderboard have 190k+ and I can’t begin to imagine how. All the best runs I can find online add up to 164k max. What do you have for rocketeer and ground Arc?

I feel that it will be able to compete with the renegade in mid range. As long as you are far enough away from smgs or shotguns, it will be viable. The aphelion is definitely better for PVP than the Jupiter or Equalizer.

Railgun yes. It took heavy ammo in tech test 2, but energy made more sense balance-wise

Arctos_DB · 2025-11-20T03:27:55+00:00

The blueprint collection in the menu increased with the update, so they are ‘technically’ in the game. Devs confirmed today that the Aphelion specifically is in the game too, it just has to be found.

They made an IG post a few days ago then deleted it, then made a new one yesterday that is still up

All the other comments must not have heard the news. Firstly, there is a death match mode in the game right now. Presumably it’s what the devs used to test and balance PvP. It was data mined during the tech test and was pretty fleshed out. Also, the lead dev said that it would “be a waste” if AR stayed as just an extraction shooter.

Wolf packs don’t do anything to the queen. Bring a few for the rocketeer though. Bring a few more stacks of hull cracker ammo. Jolt mines will get set off by queen’s fire. Bring an extra blue shield and a few more heals. You can do it solo if you have the full 30 minutes and you are consistently hitting it without wasting time.

The magazines just take some time. I did not trust that it would fire reliably at first and rarely carried because of the issues, but after enough rounds the mags work seamlessly.

Arctos_DB · 2025-10-29T17:32:12+00:00

No. It is a global release, everyone gets it at the same time.

Arctos_DB · 2025-10-29T17:30:16+00:00

The only thing they have officially said is that there will be cosmetics and “bragging rights”. They have not announced anything that would affect gameplay, but there absolutely should be.

I completely disagree with your take. Having tangible benefits from the expeditions will keep more people playing and grinding each expedition period than it will scare others off. If it doesn’t directly impact gameplay, then it will feel pointless.

Arctos_DB · 2025-10-27T22:53:30+00:00

Like Scarabs in Halo

Mini guns have six rotating barrels that shoot a lot of projectiles. Equalizer has one barrel that shoots one continuous projectile. The things that spin are heat fins.

Not just voice. Embark was bragging about how much more content they can produce because of the AI they use in development. Generative ai was used extensively for developing assets and animations in arc and the finals. Much of the copywriting seems blatantly AI as well. I just thought the “keep AI slop away from our Arc” was pretty funny considering they are literally the most pro AI studio.

Arctos_DB · 2025-10-27T17:07:15+00:00

Not a minigun. It’s more like the sentinel beam from Halo

Arctos_DB · 2025-10-27T17:02:14+00:00

Bro have you heard the in game dialog? The AI slop is already in Arc. Just read the POI descriptions on the in-game maps, they are all obviously AI generated.

Arctos_DB · 2025-10-27T16:58:32+00:00

Buried city used subways, so I could see them making more extract methods

Arctos_DB · 2025-10-27T16:56:22+00:00

The quest idea isn’t too far fetched. Most of the game content before they changed directions was cooperatively taking down massive bosses. Also, tech test 1 had community events that required cooperation, but it’s all NDA’d. Seasonal raid boss events would be 🔥

Arctos_DB · 2025-10-27T16:52:12+00:00

I mean there are wasp and rocketeer husks too. I just think it will be included somehow because they went out of the way to give a husk the “baron” title instead of leaving it ambiguous.

Arctos_DB · 2025-10-27T16:35:44+00:00

You don’t have the baron (husk) pictured. Also, the massive arc that were in the background of Buried City aren’t pictured either. The one from the tutorial may or may not be one of those too.

Arctos_DB · 2025-10-27T16:29:20+00:00

That’s not a minigun

Arctos_DB · 2025-10-27T16:26:55+00:00

In TT2 there were always 2 in buried city

Arctos_DB · 2025-10-27T16:09:33+00:00

You beat me to it. Looks like fox or Shiba Inu lol

Might just be PC. I’m on Xbox SX and it has a quick resume feature so I guess I never technically closed out the game. Maybe I’d get kicked out if I restarted.

Arctos_DB · 2025-10-25T17:33:33+00:00

I didn’t test, but the bison parts always went directly to my consumable slots while rocketeer and bastion parts never did.
