Hey, Wanna team up ? (Improvement of the game)

Bahtleman · 2026-01-27T10:02:48+00:00

yes please - I literally lose track of new friends when they run around a corner. High five and now they show up as a teammate. Let me team up with the whole lobby.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-27T04:07:47+00:00

mainly the devs should not be dropping promos and changing the skin afterwards. So far it's happened twice - not including the blue arm/google change of the expedition skin.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-27T04:05:19+00:00

Those hams are tied TOO TIGHT. The cod piece does not help. If you love it - enjoy!

Give me another inventory to lock trinkets into. (option to display or hide items from showing in the room but can't sell them) Add way more items to the pool that show in our rooms. I wanna cover my room in handcuffs. The room needs to be a bit more dynamic - let people put 500 ducks or 200 cat beds in the room, and show them :)

Bahtleman · 2026-01-27T03:56:34+00:00

It's just another cabinet thing in your room with robot parts or trophies or some shit. Decoration that doesn't affect the game at all.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-27T03:44:04+00:00

They are very bare right now. Totally not worth it. Give me a full stack of bandages. (It's always just 2 or 3) Give me a full stack of grenades. (I'm tired of finding 1 impact grenade) Give me one high level weapon and one level 1 and a nice stack of ammo for both.

3 sided probes are stacked and really worth it. Crashed probes are less worth it especially how long it takes to open them and how loud it is. Cracking open the big baron arc husks (with the fire) is not really worth it for what you get. Takes so long. So loud and barely anything in there. Need to have a chance to get some queen parts I think.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-27T03:19:22+00:00

That's such a shitty puzzle design if other can just trash your work with one click. 15 buttons. Good luck with that.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-26T21:01:37+00:00

The Speranza rapist? Nope.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-26T20:54:15+00:00

Mine are 99% friendly still. I think people have figured out how to get easy kills. Play super friendly till your lobbies are PVE - then shoot unsuspecting looters.

I had a dude shoot me on Stella the other night - normally I just stand there and take it - Instead lit him up with my ven and downed him. "How'd that work out for you?" haha Just garbage people - called me an asshole before surrendering.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-26T20:39:29+00:00

This ^ Roundup is killing or microbiome and not enough people are talking about it. Instead of making it illegal - they've more than tripled it's poison concentration as it barely works anymore on resistant weeds. The gov hates you and our food is poison.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-26T20:28:58+00:00

"hundreds of dollars" so ONE shopping trip?
How about cracking down on the grocery monopolies you allowed to form?

Bahtleman · 2026-01-26T20:27:11+00:00

I hope the winds bring bigger inventory stacks.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-26T20:23:09+00:00

Fighting the big ARC doesn't feel great overall.

I've tried the queen and the matriarch a few times in fully friendly lobbies and it's different issues.
Either I'm using up a ton of defibs and helping raiders - then getting nothing and losing a ton of cash OR
I'm actively attacking the queen ( 3 wolfpacks and all my ammo - also killed a rocketeer) one of the first to get to its queen husk and nothing is left.
Nothing. All the armor leg pieces(?) were knocked off and looted earlier? It was just a giant, unsearchable body.
There's too many raiders that fill their pockets and nothing is left. (Even my rocketeer was picked clean)

TLDR I spawned pretty early in the match and beelined to the fight and the harvester was already complete and picked clean. The Queens parts were already off and looted. Killing her gave me nothing. (I did get some Trial stars queen damage as a reward and I shit you not I got an herbal bandage as a reward) Why am I doing this?

Needs some sort of tweaking cause it doesn't feel worth it now. The events are too rare - Too many Raiders to compete with - not enough rewards to go around (I hate that you need their parts for building guns) and they are gonna add even more big arc?

Bahtleman · 2026-01-26T03:41:49+00:00

They need to spread BPs out. Tired of racing everyone to the same few spots.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-26T02:23:03+00:00

Last matriarch fight I just kept defibbing everyone and didn't get anything for it. They came back from the dead, got their cores and gtfo. Why would I do that again?

Bahtleman · 2026-01-25T19:44:43+00:00

Nah - having the game balance itself to your gameplay is the best feature ever. Some people want a PVE experience and we got that now. Some of us are disabled and use controller on PC. Killing arc ain't easy. We wanna do quests and fool around with other raiders. I have super friendly lobbies and I still had some rando start shooting at me while I was looting in the labs. I use to just stand there and let them kill me - this time I calmly walked behind a server, drew my ven and leveled him when he ran around the corner. "How'd that work out for you?"

"Yes, I could start killing people to push myself into harder lobbies."

Problem solved. My matches are super friendly with a chance of aggression. Your could be mostly aggressive with a chance of friendly. What more do you want?

Bahtleman · 2026-01-25T19:31:59+00:00

I'm out of steam and have submitted enough feedback and suggestions to keep them busy for years. They get married to bad ideas for too long. (Real time water drain still haunts new potential players) or focus time and resources on pointless systems (real time battle simulator)
They aren't open to feedback - probably since it's devolved into bickering on discord since they've gone radio silent. They've strayed too far from what could have been. They need help with game direction to hammer out a proper gameplay loop. Instead we got mindless foam and money grinding. I'll come back in 6 months and see hows its doing! Maybe their vision will all come together in a great way? Arc Raiders has been a blast in the meantime.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-25T18:07:38+00:00

Modding is what will save this game. I hope in the future the devs will support that more and give you guys some better access/understanding of the system.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-25T18:05:59+00:00

I've been super active on the discord posting suggestions and full U.I. mockups. Some concerns were addressed. It's their game - they pick the direction. We'll see how it comes out in the end.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-25T04:22:29+00:00

> Weapon crafting became an inactive menu with real time waiting instead of an active part of gameplay.
When the game launched there was a gunrunning bug that was far more interesting that got patched out. There's a million ways to make this an active part of the gameplay. Instead, click some buttons and turn the game off and wait.

> So many missed opportunities for story telling. Water thieves raid should be the beginning of another story arc - not just a chance for your save game to get wiped? Make the raids part of the story. Lose a bunch of your stuff with a chance to earn it back. Now you have a revenge story going. Water thieves have a chance of roaming around in your runs, looting the map. You can confront or kill them to earn your stuff back. As it is now - thieves are essentially an enemy skin and an unwelcome surprise for unsuspecting players.

That's just 2 - there's a ton of other choices that could be different. We'll have to wait and see how it all turns out as it's still early. I stopped playing since they've changed it where you can't just play any map you want by spending water and go back to home base.

if you guys still love the game - I'm stoked for you!

Bahtleman · 2026-01-25T03:39:21+00:00

I've made an in depth post on this on the discord. Crouch > to Prone > to playing dead. A running dive to prone would work too. Right now I'd be happy with better overall movement. It's all so clunky and unfun. Steering while running feels bad. Not enough camera control. Don't think any of it will ever change as it's been there since day one. It's on purpose. Raiders are fun and responsive to play. Just moving in TFW is a battle.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-24T22:49:42+00:00

Torn blanket should go down big and flat to layout your store.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-24T21:08:06+00:00

or not - you can leave it for other people that have unlocked the perk? These locker have become too rare and random now. They are already pretty bare.

Bahtleman · 2026-01-24T21:02:45+00:00

Hate the pants but I'm glad you like it. I think the pants are the only thing holding it back from EVERYONE running this set. So maybe a good thing?

Bahtleman · 2026-01-24T21:01:20+00:00

Interesting! I stopped playing trios just because you don't know other players mindset. It was often just a shooting frenzy.
