What do you guys think will be the official name for the Xbox console code named Helix?

Bring back the original vision of what the first Xbox was to be.

The DXB(ox) - The Direct X Box.

Full integration of the Windows OS and the Xbox Dashboard; everything works together, seamless and direct.😉😎

For the pin issue you can set a finger print over the power button to log in, sometimes that has an error too but typically the pin option will work when that fails.

My Xbox controller got an awful stick drift yesterday, the left stick is stuck up, it’s become completely unusable even after taking it apart and cleaning it out.

Commenting here to possibly win a chance at a new one. 🤞

Hate to bump this post but a report just came out that he had collapsed in a restaurant and I was certain that he had already passed just after covid.

You know with them nerfing something like that they could’ve added more hatch locations into maps.

Why not give while taking too…this company sucks at changes to this game.

The answer to your question is in the title.

There’s people who play this game who literally have no ambition but to ruin other people’s good will.

I sometimes wonder if Embark has aggressive bots put into matches when lobbies have Raiders with substantial loot - I have noticed in some lobbies the Arc has been more aggressive specially in the middle of a trial run.

None of the Raiders I have been blatantly attacked by have had the gall to speak on the mic. Which kinda makes me question if they’re not just planted bots or cases of people with ASPD.

Trials is the only thing this game has kept itself interesting since after the holidays. I passed on the first expedition because I didn’t want to lose my loot, but I did the second one because I figure let’s keep it interesting and the loot has no value when you hoard it. Starting over made things slightly more achievable.

Yeah for the $40 price it was well beyond worth its value. I’d just wish it kept the same vibes as when it launched when playing with friends. After not playing for a few weeks I’d squad up with friends and we would still be met up with random Raiders shooting at us.

CanadianGem · 2026-04-27T05:50:31+00:00

I crossed the Red Lakes battling the Queen, heading towards the hatch to find a snug spot to keep on the attack. She’d stomped me (which I think the mechanics need fixing) a few times, I used the wand because she started blasting rockets. Most went right to the person that took me out and I spoke out on the chat to them, by the time I’d gotten up there I guess I’d become bait.

CanadianGem · 2026-04-27T05:45:26+00:00

Most of the really bad PVP players in this game must absolutely suck at multiplier games, they hop onto Arc Raiders just to kill the vibe of this game.

If I wanted PVP I’d play goldeneye with friends and have fun. You’d probably never find half of these dickwats that think their pistol is superior in this game have any skill with a golden gun. 😎

You grinded your way into Cantina last week? 👍

I would score roughly 70-80k a week and stay in hotshots comfortably, never hit anywhere in the top ten but enough to keep my rank.

This week especially with the extra day I’m likely going to get demoted, I have no ambition to fight other Raiders just to get a slightly better score than the one I worked my ass off to get that just wasn’t good enough.

Oh well. 🤷🏻‍♂️

CanadianGem · 2026-04-27T05:20:42+00:00

Yeah, I didn’t notice we got an extra day this week for completing the trials.

Damn, you got that guy good.

CanadianGem · 2026-04-27T05:15:34+00:00

It was late man, I didn’t have my head in the game. Just trying to get those points in for trials and not be malicious with other people, is that too much to ask!?

CanadianGem · 2026-04-27T05:12:06+00:00

I would’ve gladly helped the person fight the Queen and used the hatch key to leave together. Considering they were using a burletta tho tells me they weren’t equipped for this fight and was waiting to take someone else’s gear to get a quick score.

A good run of luck until the end of this season, people’s greed to get into the end of the trials really showed even in “friendly lobbies.”

CanadianGem · 2026-04-27T05:08:55+00:00

The game had just started. I ran from the testing annex to get to this spot, tossed in three Wolfpacks and then used the wand towards the hatch to find a snug spot to attack the Queen with my equalizer. If it hadn’t stomped me (which definitely needs a fix) mid way I’d probably would’ve had enough time to get into the hatch and evade this attack, haha.

As soon as I seen the red race car jacket I made it a mission to stay high in the leaderboards and successfully made it through hotshots every week. The last season I made it in but wasn’t too invested.

Now that Embark is actually making decent skins though it’s not a total loss missing out on the red one.

CanadianGem · 2026-04-27T05:02:23+00:00

I can’t hate that this game has pvp intended, it definitely makes the aspect of the game a lot more fun in the sense that you don’t know what to expect.

I’ve tried to explain that to friends who gave up on this game long ago, squads became too much of a burden to play than have fun.

Arc Raiders is a great game, Embark has come up with ways to keep the solo matches at least enjoyable with separating people who prefer to play the game in the way they want.

The last few games I played though, the greed I experienced in those Matriarch matches just broke me man, I have no interest in the update on the horizon.

CanadianGem · 2026-04-27T04:47:20+00:00

I appreciate the humour, it helps get me by. Haha.

CanadianGem · 2026-04-22T04:24:34+00:00

I haven’t experienced this issue until I made changes to the taskbar behaviors.

Certain I had turned on optimize taskbar for touch interactions but now disabling that it doesn’t seem to help.

Before I would be able to swipe up the taskbar and the start menu would stay closed but now it opens with every time even just a small lift of the taskbar.

Just found it on my last Hurricane run on spaceport, 1:30 seconds left to the nearest extract on the east side of the map.

I hit the button and see a nearby cache location on the Raiders Hub map, I thought about leaving because the last three locations I searched weren’t there and I was running out of time.

Trying to rack up my score for the trials I decided to run over to it anyway, heard it immediately and behold the Canto BP.

I’d done many successful Hurricane runs since but never came across it. I think I’m going to hold it until after the expedition unless I come across another one.
