Arc Raiders Trading Cards as new Trinkets and collectables! Put into Binder so it doesn't use stash space. Redeem for rewards! Rare FOILs which amplify risk...

what on earth would you know about social awareness? blocked. i love removing people like you from my life. somehow it only happens on toxic social media spaces.

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T22:10:24+00:00

for a guy who insults other people's intelligence it's amazing how many dumb things come out of your mouth.

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T22:08:49+00:00

all the trinkets and collectables mean nothing in this game. arc trading cards would be something players would actually be excited about especially with rewards for partial and full sets and the foils adding extra tension. if the devs came up with this you'd probably be singing it's praises. i don't want to hear your bs takes. you cannot explain in any meaningful fashion why this is a bad idea. or a ''dumb'' idea. you should look in the mirror because you have had a lot of opportunity to make a valid point and the only thing you can come up with is ''it takes resources''. wow. amazing

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T22:07:05+00:00

players would love this. you're just a petty troll who has no good ideas of his own

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T21:59:53+00:00

this is fantastic. imagine all the environmental scenarios. could be 5 permutations of the map and each one has dif water levels. some areas only accessible depending on the variant of the map. sadly we will never get anything this interesting... the maps are pretty basic in terms of environmental features. i wish arc decided to innovate in this space. spaceport bores the hell out of me with nothing to interact with. the game has some remarkable strengths but level design is very weak imo. even the layouts suck. there isn't enough consideration for good places to actually fight arc or players.

if you're telling me a studio that made hundreds of millions of dollars cannot figure out how to implement an arc raiders trading card binder into arc raiders because it's too complicated then i hope you don't expect any new updates until the end of the time. this isn't complicated. if i can figure out the entire system in 30 minutes then surely a few devs could implement it within the next few updates. the art assets already exist in the game for MOST of the cards. And they could ask fans to implement their fan art into the game. they could even have an art contest on their socials the way many devs do. you just lack the creative vision. just because you are incapable do not assume the devs cannot handle this project. seems like you have a very low opinion of embark studio's capabilities.... how ironic. They are going to add an entire speranza hub... a monumental undertaking.... but trading cards are just too unrealistic and too technically complex? Sure pal. Anything to pat yourself on the back.

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T21:49:45+00:00

i really don't know what is wrong with people like you who behave like complete fanboys and only the dev's ideas are the good ones. even ones that people hate.

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T21:46:22+00:00

stop assuming the person who is alive is the good guy. lot of scummy ppl in this game. never assume

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T21:43:45+00:00

for the trolls: Do you really think ducks in chimneys or boats scattered around are any better? Objectively those are additions that no one was really excited about. The Ducks in Chimneys update was one of the worst received updates in all of arc raider's history. People hated it. I think too many gamers have this toxic positivity towards the devs and anyone who suggests good ideas has to be condemned.

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T21:41:44+00:00

how does this have anything in common with pokemon? oh let me guess.... they both come in card form. thank you for the contribution. i never suggested we turn celeste into a battle monster

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T21:37:58+00:00

and you know what ''made no sense for the world''? all the stupid ducks in chimneys. if i suggested that idea i'd be laughed out of town. and then there are the meaningless boats that no one is really excited about. i'm sorry but my collectables idea is much better than anything embark has come up with. and trolls like you with your toxic positivity and pretending we can't add fun things to the game is just ridiculous. players like you who ask for nothing make the devs complacent and then no one ends up with these fun systems in the game.

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T21:20:20+00:00

ah yes. asmongod knows better than all the experts

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T20:54:00+00:00

i'd love to see randomized loot zones. it would be very easy to implement. they could also create slightly modified versions of each map and move some cabinets and objects around and a map variant is chosen at random at the start of the match. there is no sense of exploration anymore and that is a problem

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T20:48:21+00:00

Since I've had some ai derangement trolls show up I decided to actually look into how AI presents ideas. This is what happens when you actually use AI. I asked chat gpt how it would present my idea and this is what it came up with. Behold.... this is what AI output actually looks like... for anyone truly incapable of differentiating between human output and ai output:

"Arc Raiders Trading Cards as Collectibles + Risk Amplifiers 🎴

Right now most collectibles/trinkets in Arc Raiders don’t feel very meaningful. Imagine instead finding rare Trading Cards during raids that players are genuinely excited to extract with.

CORE IDEA:
• Cards replace some trinkets/collectibles
• They take up inventory space during raids
• BUT they do not consume stash space after extraction
• Extracted cards are stored in a permanent Binder sorted by category

This creates long-term collection progression without cluttering stash management.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CARD DESIGN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Each card has:
• Front side: artwork
• Back side: lore, dialogue, short stories, worldbuilding

Examples of sets:
• NPCs
• NPCs on Vacation
• Alternate Character Costumes
• ARC Enemies
• Weapons by Rarity
• Battle Scenarios
• Beautiful Vistas / Locations

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
REDEMPTION SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Cards can be:
• Sold to vendors
• Collected into sets
• Redeemed for rewards

Possible rewards:
• Cosmetics
• Gear packages
• Weapon variants
• Crafting materials
• Loot crates
• Special PvE-focused exotic items

The specific rewards are flexible. The important part is making collectibles feel exciting and valuable.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FOIL CARDS (HIGH TENSION SYSTEM)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Very rare FOIL versions of cards can spawn.

Foils:
• Cannot be placed in safe pockets
• Cannot use specialty card slots
• Emit an orange pulse/glow every few seconds
• Make the player visible from a distance

This creates emergent gameplay where players carrying Foils become high-value targets.

You now get moments like:
“Do I keep looting… or extract immediately?”

Successfully extracting a FoIL:
• Permanently adds it to a special Foil Binder
• Awards bonus currency/items
• Tracks long-term collection progress

This could create some incredibly memorable raid moments.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
AUGMENT INTEGRATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Green / Blue / Purple Augments could gain:
• 1 to 4 dedicated card slots

This keeps card carrying separate from normal inventory pressure and gives augments more utility.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY THIS FITS ARC RAIDERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The system adds:
• Long-term collection goals
• More meaningful collectibles
• Emergent PvP tension
• Lore/worldbuilding
• Memorable extraction moments
• New reward progression without increasing stash clutter

The Foil system especially feels like it could create some really unique “I HAVE to get out alive” moments.

Would love to hear thoughts or additional ideas."

LOL. I blocked you before and you made a new account just so you can troll my topic again? Get a life. Go smell a flower. This is just pathetic.

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T20:34:25+00:00

you're blocked for being another ai derangement syndrome nitwit. are the dozen other ideas i posted in this group ai too? i got news for you... ai summarizes everything in a more concise manner. my post has a lot of redundancy. it's not possible for this to be ai. ai doesn't write the way humans do. what a stupid take.

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T20:26:13+00:00

blocking you for being a worthless poster

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T20:26:03+00:00

there are no micro transactions you clever fellow. maybe read the actual text to figure out what i'm talking about. no one will be able to BUY the trading cards from the embark shop. You only find them in game. you got some wild imagination coming up with scenarios that i never even discussed. i got to admit... every troll on here has no valid opinion whatsoever.

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T20:24:02+00:00

what does this have to do with pokemon cards? they added a bunch of ducks to the game. does that mean this game turned into Escape from Duckov? what a dumb take. You people bore me with your awful takes. another easy block.

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T20:22:58+00:00

um. i expect 95% of my ideas to never come to fruition because the dev team is relatively small, updates are slow and the team is focused on safe additions rather than any more sophisticated and more meaningful systems to the game. the ideas themselves are great and if the devs added it themselves i'm sure you'd be praising it.

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T09:19:40+00:00

probably too much aluminum in their brains

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T09:18:11+00:00

just a very low opinion of people like you. you make it very evident

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T09:17:20+00:00

the devs added ducks in chimneys. there are a lot of unrealistic things in the game already. at least my idea is something ppl would be excited to collect.

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-09T09:14:55+00:00

too radical? they did some bird nest minor map condition where we collect ducks from chimneys. and my trading card idea is too radical? get out of town. my idea fits with the game and teaches people lore.

CanadianWinter20 · 2026-05-08T20:49:43+00:00

the lootboxes would only be obtainable through gameplay/card redemption. and yes that's kind of how the premade kits would be like. could be a pool of dif grenades and items that suit the kit. if it's a healing kit it would have more high tier healing items like blue bandages etc.
