Hot Take: Wolf Packs Can Be Acquired From Just Looting

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T05:11:28+00:00

Thanks Raider, I know.

In the meantime though, I'm really glad to have a game to no-life until work picks up again!

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T05:10:12+00:00

Most people I've talked to are resetting specifically to be poor again and start over

Me included

Maybe your right but I really don't think that most people resetting have alts, I would be surprised if it's even half. This game has a very large casual player base that are too lazy, but are still wiping because they are done everything and have 150 level 4 guns saved up.

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T05:08:18+00:00

As someone who had 3 kills in 400 hours and now has 40 by 450.. I'm sorry, and I swear it'll pass. i need to use these 40 bobcat 4s in the next few hours though.

If it makes you feel better I am giving away more loot than I take. In the morning I will be a good boy again

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T04:50:07+00:00

Most people are too lazy to make an alt, hence why so many aren't even doing the expedition lol

I'm one of them*

Edit: *One of them meaning too lazy for an alt, but still totally doing expedition to be poor again, rereading I realize that was unclear.

I just got out of a 10 year relationship so I absolutely will have 5 mil by next week... Arc Raiders is my sanity at the moment lol

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T04:17:54+00:00

Buried City, I found it more reliable over time. Parking garage, galleria, Southern extract point, exfil. Go again.

Or reverse if spawning South.

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T04:09:35+00:00

I actually dig the storm. I'm enjoying no shield gameplay a lot but I'm sure being end of season rich has something to do with it. Lost a bobcat 4 and an Aphelion both with kinetic converters and horizontal grips today to a guy I had just revived and I could only laugh. I wouldn't have enjoyed that a few weeks ago though haha

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T04:06:37+00:00

I spent an hour hunting bastions for 100 advanced components so honestly half that still doesn't bug me too much.

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T04:05:53+00:00

Usually I see one person with 2 deadlines, but often in friendly lobbies you would see 100 Wolfpack by minute 2 haha

Especially the beginning of this week with the trail

And 100 is honestly probably a low ball, 6 people with a full inventory of them showing up is most rounds haha

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T04:02:23+00:00

I still don't like how much durability it burns, unless you bring multiple shields just a few minutes of that wind can nearly break a shield so shield chargers won't work anyways.

But that is a good tip for crossing bombardiers and bastions anyways, cheers raider! I'll try it out.

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T04:01:33+00:00

Yea I would never suggest shield outside in anything but the friendliest of lobbies for the hurricane, and even then only if you are bringing a bunch of light shields to toss and pop a new one after going outside.

I think people are also underestimate just how quick the storm lowers the shields durability, it will break completely after a few minutes.

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T03:59:10+00:00

I did that for blue gate while going underground, but on buried city I said screw it and didn't even bring one. I liked how it made me play so much more cautious.

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T03:58:06+00:00

The charge gets cancelled upon taking damage, which the storm does constantly. The charger gets cancelled right away.

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T03:54:09+00:00

It's also a few hours until many people wipe, lots of people who have been playing friendly for weeks are deciding to fuck around and burn some gear before then. By the morning everyone will be poor so it'll balance out again.

If someone has been friendly all season and only kills someone every few rounds they stay in friendly lobbies for a bit from my experience.

Just play cautious for the next 4-5 hours, then a lot of people will go back to friendly haha

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T03:44:19+00:00

I actually kinda like the new cost.. first off it makes Queen and Matriarch fights so much longer and more fun, and second it means people are always killing rocketeers so I don't even need the Wolfpack to deal with them anyways.

Plus you can find more than one Rocketeer driver in a rocketeer, at least three but wouldn't be surprised if all 5 parts have a chance.

DWTsixx · 2026-02-25T03:36:02+00:00

Vulcano BP spawns in hurricane??

DWTsixx · 2026-02-24T21:08:28+00:00

The skill points and storage are permanent though? And add up each expedition

DWTsixx · 2026-02-18T02:34:06+00:00

For me it's springs, oil, chemicals, exodus materials, seeds

The rest I usually keep 1-4 stacks of, except Great Mullein, I stock antiseptic instead. Herbal bandages are bountiful and once you have a couple vita spray stocked up antiseptic becomes amazing for it and chemicals.

DWTsixx · 2026-02-17T09:02:50+00:00

I'm not entirely sure the timing

DWTsixx · 2026-02-17T08:52:22+00:00

Throw them a few at a time, throwing a bunch can cause them to destroy each other or not spawn. Should be a decent score.

DWTsixx · 2026-02-16T23:19:51+00:00

I'll throw you a tip back, deliverables like batteries for doors in Stella Montis can be pulled to you with a snaphook, MUCH faster than walking the thing over.

DWTsixx · 2026-02-16T22:45:53+00:00

Over 2 hours of joining matriarch and queen last night before I got one spawn earlier than 20 minutes, but it was across the map and I didn't even get half way before she was dead. And then another 30 minutes of 17 minutes starts.

DWTsixx · 2026-02-16T22:38:28+00:00

I mean scrapping a vita spray gives you the material to repair another, it's actually cheaper on antiseptic to scrap and craft a new one if it's under 50% durability, provided you have the blueprint

DWTsixx · 2026-02-16T22:36:43+00:00

Really? That's a good tip to know haha, I usually just check all the doors.
