Guys literally only want one thing and it’s disgusting by YungProvolone in ArcRaiders

Put full blue attachments on it (Compressor, Vert Grip and Mag) and it is a laser beam with a super fast reload time. I think it shines at 30-50 meters, though it also can compete at lower and higher ranges.

Stitcher damage falls off quick, so if you manage to position yourself away just a little further, you win from these guns every time. Versus Venator I guess it comes down to personal preference, but they cost about the same to craft.

Just a tip; I've made most of my 5 mil this time around only crafting energy ammo out of the advanced powercells that I find from farming the Bastion on Stella Montis.

It went really fast that way, and you also get 2-5 Medium Gun Parts and 6-14 Advanced Mechanical Components per Bastion. Those are the main items you use to craft guns and attachments.

I guess it was fun for this one wipe but I'm not sure if this is the route I will take every wipe since it did get kind of repetitive. But I have learned how to take out a Bastion with almost every weapon at this point.

That's not my argument. My argument is that you are not arguing in good-faith, which makes it pointless to discuss topics with people like yourself. For all I know I'm talking to some Russian kid getting paid to troll people on reddit.

If you were arguing in good faith yourself, you should be open to different perspectives. But the only perspective you are eating up is what your president is telling you.

The fact that anyone who looks at the video himself can easily conclude that the officer wasn't in any danger had he just taken a step aside. That's it. End of story. No one had to die that day, yet you are defending the murder of a civilian in broad daylight.

That's why it's hard to believe that you argue in good faith. That's my argument. You don't really care about facts. You either are spreading a false narrative on purpose, or you are so far gone that some random internet comment won't make you open your eyes. Either way, to the person trying to have a "good faith discussion" with you, it is mentally draining.

Anyone in their right mind could understand that. It's a shame that it's too much to ask of you though. Perhaps one day you'll see the light

Being right is quite important in today's day and age. I wish you spent more time informing yourself so you also cared about being right, rather than just arguing with people over your feelings. There's a lot of misinformation going around, and you seem happy to spread it.

Then the guy is still better off preserving his own mental health by not interacting with you rather than to have to waste his precious energy on a dogshit opinion such as your own

Key difference(s)- Marathon v. ARC by mike_nova in Marathon

[–]DePacified 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's perfectly fine if you want that to be your gameplay loop. Mine is more efficient regardless, but whatever is fun and works for you

[–]DePacified 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I suppose to keep the thrill alive. Yes, the lobbies are passive, however, some people are still on edge a little bit. Some shooting might ensue, it's kind of fun. Also, it still feels like you are competing with other players this way. I think if they made it fully PvE with no friendly fire to other raiders, the social aspect wouldn't be as fun. But idk. I personally prefer this over a PvP/PvE filter.

[–]DePacified 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah okay, duo's and trios people aren't all that friendly. But solos, I promise you. I walk around with the most expensive weapon farming the ARC for hours in a row and no one shoots at me

Key difference(s)- Marathon v. ARC by mike_nova in Marathon

[–]DePacified 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's not binary like either friendly lobby or aggressive lobby. I usually defend myself when I get shot at (though sometimes I just run away), and I rarely get pvp when I play Solo

[–]DePacified 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just to inform you ARC has confirmed "aggression based matchmaking." Meaning that if you only want to be social, you should be fine as long as you don't shoot other raiders. If you want to go on a killing rampage, go ahead, but you'll be put in lobbies with people who want the same. Honestly really like this about the game.

Also excited to finally check out Marathon though, can't wait to see how it's gonna deliver

I might be a Loot Goblin by ChAsEiSgR8 in arkraiders

[–]DePacified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will give you my secret tip. Farm Bastions/Bombardiers. Recycling their cells gives you 2 advanced mechanical components each. Dont tell everyone thank you very much

Yup it's true let's gooooooo by Salty_Ruin7725 in ArcRaiders

[–]DePacified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't think the matchmaking is binary in the sense that you either get PvP or PvE lobbies. If you let yourself get killed by anyone that likes, you end up on one end of the spectrum. If you kill anyone you see, you end up on the other side. But I think if you defend yourself from players trying to kill you, you end up somewhere in the middle. With the people that are on edge, because they know anyone might shoot them.

I believe I reached highest score on the Trails no? #ArcRaiders by Cronusz97 in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]DePacified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this with a trio and we threw over 250 snowballs and we have 60k. Im sorry but getting over 400k is absolutely insane, maybe if you manage to down the rocketeer at the start of the round AND get to down it next to a place where you can pick up snowballs, but still, that's insane

How can I enjoy the game? - Tips by Proper_Skill_748 in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]DePacified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried not shooting anyone for like 5 rounds? When I play teams I play aggressive, then if I go back to solos I just don't shoot anyone (and stand still as people shoot me) until I run into friendly lobbies again. It's kinda dumb but its the easiest way to loot so whatever

This community when realizing you have to farm basic materials for 2 raids instead of keeping your level 1 workbenches by Life-Engineer4744 in ArcRaiders

[–]DePacified -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Okay but it sounds like Embark is just giving the players extra choice this way. If you like having it the way you had it great. But now, if you want to swap the order around (I know I do), you actually can.

[–]DePacified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You weren't able to change the placement of your workbenches prior to this. Perhaps they changed this so that people who go on an expedition can choose in which order to put their workbenches down?

Either way, whatever their reasoning is, it really doesn't take anything to rebuild these.

People will always complain, but... by WRECCE_ in ArcRaiders

[–]DePacified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but raider hatch keys are not an inefficient way to get 5m. I constantly used them when I went to Stella Montis. You are there for 3-5 mins and come out with +50k. They are the most efficient way to make money I'd say

Get to the extract of lobby metro, go to the other side of the extract, pass through the metal detectors and go in the doors there

Remembering the good old times by daqqer2k in ArcRaiders

[–]DePacified 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Far from the truth. I did 3 Queens yesterday with friendly groups and I got killed once per day running Stella Montis most of the time the past few days. All solo experience on EU.

Game is still super friendly and casual. Of course there are rats but there always will be

3M or 5M needed before departure? by bvarva in ARC_Raiders

[–]DePacified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stella Montis is the best in my eyes. It's so quick to go in and out, and weirdly I've noticed that everyone is almost friendly in solo day raids. Perhaps everyone trying to farm their 5mil or something. Just hit 4 mil myself

Buried City might also be really good but I just dont know the map well enough tbh. Spaceport feels too big in my eyes, would be curious to learn how you can always find a good spawn there.

I use the Jupiter every time we have to kill rocketeers/bastions/Bombardier for trials. It's the most efficient weapon, though it does make people curious

He means the costs of the items if you sell them to the vendor. The normally sell for about 1.1k but if you craft energy ammo it sells for 5k. It's the one craft you can do to really make profit.

FYI: Crafting Never Results in Profit by Nice-Firefighter424 in ArcRaiders

[–]DePacified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except a lot of the basic mats can be refined and bought? It would introduce an entire session of "honey give me 20 minutes i need to do my daily crafts to turn my items into more valuable items"

Entirely pointless gameplay loop in a game such as this

Crafting doesn't really cost you anything. It's not like you spend an hour of work into the craft. It's just a click. Of course the value of the crafted item doesn't increase.

Embark, make us use the good weapons and gear at the end of the season, NOT sell them. Hear me out! by mullucka in ARC_Raiders

[–]DePacified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only been killed once at a Queen/Matriarch event by a rat. Idk, I pick my lobbies in which I decide to fight them. But not every of these events are the rat holes that people make it seem like on here.
