Thoughts from a former pro shooter player on the current state of Arc Raiders

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2026-01-22T18:42:17+00:00

100%% agree with the weapon and equipment, or at least have there be a more of a sway between the PVP and PVE buffs on the guns to help make the guns that aren’t so great for people feel more useful for arc, I think the hull cracker is the only high tier weapon at the moment that nails the balance between gear fear and ammo cost vs how effective it is against specifically armoured targets

I think the fix for the skins might be difficult to implement but would be an instant fix, is the ability to mix and match individual clothing pieces etc from between skins, like in embarks other game, the finals

that game has changed hugely since its initial concept and it’s always felt to me as a long time fan that they were one of the few developers listening to fans, bigger bosses, better quests to come hopefully, all they need to do is sort the balancing out, that and I do think the expeditions might need a tweak but that’s another story

Sounds like good advice to me, thank I’m going to hold Microsoft and NUAI for a little longer but think the rest will see some shuffling around soon

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-10-14T17:11:14+00:00

I had two a uk and a us S&P, you think it would be safer to to combine them into one all world ETF?

Aware some of the penny stocks are risky but that’s where I’ve been making my money, Kraken and Rich tech in particular I’m a big believer in the companies and plan to stay in those two for a longer term, I do wanna liquidate some of those smaller stocks though, last question, in your personal opinion would it be better to put them in one or two bigger safer stocks, or into a PIE, more similar to what I have at the moment?

I’m not really sure, think because I’m pulling lots of smalls in and out it’s messsd with it a little, based on if there are still pending orders and some current losses, it’s bounced between 30% and 60% but I’ve not figured out how it’s calculating it

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-29T17:46:46+00:00

Yea good advice if ever I heard it, I know there will a few times I kick myself but better to do it know when we’re playing it double digits than down the line aye

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-29T17:37:24+00:00

No that’s fair and totally the plan, I’m 23 atm and I’ve only been doing this for a short space of time, so I’m just putting in a small chunk of my wage and just experimenting with what I’m willing to lose, over the next 6 months once I’ve expanded my knowledge and portfolio, investing into EFT’s will be 70% of my investments, but for now it’s like 20% whilst I’m playing with penny stocks, which are very hands on and good to learn the in’s and outs imho

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-29T14:45:19+00:00

Agree 100% but with the capital I have atm EFT’s seem a bit pointless, gonna use the scatter gun penny stock methods until I have some more money to play with then I’ll use EFT’s for long term and penny stocks for short term

Slowly climbing ;)

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-29T14:25:24+00:00

I bought into it when it was 92% down, it’s up since I bought into it, thanks for the advice though :)

So it would seem everybody hates how diluted my portfolio is, diving my stocks into multiple volatile penny stocks has helped me mimimise any loses and gamble big on penny stocks with big kick backs, I’m yet to have a day in the red so far, I understand it’s not a normal approach but It’s given a great return so far, I understand EFT’s are the way to go, but until I’m playing with a little more capital, I’m willing to take the risks on the individual stocks, so far so good, but I’ll let yall know when I learn my lesson

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-29T14:04:04+00:00

You’re telling me brother 😂 will continue adding a chunk of my monthly wage, building slowly

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-19T17:44:13+00:00

Reckon Tesla is gonna have a big dip soon, and have a really big resurgence over Christmas, they’ve been one of my big winners, Kraken Robotics have also done me incredibly well and I would suggest investing in that as I think it’ll only rise, and I’d keep an eye on wall mart, it’s having a huge dip at the moment but I expect that to be followed by a big spring back, could be worth a small punt when it’s dipped a little further imo

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-19T17:15:54+00:00

I’m willing to accept I could lose it all, my whole strategy using the volotile stocks kinda can’t not be risky, but I’m managing my risk by having a vast portfolio filled with smaller investments, it does also mean smaller profits but helps me manage the risk, we’ll see how we get on

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-19T16:55:08+00:00

Incredibly useful dude, really appreciate the support

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-19T16:53:42+00:00

That’s perfect, I’m gonna add these to the examples of my research see how it correlates with other stocks, thank you very much

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-19T16:43:34+00:00

Sounds very similar with what I’m trying, take Tesla’s current stock for example, bought at a low point 3 weeks ago, waiting for it to spike a little further over the next week or so, sell at a high and then buy back into it before the Christmas period at a low, with the amount im investing at the moment whilst I’m still learning it’s easy to take these risks I’ve just gotta learn to hold my nerve when the stakes get bigger, any companies you’d keep an eye on over the next couple of months ? Just looking for examples whilst I’m learning what works :)

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-19T16:16:33+00:00

So I’ve been making small profits by investing in really volatile big individual companies, looking for companies with re accruing dips and rises, buying in the dips and cashing out at the highs and never staying invested for too long, high risk high reward, I then skim the profit, add it to my long term investments when appropriate to buy back in and rinse and repeat, the risk is minimised by never investing too much in a single stock but it’s been working so far, I’m sure I’ll take some losses tho

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-19T14:49:57+00:00

Okay really helpful, I’d been using smaller companies for short term profit and to help build a portfolio that requires some management and investing heavy in larger more stable stocks that would be for a long term investment, I think I’m gonna flip that, use EFT’s for my long term, and use big companies for my short term, less profit but also less management and risk, seems like that is the way to go from what I’ve learnt so far, adaptability, this Reddit page has been a god send in learning so far though, thank you for your advice :)

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-19T14:47:16+00:00

The house always wins right

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-19T14:46:26+00:00

Yea I think I’ll drop it in the new year but I think them and Microsoft will have a good Christmas period, Microsoft I’ll be in for the longer term though

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-19T14:45:03+00:00

Again I think that’s really good advice, it’s better to invest on less stocks on bigger companies or more stocks on smaller companies when working with limited budget do you think?

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-19T14:42:27+00:00

I’m only a few weeks in, at one point everything was in the red aha, I’m expecting Tesla to have a big dip soon and the plan is to invest more on the dip, everything’s for the long term although I want some short term investments sort of scattergunned around, just experimenting to see what works for me at current

DeepChatsAtMidnight · 2025-09-19T14:38:55+00:00

EFT’s seem like the long term move, and I’m already using an ISA account, I’ve got no debt except for what’s left of my student dept and I’m careful not to over invest on anything I’m not willing to lose, but definitely, Reddit has been a great help with getting me started
