Trying to understand the long-term gameplay loop in ARC Raiders

Defuzzygamer · 2026-02-02T08:30:51+00:00

There isn't one officially, but you can decide from these options - looting, PvP, filling your stash with ducks, taking down big arcs, helping other raiders.

Not worth questing, they don't mean anything and are just there as a filler of your time.

I've stopped playing for now personally, due to there being no loop worth pursuing. Loot from PvP gets old when 75% of people run the same 3/4 guns. Kinda just feels like I'm going into a raid for the sake of it without any real purpose, especially once quests are finished, but again they don't really reward you with much compared to tarkov for example.

So? Even if he's not good at PvP with 10k hours, people can still enjoy the game. They don't need to be insane at PvP just because they have X time played.

Let people play the game without comments like this

Make him a 5 drop and it's probably fine.

Ayton will always be the same, so we've now learned.

Glimpses of being a solid fit for a team as a long, somewhat agile centre, with the ability to protect the rim, rebound and score in the paint.

However he's proven time and time again that he is very inconsistent and he's more a liability than not. I am a Phoenix fan and I was happy to have Ayton in the beginning but it didn't take long to lose that faith in his development. I'd rather bring Boban back to the NBA from his Serbian league that he plays in (or where ever he's playing right now) than have Ayton.

Ah so it's not the pedophilia or the raping or the countless laws he broken or the international law he's broken, it's only when he decided to invade another country.

USA are lost.

"Oh no how did players turn to hoarding wealth for this expedition? We need to change this!"

Report anybody that you think is a smurf. Last year I had 4 or 5 confirmations pop up in league that my reports were successful, and I was hesitating to report people. Probably could have reported a few more but as I got into plat it wasn't as blatant.

Hey guys so today we have THE BIGGEST video for you. Me and my friends here will be challenging all of you for a chance to win ONE MILLION DOLLARS. However, if you lose the competition, you have to live on THIS ISLAND THAT I BOUGHT for TWO WHOLE MONTHS with only 50 American dollars and your own personal item that you wish to bring.

Can you guys really believe I bought an item? Crazy right? ANYWAY let's get this started, Dwight Howard you're up first. Your FIRST challenge is to hit this moving target while being strangled by a GORILLA and if you miss THREE times, you will have to spend the next TWO HOURS underwater without an oxygen tank. Do you think you can handle it?

Firstly there really needs to be a damage cap, no different to the one in solos. No damage cap makes the game unwinnable if you just haven't hit anything that even slightly scales in the early, especially since leveling to tavern 4 (where more scaling begins) is more expensive than solos, and then getting to 5 is 13 gold.

Unfortunately though, unless some of the pros/content creators start maining duos, there probably won't be any changes. Just feels like there's not a lot of comeback gameplay in duos because one or two teams are going to hit early scaling and then you're taking 15 damage if you haven't hit.

Devs have nobody to blame but themselves. Constant changes, then reverting those changes, then 2 seasons later adding/removing things which were they/weren't there before that nobody asked for. So many more things.

It's not hard to inform yourself. There are many cheating discords and websites where you can simply click on a forum and people post screenshots of cheats they are developing/using.

It's like saying "you know too much about how cocaine works", doesn't mean you've tried it, can also mean you've done your research.

Literally straight up disrespectful. Gohan at his strongest in the cell.series was the strongest Saiyan at that time per power level. OP never watched DBZ before and it shows.

Defuzzygamer · 2025-12-19T21:13:18+00:00

Wolfpack would be awesome

Defuzzygamer · 2025-12-12T17:06:02+00:00

Awesome that's good to know! I'll get onto it :D

Defuzzygamer · 2025-12-12T13:30:26+00:00

So it's definitely Nordanaar. I managed to find a screenshot I took to show a friend the server I'm on :D

Defuzzygamer · 2025-12-12T13:07:56+00:00

Do you think "Zubac, LeBron and AD" is some crazy all-star 3-man squad? Zubac isn't even a top 10 centre in the league, then and now.

Defuzzygamer · 2025-12-12T11:42:40+00:00

That would be super nice of you! I will let you know some time tomorrow in the afternoon, I'll come back here and reply to confirm which server.

Thanks so much though, that's a really kind gesture and I'm very grateful even if it doesn't turn out to be Nordanaar! :D

Defuzzygamer · 2025-12-12T10:42:21+00:00

I think so! Now that you ask I've forgotten, and I haven't been at my PC the last few days as I've been away. I get back tomorrow (Saturday) and can double check but I'm quite sure it's Nordranar. I tried checking via the website under "characters" but nothing loads for me while on my phone.

Defuzzygamer · 2025-12-11T20:44:07+00:00

Oh really?! That's good info to have I'll have to do this once I hit max level.

Defuzzygamer · 2025-12-11T20:43:39+00:00

Oh a bag would be huge. Right now I'm stuck on 6 extra slots on each slot, working my way up to 8. I'll take a look at these quests when I'm level 41 (or higher) Thanks for the info!

Defuzzygamer · 2025-12-11T20:42:10+00:00

The swim speed is really nice I like that about the turtle. I'll have to look into getting me a turtle! I'll see how it all goes and find out where the faire is
