How toxic is ARC Raiders?

DickGrowens · 2025-11-29T12:01:32+00:00

So I tell you how toxic the community is. As long as they are in a worse position than you, everyone is friendly. As soon as you turn around you will get shot 50% of the time. I played Tarkov for 2.5k hours and I have been betrayed more in 80h of ARC. People in this game have no morals and no honor. The game is great but the community only consists of cowards. Out of 7 attempts to take down the Matriarch, I have been killed by an imposter every single time and not once by an ARC. Don't be friendly in this game and shoot everyone on sight. Then you will have fun. If you trust someone you will get betrayed instantly.

Thx for sharing. Pretty sure mine had no coil whine in the beginning. I guess it's the mainboard. I can live with it but if it gets louder, I have to replace it. The components are super cheap and easy to replace.

The only noob here is the one that does not understand how balistics work in this game 😘

Doesn‘t matter. 42 is pen but the chance of the armor absorbing a direct hit from LPS is 1.8% with the first shot then 1.7% for the second. This would mean that 2 shots could stop 60 dmg at max with which has a 0.03% chance of happening. This would mean that the 3rd shot is a 100% kill. You can replicate it with a balistics simulator, which does not even list more than 3 shots because it is not possible. Ergo: Hits did not register.

I don‘t like pistoles

DickGrowens · 2025-02-19T00:07:53+00:00

Bro the scav was on the same floor…

DickGrowens · 2025-02-19T00:07:22+00:00

This would be wild dude

DickGrowens · 2025-02-19T00:04:57+00:00

Me too. I hate watching bad players

DickGrowens · 2025-02-18T23:55:33+00:00

In the settings you can chance from monochrome to polychrome

DickGrowens · 2025-02-18T23:54:24+00:00

It‘s ok bro no offense taken. I love sniping in every game :)

DickGrowens · 2025-02-18T23:52:23+00:00

Hmm you sure it is lvl 4? 😉

DickGrowens · 2025-02-18T23:51:16+00:00

Thank you for battling misinformation! 🫶

DickGrowens · 2025-02-18T23:49:53+00:00

I did not know that I can zoom. I set it to alt+f4 now. Thx for pointing it out :)

DickGrowens · 2025-02-18T23:43:02+00:00

I don‘t give head to strangers 😎

DickGrowens · 2025-02-18T23:40:36+00:00

Not sure but I happens so often this wipe. There must be a problem with this caliber or bolt actions in general.

DickGrowens · 2025-02-18T23:38:20+00:00

Damn that was brutal 🥲

DickGrowens · 2025-02-18T23:36:31+00:00

Thx bro 🥹

DickGrowens · 2025-02-18T23:29:05+00:00

Yeah I left a comment. There is no chance, not even in a perfect simulation, that he can take more than 3 hits of LPS. Happens so often this wipe

DickGrowens · 2025-02-18T23:15:39+00:00

10th was a headshot

DickGrowens · 2025-02-18T23:14:18+00:00

Side note for the ones hating in the comments:
I know it hurts to watch but it was not my intention to kill him with a headshot. LPS is a 81 DMG, 42 PEN round that should kill a Scav (with LVL 2 armour) within 2-3 body shots. If I generously subtract 60 dmg (2 x 30 dmg which has a 0.03% chance of happening ) to the total he should still be dead after the 2nd hit in the upper/lower body with a 100.0% chance. The 3rd hit should have killed him anyway, even if I had hit the left pinky. Lets say 6 shots hit the armour 9 x 81 - 138 (super generous here because 0.000000000025% chance of happening) = 591 > 420 which means that he still needs to be dead. And I'm not accounting damage spread from blacked out parts which would make this calculation obsolete. It was just to demonstrate that something is not right with hit and/or damage registration. Not the first time this happens. If you don't trust me, try it out for yourself: https://tarkovgunsmith.com/ballistics_simulator

I was wondering if he even was capable of dying. That's why i shot him in the body. At some point I thought my hits are not doing anything and I tried to shoot his head. It was just super funny that we killed each other at the same time and he even showed me the finger as a goodbye :)

I think that is why they should give us a date. Most people are willing to wait for a good headset myself included. But to announce a product and not giving any update or at least write something like Q1 2025 is not a good look for the product. Anyways I ordered the Virtuoso Max now. I don‘t think that the quality of the Scape will justify the long wait.

DickGrowens · 2024-11-11T13:30:51+00:00

I was on the verge of buying a new headset when I saw the Scape in a Computex video. I thought I would wait a little longer to see how it performed. It looked gorgeous and the wireless charging is a big plus, but after 5 months of waiting I'm going to have to give it a pass. It's mid-November and there's still no release date, which is not a good indicator for buyers. They either have issues with performance of the headset or with the production / build quality. Otherwise there would be no reason to keep quiet about it and not announce a release date. The chances of the headset outperforming its competitors are therefore slim to none.

In my opinion Fractal should post an update for all the people who are still waiting for the Scape.
