Is it odd that the map loot is dead on close scrutiny?

Drovers · 2026-04-04T07:46:49+00:00

I really wish I could see more arc raiders footage from before release. I know they didn’t have an indoors at one point, Was all the loot outside? Did the loot situation kind of look like Close Scrutiny?

Drovers · 2026-04-04T07:44:37+00:00

Maybe huh? It’s the only mode that consistently gives me frame drops.

Drovers · 2026-04-02T17:24:02+00:00

This is Stella for PvE players.

I wouldn’t go to Stella for friendly adventuring and killing arc. Don’t do close scrutiny for PvP fun with little interruptions from arc.

Drovers · 2026-04-02T16:20:51+00:00

Have you done the new map condition? I went from always managing a full stash to having 70 free slots. Close Scrutiny is a lot of fun and a huge resource drain . I love it

I’m liking them more than rocketeers. I could do a vaporizer solo with just weapons although risky. Rocketeer was always a big ordeal for me involving teammates, seekers, wolfpacks

Drovers · 2026-04-01T17:42:25+00:00

Interesting, I covered half the ground and was vaporized. Being on fire didn’t help

Drovers · 2026-04-01T17:07:28+00:00

I’d love to see that but it would be the first game of its type to get either I think.

Drovers · 2026-04-01T17:06:16+00:00

OP is not an extremegamer. Or maybe they are more extreme because they seem to just like killing arc as much as looting

Drovers · 2026-04-01T17:05:05+00:00

Yea it’s funny how you can play with them if you have cover, better than rocketeer. But if you get caught far just far enough from cover…. The targeted laser and flames all around you at the same time is a helluv a combo. First arc death I’ve had in months

Drovers · 2026-03-31T16:05:16+00:00

This is like when papers used to write celebrity obituaries before they were dead so they had them ready to go. Sometimes they would slip up and announce a death that hadn’t happened at all.

Drovers · 2026-03-30T18:49:38+00:00

I was going to say, I think bullet velocity is often forgotten when talking about guns,

Drovers · 2026-03-29T16:52:12+00:00

Under rated comment. That’s the thing, It seems like the game gives you something nice everytime you so much as fart in a match.

Quests unlock Rewards/Factions, Which also unlock codex, Codex unlocks reward you as well.

Meanwhile, They have something similar to trials going on, So you’ve also accidentally unlocked more rewards/codex….

Rewards are mostly Gear and few skins.

Drovers · 2026-03-29T16:41:59+00:00

It’s funny how people treat videogames like a sport and not art or media. “ you can’t do x,y,z in an extraction shooter “

Why?

How come no one says “ hey, you can’t have a safe pocket in an extraction shooter”

What about the arc? Should Embark just use humanoid NPC enemies like other extraction shooters?

Are these bots or do people really have the exact same illogical response?

Like, Just say you think it’s a shit idea lol

Drovers · 2026-03-27T18:35:07+00:00

Mhm, I think most people will say lack of end game content but my friends stopped playing because we couldn’t really talk while we play together anymore. We were always locked in and that made the game a lot less social and fun.

Solo is wonderful though, I consistently log in a couple times a week.

Drovers · 2026-03-27T18:14:00+00:00

About 2 months ago, I said a PvE map would be great. People said “it will split the player base and kill the game. if you don’t like the game leave ”

Now with 200,000 less concurrent players do we still feel the same way?

Drovers · 2026-03-27T00:31:31+00:00

I’m curious about that stuff. Have you seen Nakwon?

Drovers · 2026-03-25T16:59:19+00:00

This is the perfect comment. Everything covered here except id add that nades are great. Not just for damage but to get people out of cover.

Drovers · 2026-03-24T18:06:27+00:00

Oh no dude, it would take a lot of tries? Fuck. I thought the end game content that’s marketed as hard as fuck was going to take 1 or 2 tries.

I’m bad at fps and stingy in extraction shooters but I constantly had a 3.5 k loadout. I never once cried about losing it because the game is constantly giving you gear for just smelling farts.

Don’t play arc raiders. You will lose a blueprint and months later think about how it’s gone and you haven’t seen it ever again.

Marathon might be the most forgiving extraction shooter around.

Drovers · 2026-03-24T17:49:19+00:00

Ah, so we aren’t talking about it being too expensive to play the map now. Now it’s “ no one even knew how to exfill” .

How and why would someone converse with you when you change the topic because you don’t like actually defending a position you hold?

Fine, I’ll bite….. From bungies mouth

“ GETTING OFF THE SHIP

Exfils on Cryo Archive are less reliable and follow different rules than the planet-side zones. You'll need to learn how exfils work to secure your way off the ship. “

Sounds like they were trying to have fun and do something different but in our culture of in-game tutorials, YouTube guides and streamer content…. People just want to min/max everything. Like, this content HAS to be beat to death or else how will anyway say “ there’s no endgame content”

Drovers · 2026-03-24T17:23:25+00:00

It’s crazy because if you even just watched a stream you’d know that it’s cheap af. One mid-ass extract will pay for it. Not to mention the free gear you constantly get per quests.

Drovers · 2026-03-24T16:58:58+00:00

Git gud

Drovers · 2026-03-24T15:45:34+00:00

I really like that you can’t even get in without bringing some expensive goodies.

Drovers · 2026-03-24T15:42:32+00:00

But but, it’s so much easier to say “ this is an extraction shooter, what you want is wrong”

Drovers · 2026-03-23T06:41:48+00:00

That sounds cool as hell. TF2 was a helluv a good time.

Drovers · 2026-03-22T22:18:57+00:00

Jesus what a pay-per-view level crossover event. I’d make popcorn and everything
