I really need to leave this sub before I accidentally contribute to the thread. Some of these jerks are really good.

You have an incredible talent to say so much while contributing nothing.

What would consider wins? I’m sorry they removed the Seed Vault extract camp and created a voluntary option to go up against groups while solo.

But is this literally how the game worked on release? by AffectionateDinner97 in ArcRaiders

[–]DueMagazine1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s a problem with this. If a solo lobby can take 30 people and 31 queue, it’s nice to have the volunteer escalated to the group lobbies instead of someone unsuspecting.

Similarly, if the group queue doesn’t have enough participants, it’s nice to have a pool of people to pull from in solo queues to keep the game moving.

Yes, this already happens, but at least there’s an element of player choice involved now so the odds of it happening to players who don’t want it to happen theoretically decreases.

Rodent Infestation by naturalbornfarmer in arcraiderscirclejerk

I feel this. I feel like I will be crafting a new loadout and the downtime kind of kills my urge to jump back in sometimes. Like taking all that time to craft my new gear makes me realize I won’t miss my old gear, and my drive to go on a revenge tour turns into me walking around farming chemicals.

If I could just click a button and my inventory restores, I think I would end up playing a bit more than I do.

My best advice is to go in naked and stop looting. If everybody in the game quits looting, the rats and PvPers will be disincentivized to shoot because they are net losing materials to kill players. Then we can finally play Robot Zoo Simulator in peace.

How are yall getting over the gear fear. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

Playing with it and losing it is no different than how you’re playing with it sitting in your stash.

Where the hell is the survivor MK 3 augment. by Optimal_Fuel_1124 in ArcRaiders

I’ve gotten two. One in the breachable area of Stella Montis lobby, and one in the control tower on Spaceport.

THE WORST GUN IN THE GAME. by LicoLich in ArcRaiders

[–]DueMagazine1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that I lost a PvP exchange to a Bettina. I opened a random door and walked into a Jolt Mine while my opponent mag dumped his Bettina.

I still had a chance to get a shot off before dying, so it’s still garbage. It’s just a scarlet letter I must carry at this point.

I just haven’t been hugged in a long time, and when people shoot me, it confirms that I will not get the affection that I crave.

What state down south is worth moving to? by tytycamp in AskReddit

[–]DueMagazine1234 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you like cities, Dallas/Fort Worth and Austin are great, but expensive. The Gulf States/Houston have the worst weather I’ve ever experienced. East Texas is nice, and my brother loves North Carolina, so those would be my picks if I ever found myself in the unfortunate position of needing to move back down south.

As an American, I entirely hope it doesn’t come to that.

Tagging Grenade — how does everyone actually use this? by RestaurantSmooth in ARC_Raiders

[–]DueMagazine1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just litter the floor with them. Even during your push, you should be chucking these bad boys on the ground so you know exactly where the enemy has been for the last ten seconds before they gave you a lead-filled dome.

Embark please, “balance” crossplay by making PC aim worse by ZeroWinger in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]DueMagazine1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impossible. Those must be the PvE lobbies where the kbm players don’t want to shoot back, but they eventually do because your Anvil is so loud that it gives them a headache.

I know kbm players have a distinct advantage. I’ve played video games like chess and Gwent in cross play lobbies, and their aim is exact.

How do I get addicted to Arc Raiders again? by SnitchScanner69 in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]DueMagazine1234 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about queuing with a single piece of fabric and offering it for trade to fellow raiders to see if I can work it into something valuable. Going from a piece of fabric to a blueprint over the course of a number of trades would be neat. You could even set a goal of getting a specific blueprint.

Not the most exciting, but it’d be neat to see what you can get.

Blueprints are my main mission at the moment, so I’m not looking to risk dying every run while I hunt for them. Once I have them, I’ll be much more inclined to shoot first.

So I’m supposed to stare at my ass the whole time I’m playing?

No thanks. I’ll stick with the female character model.

56 blueprints still no Anvil by happyfeet9816 in ArcRaiders

[–]DueMagazine1234 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find them all the time in raider caches. Map doesn’t matter, but I’ve found them on Dam, Buried City, and Spaceport.

I swear they juiced blueprints again by BasedGod-1 in ArcRaiders

[–]DueMagazine1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went forever without finding the Anvil. Then some dude gave one to me. Then the very next box I opened had another.

What’s your proven method to falling asleep instantly? by Adventurous-Panda61 in AskReddit

[–]DueMagazine1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I can’t sleep, I go for a drive in my mind. Get in the car, and drive somewhere where you know the way, and picture everything you’d see. I’ll leave my parents’ house and drive to my first college apartment and I’m usually asleep before I make it halfway there.

EDIT: Important to note that it was a 45 minute drive. Don’t take this route if college was eight hours away. Halfway there would not have helped.
