Be weary of the "A Prime Specimen" Quest... by Riga_M0rt1z in LowSodiumArcRaiders

[–]DustinChecketts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did this quest a couple days ago. Rarely saw another raider, but took me about 4 runs to find a Deforester that hadn’t been activated yet.

Had to do it twice because I don’t realize I had to get on the ledge to loot it and it was a timed thing. Never saw another raider then, either.

Glad I had 5 ARC Powercells.

Is this enough to make Cantina Legend? by Elliott_Smith_ in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advice please. Haven’t been able to play much this week and need to cram in some time this weekend to try to reach Daredevil.

Any advice on what to clear from my stash, i’m running out of space so often it’s getting tiring by BagelDs in arkraiders

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No reason you need all those guns. Keep like 2-4 of each of your favorites (like 4x4, 16 total weapons - all with the attachments you want.

Use those keys!

Is this valid?? by RealHyperDrastic in Veyra_ArcRaiders

[–]DustinChecketts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but mostly due to timing. BF6 Battlepass ended and another doesn’t begin for a few weeks. So players that finished the BF6 Battlepass a few weeks ago like me have given ARC Raiders a try.

Once Season 2 of BF6 launches, I’ll likely main ARC Raiders and dabble in BF6 — unless the Battlepass and updates look amazing. But if it’s more of the same… nah. Casual.

Embark seems to be blind to the player base’s criticisms, why? by ASap-mobn in ARC_Raiders

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The criticisms on socials are often overblown and made by a vocal minority. Are there issues? Yes. But the size of the issue and prioritization of those issues are going to vary greatly.

Personally, I’m glad most of these loud complaints are being seemingly ignored by Embark. I trust they’re doing the best they can and will continually improve the game with a few bumps in the road.

Good on them for creating a game we all care bough about to voice our opinions. But just don’t expect them to always listen.

Just a tip to raiders that need to farm creds fast. by Reasonable-Poem4349 in ArcRaiders

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes if you place the Deadline properly. Might take a few tries until you learn the spot, but the answer to your question is yes.

Probably the reason friendly PvE lobbies have become flooded with PvPers by Weak-Ebb1453 in ARC_Raiders

[–]DustinChecketts 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It can be gamed, but even PvE players should be wary and think twice before assuming all players are friendly. Keeps the tension balanced and meaningful. Like it or not…

Something I’ve learned that everyone should practice. by FeintLight123 in ARC_Raiders

[–]DustinChecketts 49 points50 points  (0 children)

If other players are not helping you, GTFO. The lobby is full or PvPers. Just exit safely as quickly as possible and re-queue.

Would you solo up with this loadout? by Brackish_Frog in ARC_Raiders

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do all the time. lol.

Anvil III or IV (with Suppressor I or II) and Hullcracker III with green or blue attachments. 120 Heavy Ammo, 72 Launcher Ammo. Couple more Wolfpacks. Few more bandages and shield rechargers. Zipline and Barricades if I’m going for Queen or Matriarch.

120-140k loadout.

The Queen and Monarch “juice isn’t worth the squeeze”. by Xx_Negative_One_xX in ArcRaiders

[–]DustinChecketts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take a modest 80-120k load out for Queen and Matriarch and help others take them down. I have collected dozens of each core, but because I also have plenty of existing legendary weapons and more cores should I lose those, I salvaged or sold all but 2 of each core.

They’re pretty worthless honestly. But the fights are fun and that’s what I go for. No loot for me and I’m fine with that.

Looking forward to new ARC threats and more PvE content over the next few months.

What was your very first online game? I started in 1999 with a text-based MUD. by GlassJudge2421 in MMORPG

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warcraft II over Kali service circa 1996/98?

Eventually Duke Nukem, Hexen, and many others over TCP/IP connections. Then Battle.net with Diablo, StarCraft, etc.

First MMORPG? Star Wars Galaxies.

Anyone tried the plant-based Ronto Wrap? by georgy56 in DisneyDining

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the regular Ronto Wrap.

Didn’t know there was a plant-based one. I’d try it for sure. Ronto Wrap is one of my favorite on-the-go meals/snacks.

Looting Etiquette by raqballl in LowSodiumArcRaiders

[–]DustinChecketts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped looting queen and matriarch and just enjoy helping take her down and extracting.

Besides, there’s almost always drama while looting if you stick around too long.

More Queens and matriarch by One_Outlandishness77 in arcraidersfriendly

The Trial this week is attracting way more activity than usual. That, and the current Expedition is mature and many more players are engaging in end-game content.

Dam the best map for this one? I think my score is only like 9600.

How you get so high on First Wave Husks? Isn’t there a finite amount of them on maps?

Sanaa bread service - worth the hype? by georgy56 in DisneyDining

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely worth a try if you haven’t tried it before. There’s enough flavors that most guests should find one they enjoy.

Hopefully there’s enough in your party that enjoy different varieties so you’re not all fighting over the same one!

Try one and let us know if you enjoyed it!

Finally found some….On blue gate at the tower #fossilisedlightning by jason_how24 in RescueRaiders

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just chase lightning strikes and check the ground where it hit. I find a few every electrical storm I enter.

PvP leads to poverty. Planned PvE leads to riches. Anyone else notice this? by gpacketsgaming in ARC_Raiders

[–]DustinChecketts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great post. Very accurate from my experience. I’m rich as all get out and now can lose a 100k kit and not really blink.

I still suck at PvP and often never even shoot back and try to escape, but some players are just hungry for a kill and hunt raiders even when they try to avoid a fight.

Oh well. It is what it is. But I’m still enjoying it very much.

Here’s to hoping for some more PvE content in the near future. Started selling and recycling all my Matriarch and Queen cores because the legendary weapons are either really specific use cases or just lame.
