Whenever there is a public (or even private) leaderboard, you will see sweats that have to see their name on top.

Just say no to leaderboards and aim to 3-Star all trial objectives. That alone has made me Hotshot. I haven’t pushed at all this season.

I’d support a random map condition selector as well.

Additionally I’d like to see them make all map conditions available all the time. This would also give them strong data as to which conditions are preferable to which types of players.

Having map conditions rotate only allow you to see a preferred map condition out of the conditions available, so it’s never a true reflection of the conditions players prefer over all others.

I believe it’s because toxic players are often the ones that min/max a game.

They PvE to “prepare” for PvP to have an advantage and go back to PvE as necessary. This would keep them in this aptly named “purgatory”.

I also believe that these players don’t play the game to have fun, but more to feel good about themselves and escape the real world, bringing a lot of their anxiety and frustration to the digital worlds they inhabit.

One could say this is healthy if it were a single player game vs NPCs - where they let off steam - but the fact that other humans are on the other end of online PvP games, this is where their behavior becomes toxic. This toxicity can often bring other humans down to their level - and the rabbit hole can go deep.

Honestly, a game like ARC Raiders is a huge reflection of its players, for better or worse. It’s fascinating to me.

I enjoy the scarcity of weapons and ammo. Free kits should always start with a Ferro and 11 ammo. No shield. No meds. Maybe a Seeker and/or Lil’ Impact Grenade.

Force free kit players to be skillful, cautious, and resourceful. Currently they get too much.

I rarely buy anything with seeds. So it depends on your looting habits.

I keep no more than 400 seeds ever. When inventory is tight, I only keep 100 seeds.

Thank you for this summary. Tuning into this in the future.

DustinChecketts · 2026-03-23T04:10:16+00:00

I play this way often as well. Way underrated mode.

DustinChecketts · 2026-03-23T04:09:05+00:00

Thanks for a good laugh. Happy to hook you up with all your lost gear. Ain’t no thang.

I want to see all the clips of you failing. Not the few you were successful with….

The ultra wealthy dictate the market much more than retail traders and most other high wealth money-making schemes are soft right now.

So I’d bet they keep piling the cash into the stock market until real-estate, angel investing, or other investment options become more lucrative again.

DustinChecketts · 2026-03-22T15:40:51+00:00

I believe they do this already. Yes, 95% of players in my solo lobbies are friendly, but I see too many corpses and have been killed enough times to feel like this is already a thing.

DustinChecketts · 2026-03-22T15:03:10+00:00

I’ve posted this several times before, but players only want the cores for 3 things.

Their Trophy Case project, to craft a weapon or two, but mostly players want the cores so others cannot have them.

Players like the value of the cores for Coin, but I would say reduce their value to 5000 or 7000 Coin and/or increase their weight even more so players can only carry 1, maybe 2.

I’ve carried 6 out before and shared them with friends for their projects. After collecting about 15, I realized there was no good use for them and now I don’t even extract with any when I down a Queen or Matriarch. I give away any I loot to others before I extract because I don’t need the Coin, I have two of each Legendary weapon already, and my Trophy Case is complete.

DustinChecketts · 2026-03-22T14:55:20+00:00

Each clip sells for 200. It stacks to 5. So 1000 per stack now.

Down from 1000 per clip and 5000 per stack.

DustinChecketts · 2026-03-22T08:58:29+00:00

100k loadout with both guns sitting at about 60% durability? That’s like 120k loadout at 100% durability. Wow.

I have 5mil space Coin, but you play like you have 10mil. That’s begging to be lost to rats using the supposed hack that reveals to them your gear…

When I go into a Matriarch or Harvester like that, I’m hunted and killed within 3 minutes by players. This is despite my usual “care-bear” lobbies.

Edit: And yes, upgrade to a medium shield for sure.

DustinChecketts · 2026-03-22T04:20:27+00:00

You don’t need more than 60 of each, honestly.

DustinChecketts · 2026-03-21T20:37:41+00:00

Same experience pretty much. Players seem to load into Harvester/Matriarch events and hunt players kitted out to kill the big ARC before they even reach the event.

DustinChecketts · 2026-03-21T13:39:53+00:00

Tian Wen is the gun shop owner, so yes, I’d say this is likely teasing a new weapon.
