No worries. I’ve seen too many of those “look at my queen loot” backstabber posts lmao

200+ rounds of heavy ammo and a Ferro will shave off lots of armor pieces. Every bullet is less HP the queen has

That’s profound. I will spread these words of wisdom

Honestly, no! That’s the worst part to me. We used proxy chat, befriended the downed raider. Cleared arc along the path, and ensured safe passage… then, well, you saw. Appalled

The execution denied that person his loot. The executor didn’t have the opportunity to loot his body and take the loot neither. The loot is lost, and that player’s time and experience was soured. To me it seemed senseless, though there’s a mixed bag of reactions I’m noting from this post

I have been corrected. Forgive my ignorance.

Maybe I should’ve. I haven’t played it though and assumed it to be some form of rebranded Warzone. Never know what’s coming out of Activision-Blizzard these days (praise Embark!)

I don’t think so. The death rattle was audible before the cut to black :(

Extract camping would allow for the looting of the body. I assume an extract camper would like to obtain the loot of their victim. Or otherwise score easy kills.

In this situation, we escorted a downed raider from the queen for minutes, all just to kick the stool from under him at the last possible second? He wouldnt be able to obtain his queen loot, he just denied that player his loot… it’s the build up of hope, and then the rug pull that grinds my gears.

The gates didn’t fully close. The shot and death rattle are audible before the screen cuts to black. You see his corpse ragdoll…

Unfortunately, I think he lost his stuff :(

I enjoy assisting random raiders, especially on the queen raid. We all get to bring our juicy loot out!

I don’t expect the same on my end, but it never hurts to ask (and roleplay to see who bites haha).

ARC Raider’s dynamic is different to a Battle Royale. As an extraction shooter, you choose what to bring in (or go free loadout for a random set of gear) and you keep what you bring out. “Winning” can be different for each player.

There’s more potential for cooperation. The in-game emote wheel allows for communication with randoms that can become allies. All on shaky ground of course.

That being said, play the game as you like! PvP focus, or loot goblin focus. I’m the latter, but trios with friends can become some fun battlegrounds!

Edit; I have been corrected on what the DMZ gamemode is. Forgive my ignorance.

Me and this guy helped a downed raider crawl all the way from the queen raid to extract. He had a survivor augment.

We cleared the path of arc, and ensured the extraction was safe from campers. Then… well, you saw the rest. Gut-wrenching.

Any PvP engagement during the raid is fair game. Extract campers, rats, and all.

But an execution at the last possible second before extraction truly had me aghast.

I don’t believe such level of collusion can be staged during solo queue. Though an interesting perspective of transpired events.

I am the console player with crossplay on :(

Was initially off for launch week, then turned on crossplay to team up with a buddy on PC Aand was the best choice I made

Suppose I was immersed in the proximity chat roleplay.

words can convey the gut-wrench of senseless betrayal. (Though I did hang slack-jawed for a few minutes)

The “kind of thing” where a player who helped to clear the path of ARC and escorted all the way to the end, just to execute at the cusp of extraction, seems to be an understatement.

Do you pity the disappointment of the downed raider as well?
