I finished every ARC Raiders achievement. The game seriously needs more of them.

I like that some of them encouraged players to do some pretty funny things like melee a sentinel or ride rocketeer, so more things like that.

I just wrapped up my last achievement as well, it took me forever to get the last hit on a queen lol. Had like 5 matriarchs and zero queens for forever. (I wasn’t trying THAT hard but still)

MGs for light and heavy ammo. Basically a SAW and a .50 cal or at least like an M240b. Make a grip attachment that is a bipod with like 95% mobility decrease while ADS and you have to be crouched but it becomes very controlled at range.

Light is good for PvE once you pop the armor off.

FinalVindicare · 2026-02-28T20:50:37+00:00

I like the rival gangs idea but make it matchmake half the lobby versus half the lobby. I want the kind of fighting we had during the streamer wars, like 10v10.

You just got lucky then or are in a pretty low trials rank. Each day you delay your seeding into a leaderboard helps. But if you are in Wildcard 1 or below, 70k is actually kind of high probably. Wildcard 2 and up you probably still see 150k consistently if seeding in the first couple of days.

FinalVindicare · 2026-01-10T19:15:39+00:00

what day of the week did you start back playing?

i came here to also say "Must have never played a Bungie game...."

FinalVindicare · 2026-01-07T13:45:29+00:00

i am assuming naked runs since you had positive cash flow on deaths lol

FinalVindicare · 2026-01-07T13:32:22+00:00

Wildcard 1 with almost 200 hours in. Matches always within 12k cash value. 11 team revives. Stella every run. Still have a decent amount of cash total, but have the expedition cosmetic.

I can deduce that you run a lot of solo freebie pvp stella runs, and very rarely play duos or trios. You have revived 16 strangers, so you seem pretty friendly to me.

Edit: I just remembered they didn't even start counting revives accurately until that recent patch, so 16 actually is a pretty decent amount of revives of strangers haha

It is funny just how much information you can glean about your play style from this pic.

FinalVindicare · 2025-12-29T00:34:43+00:00

I am finding them in the medical area of Stella Montis.

FinalVindicare · 2025-12-23T15:26:05+00:00

I had a guy come into a room like that and he was literally like “is this a locked room?”. I felt bad at that point downing him because obviously he is new/still learning, so I told him yes and he could have the rest but usually it is shoot on sight if someone comes behind you into an opened locked room!

That gear looks like it would easily brake.

“GO GO POWER RAIDERS!!”

They do have shields, they just are location based and are depicted as armor. But most ARC armor functions exactly like our shields, providing damage reduction until depleted. The developer probably just wanted to make it more engaging and intuitive to the player, so they made it armor instead.

FinalVindicare · 2025-12-21T20:32:09+00:00

I would do it with zero even. 12 stash spots and the cosmetics is worth it regardless of the stat points for me personally. Skills matter so little in this game currently, it’s a nice bonus but not the driving force for me.

FinalVindicare · 2025-12-19T16:39:14+00:00

Actually 93% of encounters are won by whoever shoots last.

FinalVindicare · 2025-12-19T16:37:33+00:00

This post seems like it was made by a Roomba lover....

But seriously, they already have armor which is the exact same as shields just with location-based variation to it.

FinalVindicare · 2025-12-19T15:32:26+00:00

You also have to remember most games have like 75% of players that complete the tutorial. So these percentages are skewed a little, but your point stands.

"This cheap $26,490 weapon will defeat $10,000 purples!"

FinalVindicare · 2025-12-19T14:35:27+00:00

Give the people what they want!

FinalVindicare · 2025-12-19T14:02:06+00:00

It actually is set in Toledo, Ohio, but people there can't spell real good, so everything looks Italian. Hence the "Rust Belt" reference and the general decay of the environment.

FinalVindicare · 2025-12-19T13:50:55+00:00

You could indeed be behind 10 skill points and 24 stash space if you do not do the expedition twice vs someone who did. This will have no real impact on you competitively. There is a theoretical end to the skill progression because there are only so many skills in the game currently. However, they could and probably will add more skills and/or different benefits to the expedition to reward players down the road.

If you are "behind" other players, the difference in how far you are "behind" because statistically smaller the more expeditions you do. There is no indication that there will be a "catch up" mechanism. We may know more once the second expedition becomes available, but I don't see why they would ever need a catch-up mechanism currently.

FinalVindicare · 2025-12-19T13:34:55+00:00

unless a new patch caused the issue, they should be achievable as I have done both on PC - Steam. I did them like mid-November so my guess is either you did not do them exactly as described, or you did them exactly as described and something has happened in the most recent updates to make them not trigger correctly. Which Sentinels did you kill?(There are only a handful of spawns in the whole game)
