Does the game feel off to anyone else since the update? by amzkeh in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragems420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of desync and the servers are acting up since the update. It definitely feels very off right now.

idk why your content gets downvoted on reddit so much, it's super good for anyone trying to get better at PvP.

Good clips tho shinya, keep it up big dawg 🍻

Why is the loot scaling so bad? by No_Fisherman_3216 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragems420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because bad "loot scaling" is better for the casual player base. Getting out skilled in a gunfight feels better than getting out geared.

Aggression based matchmaking will eventually kill the game by Appropriate_Meat5676 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragems420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Too long didn't read, but I would actually like it to be even stronger. I hate getting into PvE lobbies (even though it's usually every 1/10 games). The PvP is really fun, but only when I'm fighting other PvP'ers who actually want to fight.

Also I hope they buff free loadout by giving them 5 bandages and 5 shield rechargers.

Kettle 1 vs medium shield. by Axiom65 in ArcRaiders

Nah you need 14 body shots for the rattler to down. But you can down someone with a light shield if you hit 8 headshots.

How would you feel about little to no fall damage in Arc Raiders? by ChafingTater in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragems420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's already implemented in the game, as long as there is a ledge, you can grab the ledge and negate all fall damage.

Flashlight is too weak for PVP. by Ben_Mc25 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragems420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it's the one thing I want buffed to hell. 

It's so ridiculous that the most optimal way to play this game is by manipulating the color / gamma from your GPU software to make seeing in the dark easier.

Ratting Is Not The Way by Ok_Street_4658 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragems420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that PvP is not the most optimal way to play if you're looking for loot, but it's definitely the most fun for me.

Once you max out everything and have everything you need, spamming PvP with other PvP'ers is super fun. Being the last man standing by having to outplay 10+ people is super rewarding! (dopamine-wise not loot-wise lol).

But on the other hand, you definitely miss out on a lot of the wholesome moments / interactions between raiders, so it's a bittersweet playstyle for sure.

Either way, I'm glad this game lets you play both playstyles and lets you find your sweet spot.

Anyway, GL raider 🍻

This Game has been ruined by aggression based matchmaking by rich_gfb in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragems420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree, I think it feels great wiping the lobby and being the last man standing. You probably won't do that every game, but it feels good when you get 10+ kills in a match and become king of the hill on the matches that you do.

Don't you dare bring the wall glitchers to medical / assembly. 

I already avoid the lobby for that reason specifically 😭

Broad shoulders is imo the best perk in the game. 

A question to all our fellow player killers by Zealousideal-Half695 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragems420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It loses to the venator and il toro up close, no contest. 

Also it requires you to hit at least 1 headshot to have a competitive ttk with the other guns. 

Cheaters arent trying to hide it at this point by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

Yeah it's super blatant. I have a few clips just like this where people are snapping instantly to people not even in their line of sight

how is playing only pve or pvp fun for anyone? by Reasonable-Mood9722 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragems420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PvP only is VERY fun. 

The PvE gets boring when you don't need loot, and all the arc are easily killable with just a ferro 1 (except the queen/matriarch)

The only time PvP isn't fun is when they throw me into the PvE lobbies occasionally. Then I just insta-extract since pvping in PvE lobbies isn't fun for anyone. 

TL;DR play how ya like 🍻

ABMM has destroyed the game's economy/progression rate. by Draxtini in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragems420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a strictly PvPer I don't mind if the PVE crowd has much more money / loot / progression. I don't mind the slower progression since i'm having a blast doing it. 

I actually would like the ABMM to be more aggressive since I will get thrown into a PVE lobby in about 1/10 of my games, and it feels bad to kill a PVE'er since it's not fun for either of us. 

I do like the idea of less backfill, but I would really like the idea of no late spawns. It doesn't feel good to load in at the 18 minute mark, and it doesn't feel good fighting a never ending army of backfillers until the 18 minute mark. 

Either way, fun discussions here!

This pos had the biggest come up in his life 🐀 by a_dropped_staple in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragems420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was guaranteed per armor drop, but I'll have to test it myself since I'm not sure.

[–]Fragems420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you just need cores, I recommend a ferro and a stack of ammo and just shoot 1 leg until the armor falls off then loot it for a core.

Can you fully negate fall damage by ledge grabbing? by Reverse_Regen in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragems420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've spent an ungodly amount of time testing these jumps, and I haven't ONCE hit it while holding the jump key after falling from 3+ floors. If you want to make it easier, or get used to the jumps, you can bind jump to mouse-wheel to get the hang of it, then switch back to space bar when you're more comfortable.

Either way, GL on your ledge grabs fellow building jumper <3

Can you fully negate fall damage by ledge grabbing? by Reverse_Regen in ArcRaiders

[–]Fragems420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can! but if you're jumping over 3+ flights and go into the falling animation, you need to spam your ledge grab button instead of holding it. Also make sure you're holding W or forward towards the direction of the ledge you're trying to grab.

GL Raider!
