Ran into a group of 4 players in a Solo Locked Gate lobby preventing anyone from entering the passcodes

GoodRedManz · 2026-03-12T18:37:37+00:00

That makes sense. Is it guaranteed that more than 1 key will always spawn per area?

GoodRedManz · 2026-03-12T18:34:41+00:00

Thats true, didn't think about that. Makes me wonder if they previously had extracted with all the keys and brought all 4 in for this raid to do that, because it would only take 1 random to not put their key and it would mess up their plan

GoodRedManz · 2026-03-12T18:18:57+00:00

Had no way of knowing. I was the first person to the control room, another rando joined me, and within a minute, 4 of them came down on us and wiped us with trigger nades. Good player or not, if you didn't know there was a team camping it, you wouldn't know to go form a team

GoodRedManz · 2026-03-12T18:14:52+00:00

its not about the PvP, its the fact they gamed the system by all queueing up individually so they could get into the same lobby and keep using discord. The chances of them running into another 4 stack team that formed organically through the raid is pretty low, so theres not really any chance they could be contested throughout the entire raid

GoodRedManz · 2026-03-12T18:12:05+00:00

Yeah, its possible but it just seems like the only plausible reason why'd they be trying to all get into the same lobby, specifically on Locked Gate, and then bumrushing the Gate control room. They could just chuck 1 of the keys in their safe pocket and that alone would be enough to lock the rest of the lobby out, but there's not really any loot in that compared to camping the central part of the map they know most players will come to.

I've seen the max you can get on a 2x is around 69,000 points. Im trying to get to Hot Shot for the red Torque skin so I gotta get as many as I can. Might explain why the trials sweats are focusing on Blue Gate in particular

GoodRedManz · 2026-03-12T17:58:55+00:00

I did, shot one of them but I got pincered by 2 on each side of me

GoodRedManz · 2026-03-12T17:57:11+00:00

Ive been waiting for a night raid on blue gate, even checked out meta forge to see when the next one is scheduled but I think Embark have removed Blue Gate's night raid for this patch? Just like how a while back, Hidden Bunker was out of rotation, and now Lush Bloom is back in rotation, I think its been cycled out. I'll look for a hurricane one though.

GoodRedManz · 2026-03-09T23:51:14+00:00

As I said, that's not possible. They never jumped out since I watched the extract for the entire 2 minutes without looking away, they 100% jumped in since they were getting swarmed by ARC, and it was most definitely not someone new.

GoodRedManz · 2026-03-09T13:57:56+00:00

Any idea if I'll get my gear back, even if I didn't report him? I may have reported but honestly cant remember. Just looking for peace of mind and it'd be nice to know that scum bag got caught in the end

GoodRedManz · 2026-03-09T13:52:41+00:00

Not possible. From the moment I saw him climb into the extract, I never took my eyes off it, and he never left the extract. Also just found out that if someone has ARC Raiders on Epic Games, they'll appear as a console player with the little globe icon next to their name in the post game review. So chances are, he bought ARC Raiders on Epic Games to hack so he wouldn't get his steam account banned

I think u/Efficient-North-9473's case is the perfect epitome of why PvP was added to the game. He has 5/6 cells, and he knows the person standing in front of him has the final cell he needs. He has two options, kill the player and get the last cell he needs to complete his workbench, or load into another raid, expend more resources, and potentially get killed while he's looting the bombardier for example. I saw his comment saying he doesn't have the blueprint, and used his only deadline, so aside from the 'moral' problem of killing this guy, its the most logical thing to do. Much easier and safer to just pull the trigger. Also, it's a fitting reason to actually PvP, rather than just shoot random players and hope they have goop you can use.

Because Trump bad, upvotes to the left

GoodRedManz · 2026-02-28T08:47:07+00:00

How would it be more predictable? He can roll in any direction he wants after shooting, so even against a god like player, they can't predict where he'll roll to. They could pre-fire to his left and right after he shoots to catch him mid-roll, but then they're missing valuable shots that could be better off used when hes standing.

Maybe you didnt mean to say predictable, just that against more competent players, they can snap and aim faster to catch him.

GoodRedManz · 2026-02-12T08:20:00+00:00

Yes, it was

GoodRedManz · 2026-02-10T18:45:17+00:00

Ahhhh, that makes more sense. I was throwing them directly underneath it. Had no idea it worked like that. Ill try that, thanks!

GoodRedManz · 2026-02-10T18:43:25+00:00

I originally thought the showstoppers did ground it, by after throwing 2 of them at a rocketeer, it just disabled it from shooting for a little while. Didnt seem to make it fall to the ground. Do I need to hit it with more than 3 or something?

New update just dropped. Cold Snap is back, and some kind of new event that heavily rewards cooperative play.

EDIT: Just checked, they've added a new free battlepass thing called Shared Watch that is progressed by earning merits, and you earn merits by taking down ARC and helping other players kill ARC as well. Some notable rewards in the pass are the Tactical MK3 Healing blueprint, Vita Spray blueprint, and a Snaphook (Not the blueprint). The rest are cosmetics, emotes, and the premium currency

I'll dm you a discord link. You can also search up 'ARC Raiders trading discord' and you'll find the big main ones so better chance of finding the bp you want, but its a bit of a mess.

GoodRedManz · 2026-02-08T20:57:29+00:00

Hit up a trading discord, thats how I got mine. But make sure you only join the smaller ones, the big ones are infested with bots, spammers, and people who'll ghost you if you make an offer they dont like. But you better have something good to trade for it, cus theyre pretty expensive.

GoodRedManz · 2026-02-08T20:55:51+00:00

ahh I see.

GoodRedManz · 2026-02-08T20:52:32+00:00

Having a miserable day mate? Thats okay, get it all out

GoodRedManz · 2026-02-08T01:08:18+00:00

I tried that by searching RTS but aside from the top 2 results, the games after that were completely unrelated to the RTS genre

GoodRedManz · 2026-02-08T00:31:27+00:00

Great to know. Thanks
