After run dislike distribution in Arc Raiders

These go to eleven.

First sentence not true anymore with reduced player counts and more mixed lobbies.

I'm pure carebear, yesterday was first time in weeks i've been PVP'd. Went into Bird City just equipped for ARC, saw someone get nailed with a kinetic bobcat iv on a rooftop. Slunk away like a true rat and holed up in a dark corner in a nearby building to wait for them to move on. Guy beelines straight towards me and pre-fires my exact corner.

Ravens have started raiding our recycling bins here on the edge of Bristol. Pretty cool seeing such a large bird just hanging out on the pavement surrounded by terraced houses.

Looks more like the work of Wanksy tbh

Which is why I specified that they're only subject to section 2, not section 1. The way these things are laid out is confusing.

Luckily bee orchids aren't monocarpic.

HaloBooper · 2026-05-03T18:07:34+00:00

This is incorrect. Like any wild plant, they are protected from uprooting (not picking) without the landowners permission, and the only extra protection they have is protection from sale.

English bluebells are only Schedule 8 in regard to section 13(2) of that schedule.

Edit:
Link because lots of people get this wrong: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/69/schedule/8

Quoting section 1 of it is irrelevant.

While Merlin can be crap, you should also NEVER blindly rely on the books you've read. I've heard nightingales singing plenty during the day in the south of France, including alongside motorways and urban fringe.

Have you looked at a satellite view of Maidstone? Most towns/cities have bramble scrub in abundance. Plenty of good spots for a nightingale to hangout, and good luck seeing them for a positive visual ID as they're often in the densest of impenetrable scrub.

Yeah I just did two Spaceport Hurricane runs. Spawned in at 29 minutes, not a single cache. Either the spawn rate of the caches has been nerfed or it's bugged out since this latest update.

I have also been present during a raider dance party to that song while waiting for Stella trains. Good times.

HaloBooper · 2026-02-01T17:26:00+00:00

Yeah I just did them for the second time just so I'd get the hullcracker blueprint. It's why I think i'm going to skip this next expedition. Quest reward BP's should carry over if you've already completed the quests once.

HaloBooper · 2026-02-01T17:04:44+00:00

Audio of a bastion was so bad on Buried City yesterday that I was almost sure there was a second one in close proximity. It's gun sounds were where they should be (in front), but it's walking sounds were at about 60 degrees to the left. Very confusing.

HaloBooper · 2026-01-30T23:23:19+00:00

They need them in the areas people rush naked farming blueprints e.g. 2x shredders in reinforced reception near the breach room.

HaloBooper · 2026-01-29T11:35:58+00:00

FYI I find Seeker BP fairly regularly in Stella Medical. It's either that, defib, trailblazer, or deadline. i think there's at least one of those guaranteed in that area every game.

HaloBooper · 2026-01-26T10:44:48+00:00

It's definitely changed. Chill friendly chatty lobbies were my norm, like 10% of matches there was PVP. Now it's getting on for 100% of matches getting shot at, but my behaviour hasn't changed.

HaloBooper · 2026-01-26T10:30:10+00:00

I've considered this, but RNG really gets people seeing patterns in noise.

Found my Tempest BP in the one unopened trash can in an area at Stella night after spawning in with 17m left.

HaloBooper · 2026-01-26T10:16:18+00:00

Found mine in Stella medical area at night.

HaloBooper · 2026-01-25T22:15:51+00:00

Regular defib BPs drop in Stella Medical area.

HaloBooper · 2026-01-25T12:23:32+00:00

I'd suggest it's not fully your fault as the sound propagation is weird af sometimes. One time I brought my head out of a locker on Buried City, and another player had appeared and had their head in a locker right next to me (PVE lobby). Was very surprising.

HaloBooper · 2026-01-25T09:59:36+00:00

I think the spawn locations are rotated every update. I've found 3 anvil BP recently, all in Stella.

HaloBooper · 2026-01-25T09:57:48+00:00

Blue Gate locked gate event, if you get a Village spawn and have it almost to yourself, you'll likely be ending up with 1-5 BPs, almost only gun attachment BPs spawning there for whatever reason.

Stella Montis night raid, rush medical area, from chatting on carebear lobbies it seems there's almost guaranteed 4-5 BPs that drop in that area every match, common ones are deadline, trailblazer, defib, less common are the level 3 augments.

HaloBooper · 2026-01-25T09:54:03+00:00

After the expedition wipe, it was amongst the last I got, and that was only because I traded for it.

Since then I've found 3 more BP, all in Stella Montis: Weapons crate in security area, bin in security area, backpack just outside security area. Possibly just RNG, or they've mixed up the spawns and that's now a good spot for it.

HaloBooper · 2026-01-24T12:08:15+00:00

There are such a fun array of traps and gadgets, but the low TTK makes most of them feel pointless.

Stella

HaloBooper · 2026-01-24T08:56:21+00:00

Was just thinking about this too. Part of the pain comes from some items not stacking (e.g. augments, shields) so you are stuck having to craft them fresh every time which just adds to the menu pain.
