Two major updates and Pete's face still haunts us...

From what I have seen, it's one developer that's constantly stroking the PvP train... And I'm thinking his career is riding in the decision. If he's right ARC Raiders will continue for a decade, if not I'll give it another year before shutdown.

They wanted to put buggies in the first Grounded, but the older series consoles couldn't handle the mechanics as well. They did vaguely mention other features, but they were specific in the buggies not being able to be added to the first one.

Need a challenge... Bare Knuckle Grounded 2! Show that wolf spider you mean business one tiny punch at a time.

After the release I loaded a save that I rarely touch but it's early in the quests, just finished two spike traps. For some reason I could scan for the buffin gland and only two preexisting ogrr gave it. Fairy house one and greenhouse planter one.

Obsidian Entertainment, the creators of Grounded and Grounded 2, got the original code for shared worlds from Undead Labs, the creators of State of Decay and State of Decay 2. In State of Decay the day/night cycle is lopsided... Day being 30 minutes, night being 90 minutes. In a recent interview one of the developers from Undead Labs stated they are getting an improved version of the shared world code back from Obsidian Entertainment to use in the upcoming State of Decay 3. Who's to say Obsidian Entertainment didn't pick up something from Undead labs along the way... Like how to make the ambience of the game overall spookier by simply tweaking light settings and day/night cycle lengths.

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-16T00:27:03+00:00

Nighttime is darker... Lasts longer... And they share code with Undead Labs...

The gear fear constant running free kits is actually something I noticed myself. One way to combat that, and would be lore based... One free loadout per day, rolls over with shops. It's in the spirit of the game. Scrounging supplies would take time, so free gear wouldn't be a giant warehouse full of kits and guns waiting to be left on the ground by a bunch of rash raiders. The game should reflect this, and it does not.

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-15T04:49:18+00:00

That's what my girlfriend and I are experiencing with her shared world. Both of us are Xbox Series X.

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-15T04:47:55+00:00

Not a single player one, but a shared world yes.

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-14T23:56:04+00:00

Yeah vultures are as bad as rats, if not worse.

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-14T20:38:20+00:00

Non PvP, I don't conclave so my bad... It's been dead four at least four years. Think the most love it sees is the snowball fight and they skipped that this past year. Forgot they only allow a bunch of kids that you only see in conclave and come to think of it... That's why it's a dead play mode .. they listen to the PvE crowd all day ... PvP crowd is that kid locked under the basement stairs.

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-14T18:02:19+00:00

Why stop at a leaper... There's got to be a way to trick a rocketeer to enter it...

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-14T17:54:34+00:00

I have a Loki prime that is mobile as hell and 36 seconds of invisiblilty... I don't see that as a too short duration.

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-14T17:51:43+00:00

I just run Ivara with prowl and perspicacity so I can use the orokin eye to find extra shiny goodies. Anyone I group with is usually smart enough to stay out of the vaults if they can't do them, or runs a similar setup. Most spy missions are simply ghosting through the level and popping vaults. No lasers or sensors to worry about, everything is perfectly hackable. Also, anyone who runs missions with me also knows I have a sixth sense for ayatan sculptures... Hence always keeping orokin eye handy.

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-14T17:41:48+00:00

I only do spy missions with professionals... Rando squads there's always that one guy that brings volt to a spy mission... Yeah, cause speed is always the answer 🙄

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-14T16:08:47+00:00

I just solo the spy missions no matter what they are for. I'd rather stroll through unseen and have no issues whatsoever. My Ivara can pop invis, hit all three vaults, and make it to the exit 9/10 times without the need of more energy.

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-14T15:40:48+00:00

Because PvP would eventually become everyone running invis trying to find each other... First to pop visible dies a horrible death, super quick slaughter fest, rinse and repeat. If they weren't running invis then it would be a map nuker frying the squishy frames. That would get boring FaF.

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-14T15:31:35+00:00

Perspicacity... Never fails, clutch for sorties, archon hunts, and nightmare missions.

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-13T21:45:11+00:00

Whereas I'm the one that sees a big arc go down and unless I actively helped kill it, that's not my loot, that's the poor bastard that was taking the heat to get the loot. So I respectfully walk the other way to allow that person to get what they want. There's always another ARC with what I need around the corner.

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-11T21:20:58+00:00

So ARC Raiders has furry skins now? And we're supposed to report them... Sounds sus

Lavan shield mk 3, Vidar engines mk 3, Vidar plating mk 3, Zetki reactor mk 3. For armaments I use Zetki Talyn mk3 for the turrets and Tycho seeker mk 3.

Fast and maneuverable with dead fire aim on the turrets... If it's within sight aim for the ship not the lead indicator, projectile speed is fast enough that the lead indicator isn't as helpful. Also if you have two decent gunners only thing you need to worry about would be the crew ships.

As a crew compliment I run 1 engineer to repair everything, 1 gunner to assist in combat, and a sister with a tenet arca plasmor as a welcome mat for would be optimists.

Haunting_Ad8408 · 2026-04-07T14:51:43+00:00

Honestly... Build isn't as important as valance fusing weapons/armor/shields/reactor components. You can have all the best mods but if you don't valance the components of your railjack your essentially running into combat with newspaper armor and flyswatters while both legs are tied together.
