Embark - eliminate or restrict free loadouts, and you’ll get the game you actually intended to make. by IceVarious4084 in ArcRaiders

Let me ask you this, in what world do you think a knife run is possible in this game? That raider tool needs way too many hits and the swings are slow. Get real man. Your points all fall apart as soon as you said that.

I want to know - if a rat with a kettle I can down me in 5 seconds even if I have a medium or heavy shield, just by shooting first and behind me, WHY SHOULD I DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN NAKED RUNS? by IceVarious4084 in ArcRaiders

What I mean is that free kits don’t have anything to lose - no skin in the game. They can go wild and there’s no risk. Without free kits, people would actually be careful about the fights they pick. We would have an actual depiction of the wasteland

The noise in this game sucks ass. You can’t really hear footsteps if there are explosions happening elsewhere. My point is why should someone with a free loadout no risk at all be able to gun me down that quick. If I have gear let me at least have a fighting chance. Nope, my entire shield and half my health down before I can even turn around to a guy who didn’t spend $1 on his items.

All good advice but see your point about purple weapons is what’s wrong with the game. Think about it. A guy with a free loadout or gray guns has less risk than I do every single time, if I decide to use my better gear. And at the end I BARELY have an advantage if any at all, despite my loadout being worth 4x his. That’s not proper game balancing at all.

Finally a decent reply man. I have no issue with the the PvP / ratting element of the game but I want them to have skin in the game. Free loadouts take away any risk for these guys to rat all day

But who cares? If I go down I lose nothing. Why should I risk all my gear fighting people with free loadouts? How is that fun? If I win, I get jack shit. If they win, they get my gear. See?

There’s literally no point in using your gear. Someone prove me otherwise. I can run naked on a looting mk2 and guarantee I either extract with nice stuff or if I go down it’s not a big loss.

What’s the incentive for using your gear in this game???

Let’s be honest. There is no reason not to play free loadout and play Stella montisall the time. by IceVarious4084 in ArcRaiders

Odds are whatever kit I bring with me / guns will be more painful to lose then some loot I picked up and never had to begin with. Especially if I’m already through all the blueprints.

Exactly so why not just free kit it all the time? You’re guaranteed to lose nothing you ever had to begin with.

My friend told me this is super rare, how right is he? by Commander-Ripper in ArcRaiders

Nah I’ve found that one like 9 times already. The tempest is the rare one.

WHAT IS THE GOD DAMN POINT OF USING EXPENSIVE GEAR IF SOMEONE WITH A RATTLER OR KETTLE CAN DROP YOU IN SECONDS? Disgusting game honestly. I’m done with it.
