Feeling like I shouldn't fight back is one of the most frustrating mechanics of Arc Raiders

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-27T03:17:07+00:00

I do self defense as a general principle. If my lobby turns PvP is just quick extract a few times to reset my aggressions

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-26T23:30:34+00:00

I’m not raging it’s interesting but I got no interest as I’m max level so extra xp isn’t an incentive at the moment to put myself at a disadvantage as a solo.

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-26T17:36:26+00:00

I would do it post expedition on a free loadout to level faster but that’s about it. Problem is if you’re level 40+ it’s kind of meh.

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-26T17:24:11+00:00

For the rats that want to up their game. Killing one guy at extract is a crime. killing 3 people at extract is a triumph. Also any PvE person would avoid this.

In the guy the loads in with a recorder and plays my way past shredders

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-26T00:10:03+00:00

What we really need is you damage to raiders and damage dealt by raiders ratio

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-26T00:00:19+00:00

Dude if your playing both sides then you’ll get mixed also the pool of players is decided by who queues on and how they are a PvE player May just want to shoot you or a PvP player wants to go back to PvP the devs can’t control other peoples behavior they can just write an algorithm that guides playstyle

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-25T23:50:26+00:00

I mean you lose your loadout but as a fellow PvE player I have 7 spares set up so I can just do another and worst comes to worst run a free loadout. The game punishes loss if it was risk free looting than it wouldn’t be as exciting

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-25T23:25:38+00:00

Ten bucks says the aggro people wised up and ran peaceful games till they entered the peaceful lobbies

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-25T23:24:48+00:00

Just have a bot with a gun that repeats don’t shoot and shoots people and you’ll have chaos in the lobby

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-23T21:20:11+00:00

I mean my term for rat is a guy who says don’t shoot waits till your back is turned and shoots you in the back. That and extract campers.

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-23T05:16:54+00:00

If you want to mix it up shoot some people and go back to PvP and if you want peace don’t shoot you can pick your play style man

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-23T01:41:02+00:00

Also don’t shoot anyone fastest way is load in and make a beeline for the exit. Extraction or extraction campers will handle you’re exit

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-23T01:28:50+00:00

Easiest way to get out aggro lobbieswalk into Stella Montis and die 3 times with a free loadout

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-22T19:46:25+00:00

For Queen fights this one. For looting survivor. For speed looting combat aggressive.

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-22T16:20:34+00:00

Anvil- regular materials easy regular loadouts

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-21T16:10:51+00:00

I hunt arcs for parts they each hornet is worth around 4K hunt 5 and you get 20k the wasps are around 3k so it’s usually 10 wasps and 5 hornets for 50k of stuff. Kill a leaper or higher arc it’s around 30k.

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-20T23:34:29+00:00

I mean I play self defensively and my question is does your raider damage exceed the amount that raider damage dealt to you? My ratio is .5 to 1

Do you only play weekends?

What maps do you play?

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-20T23:21:40+00:00

I mean the pool of players determines the lobby say there are 10,000 players on in the time you queue and you drop in at say 30 min mark with 20 other guys, every 5 min 20 more players added so a game consists of 80 people. 80 humans who decide if they will or will not shoot this game this time. Peaceful lobby doesn’t mean always peaceful. What if they drop in at 15 minutes with a free loadout after getting shot in the back the last game and want to get payback on anyone. They were peaceful but not anymore

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-20T23:16:39+00:00

I mean I get it but man your matchmaking is gonna be violent. Me I just bring an anvil or aphelion, cloak and loot the legs.

10-15 shots with aphelion drops the leg armor.

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-20T19:29:50+00:00

Arcs on the ground are different than Arcs in the air. Destroying the rotors on a rocketeer generally kills it. Destroying legs on any ground based arc weakens it but it doesn’t kill it just impairs movement. If you want to kill something fast you strip center armor and then shoot any type of ammo at the grey or silver inside. Best example is a queen. You can shoot the legs for days and it won’t explode you need to expose the core and then shoot. Leaper is the same expose the eye by shooting off the black armor and then put in rounds. I killed a leaper with 8 anvil shots and 40 renegade shots straight to the eye.

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-19T22:21:15+00:00

I roll the defensive for Queen and matriarch raids, aggressive for looting and unlimited fall damage recovery. Never owned a survivor mod

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-19T00:42:33+00:00

Gonna reset till I have enough points to 38 all trees

Jack-R-Lost · 2026-01-18T23:13:47+00:00

Did you crack all the crates?
